One of the most important options of a favorable course of pregnancy, fetal development and physiological delivery is a balanced and preserving psycho-emotional condition of a woman during pregnancy. In order to study peculiarities of psycho-emotional condition of pregnant women-displaced people, dynamic prospective examination of 96 pregnant women in term of gestation more than 22 weeks (the main group) and 34 pregnant women from the local area (the control group) was conducted. According to STAI data, the mean score of the state anxiety in the main group was 1,6 times higher, personal anxiety — 1,4 times. According to results of the testing by I.V. Dobrjakov, the optimal PCGD type was characterized for 36 (37,5%) pregnant women-displaced people, 24 (25,0%) — hypogestognostic, 9 (9, 4%) — an euphoric, 18 (18,7%) — an anxious, 9 (9,4%) — a depressive. However, every second pregnant woman from the control group had optimal PCGD type – 20 (58,8%; p<0, 05), 12 (35,3%) — a hypogestognostic, 2 (5,9%) — an euphoric. The results of the testing by L. M. Rabovaluk confirmed, that almost all pregnant women of the control group had shown a low anxiety rate, at the same time, choosing the statements of the test, every fifth pregnant women of the main group (21–21,9%) obtained high diagnostic points, which give evidence of high anxious, depression presence. The study of indicators of anxiety, depression and violations of the attitude to pregnancy among pregnant women-displaced person will allow to individualize the approaches to antenatal observation, improve the quality indicators of a mother’s and newborn’s health.

The objective: to improve the treatment of placental dysfunction in pregnant women with oligohydramnios regarding their psychological condition. Patients and methods. Survey was conducted in 120 pregnant women with oligohydramnios the gestational age of 27-29 weeks (main group) and 30 physiologically healthy pregnant women (control group) on the basis of the city clinical hospital of Ivano-Frankivsk. Results. During the study of psychological features we have not yet determined significant differences in the level of personal anxiety with oligohydramnios as compared with pregnant women with physiological gestation. Also, was found the division of examined for low, medium, and high levels of this indicator between the two pregnant groups. In particular, approximately half of the individuals had an average level of personal anxiety – 14 (46.67±9.11%) and 57 healthy pregnant women (47.50±4.56%) with oligohydramnios, third – highest, respectively 11 (36.67±8.80%) and 39 (32.50±4.58%), the lowest level recorded in 5 (16.67±6.80 per cent) and 24 (20.00±3.65%) patients. A comprehensive approach to correction of the condition of water shortage has been applied in women of the main group, which included: psychological support for couples with sessions with a psychologist to control emotions. Establishing emotional contact with a woman, trust relationships, discussion of physical and emotional changes is a part of pregnancy. Conclusion. In the result of the researches, the approach proposed by us to the treatment of pregnancy with oligohydramnios, allowed to reduce the stress of compensatory mechanisms of the fetoplacental unit, which contributed to the reduction of anxiety in pregnant and have improved not only obstetric but also perinatal outcomes in women of the main group. Key words: pregnancy, placental dysfunction, oligohydramnios, Cytoflavin.

                                  The issue of preserving the reproductive health of the nation in Ukraine is very acute. The psycho-emotional state of a woman is of particular importance for the prolongation of pregnancy and the normal course of labor. Violation of adaptive mechanisms which are aimed at restructuring the functional systems of the body during pregnancy and on the eve of childbirth, as well as the state of chronic stress contribute to the increase in the of obstetric and perinatal complications frequency and have an adverse effect on the course of pregnancy. The aim of the reaserch was to study the dynamics of psycho-emotional state features in pregnant women after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) application in order to improve the tactics of antenatal surveillance. To achieve this goal, 299 pregnant women were comprehensively examined in the dynamics of prospective observation, which were distributed as follows – the main group included 249 women whose pregnancy occurred as a result of the ART application. The control group consisted of 50 pregnant women with spontaneous pregnancy and its physiological course, which were registered for pregnancy at 6-8 weeks. The women of main group whose pregnancy occurred as a result of ART application were divided into three groups, depending on the factor that caused infertility. The first group included 94 women with tubal-peritoneal factor of infertility, the second group was formed by 87 women with endocrine factor of infertility, the third group included 68 women whose infertility was caused by the male factor. Pregnant women of the study groups by age, marital and social status, place of residence were representative, which allowed further to judge the differences caused by etiological factors of infertility. In order to determine the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women in the study groups in the screening mode, a clinical interview was conducted by filling out questionnaires that contained the constituent questions of the STAI tests in the modification of Yu. L. Khanin and the "Pregnant Attitude Test" by the method of I. V. Dobryakov. The obtained test results indicate that the average score of reactive anxiety in pregnant women of the main group exceeded the same indicator of the control group and was: 49 - pregnant women with tubal-peritoneal type of infertility, 56 - pregnant women with endocrine type of infertility, 44 - pregnant women with male factor of infertility, 24 - control group. According to the results of testing, a significant difference was revealed in the indicators of personal anxiety. The values of indicators of personal anxiety were: 51 - pregnant women with tubal-peritoneal type of infertility, 54 - pregnant women with endocrine type of infertility, 31  -pregnant women with male factor of infertility, 31 - control group. Low level of personal anxiety was observed in 26 (27,6%) pregnant women of I group, 29 (33,3%) pregnant women of II group, which is significantly less in comparison with the indicator of pregnant women of the control group – 33 (66,0%) and III group - 33 (48,5%) (p < 0,05). Moderate type of personal anxiety was observed in 46 (48.9%) pregnant women of group and 40 (45.9%) pregnant women of II group compared to the indicator of the control group – 11 (22, 0%) (p < 0,05). Moderate type of personal anxiety was determined in 25 (36,7%) cases in pregnant women of III group and did not differ significantly from the indicators of I, II and control groups (p > 0,05). A high level of personal anxiety was observed in 22 (23,5%) pregnant women of group I, 18 (20,8%) pregnant women of group II, which is significantly higher in comparison with the indicator of pregnant women of the control group – 6 (12,0%) (p < 0,05). Thus, the study of the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women after the application of ART deviations in the level of personal and reactive anxiety and pathological types of gestational dominant, which are inherent in pregnant women of the main group. Taking into account the above, we consider it appropriate to involve a psychologist to work with the examined pregnant women in order to correct the identified abnormalities.

Objective: to assess the value of the psychoemotional state of pregnant women in the development of a prolonged second period of labor.Material and methods. 76 pregnant women were examined. In 26 women, childbirth was complicated by a prolonged second period of labor, and they constituted the main group. The control group included 50 women who had physiologic birth. The psychoemotional state was analyzed using the Spielberg test and the test of a pregnant woman's attitudes.Results. There were some differences between the groups in terms of the tendency in the levels of personal anxiety and occurrence of high situational anxiety. The Spielberg test has revealed more «positive» affirmative answers than «negative» ones. 46.1 % women in the main group do not «feel a sense of inner satisfaction», which is statistically significantly higher than in the control group - 24.0 % (p = 0.04). In the main group, in contrast to the control group, the women are more often not «worried about possible failures». During the study of the types of the psychological component of the gestational dominant, mixed types were mainly observed, and the distribution in the groups did not have statistically significant differences. The women with a prolonged second period of labor had a tendency to form the predominantly euphoric type of the psychological component of the gestational dominant.Conclusion. During pregnancy, the patients with a prolonged second period formed a coping strategy in the form of a predominantly euphoric attitude to pregnancy associated with elevated situational anxiety.

A functional cervical insufficiency plays an important role in the etiology of miscarriage and premature birth. The aim of research was to estimate the hormonal balance indexes during the course of pregnancy in pregnant women with functional cervical insufficiency and to correct the revealed violations in order to prevent obstetric complications. 101 pregnant women with confirmed diagnosis of a functional cervical insufficiency in term of gestation 22–32 weeks of pregnancy (the main group) and 34 pregnant women and women in labor with physiological condition of the cervix (the control group) were examined. The content of estradiol, progesterone, cortisol and prolactin was examined in the blood serum. On the second stage of examination 63 pregnant women obtained general basic therapy (I main group) and 38 pregnant women (II main group) received a developed treatment complex which included progesterone support by the micronized progesterone 200–400 mg twice a day up to 34–35 weeks of pregnancy, magnesium support by the magnesium orotate dehydrate in the therapeutic dosage and arginine glutamate in the therapeutic dosage. The correction of cervical insufficiency was performed with the help of a cervical pessary (according to indications). The examination of hormonal balance revealed an accurate decease of progesterone concentration on the background of high concentration of estradiol and increased levels of stress-associated hormones. Propitious influence of the developed therapy is proved by increase of progesterone concentration in the blood serum, normalization in stress-associated hormones balance according to gestational age. All this provideded the decrease of specific weight of threatened preterm labors, placental dysfunction, vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis and delay the labors up to 38–39 weeks of gestation in 97,4% of pregnant women (82,5% in the I main group). Prescription of micronized progesterone, magnesium orotate dehydrate, arginine glutamate to pregnant women with a cervical insufficiency is reasonable and effective one comparing with general and traditional therapy.

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.

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.

The aim of the work is to assess the effects of cytomegalovirus infection on the 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in the villous chorion syncytiotrophoblast in the first trimester of pregnancy. The materials for the study included 48 villous chorions samples taken during spontaneous abortions at 8th–10th weeks of gestation from women with reactivation of cytomegalovirus infection (the main group). The control group included 35 villous chorions samples from pregnant women with chronic cytomegalovirus infection in the latent stage taken at medical abortions at the same stage of gestation. The results of women’s examination were studied taken into account the activity of cytomegalovirus infection by immunoassay by detection of IgM antibodies or by 4 times and more increase of IgG antibody titers in the paired serums in dynamics in 10 days. The activity of 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase was assessed by the histochemical method. Quantitative evaluation of the reaction products was carried out on sections under the microscope MT (Japan) connected to software-hardware complex «SCION Corporation» (USA). At histochemical specimen of villous chorion of pregnant women who had a reactivation of cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy (main group), there was a decrease of cytophotometric parameter of 20α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity till 30.1±2.12 pixels/μm2 (p<0.001) compared with the control group. The decrease in the reaction activity in syncytiotrophoblast indicated a decrease in the contents of 20α-dihydroprogesterone in placenta, which contributed, in our opinion, to spontaneous abortion.

Aim: to study the activity of the hypoxia marker HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α) in pregnant women with phlebopathy.Materials and Methods. We examined 70 women with phlebopathy in the dynamics of pregnancy. The main group consisted of 30 patients whose newborns had signs of hypoxia; the control group consisted of 40 women with healthy children. All women underwent ultrasound examinations of the veins of the lower extremities and pelvis with an assessment of vascular patency, the condition of the venous valves, and the phenomenon of platelet sludge. The expression of the HIF-1α transcription factor at 18–20 and 36 weeks was performed by real-time PCR.Results. Disorder of veins functional state was found in all pregnant women of the main group, which was accompanied by the formation of platelet sludge of varying degrees in the area of the venous valves in the majority, signs of endothelial dysfunction and venous hypoxia – an increase in the expression of the hypoxia gene HIF1-α by 2.18 times. In the women of the control group the indicators were not violated.Conclusion. The transcription factor HIF1-α can be considered a marker of unfavorable perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with signs of phlebopathy.

Introduction. The presence of somatic diseases during pregnancy leaves a serious imprint on the emotional state of a woman, significantly worsens the quality life indicators and affects the clinical characteristics of pregnancy. One of these diseases is chronic pyelonephritis. There are a fairly large number of recommendations for the treatment of this pathology. However the focus is mainly on drug therapy. At the same time the existing restrictions on the number of drugs using during pregnancy, the problem of polypragmasia, and the increase in the number of allergic complications of drugs using dictate the need to search alternative methods of treatment, primarily non-drug ones. Moreover, the problems of pregnant women life quality with chronic pyelonephritis during complex drug therapy are often not given due attention.The goal of research — to assess the impact of osteopathic correction on the psycho-emotional state and life quality of pregnant women with concomitant pathology of the urinary system.Materials and methods. A prospective controlled randomized study was conducted in the period 03.2016– 01.2018 on the basis of medical clinics of LLC «Mokhov Institute of osteopathy» and LLC «Vasileostrovskaya clinic of reproduction and genetics». There were observed work 48 pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis aged 25–45 years, with a gestation period 13–27 weeks. During the processing of the clinical material, 8 patients were eliminated. As a result of the selection process, a group of 40 people was formed. All pregnant women with chronic kidney disease, depending on the used treatment method, were divided into two groups using a simple randomization method with a random number generator. There was formed the main group (20 people), and the control group (20 people). Patients of the main group received medication and osteopathic correction (3 procedures with an interval of 7–10 days). Patients in the control group received only traditional drug therapy. All pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis had an osteopathic examination before and after treatment with forming an osteopathic conclusion, and the assessment of the pain syndrome severity by a visual analog scale (VAS), the general psycho-emotional state (the method of rapid assessment of health, activity and mood — HAM), and the level of life quality (Questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study — Short Form).Results. Pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis were characterized by a weak pain syndrome, a psychoemotional state violations in the categories «well-being» and «activity», and a decrease in both the physical and mental components of life quality. After the complex treatment including the additional to traditional drug therapy osteopathic correction methods, the statistically significant decrease of the pain severity degree (p=0,001), increase of psychoemotional state rates in the category of «activity» (p=0,05) and the increase of physical and mental components of life quality (p=0,02) were observed in the main group compared with the control.Conclusion. Chronic pathology of the kidneys during pregnancy affects the emotional state of a woman, significantly worsens life quality indicators. The use of osteopathic correction as a part of the complex therapy of pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis can improve the emotional state and life quality; reduce the pain severity, and so can be used to improve medical care for this population category.
