Comparative Content of Neuron-Specific Enolase in Human Blood Serum and Seminal Plasma.

We studied the content of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in 69 paired samples of blood serum and seminal plasma from men with azoospermia (n=11) and oligoastenozoospermia (n=10) and from men with fertile ejaculate (n=48). NSE concentration was determined by ELISA (Vector-Best kit). The median concentration and the interquartile range of the NSE content in seminal plasma were 65.

[Results of introduction multilevel system of medical care to the patient with a stroke in the Tatarstan Republic].

Introduction of the multilevel system of medical care to the patient with stroke in the Tatarstan Republic for 2008-2012 and formation of vascular centers are analyzed. There is a positive trend in some indices (stroke morbidity, treatment efficacy, fatality, number of functionally independent patients etc).

[The characteristics of hemostasis condition in women with non-carrying of pregnancy].

The typical changes of hemostasis indicators in different periods of gestation are described. The analysis of blood plasma in pregnant women with menace of miscarriage and compromised anamnestic record on spontaneous or attempted abortion was made. The valid hypercoagulation deviations are detected.

[The DNA-citometry of peripheral blood cells under particular pathologic conditions in children].

The article deals with the data concerning DNA-citometry of peripheral blood cells in healthy children and under particular pathologic conditions. The causes of shifts are discussed as their possible role in pathogenesis and clinical diagnostics of diseases as well.

[The preanalytical stage of studying the hemostatic system].

The efficiency of applying precision devices and multiple laboratory methods devised to reveal the causes of bleeding and thromboses significantly depends on whether a wide range of rules of the preanalytical stage of the study is observed. The paper gives detailed information on conditions for taking blood samples, their transport, and preparation for examination of the hemostatic system. The given information is based on the worldwide recommendations and many years' experience gained by the authors at the laboratory of hemostasis.
