Background: Between 2017 and 2021, the prevalence of obesity among children aged 2-19 years reached 19.7%, affecting approximately 14.7 million children, with rates of 12.7% among those aged 2-5 years and 22.2% among those aged 6-11 years. Globally, dental caries is among the most common non-communicable diseases, often leading to pain, infection, tooth loss, and reduced quality of life. In Mongolia, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has increased markedly since 2010, beginning at an early age. In 2018, one in six children under five years and one in eight adolescents were overweight. Aim: This study aimed to assess selected non-communicable disease risk factors among children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, using Family Health Centers across all nine districts. A total of 622 children aged 6–17 years were included. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and waist circumference) were obtained, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Oral health examinations were performed to determine the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. Nutritional status was classified based on age and sex-specific growth charts into normal weight, overweight, and obesity categories. Results: Among the participants, 10.29% (n=64) were overweight and 9.97% (n=62) were obese. Overweight was more prevalent among girls, whereas obesity was relatively higher among boys (p<0.001). Regarding dental caries, 37.6% (n=234) of participants had no caries (DMFT=0), 48.1% (n=299) had mild caries (DMFT=1-2), and 14.3% had moderate to severe caries (DMFT≥3). The overall prevalence of dental caries was 62.38%, with significant variation by age group: highest in children aged 6-9 years (69.9%) and lowest in those aged 15-17 years (46.1%) (p<0.001). No statistically significant association was found between BMI categories and dental caries status. Although normal weight predominated in the DMFT=0 and DMFT=1-2 groups, logistic regression adjusted for age and sex showed no significant relationship between BMI and dental caries. However, children aged 6-9 years had a significantly higher likelihood of having dental caries compared to those aged 15-17 years (OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.24-0.63, p<0.001). Conclusions 1. Among the risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), overweight and obesity were highly prevalent among children, with one in every five children classified as overweight or obese. The prevalence among male children was approximately two times higher than that among female children (p<0.001). 2. The prevalence of dental caries among the study participants was 90.7%, with a mean caries intensity of 6.4, indicating high level of severity. Age-group analysis demonstrated that children aged 6–10 years exhibited the highest prevalence and severity of dental caries, with a prevalence of 93.5% and a mean caries intensity of 7.3.

Background: Childhood overweight and obesity are important public health concerns. Assessing weight status among children presenting with fractures may provide preliminary data for further investigation of a possible association between body weight and injury. Aim: To estimate the proportion of overweight and obesity among children aged under 18 years diagnosed with fractures and compare weight-status categories by sex. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 30 children presenting with a fracture to the outpatient clinic of Mongolia–Japan Hospital between June and September 2026. Weight status was classified using age- and sex-adjusted BMI-for-age. We summarized continuous variables as mean±standard deviation, median, quartiles, and minimum–maximum values; we reported categorical variables as counts and percentages. The Mann–Whitney U test and Fisher’s exact test were used, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 30 children, 20 (66.7%) were boys and 10 (33.3%) were girls. Eighteen children (60.0%) were classified as overweight/obese. Mean BMI was 20.58±3.44 kg/m² and median BMI was 19.82 kg/m². Mean BMI was higher in the overweight/obesity group than in the normal-weight group (22.00±3.55 vs 18.46±1.90 kg/m²; p=0.0092). Sex was not statistically associated with weight-status category (p=1.000). Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children under 18 years of age diagnosed with bone fractures was 60.0%. The body mass index (BMI) was statistically significantly higher in children with overweight and obesity than in those with normal weight. Sex was not statistically associated with excess body weight. Further studies with larger sample sizes, a control group, and bone mineral density measurements are needed to determine the relationship between excess body weight, bone health, and fracture risk in children with bone fractures.

Background: The aging of the world’s population will determine global health trends. According to the 2021 report of the Capital City Health Department, the average life expectancy of the Mongolian population is 71.3 years (male 67.3, female 76.7), the difference between male and female life expectancy is 9.4 years, and elderly people aged 60 and over account for 8.1% of the total population. The report also shows that 6.5% of all outpatient visits are for people aged 60-64, and 9% are for people aged 65 and over, which means that they do not receive adequate health care services. Therefore, it is important to increase the access to and quality of health care services provided to the elderly in order to improve their health and quality of life. Comorbidities that are common among the elderly are one of the pressing issues in the health sector. Aim: We aimed to study the prevalence and risk factors of multi-morbidities among older adults (aged sixty years and over) in urban and rural areas. Materials and Methods: To accomplish our aim, we conducted 156 lifestyle related questionnaires and 18 health related questionnaires among 720 older people in Ulaanbaatar city and rural areas, and created the database. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the quantitative influence of factors using single and multi-factor linear (β-coefficient) and binary logistic regression (odds ratio, CI 95%) methods, and p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The Apriori algorithm in SPSS was used to determine the relationship between multiple chronic diseases in the elderly people. Results: The prevalence of comorbidity was higher in urban areas (48.1%) and rural areas (51.9%), and ageing (urban areas OR: 2.45, 95% CI: 0.9-6.2; rural areas OR: 6.35, 95% CI: 1.47-27.4, P<0.01) was a risk factor of multi-morbidities. Multimorbidity is defined as the presence of 2 or more chronic conditions, and 3, 4, and 5 chronic conditions were co-occurred to older adults with chronic conditions, 28.7% (165). 11 common patterns of relationships in urban areas and 18 common patterns of relationships in rural areas (support (A→B)>3%, confidence (A→B)>30%, lift (A→B)>1) were determined. Conclusion Multimorbidity was different in urban and rural areas, 11 common patterns in urban areas and 18 common patterns in rural areas were determined. It has shown that the prevalence of multimorbidity was different in urban and rural areas.

Abstract Bloodletting is a medical tradition that probably began in prehistoric times. Its rationale was based on the belief that removing blood eliminated “impure blood”. From antiquity until the beginning of the 20th century, bloodletting was considered a panacea, and it was the most common and versatile form of medical treatment. Not only was it believed to cure the sick, but also to promote vigor in the healthy. Some of the antient books of traditional medicine noted that the bloodletting tools is very importance when opening a vessel in order to bleed. Traditional medical bloodletting tools are one of the oldest archeological findings, and researchers have found many types of bloodletting tools in our country dated back thousands of years. Therefore, research on bloodletting tools an important component of bloodletting therapy, is of theoretical and practical importance. The location, indications, and tools of bloodletting therapy and bloodletting vessels are described in detail in the “Subsequent Tantra” of “Four Medical Tantras”, and its commentaries: Dar mo sman rams pa blo bzang chos grags “Dka’ phreng mun sel sgron”, Sde srid sangs rgyas rgya mtsho “Be edurya sngon po” and Luvsanchoinpil “Gces btus snying nor” so on. The first Mongolian surgical work is directly related to the historical tradition of bloodletting therapy. It is now known that the stone needles, which was discovered in the 3000th millennium BCE, may have originated from the Mongolia used to use in medicine as bloodletting tools. In the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, Mongolian medical bloodletting tools were passed down through India and Tibet medical books, and later the science of surgery and bloodletting therapy became more sophisticated and comprehensive knowledge. At the same time, it is clear that there is every reason to say that it has been enriched by the medical knowledge of the neighboring countries and improved by their own experience.

Essential oils have evoked interest as sources of natural products, which their potential uses an alternative remedies for the treatment of many infectious disease and to restore healing mouth sores or kill oral bacteria. Gum disease is one of the major factor for systemic disease, which to recommend the latest study of world medical scientist. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity and wound healing effect of the GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash in rats. Treatment was by topical application of the GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash onto wound surface for 21 days. Wistar rats divided into 2 groups of 15 animals each and anesthesia was administered. The dorsal area of skin of the each rats was shaved and clipped fully-thickness 10x10mm skin wound was made. The test group was treated with GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash, which control group untreated. A better healing pattern was observed in rats treated with GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash compared with the control group. There was a significant reduction in wound length and closure rats was faster treated by GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash compared with control group. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that an increase of epithelial cells in wound lesions treated with GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash wish as compared untreated control group. Conclusions: The present study revealed that GINGITA® natural essential oils mouth wash may be effective in stimulating the enclosure of wounds in sort period time.

BACKGROUND: Assessing the customer’s satisfaction of the health care services, professional organizations suggest the special methods to study what they want and don’t want and how much can pay for the service. For this purpose, we conducted the study to determine the satisfaction of the customers of Darkhan-Uul province health care organizations in 2016, according to the international experience. The survey was conducted in the Darkhan-Uul province Health Department, in general hospitals, public and private medical institutions in 2015 and 2016 respectively. On the basis of a unified methodology according to the order of the Ministry of Health No. 13 of 2014, the survey was conducted on the basis of a special questionnaire prepared in accordance with articles 22 and 23 of the Minister of Health No. 448. The results of the consumer survey, customer satisfaction in Darhan-Uul province by 2016 were higher than in 2015, a good estimate of 1.4%, an average rating of 10.4% and below was a poor estimate of 11.8%. The survey shows the need to consider the issue of equality, which is a key issue in the field of human rights, the formulation of political environments and the regulation of their situation.

Introduction: We began treatment of multi drug resistant tuberculosis first from 2003. At that time there was a 1960 cases and most of the cases were from Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan, Selenge, Tuv, Dornod provinces. From all the cases only 62% or 1058 cases were included in treatment. From that 336 patient or 19% deceased, 296 patient or 18% didn’t get a treatment. We did this study because there were never done any research or study of surgical treatment of multi drug resistant tuberculosis in Mongolia. Materials and Methods: We studied cases of patients who undergone lobectomy, since 2007. There were 48 cases of 46 patients, 2 patients surgery were done on both sides. Respondents aged between 14- 45, 25 male (52%), 23 female (48%), all patients got a first - line anti-tuberculosis treatment, such as cat-1, cat-1+cat-2 and 10 variants of these drugs. It was done based on sputum culture test results of NCCD TB surveillance and research department’s laboratory. Results: From the all patients only 77.08% had undergone surgery within the first 3 years. 92% patients were diagnosed with multi drug resistance TB only with the sputum and sputum culture test results, and the rest of the patients were diagnosed using a tissue analyses on the above tests. It was revealed that HR resistant -91.66%, HR+(Z,E,S) -3 drugs resistant -18.78%, HR+(ZSE)-4 or 5 drugs resistant. In the patients TB lesion locations was on the right upper lobe 54%, left upper lobe 31%, on a both upper lobes 85%, cavernous fibrosis tubercles 60%, combined TB lesions 77%, tubercles 21%.87.5% of total patients received a multi - drug resistant TB treatment between 7 - 24 months prior surgery. All 48 patients had a totally 69 surgeries. Surgeries included 9% pneumonectomy, 28% lobectomy, 30% Wedge resection, 23% pleurectomy decortication, 7% Wedge resection on both sides, one bilobectomy. There were no complications during the surgery but 5 of patients had an empyema after surgery. No fatal cases.Three patients out of 5 who had a surgery due to pulmonary hemorrhage developed an empyema after surgery. Drainage tubes were taken after the surgery within 2-3 months.Therewere no complication and escalations in the patients who received a surgical treatment, after the surgery from 6 months to 5 years. Conclusion: In study it shows that surgical treatment is effective to do after 6 months of anti-tuberculosis drug treatment in multi -drug resistant TB patients.Also it shows that combining of medical and surgical treatment is healing up to 98% in the patients who were rightly chosen according to surgical indications.This research result shows that in our country multi - drug resistant TB surgical treatment complication is only 10.41%, which is below in the other countries who have same anti-tuberculosis drug treatment.

Introduction The use of phytochemical preparations is being promoted an supported worldwide. In order to investigate and confirm the usage of phytochemical preparations that are widely used in the traditional medicine, there is an urgent need to complete a chemical, phytochemical and clinical study for those medicinal preparations. Goal To investigate the effects of “Antitoxic preparation” on the test animal with previously developed acute hepatotoxic infection by LPS. Materials and Methods A pathology model of the acute liver infection was developed on a total of 50 Vister rats, weighing between 200 and 250 gr. The test animals were categorized info five five further groups, e.g. healthy, control, comparison and administered with 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of “Antitoxic preparation”. The preparation for each group was individually and orally administeredfor a period of ten days. On day 11, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th groups were administered 5 μg of LPS and 300 mg/kg of GaIN calculated in 2 ml of physiogial solution was injected in the abdomed of the test animal. After 8 hours, AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, level of MDA, cytokine levels such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 contained in the blood plasma of test animals were analysed. Results A comparison between measurement of “Antitoxic preparation” group and control group has indicated that the AST was 24.9-30.8%, ALT 23.8-27.6%, Poenzyme activation was reduced by 29.1-32.6%, of cholesterol by 13.2-19.9%, of tryglyceride 23.4-30.5%, MDA in plasma 8.8-20.9%, MDA in urine 11.3- 22.9%, also reduction of TNF-α in plasma by 17.5-27.3% and IL-1β17.7-19.8% respectively. Also, it was determined that the cytokines activating the acute liver infection (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10) were impacted after administering the preparation and infection process was suppressed. Conclusions: 1. The pathological model for chronic toxic liver infection developed on the test animal indicated that “Antitoxic preparation” had a reducing effect on cholesterol, tryglycerides, inhibitory effect on activation of fat oxidation, choleretic, antioxidant, reducing effect on ALT, AST activation, reducing the destruction of liver cells and followed by hepatoprotective action. 2. “Antitoxic preparation” was effective in impacting the cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10) that activate the acute liver infection and also suppressing effect on infection process.

Goal: Research impact of “Sharkh - 2” preparation on pathological model of burning wound which was formed on experimental animal. Material and methods of the research: The experiment and research was made on pathological model of burning wound of 45 rats of Vistar breed on the basis of lab and material base of Institute of Traditional Medicine of School of Medicine, University of Medical Science, University of Medical Science in Huhhot city in Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, National Corporation of Technology and Production of Traditional Medicine and “Sharkh - 2” preparation was applied by thin layer once on wound. Result: Wound area was decreased by 9.5% in control group in the 14th day and by 38.5% n the 28th day. In comparing group of “Sharkh - 2” with control group, there was not invisible and considerable result in the seventh day of the exerpeiment. But in “Sharkh-2” preparation, wound area decreased by 7.7% in the 14th day and by 62.9% in the 28th day. In comparison with control group, leukocyte of animals which used “Sharkh -2” preparation is less by 12.1% in the 7th day of the experiment, by 28.1% in the 14th day, 38.2% in the 28th day, sedimentation speed of red cell is less by 8.2% in the 7th day, by 12.3% in the 14th day and by 31% in the 28th day and TNF- α is not considerable I the 7th day of the experiment, 10.4% in the 14th day and by 13% in the 28th day. Conclusion: “Sharkh - 2” preparation which was extracted from raw materials of traditional medicine as Pulsatilla flavescens and Rosa aciccularis has impact to improve cure of burning wound of experimental animals.
