Objective. To investigate the NT-proBNP concentration in ejaculate samples from healthy men and men with oligozooastenospermia. Materials and methods. The study included 52 men of reproductive age (34.4 3.9 years). The main group (n = 18) consisted of men with reduced ejaculate fertility, the comparison group (n = 34) consisted of men with normal levels of concentration and total sperm count. In seminal plasma, the concentration of NT-proBNP was investigated by solid-phase ELISA using the NT-proBNP-ELISA-BEST test system (A-9102) (Vector-Best, Russia). Results. The mean value of NT-proBNP content in the ejaculate (n = 52) was 29.498 pg / ml, the median concentration was 2.860 pg / ml and was characterized by high variability. In 62% (32 of 52) of the tested seminal plasma samples, the NT-proBNP value was below 20 pg / ml. The frequency of samples with such a low NT-proBNP content did not differ statistically significantly between the groups. In the main group, the number of such samples was 44 % (8 samples out of 18), and in the comparison group, 65 % (12 samples out of 34). Conclusions. When comparing the content of NT-proBNP in seminal plasma, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups. An analysis of the correlation between the concentration and the number of sperm in the ejaculate and the NT-proBNP content also did not reveal a statistically significant relationship. The possible role of natriuretic peptides in human fertility is discussed.

Synthesis Of Hormones

Background. There are not enough publications devoted to the study of erythropoietin in human sperm. According to the results of these studies, the erythropoietin takes part in the regulation of spermatogenesis, affecting the synthesis of hormones, in particular steroid ones. Currently, the physiological and pathogenetic effects of erythropoietin on human ejaculate have not been thoroughly studied. In this regard, the study of this protein in the ejaculate in patients with diseases of the male reproductive system, as well as in their absence, is relevant.The study objective is to determine the concentration of erythropoietin in ejaculate samples of healthy and men with oligoastenozoospermia.Materials and methods. Samples of ejaculate of 52 men of reproductive age were examined. The ejaculate was examined using the SQA-V sperm analyzer (MES, Israel). According to the results of the study, two groups were identified: the main group (n = 18) with reduced fertility and the control group (n = 34) with normal spermogram indicators. In seminal plasma samples, the concentration of erythropoietin was determined by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay using the test system “Erythropoietin-IFA-BEST” (A-8776) (Vector-best LLC, Russia).Results. Erythropoietin was detected in all ejaculate samples, the results ranged from 9.37 to 193.95 mME / ml and varied 20.7 times (p = 0.3). The median concentration in the main group was 64.49 mME / ml (41.96; 118.16 mME / ml) and 1.36 times higher than the results of the comparison group, which were 47.16 mME / ml (18.15; 90.94 mME / ml). No statistically significant regularities were found between the concentration of erythropoietin and the indicators of ejaculate fertility (r <|0,3|).Conclusion. In oligoastenozoospermia, there is a tendency to increase the content of erythropoietin in the seminal plasma, which requires further research, taking into account a more detailed stratification of the groups examined for reasons that caused a decrease in the number of spermatozoa.

Purpose. Revealing of the ocular risk factors in the formation of diabetic macular edema (ME) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).Patients and methods. A 3.5-year research of 80 patients (160 eyes) with DM2 without signs of ME at the beginning of the research was performed. The main group consisted of 46 patients with ME symptoms on one or both eyes during the research period, the comparison group included 34 patients without ME symptoms to the end of the research. The initial ocular characteristics were retrospect compared in groups.Results. The mean value of the axial lengths (AL) in the eyes of the main group was 23.12 ± 0.75 mm compared to 23.82 ± 0.62 mm in the comparison group (significant difference, p < 0.01). AL was less than 23.5 mm in 66 % of the eyes in the main group and only in 22 % of the eyes in the comparison group (p < 0.01). The mean value of the initial macular retina volume in the main group was significantly higher than in the comparison group — 7.51 ± 0.22 mm3 and 7.21 ± 0.12 mm3, respectively (p < 0.01). Initial background diabetic retinopathy (DR) was noted in 73 % of the eyes in the main group, which significantly differed from the comparison group, where this index was noted only in 13 % of the eyes (p < 0.01).Conclusion. Significant ocular risk factors for the formation of ME in patients with DM2 are: the initial macular retina volume more than 7.3 mm3, the value of the AL less than 23.5 mm; the initial background DR. The use of the detected morphometric parameters of eye and retina in combination with an adequate assessment of the risk factors in human organism makes it possible to assume with high degree of probability a high risk of the primary formation of diabetic ME in patients with DM2.

The objective: to increase the effectiveness of local therapy for recurrent nonspecific vaginitis associated with cervicitis in women of reproductive age on the basis of a comparative evaluation of combined drugs Terzhinan and Neo Penotran Forte. Materials and methods. A prospective, open comparative study included 56 women aged 27.5±2.8 years with recurrent nonspecific vaginitis and cervicitis who were randomized to the main group and comparison group. Patients of the main group (n=28) received the drug Terzhinan® (1 vaginal tablet in the evening, before bed, for 10 days). The comparison group included 28 patients who received Neo-Pentran Forte (1 vaginal suppository in the evening, before bedtime, for 10 days), one vaginal suppository containing 750 mg of metronidazole and 200 mg of miconazole nitrate. The complex clinical-paraclinical examination included the determination of the state of the vaginal microbiota using several methods in parallel: a bacterioscopy of vaginal smears stained by Gram, a bacteriological rapid method using AFGENITAL SYSTEM (Liofilchem®, Italy), real-time PCR (Florocenosis) with detection antigens of chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, trichomonads. Results. The main reason for the treatment of patients were abundant pathological discharge from the genital tract (73.2%), pruritus (37.5%) and burning (23.2%) in the vulva, pain during sexual intercourse (8.9%), while 33.9% of women expressed combined complaints. Attention was drawn to the significant frequency of dyshormonal pathology among women with recurrent cervico-vaginal infections. In the examined women, uterine leiomyoma was diagnosed (28.6%), genital endometriosis (19.6%), fibrocystic breast disease (37.5%), combined benign dyshormonal diseases of the genital organs (14.3%). About 21.4% of patients treatment of thyroid gland dysfunction (hypothyroidism). According to the comprehensive examination, in all patients of clinical groups, decompensated vaginal dysbiosis was diagnosed, which was manifested by a sharp decrease in the absence of Lactobacillus spp strains in 39.3% of patients and an increase in the number of isolated opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms to 1011 CFU/ml with an increase in the number of microorganisms in microbial associations (from 2–3 to 5–6 conditionally pathogenic and pathogenic pathogens) in all the cases analyzed. When using the genital express system in vaginal contents, women of the main group identified Escherichia coli (17.9%), Pseudomonas spp. (10.7%), Gardnerella vaginalis (39.3%), Staphylococcus aureus (17 9%), Enterococcus faecalis (25.0%), Streptococcus Group B (10.7%), Candida spp. (46.4%), Mycoplasma spp./Ureaplasma ur. in the title > 105 (14.0%). In the comparison group, the spectrum of detected pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms did not differ significantly from the data of the main group. 92.6% of patients in the main group had a pronounced positive clinical effect, and a positive microbiological effect was achieved in 96.4% of cases that persisted during the next two months of follow-up. Without additional prescription of antifungal agents, a positive effect was achieved in 84.6% of patients in the main group with mixed bacterial-candidiasis vaginitis at 54.5% in the comparison group. The independent recovery of the lactobacilli pool to a titer of 107–109 CFU/ml in 17.9% of patients with a lack of detection of lactobacilli before treatment. A similar effect was not observed in the comparison group. Сonclusion. In a comparative study of the results of the use of Terzhinan and Neo-Penotran Forte in monotherapy in patients with inflammatory diseases of the lower genitalia (nonspecific recurrent vaginitis and cervicitis), the high clinical and microbiological efficacy of Terzhinan has been demonstrated. Key words: mixed vaginitis, cervicitis, Terzhinan, Neo-Penotran Forte.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of a tranexamic acid for the prevention of critical bleeding in women with preeclampsia. Materials and methods. 31 puerperas with postpartum hypotonic bleeding. Inclusion criteria: reproductive age, severe preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, volume of blood loss – 700 ml, voluntary consent to the administration of the tranexamic acid. Exclusion criteria: delivery by the caesarean section. When providing emergency care, along with other standard measures, 14 women (the main group) were injected with the tranexamic acid when blood loss reached 700 ml, 17 women (the comparison group) did not receive the tranexamic acid. Research methods: measurement of the volume of blood loss (by the calculation method and by the method of measuring blood loss), statistical analysis – comparison of populations by qualitative characteristics. Results and discussion. A bleeding with a blood loss of 700-800 ml was registered in 7 women of the main group and in 6 women of the comparison group, with a blood loss of 800-900 ml – in 6 and 4 women, with the blood loss 900-1000 ml – in 1 and 7 women, respectively. There was a significant difference in outcomes (blood loss – 900-1000 ml) depending on the use of the tranexamic acid (Fisher’s exact test – 0.04537; p<0.05). Evaluation of the strength of the relationship between the frequency of aggravation of bleeding and the use of the tranexamic acid for the prevention of massive bleeding established a relationship of average strength (Cramer’s criterion – 0.387). Pregnant women with severe preeclampsia are at risk of the developing obstetric bleeding, which is associated with secondary changes in the hemostatic system in women with preeclampsia. With obstetric bleeding in women with preeclampsia, the balance between the coagulation, anti-coagulation and fibrinolytic systems is disturbed faster. Fibrinolysis is activated faster due to the limitation of thrombus formation due to the breakdown of fibrin in thrombi and the fibrinolytic properties of the fibrin breakdown products themselves. The use of the tranexamic acid in the obstetric bleeding is justified by the antifibrinolysis effect of the drug. Further research on the use of the tranexamic acid for the prevention of massive bleeding, confirmed by laboratory data, is highly relevant. Conclusions. The use of tranexamic acid with the onset of obstetric bleeding in women with risk factors for the secondary thrombocytopathy will prevent the aggravation of coagulopathy and reduce the incidence of massive obstetric bleeding caused by a disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Aim. To improve the results of treatment of chronic pelvic pain in women secondary to chronic nonspecific salpingoophoritis and chronic cystitis. Methods. Examined were 91 women of reproductive age suffering from pelvic pain. The patients comprised two groups. The first group included 68 women in the treatment of which physical exercise therapy, electromagnetic resonance radiation and laser treatment were used. The comparison group included 23 women who received conventional therapy. Used were the generally accepted clinical and special methods of investigation: determined was the content of gonadotropic and steroid hormones, conducted were sonographic, urodynamic studies, laser Doppler flowmetry, assessed was the heart rate variability by the R.M. Baevskiy technique. The medical and psychological examination of women included a study of a women’s personality traits with the help of classical psycho-diagnostic methods. Results. Chronic pelvic pain in women is accompanied by a disturbance of the autonomic balance, increase in the activity of the regulatory systems and psychoemotional disorders, in the structure of which anxiety and depression conditions dominate. The influence of these disturbances on the major categories of quality of life has been established. After treatment was completed marked improvement was observed in the women of the main group; herein the disappearance of major symptoms, normalization of laboratory data, ultrasound investigation data, indicators of microcirculation occurred in a shorter time; the duration of treatment decreased. In the long-time registered was a decrease of the frequency of exacerbations of the disease in the main group of women by 2.6 times relative to the comparison group of patients. The economic effectiveness of the proposed methods of treatment was 40.2%. Conclusion. The usage of physiotherapy techniques in the treatment of pelvic pain made it possible to reduce the treatment time, reduce the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, to establish an economic effect.

Cervical cancer is one of the widespread diseases that have a negative impact on the reproductive health. However, medical-social risk factors which provoke this pathology aren't studied sufficiently yet. We have identified the most significant medical-social risk factors of cervical cancer's development and progression based on data analysis of a sociological study. Thus, it was found that cervical cancer can't be associated with predominantly late reproductive age of women in conditions of the Republic of Belarus: most of the patients with this pathology (more than 53%) were under the age of 35 years old. The group of patients suffered from cervical cancer was quite homogeneous in their social status, which was average and relatively stable in a large majority of them (more than 90%), despite employment in various sectors of the national economy. Social functioning of these patients wasn't significantly different from the main population of women in reproductive age. Thus, early sexual activity and random early sexual relations weren't characteristic for the majority of them: 86.1±4.46% (the control group – 87.3±5.51%, the comparison group – 78.2±3.96%) and 83.5±4.72% (the control group – 89.1±4.28%, the comparison group – 75.2±2.36%). Moreover, the married patients of the main group had the most ordered sexual behavior (p<0.01; tau=0.572) which determined the low prevalence of artificial abortions among them, including menstrual cycle regulation (less than 8%). However, the revealed different defects of health-saving behavior in the main group of patients (more than 70%), including an insufficient level of valeological knowledge, the presence of common harmful habits and low medical activity, indicate that there are significant reserves for improvement of the preventive activities of medical stuff in the field of primary medical care for the development of a healthy lifestyle among female population of reproductive age and providing clinical examination among this contingent of females in reproductive age with the purpose of cervical cancer prevention.

Hypothesis/aims of study. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is an independent risk factor for the development of GDM. Among other risk factors are overweight, diabetes burdened heredity, previous GDM, previous birth weight more than 4 kgs, stillbirth, miscarriage in history, glucosuria, polyhydramnios in this pregnancy, age over 30 years, polycystic ovary syndrome. The most significant risk factor for GDM is excess weight before pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the risks of GDM in patients after ART. Study design, materials, and methods. 342 case histories of women with single pregnancy for the period 2014–2017 were studied on archival material. The main group consisted of 234 women with single pregnancy after ART. The comparison group comprised 108 medical records of fertile women with a history of single pregnancy that occurred spontaneously. The exclusion criteria in the comparison group were pregestational diabetes mellitus and severe extragenital pathology. Results. The incidence of GDM was significantly higher in the group of women in whom pregnancy occurred after ART compared to the comparison group (15.4 ± 0.4% and 5.5 ± 0.4% respectively). In the main group, patients were more likely to have overweight, extragenital pathology and pregnancy complications. Conclusion. The increase in the frequency of GDM among patients after ART is probably associated with late reproductive age, initially negative somatic background at the time of entry into the IVF protocols, as well as long-term hormone therapy during pregnancies after ART, starting from early terms.

The article describes the offered by us multicomponent remedy based on chitosan, to provide analgesic and wound-healing effect in patients with acantholytic lesions of the prosthetic bed tissues. Objective of the study. To improve the conditions of removable dentures use for patients with acantholytic pemphigus. Materials and methods. The study involved 56 patients with acantholytic pemphigus, aged from 45 to 63 years old, who were divided into 2 clinical groups. The main group used the proposed remedy; the comparative group received the standard local pemphigus treatment. Methods for determining the area of ​​mucus lesion and the method for determining the intensity of pain syndrome were used to evaluate the final results. Results of the study and their discussion. The average value of visual analogue scale (VAS) was 4.76±0.56 cm in patients of the main group during the first day. During the 7th and 14th day, the value decreased to 2.4±0.28 cm and 1.87±0.12 cm, respectively. In patients of the comparison group, the average value of VAS was 5.07±0.36 cm as for the first day and 4.45±0.45 and 2.36±0.17 cm during the 7th and 14th days, respectively. The ratio of the mean value of the affected area in patients of the main group and the comparison group was 1.04 during the first day, and during the 7th and 14th day the area of ​​injury in patients of the main group was lower 1.29- and 1.84 -fold, respectively. Conclusions The results of the study confirm the necessity of using a multicomponent remedy based on chitosan together with the removable dentures in patients with acantholytic pemphigus, due to its clearly expressed epithelial and analgesic action.
