Background: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and approximately 5% of new cases are diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Since 2019, a shorter treatment regimen comprising 6–7 oral medications has been introduced for MDR-TB management. Although some of the newer drugs used in short regimens are associated with significant side effects, their potential nephrotoxicity has not been fully studied. Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a primary method for evaluating renal function. Objective: Evaluation changes in renal filtration function during the course of short and long treatment regimens for MDR-TB. Goals: To evaluate changes in GFR at different stages of treatment both regimens, and to compare the treatment outcomes between long and short regimens. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted among 103 patients diagnosed with MDR-TB and treated at the TB Dispensary of Bayangol District Health Center between 2017-2024. GFR was calculated using MDRD equation. Data statistically analyzed using SPSS 23.0. Results: Of the study participants, 71 (66.35%) received the long treatment regimen, while 32 (29.90%) received the short regimen. The mean age was 34.81 years for the long-regimen group and 39.59 years for the short-regimen group. In the long-regimen group, the mean eGFR (mL/ min/1.73m²) was 90.016 at the start, 75.82 at the mid-point, and 77.23 at the end of treatment. In the short-regimen group, the respective eGFR values were 68.47, 68.2, and 72.5. Additionally, 54.92% of participants in the long-regimen group received injectable treatment. Conclusion eGFR values were lower in the short treatment regimen group compared to the long regimen group. While the cure rate was higher in the short regimen group, the mortality rate was also significantly higher. Therefore, treatment success cannot be attributed solely to the type of regimen used.

The microbiologist, who aged 44 man has work with glander DNA extraction between January and March at 2022, was developed sumptoms with fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness, cut throat, cough at 4 March, 2022. On March 7, he had tested Covid-19 and the result was negative. He was given 1gr tefazoline by eight-time interval for two days. Despite completing the therapy, episodes of fever and headache increased. A medical evaluation, which included MRI test was no disorder was developed. On March 12, painful with leg and developed muscle pain. He continued to difficulty to walk and cough, fever and weakness. On March 13, he has admitted hospital with diagnoses pneumonia.
He had continued sign with pneumonia in both lung, fever, infiltration with right leg, cough, headache, and glandule node in hospital. By PCR test, glander DNA was detected in sputum in National Center for Zoonotic Diseases laboratory. He recovered 20 days in hospital.
He has 12 days incubation period and infection route was by worked with glander strain and it was pneumonia form with laboratory-acquired human glanders.
Human glander case is rare in Mongolia. Three human glander cases had registered in 1966, 1972, 1977 among prison’s horse herder in Mongolia.

GoalTo evaluate the quality, results, and processing of cytology analyses of early detection program ofuterine cervical cancer implemented in Mongolia, which based on Pap test, at Ulaanbaatar city level.Materials and MethodsInformation was collected from the databases of the recalling system of screening program of theCancer registration and information unit of the NCC of Mongolia and districts pathology laboratoreis.Statistical significant level of 1.96 (95% CI) andthe margins of error 0.05 were considered andsample size was calculated by using the information that 10% of unsatisfied results appear onquality assurance of international level. Thus calculations were madefortotal of 1723 (585 positiveand negative 1138) samples, by collecting 287smears from each district.At the district level all the selected slides were reviewed blindly and compared to the previouscytological conclusion. Diagnostic validity was defined by calculating parameters such as specificityand sensitivity, positive and negative predicted values. The Kappa index criteriais used for statisticalcalculation of the cytological diagnosis conclusion matches.ResultsThe target group women coverage of cervical cancer screening program is 40.8%. Out of all positiveresults of early screening cytology, 77% were at an early stage and 23% were at an advanced stage.Thus positive signs were showed with increased detection results in early stage of uterine cervicalcancer (P = 0.05). Positive results of Pap test were follows; ASCUS (53.2%), ASC-H (10.0%), LSIL(19.2%), HSIL (13.4%), CIS (3.4%), and SCC (0, 8%). Out of total slides, 86.7% were as satisfactory.The test results conducted at the district level were90.1% of sensitivity, 88.8% of specificity and9.9% of false negative response. The discrepancy of results of cytology test in districts and repeatedseen is 31.4% (K = 0.749; p = 0.001).ConclusionThe coverage of cervical cancer screening program that has been implementing in our country isnot enough. There are problems at the district level including severe damages of uterine cervix andincomplete diagnosis. The quality of the cytology test is relatively unsatisfied.

IndroductionThe short tandem repeats (STR) are rich source of highly polymorphic markers in the human genome. In this study, we used a commercially available multiplex STR typing kit to study 15 STR systems (D3S1358, THO1, D21S11, D18S51, Penta E, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta D, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX and FGA,) in the Mongolians population, and estimated the allele and genotype frequencies. These 15 STR loci include 2 new pentanucleotide repeat STR loci, Penta E and Penta D, so are not studied in Mongolians.GoalTo determine allele frequency of STR loci D3S1358, THO1,D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, FGA Penta E, Penta D in Mongolian population.Materials and MethodsThe liquid blood, blood stain and saliva samples were taken from 165 unrelated individuals from Mongolian. Extraction DNA: Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples by the standard method of phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol and Wizard Genomic DNA Purification kit, Promega Corporation [21], from blood stain and saliva samples QIAamp DNA micro kit, Qiagen [25], AccuPrep Genomic DNA Extration kit, Bioneer, Koreans extraction method respectively.PCR: PCR amplification was performed using 10-15 ng genomic DNA template according to manufacturer’s protocol (PowerPlex® 16 and PowerPlex® 16HS kit, Promega Corporation, USA). Typing: DNA typing was performed on the ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) using the recommended protocol. The results were analyzed by Data Collection (Version 1.1), GeneScan (Version 3.1), and Genotyper (Version 3.1) softwares (AppliedBiosystems).ResultsWe assessed forensic and population genetic studies using 15 STR loci included in s sample of 165 unrelated individuals from Mongolian. Allele frequency were listed in Table 2. Totally 20 alleles /5, 7-25/ were found from microsatellite Penta E locus and allele 11 has most frequent (0.1128). 6-16 alleles were found from Penta D locus and allele 9 has most frequent (0.3262). This result is interesting because allele 6 of Penta D locus was found rarely among other populations. But relatively higher frequency of allele 6 (0.0183) was found in Mongolian population. A population comparison based in genetic distance and genetic diversity calculated from allele frequencies of the 15 STR loci from obtained five different populations is shown the Table 3. Conclusions:1. Penta E locus was highly polymorphic, and 20 alleles were found in this Mongolians population and allele 11 was most frequent.2. Penta D locus was 20 alleles were found in this Mongolians population and allele 9 was most frequent.
