Item type:Publication, Osteoporosis in Mongolian Population: Prevalence and Risk Factors(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2017-11-25); ; ; ; Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis and investigate some of its risk factors among Mongolian adults. Methods: The subjects comprised of 2001 adults (age ranged from 20 to 87) were recruited from 5 ecological zones of Mongolia. After applying exclusion criteria, 1990 subjects were selected. Speed of sound (SOS) ultrasonic bone mineral density was measured in the distal one third of radius of the non-dominant arm using the Sunlight Omnisense (Sunlight Medical, Rehovot, Israel). The data were used to calculate mean SOS and T-score by WHO osteoporosis criteria. Results: The average age was 49.1±13.5 (men: 48.6±14.6, women: 49.4±13.0). The prevalence of osteoporosis in men and women from 20-35 years of age was 4.7% vs 6.2%, from 36-45 years of age was 7.2% vs 8.0%, from ages 46-55 was 11.4% vs 25.5%, from ages 56-65 was 21.9% vs 58.3%, and from those over 65 years of age was 35.6% vs 75.5%. The prevalence of osteoporosis was lowest in Ulaanbaatar city. The independent predictors of osteoporosis in Mongolian adults were female sex, menopause, lower education level, physical inactivity and low BMI (BMI<18.5). Conclusion: Compared to neighboring and industrialized countries, the prevalence of osteoporosis in Mongolia is significantly higher. Female sex, lack of exercise, lower education level, menopause and being underweight were identified as risk factors in Mongolian adults. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Efficacy of Marmot Brown Fat in Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis(Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2016-06-25); ; ; Ariunaa ZunduinObjectives: The brown fat of marmots is called "human meat" among Mongolian people because they abstain from eating it. Our experimental study is the first academic-based study to investigate the effect of marmot brown fat (MBF) on acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods: This study used 82 healthy female Wistar rats (250-280 g). The study rats were divided into 4 groups: (1) relatively healthy (no medication and no AP, n = 10), (2) caerulein-induced AP rats without any treatments (n = 24), (3) AP rats fed by the MBF suspension (n = 24), and (4) AP rats injected with sandostatin (n = 24). The serum a-amylase level (SAAL) and histological examination were observed. Results: Significantly increased SAAL (group 1: 1347.10 ±10.76 units/L vs group 2: 1804.50 ±134.32 units/L) was confirmed in rats with caerulein-induced, mild AP. In both treatment groups 3 and 4, the SAAL was significantly decreased on the fifth day after treatment. Interestingly, advanced damage of pancreatic cells was observed in group 3. Additionally, the health condition of group 3 rats was poor, and spleen and lung tissue damage was detected by histological examination. Conclusion: Our study results suggest that the MBF suspension might be stimulating pancreatic juice secretion, therefore we conclude that the MBF suspension is not beneficial in the treatment of AP. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Atherosclerotic Parameter Level Differences in Mongolian People Compared to Japanese People: A Brief Review of the LiteratureObjectives: In Mongolia, non-communicable disease caused morbidity and mortality related to lifestyle and metabolic diseases are increasing year after year. This review discusses the results of comparative studies related to lifestyle risk factors and the atherosclerotic parameters body mass index, glucose, insulin, and lipid level of Mongolian and Japanese people, as these are the known factors involved in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Academic literature was searched using electronic academic databases and handsearching reference lists for articles published in English and Mongolian on the topic. Results: The studies revealed that in comparison to Japanese subjects, a higher percentage of Mongolians smoked, and Mongolians had higher body mass index, heart rate, blood pressure, and insulin even though levels of serum total cholesterol and glucose were not different. Conclusion: The studies suggest that Mongolian people have higher risk of metabolic syndrome, which is a known main cause of CVDs, compared to Japanese people. On the other hand, climate, genetic and lifestyle differences might also increase non-communicable diseases in the Mongolian people.
