Purpose. To analyze stages of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and it’s unfavorable active forms, and the correlation between severity of ROP and gestanational age and birth weight of children in Republican Children's Clinical hospital (RCCH). Material and methods. We have examined 4036 children including 759 children with ROP, 596 children had I and II stages, 105 children with III stage, 58 children with Aggressive Posterior ROP (APROP) and 42 children with Plus disease. Results. The structure of ROP for 3 years is: I and II stages – 78,5%, III stage – 13,83%, APROP – 7,64%. There is direct relation between retinal lasercoagulation (RLC) and gestanational age and birth weight: the less are the indexes, the more is probability of unfavorable prognosis and operation necessity. Conclusions. Screening of premature children in catamnesis cabinet in RCCH, regular ophthalmic monitoring with up-to-date diagnostic methods and opportune prophylactic RLC in active phase of ROP allow to decrease disability of ROP. Key words: retinopathy of prematurity, premature children, lasercoagulation of retina.

Clinical Observations

To the Editor.— The letter to the editor by Johnson et al1 and studies by others regarding vitamin E prophylaxis for retinopathy of prematurity suggest that further research into the prevention of retinopathy of prematurity should not be limited to vitamin E. On the basis of clinical observations we reported that d-penicillamine treatment in the neonatal period was associated with a marked decrease in the incidence of severe retrolental fibroplasia among the very low birth weight infants.2

This study provides the first empiric evidence for the existence of a new epidemic of retinopathy of prematurity-induced blindness. Data from a population-based register of handicapping conditions in the Canadian province of British Columbia, and a birth weight-specific census of live-born infants in British Columbia, were used to determine annual, population-level incidences of retinopathy of prematurity-induced blindness during 1952 to 1983. Changes in incidence since the end of the original epidemic (1954) were determined by subdividing the 29-year period (1955 to 1983) into two intervals (1955 to 1964 and 1965 to 1983). Standardized incidence ratio analyses revealed a marginally significant increase in the overall incidence of retinopathy of prematurity-induced blindness in the later as compared with the earlier period. Infants weighing 750 to 999 g at birth had a significantly increased standardized incidence ratio of 3.07 (95% confidence interval 1.26, 11.06). No increases in risk were observed in heavier or lighter weight infants. Because ascertainment and diagnostic changes do not explain the weight-specific increases in incidence, these results provide the first population-level evidence for a new epidemic.

Prevention And Treatment

The number of infants blinded from retinopathy of prematurity in the United States in 1979 is estimated to be 546, based on birth-weight-specific published survival statistics and ROP incidence data. Approximately 2,100 infants will be affected by cicatricial disease annually. A simple formula is presented that permits estimation of incidence data based on other regional data. It is suggested that increased attention be focused on this old enemy in order to document its incidence worldwide and to learn more about its prevention and treatment.

The objective: to study the contractile activity of the uterus in pregnant with mild preeclampsia at labor. Patients and methods. Was studies contractile activity of the uterus during the labor in 93 pregnant with mild preeclampsia. The average age of women was 25.24±0.42 (17–37 years). The duration of the clinical manifestation of mild preeclampsia was 3.2±0.1 (1 week). The contractile activity of the uterus was evaluated by the method of external cardiotocography. Results.There was confirmed, that pregnant with mild preeclampsia had high indicators of uterine contractile activity at the latent phase, including intense of the cramps 43.78±2.32 mm Hg , duration of the cramps – 28.32±1.1 s, dutation of relaxation – 43.44±1.46 s, total duration of the cramps – 71.76±1.27 s, duration of the uterine cycle – 66.55±0.28 s. And this leads to significant decreasing of the duration of the latent phase 1.24±0.11 hour, and decreasing of the total labor time (9.18±0.22 hours) appropriately. Conclusion. In parturient women with mild preeclampsia, high rates of contractile activity of the uterus in the latent phase, what significantly reduce the duration of the latent phase, and the total duration of labor as well. Key words: mild preeclampsia, contractile activity of the uterus, latent phase of the labor, active phase of the labor, intranatal cardiotocography.

Proliferative Disease

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an abnormal vascular proliferative disease of retina that affects preterm infants. It is a leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide despite improvement in neonatal care and management. Earlier ROP was found to be associated with oxygen therapy only. Now it was concluded that aetiology of ROP was multifactorial but three factors have shown significant association with ROP: low gestational age (GA), low birth weight (BW), prolonged exposure to supplementary oxygen following delivery. Several investigators reported that lower oxygen saturation targets at young post-gestational ages with increased oxygen saturation targets at older post gestational ages reduced the incidence of ROP. However previous clinical studies are not conclusive.
