BackgroundThe preparations of multi-component have been the subject of chemical study for a long time. Therefore, when compounding the preparations of multi-component in traditional medicine, their taste is cautiously relied on, as the power of the one medicine should not be subdued with the power of another. Additionally the properties of the components and their regulating effects on the body systems are also considered. Our research group has been carrying out tests for raw materials,which are contained in multi-component preparations. However, it is a necessity to conduct phytochemical study on multi-component preparations in order to isolate pure biological active compounds and to identify their structure as well as to quantify its amount by modern techniques of analysis.GoalThe aim of the present study was to isolate pure biological active substances from Mongolian traditional medicine Garidi-5 and to elucidate their structures, which was used in Mongolian traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation and as a pain relieving remedy.Objectives:1. To isolate pure substances from Garidi-5 and carry out tests to identify and determine their structure2. To quantify the amount of biological active substances.Materials and MethodsMongolian traditional medicine Garidi-5 has been selected as a biological natural product for the study. Garidi-5 is a traditional Mongolian medicine consisting of 5 medicinal herbs, namely Terminalia chebula Retz., Aconitum Kusnezoffii Reichb., Acorus calamus L., Saussurea lappa L., and musk of Moschus moschiferus and manufactured in the Drug factory of Traditional Medical Science Technology and Production Corporation of Mongolia. In this research, in order to determine the total content of phenolic compound was used the Folin–Ciocalteu method, which based on performing dark blue color complex compound. Isolated substance identification was determined by the TLC, UV and IR spectrophotometric methods. Inaddition it was checked melting point of the isolated substance. Determination of Gallic acid30g Garidi-5 was macerated in 60ml 80% methanol at room temperature for 24 h. After extraction, the extract was concentrated and vacuum evaporated. Different solvents from hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol were used for theexperiment. All the extracts collected, evaporated and chromatographed on Silica gel column. Future purification of active fractions on Silica gel with methanol yielded the compound G1 which was further characterized as Gallic acid. Total phenolic content was determined spectrophotometrically according to the Folin–Ciocalteu’s method with slight modification. Gallic acid was used as a standard phenolic compound. Briefly, 1 ml of extract solution contains 1 mg extracts, in a volumetric flask diluted with distilled water (46 ml). One ml of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent was added and the content of the flask mixed thoroughly. After 3 min, 3 ml of Na2CO3 (2%) was added and then the mixture was allowed to stand for 2 h with intermittent shaking. The absorbance was measured at 760 nm in a spectrophotometer. All measurements were performed in triplicate.ResultsIn this research, TLC method on silica gel plates was used in order to identify the biological active pure substances from Garidi-5. Preliminary TLC experiments indicated the presence of Gallic acid in Garidi-5, which was isolated by column chromatography by comparing with reference standard substance (Gallic acid). Gallic acid was determined in the solvent system benzole-ethyl acetateformic acid- acetone (5:5:2:0.5) in isolated substance (G1). It showed blue color, Rf =0.65, on TLC plate. [1] For the characterization of two samples it was carried out IR analysis for each. In the IR spectra of G1 and standard substance can be recognized by the following absorption frequency regions: 700-900 cm-1 for Car-H; 1000-1300 cm-1 for vibration of bonds in various oxygen containing groups, 1350-1470 cm-1 for vibrations of –CH, -CH2 and –CH3 groups; 1500-1630 cm-1 for skeletal vibrations of aromatic rings, >C=O bonds; 2800-2950 cm-1 for stretching vibrations of –CH, -CH2 and -CH3 groups in saturated aliphatic structures; and 3030-3350 cm-1 for stretching associated vibrations of -OH groups in aromatic rings and aliphatic structures. As a result it was revealed that both IR spectra of G1 and standard substances were similar. [3]Further for the characterization of two samples it was carried out UV analysis of each. In the UV spectra of G1 and standard substance can be recognized by the following absorption frequency regions: 260-280nm for benzole groups; 200-225nm for carbonic acids; 400-770nm >C=O bonds, which reveal the presence of Gallic acid. In addition, melting point of isolated substance G1 was analyzed and detected at 2410C, which was similar to the standard substance’s melting point. [4]Moreover, Mongolian traditional medicine Garidi-5 contains 24% of the biological active substance (total phenolic compounds). [2]Conclusions:As a result of current study on Mongolian medicine Garidi-5, it was isolated one essential substance from ethyl acetate fraction. The phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of Gallic acid in Garidi- 5, which was determined by thin layer chromatography, UV and IR spectrophotometric methods. Mongolian traditional medicine Garidi-5 contains 24% of the biological active substance. Thus, the isolation of Gallic acid from multi-component preparations and identification of its structure was first phytochemical study conducted in our laboratory.

BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10-15% of couples of reproductive age have infertility. According to researcher D. Sukhe (1999), hormonal infertility in the reproductive age of women was 33.6%, which was a large part of the cause of infertility. In recent years, the number of cases of endocrine disorders, including malignancy and sexually transmitted infections, has been increasing year by year. According to WHO reports, thyroid disorders have a prevalence of 49.3% for active reproductive age (30-50). According to the report of the Health Development Center in 2016, since the thyroid disorders are the second most common disease in endocrine gland disease, our study found that the infertility in reproductive age of women can be substantial due to the loss of thyroid gland.
METHODS: The study was carried out by the couple of 20-45 year-olds and modeled as an analytical study model. The questionnaire was used for the couple’s interviews and some of the measurement of body and serum use of TOSOH Corporation AIA-360, Tokyo, Japan. On the serum, anti-TPO and аnti-TG carbohydrates are identified by the Cobas e-411 analyzer under the manufacturer’s accompanying protocol.
RESULTS: 76.7% of women were diagnosed with infertility euthyroid, 0.7% hyperthyroidism, 22.6% hypothyroidism (3.8% with overt hypothyroidism and 18.8% subclinical hypothyroidism). Prevalence of TAI, in 6.7% isolated positive anti-Tg were found, and 14.3% had isolated positive TPO, In 3.7% of cases, both types of autoantibodies were present.
We analysed binary logistic regression for anti-TPO and anti-TG autoantibody in the positive and negative group in past obstetrics history, evidence of positive of anti-TPO and anti-Tg was increased risk of miscarriage 2.2 times (OR = 2.2, p <0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Women with disorders in our study have high percentage of subclinical hypothyroidism and have higher rate of thyroid autobodies in serum which may be a problem for women with infertility and pregnancy complications due to the loss of thyroid gland. There is a need to develop a principle of recovery and treatment.

Objectives: This study aims to survey the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension (HTN)
among nurses. Methods: Data was collected from 528 nurses of 23 hospitals in Ulaanbaatar
(UB) and local hospitals in other regions. We randomly selected day-shift only nurses (264) and
shift nurses (264), collected blood samples, administered a health survey questionnaire, and
processed data with SPSS 19.0 statistic software. Results: Overall, 8% of participants who
work for shift and 7.2% of day working nurses are smokers (p<0.0001). 3.2% of shift working
nurses and 3.8% day working nurses use overuse alcohol (p<0.0001). The day working nurses
and the shift working nurses and compared their BMI to measured normal (42.1% and 36.4%)
overweight (39.7% and 43.9%), obesity (18.2% and 19.7%) (p<0.02), central obesity normal
(39.4% and 34.5%), and central obesity≥ 80 (60.6% and 65.5%), body fat percentages are
normal (29.2% and 16.1%) and increase (70.8% and 73.9%), visceral obesity are normal
(65.9% and 63.3%) and increase (34.1% and 36.7%). Nurses (day-work and shift-work) who
have arterial HTN are detected by normal (72.3% and 59.1%), prodromal period (14.4% and
16.7%), 1st stage (12.1% and 19.7%), 2nd stage (1.2% and 4.5%) (p<0.002). Working time of
nurses detected that shift working nurses’ arterial hypertension amount is higher than day time
working nurses. Conclusion: 24.2% of shift working nurses have HTN is showed that higher
than day time working nurses. Hypertension is directly related to overweight, obesity, visceral
obesity and high blood glucose level. (p<0.0001).

Objective: This study examines the job satisfaction of Mongolian hospital nurses by comparing their status and workload of Mongolian nurses with Japanese nurses’ one.Settings and participants/Methods: Survey data were collected from randomly selected 200 nurses (100 were Mongolians and the other 100 were Japanese) who agreed to participate in the survey. Data were collected through a self-administered survey questionnaire. Survey items were age, the duration of work experience, work position, health condition, accumulated fatigue, stress level, and whether having family members who need child care or nursing care. Collected data were analyzed by t-test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test.Results: The average age of Mongolian nurses was significantly lower than that of Japanese nurses. Consequently, the average work experience of Mongolian nurses was less than that of Japanese nurses. More Japanese than Mongolian nurses had family members in need of care. Job satisfaction and status were significantly higher among Japanese than Mongolian nurses. However, Japanese nurses have family members who need child care or nursing care at a higher rate than Mongolian nurses. Job satisfaction of Japanese nurses about their work and job status was significantly higher than Mongolian nurses’ one. However, the opposite result was found in the job satisfaction about their workload. The influence of the relationships among nurses on the job satisfaction was significantly greater in Mongolian nurses than in Japanese nurses. Job satisfaction of Japanese nurses about their salaries was significantly higher than Mongolian nurses’ one.Conclusion: In order to raise nurses’ job satisfaction in Mongolia, it is necessary to raise their “occupational status” and salary of nurses.

Purpose:
Researchers suggest that the prevalence of infertility varies between developing
and developed countries, with differences in infertility care, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and
reproductive disorders such as pelvic inflammatory disease and sexually transmitted infections
being the main risk factors. The research project aims is to define risk factors for female fertility in
the Mongolian population.
Methods:
This study was conducted between 2016-2018 using a cross-sectional survey of
analytical research. Participants were randomly selected from Ulaanbaatar and the Central,
Western, Eastern, and Khangai provinces according to Mongolia’s regional geographic model.
The contents of a questionnaire were comprised of 5 units with 95 questions including socio-economic, geographical, lifestyle, health education, reproductive health indicators, sexual
behavior. General physical characteristics were measured according to the standard.
Results:
The prevalence of the female fertility rate in the Mongolian population is 7.4%. Female
participants were classified into 2 groups, namely infertile and fertile, and we developed a case-control study. Among the socio-economic factors influencing infertility, primary education aOR:
1.6 (95% CI 0.98-2.66), monthly household income lower than the average aOR: 1.1 (95% CI 0.77-
1.66), living in rural areas OR: 2.3 ( 95% CI 1.46-3.68) were crucial risk factors. As for reproductive
and general health indicators, STIs aOR: 1.8 (95% CI 0.98-3.50), especially gonorrhea OR: 2.8 (95%
CI 1.14-6.91), and thyroid disorders OR: 1.7 (95% CI 1.03). -2.97), grade 3 obesity OR: 3.8 (95% CI
1.05-13.95) are estimated risk factors for infertility.
Conclusions
Of all potential socio-economic factors, residence status, education and financial
situation are significant for female infertility meanwhile reproductive health indicators include
sexually transmitted infections, thyroid disease, and obesity.
