Introduction: The National Library of Mongolia was established in 1921 based largely on the 8th Khalkha Jebtsundamba Library. In studying the tradition of collecting and preserving books in Mongolia, the subject can be divided into three categories:
1. Family collection
2. Palace/ Royal collections
3. Monastery collections.
From the collection mentioned above, we selected a work belonging to the royal collections, specifically one transferred from the VIII Khalkha Jebtsundamba’s Library to the National Library. This book, “The drug actions that are useful for any kind of ulcer, swelling, and injuries,” is a rare and valuable item of medical cultural heritage, existing in a single known copy. Therefore, this work was selected for incorporation into the research cycle.
To identify the formulas, forms of medicines, methods of use, actions, and to abstain from diet methods in the book “The drug actions that are useful for any kind of ulcer, swelling, and injuries.” Methods: We employed methods such as the study of original texts and sources, analytic- synthetic method. Conclusion The book includes methods for using 27 various medicines to treat 26 types of diseases related to the lesions. Some medicines can be used externally in addition to oral administration, and 90% of all medicines are in the form of powders and granules for external application.

Introduction: The text “Secret Medicine Recipes of Important Matters” represents a unique heritage that embodies the theories and concepts of traditional Mongolian medicine, particularly as a documentary source of medicinal composition. Through this work, it is important to examine the terminology, theoretical and methodological concepts, and characteristics of medical works written in Mongolian script within the field of traditional Mongolian medicine.
To conduct a study of the final words of the second volume of the “Secret Medicine Recipes for Important Matters” and to compare and analyze the original text, including some outdated terms and content. Methods: The second volume of the book “Secret Medicine Recipes for Important Matters” is a Mongolian manuscript. The book measures 22.7x22.3 cm and contains 111 pages. It is covered with yellow silk featuring a floral pattern and is bound with four holes using twisted brownish-yellow thread. The text is written on coarse paper with red lines. Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and translated methods were used in the study. Conclusion The second volume of the “Secret Medicine Recipes for Important Matters” contains a description of the nasal immunization method of the white ash medicine used for disease prevention. The method involves administering the substance through the nose to regulate sputum, and from a modern perspective, it can be interpreted as a live vaccination. The most optimal version of this method was created by Tsakhar Geshe Luvsanchultem and written in his work, and later used as an injection for the three Gobi Gurvan Saikhan’s Sharav maaramba.

Introduction: A study sample of 78 manuscripts was selected from the 1,223 transferred from the 8^th Khalkha Jebtsundamba’s Library to the National Library of Mongolia. This sample consists of single, representative volumes from unique, multi-volume texts. Of the 78 manuscripts analyzed by Tungalag Batmunkh, eight (approx. 10%) are categorized as medical treatises. However, a systematic study conducted by Academician Bold Sharav identified a total of nine distinct volumes, thereby establishing a precise corpus of the works. One of these is the book “The book summarizes a number of conventional formulas from Tong Ren Tang Pharmaceutical Company”, which is one of the sources that has not yet been researched. This study was undertaken to determine the origin of the book, terminology, number, and category of medicines, and to clarify the drug action of some formulas.
To determine the origin, terminology, number, and classification of the ancient medical book “The book summarizes a number of conventional formulas from Tong Ren Tang Pharmaceutical Company,” and to clarify the characteristics of the medicines included in the chapter “Drugs for stroke diseases.” Methods: We employed methods such as the study of original texts and sources, and the checklist method. Conclusion The medications used in this book for stroke have the following benefits: thrombolytic, bone strengthening, tendon pain relief, support free breathing, relieve fever, antiplatelet, cure wind, regeneration bone marrow, improve testicle semen, and provide physical radiance, strength, and virility.

Introduction: This time, we will clarify the terms used to express the traditional medical knowledge of Turks, Arabs, Persians, Khotons, or Uyghurs that have not been deeply explored by researchers in the book “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink.” In addition, we propose to lay the foundation for studying the level of ancient medical relations between the ancient Mongols and Islamic countries and to create a new direction of research. Therefore, it is important to conduct a detailed study based on the sample of words related to food, drink, and herbal medicine of Islamic countries such as Turks, Arabs, Persians, and Uyghurs in the book “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink” besides from Chinese medicine. The aim of the research: To explain the names of food and drink of Turkic, Arabic, and Khoton (Uyghur) origin in the “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink” of 1330 AD. Research results Paul D. Buell and Eugene N. Anderson (2010), who translated the book “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink” into English titled “A Soup for the Qan” with an explanation, have extensively and seriously considered how the book relates to the Islamic world. These researchers also say that “the diet, medicinal plants, and grains of the Islamic world reflect a common Middle Eastern (Iranian-Arab) culture rather than the specifics of the Turkic peoples. However, since Turkic elements are dominant in other parts of Islamic culture, there is no doubt that the Turkic forms of some Arabic and Iranian words are often found in “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink.” Therefore, we have selected some words from Paul D. Buell and Eugene N. Anderson’s book “A Soup for the Qan” and considered them to be Turkic, Persian, and Arabic words. In fact, there are 36 Turkic origin words, 4 Persian origin words, and 5 Arabic origin words. However, if we look closely, we find that there are quite a few Mongolized Turkic words and Turkized Mongolian words. Conclusion: In the book “A Soup for the Qan” translated from Chinese with commentary into English by Paul D. Buell and Eugene N. Anderson, words of Turkic, Persian, and Arabic origin, namely 36 Turkic words, 4 Persian words, and 5 Arabic words, were selected and noted. Our research revealed that 11 of these 45 chosen words were Mongolian or Mongolian words of Turkic origin after thorough analysis. This result is in line with Bold Sharav’s 2022 book, which explained and noted that there were 23 Mongolian words in “Fundamental Principles of Food and Drink,” and it became clear that there were a total of 34 Mongolian or Mongolian words of Turkic origin words.

Introduction: Among the ancient medical books, manuscripts written in clear script, with unique vocabulary and treatment methods, have been found. The vocabulary in this work is very ancient, and the treatment methods are systematic, with few mentions of theoretical concepts. Most of the unfamiliar words were written in the pronunciation of the ancient Oirat Torghut and Dorbet. Some of these words were of Uyghur and Sartuul (Khui Khui) origin. Therefore, we worked to determine when and by whom this book was written, what its content was, and which direction of medicine it belongs to. Objectives: To study an ancient book written in clear script, containing Islamic medical knowledge, found in Mongolia. Results “The Healing Charm of Blue Ram” (Khökh khutsyn uvdis orshivai) records that Genghis Khan ordered Chagatai Khan to send him medical books from his land. He may have been in poor health shortly after the founding of the Chagatai state in 1225. Thus, he ordered Chagatai to send him books containing medical methods. It is reasonable to assume that the books were sent in 1226. At that time, the Chagatai state was highly developed, consisting of many ethnic groups, including Khorezm, Sartuul, and Uyghurs, who practiced Islam. In particular, the medical field was well advanced, resulting in many excellent doctors and medical books. We tried to list and explain a total of 15 words from “The Healing Charm of Blue Ram,” with many more to explore in the future. In general, it is hypothesized that many vocabulary related to medicine have spread to the Mongolian vocabulary through Arabic, Turkic, Uyghur, and Sartuul among the Western Mongolians. Conclusion: The ancient book “The Healing Charm of Blue Ram” found in Mongolia, written in clear Mongolian script, contains Islamic medical knowledge, as well as traditional Mongolian medicine methods, as is clear from the explanations of some vocabulary related to medicine. In the future, it is important to further clarify how Mongolian medicine and Islamic medical knowledge influenced each other and the contribution of Mongol khans to the development of the Ilkhanate and the Chagatai state in the study of the history of Mongolian medicine.

Background: The intestinal microbiota of Mongolians and its composition is of great interest of researchers, a few studies have did in this fields. Maybe Mongolian encompass a uniquely wide range of environmental conditions, ethno geographical cohorts and traditional nomadic lifestyles. Goal: We aimed to determine the amount of gut microbiota, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the fecal samples of relative healthy Mongolian adults residing in various regions of Mongolia by conventional culture method and PCR. Material and Methods: The study was performed population based cross sectional study in healthy volunteers. In this study, 256 relative healthy Mongolian adults with no history of gastrointestinal associated diseases were enrolled between July 2018 and April 2019. Each participants was asked to complete a questionnaire containing 164 questions about demographics, physical activity, dietary habits. Fecal samples were collected for Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium analysis using culture method and determination of genus of Bifidobacterium sрp and Lactobacillus spp by PCR. ResultsParticipants had a mean age of 38.9±12.8 years. The mean values of Lactobacillus by culture method were 5.9±1.28 and 6.24±0.94 log10 CFU/ml (4.67х106 , 4.66х106 CFU/ml), respectively. The abundance of Lactobacillus had a positive correlation with grams for fiber and amount of bifidobacterium ((r= 0.495, р<0.001, r=0.288, p<0.05), respectively). Significant difference were observed between groups of milk frequency per day for amounts of lactobacillus. In adult intestinal tracts, B.Bifidum was the most common taxon 31 (29%) followed by B. angulatum 14 (13.1%), B. adolescentis 10 (9.3%), B. catenulatum group 10 (9.3%), B. longum 9 (8.4%). B. lactis, B. breve, B. dentium and B. gallicum were subdominant species. Conclusion: The mean amount of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus of all participants were 6.24±0.94 and 5.9±1.28 log10 CFU/ml (4.66*106 , 4.67*106 CFU/ml) respectively. The Lactobacillus abundance of healthy adults was higher in region of Khangai, East and West of Mongolian than other regions. The composition of lactobacillus altered with ageing. Significant correlations were found between fiber, fats, potato and amount of Lactobacillus. Keywords: Bifidobacterium, Colony forming unit, Gut microbiota, Lactobacillus
