There are 143 men (group I) with idiopathic infertility in the form of asthenozoospermia of the II degree living in the territories of the Kiev region (Poles’ky, Chernobylsky, Ivan’kovsky, Borodyansky, Vyshgorodsky districts) were investigated in the Department of Sexual Pathology and Andrology of the SI «Institute of Urology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine» and exposed to ionizing radiation due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. All individuals in the I group were born from parents who were in the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the area of radioactive contamination and permanently resided in areas with a high level of radioactivity. The control group was made up of persons born and living in the Ivano-Frankivsk region with a similar condition (group II, n=57). The mean age of the studied group I was 28,3±2,4 years, and persons of the II group were 30,1±2,8 years. Diagnosis of II was performed ambulatory in accordance with WHO and Ministry of Health of Ukraine standards. The study was to study and compare spermogram parameters in patients from both groups. It has been established that the reproductive problems of men with idiopathic infertility living in radiation-polluted areas of the Kiev region of Ukraine consist in a significant violation of the quality indicators of ejaculate (mobility by the pool A+B is less than 1,6 times, p<0,05) correlating with modifications of physicochemicals (the average time of liquefaction is 1,4 times greater, p<0,05) and biochemical (decrease of levels of fructose by 2,2 times, citrate – by 1,6 times, p<0,01–0,05) data characterizing the effect of ionizing radiation, as one one of the leading factors of male genital function violation. The study found that the level of general indicators of spermogramm is significantly worse in the regions of Ukraine who were exposed to radioactive contamination due to the Chernobyl accident, in contrast to the indicators of persons from conditionally pure regions.

Introduction: During pregnancy in the body of a healthy woman there are physiological and psychological changes that contribute to the bearing a child and prepare the female for future labour and motherhood. In women who experience failure at the stage of fertilization or during pregnancy, as a result of prolonged negative emotional states, psycho-emotional stress develops. The aim of the research was to study the psycho-emotional state of women with infertility in history, whose pregnancy resulted from extracorporal fertilization (IVF), and to develop methods for reducing their anxiety. Materials and methods: At the first stage, the initial psycho-emotional state of 60 women in the second trimester, whose pregnancy resulted from IVF (Group I), was studied; the control group consisted of 20 healthy women with a physiological course of pregnancy (Group II). At the second stage, 10 art therapy exercises with a requestioning of pregnant women from Group I were conducted for improving their psycho-emotional state. Results: Women of Group I had a high level of both situational anxiety (SA) and the personal one (PA). The prevalent type of the psychological component of gestational dominant was anxiety and euphoric types (58.3%). In one third of women with burdened gynecological history examined mild or masked depression was diagnosed. 43 pregnant women from Group I used a method of psychocorrection – art therapy, which included colouring “antistress” pictures of perinatal topic, making flowers from paper and creating a collage of dreams. Conclusions: After the art therapy course, a high level of SA (from 46.5% to 7.0%) and OA (from 48.8% to 32.6%) decreased, the index of the optimal type of the psychological component of gestational dominant increased from 25.6% to 53.5%. The number of women without depression increased from 62.8% to 93%.

This paper shows the results of production and chemical compo­sition of cow’s milk on a farm MILKO-HF, Prilep, R. Macedonia with capacity of 100 cows of Holstein-Frisian breed divided into two groups (control and experimental). In control group I which was fed in a standard way of nutrition (ration used on the farm), average daily production of milk per cow ws 22.49 kg with the following chemical composition of milk: average daily content of milk fat is 3.75%, protein 3.57%, lactose 4.65%, nonfat dry matter 9.56% and total dry matter 13.31%. In experimental group II which were fed with the ration according to normatives, average daily production of milk per cow is 24.04 kg with the following chemical composition of milk: average daily content of milk fat is 3.99%, protein 3.57%, lactose 4.65%, non-fat dry matter 9.58% and total dry matter 13.57%. The obtained results show the increase in milk production for 1.55 kg-6.89% and better chemical composition of milk in the experimental group of cows. Thus, dry matter was increased from 13.31% to 13.57%-1.95%, milk fat content from 3.75% to 3.99%-6.4%, nonfat dry matter from 9.56% to 9.58%-0.21%, while the content of protein and lactose stayed on equal level. It was determined that the normed nutrition has influenced on production increase and better chemical composition of milk without unnecessary spent high level of nutrient i.e. nutrition of cows according to recommended normative.

Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy specific multisystem disorder. It requires prompt intervention that may include observation in tertiary care setting and termination of pregnancy either by inducing labour or by caesarian section. To study the variation of platelet counts, platelet indices in preeclampsia and eclampsia Department of Pathology and Gynaecology & Obstetrics Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratisthan, Vivekananda Institute of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to June 2018. Group I: Women affected with convulsion and having signs of preeclampsia during pregnancy or within seven days after delivery after ruling out epilepsy or any other convulsive disorder were treated as eclamptic women. Group II: Women having BP> 140/90 mmhg and significant proteinuria (>300mg/24hrs) and or edema are treated as preeclampsia. Group III: Normotensive women having pregnancy >20weeks were considered as control group. Total sample size was 66 pregnant women. 22 patients are taken from each group. The platelet indices e.g. MPV, PDW and also PLCR are in consistent relationship with PIH. The higher their values, the greater severity of PIH, from preeclampsia to eclampsia. The estimation of platelet count and indices offer early, simple, rapid assessments of the disease for its severity and the risk of complications. Therefore these tests may be considered as screening tests to be routinely performed in antenatal workup of women with PIH.

Presented study results of the productivity of mixed-aged cows with prolonged lactation. The formation of experimental groups was carried out according to the principle of analog groups, taking into account breed, live weight, age and physiological condition (lactation):25 animals in groups I, II, III and IV and 10 animals in group V. It was found that with the industrial technology of Holstein cows exploitation, regardless of their age, the duration of the lactation period was almost twice as long as the scientifically substantiated value and ranges from 561.2 to 610.9 days. At the same time, the milk productivity level of the cows in I and IV groups slightly exceeded 13 000 kg of milk per lactation, while in cows if II, III (control), and V groups – this value was higher than 15 000 kg. With prolonged lactation, the milk yield in the experimental groups of animals in terms of 305 days was kept at a fairly high level and there was a definite tendency to an increase in milk yield depending on the age of the animals. The first-calf heifers of group I were characterized by a relatively low milk yield since they gave only 13 291.8 kg of milk for the entire lactation, and in terms of 305 days – 7 944.1 kg, which was 13.57% and compared to III (control) group was 19.54% lower (P < 0.01). Animals of the fifth lactation from group V had the highest milk yield, in which the milk yield per lactation and per 305 days amounted to 15 818.5 kg and 9 716.7 kg of milk, respectively. With intensive exploitation technology and with the increasing age of Holstein cows, complete adaptation occurs, as a result of which their genetic potential for milk production is realized at a high level. This was indicated by the milk yield dynamics in experimental animals of different ages, in which, under the same conditions of feeding and housing, they were gradually increased from the first to the fifth lactation.

В условиях Якутии опытным путем доказано положительное влияние использования кормовых добавок из местных ресурсов в рационах дойных коров на переваримость питательных веществ, использование энергии и повышение молочной продуктивности. Рацион коров состоял из сена разнотравного (10,0 кг) , силоса овсяного (18,0 кг) и комбикорма (2 кг). Животные I опытной группы с хозяйственным рационом получали рецепт №1 из ячменя «Тамми» (27%), овса «Покровский» (35%), пивной дробины (32%), минерального премикса «Мегамикс» (1%), пробиотического препарата «Хонгуринобакт» (2%), поваренной соли (1%). Коровы II опытной группы получали рецепт №2 из ячменя «Тамми» (31%), овса «Покровский» (25%), пивной дробины (38%), минерального премикса «Мегамикс» (1%), пробиотического препарата «Хонгуринобакт» (2%), поваренной соли (1%). Высокий уровень переваримости питательных веществ у коров II опытной группы, по сравнению с животными контрольной и I опытной групп, установлен в отношении сухого вещества на 1,0 и 1,5%, органического вещества — на 2,8 и 2,0%, сырого протеина — на 3,3 и 2,0%, сырого жира — на 2,3 и 1,5%, сырой клетчатки — на 3,0 и 2,0% и БЭВ — на 0,5 и 1,3%. Выявлено, что при одинаковой переваримости коровы контрольной группы потребляли меньше валовой энергии на 4,8 и 3,5 МДж, хуже переваривали энергию на 2,0 и 1,5 МДж. При сравнительно одинаковых потерях энергии выход обменной энергии у коров I опытной группы был выше на 1,5 и 1,1 МДж, чем у сверстниц. За 238 дней лактации получено молока больше, чем от коров контрольной, на 238 кг, или на 10,5% (Р<0,01), и I опытной групп — на 95,2 кг, или на 4,0% (Р<0,05). In the conditions of Yakutia, the positive effect of the use of feed supplements from local resources in the diets of dairy cows on the nutrients digestibility, energy use and an increase in milk productivity has been experimentally proven. The cows' diet consisted of herb hay (10.0 kg), oat silage (18.0 kg), and compound feed (2 kg). The animals of the 1st experimental group with the bulk moulding compound diet received recipe No. 1 from Tammi barley (27%), Pokrovsky oats (35%), brewer's pellet (32%), Megamix mineral premix (1%), probiotic preparation Khongurinobact (2%), sodium chloride (1%). Cows of the II experimental group received recipe No. 2 from Tammi barley (31%), Pokrovsky oats (25%), brewer's pellet (38%), Megamix mineral premix (1%), probiotic preparation Khongurinobakt ( 2%), sodium chloride (1%). A high level of digestibility of nutrients in cows of the II experimental group, in comparison with animals of the control and I experimental groups, was established in relation to dry matter by 1.0 and 1.5%, organic matter by 2.8 and 2.0%, crude protein — by 3.3 and 2.0%, crude fat — by 2.3 and 1.5%, crude fiber — by 3.0 and 2.0% and nitrogen-free extractive substances — by 0.5 and 1.3%. It was found that with the same digestibility, the cows of the control group consumed less gross energy by 4.8 and 3.5 megajoule, and digested energy worse by 2.0 and 1.5 megajoule. With comparatively equal energy losses, the yield of metabolic energy in cows of the I experimental group was higher by 1.5 and 1.1 megajoule than in their herdmates. During 238 days of lactation, milk was obtained more than from the control cows by 238 kg, or 10.5% (R<0.01) and the experimental group I — by 95.2 kg, or 4.0% (R<0.05).

OBJECTIVE: The Chernobyl accident caused widespread effects across Europe and huge areas were radiocontaminated. The major impact of the accident on human health was a sharp increase in childhood thyroid carcinoma and autoimmune thyroid diseases in exposed populations. The thyroidal effects of the Chernobyl accident have been investigated in most European countries, except Turkey. The aim of the current study was therefore to determine the thyroidal consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power station accident in a selected Turkish population. DESIGN: This study was designed as a sectional, area study, between October 2000 and March 2001, in two different regions of Turkey. According to the data of the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, the eastern part of the Black Sea region was the most radiocontaminated area in Turkey at the time of Chernobyl accident, while Middle Anatolia was not seriously affected. Thus, Rize city, which is located in the eastern Black Sea region, served as a study area, and 970 adolescents, living in this region, comprised our study group (group R). On the other hand, Beypazari, which is located in Middle Anatolia, was chosen as the control region, and 710 adolescents living in this location were enrolled into the study as controls (group B). METHODS: During the study, thyroid ultrasounds were performed in all subjects and thyroid volumes were calculated. World Health Organization and International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders criteria were used for the determination of goiter. Thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance was performed when a nodule was detected. Blood samples for thyroid function tests and thyroid autoantibodies, and urine samples for urinary iodine excretion were collected from all subjects. RESULTS: Thyroid function tests were similar in both groups, but thyroid volumes were found to be higher in group B (13.93+/-5.04 vs 17.66+/-5.58 ml; P<0.001). The prevalence of goiter was found to be 28.25% in group R and 61.95% in group B (P<0.001). Thyroid nodules were determined in 6.28% of subjects in group R and 4.22% of subjects in group B (P=0.065). No malignant lesions were found in either of the regions. Although the percentage of autoantibody-positive subjects did not differ between groups (21.25% in group R vs 18.72% in group B), the mean anti-thyroglobulin level was found to be higher in group R (63.25+/-378.60 vs 51.97+/-333.32 IU/ml; P<0.001) and the mean anti-thyroid peroxidase level was higher in group B (24.14+/-219.09 vs 48.82+/-568.50 IU/ml; P<0.001). The iodine status of the selected regions was found to be significantly different (median urinary iodine excretion was 131 microg/l in Rize and 54 microg/l in Beypazari). CONCLUSIONS: Although there was a slight increase in nodule prevalence and thyroid antibody-positive subjects in the study group, it is hard to conclude that Turkey was affected by the Chernobyl accident. These results, at least the significant differences with regard to the prevalence of goiters between groups, may reflect the different iodine status of the selected regions.

Tasks of investigation were concluded the characterization of insulin resistence (IR) and hormonal features in patients with prediabetes and influence of diet or metformin on the course of pregnancy and perinatal complications. There were examined 61 womans. The OGTT, definition of insulin levels in plasma and index IR were performed in all patiens. OGTT and index IR were normal in 14 womans (control group I). OGTT was normal but index IR was impared in 33 womans (group IR - II). From this group 22 womans were treated with diet (II A group) and 11 womans treated with metformin (IIB group). OGTT and index IR were abnormal in 14 womans (impared OGTT - III group), they were treated with metformin. Dose of metformin was 1500 mg/d, threatment was continueted for 3-4 manths. Conclusion: Used indexes IR basal and two hour after glucose load were significant in definition of normal and decreased insulin sensitivity (IR). Presence of IR is accompanied by high level of free testosterone in blood without impared secretion of ovarian and suprarenal androgens. There was impared sensitivity of endometrium of secretory stage. The frequency of obstetric and perinatal complications in patients receiving diet not differ from patients treated with metformin. There was only a tendercy to low frequency of threatening miscarriages befor 12 weeks of gestations in paitiens receiving metformin. Development of GDM was observed in 13,1 % of patiens only with presence of IR. The use of metformin in pregravidal stage preserved the development of macrosomia in offsprings of patients with prediabetes.
