1.A study about Jigmeddanzanjamts’s (The Brave King) biography and books composed by him
Mongolian Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2018;12(1):42-44
Introduction:
Jigmeddanzanjamts was a person who was born in the east Sonod Land of Shiliin Gol province
in Inner Mongolia (presently the East Sonod Khoshuu of Inner Mongolian Autonomy in People’s
Republic of China). He has lived at the end of 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century.
At his childhood age, he has stayed in the Jari Temple (also called the Great Generous Temple)
and studied Tibetan language. He was talented in learning Tibetan language. He also deeply
studied Buddhist philosophical teachings in The Philosophical lineage temple and obtained Geshe
rank which is a kind of scientific scholar’s title. He was renowned by his Temple name as “Jari
Geshe”.
Besides, this achievement, he was a Tulku and worked as abbot of a temple. It was mentioned
at the end of his book called “Joys of Realizers” that “This book was composed by the Tulku
Jigmeddanzanjamts the Brave-Hearted King”.
Materials and methods:
He divided his book into 5 sections and in the first section he provided a detailed description
about the urine analysis and diagnostics by sensing pulse of a patient. In the second section,
he summarized only the capability of 348 types of medicines. In the third section, he classified
various diseases into 80 categories and determined specific methods for curing each disease
such as internal disease, bacteria, diseases of the womb and internal organs such as liver, kidney,
lung, heart and spleen, skin disease, gynecopathy, childhood disease, other injuries. In the fourth
section, he wrote about how to reduce power of 22 types of medicines, and how to substitute
32 types of medicines. In the fifth section, he provided a detailed information about 316 types of
prescriptions, and doses of medicine shall be included in each prescription, method for blending
those prescriptions.
Results:
He also included the prescription of medicines used in Chinese hospitals in his book.
For example, he mentioned that “Kindly find the Lin or Dan prescription from Chinese hospitals”
in his book. The book called “Joys of Realizers” can be considered as a distinguished book from
another book by its content and meaning side. In fact, in greatly depends from the author’s wider
way of thinking, his enormous practical experience and knowledge.
Сonclusion
From this book, it is obviously observable that he always treated each disease,
from the point of seeing in a complex rather than seeing only the disease. Especially, the list,
which listed organs of a human body as brain, eye, ear, nose, etc. from top to down part have not
observed in other books published in the preceding period. Therefore, it can be considered that
the book has some new categories that has not introduced before in books have been composed
and published before.

Background:
Establishment of quantitative reference intervals of white blood cells and its subpopulations using
a high accuracy analytic system is essential for clinical medicine, public health, and anthropology.
We are unable to identify peer-reviewed literature sources describing white blood cell counts and
their subpopulations using monoclonal antibodies to specific surface antigens in healthy Mongolians.
This study aimed to measure the counts of white blood cells and their subpopulations in healthy
Mongolians using flowcytometry.
Materials and Methods:
The absolute number (cell/L) of leukocytes (CD45+), granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes were
measured by Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting Assay (MACSQuant Analyzer 10) in 287 blood donors
(158 males and 129 females) 17-64 years of age (mean age 33.1±12.4). Peripheral blood samples
were collected at the time of blood donation at the National Center for Transfusion Medicine.
Results
The mean values of leukocytes and granulocytes were lower in donors over 30 years of age (ANOVA:
F=4.408, p=0.002 and F=5.685, p=0.001) and regression analysis demonstrated indirect correlation
between counts of these cells and age of donors (r= - 0.198, p=0.001 and r=-0.221, p=0.001,
respectively). Gender-related differences in white blood cell counts were not found.
Mean value of lymphocyte count in donors investigated in spring (May and March, n = 87; 2224.6±775.3) was significantly higher than those in winter (December – February, n=180; 1613.2±454.3, p=0.001) and autumn (October, n=20; 1576.1±438.6, p= 0.001).
Comparing of our findings with the data from available literature shown that healthy Mongolians
have lower leukocyte count compared with Koreans, Chinese Han population and lower mean value
of lymphocyte count comparing with Korean, Chinese Han population, and Arabian (Saudi Arabia)
populations.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;88(4):47-51
Background:
The first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Mongolia was reported on November 11, 2020. In response, the
government imposed a nationwide lockdown, which significantly impacted the population’s mental health. Heightened
levels of stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression during the pandemic altered individuals’ psychological stability and
behavior. Personality traits—defined as relatively stable patterns of emotion, cognition, and behavior—play a key role in
stress responses and emotional regulation under pressure. Emerging evidence suggests that these psychological factors
may influence the immune system’s responsiveness, including vaccine-induced antibody production.
Aim:
To evaluate the association between post-vaccination antibody responses and personality types following two doses
of COVID-19 vaccines.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 738 participants who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines (AstraZeneca
ChAdOx1, n=29; Pfizer-BioNTech, n=119; Sinopharm BBIBP, n=590) and had no prior SARS-CoV-2 infection were enrolled. Serum samples were collected 21–28 days after the second dose, and SARS-CoV-2 RBD (S) IgG antibodies
were measured using ELISA (Proteintech Inc., USA). Personality types were assessed using a 56-item temperament
questionnaire developed by A. Belov, categorizing individuals into classical temperament types (choleric, phlegmatic,
sanguine, melancholic). Logistic regression and ROC analysis were used to examine associations between personality
types and antibody response.
Results:
The presence of an antibody response was significantly higher among individuals with a melancholic temperament, and significantly lower among those with a phlegmatic temperament. Furthermore, antibody titers were higher in
participants with melancholic and sanguine temperaments and lower in those with a phlegmatic type.
Conclusions
1. During the early period following the second dose of COVID-19 vaccination, the antibody response was higher
in individuals with a pure melancholic temperament, while it was lower in those with a phlegmatic temperament.
2. After the second dose of the Sinopharm BBIBP COVID-19 vaccine, antibody titers were higher in individuals with
pure melancholic and sanguine temperaments, and lower in those with a phlegmatic temperament.
