Background:
In recent years, scientists have found that certain natural compounds have significant potential in cancer
prevention and early-stage cancer treatment. Flavanones, a class of polyphenolic compounds found in plants, vegetables,
seeds, fruit peels, and flowers, have been identified to possess anticancer, antioxidant, anti- inflammatory, and antibacterial bioactivities. Cancer has become a major global challenge in terms of both economic and public health concerns.
Global statistics indicate that 22.8% of deaths are attributed to non-communicable diseases, and 16.8% are caused by
cancer, accounting for one in four and one in six deaths, respectively.
Aim :
To investigate anticancer effects of Iris Tenuifolia-derived flavanone on cancer cell lines.
Materials and Methods :
The study was conducted at the Bio-Medical Research Institute of the Mongolian National Uni
versity of Medical Sciences, investigating the effect of flavanones on cancer cell viability under in vitro conditions using
the MTT assay. In the study, colon, liver, and lung cancer cells were cultured, stabilized, and used for the experiments.
Colorectal cancer cells (MC38), liver cancer cells (HepG2), and lung cancer cells (A549) were revived, cultured, and
stabilized for use in the experimental procedures. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using Microsoft Excel
2010, and graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism 8. Differences between groups were analyzed using Student’s
t-test, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results :
We treated MC38, HepG2, and A549 cancer cells with different concentrations of flavanone (2.5 µM, 5 µM, and
10 µM) for 24 to 48 hours to evaluate cell viability. Flavanone inhibited A549 cell viability by 2.5 μM-10%, 5 μM-25%,
and 10 μM-38%, respectively. For HepG2 cells, flavanone treatment at concentrations of 5-10 µM reduced cell viability by 28–58%. No statistically significant effect on the viability of MC38 cells was observed following treatment with flavanone at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 µM. Additionally, although MC38 inhibited cell viability in a dose-de
pendent manner in cell cultures, it had a statistically significant effect at higher concentrations of 30-200 μM (p<0.01).
Conclusion
Flavanone inhibits the cancer cell viability in a dose and time dependent manner

Traditional drug Jonlon-5 have been widely used in the clinical
practice for recent years in traditional medicine. The study was
conducted on the experimental animal wistar rats by the
carrageenan induced mice paw edema (Winter et al. 1962, Vogel,
2002) methods. We performed chemical and pharmacological
investigation was based and implemented scientific research
laboratory of Institute of Traditional Medicine and Technology. The
Jonlon-5 significantly (P<0.05) inhibited carrageenan induced rat
paw edema as compared to control group. TNF-α secretion was
magnified by carrageenan injec¬tion (387.2 pg/ml). TNF-α secretion
was reduced, com¬parable to carrageenan group, as a respond to
extract administration. Administration of Jonlon-5 significantly
reduced inflammatory mediator secretion TNF-α by 20.8%, IL-1 β –
41.7%, to be close to inhibition level of Indo¬methacin
administration. Jonlon-5 significantly decreased (P<0.05) of serum
malondialdehyde (MDA) 16.5% in animal model.

Background: The prescription of Shar gaa made from the Curcuma
longa L., Tribulus terrestris L., Cortex Phellodendri L., Gardenia
jasminoides L. By reviewing a lot of relative research papers and the
pharmacological dictionaries, we summarized the conclusion that the
efficiency components of the Shar gaa extract is effective to control the
infection of bacteria and the fungi, to relieve skin inflammation and
pain.Aim:We conducted the control experiment to discuss thecontrol
effect of the Shar gaa extract to the fungi and the bacteria. Materials
and methods:We carried out susceptibility test to fungus and bacterium
using medicine dilution method and cup-plate method on the sand clan
proof agar culture and nutrient agar culture. The fungi inhibition results
show that the Shar gaa extract has the significant restrain effects to all
of experimental fungi. It has the better effects to the Microsporum
lanosum M.grpseum、T.rubrum、M. canis、C.albicans、Pityrosporum
than the 20% Ethanol control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, it has the
same affects with the CAILE extract (P>0.05). In addition, the Shar gaa
extract of high concentration has no significant difference with the one
of the low concentration. This phenomenon demonstrated the truth that
the Shar gaa extract has no concentration diversity to inhibit the fungi
(P>0.05). On the other hand, the bacterium inhibition results
demonstrate that the weak restrain effects of the Shar gaa extract.
Regard to the gram positive bacteria (mainly including the S.aureas,
Bacillus anthraci, Staphylococcus), the Shar gaa extract has the less
effect to control the bacteria than the Penicillin group (P<0.05) and to
the gram negative bacteria (the Pseudomonas) the Shar gaa extract
has the less effect to control the bacteria than the Gentamicin group
(P<0.05). Invalid of the drug-resistant E. coli and the P.mirabilis the
Shar gaa extract group. The 20% Ethanol on bacterial group had no
inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The Shar gaa extract possessed
favourable inhibitory effect to frequent fungus and relative weak
inhibitory effect to general bacterium in clinic. The research
achievement not only expanded the new type of the Shar gaa -4 tan,
but also developed the new usage of the Shar gaa-4 tan. It is to have
the potential guide significance to clinical application.

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.

Medicine has history of more than 3000 years, and it’s one of the
most valuable heritages people in the world. During this long
period, although it is still keeping itsown distinct features. Medicine
had been developed in close relationship with Indian Ayurvedic
medicine, Tibetan medicine and Chinese medicine, Hippocratic
medicine, Avicenna medicine for many centuries (for long history
period). Above mentioned medicines have the own
diagnosticmethods and treatment. The services provided by
practitioners of medicine covered the whole health-care spectrum
and dealt less satisfactorily with most of the health problems at that
time. However, researchers are facing to answer the following
questions, what is medicine, what is medical science, what criteria
should have treated in medicine by the modern time? For this
reason, we need to study how medicine had been developed in
particular part of the world especially in India, Tibetan, Greece and
etc. Furthermore, main task of the researchers is included in
identifying hypothetic criterion which is related to specific
characteristicsdifferent fields of medicine.
In addition, future perspectives and the latest achievements of
scientific research into new medicine will be presented. The study
explains the thoughts, theories and diagnostics and treatment-
methods. We expect that study will demonstrate clearly updated
(comprehensive) review of the origin and development of medical
theories thoughts. This review states traces in the history of
medicine and its special characteristics and achievements of
during the historical period.
10.Great Compendium Of Acupuncture And Moxibustion

Acupuncture and moxibustion are an important component of Traditional Mongolian
Medicine with a long history. As early as the new Stone Age in Mongolian territory,
primitive human beings used the stone needles, the earliest acupuncture
instrument, to treat diseases. The activities of human beings appeared in Mongolian
territory about 800000 years ago. We mentioned about the History of Acupuncture
and Moxibustion in the chapter one. In this time, I am going to explain how to set up
the Sect of Acupuncture and Moxibustion based on some of the Chinese medical
books between the end of 17th and the beginning of 18th centuries. Sect of
Acupuncture and Moxibustion established through the Great Compendium of
Acupuncture and Moxibustion by Yang Ju Zhou (1601), in the end of 17th and the
beginning of 18th centuries in the Western part of Mongolia. The 17-18th century,
students of Namkhaijamts, Zaya bandida and Oirad have translated as acupuncture
and moxibustion books from Chinese into a Mongolian script that is named “Tod
(one of the ancient Mongolian letters)”. A collection of acuptuncture books, the rich
inheritance of Tod and the Kalmykia nationality also translated in 1997 into Russian
and a book was printed titled “Traktati ob igloukalivanii i prijiganii – Scripture on
Moxibustion.” In 1648, the great Zaya Bandid created the Mongolian letter “Tod,”
and tried to spread it throughout Mongolia with the assistance of his students. They
translated many books from Tibetan and also translated some selected acupuncture
and moxibustion books from Chinese. From some historical facts, we see Western
Mongols willing to be independent and to have their own letters and they tried to
develop philosophy and its related sections within their own communities. It should
be understood that in 1640, 44 people including Baatar prince, Subeedei king of
Khalkh, Guush king of Khoshood aimag, Janjaa khutagt lama and the Great zaya
bandid Namkhaijamts met and set the law of Mongol Oirad with regard to to
approval rights, province border and power. Translating acupuncture and
moxibustion books from Chinese into Mongolian initiated the beginning stage of the
development of a new, understanding and theory. First of all, Chinese health
development strongly influenced the special position acupuncture occupied. For
instance there are some works such as Zheng Zi-He “Ru Men Shi Qin,” 1228, Hua
Shou “Shi Si Jing Fa Hui,” 1341, Zhu Zhen-Hen “Dan Xi Xin Fa,” 1347, and “Zhen
Jui Da Cheng,” in 1601. It is certain that the educated Mongolians had tried to
consider and develop some of these works. Under the Chinese influence a well-
known Korean doctor had written a book titled “Eastern health science dictionary,” in
the northern part of Korea. This work is the first and most classic book in northern
Korea. Even though Buddhism spread strongly in Mongolia, Western Mongols were
comprised of many types of nomads with different nationalities and genetics, so
their psychology and wisdom is different and people living in this area viewed
society from many different perspectives. The academician Ch.Dalai explained the
abovementioned matter represented by the great Zaya bandida; “It is very clear
from his state and religious leading activities that Zaya bandida viewed everything
from a central view and with wide aspects. He knew both theories of a governing
state and the religion that great Mongolian kings inherited. Therefore he is a
scientific lama who tried to implement both points of view. Unfortunately this health
science trend that was based on the above was not developed because of
Buddhism that spread strongly in all strata of Mongolian society and was snowed
under the Buddhism in Oirad 1 .” Later local research museum officer Sambuu, in
Uvs aimag, Mongolia found notes from Grandma Rolmaa or Dulmaa,
Uriankhai–etnic group in 1959, and he brought them to the library of literature
institute and gave them to Professor B. Rinchin. He took photos and wrote the
foreword and printed 500 copies of a text which was titled “Collected notes of
acupuncture,” in 1967. In his foreword he said, “Here there are many things to study
from the perspective of literature and also the difference of this inherited slang and
phrases of “Tod,” letter that was used in literature from Indian and Tibetan
literature.” Further he mentioned, “Those two volumes published are related to
many aspects, and also present many issues for our scientists and Mongolism
researchers.” This book has six volumes (some say 10) but in the above publication
it was only printed 4 and 6 volume annotations. Other notes could not be preserved
until today.
