		                        			Background:
		                        			 There is an attitude to prefer bio preparation made from raw materials of plants, animals and minerals to medicines made under synthetic method in today’s world. Also, traditional Mongolian medicine is rising and studying in detail medicinal plants which are used in traditional Mongolian medicine from ancient time. As well as it interested in defining dependence between substances and its biological activity. 
Therefore, we have chosen Dracocephalum foetidum Bge which has been used for the treatment of various inflammatory conditions such as oral cavity diseases, rheumatic edema and wounds. 
In addition the leaves and flowers of Dracocephalum foetidum Bge are used as traditional medicine among Mongolian nomads to wash their faces and hands to prevent bacterial and fungal infections. The flowers of the plant are used for fever and suppurative diseases. 
There have been few studies on D. foetidum, and the only report on chemical constituents, mainly focused on the essential oil components that are effective against bacteria. Therefore, it is important to study the specific chemical characteristics and physiological roles of constituents of D. foetidum. 
The sediments of the genus are found in the northern hemisphere of Lamiaceae, which grows over 60 
species. In Mongolia, there are 17 species, which are abundant in the northern and eastern parts of the country.

		                        			 “Tanjur” is the greatest sutra written on thick Chinese muutuu paper with red nature 
dust paint size 22,7 x 71,8 cm and has 107839 pages. It is the largest collection of ten 
great and small sciences (philosophy, technology, logic, medicine, philology, astrology, 
model dance, poetics, Abhidarma, and composition) created by ancient Indian and 
Tibetan scientists and panditas. The Mongolian dust paint printed Tanjur had been 
translated from Tibetan into Mongolian by over 200 translators under the supervision 
of reincarnated Janjaa Rolbiidorj and Shireet Luvsandambiinyam between 1741 and 
1742 and had been printed in Beijing between 1742 and 1749. 
To print “Mongolian Tanjur” from blocks, 2160.9 ounces of silver were used. The 
“Mongolian Tanjur” contains 8 Indian Ayurvedic medical books. As a result of this 
research, we have briefly explained each of the 8 Ayurvedic medical books. Namely: 
1. “One Hundred Medical Preparations” composed by Nagarjuna Acharya, 
2. “Medical 
Advice for Longevity” composed by Nagarjuna Acharya, 
3. “Ritual Ava Medicine” 
composed by Nagarjuna Acharya, 
4. “Essence of Eight Branches” written by master 
Vagbhata, 
5. “An Explanation of Medical Practices called “The Essence of the Eight 
Branches” written by master Vagbhata, 
6. “A Commentary on the Essence of the 
Eight Branches called Rays of Moonlight on the Meaning of the Words” written by the 
Kashmiri Candranandana, 
7. “Lexicon of Medical Terms from the Commentary on the 
Essence of Eight Branches” written by the Kashmiri Candranandana and 
8.“A powerful 
healer to treats all diseases and promotes physical strength” written by Sivadasa. 
Ayurveda is perceived as one of the most ancient and well-documented systems 
of medicine, equally relevant in modern times. Its holistic approach, whether for 
healthy individuals or diseased ones, remains unparalleled. Prevention of disease 
and promotion of health are the main objectives of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an ancient 
medicine system of the Indian subcontinent. It is said to have originated in India 
about 5000 years back. The word Ayurveda is a conjugation of two Sanskrit words, 
“ayus,” meaning “life,” and “Veda,” meaning “science,” thus, it literally means the 
'science of life. Unlike other medicinal systems, Ayurveda focuses more on healthy 
living than the treatment of diseases.

		                        			Abstract
		                        			Secondary metabolites present in the plants are predominantly responsible for treating various ailments. Secondary metabolites are also called as plant constituents or natural compounds which exert significant pharmacological and toxicological effects in humankind. The chemical compounds present in the plant sources are categorized as primary and secondary metabolites based on the chemical structure and biosynthetic derivation. These substances are called plants secondary metabolites. One of the most important of secondary metabolites is Tannins. Tannins are phenolic compounds, secondary metabolites of plants widespread in terrestrial and aquatic natural environments. As they can be found in plenty of plants and herbs, they have been traditionally used for medicinal and other purposes, such as the leather industry. This fact is explained by the fact that they exert plenty of different biological activities and, thus, they entail a great potential to be used in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industry.
Among the biological activities of tannins, the most relevant ones are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, cardioprotective, healing and antimicrobial (antiviral and antibacterial) 
Consequently, this review article is directed towards the description of the biological activities exerted by tannins as they could be further extracted from by-products of the agri-food industry to produce high-added-value products.

		                        			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.

to the univariable analysis, every 1 year experience was associated with 9% decreased risk of 
hematoma development. (HR=0.91, 95% CI 0.84-0.99, p<0.05). Finally, Kaplan-Meier estimation 
was showed that hematoma free survival is higher in more experienced years and patients who 
had subpectoral muscle.(log rank p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). 
Capsule contracture was occurred in 38 patients (5.3%) and median time to capsule contracture 
was 10 months (IQR 3; 27). According to the univariable analysis, every 1 year increase of surgical 
experience is related to 9% decreased risk of capsule contracture (HR=0.81, 95% CI 0.75-0.88, 
p<0.001), and more textured implant type is associated with less capsule contracture (HR=0.47, 
95% CI 0.34-0.66, p<0.001). 
Multivariable hazard regression was revealed that implant type (HR=0.55, 95% 0.33-0.90, p<0.05) 
and surgical time (HR=1.00, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, p<0.001) were independently associated with 
capsule contracture after breast augmentation surgery (Table 4). Kaplan-Meier estimation was 
determined that capsule contracture free survival is higher in more experienced years and 
patients who had more textured implant and subpectoral muscle implant (log rank p<0.001, 
p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			For breast augmentation surgery, implant type is independent predictor of capsule 
contracture and surgical experience is predictor for both hematoma and capsule contracture. 
Therefore, above mentioned predictors should be considered to prevent complications related 
to breast augmentation implant surgery.

		                        			Introduction:
		                        			Determining stages of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease is essential for clinical practice such as 
decision making on medical treatment, setting the interval of follow-up examination for its complication, 
screening intervals for hepatocellular carcinoma. 
		                        		
		                        			Goal:
		                        			We compared non-invasive fibrosis markers among the patients with chronic hepatitis Delta. 
		                        		
		                        			Materials and Methods:
		                        			Totally 70 patients with chronic hepatitis D enrolled into this study. The blood samples were examined 
for complete blood count, liver function test and serum M2BPGi level. Non-invasive markers such 
as AAR, APRI, Fib-4 scores were calculated. Those with AAR >1, APRI >0.7, FIB-4 >1.45 were 
considered with advanced fibrosis. All patients underwent liver stiffness measurement using FibroScan 
M2 probe. The cutoff values of FibroScan for advanced fibrosis were 9 kPa for patient with normal 
transaminase level and 11 kPa for patients with elevated transaminase. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			Advanced fibrosis was observed in 25.7%, 38.6% and 38.6% by AAR, APRI and Fib-4 score, 
respectively. When cut-off levels of serum M2BPGi for advanced fibrosis was 2.2 COI, 35.7% had 
advanced fibrosis. FibroScan tests showed 34.4% had advanced fibrosis. The AUROC of M2BPGi 
were 0.894 and 0.827 for predicting advanced fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. 
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Serum M2BPGi and FibroScan would be reliable diagnostic tool for identifying liver 
fibrosis in Mongolian patients with chronic hepatitis D.
