OBJECTIVES To assess the clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Han and Mongolian adults with prehypertension or hypertension in Northern China. METHODS We selected 3227 Han and Mongolian participants (20-80 years old) using a multistage cluster sampling method in 2014. The participants were interviewed by standard questionnaires and underwent anthropometric measurement an...

Objective. Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. Hypnotics have poor long-term efficacy. Mongolian medical warm acupuncture has significant efficacy in treating insomnia. The paper evaluates the role of Mongolian medical warm acupuncture in treating insomnia by investigating the Mongolian medicine syndromes and conditions, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and polysomnography indexe...

This article discusses the rendering issues of complex text layouts, particularly traditional Mongolian script. Some standards such as Unicode and OpenType format have been implemented and are supported widely. Traditional Mongolian script has been standardized in Unicode. We analyzed existing OpenType fonts and their rendering schemes for traditional Mongolian script. We found some errors, and...

AIM To investigate the differences in central corneal thickness (CCT) and curvature in myopic patients with different genders between Mongolian and Han nationalities in the Inner Mongolia region. METHODS Patients with myopia, among whom 122 cases (244 eyes) were Mongolian and 150 cases (300 eyes) were Han, were selected. Pentacam was used to measure the corneal curvature, whereas CCT was dete...

The genus Mongolodectes is endemic to vast Mongolian Plateau and has two recorded species in the Mongolian People's Republic and one species in China's Inner Mongolia. Here we describe one new species Mongolodectes huangi sp. n. from China's Inner Mongolia. Further investigations are needed for precise identification and complete understanding on the fauna of the Mongolian Plateau.

Mongolian language is spoken by about 8 million speakers. This paper summarizes the current status of its resources and tools used for Mongolian language processing.

The hindgut of horses is an anaerobic fermentative chamber for a complex and dynamic microbial population, which plays a critical role in health and energy requirements. Research on the gut microbiota of Mongolian horses has not been reported until now as far as we know. Mongolian horse is a major local breed in China. We performed high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes V4 hypervariab...

Mongolian is an influential language. And better Mongolian Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) systems are required. Recently, the research of speech recognition has achieved a big improvement by introducing the Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). In this study, a DNN-based Mongolian LVCSR system is built. Experimental results show that the DNN-based models outperform the convention...

The present study analyzed the association of tumor protein p53 (TP53) Pro72Arg polymorphism with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the Mongolian population of Tongliao (Inner Mongolia, China). Restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the genotype distribution of TP53 Pro72Arg polymorphism in 100 patients with ESCC and 50 healthy controls ...
