Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in Mongolia: Results from Population-Based Survey Compared with 1999 Study.

Purpose: The burden of diabetes in Mongolia has risen tremendously over the last three decades, and an individually tracked, national registry of diabetes is lacking. Therefore, we aim to investigate diabetes prevalence in Mongolia and analyze some associated factors.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, nationally representative, population-based survey was carried out in Mongolia.

Acute hepatitis A, B and C but not D is still prevalent in Mongolia: a time trend analysis.

Background/aims: Mongolia has one of the highest hepatitis A, C, B and D infection incidences worldwide. We sought to investigate changes in the proportion of acute viral hepatitis types in Mongolia over the last decade.

Methods: The cohort comprised 546 consecutive patients clinically diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis from January 2012 to December 2014 in Ulaanbaatar Hospital, Mongolia.

Successful pregnancy outcomes in a patient with type A insulin resistance syndrome.

Background: The management of severe insulin resistance during pregnancy is challenging because of the increased risk of perinatal complications for both mother and fetus. We describe two consecutive pregnancies in a patient with severe insulin resistance caused by a mutation in the β subunit of the insulin receptor.

Case Report: A non-obese Japanese woman was diagnosed as having diabetes mellitus during her first pregnancy at age 31 years.

Critical role of neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase 1 in cholesteryl ester hydrolysis in murine macrophages.

Hydrolysis of intracellular cholesteryl ester (CE) is the rate-limiting step in the efflux of cholesterol from macrophage foam cells. In mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs), this process is thought to involve several enzymes: hormone-sensitive lipase (Lipe), carboxylesterase 3 (Ces3), neutral CE hydrolase 1 (Nceh1). However, there is some disagreement over the relative contributions of these enzymes.
