Annotation. According to various estimations, the incidence of adnexal neoplasms during pregnancy makes up from 0.19% to 8.8%. Most of cases are diagnosed in the first trimester and their incidence gradually decreases as the period of pregnancy grows. Depending on their size and location, ovarian tumors may be related to an adverse obstetrical result caused by mechanical influence. They increase the risk of abortion (from 0 to 6%), preterm labor (from 5.8% to 10.4%) and mechanical impediment to labor. Aim – studying the peculiarities of the course of labor and the condition of the newborn of women affected by benign ovarian tumors. We have conducted a complex examination of 67 pregnant women with benign ovarian tumors and tumor-like growths found before pregnancy or in the first trimester of gestation (basic group) and 50 women presenting no ovarian neoplasms or any other severe gynecological or somatic pathology (reference group). To identify the risk factors, the basic group was divided into 2 subgroups. The condition of fetuses was assessed with the use of automated cardiotocography analysis based on the Dawes/Redman criteria, with the calculation of the short-term variability (STV). The mean and standard deviation (M ± m) were evaluated at a significance level of p <0.05. Categorical variables are presented as the absolute number of cases in the group and the frequency in percent – n (%). Tests for differences between independent samples in the case of quantitative variables were performed using Student’s t test, the Mann-Whitney rank test, and in the case of categorical variables using Fisher’s exact test. The obtained results suggest that the course of labor in women affected by benign ovarian neoplasms is characterized by an increased incidence of complications. A significant difference has been established in the incidence of cesarean sections (35.8% vs 8.0% in the reference group, р<0.05), preterm labor (28.4% vs. 6.0%, р<0.05), fetal distress (19.4% vs. 8.0%, р<0.05) and preterm rupture of membranes (17.9% vs. 6.0%, р<0.05). The incidence of almost all complications of labor in Subgroup 1 significantly exceeds the figures from the reference group and the incidence of preterm labor and fetal distress is also higher in comparison with Subgroup 2. The presence of extragenital pathology is a well-known risk factor for perinatal complications, which is also confirmed by our research. A high level of comorbidity of benign ovarian neoplasms with various extragenital diseases also accounts to a certain degree for gestational complications. Thus, pregnancy in women affected by ovarian tumors implies an increased risk of obstetrical and perinatal complications, in particular, threats of miscarriage and preterm labor. The studies of this issue lack systematization, are often controversial and fragmentary. There has been practically no research on the risk factors for such complications and the ways of their prognostication and prevention.

Ovarian tumors may be found in women of any age and the period of pregnancy is no exception. Besides, this period is related to some specific adnexal tumors. A systematic use of ultrasonography in the first trimester of pregnancy has led to a wider detection of symptomless adnexal tumors. The majority of adnexal tumors diagnosed during pregnancy are accidental findings of routine examinations of pregnancy. According to various estimations, the incidence of adnexal neoplasms during pregnancy makes up from 0.19 to 8.8 %. Most of cases are diagnosed in the first trimester and their incidence gradually decreases as the period of pregnancy grows: Trimester 1 – from 21.4 to 75.7 %; Trimester 2 – from 10.9 to 44.4 %; Trimester 3 – from 4 to 22.2 %; after labor – from 0 to 7.1 %. Most of adnexal tumors during pregnancy are benign and physiological and often regress spontaneously. Depending on their size and location, ovarian tumors may be related to an adverse obstetrical result caused by mechanical influence. They increase the risk of abortion (from 0 to 6 %), preterm labor (from 5.8 to 10.4 %) and mechanical impediment to labor. In view of the above mentioned considerations, one of the objectives of our research is to make a retrospective analysis of perinatal peculiarities in women with benign ovarian neoplasms.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of placental dysfunction caused by gestational endotheliopathy on the course of labor and the condition of the newborn. The first group consisted of 70 patients with placental dysfunction with gestational endotheliopathy confirmed by laboratory-instrumental findings in the first trimester of pregnancy. The control group included 30 pregnant women with physiological gestational course. PD secondary to GE leads to preterm birth, fetal distress, increases the percentage of caesarean section, contributes to the delay of fetal growth and birth weight, poor infant status and perinatal complications.

e15538 Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. The fluid content of the cystic ovarian tumors has never been thoroughly analyzed. It is hypothesized that the fluid contents of the ovarian cystic tumors have procoagulant effects. Methods: Under an institutionally approved protocol, cystic fluids from ovarian neoplasms were collected (n=28) and analyzed to determine their procoagulant potential. Assays such as Thrombelastography (TEG, Helige, Germany), Platelet aggregometry (BioData, Horsham, PA), Fibrinopeptide A (FPA, Dade Behring, Marburg, Germany), Thrombin Antithrombin Complex (TAT, Dade Behring), and Zymuphen Platelet Microparticle Activity Assay (Hyphen BioMed, Neuville-Sur-Oise, France). Cerebral Array II (Randox, Crumlin, CO) was used to determine the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), D-Dimer, Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE), Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL), soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor I (TNFRI) and Thrombomodulin. Results: The TEG parameters such as r- time, rk-time, k-time, MA, and angle were measured to be 17 , 22 , 5 , 54 mm, 55° with clear cell carcinoma, 18 , 24 , 6 , 58 , 54° with benign serous cyst compared to saline control values of 23 , 30 , 7 , 41 mm and 48° respectively. Platelet aggregometry showed increased aggregations when cystic fluids were supplemented in donor platelet rich plasma. The levels of Fibrinopeptide A were in the range of 24.1 and 56.6 ng/ml compared to a control value of 1.8 ng/ml. The TAT complexes were in the range of 6.7- 175 µg/ml compared to a control value of 0.7 ug/ml. The platelet microparticle measurements were markedly increased and were in the range of 10-45 nM for benign and malignant cystic fluids, compared to control values in the range of 2.3-6.6 nM. The results of CRP, D-Dimer, NSE, NGAL, TNFRI and TM were 9.28 mg/m (Normal=5.03) , >2000 ng/ml (N=227.34) , >120 ng/ml (N=10.50), >1229 ng/ml (N=228.16), 3.98 ng/ml (5.91) and 13.55 ng/ml (N=13.55) respectively. Conclusions: Benign ovarian tumors have prothrombogenic activity as much as the malignant tumors. Early surgical evaluation of clinically silent benign ovarian tumors should be considered.

The endpoint of the negative impact of adverse processes in the mother’s body with influenza is the formation of placental insufficiency, the basis of which is a violation of the uteroplacental blood flow. The objective: to study the features of the course of pregnancy, the state of the fetus and the newborn after the influenza in the first trimester of pregnancy. Materials and methods. 120 women who had the influenza in the first trimester of pregnancy were examined. In 68 (56.7%) pregnant women signs of feto-placental dysfunction were observed, 2 groups were distinguished: the main group - 68 patients with feto-placental dysfunction, the comparison group – 52 pregnant women without signs of feto-placental insufficiency. Results. 3 times more often than women without manifestations of placental insufficiency (42.6% versus 15.4%; p<0.05) a severe course of influenza was observed, it accompanied by a high frequency of clinical manifestations, including in almost all patients (95.6% versus 67.3%; p<0.05), body temperature rose to 38 °C and higher, and in 61.7% of women it stayed for 4–6 days (versus 11.5%; p<0.05). Among the complications of influenza: bronchitis (25.0% versus 9.3%; p<0.05), pneumonia (17.6% versus 5.7%; p<0.05), sinusitis (17.6% versus 7.7%; p<0.05). The threat of abortion was noted in 57.4% of cases, the threat of preterm birth was observed in 39.7% of women. Most often, placental dysfunction was associated with fetal distress (76.5% versus 13.5%; p<0.05) and growth retardation (54.4% versus 3.8%; p<0.05). 32.4% versus 13.5% of women had preeclampsia (p<0.05). The frequency of both polyhydramnios (17.6%) and low water (10.3%) is significantly higher. By cesarean section, 35.3% women were delivered (versus 15.4%, (p<0.05). Delivery was preterm in 17.6% of women versus 7.7% (p<0.05). Premature discharge of amniotic fluid (17.6%) and pathological blood loss during childbirth (16.2%), fetal distress during childbirth (48.5% versus 9.6%; p<0.05) were noted. Maternal placental dysfunction, fetal distress, prematurity (17.6%) and malnutrition (22.1%) led to a high incidence of birth asphyxia (46.5% versus 19.2%, p <0.05). Half (51.5%) of children had disadaptation syndromes, most often neurological disorders (32.4% versus 11.5%; p<0.05) and respiratory disorders (27.9% versus 7.7%; p<0.05). Conclusion. Influenza in early pregnancy with a severe course and a high frequency of complications is associated with a high frequency of feto-placental dysfunction and other obstetric and perinatal complications, which requires a more detailed study to determine risk factors and develop tactics for managing this category of pregnant women. Keywords: pregnancy, influenza, feto-placental dysfunction, obstetric and perinatal complications, newborn.

Background: The study of hypothyroidism in pregnancy was done with the aim of determining the effect of hypothyroidism on maternal and perinatal outcome. This study also aimed to decide whether universal screening of pregnant women for hypothyroidism is justified.Methods: A prospective observational study was done over a period of 1 year from October 2011 to September 2012, on pregnant women attending the OPD of Obs and Gynae department. Serum TSH is the most convenient and best test to diagnose hypothyroidism in pregnancy in first trimester. Ideal serum TSH level during pregnancy is 0.5-2.5µIU/ml in first trimester and 0.5-3µIU/ml in second and third trimester. First trimester booking visit is the ideal time for initial evaluation. Thereafter serum TSH should be measured at 6 weeks interval for necessary dose adjustments. Levothyroxine is the drug of choice. It should be started at 1.6-2µg/kg/day. If serum TSH is raised but fT4 is normal, treatment can be started with 25-75µg/day.Results: Inadequately treated hypothyroid pregnant women had higher incidence of maternal complications in comparison to adequately treated hypothyroid patients, like threatened abortion (11.1% vs 1.5%), antepartum hemorrhage (7.4% vs 1.5%), premature rupture of membrane (14.8% vs 3.0%), preterm labour (18.5% vs 1.5%), postpartum hemorrhage (9.3% vs 4.5%), anemia (16.7% vs 9.1%) and intrauterine death (9.3% vs 0%). Perinatal complications were also higher like fetal distress (33.3% vs 13.6%) and low birth weight (16.7% vs 4.5%).Incidence of caesarean section was higher in hypothyroid women in comparison to control group (29.2% vs 19.2%).Conclusions: This study shows that there is an association between inadequately treated hypothyroidism and adverse maternal and perinatal outcome. Those who were detected early and adequately treated had outcome similar to control group.

Abstract Background Antenatal care (ANC) played a crucial role in ensuring maternal and child safety and reducing the risk of complications, disability, and death in mothers and their infants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the current status of ANC emphasizing the number, timing, and content of examinations on a national scale. Methods The data was collected from maternal and newborn’s health monitoring system at 8 provinces in China. After ethical approval, all pregnant women registered in the system at their first prenatal care visit, we included 49,084 pregnant women who had delivered between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Descriptive statistics of all study variables were calculated proportions and chi-square for categorical variables. Results Of the 49,084 women included in this study, the mean number of ANC visits was 6.95 ± 3.45. By percentage, 78.79% women received ANC examinations at least five times, 39.93% of the women received ANC examinations at least eight times and 16.66% of the women received ANC examinations at least 11 times. The proportion of first ANC examination in first trimester was 61.87%. The percentage of normative ANC examinations and the percentage of qualified ANC examinations were 30.98 and 8.03% respectively. Only 49.40% of the total women received all six kinds of examination items in first ANC examination: 91.47% received a blood test, 91.62% received a urine test, 81.56% received a liver function examination, 80.52% received a renal function examination, 79.07% received a blood glucose test, and 86.66% received a HIV/HBV/syphilis tests. 50.85% women received the first ANC examination in maternal and child health care (MCH) institutions, 14.07% in a general hospital, 18.83% in a township hospital, 13.15% in a community health services center, and 3.08% in an unspecified place. The proportion of women who received each of the ANC examination items in community health services center was the highest, but that in the MCH institutions was the lowest. Conclusions There is a big difference between the results of this study and the data in official reports, this study found the current status of antenatal care is not optimal in China, findings from this study suggest that the systematization, continuity and quality of ANC examinations need to be improved.

The objective: A study of features of the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in women with thyroid dysfunction. Analysis of the risk prediction of gestational and perinatal complications, depending on the level of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (AB-TPO). Patients and methods. A retrospective study of 526 histories and stories birth of generations of women-carriers of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase and 489 of their newborns The group of comparison was formed of 40 stories birth somatically healthy women without the elevated levels of AB-TPO and 40 stories of their newborns. The analysis of the course of pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, evaluation of risk prediction of gestational and perinatal complications, depending on the level of AB-TPO. Results. Established that women carriers of AB-TPO age has the older category; among extragenital diseases most often identified diseases of otolaryngology and neurocirculatory dystonia. Obstetric anamnesis burdened by the pregnancy miscarriage and perinatal losses. In the structure of gestational and perinatal complications, the principal place is the threatened miscarriage, preeclampsia, fetal distress, asphyxia of newborns. Discovered the effect of the starting threshold level of AB-TPO on the risk of occurrence impendence interruption of pregnancy (AB-TPO=315 IU/ml); the risk of miscarriage (AB-TPO=339.8 IU/ml); the risk of fetal distress (AB-TPO = of 247.5 IU/ml); the risk of neonatal asphyxia (AB-TPO=234.8 IU/ml). Didn’t discovere influence of starting threshold level of AB-TPO on the risk of preeclampsia and pathological birht. Conclusion. Women carriers of the AB-TPO constitute a group of high risk of obstetric and perinatal pathology. Discovered the influence of the starting threshold level of AB-TPO on the risk of gestational complications. Key words: pregnancy, level of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, miscarriage, gestational and perinatal complications.
