Characteristics of laboratory parameters of examination of women of reproductive age, patients with combined pathology of the uterus: leiomyoma and adenomyosis

The combined pathology of the uterus, leiomyoma and adenomyosis, is one of the pressing problems of modern medicine, and is accompanied by a deficiency of vitamins, and the main macro-, trace elements. The purpose — to study the content of folic acid, vitamins B1, D, E, ferritin in blood, zinc, copper, calcium in the blood and remote tissues of the uterus. 150 women were examined: 30 practically healthy women, and 120 patients with combined uterine pathology with leiomyoma and adenomyosis. Group I — practically healthy women; Group ІІА — patients with asymptomatic leiomyoma of the uterus and adenomyosis nodular, diffuse, diffuse-focal І, ІІ, ІІІ, ІV degrees of severity of active clinical course; group IB — patients with symptomatic leiomyoma of the uterus and adenomyosis diffuse, diffuse-focal І, II degrees of severity of inactive clinical course. The content of folic acid, vitamins B1, D, E, ferritin in blood, zinc, copper, calcium in blood and remote tissues of the uterus was studied, the hormonal status of women with combined uterus pathology. Determined that the level of folic acid was significantly lower in relation to the control group by 1.5 times, vitamin B1 — by 3.6 times, vitamin D — by 2,3 times, vitamin E — by 1.5 times. In groups ІІА, II B, the concentration of ferritin in comparison with group І was by 11.9 and by 13.4 times lower, respectively. In relation to the control group І, the content of Zn was lower in the group ІІА by 1.9; Cu — by 1.25 times more, in group IIB — by Zn 2.0 times less, Cu — by 1.2 times more, respectively. In group ІІА, the calcium content did not significantly differ from the indicators of the control group, in group IIB there was a significant increase in calcium levels by 1.2 times. The content of estradiol in patients of group IIB was by 1.5 times higher than in women of group ІІА, progesterone — by 1.15 times lower, luteinizing hormone — by 1.3 times less, follicle-stimulating hormone — by 1.2 times lower respectively. Thus, Determining the content of zinc, copper, calcium in the blood and remote tissues at case of a combined pathology of the uterus with leiomyoma and adenomyosis is of practical importance from the point of view of timely prevention of diseases.

The reproductive potential of a woman depends on indicators of the ovarian reserve, such as the anti-Muller hormone (AMH) and the number of antral follicles (NAF). Autoimmune diseases have a significant effect on fertility and contribute to the development of premature ovarian failure. Aim.To evaluate the parameters of the ovarian reserve in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, carriers of antibodies to the thyroid gland in a state of euthyroidism and compare them with similar parameters in healthy women. Materials and methods.In the first block of the study, the level of AMH, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, NAF was studied among 224 women with diabetes and 230 healthy women in the control group. In block II, the level of the above hormonal indices was studied in 35 carriers of antithyroid antibodies in the state of euthyroidism and 35 healthy women. Results.In patients with type 1 diabetes, the level of AMH, NAF was statistically significantly lower when compared with the control group. Among carriers of antithyroid antibodies and healthy women, no difference in AMH and NAF was found. Conclusion.The autoimmune processes accompanying diabetes are more influenced by the ovarian reserve indices than autoimmune aggression to the tissues of the thyroid gland.

Laparoscopic Removal

The aim: The aim of the study was to improve the results of treatment of patients with endometriosis by using a combination method of therapy. Materials and methods: For two years, 136 women of reproductive age who underwent laparoscopic surgeries for ovarian endometriosis were monitored: Group I (n = 24) did not receive any hormonal treatment in the perioperative period; Group II (n = 32) – received gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists within 3 months after surgery; Group III (n = 80) prior to laparoscopic removal of the ovarian cyst used gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists – Triptorelin 3.75 mg intramuscularly for 2 months, as well as three months after surgery. The control group consisted of 30 healthy women of reproductive age with regular menstrual periods. All patients underwent transvaginal ultrasound, counting the number of antral follicles before and after treatment. Serum hormone levels (FSH, prolactin, thyrotropic hormone, anti-Mullerian hormone, inhibin B) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on Cobas e-411 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland) on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle and on day 2–3 of the first menstrual period after the end of treatment. Laparoscopic removal of the cyst was performed with exfoliation of the cyst, hemostasis on the wound surface of the bed of the cyst was performed with a bipolar electrocoagulator. Bipolar coagulation and resection of the ovarian tissue with no potential was used during surgical treatment of the ovaries, which made it possible to preserve the intact portion of the ovary as much as possible. Results: Analysis of ovarian reserve indices, namely number of antral foliculs, number of antral follicles, AMG, and inhibin B levels in all examined patients with ovarian endometriomas were significantly lower than those of the control group before the start of treatment: in the ovarian endometrial group group 1.26 times (p <0.01), inhibin B – 1.5 times (p <0.01), the number of antral follicles – 1.2 times (p <0.01), due to the development dystrophic changes of the follicular apparatus due to prolonged compression, hypoxia, fibrosis in the ovaries. Patients who planned pregnancy were advised to have an active sexual life before menstruation was restored. In 23 (46.9%) of 49 patients who had reproductive plans, pregnancy occurred without first menstruation after a course of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, 12 (24.5%) women became pregnant during the first three menstrual cycles. Extracorporeal fertilization was recommended for women who did not have pregnancy within 6 months of surgery. For two years in women who did not plan pregnancy, recurrence of endometriosis was not observed. Conclusions: The combination of laparoscopic treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in patients with endometriosis with infertility allowed to restore reproductive function in 71.4% of women, which indicates the effectiveness of the treatment method used. In addition, it helps to achieve lasting remission and addresses the socio-social problems of women’s health and maternity.

This study was a case-control study of 44 children ages 3 to 24 months. The purpose of the study was to compare the humoral and cellular immunity of 29 patients (Group I) who were less than the 3rd percentile for weight by Turkish standards versus a control group of 15 patients (Group II) with weights between the 25th and 90th percentiles. The Group I patients were considered to have protein energy malnutrition (PEM) with various degrees of severity based on a Turkish classification method established by Dogramaci and Wray in 1958. None of the Group I patients had frank kwashiorkor, but 19 had bronchopneumonia, six had gastroenteritis, and four had both forms of infection at the time studies were done. Detailed immunologic evaluation was carried out on all the subjects including IgG, IgM, IgA, C3, mature T lymphocytes (CD3+), helper/inducer T Lymphocytes (CD4+) and suppressor/cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8+). The authors chose to study patients with PEM and infections because the immune response is more likely to be suppressed at this time. In the PEM group all of the immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA) were significantly elevated over the controls level (P < .01). This hyperimmunoglobulinemia state has been previously reported and could be secondary to reduced suppressor T lymphocytes (C8+). C3 complement levels were also significantly lower (P < .01) than controls, which have been previously noted. These low C3 levels could be secondary to decreased production from the liver or increased utilization with an intercurrent infection. In evaluating the lymphocyte series CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ were all significantly reduced while CD4/CD8 levels were normal.

Qualitative and quantitative assessment of microbes making the microbiocenosis of genital tract in women with inflammatory and proliferative diseases of cervix using Femoflor-16 test was the aim of the research. Scrapings of cervix and vaginal fornix in 100 women of reproductive age with cervicitis, vaginitis and in 31 women with cervical pseudoerosion (ectropion) were studied. The control group consisted of 35 relatively healthy women preparing for pregnancy. Cervical and vaginal dysbiosis was found in women with inflammatory diseases of cervix in 37.0% of cases, in women with pseudoerosion in 32.2% of cases. These are 3.3 (р<0.005) and 2.8 (р<0.02) times as much as in the group of healthy women preparing for pregnancy (11.1%). Dysbiosis structure was represented primarily by obligate anaerobic agents such as Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Eubacterium spp. in association with other opportunistic bacteria that are clinically most significant microorganisms colonizing female genital tract. Mycoplasma and yeast-like fungi of Candida species were found primarily with anaerobes. Aerobic and mixed dysbiosis were only found in 7% of cases in women with inflammatory diseases. Femoflor-16 test is a readily available, fast, efficient, up-to-date method enabling one to begin with early adequate antibacterial therapy and monitor it.

Aim. To study the skin microbiota of pregnant women suffering from atopic dermatitis.Methods. 53 women of reproductive age suffering from atopic dermatitis (28 pregnant and 25 non-pregnant) were examined. The control group included dermatologically healthy women (25 pregnant and 25 non-pregnant). Prior to treatment initiation and on 15-day of study pathological process spread, the SCORAD index (scoring of atopic dermatitis - atopic dermatitis severity assessment), dermatology life quality index determination were conducted. In addition, microbiological study of material taken from the forehead, elbow bend skin and visually unaltered forearm skin was performed.Results. In women (pregnant and non-pregnant), suffering from atopic dermatitis skin total bacterial load is increased. In all groups, the skin microbiota is presented mainly by staphylococci: in dermatologically healthy people - coagulase-negative, in atopic dermatitis - Staphylococcusя aureus. In atopic dermatitis Staphylococcus aureus is isolated from both lesions and visually unaltered skin. In pregnant women with atopic dermatitis skin bacterial load was higher, Staphylococcus aureus was found more commonly. The skin microbiota in dermatologically healthy women was more diverse in respect of species comparing with patients with atopic dermatitis. Basic care remedies use leads to clinical improvement and a decrease in the skin total bacterial load and Staphylococcus aureus load. Daily use of emollients has no effect on saprophytic microorganisms.Conclusion. In pregnant patients with atopic dermatitis higher skin total bacterial load and higher rate of skin colonization by Staphylococcus aureus are observed.

Tuberculosis Disease

The authors assessed the quality of life of 263 women of reproductive age. The main group consisted of 139 women aged o18-44 as the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis disease treated in 2011-2012, and the other group of comparison consisted of 124 healthy women of the same age. To assess the life quality the authors used Russian version of the SF-36 which included questions of medico- social nature. It was proved that all the life quality parameters of the women suffering from tuberculosis disease were reduced in comparison with the control group of the healthy women. The only exception was the pain syndrome for which the statistical significance wasn’t reached at all and the physical functioning was assessed at the lowest level. The life quality problem was identified almost in half of the women that proved by the obtained data. Analysis of quality of life of the women established that 25-34 years respondents had the highest reducing of the rates. The analyzed group of patients differed from the low level of the socio- economic independence relatively favorable structure of clinical tuberculosis forms but with a high frequency of tubercle bacilli discharging and detection of lung tissue destructing. Generally, women with pulmonary tuberculosis had numerous risk factors for disease and co-morbidities aggravating the main process. The unfavorable health and social hygienic characteristics of the analyzed group of patients contribute to late making a diagnosis and spreading the infection among the population, including the women of reproductive age. Therefore health care professionals need to make efforts to promote healthy lifestyle and prevention of tuberculosis with this contingent that will allow to prevent new cases of disease and to reduce morbidity. The aim of any disease treatment, including tuberculosis should be considered as acts to improve the life quality of patients in case of positive clinical dynamics. Therefore it is important to guide medical practice for the patients’ psychosomatic status correcting in the early stages of disease that will be able to solve health problems more successfully. Thereby, the authors think it is necessary to organize services; to open offices where patients could get psychosocial correction and rehabilitation, to train the specialists.

Objective. To assess the condition of newborns from women of the late reproductive period (LRP), depending on the parity of births.Material and methods. The authors examined 130 pregnant women and their 130 newborns. Group I consisted of 60 primiparous women of late reproductive period and their 60 newborns, Group II included 40 multiparous women of the late reproductive period and their 40 newborns, Group III (control group) consisted of 30 healthy pregnant women aged from 18 to 25 years and their 30 newborns. The authors performed a retrospective analysis of the gestation course and perinatal outcomes. Ultrasound and neurosonography were used among the instrumental research methods.Results. Women of the late reproductive period gave birth to children in a state of asphyxia twice more often, who develop neurological disorders 1,5 times more often and complex postnatal adaptation and disorders of the perinatal period are twice more likely. Among women of the late reproductive period, primiparous women gave birth to children with the most severe disorders.Conclusion. The high incidence of neurological diseases in children born from women of the late reproductive period is associated with age-related changes in their germ cells, the implementation of assisted reproductive technologies, and the intake of hormonal drugs in early pregnancy. The data obtained should be taken into account by obstetricians in the course of pregnancy in women of late reproductive age; they should be included in the group of high risk of developing neurological disorders in children.

Objective. The aim was to study the characteristics of reproductive function in women of fertile age with infertility and hyperfunction of the thyroid gland. Materials and methods. The object of the study was 148 women of fertile age. To compare the indicators obtained by special methods, the control group included the indicators of laboratory and instrumental examination of 30 non-pregnant women of reproductive age. Reproductive function was evaluated in 118 women with hyperthyroidism: 58 retrospectively (group I) and 60 prospectively (group II); the control group consisted of 30 healthy women of reproductive age. Hormonal studies were performed by radioimmune and enzyme immunoassay methods using the automatic analyzer "Cobb" ("Hoffmann La Roche", Switzerland), as well as DPS test systems the analyzer Immulite (USA). Ultrasound of the thyroid gland was performed by a linear sensor with a frequency of 7.5 MHz. The volume of the thyroid gland was calculated according to the Bruno formula. Results. For women of fertile age with hyperthyroidism, a decrease in ovarian reserve is characteristic that is manifested by a significant increase in FSH level (14.1 3.1 IU / L, p 0.05), and a decrease in inhibin B level (35.9 12,7 pg / ml, p 0.05). In 47.7 % of women of fertile age with hyperthyroidism, there is a decrease in ovarian volume and a significant reduction in the average number of antral follicles of normal size (4.34 1.56, p 0.05). Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that in diffuse toxic goiter there are not only functional disorders (metabolism of hormones of the reproductive system), but also deep organic changes in the structure of the ovaries that leads to a rapid suppression of their functions. In cases of thyroid diseases, the clinical manifestation of these changes is premature and early menopause.
