INTRODUCTION:Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. According to the WHO report, over 14.1million new cases were registered every year. 6% of all cancers of Mongolian women were indicated asa breast cancer. This is the 2.5% of cancer cases of whole Mongolian population.GOAL:Identify observed 5 year survival rate and mean of survived time of patients with breast cancers inMongolian population, and some risk factors of survival.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The study design was retrospective and a total of 195 patients were selected which are registered bybreast cancer in National Cancer Registry of Mongolia, 2007-2008 years. Average of survival timecalculated by median and mean, observed 1, 3, 5 year survival rate calculated by percent. Data analyseswere performed using SPSS 19.0 software.RESULT:Totally 195 people involved in research, 5 year after diagnosed 59 (30.3%) people died from cancer, 136(69.7%) people was alive.Breast cancer patients observed 1, 3, 5 year survival rate was correlated to age group, level of education,stage of diagnosis and get involved cancer treatment.Breast (Wald (3) =26.30, P<0.0001) cancer patients survival was correlated to stage of diagnosis and getinvolved cancer treatment.CONCLUSION:1. Mean of survived time of patients with breast cancer was 50.4 months and observed 5 year survivalrate 69.7%.2. Breast cancer patient’s survival was correlated to age group and level of education.3. Breast cancer patient’s survival was correlated to stage of diagnosis and get involved cancertreatment.

Background:Kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since 2006. However there is currently no published data available on long-term graft and patient survival.Objective:Our aim was to assess the long-term graft and patient survival rate correlation with HLA-A-B-DR matching. Material and Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data from 70 adult kidney transplants performed at our hospital from August 2006 through January 2014. The data was retrospectively collected from patient fles, including characteristics of the recipient and donor, post transplant features and HLA-A-B-DR DNA based typing results. The KaplanMeier method was used to analyze graft and patient survival.Results:The mean patient follow-up period after kidney transplantation was 39,6±25.9 months, and the mean kidney graft follow-up period was 36.6±23.7 months for 70 cases. Overall graft and patient survivals were 52 (74.3%) and 60 (85.7%) respectively in 70 cases. Five-year graft and patient survivals were 23 (67.6%) and 29 (85.3%) respectively in 34 cases. The group with four to six mismatched were found to have a signifcantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (71%; 35%); (80%; 40%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.030; p=.015). Furthermore we analyzed the association of HLA matching, immunosuppressive therapy and long-term graft survival. We selected CNI mono-therapy group for long-term survival analysis and observed a similar pattern. In mono-therapy group, the group with four to six mismatched were found to have a significantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (75%; 30%); (65%; 30%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.037; p=.001).Conclusion:The results showed that graft and patient survival rates were lower compared with results from established centers. Statistically highly signifcant effect of HLA matching on kidney graft and patient survival rates was found in our analysis. Five years after transplantation the graft survival rate of frst adult kidney transplant with 4-6MM was 65-70% lower than that of grafts with 0-1MM. Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future to exhibit an improved transplantation outcome.

Background:However kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since 2006, because of pre-transplant ensitization, ABO incompatibility, hepatitis B and C virus activation many patients are taken kidney transplantation in abroad. The transplantation centers use own immunosuppressive regimens.Objective:Our aim was to assess the immunosuppressive regimens efficacy and toxicity in kidney transplant Mongolian recipients.Material and Methods:We analyzed data from 96 adult kidney transplant recipients who had taken kidney transplantation in different transplant centers from August 2006 through January 2014. There were 3 kinds of regimens Group I Simulect induction with standard triple /FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/, Group II Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy and Group III Campath-1H induction with standard triple /FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/. We retrospectively collected the post-transplant first two year serum creatinine. The study was performed in 2014. The questionnaire was taken and blood samples collected for determination of tacrolimus through level and for other laboratory tests. The primary end point was the first two years serum creatinine, the secondary end points included rejection episodes, blood through level of tacrolimus and some laboratory findings.Results:The post-transplant first two years serum creatinine levels were significantly different in 3 groups. Group III showed similar results compared to Group I. There was not enough data of biopsy proven acute rejection episodes however group II said more rejections occurred. However participants said that rejection occurred in 15 (15.6%) biopsy was done only 3 (3.1%) cases. Blood through level of tacrolimus was significantly different in three groups. Some laboratory findings showed different between three groups.Conclusion:A regimen of Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy (Group II) may be advantageous for short-term renal function and cost effective but there were more rejection complications and increased creatinine. The regimen of Campath-1H induction with standard triple (Group III) may be advantageous for long-term renal function, allograft survival, but there should consider about infection complications and polycythemia. Simulect induction with standard triple could be best choice but transplantations were performed in experienced centers. The study enrolled few cases and cases which were performed at the beginning of transplant program so many things could influence on the result. The study was compared beginner transplant center with experienced centers. Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future.

Introduction: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) revolutionizedthe treatment of urolithiasis and graduallybecame the favorite treatment option sothat today it is considered to be the first lineof treatment for patients with urolithiasis.The purpose of this study was assessment oftherapeutic efficacy, complications of ESWLin urolithiasis in Mongolia.Material and methods: A total of46 patients harboring renal and ureteralstones underwent ESWL between March2016 and September 2016 at First CentralHospital of Mongolia. Karl Storz ModulithSLK electromagnetic machines were usedto impart shock waves. All collected stonefragments sent for biochemical analysis.Results: A total of 46 patients 23 weremales (50%). Patients were mean age of34. The stone size distribution was 0.5cmto 3.1cm. The average treatment time wasranging from 75-110 minutes. The averagenumber of shock waves per treatmentwas 3172±378 (range 1500-4000). Theoverall success rate was 75.73%. All calculidisintegrated satisfactorily except for 3stones, which is located lower 1/3rd ofureter. Stone composition analysis proved tobe composed entirely or predominantly ofcalcium oxalate monohydrate. These patientsrequired to have ureterolithoextraction. Calculicomposition for remaining patients 12 werecalcium oxalate monohydrate, 17 calciumoxalate dehydrate, 6 uric acid and 1 struvite.Complications were mostly minor and rare.Most of the patients (90.7%) developedmacroscopic hematuria after treatment; fewpatients developed mild bruising at the entryand exit sites of the shockwaves on the bodywall. Severe complications such as renalhematoma and steinstrasse were diagnosedfor one patient each and their managementwas non-surgical.Conclusion: ESWL is therefore the firstline treatment for urolithiasis with stonesize smaller than 2cm. It has an efficiencyrate above 75, low procedure time, highsafety and good tolerability and minimalcomplication.

Purpose: Follow-up examinations in kidney donors is an essential yet necessary process in organ transplantation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate kidney function using biomarkers and biomarker based eGFR in kidney donors within 5 years of organ transplantation. Materials and method: 91 donors enrolled in our study. We measured body weight and blood and urine samples for laboratory tests. eGFR was calculated using 6 estimations. Result: The mean serum creatinine in participants was 0.81±0.22 mg/dL, cystatin C was 1.11±0.19 mg/dL, urea was 31.44±8.02 mg/L. Systolic hypertension in subjects was 130.0±16.5 mmHg while diastolic hypertension was 78.4±10.8 mmHg. In all donors, 15.9% (n=14) had hematuria, 23.6% (n=21) had proteinuria, 24.7% (n=19) had albuminuria. Body weight, creatinine, cystatin C and urea measurements had gradually increased over the years. The average eGFR was 72.9±17.9 to 112.8±34.0 ml/min/1.73m² showing 0.15%-35.22% before donation. Follow – up rate was 28.3-59.2% of total donors.Having health insurance and living far from Ulaanbaatar city influenced follow – up rate. Donor registration data should be updated regularly. Conclusion
1. Serum creatinine, cystatin C, urea was increasing in living kidney donors. Hypertension and microalbuminuria was greater than other donor study results.
2. eGFR decreased 0.15-35.22% in donor. CKD EPI combined equation was best for donor.
3. Health insurance and living far from Ulaanbaatar city were the influencing follow – up rate. Registration data is missing in 25.5%-82.4% of total donors suggesting enhancement in data collection.

Introduction: Health care workers of First Central Hospital of Mongolia have vaccinated with three different vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. We detected SARS-CoV-2 N and S-RBD antibodies after 30-90 days of second dose of vaccination. Method: Quantitation of antibodies to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 was performed for the detection of adaptive immune response in 291 HCWs vaccinated with Covishield, Sinopharm and Pfizer Biontech. Detection and quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 N and S antibodies were performed by the electrochemiluminesce assay Cobas e411, Roche. Result: SARS-CoV-2-S-RBD IgG titer were negative 0%, weak positive 0.4%, positive 17.5%, strong positive 82.1% of 246 HCWs vaccinated with Covishield and were negative 2.8%, weak positive 8.5%, positive 57.1%, strong positive 31.4% of 35 HCWs vaccinated with Sinopharm.
In all HCWs vaccinated with Pfizer Biontech SARS-CoV-2-S-RBD IgG titers were strong positive. Conclusion Humoral immunity was produced in HCWs after two doses of Covishield vaccine 100%, Sinopharm 97.0%, Pfizer Biontech 100% respectively. Antibody titer was higher among younger age workers.

Objective: Our aim was to assess the long-term graft and patient survival rate correlation with HLA-A-B-DR matching. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 70 adult kidney transplants performed at our hospital from August 2006 through January 2014. The data was retrospectively collected from patient files, including characteristics of the recipient and donor, post transplant features and HLA-A-B-DR DNA based typing results. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze graft and patient survival. Results: The mean patient follow-up period after kidney transplantation was 39,6±25.9 months, and the mean kidney graft follow-up period was 36.6±23.7 months for 70 cases. Overall graft and patient survivals were 52 (74.3%) and 60 (85.7%) respectively in 70 cases. Five-year graft and patient survivals were 23 (67.6%) and 29 (85.3%) respectively in 34 cases. The group with four to six mismatched were found to have a significantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (71%; 35%); (80%; 40%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.030; p=.015). Furthermore we analyzed the association of HLA matching, immunosuppressive therapy and long-term graft survival. We selected CNI mono-therapy group for long-term survival analysis and observed a similar pattern. In mono-therapy group, the group with four to six mismatched were found to have a significantly lower 3 and 5-year graft and patient survival (75%; 30%); (65%; 30%) compared to 0 to 1 mismatched group (100%) (p=.037; p=.001). Conclusion The results showed that graft and patient survival rates were lower compared with results from established centers. Statistically highly significant effect of HLA matching on kidney graft and patient survival rates was found in our analysis. Five years after transplantation the graft survival rate of first adult kidney transplant with 4-6MM was 65-70% lower than that of grafts with 0-1MM. Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future to exhibit an improved transplantation outcome.

Background: De-novo donor and non-donor specific antibodies could be detrimental to the kidney allograft. Kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since 2006. However there is currently no published data available on post-transplant de-novo antibodies and long-term graft survival. Our aim was to determine immunosuppressive drug through level, its combination, de-novo HLA antibodies and its influence on graft survival in different immunosuppressive protocols. Methods: We analyzed data from 56 adult first kidney transplant recipients at our hospital from August 2006 to May 2013. We determined the level of tacrolimus, cyclosporine A, and the presence of pre and post-transplant anti-HLA antibodies. Results: Post-transplant follow up period was 1-8 years. Mean recipient age on transplantation was 33.9±9.1 years. Male 45 (80.4%). Cadaver donor kidney was 5 (8.9%). Mean donor age on transplantation was 39.98±11.13 years. Rejection occurrence was 12(21.4%). Tacrolimus and cyclosporine A through levels were 3-12.8ng/ml and 65- 324ng/ml respectively. Anti-HLA class I antibodies were detected in 17.9% of pretransplantation (n=10) and in 23.2% of post-transplantation (n=13) cases respectively (p=0.607). On the other hand, anti-HLA class II antibodies were detected in 5.4% of pretransplantation (n=3) and in 33.9% of post-transplantation (n=19) cases (p=0,001). We determined anti-HLA class II antibody specificity. Anti-DQ, DR, DP antibodies were 25% ( n=14), 14.3% ( n=8) and 7.1% ( n=4) respectively on all 56 cases. Two (3.6%) patients’ samples were positive on three loci of HLA class II. Six patient samples (10.7%) were positive on two loci. Nine (64.3%) of anti-DQ positive patients have rejected their grafts and begun hemodialysis treatment. All 9 graft rejected recipients were anti-HLA DQ positive and had taken cyclosporine mono-therapy for the first year after transplantation. Conclusion The presence of de-novo anti-HLA class II antibodies, especially de-novo anti-DQ were significantly increased on cyclosporine mono-therapy group following transplantation and negatively affected kidney graft survival. The blood through level of cyclosporine was very variable. The graft survival was better in standard triple regimen. Therefore, it is essential to monitor immunosuppressive drug combinations with drug blood level and anti-DSA antibodies as well as to manage antibody removal therapies such as therapeutic plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin and Rituximab therapy on time. HLA –DQ-DP antigen determination is important for the kidney transplantation.
