[Treatment of infertility in men with pathospermia associated with oxidative stress].

Introduction: Oxidative stress considered to be the main cause of male infertility. Surgical treatment of varicocele and elimination of the inflammatory process in the male accessory glands can help reduce the level of oxidative stress, however, in most cases, antioxidant therapy is additionally prescribed. Currently, much attention is paid to regulatory peptides as a component of antioxidant therapy due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

[Radio wave electrotherapy with a radiofrequency of 448 khz for the treatment of patients with organic erectile dysfunction: a prospective, randomized, blind, Sham-controlled, parallel-group study].

Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of radio wave electrotherapy (448 kHz) for the treatment of patients with organic erectile dysfunction (ED).

Materials And Methods: A prospective, randomized, blind, sham- controlled clinical trial was carried out. Inclusion criteria were as following: 1) patients with 5 to 20 points on the IIEF-5 score; 2) patients with proven organic erectile dysfunction lasting at least 6 months; 3) patients with penile arterial insufficiency and/or venous insufficiency, confirmed by doppler study of penile vessels with pharmacological stimulation (peak systolic velocity (PSV) <25 cm/s, end-diastolic blood flow velocity (DPV) >5 cm/s, resistance index (IR) < 0.

[Study of the influence of etoxidol on expression of follistatin-like protein-1 (FSTL-1) in myocardium after experimental infarction in rats].

In heart attack, FSTL-1 is actively secreted by cardiomyocytes, accelerates growth of heart myofibrils and stimulates of vascular endothelial growth factor expression. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of Etoxidol on synthesis of FSTL-1 in rats after myocardial infarction. The experiments were performed on Wistar rats weighing 250-350 g with simulated myocardial infarction or intact (group 5).

Analysis of Antitumor Activity of the Liposomal Photosensitizer Lipophthalocyan.

We studied specific antitumor activity of a liposomal drug based on tetra-3-phenylthiophthalocyanine aluminum hydroxide (lipophthalocyan) intended for photodynamic therapy. The optimal dose and protocol for photodynamic therapy with lipophthalocyan were chosen in experiments on mice: single intravenous dose of 6 mg/kg with a 5-h interval between administration and laser exposure and irradiation energy density of 400 J/cm. A wide spectrum antitumor activity of lipophthalocyan was demonstrated in vivo for various transplantable mouse tumors (Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma, S37 sarcoma, and colon adenocarcinoma AKATOL).

[Idiopathic hypercalciuria. Diagnosis and treatment].

Most patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria and calcium nephrolithiasis have a family history of the disease. Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a metabolic abnormality with various causes and developmental pathways. The systematic review describes specific mutations associated with idiopathic hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis.

[The role of pharmacological preconditioning in renal ischemic and reperfusion injury].

Renal ischemic and reperfusion injury resulting in acute renal failure is a multidisciplinary problem at the junction of pathophysiology, transplantology, urology, nephrology, cardiac surgery and pharmacology. One of renal protection strategies is using the phenomenon of preconditioning. Preconditioning is one of the ways to adopt a tissue to repeated short-term effects of damaging factors to induce an enhanced tolerance to the long period of hypoxia and/or ischemia.

[Using of cell biocomposite material in tissue engineering of the urinary bladder].

In a systematic review, to present an overview of the current situation in the field of tissue engineering of urinary bladder related to the use of cell lines pre-cultured on matrices. The selection of eligible publications was conducted according to the method described in the article Glybochko P.V.

[Tissue engineering of urinary bladder using acellular matrix].

Introduction: Tissue engineering has become a new promising strategy for repairing damaged organs of the urinary system, including the bladder. The basic idea of tissue engineering is to integrate cellular technology and advanced bio-compatible materials to replace or repair tissues and organs.

Aim: of the study is the objective reflection of the current trends and advances in tissue engineering of the bladder using acellular matrix through a systematic search of preclinical and clinical studies of interest.

[Using cell technologies to treat urologic diseases].

Stem and progenitor cells being introduced into the body have the ability to stimulate regeneration of tissues and organs by differentiating into specialized cells. Stem cell therapy is used in urology to treat various disorders, including erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, Peyronies disease, and male infertility. This review presents the results of international preclinical and clinical research on stem cell based medications for treating the above diseases.

Toxic and Immunomodulatory Properties of an Iron(II) Coordination Complex of Isoleucyltryptophan Dipeptide.

Results from toxicological and pharmacological studies of the iron(II) coordination complex of the immunoactive dipeptide isoleucyltryptophan (timofer) were presented. It was established that timofer was practically nontoxic and exhibited high immunostimulatory activity when combined with viral and bacterial vaccines.

[PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN INTERNAL MEDICINE].

Personalized medicine - a new direction in medicine, which is based on the study of various biomarkers and the use of new methods of molecular analysis (primarily evaluating the activity of isoenzymes of cytochrome P450), allowing individualized approach to the selection of both the drugs and the selection of the dosing regimen for the purpose of maximize the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapy. This personalized medicine is to change the development and use of preventive and curative interventions. Genetic polymorphism isozymes of cytochrome P450 may determine the individual activity of a particular isozyme, and thus, to predict the clinical effectiveness, and in some cases, the risk of adverse reactions.

Outlook for the use of focused shock waves and pulsed electric fields in the complex treatment of malignant neoplasms.

The experimental studies the synchronous action of electric field microsecond range with amplitude within the range of 1-7 kV/sm and shock waves with pressure before 100 MPa on cells membrane permeability of the mouse's ascitic tumors in vitro have shown the intensification the efficiency of the forming the irreversible pores under synchronous action. Thereby, enabling the electric field in the compression phase of shock wave pulse which can essentially reduce the electric field intensity required for breakdown cell membrane. In usual condition at amplitude of electric field, specified above, electric breakdown membrane carries basically reversible nature.

Curative effect of general geomagnetic therapy.

Contractions of two magnetic therapy devices with constant and pulsed magnetic fields and results of biology and medical experiments are presented.
