[Andrological status of adolescents and its connection to anthropometric and hormonal descriptions in the students of technical college group].

The purpose of this investigation was to study the interrelation of andrological status with anthropometric and hormonal descriptions for age-specific features discovery of male sexual system pathological states at technical college students. 147 adolescents aged 15-17 years old were examined. Only 41 of them were found to have no abnormalities in their genital system development; in 35 adolescents sexual development was delayed; and 97 adolescents were found to have various andrological diseases (varicocele, phimosis, gynecomastia, testicular asymmetry, etc.

[Combination of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus with obesity].

The aim of the study was to elucidate dynamics of the incidence of arterial hypertension (AH), 2 type diabetes mellitus (DM), and obesity as the main risk factor of these conditions, combinations between them and certain circulation disorders in the patients admitted to our clinic from 2003 to 2011. We analysed 25,451 case histories. Patients were regarded as having AH, DM, obesity, coronary heart disease, cardiac rhythm disturbances and cerebovascular disorders if they had verified diagnosis of nosological forms corresponding to the respective ICD-10 codes.

[Adrenocortical and renin-angiotensin systems in dynamics of experimental diabetes].

Components of the adrenocortical system (adrenal and blood corticosteroid hormones and hepatic and renal 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity) and also activity of the most important enzyme of the renin-angiotensin system, tissue and blood angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) have been investigated in dynamics of alloxan diabetes. The study has shown that the initial period of diabetes is characterized by activation of synthesis and secretion of adrenocortical hormones into blood. High blood glucose and glucocorticoid honnones increase activity of the renin-angiotensin system in lungs and decrease ACE secretion into blood.

[Serum hormonal levels in diamond-extracting industry workers of Yakutia, with surface and underground type of work].

The results obtained show compensation and adaptation changes of endocrine system in males engaged into underground work vs. those of surface work.

[Association of erectile dysfunction with hypogonadism and metabolic syndrome among men of various age groups].

The integrated study included 184 men aged from 22 to 60 years who were formed into two groups, of the first and second period of middle age. The direct relation of both erectile dysfunction frequency and expressiveness from age was developed. The same dependence was found for hypogonadism clinical features, metabolic syndrome and its components, but inverse relation was detected between age and testosterone content in blood.
