Background: Written communication skill is of the important skills for medical doctors and medical professionals. Written communication includes daily notes, letters, memos, personal requests, summaries, reports, editorials, and essays. An essay is a form of written assessment used by educators to make inferences about a problem, evaluate a situation, and assess their knowledge and understanding among students. Essay writing is an important tool for developing thinking, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Aim: To do a comparative evaluation of essays by first-year students of pre-med and pre-health education Materials and Methods: In this study, essays written on the topic “My Childhood” by students who studied Communication Skills in the 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 academic years were evaluated using the 6 criteria of the Rubric and the group discussion identified the problems students faced when writing essays. Results: Among the essays of 568 first-year basic education students who studied in the 2022–2023 academic year, 32.6% had spelling errors, 25.5% had grammatical and composition errors, and 20.4% were insufficiently written in terms of content. It was identified that 28.6% of the essays of 525 students who studied in the 2023–2024 academic year contained spelling errors, 21.8% contained compositional errors, and 18.6% lacked content. Additionally, 10.5% did not have the required essay structure for writing their essays. Conclusion This indicates the need for content reforms in the curriculum to further improve students' writing skills.

Background: The skin barrier serves as the primary defense against environmental factors. Mongolia’s extreme climate conditions may contribute to skin barrier impairment, increased trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and decreased skin moisture. Objective: To determine and compare skin moisture, TEWL, and skin pH levels in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2023 with 104 relatively healthy children selected through random sampling. Skin physiological parameters, including skin moisture, skin pH and TEWL were measured following the EEMCO (European Group on Efficacy Measurement of Cosmetics and Other Topical Products) guidelines using the Multi Skin Test MC750 device (Courage+Khazaka Electronics, Germany) at nine different sites. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and Stata-14 software. Results: Among the participants, 51.9% (n=54) reported having dry skin (p<0.0001). Additionally, 64.5% (n=67) used moisturizers, but their usage did not show a statistically significant difference in skin moisture (p=0.929), skin pH (p=0.378), or TEWL (p=0.332). 14.42% (n=15) had extremely dry skin, while 85.58% (n=89) had dry skin, with no participants falling within the normal skin moisture range. TEWL showed a moderate inverse correlation with age (r=-0.331, p=0.0006). When analyzed by age groups, skin moisture (p=0.023) and TEWL (p=0.038) differed significantly between groups. Conclusion Skin moisture and TEWL significantly differ across age groups. Given that all participants had dry skin, moisturization is crucial. Mongolia’s extreme climate is likely a key contributing factor to childhood skin dryness.

Background: The resulting 5 core competencies that should be common in health professions’ education aAAAAwzzzzere imbedded in the following vision statement from the summit. In our (the authors) roles as clinical educators and health professional education researchers, we often hear clinician colleagues describe interprofessional competencies as “soft skills” and see them as the “poor cousin” to clinical skills. Methods: The survey instrument contained four scales to evaluate faculty attitudes toward IPE and teamwork adapted from the methods of Curran et al (2007) To define the structure clearer, an exploratory factor analysis using varimax rotation was conducted. The level of significance was p<.0001 for all tests. Results: As shown in results mean score was “Attitudes towards health care team” was 3.85, “Attitudes towards interprofessional education” was 4.02, “Attitudes towards interprofessional learning in the academic setting”.was 3.8. The Kaiser–Meyer-Olkin index was 0.735, indicating sampling adequacy, and the Bartlett Sphericity Chi Square index was 357.8 (p <0.0001). Cronbach’s alpha of the 14 items was 0.793, revialing a high rate of internal consistency. The modified ATHCTS questionnaire was categorized into the four factors “Quality of care”, “Team efficiency”, “Patient centred care”, “Negative factors”. Conclusions Findings suggest that the positive attitude of students towards IPE indicates the need for IPE training.

Background: The immune response has become the basic use of today’s medical and biological sciences understanding, definition and realization when first introduced into the cognitive level with new theory of nine step closed cycle of protons related to membrane potentials three linear and s-NCM. Medicinal preparations for the immune system derived from traditional herbs have rarely been used therefore, we aim to determine the boost-reduction of immune response with preparation Antischemin with ingredients of Gingko biloba, Astragalus membranaceus and Scutellaria baicalensis. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on the innovation-research bio-modeling laboratory of the “New Medicine Medical University”. Sheep blood was taken in heparin tube and centrifuged for 10min with speed of 2000rpm and plasma was isolated. Blood components were washed with physiological solution 3-4 times and 10% blood red cell suspension was prepared. Prepared 0.2ml of 10% sheep red cell suspension was injected to mice tail vein to create immune response model (N.K. Jerne and Nordin (1963)). IL-4 (pg), antibody titre SRBC-IgM(ng/mL), and hemagglutinin titre (%) was measured with ELISA kit and compared with control group. Comparing group animals used Salimon 1 ml/kg, Dexamethasone 1 mg/kg orally. The study was conducted in accordance with the approval of Ethics Review Committee of Ministry of Health (November 02, 2018 and approval number 10, №1). Result : In addition, comparing mice which used Antischemin 100 mg/kg orally with sheep blood injected group at day 5, IL-4 level increased by 12.11%, but conclution of antibodies against sheep blood-IgM concentration decreased by 28.7%, and hemagglutinin titre decreased by 27.5%, meaning we observed that the preparation can suppress immune response. Сonclusions Antischemin preparation meaning observed can suppress immune response.

BACKGROUND The study was based on the facts that high patient satisfaction and good health indicators are common in countries where quality of nursing care and organization has reached high level and skill level of these professionals is the main factor for the improvement of health care service quality. OBJECTIVE Evaluate practical skill levels of nurses who are responsible for pre- and post-operative care in the National First Central Hospital (NFCH). METHOD Using cross-sectional design, we have conducted 120 questions questionnaire, which was developed by Canadian Nursing Association and Kwantlen Polytechnic University in 2008, to determine 4 levels of skill (never done – did independently) among 41 nurses who work in the Department of Surgery of NFCH. Data was analyzed using social studies statistics software SPSS 21. RESULT Average age and average work years of the 41 nurses who work in the Department of Surgery were 29.9±8.6 and 7.7±9.1, respectively. In terms of specialty, 4 were anesthesiology and intensive care nurse (9.8%) and 17 were surgical nurse (41.5%) while almost half of them (20, 48.8%) did not have specialty certification. During the evaluation of practical skill levels of participants in regards to pre- and post-operative care, for checking readiness of respiratory apparatus, there were 9 (22%) nurses who had never done it, 11 (27%) nurses who did it with assistance, 9 (22%) nurses who did it under guidance, and 12 (29%) nurses who did it independently, for checking neurologic function, there were 4 (11%) nurses who had never done it, 3 (7%) nurses who did it with assistance, 7 (17%) nurses who did it under guidance, and 27 (65%) nurses who did it independently, for operation wound care, there were 5 (12%) nurses who had never done it, 2 (5%) nurses who did it with assistance, 11 (27%) nurses who did it under guidance, and 23 (56%) nurses who did it independently, for using nasal and tracheal intubation, there were 10 (24%) nurses who had never done it, 4 (10%) nurses who did it with assistance, 10 (24%) nurses who did it under guidance, and 17 (42%) nurses who did it independently. There was correlation between average work years and skill level (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Varying skill levels (never done it 17.25%, with assistance 12.25%, under guidance 22.5%, and independently 48%) of surgical nurses who are responsible for pre- and post-operative care show that there is a need for improving practical skills of nurses in the Department of Surgery of NFCH.

BACKGROUND. To evaluate educational environment, it is important to use confidential and accepted tool. Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) (3) is a globally accepted and widely used tool to measure the education environment. Regular assessment of educational environment to evaluate teachers’ teaching method, students’ perception and their outcome and making the necessary adjustment to it is one of the factors affecting students’ knowledge, clinical practice and their motivation (4). In the MNUMS program, educational environmental assessment is one of the most important parts and we are unaware of any report of research work. Therefore, the researchers decide to carry this study. AIM OF THE STUDY. This study aimed to evaluate the educational environment in Nursing school of MNUMS using globally accepted DREEM Questionnaire. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This cross-sectional analytic study was carried out in Faculty of Nursing in Darkhan, Dornogobi and Gobi-Altai aimag out of 9 branch school of MNUMS during the academic year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. DREEM questionnaire was used to collect data from 306 nursing students. RESULT. Most of the participants were female accounted around 89.9% (275) and male were 10.1% (31). By age, age of 17-19 were 25.5%(78), 20-22 were 52.0% (159), 23-25 were 15.0%(46), >26 were 7.5% (23). The mean item score was highest in Dornogobi school of 3.8 and lowest in Nursing school of 3.6. 4th year students’ 68.6% (210) agreed to “more on positive side” for their academic self perception and 22.5% (69) agreed “moving in right direction” for their academic self perception. All domains were statistically significant specially the perception of curriculum (0.854**) and perception of learning (0.803**) have high correlation. On the other hand, perception of educational atmosphere (0.444**) and perception of teachers have moderate correlation. The reliability of questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach alpha and it is counted as reliable if it is more than 0.7. The perception of curriculum was relatively low in 2nd year students but higher in 3rd year students. The perception of educational atmosphere was relatively low in 4th year students but higher in 1st year students. CONCLUSION. The nursing school program is in same level. Students are satisfied with their academic self perception and perception of teachers. The result showed that 68.2% (209) of students consider positive aspect of educational environment (p<0.001). Students of all 4 school of MNUMS with same level of nursing school program are satisfied with their knowledge, clinical skills and educational atmosphere among the students. Dornogobi school students’ 65% assessed perception of teacher as “model instruction”.

The study goal was to determine efficiency of Antacid calcium-6 preparation to gastro-esophageal reflux disease by clinical study.The material and methods were randomized controlled trial.The study was 2 phased. In the first phase, participants are given Antacid Calcium-6 p.o, and then monitored gastric acidity by pH monitoring for 24 hours. We evaluated how to effect to reflux condition in before and after treatment by DeMeester index, G.A. Agafanova, A.P.Kholopov scores.The results are gastric minimum pH was 4.12±0.4, pH mean of 24 hours was 7.69±0.39, DeMeester index was decreased (p=0.001-0.005). These results are show Antacid calcium-6 decreases gastro-esophageal reflux. After taken preparation gastric pH become 4.62±1.54 was proven this preparation’s effect of to neutralize to gastric acidity. In the second phase, we compared between Antacid calcium-6 and Orgil mineral water by randomized comparative trial’s design and participants are filled GerQ form and performed gastro-esophageal flexible endoscopy in before and after treatment. Antacid calcium group people had changes of esophageal mucosa (88.2%), decreased ulcerative changes (52.9%) and improved gastritis (70%).In the Orgil mineral water group these changes were 63.3%, 33.3%, 29.6%. These results shown antacid calcium-6 is better than orgil mineral water to use treatment of GERD. In conclustion, antacid calcium-6 biological preparation has effect to neutralize enough in gastric acidity, and supports healing process in GERD.

Purpose:To identify theeffect of Antacid calcium-preparation on gastroeosophageal reflux disease by using pH meterfor 24 hour monitoring analysis. Study methodology:A randomly controlled test was used for the study. Study objects were administered Antacid calcium-6 preparation and their gastric acidity level was identified by pH monitoring analysis for 24 hours. Theimpact of preparation in regards with before and after treatment and their relationship were analysed by t-test. Results:The 24-hour pH meter analysis of Antacid calcium-6 preparation indicated that before administration of preparation the gastroeosophageal pH=5,75±0,14, which has increased after the administration to pH=9,7±0,02 and the average duration was 7,8±0,09 days. In other words, the alkalinizing effect was statistically significant (p<0.001). Also, According to the criteria developed by the DeMeester, the daily prevalence of reflux, the prevalence of reflux that continued for more than five minutes and the DeMeester index indicated that the preparation was significantly efficient (p=0.041). The neutrialising effect of the preparation was established by using the criteria method developed by G.A. Agafonova and A.P. Kholopov (1984), and after administering the preparation, the gastric level was pH=4,6±1,5 indicating that the preparation had a neutralising effect. The average duration for neutralization was 19,3±0,9 hours. Conclusion: Аntacid calcium-6 preparation was effective in neutralising the gastric acidity and it was appropriate for treatment of GERD, chronic gastritis.

The study’s goal was to determine efficiency of the Antacide Calcium-6 to Gastroeosophageal reflux disease (GERD) by radiological study. The material and methods are experimental study and we collected occasionally participants. The study was 2 stages. In the first stage, participants are given Antacide Calcium-6 p.o, and then monitored gastric acidity by pH monitoring for 24 hours. We evaluated how to effect to reflux condition in before and after treatment by relational groups t score. Also we determinate efficient to GERD by DeMeester score, G.A. Agafanova, A.P.Kholopov scores, time to neutralize gastric acidity by time to gastric acidity return normal. First stages results are this preparation alkalified eosophagus (р<0,001). The second stage: Participants are given Antacide calcium-6 for 21 days p.o (1 times per day, in 10 A.M, 1.5g) after collected GerdQ questions and did gastroeosophageal flexible endoscopy. Treatments results evaluated by GerdQ and Antacide calcium-6 decreased to gastro- eosophageal reflux by 72.1% (р<0,001). Eosophageal mucous membrande changes were 86.11% (n=31), gastric inflammation’s actitity was decreased 72.22% (n=26) by endoscopic examination. In conclusion, Antacid calcium-6 biological preparation has neutralizing actions to gastric acidity. Therefore this preparation is comfortable to treat GERD and chronic gastritis.

BACKGROUNDGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common digestive disorder in the world. In this study, we chose Calcitum-6 for GERD treatment and assessed itsimpact on the disease using modern laboratory and imaging study. Out main purpose was to investigate the impact of Calcitum-6 for GERD treatment using gastroscopy.METHODSWe selected 34 patients who meet the criteria of GERD for the study. All participants signed a consent form. After 21 days of treatment with Calcitum-6 patients underwentgastroscopy in the Teaching hospital of MNUMS.RESULTSSymptoms of GERD including heartburn and bitter taste were significantly reduced within 4.7±0.8 days after treatment. Symptoms of bile reflux, increased gastric acid and painwere reduced by 73.6%, 55.2%, and 69.8% (р=0.05), respectively, after the completion of 21 days treatment. Changes in esophageal mucosa were recovered in 83.87% (26) and relapse of gastritis was reduced in 65.52% (19) of all patients.CONCLUSIONSBased on our results, we conclude that using Calcitum-6 for the treatment of GERD shows significant reduction in symptoms of the disease.
