ABSTRACT
The data on the formation of blastocysts in culture during therapeutic cycles of extracorporeal fertilization and on cytotoxic index of the endometrium in women with different clinical pathogenetic variants of sterility are presented. Analysis of correlations of these parameters with the incidence of effective implantation and pregnancy revealed a strict correlation between cytotoxic activity of endometrial immunocompetent cells and human embryo implantation.

There were examined 115 patients with I and II stages alcoholism who had hypomaniacal syndrome. This syndrome was observed in form of "jolly hypomania" in the I stage of alcoholism and by more complex forms--"angry" or "obsessive" hypomania--in the II stage.

Studies of lipid metabolism and peroxidation values, carried out in healthy newborns in the town of Irkutsk, have shown that total lipid and triglyceride levels in these newborns over the first ten days of their lives were similar to those in age-matched infants in the European USSR, whereas plasma total cholesterol levels were significantly higher in them as against the newborns in other regions of the country. The studies included measurements of malonic dialdehyde and total antioxidative activity of blood plasma and red cells, of catalase and peroxidase activities, of red cell peroxidation resistance.

During measurements of the content of malonic dialdehyde and the total antioxidant activity in blood plasma and red blood cells as well as of their peroxide resistance in healthy neonates, it has been established that in boys and girls the majority of the study parameters did not differ within the first 6 days of life. At the same time in girls, catalase and peroxidase of red blood cells were activated and the total antioxidant activity of blood plasma was increased since the first days after the birth.
