[Phytoperfusion of the bladder after adenomectomy]. / Fitoperfuziia mochevogo puzyria posle adenoméktomii.

For continuous irrigation of the bladder after prostatic adenomectomy herb infusion (Urtica dioica L. 12-15 g/l, Hypericum perforatum L. 8-12 g/l. Marticaria recutita L. 8-10 g/l, folia Plantaginis majoris 7-10 g/l, Herba Millefolii 4-6 g/l, folia Betula 3-5 g/l. Artemisia vulgaris L. 1-2 g/l, folia Fragaria vesca 3-4 g/l, water 11 maximum) was dripped through a thin suprapubic and urethral drainages. Such phytoperfusion of the urinary bladder used in 22 patients reduced postoperative blood loss, bacteriuria, prevented hemorrhagic and purulent inflammation following adenomectomy. Side systemic effects were not reported.

[The role of a sanatorium-health resort factor in the complex treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis]. / Rol' sanatorno-kurortnogo faktora v kompleksnom lechenii bol'nykh khronicheskim prostatitom.

The results of two-step treatment of 62 patients with chronic prostatitis are presented. The first-step treatment was given at the clinic of the Urologic Research Institute of the RSFSR Ministry of Health, and the second step was completed at the Zheleznovodsk Urologic Clinic of the Pyatigorsk Research Institute of Health Resort Treatment and Physiotherapy. In addition to its medical aspect, treatment for chronic prostatitis has significant social implications, as chronic prostatitis mostly affects males of young or middle age, with the inflammation persisting for long periods of time and leading to sexual and reproductive disorders as well as psychoneuroses. Since chronic prostatitis is regarded as an inflammatory disease of infectious-immunologic etiology, with both parenchymal and interstitial tissues of the prostatic gland affected, the patients underwent antibacterial treatment, adjusted to the causative agent's sensitivity to antibacterial drugs, and the availability of physiotherapeutic procedures in hospital as the first stage of treatment. Those to whom further rehabilitation was indicated were referred to the Zheleznovodsc Urologic Clinic where they were given a treatment course making use of the natural factors: oral and external administration of mineral waters of the Smirnovsky and Slavyanovsky springs, mud treatments and physiotherapy where indicated. Treatment was designed to improve microcirculation in prostatic tissues, and used natural factors, capable of normalizing and activating systemic protective potentials. There were good results (considerably improved general condition, both subjectively felt and objectively documented) in 78%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Intratesticular stimulation of spermatogenesis]. / Intratestikularno stimulirane na spermatogenezata.

The possibility to exert local effect on suppressed spermatogenesis in patients with different forms of secretory sterility is presented. To this end, the authors created an experimental model of 10-minute acute ischemia in mouse testis. Destructive changes in the testicular parenchyma after the 3., 9., 22. and 30 day were observed and described. Testosterone concentration in the tissues of the ischemic and the contralateral testis was determined by highly effective liquid chromatography. It is concluded that saturation of the interstitium with androgens may avert irreversible postischemic sequelae in the testis. At first chorion gonadotropin and testosterone, but later on Sustanon-250 with prolonged action, were used as protectors. This experimental study is a contribution both to the investigation of spermatogenesis physiology and disturbances and to the refinement of the treatment of secretory forms of male sterility.
