Introduction. Management and the prevalence of labor complications in patients with premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) is a pressing issue. Aim: to assess the features of childbirth course in patients with PROM during a full-term pregnancy and a favourable cervix. Materials and methods. А prospective analysis of labor course and the postpartum period was performed in 189 patients with a singleton pregnancy with occipital presentation, at least 37-week gestation, of low and moderate risk groups, without contraindications for vaginal delivery. PROM as complicated pregnancy was found in 89 subjects (main group), whereas 100 having labor onset with intact fetal membranes were enrolled into comparison group. The features of labor course were analyzed. Results. Primiparous patients dominated in the main group (66.7 %). The latent period between amniotic fluid discharge to labor onset comprised 4.15 ± 3.48 hours and 3.40 ± 2.13 hours in primiparous and multiparous women, respectively, whereas labor activity in 19 % of women did not develop after 6 hour-latent period. The average duration of labor did not depend on the patient parity and was longer in the group with PROM: 8.06 ± 3.51 hours – in primiparous females, 7.21 ± 2.56 hours – in comparison group (T = –1.99; p = 0.04) due to prolonged first stage of labor. In patients with and without PROM, rate of poor uterine contraction strength was 24.7 % and 18.3 % (p = 0.29), cervical dystocia – 2.25 % and 0 % (p = 0.13), use of oxytocin in childbirth – 35.9 % and 18.3 % (p = 0.007), respectively. Caesarean sections in the main group were recorded in 15 cases (16.85 %), fetal vacuum extraction – 6 cases (6.74 %), whereas in the comparison group – per 2 (2,0 %) cases, respectively (χ2 = 16.13; p < 0.001). Conclusion. Patients with PROM and favourable cervix were shown to have duration of labor, occurrence of operative delivery, rupture of the cervix, and use of oxytocin lasting substantially longer compared to those with the rupture of membranes after onset of the labor. PROM with a favourable cervix occurs more often in primiparous females, which is also coupled to peak rate complications. A 6-hour expectant management is considered as insufficient, because an onset of labor activity in 15.7 % of patients developed after latent period lasting more than 6 hours.

Aim. To study peculiarities of macrophage reaction and humoral immunity in patients with signs of implant-associated inflammation after the primary endoprosthetics of the knee joint. Materials and Methods. Examination of 48 patients with signs of implant-associated inflammation after the primary endoprosthetics of the knee joints (the main group) and of 44 patients without signs of inflammatory reactions (comparison group) was carried out. Control group involved 30 healthy donors without diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Results. In 1 and 12 months after the surgery, patients of the main group showed elevated levels of the factor inhibiting migration of macrophages (MIF), of macrophage stimulating protein (MSP), class A immunoglobulins (IgA), С3 and С4 complement components as compared to control, and also to each previous period. In 1 month after the surgery, the content of class M and G immunoglobulins (IgM and IgG) decreased relative to control; in 12 months after the surgery a more pronounced reduction was noted. Increase in serum concentrations of MIF, MSP, IgA, С3 and С4-complement components was noted in the comparison group in 1 and 12 months and also in comparison with the previous period. Reduction of the levels of IgM, IgG in 1 and 12 months after the operation was noted in comparison with control and with the previous period. Conclusion. A study of parameters of macrophage reaction, proteins of complement system and the main classes of immunoglobulins permits to identify signs of implant-associated inflammation in 1 and 12 months after surgery, and, consequently, to determine patients of risk groups that require additional diagnostics measures.

Objective. To optimize the tactics of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, including with bowel involvement. Patients and methods. The study included 122 patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum, who underwent surgical interventions of different volumes using laparoscopy. The patients were divided into a main group and a comparison group. The main group consisted of 92 patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum who underwent surgical treatment using the original technique of systematic approach; the comparison group consisted of 30 patients who were operated using the generally accepted technique. Results. There was a statistically significant decrease in the operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, as well as more effective relief of dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain syndrome, less complications and relapses in the main group compared to the comparison group. In addition, it was found that the combination of three symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and chronic pelvic pain increase the likelihood of deep infiltrating endometriosis up to 93%. Conclusion. Based on the results obtained, the proposed method of surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis is more efficient and safer in comparison with the generally accepted technique, which can be considered as a valid reason for its wide introduction into clinical practice. Key words: deep infiltrating endometriosis, bowel endometriosis, surgical treatment of endometriosis, treatment algorithm

The aim: To evaluate the peculiarity of clinical manifestations of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in deeply premature infants from mothers with phenotypic markers of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). Materials and methods: The study represent the results of a retrospective clinical and statistical analysis of 268 premature birth report card and newborn report sheet. .The main (1 group) included 50 pregnants with obvious phenotypic markers of UCTD, the comparison group (group 2) consisted of 50 pregnant women without phenotypic markers of UDCTD. Results: According to the study, in 12 (24%) pregnant women of the main group at the time of admission to the clinic had contractions,which required specific therapy. Cervical cerclage was performed in 38 (76%) patients of the main group due to the presence of cervical insufficiency (CI). In these cases, the severity of the CI on the Steinber scale was 7.2 &#177; 0.4 points in the main group against 4.4 &#177; 0.2 points in the comparison group (p &#60;0.05). Group I patients were more likely to have complications of labor such as:premature rupture of membranes, uterine contraction abnormalities and fetal distress, which required in most cases cesarean delivery (7% and 2%), respectively (p &#60;0.05). The incidence of neonatal complications requiring respiratory support was 67% in group I and 48% in group II. According to our observations, the clinical manifestations of bronchopulmonary dysplasia were twice as high in infants of the main group (66%) against (44%) of the comparison group (p &#60;0.05). Conclusions:1.Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants is more often associated from mothers with UDCTD. 2. The high importance of steroid prophylaxis of NRDS and antioxidant therapy in reducing the frequency of mechanical ventilation and the development of bronchopulmonary pathology, especially in infants from mothers with UDCTD syndrome, has been proven. 3. The possibility of diagnosing disorders of functional maturation of the lungs in the fetal period using a non-invasive method of ultrasonography has been confirmed.

Background: Multiparous women who have previously delivered vaginally are generally considered to be at low risk for cesarean section. We aimed to determine the incidence rate and indications for primary cesarean section and operative vaginal deliveries among multiparous women with previous vaginal births. Patients and methods: Multiparous women who had delivered their babies in our clinic between January 2004 and December 2019 were enrolled in this retrospective observational study. The inclusion criteria were as follows: delivery at 37 weeks of gestation or more, singleton pregnancy with a live fetus, had one or more past vaginal deliveries including instrumental vaginal birth, and no history of previous cesarean section. Women with placenta previa, abruptio placentae, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, and uncontrolled medical diseases were referred to tertiary hospitals and excluded from this study. The frequency of occurrence and indications for cesarean section and vacuum extraction, duration of labor, and the effect of induction of labor on the cesarean section rates were analyzed. Results: A total of 3094 multiparous women were enrolled. Primary cesarean section was performed in 30 women (30/3094=0.97%). The indications for cesarean section included the following: breech presentation in 28 women, myomectomy after the first vaginal birth in one (of 29 elective cesarean sections), and failed vacuum extraction after a prolonged second stage in one (one emergency cesarean section). Vacuum extraction was performed in 61 women (61/3094=2.0%), the indications for which were non-reassuring fetal status (n=38), prolonged 2nd stage of labor (n=10), and narrow pelvic outlet (n=10). Vaginal breech delivery occurred in 11 women. Induction of labor (n=402) did not affect the cesarean section rate. Conclusion: In multiparous women, breech presentation was the main indication for primary cesarean sections, and the cesarean section rate was very low in women with cephalic presentation.

Despite the introduction of modern diagnostic technologies, prophylaxis and treatment techniques in obstetrical practice, the incidence of postpartum purulent-septic complications (PPSC) remains rather high and is an important medical and social problem, as they take one of the leading places in the structure of maternal morbidity and mortality. The objective: to improve the management of parturient womenwith a perineal birth injury in anamnesis, as part of an effective prevention of purulent-septic complications of puerperium. Materials and methods. The study included 77parturient women. Main and comparative groups were formed by women with a violation of the integrity of the perineum in the previous labor and with a high risk of developing infectious complications in puerperium. Women of the main group (n = 24) during each vaginal examination in labor (and an additional injection in 15-30 minutes after the rupture of the membranes) and twice a dayat a dose of 5 ml for 5 days postpartum, an antiseptic agent in the form of a vaginal gel, which consists of: 0.02% decamethoxin (antiseptic component), 0.5% hyaluronic acid (regenerating component) and lactate buffer (regulatory component). The comparison group included 27 women, without using vaginal gel in laborand using traditional wound treatment techniques in the postpartum period. The control group consisted of 26 women with uncomplicated somatic status, physiological course of pregnancy and labor. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment was based on subjective symptoms (pain, discomfort, burning in the region of the perineal sutures), clinical data (swelling, hyperemia, nature of suturing healing), generally accepted indicators in dynamics (bacterioscopy of vaginal contents, pH-metry of the vaginal environment). Results. At the background of the use of three-component vaginal gel in the main group, the level of injury of soft tissues of the birth canal in these deliveries was lower by 19.9% than in the comparison group, prevalence of the 1st degreeperineumruptures, decreased the need for repeated episio- and perineotomy, which reduced the duration stay at hospital and improved postpartum rehabilitation in relation to the comparison group. On the third day of puerperium, hyperemia and edema of the wound area in women of the main group were observed almost three times less compared with the comparison group. On the fifth day of the puerperium in the main group the complaints were insignificant and appeared on the average 5 times less often, the healing was by the primary tension without infectious complications. The use of vaginal gel reduced the number of leukocytes in wound secretions by shortening the time of wound epithelization (1.5 times faster than in the parous from the comparison group). On the fifth day of using vaginal gel, 2/3 of the patients observed normalization of the vaginal microflora, the restoration of pH was observed. The results indicate the benefits of early onset of prophylactic measures and high effectiveness of topical antiseptic therapy in women with high infectious risk. Conclusions.In order to prevent antibiotic resistance tactics of prevention of PPSC in the group of high-risk septic complications provides one of the elements of anintegrated approach to use local antiseptics. Inclusion of the latter into a complex of prophylactic and treatment measures in the management of a high-riskwomen in puerperium contributes to the reduction of traumatic and infectious complications and provides more favorable course of labor and the postpartum period. Key words: labor traumatism, postpartum purulent-septic complications, local antiseptic.

Aim. To improve the results of the surgical component in the treatment of a nodular form of breast cancer with lateral and central localization by analyzing hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood in the foci of breast cancer, regional lymph nodes and resection line of the breast. Methods. The study involved 175 patients with a nodular form of breast cancer with lateral and central localization (T23N12M0), including 86 in the main group and 89 in the comparison group. In the main group, hemoglobin oxygen saturation in arterial blood of the foci of breast cancer, parenchyma, pectoral muscles and regional lymph nodes was examined for spread of cancer during surgery for nodular breast cancer by using a device developed by us (patent RU 2581266). This examination was not performed in the comparison group. Histopathological examination of resection specimens revealed confirmation of the main foci of breast cancer and the presence of metastases in the regional lymph nodes and pectoral muscles of the breast. Statistical analysis of the data was performed by using the Statistica 10 software. The arithmetic mean, the standard error of the mean and the standard deviation were calculated for the quantitative indicators. Results. In the main group, 86 patients had no recurrence and metastases in the follow-up, while in the comparison group, cancer recurrence was identified in 89 patients and metastases was found during cytological and histological studies in 9 patients. Conclusion. Determination of hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial blood during surgery in the subclavian, axillary and subscapular lymph nodes as well as in the pectoralis major and minor muscles allows clarifying the distribution of breast cancer, specifying the scope of the operation and improving the results of the surgical component of breast cancer treatment (T23N12M0).

The prevalence of comorbidities has been growing for the last decades. Therefore, the detection of biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes is of great practical importance. The aim of this study was to assess the biomarkers of osteo-defficiency in the course of secondary osteoporosis in patients with comorbid chronic pancreatitis and arterial hypertension. We examined 110 patients with chronic pancreatitis: 70 of them had comorbid hypertension, and 40 patients were found as having no comorbidities. The age of patients ranged from 33.2 ± 2.1 (main group) and 32.9 ± 3.1 years (comparison group); women predominated (72.9% and 70%, respectively). The control group includes 78 healthy individuals of the same age and sex. Diagnostic investigation included studying clinical and anamnestic characteristics of patients (duration of the disease, manifestations of the course, frequency of recrudescence, fractures) and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism: osteocalcin, total bone phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the establishment of correlations between these parameters and incidence of complications. It was found that in the isolated course of chronic pancreatitis there is a high (R = 0.60) statistically significant (p <0.01) correlation between the levels of osteocalcin and pancreatic elastase-1. A negative statistically significant (p <0.01) mean correlation (R = -0.49) was found between the content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and age of the patients having comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and hypertension, as well as there is a moderate correlation between the content of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase and the duration of hypertension, which is statistically significant (R = 0.36, p <0.01). The levels of total bone phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in the main group exceeded the reference values in 2.5 and 1.9 times respectively (CMU; U = 866.0; p <0.01), while in the comparison group were 2 times (total bone phosphatase) and 1.3 times higher (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) times, respectively (CMU; U = 821.0; p <0.01) that enables to diagnose the development of osteopenic conditions. That is, the combined course of chronic pancreatitis and hypertension should be considered as unfavourable tandem in the development of secondary osteoporosis and requires early osteoporotic screening.
