Background:
The continuous annual increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant challenges not
only within our nation but also globally in the control and management of tuberculosis.
Aim:
This study aimed to determine the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis among individuals with type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM) residing in six central districts of Ulaanbaatar and to investigate associated factors.
Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study design was employed. Participants aged 18 years and older diagnosed
with T2DM and receiving care at endocrinology clinics in six central districts of Ulaanbaatar were selected using systematic random sampling. Presumptive TB cases were identified through a structured questionnaire and chest X-ray. Sputum
specimens were collected and subjected to smear microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF assay for tuberculosis detection. Cases
confirmed by laboratory diagnosis, currently undergoing tuberculosis treatment and previously treated cases as per questionnaire data were classified as tuberculosis cases, and prevalence was calculated.
Results:
A total of 1,644 individuals with T2DM were enrolled in the study, of whom 836 (50.9%) were female, with
a mean age of 58 years (range 19–89). The overall prevalence of presumptive TB cases was 10.5% (n=172; 95% CI,
9.0–12.0). Among 112 suspected cases from whom sputum samples were obtained, 10 (8.9%; 95% CI, 4.9–15.7) were
laboratory-confirmed for M.tuberculosis. Notably, 7.2% (6 cases; 95% CI, 3.4–14.9) of asymptomatic individuals with
abnormal X-ray findings were diagnosed with tuberculosis. According to questionnaire responses, 9 participants (0.5%;
95% CI, 0.3–1.0) were undergoing tuberculosis treatment, and 53 (3.2%; 95% CI, 2.5–4.2) reported a previously treated
TB cases. The overall prevalence of tuberculosis among individuals with diabetes was 4.4% (n=72; 95% CI, 3.5–5.5).
Stratification by age and sex revealed a significantly higher prevalence among males (5.9%; n=48; 95% CI, 4.5–7.8)
compared to females (2.9%; 95% CI, 1.2–4.2) (p=0.002), indicating a twofold increased risk of tuberculosis in males.
Although no statistically significant differences in tuberculosis prevalence were observed across age groups (p>0.05), a
declining trend in prevalence with older age was noted.
Conclusion
The prevalence of tuberculosis among individuals with type 2 diabetes was 4.4% (n=72; 95% CI, 3.5–5.5),
with a significantly higher rate in males (p=0.002) and a decreasing trend with increasing age. Among asymptomatic
individuals exhibiting radiographic abnormalities, 7.2% were confirmed to have tuberculosis via laboratory testing

Background:
The Traditional mongolian Osteopathy of Mongolia is the knowledge and profession of the medicine that it
blows an alcohol by the strength a chest art and brain awake; specially cares bone injury by hand as well as dedicated to
the patient with the bone injury. This treatment perfectly improves the nature skill which the patient will treat own disease
as well as completely detects the inside secret to recover itself of the injured bone. Also, it doesn’t hurt the peel of the
injured bone and blood system as well as harmonizes with a constant and without movement. So, this is one of without
surgery therapy as well as the science of Mongolian hospital that it has a lot of special advantages such as a pain less, to
not ulcerate skin and muscle, other combined disease less, short time of treatment, the expense less of treatment as well
as the bone healing and the recovery of the injured joint function are fast.
Clinical cases:
Patient M, 10 years old, male, “Fracture of the lateral condyle of the humerus”, Patient C, Patient J, female, “Colles fracture”, Patient B, fracture of the 5th metacarpal bone, Patient B, “Dislocation of the shoulder clavicle”
were treated with Traditional mongolian Osteopathy.
Results:
Results: Over a total treatment period of 21-28 days, callus formation occurred, limb mobility was restored, and
function improved.
Conclusion
In the above clinical cases, the treatment effect of Traditional mongolian Osteopathy methods is good. In
some ways, it may be more advantageous than European medical methods and can be used for the same treatment as
European medical methods.

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.

We are still doing research on 30 kind of ephemeral and perennialgramineous, bosk and wooded in our country. Nation`s enterprise in industries importing essential oils from abroad and they are using in product of medicine, food and beauty. Whole world`s most of them still researching and using widely Mentha L (Horsemint) plant in crop production and if we naturalize this Mentha L it will show result good result in plant raw material of nature and important to our economy as well.Key words: Mentha longifolia; Menth arvensis, Biological characterIntroductionEach year resource availability of raw material is proved to be not enough and it shows in research of resource in medical plant range and also what plant shows low resourceof raw material has to provide before the plant germinate or during fl owering stage in every year. Nowadays this plant is destroying and possibility of grow again is decreasing, because of the people who has interest in profi t they are taking away a lot of rhizome roots. The result of 100 scrip in Mongolian medicine shows that we supplied 43.75% of raw material in plants are from our fl ora and 56.25% is from other country. So it shows bad affect to our economy that still using other country`s resource and getting import from them. Then we have naturalize the plants in our weather conditions and try to detect innovative biological active ingredients and do research that has explained by modern science. Mongolian medicine need phytogenic of rareplants from other foreign country, so that`s why we are still doing research on how to naturalize plants in our country.Goal: How to plant Metha L. (Horsemint) in fi eld area that in order to determine the nature this plant and next try to know purpose under the following main objectives. There are:1. To recognize the naturalizing plant division2. To identify the qualifi cation of naturalizing plant division and do research ratio with anatomical result3. Get recognition of the importance in Metha L. (Horsemint)Materials and methodsThings that involved in research (blossom) take middle leaf and in order to prepare slice for anatomy research, cut the middle of leaf, get in foam plastic sponge and cut it, blue, paint it with sapphire, put it on the glass shelf make jelly and in order to prepare slice done with 8-10 frequency. According to traditional method with the help of “Enaval” microscope research leaf’s inside anatomy and textural fi nished (Гзырян,1981; Эзау 1980; В.К.Василевская,А.А.Бутник, 1981; Гамалей, 1984). The plants leaf that involved in research anatomy picturedwith the help of “PA-4”that camera.
