[A man's role in recurrent miscarriage in a spouse].

In a review article based on the published literature and their own research, the authors examine the role of a man in recurrent miscarriage and reproductive losses in a spouse. Detailed description is presented of the negative impact of elevated levels of sperm DNA fragmentation on the course of pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, on the occurrence of recurrent miscarriage or missed abortion, on the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs. The etiology and pathogenesis of damage to sperm DNA are described.

Functional deficit of sperm and fertility impairment in men with antisperm antibodies.

Autoimmune reactions against the sperm cells play an ambiguous role in fertility impairment. The objective of this study was to characterize functional deficit of sperm conditioned by antisperm immune response in normozoospermic men. This was a multi-centric, cross-sectional, сase-control study.

[The results of biliary reconstructions after liver fragments transplantation].

Aim: To analyze the results of repeated reconstructions of choleresis after living related liver fragments transplantation.

Material And Methods: The study included 268 recipients (145 women and 123 men) aged 5 months - 61 years (mean age 16,11 ± 14,62 years) who underwent liver fragments transplantation in the department of liver transplantation of cad. B.

Male fertility and varicocoele: role of immune factors.

The role of antisperm antibodies (ASA) in the aetiopathogenesis of varicocoele-related male infertility remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine whether varicocoele is associated with antisperm immune response and whether this factor provides additional affect on male fertility. We performed a multicentral, prospective study that included the clinical examination of 1639 male subjects from infertile couples and 90 fertile men, the evaluation of the absolute and relative risks of immune infertility associated with varicocoele and the impact of the autoimmune response on the semen quality.

[To the issue of postreperfusion syndrome predictors in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study is revelation of postperfusion syndrome (pPS) predictors in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).

Materials And Methods: Was conducted a retrospective analysis of anesthesia maintainance protocols during orthotopic liver transplantation in 261 patients aged from 6 months to 60 years. Investigated the effect of various factors on the development of PPS by the application of methods of non-parametric statistics.
