Background: Since life style of the nation has changed, the prevalence of T2DM has steadily increased. According to T2DM related studies, estimated number of people with diabetes is 80.000 in Mongolia. Despite this, total number of diabetic patients registered in Mongolia is only 7000. Thus, approximately 90% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed and untreated.Objective: to assess anthropometric and laboratory parameters of newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.Materials and Methods: It was cross sectional study included 133 patients with type 2 diabetes newly diagnosed at the district hospital of Ulaanbaatar. We measured height, weight and waist circumference and analyzed body fat by bio-impedance analyzer machine. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C were determined by methods of laboratory in venous plasma. We defined as subjects with metabolic syndrome used the IDF new definition of 2009.Results: 44.4% of all participants were male and 55.6% were female and mean age of all participants was 49.1±8.5. According to BMI 85.7% of patients was obese and overweight and 84.2% of patients identified central obesity by measuring waist circumference. In analyzing of body composition, 100% of all patients determined high body fat. 27.1% of men and 36.4% of women diagnosed arterial hypertension. According to HbA1c (%) level the 94% of patients determined 7.5 and above. The hypertriglyceridemia was 59.4%, hyper LDL-C was 76.7% and hypo HDL-C was 12% and increased LDL: HDL ratio was 8.1%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the newly diagnosed patients with T2DM was 69.6%, male 66.1% and female 72.9%. Conclusion: Obese is major risk factor for T2DM in Mongolia. The study shows that assessing body fat is major identifying method of obese (p<0.03) and statistically significant association of high body fat mass with WC in diabetic patients (p<0.05). The prevalence of several risk factors of DM complications among newly diagnosed patients with T2DM is higher.

Introduction: Due to cervical spondylosispatients with cervical stenosis who hadhyperextension trauma developed spinalcord stress and contusions, tetraplegia anddisability and mortality. Cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension traumatreatment management still not clearedout throughout the world and very fewresearch has been done in our country.We have been introduced our surgical andrehabilitation comparison research study ofcervical spondylosis trauma in 2015. Our goalis to develop treatment management forthe hyperextension trauma in patients withcervical spondylosis.1. To compare surgical treatmentresults between patients who hadhyperextension injury to the cervical spinewhich were treated at the Departmentof Spinal Surgery of the National Traumaand Orthopaedic Research Center ofMongolia.2. To study biomechanical effects after thesurgeryMaterial and methods: 42 cervicalspondylosis patients with hyperextensioninjury have been chosen retrospectively toevaluate the surgical, conservative, andrehabilitative treatments and results wereanalyzed by SPSS, EXCEL program who weretreated at the Department of Spinal Surgeryof the National Trauma and OrthopaedicResearch Center of Mongolia from 2012-September 2016. Over 20% canal stenosiscases were chosen for laminectomy andanterior discectomy and fusion surgeriesalong with conservative and rehabilitationtreatment. Up to 20% canal stenosis 10cases which is 23.8% of all patients weretreated by conservative treatment.Results: From 42 patients there was 10females and 32 males. Average ages were56±7.9. By the cause of injury 62% werecar accident, 23% motorcycle accident, 10%fall from horse riding and 5% were otherfalls respectively. All patients had neurologicdeficits according to the level of spinal cordinjury. 36 (85.7%) patients had C4-C5 andC5-C6 level injury and 15 (35.7) patients wererecovered from spinal shock after high dosesteroid treatment. According to the X-RAYall patients had cervical spondylosis signand 4 (9.5%) of them had facet fractureswith stable spine condition. After CT scanspinal cord injury located at C3-C4, C4-C5and C5-C6 levels and patients developedfacet arthrosis, ossification of ligaments andintervertebral discs. Clinical signs and CT scans were evaluated and 4 cervical spondylosispatients with hyperextension injury hadlaminectomy and 2 patient had anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries. Canalstenosis is decompressed after laminectomysurgery and cervical lordosis is reduced by 7degrees but after anterior discectomy andfusion surgery cervical lordosis is reducedby 3 degrees. Neurological deficit increasinglaminectomy cases had C5 palsy becauseof cord shift (2.4-4mm) which resulted bydenticulate ligament tethering.Conclusion: There were no significantstatistical (P≤.05) differences betweensurgical and rehabilitation treatmentsin cervical spondylosis patients withhyperextension injury who’s canal stenosiswere below 20% [1,2,3,4,5].In our practice itis essential to make laminectomy and anteriordiscectomy and fusion surgeries in 72 hoursafter trauma to help the patient recoverfrom the spinal shock and reabsorption ofcord contusion. For one or two level canalstenosis especially with the OPLL, artificialdisc replacement and ADF surgeries showedbetter results. In multiple level canal stenosiswith OLF and OPLL cases laminectomyand laminoplasty are choice for surgery. Incomparison to foreign study/ Biomechanicalinvestigation of spinal cord injury and diseasein cervical spine Batbayar.K Seoul.2016[2]/ our surgical treatment showed similarresults. Among cervical spondylosis patientswith hyperextension trauma cases whotreated in Spine Department of NationalTrauma and Orthopaedic Hospital, mortalityand disability is increasing and it is essentialto follow correct diagnostic and treatmentalgorithms.
