Glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency in humans, affecting 400 million people worldwide and a high prevalence in persons of African, Middle Asian countries. The most common clinical manifestations are neonatal jaundice and acute hemolytic anemia, which is caused by the impairment of erythrocyte’s ability to remove harmful oxidative stress triggered by exogenous agents such as drugs, infection, or fava bean ingestion. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia caused by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is strongly associated with mortality and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Aim:To determine a level of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in healthy neonates.The 76.5% of all participants (n=205) was assessed 4.36±1.15 Ug/Hb in normal reference range of G6PD other 23.5% (n=63) was 0.96±0.51 Ug/Hb with G6PD deficiency. In the both sex, 51.5% of male 0.88±0.46Ug/Hb (n=33) and 47.6%of female (n=30) 0.97±0.55Ug/Hb was assessed with G6PDdeficiency. Developing Jaundice period in number of 63 neonates with G6PD deficiency, 85.7% of neonates (n=54)was in 24-72 hours, 4% of neonates (n=3) was in 5-7 days and there is no sign of jaundice in 9% (n=6).Therefore neonates with G6PD deficiency, 53.9% (n=34)contiuned jaundice more than two weeks.G6PD deficiency was determined in male neonates (51.5%) more than female(47.6%). The 76.5% of all participants (n=205) was assessed 4.36±1.15 Ug/Hb in normal reference range of G6PD other 23.5% (n=63) of all participants was 0.96±0.51 Ug/Hb with G6PD deficiency. It shows that G6PD might be one potential risk of neonatal jaundice and hyperbilirubinemia in neonates in Mongolia.

Introduction:
Quality of pharmaceutical products is very important because drugs must be marketed as safe
and therapeutically active formulations whose performance is consistent and predictable. The evaluation of
the physical characteristics of the pharmaceutical products can ensure their quality as well as bioavailability
and impart optimum therapeutic activity. Metronidazole was chosen for this comparative study because this
drug is widely used worldwide in the treatment of amoebiasis and other microbial diseases.
Method:
The quality control parameters of five different brands of metronidazole 500 mg tablets were
determined weight variation, friability, hardness, and disintegration, dissolution and assay tests. All the tablets
were evaluated for conformity with British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and Mongolian Pharmacopoeia-National
Formulary (MP-NF) standards.
Results:
Among five brands of tablets Brand М3 had lower mean weight variation of 0.8% and Brand М1
had highest mean weight variation of 3.42%. For friability test Brand М2 had the lowest mean friability (0.57)
and Brand М1 had highest mean friability (1.51). The disintegration time for five brands of ciprofloxacin tablet
obtained were in the subsequent order: Brand М1 (2.82 min) < Brand М3 (8.8 min) < Brand М4 (12.32 min)
< Brand М5 (13.82 min) < Brand М1 (39.22 min).
Conclusion
The present study revealed that all of the leading brands (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5) of this tablet
met the quality control parameters as per pharmacopoeial specifications.

2. Research methods: Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study.
Conclusion
Medicinal recipes containing the herb Veronica Incana L were sampled from the ancient medical books surveyed. There are 6 recipes in the book of Jambalchojidanzanperenlei, 3 recipes in the book of Luvsandorj, and 2 in the book of Jigmeddanzanjamts, a total of 11 ingredients. In general, these ancient medical books had a significant impact on the development of traditional Mongolian medicinal prescriptions. Therefore, even today, these works are still important in the theory of pharmaceutical composition and the practice of drug therapy.

Background:
Medicinal plant research has been successfully carried out in the field of pharmacy and pharmacology
in Mongolia, and dozens of research projects are still being carried out However, there are still fewer
studied medicinal plants of practical importance growing in Mongolia. Therefore, there is a need to register and study the ancient medicinal books written by ancient Mongolian doctors about the relatively lilUe-studied Veronica Incana L plant. In addition, taking into account that scientific research on Veronica Incana L. which grows in Mongolia, has not been done in the field of medicine, the topic was selected for research in this field.
Purpose:
Comparing the information of the ancient medical books written by Mongolian doctors and scientists,
who wrote about Veronica Incana L, to clarify the taste, power, and quality

Conclusion
Gandhabhatra plant is used in traditional Mongolian medicinal practice from ancient times, the plant
is called Veronica Incana L in Lalin. Also called Buural gandbadraa in Mongolian. On the other hand,
the traditional medical doctors of China's Inner Mongolia and Tibet use Gandbadraa, the Latin name
Gnaphalium affine D. Don. The appearance, shape, and color of the flowers of these two plants are
different According to the research of the source, the main instruction and usage of the plants are the
same: to deslroy benign tumors, lo remove poison, to treat colds, and to stop cough.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;87(3):116-122
Background:
Children with developmental disabilities benefit from
support in motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive development, and
social skills. Mongolia has trained occupational therapists for a decade,
with 37% specializing in pediatrics, but long-term therapy facilities remain
limited.
Aim:
This study provides a case report on a child with
developmental disabilities who received occupational therapy to evaluate
improvements in sensory processing, social communication, and
daily living skills.
Materials and Methods:
The study participants were
purposively selected from children undergoing occupational therapy at
the “Enerel” Child Development Center. Participant A is a 16-year-old
male with hearing and speech impairments, as well as an intellectual
disability. The initial assessment showed poor sensory processing and
behavioral problems and communication difficulties. A tailored program
incorporating sensory-based therapies, communication cards, and sign
language was developed with caregiver collaboration. Occupational
therapy was conducted five times weekly for 11 weeks. Pre and post
test assessments included goal attainment scaling (GAS) and Sensory
profile 2 (Child).
Results:
The participant showed improved communication
using cards and sign language, better emotional regulation,
enhanced sensory processing, and reduced hyperactivity to external
stimuli. Goal Achievement (GAS) +2, meaning the goal was achieved
better than expected and positive changes were found on the Sensory
profile 2, with large effect sizes.
Conclusion
The study found that sensory-
based occupational therapy and sign language training improved
occupational performance and goal achievement in children with sensory,
behavioral, and communication difficulties.

Introduction:
Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which is used in traditional medicine, has the ability to
remove blood-drying heat. Chiazospermum erectum Bernh. has the ability to relieve typhoid fever and
poison fever. Carthamus tinctorius L. has antiseptic, analgesic and anti-toxic properties. Saussurea amara
L. has bactericidal, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers found that the Hepaclin-4
recipe has antioxidant, membrane-strengthening, liver-protective, necrosis-preventing, detoxification, and
peroxidation product accumulation-reducing properties. Therefore, extracting the granular medicine form
from the concentrated extract containing the Hepaclin-4 formulation is the basis of our research work.
Goal:
To obtain the granular medicine form from the concentrated extract containing ingredients of the
Hepaclin-4 recipe.
Materials and Methods:
The research was carried out with the support of the Institute of Pharmaceutical
Research and the University of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The raw materials for the Hepaclin-4 formula were extracted by remaceration with water, 40% ethanol, and 70% ethanol (1:10 ratio). Six types of granules were extracted from the concentrated extract using several excipients by the wet granulation method, and the pouring weight and flowability were determined.
Results:
The quality index of the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 recipe complies with the standards
outlined in the 11th Pharmacopoeia of the National Pharmacopoeia of Mongolia. In qualitative analysis of
total flavonoid, spots were detected at the same level as standard quercetin (Rf=0.88) and rutin (Rf=0.4),
indicating the presence of flavonoids. According to the results of the above research, lactose was found to
be the suitable filler for extracting granules, and starch at 8% was identified as the appropriate binding agent from the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 formula.
Conclusion
It was found suitable to select 8% lactose as a filler and starch as a binding agent from the concentrated extract of the Hepaclin-4 formula and obtain a granule drug form using the wet granulation
method.
