Current document presents the expert consensus of Russian Association of Endocrinologists and Russian Society of Obstetrician- Gynecologists on diagnostic criteria of gestational diabetes and other glycemic disorders of pregnancy. The consensus is based on analysis of HAPO (Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Study) - a major multinational study, that included more than 23000 patients. Project of current consensus was repeatedly discussed during meetings of the research group and publicly addressed at 6th Pan-Russian Congress of Endocrinology with international participation ?Modern Endocrine Technologies?, as well as Pan-Russian Educational Interscience Conference ?Complicated Pregnancy and Preterm Birth?.

The purpose of the review a synthesis of research data on the role of human papillomavirus infection in the reproductive health of women and men. Key Points. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted viruses worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, HPV is the main cause of the development of HPV-associated diseases among both women and men. Viruses are subdivided into HPV with low carcinogenic risk, which cause benign warts, and HPV with high carcinogenic risk, which cause cancer. Different types of human papillomaviruses depending on their characteristic tropism, are divided into skin and mucous types. Viral infection in men leads to a decrease in the quality of sperm (for example, asthenozoospermia) due to apoptosis in sperm cells and due to the development of antisperm immunity. A negative viral effect on the fertility of women is manifested in an increase in the frequency of spontaneous miscarriages and a premature rupture of the amniotic membranes during pregnancy. There is evidence that HPV decreases the number of trophoblastic cells and abnormal trophoblastic-endometrial adhesion is also observed. In trophoblastic cells transfected with high-risk HPV, the level of apoptosis increases. HPV vaccination is safe, and the results show not only protection against HPV-associated diseases in women and men, but also a reduction of gestational complications, reduced preterm birth rates and the protection of newborns from infection.

Current document presents a coherent viewpoint of Russian Association of Endocrinologists and Russian Association of Obstetriciansand Gynaecologists on diagnostic criteria of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and other glycemic disorders during gestation. Currentapproach is based on analysis of high-profile multinational study HAPO (Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Study),which included more than 23 000 pregnant women. This project was repeatedly reviewed on workgroup sessions and presented orallyon 6th Russian Congress of Endocrinology with international participation, as well as Russian interdisciplinary educational congressGestational Complications and Premature Delivery.
