The only effective method of treating pregnant women with developed preeclampsia is timely delivery, so it is an urgent task to establish predictors of preeclampsia in order to predict its development.The aim of the work is to evaluate the platelet link of the hemostasis system in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy in patients with preeclampsia that developed after 34 weeks of pregnancy, to establish informative markers for predicting the development of preeclampsia after 34 weeks of pregnancy A survey of 210 apparently healthy women of active reproductive age (18-34 years) was carried out. Patients with multiple pregnancies, autoimmune pathology, arterial hypertension, heart defects, varicose veins, diabetes mellitus, hereditary thrombophilia were excluded from the study. All patients received voluntary informed consent to use the survey data for scientific purposes. In 20 patients, the course of pregnancy was complicated by the development of moderate preeclampsia after 34 weeks of pregnancy, these patients constituted the main group. 190 women with physiological pregnancy made up the comparison group. The study of the state of the platelet link of the hemostasis system was carried out using a VS-3000 + hematological analyzer, the number of platelets, their average volume, the root-mean-square value of the spread of platelet sizes, and the percentage of megalothrombocytes were determined. At the preclinical stage of development of preeclampsia (at 20-22 weeks), a decrease in the number of platelets and an increase in functional activity in the form of an increase in the rate of platelet anisocytosis, the average volume of platelets and the number of megalothrombocytes were found in pregnant women of the main group. Determination of indicators of the state of the platelet hemostasis at 20-22 weeks of gestation can be used to predict the development of moderate preeclampsia after 34 weeks of gestation.

Hemomicrocirculatory system – is a complex structure that reacts in every pathological process even before the clinical period and takes the first blow. The study of microhemocirculation will provide an opportunity to solve the important for practical medicine questions of pathogenesis of many diseases, as for the prevention and treatment of regional disorders of blood circulation.The objective of the research is to study the state of the hemomicrocirculatory bed (HMCB) of adventitia of varicose veins of the small pelvis (VVSP) in women with chronic inflammatory processes of the organs of the small pelvis (CIPOSP).Materials and methods of research. To evaluate the restructuring of the HMCB of adventitia of VVSP, the operating material of 12 women of reproductive age was used. Mainly, there were pieces of the ovarian vein. The study of the HMCB in the vein wall was performed by the non-injecting method of silver impregnation according to V.V. Kupriyanov. To standardize the results, the condition of the HMCB of adventitia of the venous wall in norm was studied in 5 women of reproductive age, who died as a result of various traumas.Results of the research. After the performed studies, the structural-morphological changes of the HMCB of the adventitia of the small pelvis veins were revealed. The dilation of capillaries, postcapillaries, postcapillary venules was observed. The diameter of the vessels of the HMCB of the ovarian vein adventitia was: venule – 94.21 ± 1.38 μM in comparison with the norm – 48.78 ± 1.60 μM (p<0.001); post-capillary venules – 46.76 ± 1.04 μM in comparison with the norm – 28.29 ± 1.1.01 μM (p<0.001); the capillaries were 11.22 ± 0.14 μM in comparison with the norm – 8.24 ± 0.16 μM (p<0.05), arterioles – 29.02 ± 0.76 μM in comparison with the norm – 25.19 ± 1.15 μM (p<0.01). The architectonics of the arterioles is almost unchanged. Lumen of venules is filled with formed elements. The structure of capillaries is polymorphic. The capillary net was localized and concentrated or was formed as a thick planar net, the capillaries were expanded. There were arterio-venulous anastomoses. Endothelial nuclei are shortened. In some preparations, the diameter of the arterioles corresponded to the diameter of the collection venules.  Conclusions:1. The first discovered by us changes in HMCB of adventitia of varicose veins of the small pelvis in women with CIPOSP can be one of the pathogenetic links of the development and progression of the varicose vein itself, which in turn aggravates the course of chronic inflammation.      2. The timely appointment of drugs that improve microcirculation will enable to prevent the development of dystrophic changes in the vein wall, improve the course of chronic inflammatory processes and reduce or completely eliminate the syndrome of “chronic pelvic pain”.

According to modern data, the cardiovascular system is a kind of indicator of the organism's adaptive activity, and the structure of the heart rhythm carries information about the development of adaptive reactions in response to irritating factors of the external and internal environment.The aim of the study – to investigate the functional state of the autonomic nervous system in pregnant women who have harmful habits by evaluating and analyzing the parameters of heart rate variability in order to prevent complications of non-delivery of gestational process.Materials and Methods. The study involved 73 pregnant women, 53 of them were pregnant (the main group) who had malignant habits in history. Before studying adaptive reactions in pregnant women, a study of cardiac rhythm variability was performed in practically healthy non-pregnant women of reproductive age (25.3±2.2) years). The control group consisted of 20 pregnant women without any harmful habits. Determination of heart rate variability was performed on the basis of peripheral heart rate recording, which included measuring the sequence of RR intervals for 5 minutes, followed by mathematical analysis using the PlsMntr software product.Results and Discussion. It was established that in the main group, in the complicated failure to pass the gestational process, violations of cardiac rhythm variability were detected in 59.7 % of cases. There is an increase in the frequency of very low frequency (VL F) waves (43.5 % relative to control, p<0.05), indicating a predominance of humoral and metabolic rate of regulation of the cardiac rhythm. At the threat of premature births, a decrease in the particle (LF) is observed at 36.6 %, a decrease in the share of high-frequency waves (НF) by 30.8 %. Taking into account the results of the study, one can speak of a decrease in the tone of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, reducing the influence of the reflexive vegetative level of regulation, which, in turn, indicates the depletion of regulatory mechanisms and the lack of an adaptive protective effect of n.vagus on the heart.Conclusions. Our innovative low-invasive method of evaluating the adaptive reactions of the organism through the determination and analysis of indicators of cardiac rhythm variability in pregnant women with the existing harmful habits offers us the opportunity to observe manifestations of functional stress of regulatory systems of pregnant women, preceding the development of complication of non-delivery of gestational process.


Congenital heart defects are a heterogeneous group of diseases that occur as isolation or a part of multiple birth defects, gene disorders or chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities and its underlying syndromes are the cause of 6 to 36% of cases of congenital heart defects. Monogenic etiology is proven in about 8% of cases, and the main group - about 90% of the congenital heart defects is the result of an unfavorable combination of genetic predisposition and external factors. The causes of early neonatal infant mortality are dominated by incompatible birth defects: almost 26% of perinatal and neonatal deaths are associated with congenital child pathology. Heart defects compose about 30% of all birth defects. They rank first place among the diseases that lead to perinatal mortality and early disability. World statistics show that the incidence of birth defects in the world is 9 per 1000 newborns, in Europe - 8/1000, which is 4 times more frequent than neural tube defects and 6 times higher than chromosomal abnormalities. In Ukraine, about 5,000 children with congenital heart defects are born each year, and the total number of those children on dispensary records reaches more than 45,000. Knowledge about the prevalence of birth defects in the region is needed to develop new information markers of the risk of congenital pathology of the circulatory system for women of reproductive age. Data on the incidence of congenital heart defects of fetuses and newborns in the region will allow the creation of a database for follow-up studies, which will facilitate the timely identification of pregnant women at risk. This will improve the prognosis of pregnancy, reduce the level of perinatal pathology, which will have a significant medical and social effect. The data obtained will allow to create preconditions for improvement of approaches to the definition of risk groups of perinatal pathology, perfection of specialized care for pregnant women with risk of congenital heart defects of the fetus.

Violation of hemomicrocirculatory processes is in the basis of the development of diseases of various organs and systems. The study of hemomicrocirculation at all levels allows us to understand the complexity and universality of these processes, as well as opens up new perspectives in the pathogenetic approach to the treatment and prevention of the diseases. The homogeneity of the reaction of all parts of the hemomicrocirculatory bed in various diseases has been proved on the basis of clinico-morphological comparisons. Study of some areas allows us to judge the state of hemomicrocirculation as an integral system. The objective: to study and compare the changes of the hemomicrocirculatory bed (HMCB) of the conjunctiva of the eyeball and adventitia of varicose veins of the small pelvis (VVSP) in women with chronic inflammatory processes of the internal genital organs (CIPIGO). Materials and methods. There were examined 54 women with chronic inflammatory processes of internal genital organs against the background of varicose veins of the small pelvis (group I); 30 – practically healthy women (control group). The age of women was between 18 and 45 years old. Bulbar microscopy was performed using the SHL-2B slit lamp. The results of microscopy were evaluated according to the system of V.S.Volkov et al. To evaluate the restructuring of the HMCB of adventitia of VVSP, the operating material of 12 women of reproductive age was used. Mainly, these were pieces of the ovarian vein. The study of HMCB in the vein wall was performed by the non-injecting method of silver impregnation according to V.V. Kupriyanov. To standardize the results, the state of the HMCB of venous wall adventitia was studied in norm in 5 women of reproductive age, who died as a result of various injuries. Results. Clinical-morphological parallels between changes in the HMCB of the conjunctiva of the eyeball and adventitia of the varicose veins of the small pelvis were revealed after the performed research. The arteriols’ architectonics was almost unchanged. Venules were dilated, twisted, somewhere varicose-enlarged, filled with formed elements. The structure of capillaries was polymorphic. The capillary net was localized and concentrated or shaped in the form of a thick planar net, the capillaries were expanded. In the micropreparations of the adventitia, there were arterio-venular anastomosis. The nuclei of the endothelial cells were shortened. In some preparations, the diameter of the arterioles corresponded to the diameter of the collection venules. Conclusions. 1. Our studies confirm both clinically and pathomorphologically that one of the links of the pathogenesis of CIPIGO, which occur against the background of VVSP, is a violation of HMCB. 2. Firstly, changes in the HMCB of the conjunctiva of the eyeball and adventitia of the varicose veins of the small pelvis in women with CIPIGO show that they are systemic. 3. The results obtained by us prove the necessity of the use of medicines that improve hemomicrocirculation in the treatment of CIPIGO against the background of VVSP. Key words: hemomicrocirculatory bed, bulbar conjunctiva, adventitia, varicose veins of the small pelvis, chronic inflammatory diseases of the small pelvic organs.

The article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific debate on the diagnosis and prevention of disorders in hemostatic blood system in women with antenatal fetal death. The main purpose of this investigation is to study the changes in the hemostatic system in pregnant women with antenatal fetal death, namely to evaluate the features of procoagulant, anticoagulant and fibrinolytic units of the hemostatic system in women with antenatal fetal death. The systematization of literary sources and approaches to the problem of hemostatic disorders in antenatal fetal death provides an opportunity to confirm the importance of this issue, to reasonably evaluate the risks during pregnancy in each particular woman and, first of all, to prevent the occurrence of this complication. This article presents the results of a retrospective study of individual case histories of pregnant women and the case histories of childbirth of women with antenatal fetal death and physiological pregnancy in the period from 2016 to 2018. The relevance of the study of this pathology is that every fifth woman of reproductive age faces a problem such as perinatal loss. In the structure of perinatal losses, antenatal fetal death occupies a special place, which can lead to the development of fetal loss syndrome, DIC, infectious complications in the mother and infertility or subfertility in the future, which in general has a negative impact on the reproductive potential of the nation. In the course of our work we evaluated such coagulogram indicators as: prothrombin index, thrombin time, activated partial thrombin time, soluble fibrin monomer complexes, plasma fibrinogen, antithrombin III, and protein C. It is established that pregnant women with antenatal fetal death are characterized by increased blood clotting activity against the background of suppression of anticoagulant and fibrinolytic units of hemostasis. Determination of the activity of antithrombin III informs about the state of anticoagulation system of the body and provides an opportunity to adjust the treatment with anticoagulant drugs of direct action. Indicators of coagulogram canʼt fully reflect the state of hemostasis during pregnancy, so the search for new methods of early diagnosis of imbalance in the system of hemostasis during pregnancy remains relevant at this stage. These studies may be useful for gynecologists, especially in women's counseling, for the formation of risk groups for pregnant women and for preventive measures to prevent antenatal fetal death.

The objective: a study of the hemostasis system in pregnant women with a risk of preeclampsia development.Materials and methods. 100 pregnant women with the risk for preeclampsia (main group) were examined. The risk factors were determined according to the Guideline “Hypertensive Disorders During Pregnancy”, Order No. 676 of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The control group contained of 50 healthy women with physiological pregnancy. The groups were representative in age and reproductive history.The following indicators of hemostasis were studied: the platelet system (the number of platelets, their aggregation ability and the total platelet aggregation index (TPAI), the coagulation system (autocoagulation test, thrombin time, prothrombin index, fibrinogen concentration) and the state of the fibrinolysis system which was determined by such indicators: plasma level of free heparin, activity of antithrombin III, indicators of ethanol and protamine sulfate tests, concentration of soluble fibrin in blood plasma.Results. In pregnant women with a risk of preeclampsia, there are changes in platelet hemostasis indicators: a significant decrease in the number of platelets and a significant (p<0.05) increase in platelet aggregation ability, there is a tendency to an increase in TPAI indicators. In the main group a significant increase in the fibrinogen concentration, plasma lysis indicators and a tendency to an increase of the free heparin concentration, a decrease of antithrombin III and, in comparison with the indicators in healthy women, a 3-fold increase in the content of soluble fibrin (p<0.05) were found.Conclusions. In pregnant women with a risk of preeclampsia development, there are disorders in the vascular-platelet hemostasis, coagulation and fibrinolytic blood systems, namely, a significant tension in the platelet link of the system, an increase in thrombogenic potential, and a sharp inhibition of the fibrinolytic link of hemostasis.

Aim. To study the hormonal status in pregnant women of older reproductive age and estimate the influence of administration of medical ozone on the course of pregnancy. Materials and methods. Ninety pregnant women aged 3544 years were examined over the period from 2013 to 2015. They were randomized by their age, social factors, associated gynecological and extragenital diseases. The main group (group I) joined 30 patients, the group of comparison (group II) 30 patients and the control (group III) 30 patients. All the patients underwent clinical and laboratory investigations according to the existing standards of obstetric examination. In the main group, complex treatment included therapy with medical ozone. In the comparison group, a standard medico-preventive therapy by the protocol №05 (20.02.2014 MH of AR) was implemented. In the control group, estrogen indices were studied in dynamics. Results. Pregnant women aged 35 years and older have an unfavorable background of extragenital and gynecological pathology that is confirmed by hormonal background. Conclusions. Planning of pregnancy, timely prevention and correction of clinicolaboratory indices permit to reduce the frequency and severity of pregnancy and delivery complications and improve the perinatal indices among patients of this age group.

Despite numerous studies devoted to the etiological factors and pathogenetic aspects of infertility, the lack of a comprehensive analysis of the causes of ovarian dysfunction and the exact diagnosis leads to the polypharmacy of hormonal drugs and their low effectiveness. One of the less well known and poorly studied factors is pelvic venous complications, including varicose veins of the ovaries. Violation of venous circulation in the pelvic organs plays a significant role in the structure of gynecological pathology, particularly in the development of ovarian dysfunction. The purpose of our study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele, namely the features of anamnesis of life, gynecological and somatic anamnesis, the study of which allows to assess and determine the risk factors, possible causes of ovarian dysfunction and the formation of varicose veins. To solve the goals and objectives, were prospectively examined and divided into 2 groups for the comparative analysis 117 pregnant women of reproductive age (21–44 years old) with functional infertility: the main group was 62 women with infertility and varicose veins in the ovaries; comparison group has 55 women with infertility without varicose veins. Patients were examined by a specially designed questionnaire, which included the results of gynecological and somatic anamnesis, anamnesis of life. In the main group of women there is an increased proportion of women with intellectual differentiation of labor and psycho-emotional and physical activity, which may be the basis for the formation of maladaptation syndrome with the subsequent occurrence of functional disorders of the reproductive system. In addition, conditions of work with considerable physical activity can indirectly have a negative effect on venous hemodynamics in the small pelvis. Women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele had a high incidence of infectious diseases in childhood — 83.9%. It is precisely at the stage of formation of reproductive function that the action of an infectious factor can be significant in the occurrence of violations of complete oogenesis in the subsequent reproductive life of patients. Attention is drawn to the large number of inflammatory diseases of the internal organs in women as the main group and the comparison group in the study of the somatic anamnesis: from the otolaryngologic organs — 48.3%, respiratory organs – 54.7%, genitourinary system — 43.5% and in the structure of gynecological diseases: inflammation of ovaries — 43.5%, vagina and cervix — 25.8%, suggesting that factors of violations of folliculogenesis in active reproductive age may be inflammatory diseases of the genitals. There is a significant percentage of dyshormonal abnormalities in the form of abnormal uterine bleeding in the structure of gynecological pathology in women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele (30.6%) against patients with infertility without structural changes in ovarian veins. Patients with infertility are more likely to point out dysgharmony of sexual life (58.1%), which in patients with varicose veins in the pelvic organs was accompanied by dyspareunia (32.2%), suggesting the role of chronic stress as a risk factor for ovarian dysfunction, which is also exacerbated by the presence pain of syndrome in the lower abdomen in women of the main group (77,4%). The more significant percentage of gynecological pathology of endocrine genesis in women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele and the presence of certain extragenital pathology, which affects the formation of pelvic pelvic flooring in comparison with patients with infertility without structural changes in ovarian veins, is established during the analysis of the clinical characteristics of the significant percentage of venous hemodynamics in the functional properties of the ovary and induces further investigation of the role of varicose veins of the pelvic reservoirs, in particular ovariсovariсocele, in the pathogenesis of ovarian dysfunction in order to further develop the methods of therapeutic correction.

Premature labour (PL) is one of the most actual and unsolved problem of obstetrics. There are many data in the li terature about the role of the disturbed ratio of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines, neopterin in the implementation of PL. Many authors support the theory of the predominant fetus factor in the initiation of PL. The goal of our research is studying of the characteristics of the local immune status, neopterin and cortisol levels in various variants of preterm labour. Materials and methods. 77 patients were divided into 2 groups. The main group (52 pregnant women with PL) was also divided into 2 subgroups: the first (1A) subgroup consisted of 28 pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) without regular labour contractions. Another subgroup (1B) was presented by 24 women with labour activity and unruptured amniotic sac (true PL). In the control group we included 25 women with term labour. The level of the expression of mRNA genes of a congenital immunity in a cervical canal by the test-system ImmunoQuantex (IL1B, IL10, IL18, TNF2, TLR4, GATA3, CD68, B2M), as well as serum levels of neopterin and cortisol. The results were analyzed by standard statistical methods. Results. There were no significant difference in the expression levels of most of the genes of innate immunity between the study groups (p > 0.05). The investigation of expression of TLR4, GATA3 genes in different types of PL revealed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in patients with PROM (1A subgroup). In addition in the 1A subgroup the inflammation index was higher (Me = 99,5%, p < 0.01). There were no fundamental difference in the state of the local immune status between groups of true preterm and term labour. Analysis of neopterin content among the subjects showed a significant increase in the main group (PL) compared with the control group (p = 0.0064). The comparison of the neopterin level between different variants of PL had a higher index (p < 0.025). The concentration of cortisol in the study groups had no principle difference from the main (PL) group and control group (p > 0.05). The maximum cortisol level was found in the subgroup 1B (true PL), which is significantly higher than in the subgroup 1A (with PROM) and in the control group (p < 0.01). Conclusion. The difference in the state of local immune status in different variants of premature labour demonstrates different mechanisms of initiation of preterm labour. It is likely that the ratio of TLR4/GATA3 and index of inflammation determins the onset of preterm labour. The level of neopterin can be used as a marker of the onset of PL. The increase of cortisol determines the role of the fetus factor in the onset of labour.

Introduction: The article presents information about the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a syphilitic infection in the anamnesis. The peculiarities of the state of newborn babies born from mothers who have suffered syphilis are described. To date, the incidence of syphilis in Ukraine has a clear tendency to decline, but still remains quite high. The maximum incidence of syphilis is observed in women aged 15-20 years. The combination of pregnancy and syphilitic infection in an anamnesis is an unfavorable factor in regard to high risk of perinatal complications, the frequency of which does not tend to decrease. The aim - study the features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a syphilitic infection in the anamnesis, the evaluation of the state of newborns. Materials and methods: A prospective examination of 57 healthy women and their newborns (control group) and 60 pregnant women with a history of syphilitic infection (the main group) had been conducted. All pregnant women had undergone ultrasound examination, including feto- and placentometry, an estimate of the amount of amniotic fluid. The effect of the transferred syphilis on the state of the newborn had been assessed in accordance with the results of the clinical examination of an anthropometric data, including an Apgar score. Results: It is stated that the incidence of latent (41,66%) and forms with a prolonged course (20,00%) of syphilitic infection. The threat of premature childbirth was almost 3,5 times higher than in women with syphilis, cases of an anemia in pregnant women – 2 times, hypertensive disorders of pregnant women were 2,4 times more common in women of the main group, fetal development retardation syndrome 6,4 times, while a greater percentage of this disorder was recorded among women in the main group who were ill with latent forms and suffered secondary recurrent syphilis (35%). In 20% of the cases, pregnancy in women with syphilis has been completed by the cesarean section, an abnormality of the contractile capacity of the uterus was significantly higher – 23,33%. The adaptive capacity of the newborns in the main group has been significantly lower, compared to the control group. Conclusions: Syphilitic infection in the anamnesis complicates the course of pregnancy with numerous pathological conditions. Syphilitic infection, borne before pregnancy, affects not only the course of pregnancy, but also the course of childbirth and the postpartum period. The pathological conditions in infants are due to a decrease in resistance to birth stress, early depletion of adaptive resources of newborns under the influence of a syphilitic infection of the mother. In children who have experienced chronic intrauterine hypoxia, the risk of hemorrhagic syndrome is significantly higher due to increased permeability of the vascular wall. Such children have a tendency to develop neurological disorders and respiratory system lesions.
