First Maternity Hospital in Ulaanbaatar has provided 1890 women, 2508 women and 3728 women in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, for diseases in women. Uterine myoma, ovarian cysts, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, ovariandysfunction and endometriosis are commonly among women. These need to be diagnosed at early stages of the diseases. Endometrial carcinoma is detected in 5% of women under 40 years of age with over amount of hormone estrogen on a base of endometrial hyperplasia.Women with endometrial hyperplasia have 5% possibility to have endometriosis, endometroidcysts, ovarian cancer or uterine myoma and 0.5% possibility to have higher complication of disease. Therefore, we aimed to introduce the practical treatment with cytological analysis as a medical treatment and diagnosis method. The purpose of the research is to highlight the diseases mostly occurring in women, determine cytological changes and differences and improve the differential diagnosis.The research work has been carried out based on reports of cytological analyses undertaken by the National Centre of Pathology for 1310 patients, who were all of patients treated at the Inpatient Care Department in FMH in 2014. This study included in the cytological analyses at the National Centre of Pathology, by using special questinnaries and did retrospective study. 67.7% /888/, 27.8% /365/ and 4.3% /57/ of the above mentioned women were tested with cytological analyses due to surgical diseases, endocrinology diseases and inflammatory diseases, respectively. The average age is 39±58. The uterine myoma, the ovarian cyst and dysfunctional uterine bleeding have been more commonly occurred among the 35 diseases in women as 38.9% /510/, 15.7% /206/ and 16.7%/219/ of the women, respectively. For endometriosis cases, the ovarian endometriosis occurred with 3.7%, the fallopian tube endometriosis occurred 2.4%, the adenomyosis occurred 4.7% and the combined endometriosis occurred 0.5%.Based on the reports of cytological analyses on endometrial hyperplasia, the details show that the simple hyperplasia is 52.4% /178/ and the complex hyperplasia is 47.6% /162/.Compared with women without the HPV, a cervical intraepithelial neoplasia occurs to women with the HPVmore than 20 times. /p<0.001, OR=20.81/. It is statistically important that 2nd stage of adenomyosiscauses atypic cellular changes for 3 times. /p<0.001, OR=3.09/. In women, the uterine myoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and ovarian cyst disorders are most common. Average age of women with disease in women is 39.58.Compared with women without the HPV, a cellular change occurs to women with the HPV more than 20 times. /p<0.001, OR=20.81/.The 2nd stage of adenomyosis causes atypic cellular changes for 3 times. /p<0.001, OR=3.09/
2.DIFFERENCES IN ATTITUDES ON PATIENT SAFETY CULTURE BETWEEN PHYSICIANS AND NURSES
Innovation 2017;11(1):24-29
BACKGROUND
Patient safety has become a matter of interest to healthcare professionals, governments and
researchers worldwide. During the last decade, many studies have been conducted to assess
the prevalence, severity and causes of a large variety of different types of adverse events in
hospitals, as well as the effectiveness of various approaches to enhance safety. In Mongolia,
it is also an arguable point, mistakes and errors associated with physicians, hospital staffs and
healthcare organizations has been occurring frequently in recent years. Our main aim is to find
difference between physicians and nurses’ attitude on patient safety culture.
METHODS
The study included 3 tertiary hospitals from Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia with a total of 122
respondents; all hospital staff. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC)
Questionnaire from AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) was used. AHRQ
methods, Pearson’s Chi-squared test, pairwise proportion test (p≤ 0,05) were used for statistical
analysis.
RESULTS
Patient safety in hospitals was evaluated as positive by 62.3% of healthcare workers. The highest
scores were obtained in specific dimensions as teamwork within unit (77.3%), unit’s team
learning from occurred adverse events (71%). Per our survey, health care workers considered
non-punitive response to error (20.6%) and communication openness (27.7%) as being weak
areas. In surveyed hospitals, physicians and nurses had a significantly different outlook at
communication, adverse events reporting and management support. Physicians reported fewer
errors than nurses.
CONCLUSION
Doctors rated safety culture less positively than nurses in some dimensions of patient safety
culture- feedback and communication about error, transition and handoffs, management
support for patient safety and teamwork across units. This result could indicate a need for more
intensive interventions in certain areas of patient safety culture and is certainly an area for future
research inquiry.
3.EFFECT OF MOTIVATION IN LEARNING SUCCESS : A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING ANALYSIS
Innovation 2017;11(4):52-56
BACKGROUND: Learning success is a success of study process. It reveals by how the individual effort, time management, task complement, self-development and self sdutying skills. The GPA is a measurable outcome of those skills above. A motivation is a behavior and psychological complex that affects the skills. Otherwise, it is a process that motivates person by the intrinsic or extrinsic effect to a particular goal. Every student has his own permanent study manners and learning skill. It depends directly by how he motivates himself. Such study is deficient, actually in medical students in Mongolia. Therefore, we aimed to study how motivation effects in medical students learning success.
METHODS: The present study is accomplished among 3-6 grade students who study by a general doctor in Mongolian National University of Medical Science by analytical study method and cross-sectional design. 536 students wer selected randomly. John Biggs’s R-SPQ-2F- Revised study process questionnaire 2 factor and Rein Cornel’s SRQ (Self regulationquistionnaire) and additional 5 questions are used. For the data analysis, IBM SPSS 21.0, SPSS AMOS soft wares are used to evaluate the descriptive and analytic statistics. Statistically significant differences between the groups were defined as p-values less than 0.05.
RESULTS: The total number of students in our research were 536, thereform 23.5% were male (126), 76.5% were female (410) students. Highly GPA students engrained their own study technique because the variable of DS (p<0.01) is positively dependent with the GPA. Whereas the slight motivation (SM) is negativele correlated (p<0.001) with the GPA, therefore the variable of SM is less dependent. The Relactive approach motivation (RAM) is direct, positively dependent between good study strategy (GSS) and grade point average (GPA). Also, the positive learning methods (GSS) both are positively dependent for learning-succession. Although, it is enamored that good study strategy (GSS) are highly indication compared to other variables. Otherwise, GSS is more effective for learning-succession than a grade point average (GPA). If the students can own the right learning skill themselves, they will increase the learning-succession.
CONCLUSION: Relative Autonomous Motivation is positively affects through good study strategy and learning success. Intrinsic motivation is more effective than other variables..

Background. Nowadays more attention is paid to the study of blood supply of the brain in during headache with various causes. Blood supply of the branch is supplied by 2 pairs of carotis and vertebral artery and 2/3 of it in the carotis and 1/3 of it by the vertebral artery. (Farekas et al., 1963) disease with various causes of the vertebral artery in the external part of the cranium or abnormal system have been studied from ancient un the external part of the cranium, lengthening, aplasia and hypoplasia, change of neck vertebra disk affect to dynamic change of back artery blood supply. By scholar maisel fold of vertebral artery is 40%. Stenoses-18%, hypoplasia-10% vertebral artery through c 3-c5 vertebra occurred 12-20%., abnormal system of vertebral artery and location occur more than carotis artery and it has more dependence on external part of the cranium. Study of disease of vertebral artery in the external part of the cranium by the method of angiography hasnt been done in our country. Aim of research work: We aimed at diagnosing disease of vertebral artery in the external part by the method of angiography and studying its form, case, age and sex dependence. Conclusion: 1. Change of vertebral artery revealed 62.3% 2. Fold of vertebral artery in the 6th level 42% in v2, 3 level -9% revealed. 3. Vertebral artery is congenitally narrow (aplasia, hypoplasia)12%., through v3-5, vertebra-13%. 4. 58% of the people with vertebral artery disease occupy females.

Background. In the process of infarction, important mechanism of blood supply deficiency is collateral blood supply. There are a lot of various collaterals which are able to supply in the period of necessity of human brain. Collateral which forms in the level of villas circle (ring) in the cranium is the most important front and back artery cord of brain form villas circle (ligament) as a result of these arteries possibility of forming collateral blood supply in the period of blood insufficiency in vertebral and carotis and between magisterial artery of 2 sides of brain opens. It is rare when the system of villas circle (ring) is complete (full), artery cord is narrow (hypoplasia, aplasia) or none, villas circle(ring) loses its complete and it becomes open on the front and at the back part. By the researchers study hypoplasia of artery cord occurs in 20-40% because it branches off from other artery. By Yu.M. Nixitins study vertebral artery of the brain branches off the form the artery into carotis and it open at back part-was 25%, study of system of villas circle (ring) by angiography hasnt been done. Aim. We aimed at the diagnosing villas circle system by angiographic method and studying its incompleteness, form cause, age and sex dependence. Materials and Methods. We studied material of 595 patients who were done angiography of the brain because of acute and chronic deficiency of blood supply of the brain in 2007-2008 at the third clinical hospital by P.N.Shastin in the cabinet of angiography came from clinic, district and Achtan Elit hospital. We clarified magisterial arteries and villas circles in the cranium by the standard method in 2 sides used polydiagnostic 2 digital subtraction equipment of Philips form of Japan. We evaluated artery system, location, form and size and studied age and sex dependence.75% of verographer solution not more than 80-100ml was injected into the artery. Conclusion: 1. Incompleteness of circle revealed in 31.7 % 2. Open case of villas circle in the front part was in 41.5 % 3. Open case of villas circle at the back revealed in 58.4% 4. Studying villas circle, evaluating collateral blood supply is necessary to blood supply deficiency in particular to define blood deficiency insult.

BACKGROUND. Head and neck cancers are related group of cancers that involve the oral cavity, pharynx (oropharynx, nasopharynx, hypopharynx), and larynx. Early-stage tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract can be cured; for late-stage disease, prognosis is poor. Nowadays microvascular free tissue transfer surgery performed at high level. Worldwide, this particular kind of operation in head and neck surgical field has become “golden standard” of treatment. Seemingly, plastic and reconstructive surgeons of developed countries widely perform forearm free flap, anteriolateral thigh free flap, fibula free flap, rectus abdominal free flap, latissimusdorsi free flap. We purpose to report our first 121 cases of Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer which had been performed at the head and neck surgical department, NCC of Mongolia.
METHODS. The clinical records of first 121 cases patients who had microvascular reconstruction done between 2011 and 2017 were reviewed. The indications for surgery, choice of flap, duration of surgery and flap survival were noted.
RESULTS. Our study were performed on 121 cases, among them 84.3% flaps were survived, most of defects occurred following cancer resection. Anterolateral thigh and radial forearm flaps were performed commonly for our reconstruction surgery.
CONCLUSION. 84.3% free flap recorded success rate indicates our early experiences. Although the National Medical University do not have postgraduate reconstructive and plastic surgical training, we believe that meticulous planning, careful vessel selection, close flap monitoring as well as improved infrastructural support can lead us to much better success rates of microvascular reconstruction in our country.

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to determine the surgical and visual outcomes of scleral
fixated intraocular lens implantation in eyes with as subluxated and dislocated crystalline lens or
traumatic aphakic eyes.
Methods:
A retrospective and short-term prospective cohort study was carried out in 45 eyes
of 43 individuals who underwent SFIOL implantation surgery in First Central Hospital of Mongolia
between January 2017 and January 2020 and had a minimum follow-up of 3 months. Pre-operative
and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, postoperative outcomes and complications
were summarized. Patients after the implantation of a scleral fixated PCIOL were evaluated for
the disease etiology, pre- and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, and occurrence of
postoperative complications.
Results:
The analysis included 45 eyes from 43 patients. Thirty-two (74.4%) patients were men and
eleven (24.6%) were women . The mean age at implantation was 57.2 ± 20.0. Indications for the
IOL implantation included ocular trauma (48.9%), pseudoexfoliation syndrome (22.2%) and Marfan
syndrome (15.6%). Disease etiology and age group were compared and results were Marfan
syndrome is mostly diagnosed in 20-29 years of age, ocular trauma is usually diagnosed in 30-69
years of age and pseudoexfoliation syndrome is occurred in 70 and above of age. Post-operative
visual acuity was improved in all cases from which 35 of patients (77.77%) visual outcome was 6/12
and above.
The mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.083 ± 0.088, which improved to
0.569 ± 0.221 (p<0.001) third month postoperatively and these were statistically significant.
The most frequent complication was induced astigmatism, which occurred in 6 eyes which
successfully corrected with glasses. Suture erosion occurred in three eyes which successfully
relocate it. The most serious complications such as vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment,
suprachoroidal hemorrhage, endophthalmitis and suture degradation or breakage was not seen.
Conclusion
Ab externo SFIOL implantation is a reasonable technique for the management of
eyes with aphakia or absence of capsular support, with relatively high visual outcomes and few
serious complications.
The most frequent cause of aphakia and absence of capsular support was ocular trauma thus,
pseudoexfoliation and Marfan syndrome were the most common in elderly and in young age,
respectively.

BACKGROUND. Acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a severe disease requiring intensive and emergency treatment. Surgical peripheral iridectomy and laser peripheral iridectomy procedures are performed to decrease papillary block and create an opening for the aqueous humor to pass through the eye. However, the intraocular pressure (IOP) cannot be consistently controlled by peripheral iridectomy. Phacoemulsification can widen the anterior chamber angle, position the ciliary processes in eyes with PAC posteriorly and inhibit the acute angle closure. This procedure can control the intraocular pressure sustainably for a long period. The higher incidence of the acute angle closure glaucoma in Mongolia compared to other countries was the rationale of this study.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. Medical records of 9 patients (9 eyes) with acute PACG, who had received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation as initial management for medically uncontrolled high IOP, were analyzed in a retrospective chart review. IOP, visual acuity, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and the number of anti-glaucoma medications used were evaluated.
RESULTS. The postoperative IOP was reduced in 9 eyes (100%). The mean preoperative IOP was 37.9 ± 13.0 mmHg, which decreased postoperatively to 11.0 ± 1.9 mmHg at day 1, 11.1 ± 2.1 mmHg at week 1, 11.1±2.0 mmHg at 2 weeks, 11.8 ± 1.9 mmHg at month 1, and 11.3 ± 1.4 mmHg at 3 months, which showed statistically significance (p < 0.001). The mean visual acuity improved from preoperative average of 0.04±0.03 to postoperative average of 0.17±0.24 at day 1, 0.45±0.26 at week 1, 0.54±0.31 at week 2, 0.56±0.34 at 1 month, and 0.57±0.33 (p = 0.001) at 3-months. There was functional success at month 3.
СONCLUSION. Our outcome indicates that primary phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation lowered IOP and improved visual acuity significantly in patients with acute PACG. This is a safe and effective method of IOP control and can be considered a first line treatment option in managing patients with acute PACG and coexisting cataract.

BACKGROUND: There are two general types of age-related macular degeneration: dry and wet. During wet or neovascular age-related macular degeneration new abnormal vessels grow and leak in the macula. As anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) was invented, it revolutionized the treatment of nAMD by inhibiting the progress of this disease. The incidence of AMD increases as life expectancy grows and there is a growing need to study this disease. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of anti-VEGF therapy for the treatment of nAMD and the incidence of ocular serious adverse events (SAE) after injections.. METHODS: In our retrospective, single-center study, medical records of patients receiving a single dose of anti-VEGF treatment (Bevacizumab) for nAMD between 17th of April, 2016 and October, 2017 were evaluated. Outcome measures were the change in the baseline visual acuity (VA) score at post-injective month one, incidence of ocular SAE and patients’ baseline characteristics affecting VA. Patients, whose treatment were started before April 2016 and had anti-VEGF treatment for the diseases other than nAMD, were excluded.. RESULTS: 15 eyes in 15 patients between 52 and 85 years of age received single dose of anti-VEGF (Bevacizumab/Avastin) injection. The mean baseline VA improved from pre-injective average of 0.21 to post-injective 1-month average of 0.37 by Snellen. Furthermore, there was no vision loss or other severe adverse effects, such as endophthalmitis, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, traumatic cataract after 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has promising short-term outcomes on treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
