Palliative medicine deserved to improve quality of life of patients with advanced, incurable diseases. During last 13 years palliative care workers tried to palliate the pain, physical, psychological, spiritual symptoms of suffering, but they never measured the quality of life of palliative care patients. The term quality of life is used to evaluate the general well-being of individuals and societies. 111 countries of the World established Country QOL Index. Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, which is based primarily on income, should not be confused with quality of health services, which is based on medical supplies, equipment, quality of medicine, education level of health workers. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is “The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life”. Health related quality of life index not established for all medical specialties. Some tools for measuring quality of life established for diabetic patients (DQOL), cancer patients (Ca QOL), HIV patients (HIVQOL), and palliative care patients (Pa QOL). In Mongolia since 2000 started to talk about quality of services and in 2008 started program on quality of health services, but never provided study of health related quality of life of any patientTo provide the study of quality of life index within palliative care patients and compare quality of life index with pain score and score of other physical, psychological, spiritual suffering of palliative care patientsWe provided study of quality of life index within 60 palliative care patients by MISSOULA-VITAS®- 15 quality of life index, pain score by Wong Baker scale, symptoms of suffering by Anderson method, functional activities by Karnofsky performance scale, psychological problems by hospital anxiety scale23.3% of patients were up to 45 years old, 76.6 % were older 45. 70% of palliative care patients in our study were patients with cancer, 30% were palliative care patients with non cancer pathology. The mean Quality of life Index of total palliative care patients was 37.7. They had more common symptoms of suffering, like pain (90%), fatigue (83.3%), weight loss (83.3%), poor appetite (66.6%), thirst (66.6%), nausea (53.3%), constipation (60%)., depression (66.7%) and anxiety (70%). 56.6% of palliative care patients had spiritual suffering because of false hope, lost of meaning, relationship problems, and forgiveness. Increasing the score of symptoms of physical, psychological, spiritual and social suffering correlated to decreasing the quality of life index.We need to develop comprehensive palliative care to improve quality of life palliative care patients.

To study the correlation within psychological and social suffering in palliative care cancer patientsWe provide study within 100 palliative care patients with cancer stage 3-4. Depression was evaluated by San Diego hospice screening method with 3 questions. Anxiety was assessed by Spielberg -Hanin anxiety scale. Spiritual pain was assessed by San Diego hospice questionnaire, which includes main 4 factors of spiritual suffering, like cooperation, meaning of life, hope, forgiveness. Results of study was statistically evaluated by SPSS20 program.19% of patients had depression, 40% had anxiety, 46% patients had insomnia. 18% of patients with depression had spiritual suffering. 33% of patients with anxiety had spiritual pain. 31% of patients with insomnia had spiritual pain. Depression and spiritual suffering had mild correlation (R-0.318), anxiety and spiritual suffering had mild correlation (R-0.330), insomnia and spiritual suffering had very strong correlation (R-0.84). Psychological suffering of palliative care cancer patients increased with spiritual suffering and correlated with spiritual suffering. Especially insomnia had very strong correlation with spiritual suffering (R-0.84).

Environmental pollution, manufactured cities related to human activities such as soil contaminated by heavy metals pollution is one of the problems of the world’s major cities. Heavy metals are one of the main sources of pollution and the environment through biogeochemical cycles, and stored for a long time in the body of living organisms, poisoning is able to generate a negativeimpact on human health. Ulaanbaatar, 2010, along the main road in 11 point analysis of 22 soil samples from some of the heavy metal pollution in the soil lead levels were within normal limits,but the high concentration of topsoil is defined. A study conducted in 2011, but the average leadconcentration of 47.3 ppm healthy uncontaminated soil that is 3-4 times larger than defined.Heavy metals in the soil pollution, but pollution levels being conducted quarterly study and their sources of research have been identified. Heavy metal contamination of Ulaanbaatar soil andcalculation of the amount of heavy metals enter the body. Specialized inspection agency of Ulaanbaatar cities laboratory analysis conducted, the data used as descriptive research study design, participated in the study. Metropolitan areas in the 80 point balance divided analyzed by standard analysis of soil samples collected in spring and autumn, MNS5850:2008 was assessed by comparison with the standard.The average amount of lead in the soil of Ulaanbaatar 18.09 mg/kg (95%CI 13.7-22.4mg/kg), and cadmium concentration of 1.02 mg/kg (95%CI 0.7-1.3mg/kg), the mercury concentration of0.03 mg/kg (95%CI 0.006-0.05 mg/kg) that “The quality of the soil, and soil pollutants, maximum permissible elements” MNS5850:2008 standards, compared to less than the maximum allowed. Lead in the soil through the ingestion 11.75x10-3 mg/kg/day (95%CI 8.9-14.55x10-3 mg/kg/day) and cadmium 0.66x10-3 mg/kg/day (95%CI 0.45-0.84x10-3 mg/kg/day) of mercury 0.02x10-3 mg/kg/day (95%CI 0.0-0.03x10-3 mg/kg/day), and inhalation of lead 1.06x10-6 mg/m3 (95%CI 0.80-1.32x10-6 mg/m3) and cadmium 0.06x10-6 mg/m3 (95%CI 0.00-0.08x10-6 mg/m3), dermal adsorption lead 2.62x10-6 mg/kg/day (95%CI 1.98-3.24x10-6 mg/kg/day) and cadmium 0.15x10-6 mg/kg/day (95%CI 0.10-0.19x10-6 mg/kg/day) be digestible. Ulaanbaatar soil containing lead, cadmium, mercury, “The quality of the soil, and soil pollutants, maximum permissible elements” MNS5850:2008 compared to less than the maximum permitted levels. Three entry through access to the body of heavy metals in the soil to estimate the amount of mercury and cadmium lead digestive, respiratory and skin is a little more access.

Introduction: Oligophrenia makes 7.3% of all mental disorders in our country. It is known that almost 4% of all diagnosed cases of oligophrenia developed as a result of an inherited disturbance of amino acid metabolism. In most countries, the frequencies of inherited diseases of amino acid metabolism in the population are determined, and preventive screening programs of newborns are implemented. No study has been conducted so far into the issue of inherited diseases of amino acid metabolism in the Mongolian population. The goal of our survey was to detect inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism in the population at risk. Materials and Methods: The collection of samples and the laboratory analysis were carried out in the following two stages:
1. The screening analysis of 514 individuals diagnosed with mental retardation was performed by paper chromatography;
2. The positivecases detected by the screening were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: The screening testing detected twelve potential disturbances of amino acid metabolism. Out of the twelve positive cases four individuals refused to participate in the confirmatory stage of the survey. Among the remained eight individuals, cases of hypertyrosinemia, hypervalinemia, hyperglycinemia, hyperlysinemia and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy were detected. Conclusions
1. The fact that cases of inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism were detected among mentally retarded individuals show that the disorder is one of causes of oligophrenia.
2. A screening program of newborns should be implemented for early detection of inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism.
3. A genetic counselling and testing centre could assist in reduction of number of individuals with inherited disorders.

Hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) are viral infections which can cause acute and chronic hepatitis and are the leading causes for hepatic cirrhosis and cancer, thus creating a significant burden to healthcare systems due to the high morbidity/mortality and costs of treatment. The risk of HBV infection in an unvaccinated person from a single HBV-infected needle stick injury ranges from 6–30. The prevention of HBV infection among HCWs has become a crucial issue. HBV can effectively be prevented by vaccination. A safe and effective HBV vaccine has been available since the 1980s and can prevent acute and chronic infection with an estimated effectivity of 95%. In 2017, the São Paulo Declaration on Hepatitis was launched at the World Hepatitis Summit 2017, calling upon governments to include hepatitis B vaccines for HCWs in national immunization programs. The vaccine is 95% effective in preventing infection and its chronic consequences and has an outstanding record of safety and effectiveness. Data on current hepatitis B vaccine coverage among HCWs in Mongolia is scarce. According to Azzaya et al, the protection level of the subjects was 67.2% >100 mIU/ml, 18.8%, 11-100 mIU/mL and 14.1%, 0-10 mIU/mL based on antibody titer level respectively among the vaccinated HCWs at the 2nd Central hospital. Thus, the HBV vaccination among public and private sector HCWs in Mongolia to inform the health authorities about the HCWs HBV vaccination status along with associated problems and challenges for further improving vaccination strategy among HCWs.
