Mongolian Medical Sciences 2014;168(2):49-52
BACKGROUND:
One of the confronted problems of health branch of Mongolia is to confirm pregnancy and delivery
to health of mother and baby and to decrease early neonatal mortality and stillbirth. Rate of perinatal
mortality becomes real index of health and quality of health care. In the world more than 6 million
perinatal mortality and 2.6 million stillbirths occur in 1000 birth every year. In Mongolia last year’s
birth increases and perinatal mortality hasn’t been decreased yet. By 2013 perinatal mortality of
country and aimag 14.4 per 1000 birth, in eastern and khangai and central regions and Ulaanbaatar
(UB) city it is fewer than the above mentioned average, but the western region it is 17.5 or 3.1 î/îî
higher than average rate.
GOAL:
To study current situation of perinatal mortality in western region of Mongolia
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
On the base of statistical dates of perinatal mortality of Health indicators and dates of health
authorities of western region of Mongolia in 2004-2013 we considered indications of stillbirth from
22 weeks of gestation and early neonatal mortality by trend criteria.
RESULTS:
In the period of last 10 years in the western region of Mongolia totally 94810 mothers gave a birth,
perinatal mortality is 2347 or 24.7 per 1000 birth. 57.7% of total perinatal mortality is stillbirth and
42.3% is early neonatal mortality. Among 5 aimags of region in Bayn-Ulgii stillbirth is the highest
(77.2%), in Gobi-Altai aimag early neonatal mortality is the highest (70.3%). Dates show that
perinatal mortality rate is different among western region’s aimags. Trends of Mongolian western
region’s perinatal mortality rate till 2016 years will increase in Zavkhan aimag by 8.6, and in Khovd
aimag by 0.9; and in other aimags will decrease.
CONCLUSION:
Although perinatal mortality decreases in western region of Mongolia, it is always higher than average
rate of country. Therefore it is necessary to improve quality of antenatal and prenatal care. By doing
this trend of increasing and decreasing will become stable and further it will be decreased.

Introduction: The researchers have identified that shift work of nurses can have a direct impact on health, well-being, performance, and organizational outcomes. In countries with self sustainable and highly developed nursing science it was established that shift duration of hospital nurses lasts for 8 hours, (Gordon, Cleary, Parker, & Czeisler, 1986; Labyak, 2002; Lee, 1992). Thus, it was recognized having importance that day and night shift nurses would have health issues depending on the shift work schedule and it seemed inevitable to perform studies on schedule work performance. Goal: The purpose of the study is to identify impacts on the health of night shift nurses, and identification of strengths and weaknesses of night shift work of nursesObjectives:1. To identify the initiative and work load of shift nurses,2. To identify the impact of shift work to health of shift nurses,3. To identify the strength and weaknesses of shift workMaterials and Methods: The research was performed on the basis of using Questionnaire, Focus group discussion and Checklists. Comparative research was done on the basis of P criteria; P if < Î.05 then it was estimated that possibility is correct. The research was performed through using software such as EXCEL 2007, SPSS.Results: The results of the research and studies are revealed that 28.3% of participants complained about fatigue, 22.5% of participants complained about having sleep disorder, 16.7 % of participants complained about having headaches, while according to the japans studies 21% of participants complained about fatigue, 29% of participants complained about having sleep disorder, 16% of participants complained about having backaches. Conclusions:1. The active conscience of shift nurses were studied and it was concluded that night shift nurses are less active (40%), and experiencing fatigue (53.3%) than day shift nurses. Also, it was observed that 53.3% of participants experienced heavy work load at day shift, while 41.7% of participants in the study experienced high load of work during night shift.2. The studies revealed that 73.35 of night shift nurses are experiencing fatigue, aches, have sleep disorder, headaches, foot aches, and stomachaches. Performing statistical comparison it was revealed that fatigue, aches, have sleep disorder had statistical probability at p< 0.05.3. The strength of night shift is in higher pay rate, which is higher than regular salary rate answered 75 % of participants, day off is longer answered 62.5 % of participants, while 69.2 % of participants answered that are experiencing general fatigue and 56.2 % of participants are having digestion problems.

JUSTIFICATION:
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 6.6 million children under the age of five died in
2012 - more than 750 every hour. Most of these children could survive and thrive with access to simple,
affordable interventions. The loss of a child is a tragedy - families suffer and human potential is wasted.
WHO is improving child health by helping countries deliver integrated, effective care in a continuum,
starting with a healthy pregnancy for the mother, through birth and care up to five years of age. Investing
in health systems is important to delivering this essential care [1, 2].
GOAL:
To study perinatal mortality, this is the most important reason of infant mortality in Mongolia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted reviewing data from 2007-2011 using the ICD code P00-P96
[4] listing “certain conditions originating in the perinatal period”. Data was analyzed using Epi-Info 2000
and GIS software.
RESULTS:
Data from 2007-2011 showed that 3091 neonates died from conditions originating in the perinatal period
and of these 58.7% (1814) were males. Furthermore, the results of this study showed that the leading
causes of death were “respiratory and cardiovascular disorders during the perinatal period” (ICD code
P20-P29). More specifically, the causes were:
- Birth asphyxia (P21)
- Respiratory distress of newborn (P22)
- Congenital pneumonia (P23)
CONCLUSION:
National average deaths per 1,000 live births in Mongolia are 9.5—with the highest rates reported in
Dornogovi, Uvurkhangai, Bayankhongor, Gobi Altai, Uvs, Zavkhan and Khovsgol.

IntroductionDigestive system diseases are accounted in 4th place of the causes of mortality that are might caused by Mongolian climates and the features of food nutrition. It is a very important to obtain the natural herbal drug which has less side effect, use in medical practice for an appropriated disorder. Therefore we are put an aim of obtain a new drug from Sanguissorba officinalis L. for the treatment of diarrhea. This herbal plant grows in botanical and geographical provinces such as Khangai, Khentii, Khuvsgul, Mongol Daguur and widely distributed in Mongolia. Sanguissorba officinalis L. containes tannin substance up to 20%. Rhizome, herbs, flowers of Sanguissorba officinalis L. are widely used for the Mongolian, Tibetan, Russian, German, Korean, Poland, Hungarian traditional medicine to treat diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders and haemostatic. This study and research work was done by Pharmaceutical Technology and Management Department of School of Pharmacy, HSUM.GoalThe aim of the study is to solve the problem of technology to obtain a tablet formulation from Sanguissorba officinalis L.Materials and MethodsWe collected and dried the flowers of Sanguissorba officinalis L. in Kherlen soum, Dornod province on August of 2010, 2011 and 2012. Choice of the optimal extragent, suitable extraction method was defined by I.A.Muraviev, U.G. Pshukov methods. The fraction of granules were determined using the method by Kozein, the bulk density of granules was determined method by Lusy Wan Cheng, to obtain tablets used by wet granulation method, to establish quality criteria of liquid extract and tablets by Mongolian National First Pharmacopeia, and the statistic analyses were done by SPSS-17 programme, using t-criteria of Student Fischer.ResultWe had extracted liquid extract from flowers of Sanguissorba officinalis L. and it has been extracted by repercolation method German pharmacopeia modification. The technological parameters of liquid extract are the main important index to calculate the extragent correctly, to establish the material balance exactly, to extract the process efficiently, to develop technological regimentation and to base account of economical benefit. We determined the technological parameters as the optimal extragent is 40% ethanol; the effective extracting method is repercolation method German Pharmacopeia modification. For the development of tablets by wet granulation method from liquid extract using various binders and choose the optimal bender was mix starch and methylcellulose past. Tablets from Sanguissorba officinalis L. was standardized by such criteria, as the amount of biologically active compound, appearance, hardness, friability, average weight, weight variation, disintegration, dissolution, amount of heavy metals and microbiological contamination by Mongolian National First Pharmacopeia.ConclusionThe result of the study was done the technological parameters of liquid extract of Sanguissorba officinalis L. such as the optimal extragent, the effective extracting method. As the result of determining these parameters, it has much practical significance for establishing the technological condition to extract the biological active compounds completely from flowers of Sanguissorba officinalis L. In the result of the study to obtain tablets from fluid extract of Sanguissorba officinalis L. has been developed and the quality criteria has been defined.

Neonatal mortality is declining in our FIRST MATERNAL HOSPITAL last few years but the number of preterm babies are increasing. Globally, the main causes of neonatal deaths are preterm birth complications (35 per cent), intrapartum-related complications (complications during labor and delivery) (24 per cent), and sepsis (15 per cent). Together, these three causes account for almost three quarters of all neonatal deaths.We have analyzed 51 medical records who have died in neonatal intensive care unit of Urgoo maternal hospital. 23 questionnaries were analyzed.Premature infant deaths basis of the mother’s birth disorders and mother abnormality. Furthermore, abruption placenta 25.1%, caesarian section 57.1%, hypertonus–21.4%.Prevention of fetal lung under development treatment did not affect 67.8% mortality. Chronic hypoxia is 46.4%, not a day mortality 25.4%, treating was 1–3 days mortality rate is 57.1% is the ability to live shows children die. Compared treated for complications premature infant mortality is 14.2%, causes premature infant mortality is ischemia of brain.Based on the study of maternal hospital mortality in the treatment of premature infants most important thing is CPAP machine it is premature to reduce infant mortality 30.7per cent. Is necessary to use with respiratory distress syndrome infant most important thing is surfactant treatment.

Introduction: In order to Implement the Mongolian government's 2000 provisions for national health care, on May 28,2004, the Health Minister approved the "Home Care Nursing Service and Rules for Caring and Nursing" according to resolution # 136 and indicated that family clinic nurses should provide home care nursing services [6'71. Interestingly, it is noted that throughout the world, nursing home services have not been limited to family clinic nurses but are being delivered by nurses with diverse areas of specialization.Goal: Purpose of the study is to determine needs for making home nursing services to the population in some province and soum.Objectives:1. To comparatively search needs for providing home nursing services to citizens in the province and soum which were involved to the study.2. To determine nursing type which is required at home3. To develop needs of nurses who make home nursing servicesMaterials and Methods: Conducted studies among the 1109 people from the 520 families in 17 soums of five provinces such as Orkhon, Bulgan, Arkhangai, Khuvsgul and Selenge. We have chosen the clients with anamnesis who are repeatedly served and treated at the hospital for our study and had interviews with them. Questionnaire for citizens consists of 2 basic chapters including 17 questions which determine demographic information and needs of home nursing services. We asked and searched about needs of Home Care Nursing assistances under the 3 basic groups such as General nursing, Treatment nursing and Specialized nursing. After inserting study data into the SPSS-17 program, checked it by appropriate statistical methods (t, x2, fisher exact) and checked if difference between groups and relations has statistical truth.Results: 35.89 percent of clients who got involved to the study answered that they are interested in taking nursing and caring services at home. Also we consider needs for having home nursing at home according to numerical indexes in the provinces involved to the study, clients mostly want to be injected by intramuscular (25.88%), intravenous (31.02%) and IV fluid (30.57%). As we consider specialized nursing assistances at home under the types of needs, health education and assistance for people suffered with hemorrhage and injured people occupy major percent. Clients who got involved to the training, were asked question "With whom do you want to be made nursing assistance at home?" and 75.6% of them answered that they prefer nurses of family clinic.Conclusions:1. It was observed that 35.89% of clients who got involved to the survey, want to receive home nursing assistance and demands for home nursing is being increased with aging.2. Also we conclude that nursing after hemorrhage, nursing for injured patients and nursing for patients with cardiovascular disease occupies higher percent and it shows that percent of cardiovascular diseases and injuries is relatively high and clients' needs to receive nursing assistance at home are faced problems after they were discharged from hospital.3. 75.6% of people who got involved to the study are interested in taking home nursing assistance and we reached to conclusion that it is suitable to train nurses according to it.

Since a human being was born, female reproductive organs, particularly the structure and function
of the ovaries are constantly changing. The findings of overseas studies referred hereunder show
that the ovarian follicular growth and atresia in young girls occur simultaneously, continuously and
actively. The histopathology and ultrasound examination of the ovaries in girls were similar in principles. We found that ovarian maturation is influenced by hormonal stimulation, not only by age. In
the most of the study, ovarian follicles were divided into two groups; as micro-cysts (<9mm) and
macro-cysts (>9mm).
In every country, physical development of inhabitants shall be researched academically in every 5 to
10 years, comparing to geography, nature, weather conditions, culture, occupation and livelihood of local residents, in connection with the social and economic development of the country; urban and
rural areas. In the studies regarding physical growth and development of Mongolian children’s body, structure and maturation of the ovaries in girls have not been determined. However, in 1996, Tuul M.
studied ovarian measurements in Mongolian adults sampling organs from cadavers. Fundamental
research determining the characteristic of ovarian structure and maturation in Mongolian girls and
comparing results with an onset of puberty is needed to be developed.
