The effect of low-intensity laser radiation on semen parameters in patients with chronic prostatitis
Abstract
This study includes 208 patients with chronic prostatitis (average age 38,3 ± 8,5 years). To the patients of the main group (n = 112) in addition to standard therapy was prescribed low-intensity laser therapy. To the patients of control group (n = 96) was done the standard treatment only. After the treatment of all patients was performed the ejaculate control study, which showed a positive effect of the treatment. Oligozoospermia I-III level before treatment was detected in 17 (15,2 %) patients of the main group and after treatment only in 7 (6.3 %) patients, asthenozoospermia - in 13 (11.6 %) and 3 (2.7 %) respectively. There was no positive effect to the patients with necrospermia.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines in determining of the activi phase severity of chronic pyelonephritis
Abstract
Diagnosis of exacerbation of active phase of chronic pyelonephritis in accordance with the concept of the role of the immune system in forming and further aggravation of the inflammatory process is an important task. The aim of this study was to determine the severity of exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis by examining changes in the level of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Presents results of a study of the content of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the urine collected from the ureter, bladder, and in blood plasma in patients with exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis. Proven to be highly informative of the level of iL-8 in urine from the ureter and the safety of catheterization of the ureter during exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis, which allowed for a differentiated therapy depending on the severity of the inflammatory process, to improve the results of treatment.

Laparoscopic nerve-sparing cystoprostatectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic sigmoid neobladder formation
Abstract
The following clinical case is presented: performing of minimally invasive laparoscopic nerve-sparing cystoprostatectomy with intracorporeal orthotopic sigmoid neobladder formation for patient aged 62 with invasive bladder cancer. This case proves that the performed method of urine derivation is safe and can be used as alternative to other techniques in patients who underwent radical laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy.
