Background: Cancer incidence and mortality are steadily increasing both globally and in Mongolia. As these rates rise, traditional Mongolian medicine has long utilized herbal formulas for the treatment of gastric and esophageal cancers and precancerous conditions. One such formulation—Hot Natured 3 Herbs (HN3H)—comprises three species from the Ranunculaceae family: Atragene sibirica L., Ranunculus repens L., and Pulsatilla bungeana L.. However, scientific validation of its anti-tumor effects is essential. This study aimed to investigate the effect of HN3H in a tumor-induced animal model. Aim: To identify the biologically active compounds of HN3H and evaluate their effect in an experimentally induced tumor model in animals. Materials and Methods: The three herbs comprising HN3H—Atragene sibirica L., Ranunculus repens L., and Pulsatilla bungeana L.—were collected during their flowering stage (May–June) in Khishig-Undur, Bulgan province, and dried according to official procedures. Extraction was carried out by maceration in 96% ethanol at a 1:10 ratio. The concentrated extract was suspended in water (1:1) and successively fractionated with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol, chloroform, and n-hexane. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (Protocol №2020/03-04). A colorectal cancer model was established by subcutaneous injection of MC-38 cells (Kerafast, USA) into C57BL/6 mice. Immunohistochemistry was performed using CK20, CDX2, Ki67, and p53 antibodies at 1:100 and 1:200 dilutions. Results: The ethanol extract of HN3H contained 2.98±0.04% total phenolics and 2.16±0.05% total flavonoids. Body weight and tumor volume were measured daily with three repetitions. All groups showed a time-dependent increase in body weight. Mice in groups 1A and 1B received ethanol extract at 50 and 100 mg/kg doses; groups 2A and 2B received dichloromethane extract at the same doses. The negative control group was administered 0.5 mg/kg PBS orally, while the positive control group received intraperitoneal injections of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) at 10 mg/kg twice a week. Tumor growth increased in a time-dependent manner across groups. Compared to the negative control, tumor volumes in four treatment groups showed statistically significant reduction (p˂0.05), while no significant difference was observed when compared to the positive control (p=0.08). Histological analysis revealed necrosis in all groups, with variation in extent. Conclusion The ethanol extract of HN3H exhibited moderate levels of phenolic compounds and a high concentration of flavonoids. HN3H extract inhibited tumor progression and activated lymphocyte-predominant inflammation in tumor tissues, indicating potential anti-tumor activity (p˂0.05).

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 70-95% of developing countries rely on traditional medicine, which includes around 365 plant, animal, and mineral-based preparations. Natural products consist of numerous biologically active compounds that exert effects against pathogens, making up about 25% of modern pharmaceuticals derived from plants. Since plants are a combination of various metabolites, they can have therapeutic effects, side effects, and toxicity in the human body. Based on the traditional use of medicinal herbs in Mongolian and Tibetan medicine for their sedative properties, we selected the medicinal herbs Valeriana officinalis L. and Leonurus sibiricus L., The objective is to develop new medicinal preparations that can be utilized in modern medical practice to treat, prevent, or supplement the treatment of depression and anxiety. Consequently, it is necessary to prepare a herbal complex from these selected plants and conduct studies to investigate their subchronic toxicity and sedative activities. Aim: To study subchronic and sedative activity of herbal complex preparations. Materials and Methods: The herbal complex preparation was prepared from the 70% ethanol extract of the roots of Valeriana officinalis L. and the aerial parts of Leonurus sibiricus L., and a compound preparation was made in a 30:70 ratio. Subchronic toxicity study was conducted on Wistar rats weighing 180-250 g according to the OECD-407 guidelines. The sedative activity of herbal complex preparation was studied on C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice using the dark/light transition test according to Takao K., and the hole-board test according to Hiroshi Takeda. Results: In the sub-chronic toxicity study of the herbal complex preparation, biochemical analysis of the serum (including ALT, AST, creatinine, and urea) and histopathological examination of the liver, kidney, and heart showed no statistically significant changes when comparing the experimental groups to the control group. The herbal complex preparation at a dose of 1000 mg/kg increased the time spent in the dark area, decreased the time spent in the light area, and the number of transitions between the two areas of mice in the dark/light transition test, and reduced the number of head-dipping into the holes of mice in the hole-board test. Conclusion The herbal complex preparation exhibited low toxicity at doses of 1000 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg based on biochemical and histopathological examinations in the subchronic toxicity study. Furthermore, the preparation demonstrated sedative effects at a dose of 1000 mg/kg.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, affecting 150 million people worldwide annually. It is estimated that 1% of the population suffers from urinary tract infections. The most common infections in kidney and urinary tract are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Proteus which account 80%, 5-15% and 5-10%, respectively. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis are critical factors involved in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. Oxidative stress, a pathological condition characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s antioxidant defenses, leads to cellular damage and is directly implicated in the initiation and progression of acute kidney injury. Antioxidants serve a protective role by mitigating the harmful effects of free radicals and oxidative stress on cellular structures. Drawing upon the extensive resources of medicinal plants and the therapeutic practices of traditional medicine, plants rich in antioxidant compounds, including Dasiphora fruticosa (L.), Cynara scolymus (L.), and Rosa acicularis (L.), were selected for the development of the Phytonephro-SAN preparation. The phytochemical profile and nephroprotective properties of these plants have been investigated and validated. Moving forward, further studies are warranted to assess the safety profile of the formulation, including comprehensive toxicity evaluations. Aim: To investigate and establish the subacute toxicity and antibacterial activity of the Phytonephro-SAN preparation. Materials and Methods: The subacute toxicity assessment of the Phythonephro-SAN preparation was conducted on Wistar rats following the OECD-407 guidelines. The study of the antibacterial activity of the preparation was determined by the broth dilution method. Results: The subacute toxicity assessment, evaluated through parameters such as body and organ weights and complete blood count (CBC), revealed no statistically significant differences between the groups administered the Phytonephro-SAN preparation at doses of 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, and the control group. According to the study of antibacterial activity, Phytonephro-SAN preparation has antibacterial activity at 90 mg/ml and 80 mg/ml doses. Conclusion The administration of the Phytonephro-SAN preparation to Wistar rats at doses of 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg over 28 days did not result in mortality, and no significant changes were observed in body and organ weights or CBC parameters. These findings support the conclusion that the preparation possesses minimal toxicity. Additionally, the preparation demonstrated effective antibacterial activity against specific urinary tract pathogens at higher concentrations.

Outcomes of the retinopathy of prematurity screening and treatment in Mongolia Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease characterized by abnormal retinal vasculature that can have devastating visual consequences. Despite evidence that early detection and treatment can prevent blindness, ROP remains a leading cause of pediatric blindness worldwide. We aimed at investigating the outcomes of ROP screening, intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and laser surgery in the treatment ROP and describe an evidence-based and specific process for identifying birth weight and gestational age screening guidelines in Mongolia utilizing telemedicine. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective of prematurity infants screened ROP from 2012 September to July 2020 and prospective cohort study of premature infants with treatment-requiring ROP who received intravitreal injections, laser surgery and combined therapy from 2015 December 01 to January 31, 2017. Demographic factors, diagnosis and clinical course were recorded in a de-identified manner using REDCap, a secure, web-based platform to collect image and demographic data. The IRB approved the study protocol not requiring parental consent due to the de-identified nature of the data which was used for program monitoring purposes. Indirect ophthalmoscopy and Retinal imaging was performed using RetCam (Natus Medical, Pleasanton, CA) and images were uploaded to the web-based platform which could be accessed by the Mongolian ophthalmologist for reference. Each eye was evaluated by the local Mongolian ophthalmologist for the presence or absence of ROP, zone of vascularization, stage, plus disease, and aggressive posterior ROP (AP-ROP). The diagnosis and classification of ROP for this current study were determined by examination using indirect ophthalmoscopy, and treatment plans were determined according to the International Classification for ROP and the Early Treatment for ROP Study (ET-ROP).2,13 Regression analysis to determine association between BW and GA and the development of ROP. Results: A total of 9126 premature infants with BW ≤ 2500 g and/or GA ≤ 36 weeks were screened for ROP during the study period. 327 (3.5%) of the 9126 infants screened required treatment. The193 infants who received ROP screening had a mean GA of 30.09 ± 1.7 weeks, and mean BW of 1500.3 ± 125.42g. The BW of infants in this study ranged from 750g to 2000g, and the GA at birth ranged from 25 to 35 weeks. The BW of infants in this study ranged from 750g to 2000g, and the GA at birth ranged from 25 to 35 weeks. There were 96 boys (49.7%) and 97 girls (50.3%). Among infants receiving treatment, the highest BW was 2000g (born at 31 weeks GA), and the oldest was 34 weeks (with a BW of 1300g). The distribution of birth weight and gestational age in Mongolia was similar to other low-middle income countries, with higher birth weight and older gestational age. As birth weight and gestational age decreased, relative risk of developing ROP increased. Conclusions: After treatment, resolution of ROP was noted in approximately 90 % of the patients who had treatment-requiring ROP. 10 % of patients treated with IVB, IVR, Laser surgery and combined therapy however, did not respond and progressed to retinal detachment. This prospective study provides information about the development of ROP in preterm infants in the capital city of Mongolia. The distributions of BW and GA among infants developing ROP in Mongolia differ from those found in higher-income countries, and are comparable to other low and middle-income countries. We used a secure, web-based data collection and retrieval system that could be extended to multiple countries, which is now equipped with a telemedicine platform enabling remote grading of fundus images.
