[An anonymous survey of the population for antibodies to the virus causing AIDS].

The anonymous survey of the population for the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carried out in Moscow in 1987 revealed 4 seropositive persons among 10, 117 persons subjected to examination. These 4 persons belonged to typical risk groups with respect to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The questioning of the persons coming for examination made it possible to find out that a large percentage of them really had a risk of contacting HIV infection; besides, a considerable proportion of the visitors proved to have signs of AIDS phobia.

[Male reproductive function after inguinal hernia].

Reproductive function and treatment results have been analysed for 59 patients aged 17 to 32 years after herniotomy. 28 and 31 of them underwent standard and endosurgical interventions, respectively. The control group consisted of 30 healthy males matched for age. As shown by 6-month follow-up, the endosurgical herniotomy was not associated with such complications as hydroscheocele, hydrocele, testicular atrophy, diminution of blood flow along the testicular arteries. Ejaculate, levels of sex hormones in the blood, cremasteric reflex remained intact. After routine herniotomy there appeared defects in scrotal and testicular microcirculation with partial testicular atrophy in 25% of cases, testicular circulation fell 2.2-2.5-fold, deterioration of spermogram and cremasteric reflex parameters, reduction of serum testosterone were observed.
