Introduction: Anemia is still being a population’s challenging issue regardless of high development of countries around the world. According to a study regarding prevalence and etiology of anemia conducted in 187 countries around the world, the anemia rate is 23 176 per 100 000 population. In accordance with the “5th National Nutrition Survey” study conducted in our country in 2017, one of every five women (21.4%), aged 15-49 years, (16.2%) of reproductive age women and (3.0%) of men are anemic. The current study was conducted due to it is still essential to study and identify the etiology of anemia, determine its prevalence, plan appropriate intervention, and organize future preventive measures, depending on the socio economic conditions, location, diet, and customs of the Mongolians. Aim: To determine the prevalence, red blood cell morphology, and severity of anemia among adults. Method: The cross sectional study was conducted during between May 2022 and Sep 2023 and adults aged above 18 years were included. Moreover, we identified anemia cases based on the laboratory test results and determined the anemia severity grade. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS software. Result: Overall, (6.7%) of participants were anemic: (9.9%) of women and (2.8%) of men. The distribution by severity was: mild anemia (66.7%), moderate anemia (30%), and severe anemia (3.3%). Among women of reproductive age, prevalence was higher, whereas in men, anemia prevalence increased with age. Regionally, the Central region showed the highest prevalence, while other regions varied. Analysis of anemia by red blood cell morphology showed that normocytic anemia accounted for (51.6%), hypochromic anemia 66%, and mean hemoglobin concentration hypochromic (53.6%). Moderate and severe anemia was more common in women than men. Conclusion Anemia was detected in (6.7%) of the total study population, (9.9%) of females, and (2.8%) of males were anemic. Of those with anemia, (66.7%) had mild anemia, (30%) had moderate anemia, and (3.3%) had severe anemia. Moderate and severe anemia were more common in females than in males.

Introduction: The complete blood count (CBC) is a frequently performed laboratory test today. This study evaluated the effects of temperature and sample storage time on parameters of CBC which could produce misleading results of clinical significance. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, CBC was checked in 20 randomly selected out-patients and baseline measurements were analyzed using the XN-2000 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) fully automated hematology analyzer. CBC was done all samples of storage at room temperature. Values were checked at time intervals of 0, 6, and 24 hr. Results: Among CBC parameters, white blood cell, red blood cell, hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), neutrophils and lymphocytes were stable at time up to 6 h. Hematocrit increased between 0 and 24 hours, averaging 41.5% and 45.2%, respectively. MCV, RDW-SD, and RDW-CV increased between 0 and 24 hours. The mean value was statistically significant. There were 85.6fL/ 93.4fL (p<0.001), 40.7fL /48.2fL (p<0.001), 13.1% and 14.2% (p<0.05), respectively.
However, the MCHC was affected by time differences. (p <0.001 at 0 and 24 hours, p <0.001 at 3 and 24 hours). Platelet PDW, MPV, and P-LCR values increased between 0 and 24 h, respectively. Conclusion Whole blood samples were stored at room temperature for 24 hours for CBC tests, there were statistically significant differences in the size of red blood cells and platelets.

Background: In the world the second out of top 5 diseases is gastroentorogical diseases, particularly hepatocholecystic diseases. LoniceraaltaicaPall, Menthaarvensis are contained in “Antomen” and were used in traditional medicine hepatocholecystic inflamations, oedema, gastric diseases. Objective: To study Antomen’s effect on rats with acute hepatic inflamation. Methods: 40 wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were divided into 4 groups: healthy, control, with standard treatment and antomen’s treatment. Group1 rats were fed with normal standard diet for a week.Group 2 rats (control rats were injected into abdomen with CCL40.8 mg/kg together with olive oil with dosage of 1:1. Control rats were given orally 0.9%NaCl with dosage of 0.8 mg/kg). Group 3 ( rats were injected into abdomen with CCL40.8 mg/kg together with olive oil with dosage of 1:1. Group 3 rats were given orally Carsil with dosage of 40 mg/kg). The last group (rats were injected into abdomen with CCL40.8 mg/kg together with olive oil with dosage of 1:1. Group 4 rats were given orally antomen 200 mg/kg) The experiment continued for a week and on eighth day GPT, GOT and histopathological tests were done. Results:From the result of the study it was determined the preparation has no toxicity. There were no any differences observed in movements, appetite, and color of skin in mise. Group 4 rats were compared with control rats and indications such as GPT- 25.9%, GOT-38%, alkaline phosphatase-22,1% were decreased. Conclution: It can be clearly shows that antomen preparation has hepatoprotective effect.
