Abstract: Numerous researches conducted in Russia, Bulgaria, Japan, and China on B.pubescens, B. pendula, B.rezniczenkoana (Litv) Schischk, B.humilis Schrank, B.mandshurica Rgl Nakai found that birch barks and leaves contain antioxidants and they have anti-cancer, anti-fungi, antibac- terial and anti-inflammatory properties, protect liver and promote bile secretion. Flat leaved birch (B.platyphylla Sukacz) cortex contains betulin and lupeol of triterpenoids and it’s leaves contain flavonoid and polyphenol compounds. The amounts of compounds found in the cortex are smaller than leaves. Specifically, the amount of flavonoid in leaves is more contained than the that of cortex and leaf buds. In any pharmacology study of new medicines, determination and evaluation of toxicity is the first priority. According to scientific evidences that birch leaves are considered to have less toxins. Not many studies have been conducted on determining toxicity of birch leaves in Mongolia. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to study the species of birches, hippolytii birch (B.hippolytii. Sukacz) and flat leaved birch (B.platyphylla. Sukacz), that were noted to have medical properties in traditional medications and identify their acute toxicity using dry extract and determine mortality dosage (LD₅₀) on animals. Research materials and methods: Evaluation of the acute toxicity of birch leaves was conducted in Pharmacology laboratory of Monos group’s Drug Research Institute between June 19, 2020 and August 10. In this research, 150-204 g of WISTAR breed non-linear 44 white rats were used and 20 g of B.Hippolytii’s dry extract and 20 g of B. Platyphylla ‘s dry extract were injected.
The experiments to determine the toxicity of dry extracts of B. hippolytii and B. platyphylla (LD₅₀) were conducted according to Litchfield and Wilcoxon’s method and subcutaneous injects were per formed in the pelvic area of the rats. Results of determining acute toxicity level The experiments to determine the acute toxicity level of the birch’s dry extracts followed Litchfield and Wilcoxon’s method with 2-stage. LD₅₀ level was determined from the first stage of the research using G.N.Pirshen’s method and the toxicity level was identified using K.K.Sidorov’s toxicity categorization.
From the acute toxicity research, no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL), animal daily dosage and human daily dosage (experimental) were determined. LD₅₀ 2950 mg/kg was determined as a result of acute toxicity research of B.hippolytii and B.platyphilla leaves’ dry extract.

Abstract: The birch leaves were used as a substitute for birch bark, buds and chaga of birch in traditional medicine because the birch leaves are considered to be less toxic. Numerous researches conducted in Russia, Bulgaria, Japan, and China on B.pubescens, B. pendula, B.Rezniczenkoana (Litv) Schischk, B.humilis Schrank, and B.mandshurica Rgl Nakai found that birch barks and leaves contain antioxidants and they have anti-cancer, anti-yeast, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, liver protective and bile secretion induction properties. The studies conducted on animals with diseases showed that the birch leaves had anti-inflammatory properties on the gastric mucosa during acute stress, as well as anti-biliary and giardiasis. The birch leaf phytopreparations experimentations used on animals showed reduced peripheral tissue insulin resistance and lowered blood sugar. Mongolian traditional medicinal journals noted that the birch barks are used to treat inflammatory acute diseases. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effects of two species of birch leaves on blood sugar and antioxidant activities in diabetes-induced rats. The study materials and methods: The study was conducted in the Pharmacology Research Laboratory of the Monos Group’s Institute of Pharmacology. 40 WISTAR, non-linear white rats weighing 150-204 g were used in the experiments. Dry extract of birch leaves of the two species (Alloxan monohydrate Tokyo Chemical Industry LTD), IGM-100 3A blood glucose meter (Blood glucose test meter, Infopia LTD, Brussels Belgium) and sugar test (Blood glucose test strip only, province, China) were used for the experiment. Lenzen’s (2008) method was used to induce Alloxan diabetes in the rats and the antioxidant properties were determined by the antioxidant activity kit (Rat Malondialchehyche Elisa KIT, cat. № EKRAT- 0266, Jilin). Study Result: The blood glucose level of the control group with diabetes lowered from 31.5 mmol/l to 17.1 mmol/l in 14 days. As for the B.platyphylla Sukacz group, the blood glucose level reduced to 6.3 mmol/l and the B.hippolytii. Sukacz group’s blood glucose level reduced to 6.9 mmol/l in 14 days.
The study results showed that B.hippolytii Sukacz birch leaves and B.platyphilla Sukacz birch leaves’ extracts reduced the maximum level of MDA dilution (4.8 nmol/ml) of B.hippolytii Sukacz and B.platyphilla Sukacz groups by 33.9% and 53.5% respectively. This suggests that the birch leaves had antioxidant effect. Conclusion B.hippolytii Sukacz birch leaves and B. platyphilla (Sukacz) birch leaves lowered the blood glucose level and had antioxidant properties on diabetes.

Abstract: Diabetes is describe as a disease of the thirst (undaasah) in the four foundations of traditional drug (Kh. Tumbaa, 1991).
There are drugs such as Jur Ur-4, Sopagi-14, Yunva-4 and Usu-3 used for thirst disease. One of the main medicines used in Mongolian traditional drug is “Usu-3”. This is drug with 3 ingredients (Coriandrum sativum L.), (Inula helenium L.), (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). Each of these ingredients were studied indivudually, but not studied in combination. Purpose: To study liver protection effects and toxicity of the “Usu-3” traditional drug in the pathological diabetic model. Methods: The experiment were performed using acute and chronic toxicity study by Organization economic cooperation development (OECD 423), effect of antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic on the alloxan induced diabetic milletus.

BackgroundTraditional Mongolian Medicine has a history of over 5000 years. Scientific development of TM hasstarted in 1959. Since 1999 Mongolia was categorized by WHO as a country having an Integrativesystem of TM- officially recognized and incorporated into all areas of health care provision, TMMresearch has been following key objectives of National R&D programs.AimIn order to assess the situation of TMM development we have conducted this study based on last10 years’ research done.Ìaterial and MethodsDocument study- we have selected key TMM’s R&D project implementers’ archive and humanresources documents.Descriptive and Analytic methods- a survey of 32 questions evaluating participation of TMMprofessionals in R&D work were conducted. Also, to clarify the point of view about TMM’s R&D6 focus group meetings with different level participants, such as professional committee, policymakers and research workers as well as health care providers, were organized.ResultsFrom 2004-2013, there are 28 projects implemented on TMM, 43% accomplished by TMMRTC,32.8% of which is resulting in raw materials standardization and technology study, related clinicalstudies standing 20% out of all studies done on TMM matter. These numbers are confirmed bysurvey and focus group interviews, more than 50% of participants willing to conduct a clinical studyand expressing difficulties such as lack of knowledge of methodology, policy support and revenue.Conclusions:1. TMM R&D has a potential growth due to human resources capacity. Practitioners are leastinvolved in R&D, due to lack of knowledge of methodology and revenue.2. There were 28 projects implemented on TMM matter, most of these are basic studies, fewerclinical studies done, resulting in pharmacopeia monographs and technological guidelines.

Objective: In this study it was aimed to demonstrate the hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic potentials of Agrypum extract on alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Materials and methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats of weights between 140 g were used for the study and divided into three groups of six rats each. The rats of the non-diabetic control group were given 1 ml of distilled water daily. Two other groups induced with diabetes using alloxan by a single dose administration of 120 mg/kg body weight (BW); one of these diabetic rat groups were treated with seeds of this plant (Agrypum) extract daily at 1.5 ml/100 g BW for 4 weeks while the other group was left untreated. Blood samples were collected and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) and glucose levels were assayed. Results: After four weeks of treatment, data indicated significant reductions in BW, blood glucose, TG, TC and LDL levels of diabetic rats treated with seeds of this plant (Agrypum) extract compared to the non-treated group. The treated diabetic rats also indicated significantly higher HDL levels compared to the non-treated group. Conclusion: Treatment of diabetic rats with the seeds of this plant (Agrypum) extract lowered blood glucose, TG, TC and LDL levels and increased the HDL level. This shows that the extract has both hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects.

Introduction. Garidi-5, a traditional medicine composed of 5 herbs including Terminalia chebula Retz., Aconitum Kusnezoffii Reichb., Acorus calamus L., Saussurea lappa L., and musk of Moschus moschiferus, has been used in traditional Mongolian medicine as an analgesic and antibacterial medicine. The present work was undertaken to evaluate the traditional drug Garidi-5 for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.Materials and Methods. The method of Winter et al. was used to study acute inflammation. Rats in groups of five each were treated with vehicle, Garidi-5 (20, 80 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) and Indometacin (10 mg/kg) one hour prior to Carrageenan injection. 0.1 ml of 1% Carrageenan was injected into the subplantar tissue of left hind paw of each rat. Swelling of carrageenan injected foot was measured at 0, 0.5, 2, 4 h using Plethysmometer (UGO Basile, Italy)). The right hind paw was injected with 0.1 ml of vehicle.Results. The Garidi-5 (20, 80 and 200 mg/kg) significantly (P<0.01) inhibited carrageenan induced rat paw edema as compared to control group. Maximum inhibition of paw edema was observed with Garidi- 5 (80 and 200 mg/kg) at 4 h when compared to the control group (Tab.1). In assay data, the TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 secretion in serum were highly elevated by carrageenan induction but administration of Garidi-5 signifi cantly reduced serum secretion of inflammatory mediatorsas compared to vehicle group (Tab. 2).Conclusion. In conclusion, Traditional drug Garidi-5 have anti-in flammatory properties. The potential efficacy of Garidi-5 to treat inflammation is based in a part on the hy pothesis that it will suppress the proinflammatory cytok ines resulting in less oedema.

IntroductionAH is one of the widest spread diseases, as well as the leading cause of mortality in Mongolia. Even though the AH is well studied throughout the world, with no significant results in health complications caused by AH in different organs and systems, there is a necessity to study the use of other methods in hypertension treatment, such as Mongolian traditional medicine for an adequate management of hypertension, in order to extend the choices of treatments by combining harmless natural multicompound drugs prepared by ancient mongolo-tibetian prescriptions with Chinese acupuncture and other therapy methods such as massage, bloodletting, cupping etc.GoalThe authors have analyzed 260 patient records of hypertension that have been treated only with MTM treatment methods in MONGEM MTM hospital, in order to define: 1) the classification of arterial hypertension according to theory of disease in MTM ;2) the classification of arterial hypertension according to theory of cold and hot in MTM;3) The results of MTM treatments on hypertension.Methods and MaterialsWe have conducted this study by document review and case study by analyzing 260 patient records of “MONGEM” traditional medicine hospital and research center.ResultsAccording to our study almost 80% of arterial hypertension cases start as a hot disease and change into cold disease. Our research results have also shown that 90% of hypertension can be classified into congested, interdependent state of disease and that treatment by MTM methods of combined disease with consideration of changes in hot and cold states is efficient for relieving arterial hypertension.ConclusionOur study has concluded that carefully diagnosed hypertension using MTM disease and disorder classification, and treated with accordingly chosen methods of MTM treatment such as multi-compound drugs, mild and rough techniques, nutrition and behavioral lifestyle changes combined with Chinese acupuncture, gives satisfactory results in healing arterial hypertension, thus providing safe, efficient, affordable and accessible treatment choices for people.
