 The study of the influence of the autonomic nervous system on the course of pregnancy, childbirth and fetal state remains relevant. Changes in the parameters of electroencephalography may be detected long before the onset of clinical symptoms in the complicated course of pregnancy.  The objective of the research was to evaluate electroencephalography in women with placental dysfunction and gestational complications taking into account the type of psychological component of gestation dominant.  Materials and methods. Electroencephalography was performed in 60 pregnant women at the age of 19 to 45 years with gestational hypertension and fetal distress during pregnancy. The main group included 40 patients, who were stratified according to the type of psychological component of gestation dominant: 10 patients with euphoric type, 20 pregnant women with anxious and depressive type, 10 patients with hypogestognostic type. The comparison group comprised 20 patients with optimal type of psychological component of gestation dominant and normal course of the first half of pregnancy. The assessment of psychological component of gestation dominant was carried out according to the method proposed by Dobriakov I.V. - "Pregnant woman attitude test". Registrations, spectral and coherent analysis of electroencephalography were performed using BrainTest-24 hardware and software complex.  \textbf{Results and discussion. }Electroencephalography of the patients of the comparison group was in line with current concepts regarding the physiological norm. In the main group, there were the following changes in electroencephalography: non-sinusoidal forms of alpha-oscillations (77.5%), high index of fast rhythms, flashes of spike waves under load, disturbances of the frontal occipital gradient with the focus on the anterior sections of the hemispheres.  Conclusions. The use of electroencephalography in women with different types of psychological component of gestation dominant in case of progressive placental dysfunction and preeclampsia on its background allows identifying characteristic changes, modifying the program of therapeutic measures, differentiating obstetric tactics and terms of delivery.

Due to the morbidity of mothers and newborns caused by fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preeclampsia, preventive measures should be taken, especially in women at high risk of developing these conditions. Many studies have been conducted on the prevention of FGR and preeclampsia in high-risk women, especially anticoagulants, aspirin, paravastatin, nitric oxide, microelements (L-arginine, folic acid, vitamins E and C, phytonutrients, vitamin D) and calcium. The aim is to improve perinatal consequences by preventing FGR in high-risk women. Materials and methods: A prospective study of 137 pregnant women in the period of 110–136 weeks was conducted at the Perinatal Center in Kyiv. Pregnant women were divided into 3 groups. The main group included 47 women at high risk of FGR who received therapy (low doses of aspirin, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and vitamin and micro elements drugs). The comparison group included 45 women who had a high risk of FGR but did not receive treatment. The control group consisted of 45 women who were not at risk of FGR. The frequency of FGR and placental dysfunction were analyzed as well as a fetal distress was analyzed ante- and intranatally. Results: Therapy with low doses of aspirin, LMWH and a complex preparation of vitamins and micro elements improves the course of pregnancy and gestational complications. In the main group FGR was detected in 8.5 %, in the comparison group – in 17.8 %, in the control group – 4.4 %. Placental dysfunction was detected in 13.3 % in the control group, and only 6.4 % in the main group that was close to the control group – 2.2 %. Similar tendencies were found for fetal distress ante- and intranatally. Conclusions: The proposed prophylactic measures can improve maternal outcomes by reducing the level of gestational complications in pregnant women with biochemical signs of risk of FGR development. In addition, these preventive measures can reduce the frequency of children births with growth restriction, which significantly reduces early neonatal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of the use of L-arginine in the treatment of placental insufficiency (PI) in pregnant women. Materials and methods. We examined 49 pregnant women with PI at 22-34 weeks of gestation. The women were divided into two groups. The 1st group included 27 patients who, as part of the standard complex treatment, were injected intravenously with L-arginine (Tivortin®, “Yuria-Pharm”, Ukraine) 4.2 % solution for infusion at a dose of 100 ml a day for 5 days. The 2nd group included 22 women in which standard basic therapy was used for PI treatment. To study the state of the fetoplacental complex in the blood serum of pregnant women, the level of human placental lactogen (hPL) and free estriol (E3) was determined by direct competitive enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Results and discussion. All patients included in the study were comparable in somatic and obstetric status. The age of pregnant women in both groups ranged from 22 to 39 years, averaging 26±3.2 years in the 1st and 31±2.4 years in the 2nd group. The level of hPL before therapy was reduced in 10 (37.03 %) patients in the 1st group and in 8 (29.62 %) patients in the 2nd group. The concentration of free E3 was reduced in 12 (44.44 %) patients of the 1st group and in 9 (40.9 %) patients of the 2nd group. In the main group, the average concentration of free E3 was 18.8±13.3 ng/ml, and the hPL was 7.1±2.6 mg/L. In the comparison group, the level of free E3 averaged 19.1±10.2 ng/ml and hPL was 6.9±3.9 mg/L. After adjustment of PI in all patients of the 1st group, and in 19 (86.36 %) of the 2nd group, the concentration of hPL and free E3 corresponded to the norm. Thus, in the main group, the average concentration of free E3 was 22.7±14.1 ng/ml, and the hPL was 8.1±2.9 mg/L. In the comparison group, the level of free E3 averaged 22.1±14.6 ng/ml and hPL – 8.3±3.9 mg/L. Only in 3 (13.63 %) patients of the comparison group, the level of hormones was still reduced. Conclusions. The inclusion of L-arginine (Tivortin) in therapeutic regimens in order to correct placental dysfunction leads to a regression of fetoplacental circulatory disorders and reduces the risk of unfavorable perinatal outcomes.

According to recent studies, in the vitamin D deficiency state (VDD), pregnancy can be complicated and the optimal level of VD in the blood is one of the conditions for the realization of reproductive potential. The objective: the possibility to preventing calcitriol-associated pregnancy complications by the correcting VD deficiency at the preconception period. Materials and methods. 57 women with VDD were examined. A history of all women had a pregnancy complicated by placental dysfunction (PD); 27 of them were observed from the preconception period (main group – IA) and 30 – from the 1st trimester of pregnancy (comparison group – IB). The VD status by the blood level of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D by ELISA was determined. Women of both groups, in addition to the vitamin-mineral complex (VMC) were prescribed supplementation colecalciferol at a dose of 4.000 IU per day. Pregnant women of both groups received VMCs up to 16 weeks. After optimizing the level (3–4 months), women continued to take VD at a dose of 2.000 IU per day throughout pregnancy. Results. At the initial study, the VD level was 15.72±2.59 ng/ml in ІА and 16.1±1.99 ng/ml in ІВ group (U=883; p>0.05); after treatment increased to 38.31±3.29 ng/ml and 36.13±2.99 ng/ml (U=900; p>0.05). In group IA, the course of pregnancy was characterized by a lower frequency of complications: PD was diagnosed in 22.2% in group IA and 50% in group IB (F=0.0001; p<0.01); fetal distress in 3.7% and 10% (F=0.16; p<0.05): signs of amnionitis – in 18.5% and 33.3% (F=0.035; p<0.05); placental hypertrophy or hypotrophy – in 7.4% and 36.7% (F=0.00001; p<0.01), preeclampsia in 3.7% and 6.7% of women (F=0,54; p<0.05). The frequency of cesarean section in the comparison group was significantly higher (40% VS 25.9%, F=0.034; p<0.05). Conclusions. During pregnancy, which occurred in conditions of VDD, the frequency of some pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia, the threat of miscarriage, placental dysfunction was in 2–4 times higher than in women with optimized VD status. One of the directions of the individual management plan for women with a negative obstetric history can be the determination of the level of VD in the blood and correction of the VDD at the preconception period. This approach is a pathogenetically substantiated and promising direction for the prevention of some pregnancy complications and improvement of perinatal outcomes. Keywords: pregnancy, deficiency vitamin D, placental dysfunction, preconception period.

The purpose and objectives of the study is to identify the hormonal, biochemical and ultrasound features of the gestation course in women with beneficial tumours of the uterus. Results. We conducted a complete clinical examination and prospective observation of 182 pregnant women. Of which, 98 puerperas with a verified diagnosis of uterine fibroids and/or endometriosis, which developed before gestation, but did not prevent the onset of pregnancy, were included into the main group. The comparison group included 84 women with physiological pregnancy. The studies showed that 14 pregnant women in the main group had C677T (Ala222Val) T/T mutation, while only 2 women in the comparison group had a decrease in enzyme activity due to genetic mutation. Accordingly, the homocysteine level was almost 3 times lower in the comparison group than in the main group. The women with hyperhomocisteinemia (HHC) and uterine fibroid in the main group showed the lowest estriol level and hCG level, while women without HHC had higher estriol level and hCG levels. It was found that almost all patients with HHC had subclinical hypothyroidism. Ultrasound imaging and biochemical tests at the beginning of the 2nd trimester: no ultrasound markers of fetal anomalies were identified in women from both groups; however, signs of retrochorial hematoma were detected in 57 women from the main group, which was confirmed by clinical manifestations and previous ultrasound imaging in earlier gestation periods. Conclusion. Thus, placenta formation in women with HHC and uterine fibroids is accompanied by relative hormonal insufficiency, which is clinically manifested as a threat of miscarriage in the early stages, but carrying a child is possible due to appropriate management of a patient as part of the preserving therapy. However, the issue of preventing the development of fetoplacental insufficiency is a valid one for further investigation.

80 pregnant women were examined after assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs: 40 women with manifestations of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnant women (IHP) - the main group and 40 women without manifestations of IHP (comparison group).In the majority (62.5%) of patients after ART, the diagnosis of IHP established after 30 weeks of pregnancy. Some patients (27.5%) reported short-term episodes of IHP up to 24 weeks of gestation. In 17.5% of women, IHP had a severe course. Almost a third (27.5%) of women are over 35 years old. Women with IHP have a significantly higher frequency of allergies in the anamnesis (35.0%), liver pathology (20.0%) and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (25.0%). In one third of women, IHP developed repeatedly, 42.5% of the main patients indicated a family history burdened with IHP. Almost a third of women (27.5% vs. 12.5%, p<0.05) had a history of polycystic ovary syndrome.The current pregnancy characterized by a high frequency of complications. A quarter of patients (25.0%) had early preeclampsia. In the second half of pregnancy, the threat of preterm birth noted in most women during the manifestation of IHP (60.0%). The incidence of fetal distress in women with IHP was almost 2 times higher than in patients without this complication (47.5% vs. 25.0%, respectively, p <0.05). The frequency of preeclampsia is also higher (40.0%).The vast majority of women in the main group were born by cesarean section (70.0%). Almost half of patients with IHP were premature (45.0%). A third of women (35.0%) had fetal distress in childbirth. In 27.5%, childbirth complicated by bleeding of more than 5% of body weight. The postpartum period was characterized by a 4-fold increase in the frequency of late bleeding (20.0% vs. 5.0%, p <0.05).One case of antenatal mortality noted in pregnant women after ART with IHP. Almost half of the children were born with asphyxia of varying severity (48.7%), with 10.3% diagnosed with severe asphyxia. One third of children were born with a body weight below 2500 g (30.8%). In 74.4% of newborns from mothers of the main group, various disorders of the period of early neonatal adaptation were noted, among which the most prominent were: RDS (35.9%), jaundice (43.6%) and gastrointestinal syndrome (30.8%). The 2-fold increased incidence of hemorrhagic syndrome (17.9%) is noteworthy.

Aim. To determine the individual risk of caries debut and specific features of the primary caries in patients infected with herpes simplex virus. Methods. 51 patients with primary caries (112 teeth), ICD-10 diagnosis K02.0 (Caries limited to enamel) aged 18 to 49 (female - 42) were examined, all patients were divided into two groups: patients infected with herpes simplex virus and with clinical symptoms of herpes simplex infection (main group, 33 patients), patients infected with herpes simplex virus and without any clinical symptoms of herpes simplex infection (comparison group, 18 patients). Clinical, biochemical, immunological, laser (laser fluorescence spectroscopy) diagnostic techniques were applied. Results. High titers of blood immunoglobulin G to herpes simplex virus were found in 98% of patients examined with initial caries (K02.0). The medium risk was defined in 45% of patients of the main group and in 44% of the comparison group. The navy blue indicator color was the sign of the high risk in 49% in the control group and in 50% of the comparison group. Among the patients with high risk of caries debut the mean local enamel demineralization value according to DIAGNOdent pen was 11.5±1.6 (main group) versus 7.2±1.2 (comparison group). Conclusions. The risk of further caries progression in patients with clinical manifestations of herpes simplex infection is higher compared to patients with persistent infection without signs of active virus reproduction. Biochemical rapid test Clinpro Cario L-Pop (3M ESPE) helps to obtain objective data on oral microflora activity. The use of KaVo «DIAGNOdent pen» device is necessary for the further monitoring of caries progression.

Inflammation is among the factors promoting development of premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM). Upon the conditions of physiological immune imbalance in pregnancy, inflammation modifies its course and can even change the immune response. Appropriate indexes may be quantitative and functional. We used a marker of mitochondrial membrane potential (MPM, Ay) as an integral index of the functional state of immunocompetent blood cells (IBC) in 159 women who were examined at 8-14 weeks of gestation; they were observed up to 34-36 weeks. Of these cohort, 121 women were referred to a comparison group. The main group (n = 46) consisted of pregnant women with PPROM at the term of 28-33 weeks. The examination was carried out according to current medical standards, with informed consent, being approved by the Ethics committee at the Khabarovsk branch of Far Eastern Scientific Centre of Physiology and Pathology of Respiration — Research Institute of Maternity and Childhood Protection. Additionally, MPM and lymphocyte populations were determined by flow cytometry. The degree of disturbed energy supply in the IBC was based on the data of simultaneous determination of lymphocyte, granulocyte and monocyte numbers with reduced MPM values (application for invention No. 2020115963), thus revealing 3 degrees of energy deficiency: 1st degree, monovariant IBC composition with reduced MPM; 2nd degree, bivariant composition, 3rd degree, total changes. A relative and absolute decrease in CD3 (72% vs 78% and 1624 vs 1980), CD8 (28% vs 33% and 651 vs 851), an increase in CD19 (14% vs 9% and 304 vs 219) were revealed in pregnant women with PPROM. When assessing MPM values in the IBC populations, a decreased proportion of women without energy deficiency from the 1st to the 2nd trimester (from 41% to 30%), due to the 3rd degree of energy deficiency (from 17% to 26%) was detected. A shift of affected pools at the 2nd degree of energy deficiency in favor of lymphocytic-granulocytic association (from 7% to 25%) from lymphocytic-monocytic compartment (from 73% to 50%) was found. From the 2nd to 3rd trimester, we have detected redistribution of granulocyte pools at the 1st degree (0 to 8%) and from the lymphocytic-granulocytic association (25% and 5%) to monocytic-granulocytic (25% and 40%). In the group with PPROM, there was a decreased proportion of pregnant women without energy deficiency (13% and 27%), as well as with the 1st and 2nd degrees (17% vs 31% and 9% vs 17%), due to the 3rd degree of energy deficiency (61% and 26 %), relative to the comparison group. The IBC pools of in the main group were redistributed at the 1st degree in favor of granulocytes (25% and 8%), at the 2nd, in favor of the lymphocytic-monocytic association (100% and 55%) from the granulocytic-monocytic (0% and 40%). Such imbalance of bioenergetic processes in the IBC can be an important factor of pathologically ongoing inflammation. These changes could be caused by both higher incidence of infections in such patients and by alloimmune interactions between mother and fetus. However, they may also determine the pathological course of inflammation. Preterm birth, which is usually caused by PPROM, is a multifactorial pathological condition. However, independent on specific triggers, the changes in energy supply of IBC, at least, may serve as a significant biomarker of probability for this disorder.

Aim. To study clinical manifestations of urinary tract infections in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM).Materials and methods. Pregnant women with urinary tract infections (UTIs) were examined: 110 with type 1 diabetes mellitus (main group) and 133 without diabetes mellitus (comparison group). The diagnosis of UTI was based on the clinical picture (for manifestation forms) and confirmed by a dual culture method using both the classical approach and DipStreak tests. The determination of the sensitivity of the isolated microorganisms to antibacterial drugs was carried out by the disk diffusion test on Mueller-Hinton agar using paper disks. Instrumental research included ultrasound of the kidneys, urinary tract and fetoplacental complex.Results. In the main group, UTIs were pyelonephritis, asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) and low AB (102–104 CFU/ml) was detected in 38, 69 and 31 patients, respectively. In the comparison group, pyelonephritis, AB and low AB was detected in 41, 63 and 29 patients, respectively. In the main group, the classic course of pyelonephritis was observed in 44.7%, low-symptomatic — in 26.3%, “according to the type of carbohydrate metabolism decompensation” — in 21%, and the obstetric variant — in 7.9% of patients. In the comparison group, the classic version of pyelonephritis was in 70.7%, low-symptomatic — in 24.4%, asymptomatic — in 4.9%. Bilateral pyelonephritis in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus prevailed over unilateral: 65.8 vs 34.2%. During AB, in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia was observed in 23.1% (n = 16), the threat of pregnancy termination in 53.6% (n = 37), and moderate preeclampsia in 17.4% (n = 12). In patients with low AB, glycemia above the target values was recorded in 16.1% (n = 5), the threat of pregnancy termination in 38.7% (n = 12), and moderate preeclampsia in 12.9% (n = 4).Conclusion. Based on the specifics of the clinical manifestations of UTIs in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the following types of pyelonephritis can be distinguished: classic, low-symptom, “decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism” and obstetric. The classical course of pyelonephritis in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus is statistically significantly less common (p <0.05) as compared with pregnant women without diabetes mellitus. The features of AB in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus are the development of hyperglycemia and obstetric complications.
