Background. E-cadherin is known as one of the endometrial receptivity biomarkers.Objective: to conduct a comparative analysis of the endometrial E-cadherin expression in healthy fertile women and patients with reproductive dysfunctions with the ovulatory menstrual cycle.Design and methods. The main group consisted of patients with infertility (n = 81) and early pregnancy loss (n = 40), the control group — of 16 healthy fertile women. All subjects underwent endometrial biopsy and venipuncture to receive peripheral blood sample (to determine estradiol and progesterone levels) at 6–8 days after ovulation. Endometrial specimens were assessed by histological and immunohistochemical (evaluation of e-cadherin expression) methods.Results. In patients with reproductive failure, the frequency of apparent E-cadherin expression in the luminal (89 %, n = 84 out of 94) and glandular (74 %, n = 89 out of 121) epithelium did not differ from the corresponding indicators in fertile women (luminal epithelium — 94 %, n = 15 out of 16, gland — 88 %, n = 14 out of 16) (p > 0.05 for all indicators). The frequency of reduced E-cadherin endometrial expression was similar in patients of the main group with complete secretory transformation of the endometrium (1), incomplete secretory transformations (2) and in healthy women (3): respectively in the luminal epithelium — 7 % (n = 3 out of 43) (1), 14 % (n = 7 out of 52) (2), 6 % (n = 1 out of 16) (p > 0.05); in the glands — 20 % (n = 10 out of 51) (1), 31 % (n = 22 out of 70) (2), 13 % (n = 2 out of 16) (3) (p > 0.05).Conclusion. In patients with the history of reproductive disfunctions freaquency of lower/higher E-cadherin expression was similar to those in healthy fertile women.

Aim: to evaluate the endometrial expression of e-cadherin in relation to the estrogen-progesterone-receptor status of the endometrium.Materials and methods. In total 137 women were examined including 81 patients with infertility and 40 with a history of early pregnancy loss (main group); for comparison, 16 healthy fertile women (control group) were also examined. Endometrial aspiration biopsy was performed on 6–8 days after ovulation; in parallel, a peripheral blood sample was taken to determine the levels of estradiol and progesterone. A histological and immunohistochemical study of the endometrium with determination of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors and e-cadherin expression was carried out.Results. All fertile women (n = 16) and only 44 % (n = 53) of patients in the main group had the normal pattern of hormonereceptor endometrial interactions, i. e., low expression of ER and PR in the endometrial glands as well as reduced expression of ER and high expression of PR in the endometrial stroma. The endometrial e-cadherin expression was assessed in the following cohorts: a) women with normal hormone-receptor interactions (16 women in the control group and 53 women in the main group); b) with abnormal variants of hormone-receptor interactions in the endometrium (68 patients in the main group). The frequency of reduced e-cadherin expression was significantly lower in the cohort of women with normal estrogenprogesterone-receptor endometrial status (a) than in the cohort of women with abnormal variants of the endometrial “response” (b): in the luminal epithelium – in 5 % (3 out of 63) (а) vs. 17 % (8 out of 47) (b) (p < 0.05); in the glands – in 13 % (9 out of 69) (a) vs. 37 % (25 out of 68) (b) (p < 0.05).Conclusion. The estrogen-progesterone-receptor status of the endometrium is significant for the e-cadherin expression in the luminal epithelium and glands of the endometrium.

Extensive evaluation of 76 women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared with 25 fertile women as control group was achieved by routine investigations and hormonal study of each female which were done in one period during the menstrual cycle. Then the women with PCOS have been divided into 2 groups according to their menstrual cycle (irregular menstrual cycle) during assessing their hormonal profiles as follow:- 1- (54) Patients with oligomenorrhea. 2- (22) Patients with menorrhea. This study shows that the women with PCOs have different clinical features taken from a history of disease of all of the women. Those features were distributed as follow: 57.92% of them suffer from hirsutism. 19.24% suffer from irregular menstrual cycle, obesity in 67%, 9 patient with acne vulgaris, and more than 50% of them have most of the clinical symptoms at same time. It is also found that the hormonal disorder is the main cause of this disease with other cawes.

Abstract This study investigated the endometrial tissue to study the fluctuation of estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) in women with recurrent miscarriage compared with normal endometrium of fertile women. Forty women were divided into two groups: 20 non-pregnant women with history of recurrent miscarriage (who had three or more first- trimester miscarriages) and 20 controls. Both groups had regular ovulatory menses and proven fertility. Endometrial biopsy was taken in the two groups during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, between the 8th and the 10th postovulatory days using an endometrial biopsy curette for determination of estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) hormones levels and their receptors. On the same day as the biopsy, a blood sample was taken for determination of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels. The obtained results showed no significant differences between both groups regarding age, BMI, menarche, menstrual cycle & menstruation, significant decrease in E2 and P4 levels in the serum and endometrial biopsy of recurrent miscarriage women versus control. In control and recurrent miscarriage; ER levels in cytoplasm and salt extracted nucleus were higher than PR levels. ER and PR values were higher in the nuclear compartment than in the cytoplasmic compartment. The women with early recurrent miscarriage showed lower levels of both ER and PR significantly. All types of endometrial receptors (ER &PR) and hormones (E2 &P4) in serum and endometrium showed correlation relating to number of previous miscarriages.

Aim: to analyze the endometrial expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) related to the estrogen/progesterone receptor endometrial status in women with the history of reproductive dysfunctions.Materials and methods. The main group consisted of patients with the history of infertility (n = 81) or early pregnancy loss (n = 40). The control group included 16 women with normal fertility. At days 6–8 after ovulation, endometrial biopsy was performed and peripheral blood samples were taken to assess the estradiol and progesterone levels. Histological and immunohistochemical (to quantify the estrogen (ER)/progesterone (PR) receptors and LIF expression) examinations of the endometrium biopsy materials were carried out.Results. In the middle phase of the secretion, women of the control group showed higher levels of LIF expression in the endometrial glands (94%; n = 15) and stroma (88 %; n = 14) significantly more often than patients with reproductive dysfunctions – 69 % (n = 84) and 44 % (n = 53) respectively (p < 0.05). There was no difference in the endometrial LIF expression between women with infertility and those with early pregnancy loss. In women with a sizable hormone-receptor 'response', a pronounced expression of LIF in the luminal epithelium (87 %; n = 52 out of 60) and stroma (68 %; n = 47 out of 69) was detected more often (p < 0.01) than that in patients with impaired hormone-receptor interactions (61 %, n = 27 of 44; 29 %, n = 20 of 68). High PR expression in the endometrial glands (H-score > 105) indicates the risk of impaired LIF expression in the luminal epithelium (OR =2.6) and stroma (OR = 2.5). Overexpression of ER (H-score > 155) in the endometrial stroma is associated with the risk of sub-normal LIF expression in the endometrial glands (OR = 2.5) and stroma (OR = 2.8).Conclusion. A meaningful connection has been found between the endometrial estrogen/progesterone receptor status and the expression of LIF. Women with well-pronounced endometrial hormone-receptor interactions show high levels of endometrial LIF expression more often. The stromal ER and glandular PR expression levels are considered to be prognostic factors of reduced endometrial LIF expression in the uterine body mucosa.

A comparative analysis of the levels of estradiol and progesterone in the blood, immunohistochemical parameters of estrogen receptors and progesterone in endometrium in women with a history of reproductive disorders is presented. It was found that all women had an ovulatory ovarian cycle, levels of estradiol and progesterone in the blood were within the reference values. In women with reproductive failures in the history (n=107), four types of hormone-receptor response in the endometrium were identified. In 46 (43%) women, the first (normoreceptor) type of endometrial response was detected, without significant differences from the control group (n=15) corresponding to the middle stage of the secretion phase. Hyperreceptor (hyper-estrogen-progesterone-receptor, hyper-estrogen-receptor, hyper-progesterone-receptor) types have been identified in 61 patients (57%) with reproductive dysfunctions. The endometrium corresponded to the mid secretory phase was detected in 47 (44%), inadequate secretory phase of the endometrium - in 60 (56%) women with reproductive failures in the anamnesis. All women in the control group had a full secretory change in the endometrium. In general, more than half (61 (57%)) of women with reproductive failures in the history with the ovulatory menstrual cycle with normal values of the level of progesterone in the blood showed signs of a decreased endometrial receptivity status. This indicates that the ovulatory level of progesterone in the blood is not an unconditional predictor of full secretory transformations of the endometrium.

Іntroduction. Today, a quarter of the population of economically developed countries has a body weight that is 15% larger than the norm. According to various authors, the timely onset of menarche in women with various forms of obesity and reproductive dysfunction is observed in 31% of cases only. Obesity results in insulin resistance, which in its turn results in hyperinsulinemia. The main reason of the connection of insulin resistance with reproductive function disorders consists in the specific influence of insulin on ovaries. Insulin suppresses apoptosis, binding to receptors of various growth factors that promotes long existence of atresizing follicles. In the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome, along with the development of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, a significant role belongs to the imbalance of adipocytokines, one of which is adiponectin. The aim is to analyze metabolic processes in the formation of menstrual dysfunction in adolescent girls with obesity to improve diagnostic methods of menstrual disorders. Material and methods. Clinical and laboratory examination of adolescent girls aged 12-18 years was held, among which 79 had obesity and complaints about menstrual dysfunction (the main group); 31 with normal body weight and regular menstrual cycle (the control group). Research methods: general clinical, biochemical (indicators of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were determined), instrumental (ultrasound), statistical. Results. It was found that 53.3% of the girls from the main group had the beginning of the first menstruation after 14 years, delayed menstruation from 42 days to 6 days, duration 2.1 ± 0.05 days, which was significantly shorter, the volume of 10.2 ± 0.05; 0.4 points (average 1-2 pads per day) was significantly lower (p <0.05). Ultrasound showed uterine hypoplasia in almost every second girl in the main group - 36 (45.46%). Hyperleptinemia and leptin resistance was found in obesity of the first degree 34.8 ± 1.75, in obesity of the second degree 37.15 ± 2.12, in obesity of the third degree 40.64 ± 2.0. It was 14.35 ng / ml in the control group, p<0,01. Hyperleptinemia in the main group was accompanied by hyperinsulinemia in 26% of cases and insulin resistance. The relationship between low values of adiponectin and elevated body mass index in patients of the main group was established, which was confirmed by the results of correlation analysis (adiponectin & body mass index: ρ = -0.74). Analysis of the results revealed a decrease of A/L level in the main group by 4.3 times. Based on our own results, the A/L and HOMA-AD models can be considered more accurate for determining insulin resistance. Conclusions. 1. Changes of the menstrual cycle in overweight girls were found. The association of adipokines secretion disorders is characterized by hyperleptinemia, leptin resistance, decreased Adiponectin / Leptin index and hypoadiponectinemia, which, in combination with insulin resistance, indicates the participation of adipokines in the genesis of oligomenorrhea. The algorithm of adolescents’ treatment with menstrual dysfunction on the background of obesity must include the calculation of Adiponectin/Leptin and HOMA-AD, which will make it possible to avoid overdiagnosis of insulin resistance.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed special sports complex in the prevention of hypodynamia and obesity among firefighters-rescuers.Materials and methods. A survey of 490 men with no history of chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases aged 20-59 was conducted. 328 people were the main group, 162 people were the control group. The baseline data included anthropometric development indicators, bioimpedance test results, the extraction of biochemical blood test results; the body mass index (BMI) and the ratio of waist and hip circumference were determined. A questionnaire was conducted to identify hypodynamia (according to the IPAQ questionnaire) and the nutrition structure (according to the questionnaire on the food label literacy questionnaire, past). Both questionnaires were adapted to the Russian Federation. Statistica for Windows 8.0 was used for statistical processing. We used a comparison of the means of the Student method. To compare the values expressed in percent, the method of inverse trigonometric Fisher transformations was used.Results. We have developed and proposed for firefighters-rescuers, included in the main group, special sports complexes, which were used for 6 months. These complexes represent additional physical training by the developed method. There are two of them: one with an emphasis on the prevention and rehabilitation of people with osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, and the other for cervical and thoracic localization, including with a syndrome of shoulder-scapular periarthritis.Classes were held 3 times a week, the duration of 1 session was 45-50 minutes. The choice of the complex was carried out at the request of firefighters-rescuers. The first complex was selected by 52 people. Based on the results of the study, against the background of the use of sports complexes, there was a 2-fold decrease in the incidence of obesity. Such a high efficiency is due to the fact that obesity of the I degree prevailed among the firefighters-rescuers. In addition, the frequency of occurrence of dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypodynamia decreased.Conclusion. The use of this sports complex can reduce the risk factors for development of disability among rescue firefighters by preventing hypodynamia and reducing the incidence of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, as factors in the development of obesity.

Purpose. Study of the influence of psychotherapeutic assistance on the rehabilitation of persons who have undergone limb amputation.Materials and methods. A study of the psychological characteristics of 48 patients who underwent amputation of the lower extremity was carried out on the basis of the departments of vascular surgery and traumatology of the Samara Seredavin Regional Clinical Hospital. The control group included 25 people (16 men, 9 women), aged 45 to 70 years. Amputations of the extremities were performed by him in connection with the developed gangrene due to obliterating vascular diseases. The main group consisted of 23 people (14 men, 9 women) aged 35 to 60 years with a stable and prosperous social status, who received an acute sudden injury that ended in amputation of one or both lower extremities. The examination was carried out on the 3-5th day of the postoperative period, depending on the patient's condition. For the study, the following psychodiagnostic methods and techniques were used: 1) clinical conversation; 2) coping test by R. Lazarus, S. Folkman; 3) methodology for diagnosing the type of attitude to the disease; 4) Hamilton Depression Scale; 5) S. Rosenzweig's test of drawing frustration.Results. The difference between the group of patients and the control group was statistically confirmed in terms of “seeking social support” (higher in the control group), “confrontation” and “flight – avoidance” (higher in the group of patients) (p < 0.05). In the control group, depression is absent in 85% of the subjects, in 15% of patients there is a mild depressive state (p < 0.05). According to S. Rosenzweig's method, the predominance of extrapunitive reactions was revealed in both groups (E = 59.6 in the main group of patients and 44.1 in the control group) due to reactions of the ego-protective type (ED = 56.2 in the main group of patients and 46.3 – in the control group).Conclusion. Patients who underwent surgery for limb amputation and who took a conscious and active part in individual and group psychotherapy by the time of discharge from the hospital showed a decrease in anxiety and depressive manifestations, a decrease in the manifestations of outward aggression, the construction of optimistic prospects) than in patients who categorically refuse to receive psychological help and support. The provision of psychotherapeutic assistance to persons after amputation of limbs should begin in the first days after the operation.

Protection of reproductive health of adolescents and youth, i.e., individuals aged 15 to 24 years, is a primary goal of a family planning service as according to WHO estimations (1995), the youth aged 15 to 24 years makes over 14% of the overall population in developed countries.Disorders of a menstrual cycle take a leading place among gynaecologic pathologies of adolescent girls. At the same time, according to WHO data, about 30% of schoolchildren suffer from iron deficiency anemia, which takes one of the first places in the structure of somatic pathologies. On the basis of maternity welfare centre No. 2, 2,456 girls aged 15 to 18 years were examined, and the frequency of occurrence and structure of disorders of a menstrual cycle was studied. In addition to standard methods of examination, all patients undertook USI of small pelvis organs; indicators of a hormonal status, complete blood test, transport fund, and iron stocks were investigated. The study included 285 girls, with various disorders of a menstrual cycle, who had no history of iron deficiency states and exacerbation of chronic diseases. The control group included 69 adolescent girls with a regular menstrual cycle. The most common type of disorder of a menstrual cycle in subjects examined was dysmenorrhea I. Iron deficiency anaemia was found in 5.3% of the subjects examined. The frequency of occurrence of moderate anaemia and latent deficiency of iron of 46.7% and 11.9%, respectively, attracts our attention. Well-timed diagnostics of the states mentioned in adolescent girls can prevent subsequent development of reproductive and somatic pathologies.

To determine the level of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes in pregnant women with the threat of termination of pregnancy at 5-12 weeks and recurrent miscarriage in history and compare the data obtained with the end of gestation. A survey of 65 women at a gestational age of 5-12 weeks was carried out. The main group consisted of 33 women with a threatening recurrent miscarriage at the time of the examination, the comparison group consisted of 10 pre-pregnant women with a threatening sporadic miscarriage at the time of the examination, the control group consisted of 22 pregnant women without signs of a threatening miscarriage. The main group, depending on the outcomes of pregnancy, is divided into 2 subgroups: subgroup A - pregnancy ended in undeveloped pregnancy or miscarriage (9 women), subgroup B - pregnancy ended in childbirth (24 women). The relative content of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry on FACSCanto II (Becton Dickinson, USA). Women in the main group had a significantly lower level of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes in comparison with the rest of the surveyed. A retrospective analysis revealed that among women of subgroup A there was a sharp decrease in CD20 + IL-10 + cells compared with subgroup B. Prediction of a non-developing pregnancy and spontaneous miscarriage up to 22 weeks of gestation in pregnant women with threatened spontaneous miscarriage and a history of recurrent miscarriage is possible with the relative content of CD20 + IL-10 + equal to or less than 4.5% (sensitivity 100%, specificity 82.6%, accuracy 87.9%).
