Research objective: The study investigates the antifibrotic nephroprotective effects of aliskiren on the condition of renal hemodynamics, changes of profibrotic cytokines level and markers of renal damage in patients with nephrolithiasis undergone various types of surgery. Materials and methods: Patients have been divided into 2 groups. The investigations have been performed before the surgery and in a month period. Concentrations of TGF-p, markers of acute renal tubulointerstitial damage — NGAL and p2-microglobulin in urine, levels of ET-1 in serum and indicator of endothelial dysfunction have been determined. Assessment of renal blood flow state by Doppler ultrasonography has been carried out in the same terms. Results: As a result of aliskiren treatment the decrease of mediators of tubulointerstitial damage and nephrofibrosis, significant improvement in renal blood flow in a month period after the surgery have been marked in comparison with the group which had not received nephroprotective therapy. Conclusion: Direct renin inhibitor aliskiren may be used as a means of renal protection therapy in treatment of patients with nephrolithiasis.

Research objective: To study the role of prognostic factors in the estimation of risk development of recurrent prostate cancer after treatment by high-intensive focused ultrasound (HIUF). Objects and Research Methods: The research has included 102 patients with morphologically revealed localized prostate cancer by biopsy. They have been on treatment in Clinic of Urology of the Saratov Clinical Hospital n.a. S. R. Mirotvortsev. 102 sessions of initial operative treatment of prostate cancer by the method of HIFU have been performed. The general group of patients (n=102) has been subdivided by the method of casual distribution into two samples: group of patients with absent recurrent tumor and group of patients with the revealed recurrent tumor, by morphological research of biopsy material of residual prostate tissue after HIFU. The computer program has been used to study the signs of outcome of patients with prostate cancer. Results: Risk of development of recurrent prostate cancer has grown with the PSA level raise and its density. The index of positive biopsy columns <0,2 has shown the recurrence of prostate cancer in 17% cases while occurrence of prostate cancer in 59% cases has been determined by the index of 0,5 and higher. The tendency to obvious growth of number of relapses has been revealed by the sum of Glison raise with present perineural invasion. Cases of recurrent prostate cancer have been predominant in patients with lymphovascular invasions. In conclusion it has been worked out that the main signs of recurrent prostate cancer development may include: PSA, PSA density, the sum of Glison, lymphovascular invasion, invasion.

In Russia there are no unified approved criteria for diagnosing sepsis, and this fact complicating registration and statistical recording of its development and spread. Sepsis registration in neonatology is more difficult. The infection as a death-causing factor in full-terms newborns has been increasing for the last 10 years, even though there is the registration system, and its size is 0,51-0,60 per 1000 newborns. Early neonatal sepsis is characterized by intrauterine particularly intranatal ascending, contact or hematogenous infecting. We have analyzed the course of antenatal, intra-natal and neonatal periods in babies with congenital sepsis. To diagnose neonatal sepsis in clinical presentation of the disease three groups of criteria directly correlating with sepsis have been revealed.
