Unlabelled: The controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is an integral part of infertility treatment. Its main objective is to obtain oocytes with a highest developmental potential. The stimulation protocols involving the gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues and gonadotropins are considered as the most efficient.

Unlabelled: The severe oligospermia and lukocytospermia is diagnosed among 25-40% of the infertile patients despite the absence of any clinical manifestation of the inflammatory process. The white blood cells are the main source of the free oxidative radicals, which can injure the cell membranes and the sperm DNA integrity influencing the reproductive potential of the male gametes. The aim of study was to assess the influence of the anti-inflammatory anti-bacterial and anti-oxidative treatment combined with the dietary supplementation on sperm parameters in the patients with severe oligospermia and lukocytospermia.

The hypertrophic adenoid may promote chronic suppurative otitis media in children as it fulfills its immune function. The number of lymphocytes in the adenoid and their cooperation in the immune response depend of on their proliferation and migration to the effector sites. Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is essential for the normal development and function lymphocytes.

Background: In recent few years is underlined that altered balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of AITD.The aim of this study was to estimate intracellular INF-γ and IL-4 levels in thyroid-infiltrating lymphocytes and thyrocytes isolated from thyroid tissues in 54 adolescent patients aged 8-21 years, with Graves' disease (GD; n = 18), Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT; n = 18) and non-toxic multinodular goiter (NTMG; n = 18).

Methods: Fresh thyroid tissues were taken on culture medium RPMI -1640, it was mechanically prepared.

Objective: To study fluid dynamics during ET.

Design: Computational fluid dynamics were applied to calculate fluid velocity changes, dynamic pressure differences, and shear stress in the transferred load for the following injection speeds: 0.1, 1, 6, 12, and 20 m/sec.

Unlabelled: It is well known that patients with leucopenia are susceptible to life-threatening infections due to chemotherapy. The number of neutrophils and monocytes is increasing after administration filgrastim (G-CSF) in patients with the acute lymphoblastic leukemia. CD16 expression was analyzed in order to determine whether monocytes function is also impaired by chemotherapy CD16.

Aim: The aim of this study was evaluation of the percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of lymphocytes B with expression CD80 and CD86 in hypertrophied adenoids in children with otitis media with effusion.

Material And Methods: Expression coreceptors CD80 and CD86 on lymphocytes B in adenoid tissue were estimated by flow cytometry method. 15 children with otitis media with effusion and 15 children with hypertrophied adenoid were tested.

Unlabelled: The commonly available and accurate platelet counts play an important role in the evaluation of haemorrhagic status and in assessing the need for platelet transfusions. We evaluated platelet counting performance by the Sysmex XT-2000i haematology analyser and by the Coulter EPICS XL cytometry using optical, impedance and immunological methods in trombocytopenic patients. Hematology analysers display the high precision and the accuracy of the measurement of the number of platelets in whole blood.

Introduction: In hypertrophied adenoid lymphocytes B make up about 60% all lymphocytes. When the lymphocytes B come in interaction with antigens this membranes signal be passed through their receptor (BCR) to interior of cell. This signal affect modulation on gene expression, activation from which depends activation, anergy or apoptosis of lymphocyte B.

Introduction: The adenoids are organized as lymphoepithelial structures that play an important role in protecting both the upper respiratory and alimentary tract regions. This functions requires dendritic cells (DC) which are one of the major populations of immune cells. Due to the presence of specific receptors (DC) are able to respond to both intra- and extracellular antigens.

Introduction: Adenoid has particular meaning to develop of immunological response to inflammations in upper respiratory inclusive middle ear. The mining of antigen CD27 on lymphocytes T and B in creation of memory cells is still unclear.

Aim: CD27 on lymphocytes T and B has a crucial role in development of immune response against inflammatory state.

Introduction: Chemokine receptors play a crucial role in the recruitment of leucocytes into inflamed tissue from secondary lymphoid organs.

Aim Of This Study: was evaluation of the percentage Th (CD4+) lymphocytes with expression of chemokine receptors: CCR3, CCR4, and CCR5 in hypertrophied adenois tissue in children with otitis media with effusion.

Material And Methods: 36 children with otitis media with effusion and 25 children with hypertrophied adenoids were tested.

Introduction: Apoptosis of lymphocytes can be induced by different factors mainly however the activation of antigen Fas (CD95) and his ligand FasL (CD95L) route. Apoptosis induced by Fas-FasL has large significance in elimination of lymphocytes T in final phase immune response designate AICD (activation induced cell death). Lymphocytes B undergo apoptosis induced by Fas-FasL in germinal center, which has special meaning in elimination of cells about low specificity and weak affinity of receptor BCR ( B-cell antigen receptor).

Atypical lymphocytes or reactive are cells that become large as a result of antigen stimulation. This cells usually are associated with viral illnesses, however they can also be present as result of drug reactions, immunisations, humoral diseases and auto-immune disorders.

Objective: The significance and protective efficacy of surface secretions on mucosal membranes in the upper airways are well recognized. The aim of our study was to reveal the role of the adenoids as a source of cellular components in the mucosal secretion.

Methods: The adenoid removed because of its hypertrophy and the samples of surface secretions taken by "imprint method" described by Ebenfelt et al.

Apoptosis is a physiological form of cell death, which plays an important role in embryogenesis, cellular homeostasis, tissue atrophy and removal of tumor and mutated cells. Apoptosis of T and B lymphocytes is a fundamental process regulating antigen receptor selection during T cell maturation and homeostasis of the immune system. It also plays a key role in elimination of autoreactive lymphocytes.

Introduction: The CD44 on lymphocytes binding to its ligand hyaluronan can mediate primary adhesion (rolling interactions) of lymphocytes on high endothelial venules (HEV). This adhesion molecule plays an important role to maturation and proliferation of lymphocytes in the secondary lymphoid organs. CD44 has a crucial role in migrate of lymphocytes to inflammatory sites.

Introduction: The expansion of an optimal immune response requires fully activated T lymphocytes. For complete activation several signals are needed. The first signal is an antigen dependent via the TCR receptor, and the second signal is a costimulatory that can be delivered by the CD28 molecule after binding to their ligands.

Tonsil pharyngeal is stimulated chronic by pathogens can be causes this hypertrophied; whose often is companions to otitis media with effusion. Subpopulation dominates in tonsil pharyngeal are lymphocytes B, and their markers activation are expression of antigen CD23+. The aim of this study was finding dependence between otitis media with effusion and coexistent hypertrophy adenoids, and percentage of lymphocytes CD19+ with expression of antigen CD23+ in hypertrophy adenoids.
