Backround: The university period is a unique phase in students’ lives, often marked by independent living, changes in lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, increased psychological stress, and the development of unhealthy behaviors. Among students, particularly those studying in the medical field, research on dietary habits and influencing factors is scarce in our country, which serves as the rationale for this study. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the dietary habits of medical students and the factors influencing them, including sleep, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, and stress. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 358 students from years 1 to 6 across 7 schools of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences (MNUMS). Data were collected using internationally standardized and validated questionnaires, including the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire Revised-18 (TFEQ-R18), the Short UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale-20 (SUPPS-P-20), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0. Results: In terms of eating behavior, uncontrolled eating (UE) and cognitive restraint (CR) were similar between male and female students, while emotional eating (EE) was more prevalent among male students. Students’ eating behaviors were associated with body mass index (BMI). As BMI increased, levels of depression, anxiety, and stress also tended to rise. Sensation-seeking and positive urgency were higher among female students. Overall, 83.5% of students had poor sleep quality, which contributed to increased depression, anxiety, stress, and impulsivity. Psychological burden and impulsivity were independent of the field of study but decreased as students progressed through their academic years, while sleep quality improved. Conclusion The dietary habits of medical students were similar across genders but varied by academic year and field of study. Poor sleep quality, observed in 83.5% of students, was associated with increased depression, anxiety, stress, and impulsivity. Psychological burden and impulsivity were unrelated to the field of study but decreased with advancing academic years, alongside improved sleep quality. As BMI increased, cognitive restraint in eating behaviors decreased.

The global average cancer incidence is 9.3 per 100,000 population, while this figure is 93.7, or 10 times higher, in our country. At the end of the 2023 report, 28,855 people were being monitored and treated for cancer under the supervision of the province's district oncologists. According to the 2022 statistics of the World Health Organization, about 10 million people die from this disease every year in the world. In Mongolia, the incidence and mortality rate of cancer have also increased rapidly in recent years, and as of 2021, it has become the second leading cause of death.
To determine the level of depression in cancer patients and study the relationship between some factors affecting it research methods and scope: The study was conducted using a single-point analytical research design, and data were collected from 95 cancer patients under the care of a family health center between February 10, 2025 and March 20, 2025 using the PHQ 9, 18 Sleep Disorders Questionnaires, and 15 General Information Questionnaires, a total of 42 questionnaires issued by the WHO for primary health care providers. 26.3% (25) of the study participants were male, and 73.7% (70) were female. Of the total study participants, 39 (41.1%) were not depressed, 25 (26.3%) had self-limiting depression, 15 (15.8%) had moderate depression, 3 (3.2%) had moderate to severe depression, and 13 (13.7%) had severe depression. The majority of cancer patients are depressed. Severe depression can make it difficult to perform simple social activities and may even lead to suicide, so psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment are necessary.

Abstract: CHUN-7 a Mongolian traditional recipe consisting of 7 medicinal plants is described in the scripture named “༆༆ །།གཡུ་ཐོག་པའི་མཛད་པའི་རིམས སྲུང་ཁྱུ་ལྔ་རྒྱམ་ཏོན་གསལ་བ །།”. The ingredients including Caowu (Radix Aconiti kusnezoffii, CW) and Glehniae Radix (GR) have the effects of suppressing pneumonia, viral pneumonia, relieving pain, stimulating the immune system and reducing fever. The present study was aimed to determine acute and chronic toxicity properties of traditional drug. Materials and methods: CHUN 7 traditional drug were prepared in the traditional medicine sector of the Drug research Institute of Monos group. All WISTAR rats were kept in the same feed, under 12 hours lighting and 12 hours darkness housing. The study of acute and chronic toxicity of CHUN-7 traditional drug was studied by using IP and oral administration were performed on ten WISTAR rats and continued for a total of 28 days with 102.9 mg / kg dose (calculated from human dose: 16.7 mg/kg) in accordance with the WHO General Guidelines for the Evaluation and Study of Traditional Medicine. Results: The result showed no structural changes in the internal organs according to tissue morphology when we administrated CHUN-7 traditional drug. Conclusion This study showed CHUN-7 traditional drug has no toxic effects to internal organs including liver, kidney, stomach, lungs and heart. Therefore, CHUN-7 traditional drug has potential to use orally without any toxicology.

Introduction: Biliary Atresia is a fibroobliterativedisorder of the intra andextrahepatic bile ducts in infancy, which isgoing progressively cholestatic liver disease.The failed Kasaiportoenterostomy requiresliver transplantation. The goal of this studyis to show the outcome of Kasai operation,recent improvement and correlation the datato overseas.Methods and Materials: This study wasconducted in the department of generalsurgery of National Center for Maternal andChild Health of Mongolia between 2010 and2016 on a total of 66 infancies with biliaryatresia.Results: Patient diagnosed with biliaryatresia, which performed Kasai operationwithin first 2 months the outcome is verygood early and late post-operation period.There were 3 patients with 10 year survival, 4patients with 5-10 year and 28 patients with5 year survival after Kasai operation. The mostcomport age for liver transplantation is 1 yearlater after Kasai operation in Mongolia. Livertransplantation programme is necessary forMongolian pediatric surgery, and we thoughtour team was assembled.Conclusion: The children with biliary atresiaperform the Kasai operation within 2 monthsthe outcome is very good. Children with biliaryatresia often experience long wait times fortransplant unless exception points are grantedto reflect severity of disease.In Mongolia livertransplantation done in 2 child.

Background. There are varieties of supports from Mongolian government and health organizations to people with epilepsy. However, epileptics are often socially discriminated due to the negative public attitudes, misconceptions, false beliefs and wrong decisions.

Participants’ age range was from 16 to 64 years and average age was 36.0 (SD 9.34). 64.1% (449) participants out of all had some understanding and knowledge about epilepsy while they possess high school and university educational degree. 42.2% (295) participants had some knowledge about causes of epilepsy, how to react and how to give a first aid for epilepsy patients. However, 57.8% (405) participant out of all involved in the study had not enough knowledge about epilepsy. 29.7% (208) participant had a positive attitude towards epilepsy.ConclusionPersonal age, educational level, information accessed and interaction with people with epilepsy influences to the knowledge about epilepsy.
