PURPOSE: improving the efficiency of diagnosis of placental insufficiency using modern diagnostic methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analysis of individual cards, analysis of the gynecological history and somatic morbidity of 426 pregnant women who did not have somatic pathologies and underwent screenings in accordance with the current regulations were performed. The main group of them consisted of 290 women, who showed signs of chronic placental insufficiency at different stages of pregnancy. The control group consisted of 136 women who had no signs of placental insufficiency throughout their pregnancy. RESULTS: It was revealed that the main reasons for the development of chronic placental insufficiency of the main group are preeclampsia (68.4%), the threat of termination of pregnancy (34.7%), burdened obstetric and gynecological history (32.5%), isoserological incompatibility (25.6%), pyelonephritis during pregnancy (14.2%) and anemia of pregnant women (13.2%). It was revealed that visualization of the fetoplacental complex and measurement of peripheral resistance in the umbilical artery during the second trimester of pregnancy are not very informative. To reduce the negative impact of fetoplacental insufficiency and its timely diagnosis, it is necessary to use radiation methods for examining the motherplacentafetus system. CONCLUSIONS: For timely diagnosis of fetoplacental insufficiency and reduction of its negative impact, it is necessary to use radiation methods of studying the mother-placenta-fetus system.

                                  The issue of preserving the reproductive health of the nation in Ukraine is very acute. The psycho-emotional state of a woman is of particular importance for the prolongation of pregnancy and the normal course of labor. Violation of adaptive mechanisms which are aimed at restructuring the functional systems of the body during pregnancy and on the eve of childbirth, as well as the state of chronic stress contribute to the increase in the of obstetric and perinatal complications frequency and have an adverse effect on the course of pregnancy. The aim of the reaserch was to study the dynamics of psycho-emotional state features in pregnant women after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) application in order to improve the tactics of antenatal surveillance. To achieve this goal, 299 pregnant women were comprehensively examined in the dynamics of prospective observation, which were distributed as follows – the main group included 249 women whose pregnancy occurred as a result of the ART application. The control group consisted of 50 pregnant women with spontaneous pregnancy and its physiological course, which were registered for pregnancy at 6-8 weeks. The women of main group whose pregnancy occurred as a result of ART application were divided into three groups, depending on the factor that caused infertility. The first group included 94 women with tubal-peritoneal factor of infertility, the second group was formed by 87 women with endocrine factor of infertility, the third group included 68 women whose infertility was caused by the male factor. Pregnant women of the study groups by age, marital and social status, place of residence were representative, which allowed further to judge the differences caused by etiological factors of infertility. In order to determine the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women in the study groups in the screening mode, a clinical interview was conducted by filling out questionnaires that contained the constituent questions of the STAI tests in the modification of Yu. L. Khanin and the "Pregnant Attitude Test" by the method of I. V. Dobryakov. The obtained test results indicate that the average score of reactive anxiety in pregnant women of the main group exceeded the same indicator of the control group and was: 49 - pregnant women with tubal-peritoneal type of infertility, 56 - pregnant women with endocrine type of infertility, 44 - pregnant women with male factor of infertility, 24 - control group. According to the results of testing, a significant difference was revealed in the indicators of personal anxiety. The values of indicators of personal anxiety were: 51 - pregnant women with tubal-peritoneal type of infertility, 54 - pregnant women with endocrine type of infertility, 31  -pregnant women with male factor of infertility, 31 - control group. Low level of personal anxiety was observed in 26 (27,6%) pregnant women of I group, 29 (33,3%) pregnant women of II group, which is significantly less in comparison with the indicator of pregnant women of the control group – 33 (66,0%) and III group - 33 (48,5%) (p < 0,05). Moderate type of personal anxiety was observed in 46 (48.9%) pregnant women of group and 40 (45.9%) pregnant women of II group compared to the indicator of the control group – 11 (22, 0%) (p < 0,05). Moderate type of personal anxiety was determined in 25 (36,7%) cases in pregnant women of III group and did not differ significantly from the indicators of I, II and control groups (p > 0,05). A high level of personal anxiety was observed in 22 (23,5%) pregnant women of group I, 18 (20,8%) pregnant women of group II, which is significantly higher in comparison with the indicator of pregnant women of the control group – 6 (12,0%) (p < 0,05). Thus, the study of the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women after the application of ART deviations in the level of personal and reactive anxiety and pathological types of gestational dominant, which are inherent in pregnant women of the main group. Taking into account the above, we consider it appropriate to involve a psychologist to work with the examined pregnant women in order to correct the identified abnormalities.

Introduction. Today, the frequency of infertility is increasing worldwide. Infertility, associated with anovulation, is especially challenging for the medical correction especially. The leading aspect of this problem is hormonal disorders in the body of a woman. The aim of this study was to assess the level of estradiol and progesterone in the blood serum of pregnant women with cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation in the history. Materials and methods. The main group included 30 pregnant women with the II trimester of pregnancy, who had cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation in the past medical history. They got pregnant after assisted reproductive technologies. The control group included 30 pregnant women without cervical insufficiency and with physiological gestation. Estradiol and progesterone levels in blood serum were determined at 20-22 and 30-32 weeks of gestation. Results. The average age of the women in the basic group was statistically higher relative to the control one – 31.30±1.16 and 27.30±0.92 years, respectively (p=0.02). There was no difference in the number of pregnancies in women between both groups. In the main group, 73.33% of the persons were primagravida, 10.00 % of patients had two pregnancies, and 16.67 % - three pregnancies. 56.67 % of the women in the control group were primagravida, 26.67 % had two pregnancies, 16.66 % - three pregnancies. Although primaparas predominated in both groups, the number of such women was in 1.47 times higher in the main group (93.33 %) than in control (63.33 % of patients; χ2=6.28, p=0.01); 6.67 % and 26.67 % women had two labors respectively and 10.00 % of healthy patients - three labors. The concentration of estradiol at the 20-22 and 30-32 weeks of pregnancy in women of the main group almost corresponded to physiological parameters. However, the progesterone level in women with cervical insufficiency and a history of infertility was by 13.44 % lower than in healthy pregnant women at 20-22 weeks, and by 17.02% at 30-32 weeks (p=0.003). Conclusions. In pregnant women with cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation, the level of estradiol in the II and III trimesters of gestation mainly corresponds to the level of physiological pregnancy. However, they have the decrease in progesterone concentration in the III trimester of pregnancy relative to healthy pregnant women (p<0.003).

The article represents the results of a prospective clinical and paraclinical examination of women with a history of infertility, pregnancy in which occurred as a result of the assisted reproductive technologies application. The objective: was to study the dynamics of pregnancy features of the psycho - emotional state and the concentration of stress-associated hormones in the serum of pregnant women after the application of assisted reproductive technologies in order to improve the tactics of antenatal care and prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications. Materials and methods. The main group consisted of 80 pregnant women with endocrine infertility, in which pregnancy occurred as a result of therapeutic cycles of ART, control – 50 first-pregnant women with spontaneous fertilization, taken in an arbitrary order of clinical, statistical and laboratory and instrumental studies. In pregnant women of the study groups, in order to determine the psycho emotional state in the screening mode, a clinical interview was conducted by filling out questionnaires that contained the Spilberger test questions in modification of Y.L. Hanina and «Test of relationof pregnant» by the method of I.V. Dobryakova. In the dynamics of pregnancy, the concentration of prolactin (PRL) and cortisol (K) was determined by the enzyme immunoassay on the Reader-MSR-1000 apparatus using test systems manufactured by Hema-Medicament (Russia). Results. Pregnant women with infertility in past history were characterized by a state of chronic stress. According to the results of the Spielberger test in modification Y .L. Hanina every second pregnant of main group had a high level of reactive and every fourth personal anxiety. Almost 90.0% of pregnant women after art are characterized by the presence of pathological PKGD, among which an alarming and depressive type was registered in every sixth and twelfth pregnant woman, respectively. The obtained data are confirmed by the results of the study of the level of K and PRL. For women with a history of infertility and pregnancy, which is the result of therapeutic cycles of ART, inherent in increasing concentrations of stress-associated hormones – cortisol and prolactin, which is one of the reasons for the complicated course of pregnancy and requires reasonable pathogenetic correction. Conclusion. For women who are pregnant as a result of the use of therapeutic cycles of art characterized by a high level of personal and reactive anxiety and PKGD, which confirm the presence of neuropsychiatric and afferent disorders. Increasing the concentration of stress-associated hormones is one of the causes of complicated pregnancy and requires a reasonable pathogenetic correction. Key words: pregnancy, infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, psychological status, cortisol, prolactin.

Background. Embryo cryopreservation is an essential part of ART programs today. In recent years vitrification method is used increasingly widely. Purposes and tasks. To compare the effectiveness of ART programs using vitrified and fresh embryos, as well as different endometrial preparation regimes for frozen\thawed embryo transfer (modified natural cycle (MNC) and the preparatory hormone therapy(PHT)). To analyze the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes after vitrified embryo transfer. Materials and methods. We prospectively assessed the ART programs effectiveness and perinatal outcomes in 153 patients (I group), who underwent vitrified embryo transfer in 2011-2013 year. To prepare the endometrium for thawed embryo transfer in 83 patients PHT (Ia subgroup) and MNC in 70 patients (Ib subgroup) were used. Control group consisted of 70 patients, who underwent fresh embryo transfer. Results. The clinical pregnancy rate, birth rate and “take home baby” rate were not significantly different between the I (47,5 %; 30,9 %; 30,9 %) and II (53,0 %; 34,9 %; 32,5 %) groups, and between Ia (48,3 %; 28,4 %; 28,4 %) and IIb (46,6 %; 34,1 %; 34,1 %) subgroups. Complications during pregnancy and delivery, birthweight, length, Apgar score, congenital malformation rate did not differ significantly after vitrified and fresh embryo transfer. Conclusion. Vitrification is an effective method to achieve clinical results, comparable to native cycles. Application of PHT and MNC results in similar clinical outcomes. Transfer Vitrified embryo transfer does not have a negative impact on obstetric and perinatal outcomes when compared with native cycles.

Study objective: to determine the role and effectiveness of the proposed therapeutic and preventive complex and psychoemotional correction of hormonal disorders in the pregnancy dynamics after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to improve the antenatal observation and prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications.Materials and methods. The study included 299 pregnant women: the main group included 249 women whose pregnancy occurred as an ART result; the control group included 50 pregnant women with spontaneous pregnancy. Therapeutic and prophylactic complex for pregnant women after ART included: micronized progesterone, magnesium oxide, folic acid, L-arginine aspartate, ω3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and long-term psychological correction on the eve of the ART program, at 8–10, 16–18 and 28–30 weeks of pregnancy. Results. There was a significant increase in the β-chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) level in women of the study groups in the first trimester of pregnancy against the background of the proposed treatment. Mean β-HCG value at 7–8 weeks of gestation in the subgroup IA exceeded the subgroup IB by 37% (p <0.05), in subgroup IIA it exceeded the subgroup IIB by 33% (p <0.05). The mean β-hCG value in subgroups IIIA and IIIB did not have a significant difference in the dynamics of the first trimester compared with the control group and among themselves (p >0.05).Mean progesterone value at 7–8 weeks of gestation in subgroup IA increased by 38% in comparison with pregnant women who received the conventional treatment complex (p <0.05), in subgroup IIA it was 73% higher than in subgroup IIB (p <0.05). There was no significant difference in the progesterone level in subgroups IIIA and IIIB in the dynamics of the first trimester.The average cortisol value at 23–24 weeks of pregnancy in subgroup IA decreased by 42% (p <0.05), in pregnant women with endocrine infertility against the background of the proposed treatment complex it was 62% less than in subgroup IIB (p <0.05). The average cortisol level in women with a male factor of infertility was 63% lower than in subgroup IIIB against the background of the proposed complex (p <0.05).Conclusion. Advanced therapy with micronized progesterone in combination with magnesium saturation, L-arginine aspartate, folic acid, ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as long-term psychoemotional correction is appropriate and effective compared to conventional therapy for pregnant women.

The objective: the study of morphofunctional changes of the fetoplacental complex at 28–33 weeks of gestation in women with early preterm delivery after the application of ART. Patients and methods. We have examined 130 patients whose pregnancy occurred after the use of ART. This is the woman who gave birth at 28–33 weeks of gestation. Of these, 80 women had early premature births in the background premature rupture of fetal membranes, 50 – patients with early preterm delivery and timely rupture of fetal membranes (control group 2). The main group included 4 groups of 20 women with regard to the duration of anhydrous interval: 1.1 – anhydrous interval 5–6 hours (main group 1); 1.2 – anhydrous span 24 hours; 1.3 – anhydrous interval 45–48 hours; 1.4 – anhydrous period 5 days after PRFM. Results. Thus, the results of the research indicate that the main cause of early preterm birth in women after using ART are structural dezorhanization changes of collagen fibers of the connective tissue amnion and chorionic which lead to the appearance of microscopic defects – delamination its surface, causing premature rupture of fetal membranes the launch stage localized focal immediate type hypersensitivity reactions and restructuring epithelial cell membranes. Neutrophil macrophage properties in this case reduced and programmed to perform a cycle of incomplete phagocytosis, which increases the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines in the area of rupture of fetal membranes. Сonclusion. Reduced activity of neutrophils increases the effect of abuse and cytokine balance in favor predictor of early spontaneous labor at 28-33 weeks of gestation. Key words: morphological changes of the fetoplacental complex, early preterm birth, expectant tactics of childbirth.

Study Objective: To optimize pregnancy management and improve delivery outcomes in women with infertility of endocrine origin after the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Study Design: This was an analytical prospective study. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with singleton pregnancy were observed: 74 women with infertility of endocrine origin who had undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) (Group I) and 46 women who became pregnant spontaneously (Group II). The main group (Group I) was divided into subgroup IA (n = 44), in which a comprehensive approach to pregnancy was applied (obstetric pessary and micronized progesterone), and subgroup IB (n = 30) consisting of patients for whom micronized progesterone alone was used. Study Results: Groups I and II differed significantly in miscarriage risk rates: 60.8% and 30.4%, respectively. This complication was most often observed in subgroup IB (80.0%), 2.6 times more often than in Group II (χ2 = 5.700; p = 0,029). There were also statistically significant differences between the groups in the rate of preterm delivery (PD), which was 5.6 times higher in the main group than in the control group (24.3% vs. 4.3%, χ2 = 4.915; p = 0.027). The greatest difference from the control group (9.3 times higher rate) was observed in subgroup IB (χ2 = 10.156; p = 0.004). Conclusion: A comprehensive approach makes it possible to prolong pregnancy, reduce rates of PD by a factor of 2.9 and achieve full-term pregnancies in 86.4% of cases. Keywords: pregnancy, IVF, ART, obstetric complications, perinatal outcomes, Arabin pessary.

Objective. To assess the condition of newborns from women of the late reproductive period (LRP), depending on the parity of births.Material and methods. The authors examined 130 pregnant women and their 130 newborns. Group I consisted of 60 primiparous women of late reproductive period and their 60 newborns, Group II included 40 multiparous women of the late reproductive period and their 40 newborns, Group III (control group) consisted of 30 healthy pregnant women aged from 18 to 25 years and their 30 newborns. The authors performed a retrospective analysis of the gestation course and perinatal outcomes. Ultrasound and neurosonography were used among the instrumental research methods.Results. Women of the late reproductive period gave birth to children in a state of asphyxia twice more often, who develop neurological disorders 1,5 times more often and complex postnatal adaptation and disorders of the perinatal period are twice more likely. Among women of the late reproductive period, primiparous women gave birth to children with the most severe disorders.Conclusion. The high incidence of neurological diseases in children born from women of the late reproductive period is associated with age-related changes in their germ cells, the implementation of assisted reproductive technologies, and the intake of hormonal drugs in early pregnancy. The data obtained should be taken into account by obstetricians in the course of pregnancy in women of late reproductive age; they should be included in the group of high risk of developing neurological disorders in children.

To determine the role and effectiveness of the proposed the­rapeutic and preventive complex in the correction of psychoemotional state in the dynamics of pregnancy in pregnant women after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) application in order to improve the tactics of antenatal obser­vation and prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications. 299 pregnant women were comprehensively examined and a set of therapeutic and preventive measures was carried out: the main group included 249 women whose pregnancy occurred as a result of ART application. The control group consisted of 50 pregnant women with spon­taneous pregnancy. The complex of measures for pregnant women after ART application included: micronized pro­gesterone, magnesium oxide, folic acid, L-arginine aspartate, Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and long-term psychological correction – before ART program, at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy, at 16-18 weeks of pregnancy and at 28-30 weeks of pregnancy. Introduction of the proposed complex of psychoemotional correction contributed to the formation of reactive anxiety and personal anxiety levels at a moderate level in women of subgroups IA-44 (89.8%) and 43 (87.6%), IIA – 43 (89.6%) and 44 (91.7%) and IIIA – 30 (83.3%) and 26 (72.2%), which is considered to be an adaptive, physiological type during pregnancy. The positive effect of the proposed complex of psychoemotional correction demonstrates the improvement of processes of formation of type of component gestational dominant, its return to the optimal type in women of subgroup IA – 41 (83.6%), IIA – 39 (81.3%) and IIIA – 26 (72.2%) that is close to the physiological course of pregnancy and contributes to the reduction of perinatal and obstetric complications among pregnant women of these subgroups.

The objective: determination of risk factors of early preterm labor in single-pregnant women after ART on the basis of clinical and anamnestic data. Materials and methods. We study of 130 single-pregnancy pregnancies among the contingent of women with restored fertility after the use of therapeutic ART programs, which ended with early preterm labor. Group I consisted of 50 pregnant women with premature rupture of the membranes for which the tactics of pregnancy with were born by natural way. The second group consisted of 30 pregnant women with premature rupture of the membranes, who carried out general medical and prophylactic measures in accordance with the clinical protocols in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The control group (GC) has formed 50 pregnant women with early preterm labor with unbroken integrity of the membranes. Results. The retrospective analysis of the methods of fertility restoration in women who were included in the study, carried out by us, indicates the probable relationship of risk of early preterm labor with the ICSI method. The obtained data testify that pregnancy 42.5% of women of the main group, who was chosen ICSI technique ended with early preterm labor. In the contingent of patients whose pregnancy came with IVF, the percentage early preterm labor was 37.5 (р<0.05). The obtained results of researches testify to increase of risks early preterm labor (22.1–29.7%) in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the urinary system, which had a latent course. Conclusions. Among the reliable factors of early preterm labor risk, it is necessary to note the high frequency of intrauterine manipulations of diagnostic and therapeutic nature in the use of ART, which results in receptor dysfunction of the endometrium. Key words: risk factors of early preterm labor, assistive reproductive technologies, ICSI, IVF, premature rupture of the membranes, dysfunction of the endometrium.
