Background:
The annual incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism is reported to be 39–115 cases per 100,000 population,
with rates of 60–120/100,000 in Western countries and 10–20/100,000 in Asian countries. In Mongolia, few studies
revealed the prevalence of risk factors and clinical manifestations of acute pulmonary embolism. Over the past 30 years,
the incidence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases, which are mainly triggered by lifestyle and social parameters,
has rose. Moreover, environmental conditions such as cold climate, hypoxia, and blood hyperviscosit may contribute
to higher incidences of acute pulmonary embolism in high-altitude regions. This condition is potentially fatal and can
become impair quality of life.
Aim:
We aimed to compare risk factors and clinical characteristics based on age and sex, and to evaluate laboratory findings
and diagnostic tests among Mongolian patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism.
Materials and Methods:
This retrospective research included total 232 patients meeting inclusion criteria. The information
was collected from patient histories, including general demographics, risk factors, comorbidities, symptoms, and
physical examination findings. Laboratory analyses included complete blood count, coagulation profile, and immunological
markers (D-dimer, NT-proBNP, troponin, protein C, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein), as well as selected
imaging parameters. We used Wells and Geneva scoring systems to assess probability of acute pulmonary embolism and
Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index to determine disease severity. Differences by age and sex were analyzed using independent
t-tests for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables.
Results:
Among participants with acute pulmonary embolism, the prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use was significantly
higher among males (p<0.001). Among comorbidities, arterial hypertension and other pulmonary diseases were more
common in males, whereas cardiac diseases were more frequent in females (p=0.028). Participants aged 65 years and
older showed higher rates of comorbid conditions and regular medication use (p<0.001). The most common symptoms
were dyspnea (90.9%), chest pain (74.2%), cough (70.5%), leg pain (38.9%), hemoptysis (20.7%), and cyanosis (9.3%).
According to sPESI scoring, 69.8% (n=162) were at high risk of death within 30 days, with no significant difference by
sex. However, mortality risk within 30 days was significantly higher in participants aged 65 years and above (p<0.001).
As increasing age, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were elevated, indicating an acute
inflammatory response (p=0.001). Contrast-enhanced CT scans revealed that 95 participants (44.2%) had main pulmonary
artery involvement, with no significant sex difference, though involvement of the main pulmonary artery was more
frequent in those aged 65 and older.
Conclusion
Dyspnea, chest pain, and cough were the most common symptoms among patients diagnosed with acute
pulmonary embolism. The 30-day mortality risk associated with it was higher among males and increased with advancing
age.

Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of mortality in many countries. Acute coronary syndrome is the basis pathophysiology of coronary heart disease. Complication of coronary atherosclerosis composes rupture of plaque and erosion of vulnerable plaque. Endothelial dysfunction is main influence of coronary plaque erosion. But then recently research oxidative stress and reaction of
immunocomplex is leading cause of coronary plaque rupture. So the research background will study markers of endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, immune reaction in the complication of coronaryatherosclerosis. Aim: Determine the effect of some marker for causing complication of the coronary atherosclerosis.
The research has been conducted using case-control study method. In the case group, patients with complication of the coronary atherosclerosis as determined by coronary angiography (stenosis >85%) as in the control group healthy people with carotid artery stenosis (<0.7mm) has been involved. In the study we defined Anti-oxLDL (anti-oxidized low density lipoprotein) using ELISA Kit (Eucardio Lab, USA) and oxLDL (oxidized low density lipoprotein) titer by ELISA Kit (Mercadio, USA), ADMA (Asymmetric dimethylarginine) titer by ELISA kit (Eucardio Lab, USA) reagents in the enzyme binding reaction. Total
antioxidant capacity (TAC) was determined by using spectrophotometer method. The average age of people involved in the research is 57.2±9.72 and for the average age is case group 28 (32%) and 50 (68%) for the control group. ADMA titer level for complication of coronary
atherosclerosis or case group is (30.1±1.98 ng/ml) which is (13.2±0.57 ng/ml) greater than the control group. It was statistically significant result (p<0.001). Also titer level for case group is oxLDL (72±2.75 mU/l), anti-oxLDL antibody (766±29.8 mU/ml), which is oxLDL (45.1±2.28 mU/l), anti-oxLDL antibody(603±17.74 mU/ml) greater than the control group. It was statistically significant result (p<0.001). But TAC titer level for control group is (116±2.47 nmol/l) which is (108.3±5.43 nmol/l) greater than
the case group. It was not statistically significant result (p=0.098). According to the Binary Logistic
Regression test the anti-oxLDL (OR=0.992, p<0.001), ADMA (OR=0.681, p<0.001), TAC (OR=1.017, p=0.105), oxLDL (OR=0.900, p<0.001) levels significantly influence the complication of coronary atherosclerosis. Therefore according to the Binary Logistic Regression test the anti-oxLDL level high significantly influence the complication of coronary atherosclerosis. Anti-oxLDL antibody titer are
correlated directly with oxLDL (r=0.413, p<0.01), ADMA (r=0.42, p<0.001) levels. However, correlated negative directly with TAC (r=-0.233, p<0.01) level.
Markers of endothelial dysfunction (ADMA OR=0.681, p<0.001) and oxidative stress (oxLDL, OR=0.900, p<0.001), (anti-oxLDL antibody, OR=0.992, p<0.001) high influence causing of complication of coronary atherosclerosis.

Structure, size of trachea and bronchial tree are well known in modern
time. There are hundreds of research about respiratory anatomy
havebeen done in developed countries. Our team interested that when
and how airway structure to become investigated. In Shinong king’s
period (2838 – 2699 BCE) human anatomical feature was described
rough and ready and note down in books and other treatises. In Guang
– Tae king’s period ( 2698 BCE), the trachea divided into 7 pieces in
the thorax cavity described in medical treatise named “Nei King” .Since
8th century BCE when autopsy introduced in India, the morphology
started in science as evidence based science. All the theories at the
time based on research findings represent that medical science has
been developed as a evidence based science since 16thcentury in
Mongolia. The late 18 century, period of renaissance technology and
science, structures of the respiratory system start investigated in detail.
1889 V.Ewart , There are many scientists attempt to measure size of
airway structures, unfortunately the results were quite different that may
due to material, method and anatomical feature differences. Thus,
future intensive research is needed in order to prosecute out previous
docotr’s and scientists studies.

BackgroundOut of total 209550 cases of cardiovascular diseases in 2011, 66,7% were newly registered cases.Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of mortality in Mongolia; an estimated 6291 peopledied from CVDs in 2011, representing 36.7% of all deaths. It shows that CVD mortality level is higherthan in other countries.Materials and MethodsOur survey is a cross sectional study. We have investigated 600 people of the age of 20-40 whowere randomly selected from 6 urban districts of Ulaanbaatar city. With a permission #4 issued bythe Medical Ethics Control Committee of the Ministry of Health on 25th March 2011, our survey wascarried out between the 1st of July 2011 and the 1st of January 2012 based on the Functional DiagnosticLaboratory, Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology, School of Biomedicine, Health SciencesUniversity of Mongolia.ResultsThe CAVI was significantly higher (p<0.001) in 30-40 aged adults (6.68, 95% CI 6.58-6.78) than 20-29 aged adults (6.42, 95% CI 6.32-6.52). Also CAVI has a direct correlation with the cholesterol level(p<0.05, R2=0,011). Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL levels were significantly higher (p<0.05)in men than women. Framingham Heart Score was in the normal range in 99.2% of the participantswith 4 cases having the score of 10% or higher representing a risk score.ConclusionsDislipidemia, overweight and obesity in young adults are the main causes of vascular dysfunctionsleading to cardiovascular diseases. Thus, the findings of the study demonstrate that helping youths todevelop healthy lifestyles including healthy eating and physical activities shall play a critical role for theprevention and intervention programs designed for development of healthy behavior and lifestyle fromchildhood, especially for the male population, are vital for fulfillment of this role.
