The increasing proportions of aged persons have been accompanied in the world. NCDs are often associated with older age groups. High blood glucose levels and unhealthy diet increase the risk of or cause most NCDs. In this study we aimed to determine correlation between the older people (60<) blood glucose level and food consumption. 1563 healthy elder people participated in this research. We measured blood glucose level in all subjects at the Nursing school’s Training and Research Center of health science university of Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar city, Orkhon aimag, Khovd aimag, Khentii aimag, Bulgan aimag, Dornogovi aimag, Tov aimags represented urban areas, while the rest of aimags and soums represented rural areas. The questionnaire was used to collect data on respondent’s social-economic status, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, and their causes. In order to assess the diet pattern of the surveyed population, the respondents were asked about frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption, type of oil used in food, and amount of salt consumed daily. Simple regression analysis was performed to shown that significantly positive correlations between blood glucose and salt intake (р<0.001), The other composition are no significantly changes.

Determine the pituitary thyroid gland axis function abnormalities and relate it with serum lipid level.We enrolled 313 elderly people from UB and Orkhon aimag. Serum total TSH, T3, T4 hormones, low –density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and triglyceride level were defined by ELISA and fully automatic analyzer. All analyses were conducted with the use of SPSS 19.0, MS Excel 2007 program in which mean variables, One way Anova test and bivariate correlations are included.A total of 313 elder subjects, male 29.4%, female 70.6% and mean age was 71.8±9.8. Pituitary thyroid hormone abnormalities were detected mostly in females (p=0.027), thyroid hormone decrease was noticed in 70-79 age. In all groups serum triglyceride level as in normal range but it was significantly high (p=0.027) in hypothyroid group. Triglyceride level was negatively correlated with total T4 (p<0.01), positively correlated with T3 (p<0.01).Thyroid hormone decrease increases serum lipid especially triglyceride level. Furthermore it increases atherosclerosis risk factor to elderly people thus affects the quality of life.

As the proportion of aged population has been increasing worldwide by the rapid development of socio-economy, health science, and educational level that affect the policy against health service and social welfare, one of the urgent issues of Mongolian society and medical science facing is to develop healthy aging process and prevention of pathological aging. As we know, healthy aging process depends upon several factors such as heritage, biological and physiological internal factors, living condition, climate, geography, socio-economy, nutrition, drinking water, lifestyle etc,. Thus, the development of healthy aging and its influential factors is an immediate issue of Mongolian medicine and society.A cross-sectional regression analysis has been used to measure socioeconomic and physiological factors for longevity. Total of 1897 participants aged less than 80 are randomly collected from Ulaanbaatar city and Mongolian 4 regions.Total of 1897 participants, less than 80 years old are involved in this study. People in an urban area are higher than those in countryside. About housing condition, 63.5% of total participants are in apartment at UB and 37.8% is in House and 44.3% in Mongolian Ger. Estimating participant’s income, 25% of relatively healthy population is below than the minimum of subsistence. However 50% of elderly people aged between 75-80 is below than minimum of subsistence. Comparing income level by age and gender income is decreased while age is increased, males are relatively higher than females. Middle income people are by 20.9%, high income people are by 57.7% less the risky than low income people. Unhealthy status is increased by 1.0% while a year of smoking, LDL by 96.5%, HDL by 94.7%, Triglycerid by 71.2%, CAVI by 91% increase risks respectively.Below indicators are more influential for the healthy aging of Mongolian elderly people as follows, education level (ρ-0.001), household income (OR=0.423, ρ<0.0001), living conditions (OR=0.326, ρ<0.05), LDL (OR=0.035, ρ<0.0001), HDL (OR=0.053, ρ<0.0001), glucose (OR=0.014, ρ<0.0001), CAVI (OR=0.090, ρ<0.0001). Higher density of healthy aged populations is found in the central region of Mongolia where altitude is 1000-1500 meters above than sea level (MASL) and temperature is between 0-6 Celsius.

Background:
Reconstruction of mandibular and maxillary defects resulting
from malignant tumors has remained a complex challenge in recent years. Defects
caused by tumors—as well as trauma, inflammatory diseases, and congenital
anomalies—lead to impaired essential functions such as mastication,
swallowing, and speech. Prior to the 1950s, reconstruction of maxillofacial
hard tissue was not commonly performed. Instead, metal plates were used to
reestablish bony continuity, and surrounding tissues were utilized to close soft
tissue defects, without effectively restoring function.
With modern advances in three-dimensional (3D) virtual planning, it is now possible
to accurately plan free bone flaps for reconstructing jaw defects. During
surgery, manually bending reconstruction plates to fit donor bone precisely is
often not feasible. Preoperative 3D planning allows for precise fabrication of
surgical guides and fixation plates, improving accuracy and significantly reducing
operative time. Additionally, incorporating dental implant planning into
the reconstruction process facilitates restoration of both structural and functional
outcomes.
Aim:
To evaluate the outcomes of mandibular defect reconstruction using
scapular free flaps in Mongolia and explore potential approaches to optimize
the technique.
Materials and Methods:
This was a case study series. Data from reconstructive
surgeries performed at the National Cancer Center of Mongolia, Central
Dental Hospital, and the Mongolia-Japan Hospital were collected. Variables
included patient age and sex, etiology of the mandibular defect, size of the
scapular bone segment, operative time, ischemia time of the free flap, number
of vascular anastomoses performed, and pedicle length.
For 3D planning, CT scans of the patient's head and lower limb (slice thickness
<1 cm) were used to generate 3D models via the 3D Slicer software. Cutting
guides for the mandible and scapula (ASIGA), as well as the reconstruction
models (AMS), were printed using a 3D printer.
Results:
A total of 400 free flap reconstructions were performed during the
study period. Of these, 29 cases involved reconstruction of mandibular defects
using scapular free flaps. The mean age of patients was 40.0 ± 18.3 years,
with 52% (15 patients) being female. The etiologies of the defects included
malignant tumors (13 cases, 45%), benign tumors (6 cases, 21%), and pre-existing
defects (10 cases, 34%).
In one case, tumor resection and mandibular reconstruction were performed
using 3D planning. The total operative time was 9 hours and 30 minutes, and
the ischemia time was 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Conclusion
Between 2012 and 2025, a total of 29 mandibular reconstructions
using scapular free flaps were performed in Mongolia. Traditional reconstruction
methods were associated with prolonged ischemia time. The use of
3D surgical planning has shown potential in significantly reducing ischemia
time and improving surgical outcomes.
