Endometrioid disease today is ranking one of the leading positions in the structure of gynaecological diseases. The prevalence of this endometrioid disease reaches 10% among the female population and up to 70% among women of child-bearing age. Ambiguity in terms of the aetiology, pathogenesis, and predictors of the disease impedes the accurate and quick diagnosis and proper management of this disease. The aim of this study is to analyze and to compare symptomatic and anamnestic data presented by women who have with endometrioid disease and have no it, and to identify and analyze predictors and consequences of endometrioid disease. The study examined 80 women of reproductive age. The main group involved 50 women with endometrioid disease; the control group included 30 women without signs of endometrioid disease. All participants underwent clinical examination and were interviewed about symptoms, family history, menstrual function, past gynaecological, reproductive, infectious (infectious diseases, transferred in childhood), somatic diseases. The information about the presence of psychological and physical overstrain in women of both groups was obtained (subjectively from the words of women) and then assessed. Contributory factors or predictors in the development and progression of endometrioid disease are as follows: an increased number of occupational hazards (22.6% versus 0%, respectively, p = 0.03) among working women with endometrioid disease; regular psychological overstrain, which can result from endometrioid disease on the one hand, and, contribute to its progression, on the other (70% versus 43.3%; p = 0.03); the presence of the 0 blood type (40% versus 16.7%; p = 0.029), the presence of chronic inflammation of the uterine appendages in the past (60% versus 36.6%; p = 0.04); human papilloma virus in past or present medical history (14% versus 0%; p = 0.04). The possible consequences of endometrioid disease include somatic pathology prevailing in 1.3 times. Special attention should be paid to the average number of gastro-intestinal diseases in the women of main and control groups: 1.34 ± 1.3 versus 0.77 ± 1.1, respectively; p = 0.04. The prevalence of diseases of urinary system is as follows: 0.66 ± 0.68 versus 0.33 ± 0.54, respectively; p = 0.04. The menstruations are described as irregular, heaving bleedings often with dark brown discharge before menstruation, pain during menstruation. The study revealed a large percentage of infertility in patients with endometrioid disease (60% versus 33.3%, respectively; p = 0.02), reduced reproductive potential in general (the average number of pregnancies per woman in the control group is 1.9 times higher). It should be noted that 14 (28%) women of the main group have relapse of endometrioid disease in the form of repeated cysts after conservative and / or surgical treatment. Thus, endometrioid disease was detected for the first time in 36 (72%) women of the main group. The information obtained in the study can be helpful for medical practitioners as it deepens knowledge about possible predictor factors, premorbid background and the consequences of endometrioid disease, and, thus, will serve in customized management of such patients.

Cervical cancer is one of the widespread diseases that have a negative impact on the reproductive health. However, medical-social risk factors which provoke this pathology aren't studied sufficiently yet. We have identified the most significant medical-social risk factors of cervical cancer's development and progression based on data analysis of a sociological study. Thus, it was found that cervical cancer can't be associated with predominantly late reproductive age of women in conditions of the Republic of Belarus: most of the patients with this pathology (more than 53%) were under the age of 35 years old. The group of patients suffered from cervical cancer was quite homogeneous in their social status, which was average and relatively stable in a large majority of them (more than 90%), despite employment in various sectors of the national economy. Social functioning of these patients wasn't significantly different from the main population of women in reproductive age. Thus, early sexual activity and random early sexual relations weren't characteristic for the majority of them: 86.1±4.46% (the control group – 87.3±5.51%, the comparison group – 78.2±3.96%) and 83.5±4.72% (the control group – 89.1±4.28%, the comparison group – 75.2±2.36%). Moreover, the married patients of the main group had the most ordered sexual behavior (p<0.01; tau=0.572) which determined the low prevalence of artificial abortions among them, including menstrual cycle regulation (less than 8%). However, the revealed different defects of health-saving behavior in the main group of patients (more than 70%), including an insufficient level of valeological knowledge, the presence of common harmful habits and low medical activity, indicate that there are significant reserves for improvement of the preventive activities of medical stuff in the field of primary medical care for the development of a healthy lifestyle among female population of reproductive age and providing clinical examination among this contingent of females in reproductive age with the purpose of cervical cancer prevention.

The objective: the study of immunomodulatory effects of a probiotic, which contains lyophilized Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) – 13 mg (2,0ґ109 CFU) and lyophilized bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis) – 4 mg (2,0ґ109 CFU) the level of serum immunoglobulin IgA as a marker of local immunity in the plasma of women of reproductive age with the violation of the biocenosis of the vagina. Patients and methods. The study involved 86 patients of reproductive age with the violation of the vaginal biocenosis, which were divided into two groups according to received treatment. A survey was conducted for all patients in both groups: determine the level of serum IgA, measuring pH of vaginal environment and the quantification of lactobacilli and pathogenic flora with the help of test-system «Florotsenoz» before treatment and in 6 weeks after treatment. The state of vaginal microbiocenosis in both groups before treatment was homogeneous. Patients in both groups as therapy at the first stage of treatment received, if necessary antimicrobial therapy depending on the selected flora. In the second stage (restoration of microflora) patient of the main group received systemic probiotic combined with a complex prebiotic local action, patients in the control group, the probiotic localy in the form of the vaginal candles or tablets. Results. The research stated the increasing level of serum IgA in blood plasma of patients of the main group compared to control group at 20%, normalizing the pH of the vaginal environment in the main group in 94% of cases, which indicates an increase of immunity in mucosal. Conclusion. The inclusion of the systemic probiotic in the scheme of treatment of disorders of biocenosis of the vagina system enhances the increasing of immunity of the mucous membranes, and the vaginal tablets prebiotic of local action restores the own normal microflora of the vagina. Key words: serum immunoglobulin A, local immunity, vaginal dysbiosis, probiotics, prebiotics, vaginal microbiocenosis, the pH of the vaginal environment.

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.

Background. There are not enough publications devoted to the study of erythropoietin in human sperm. According to the results of these studies, the erythropoietin takes part in the regulation of spermatogenesis, affecting the synthesis of hormones, in particular steroid ones. Currently, the physiological and pathogenetic effects of erythropoietin on human ejaculate have not been thoroughly studied. In this regard, the study of this protein in the ejaculate in patients with diseases of the male reproductive system, as well as in their absence, is relevant.The study objective is to determine the concentration of erythropoietin in ejaculate samples of healthy and men with oligoastenozoospermia.Materials and methods. Samples of ejaculate of 52 men of reproductive age were examined. The ejaculate was examined using the SQA-V sperm analyzer (MES, Israel). According to the results of the study, two groups were identified: the main group (n = 18) with reduced fertility and the control group (n = 34) with normal spermogram indicators. In seminal plasma samples, the concentration of erythropoietin was determined by solid-phase enzyme immunoassay using the test system “Erythropoietin-IFA-BEST” (A-8776) (Vector-best LLC, Russia).Results. Erythropoietin was detected in all ejaculate samples, the results ranged from 9.37 to 193.95 mME / ml and varied 20.7 times (p = 0.3). The median concentration in the main group was 64.49 mME / ml (41.96; 118.16 mME / ml) and 1.36 times higher than the results of the comparison group, which were 47.16 mME / ml (18.15; 90.94 mME / ml). No statistically significant regularities were found between the concentration of erythropoietin and the indicators of ejaculate fertility (r <|0,3|).Conclusion. In oligoastenozoospermia, there is a tendency to increase the content of erythropoietin in the seminal plasma, which requires further research, taking into account a more detailed stratification of the groups examined for reasons that caused a decrease in the number of spermatozoa.

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.

Introduction. So far, surgical soft tissue infection accounts for more than half of all cases seeking specialized medical attendance, and its treatment is sometimes rather difficult. The purpose of the work is to study the results of carboxy-lymphotropic therapy while treating patients with surgical soft tissue infection of the lower extremities. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled 57 patients with manifestations of surgical soft tissue infection of the lower extremities. Criteria for enrollment: patients aged 18 to 75, lack of decompensation for concomitant somatic diseases, and lack of systemic inflammatory response. Withdrawal criteria: patients with diabetes mellitus, cancer, decompensation for concomitant somatic diseases, immunodeficiency states (HIV infection, primary immunodeficiency), injecting drug use, pregnancy and lactation. All patients were divided into two groups: the main group and the control group. The main group included 29 patients who underwent carboxy-lymphotropic therapy. Patients of the control group (n=28) were treated according to the standard protocol. Patients of both groups were examined identically. The examination included the study of the wound fluid pH, bacteriological examination of the wound fluid with antibiotic sensitivity test, cytological screening and the study of the microcirculation in the affected area with a laser analyzer «LAKK – M». Results. Carboxy-lymphotropic therapy as the main treatment method allowed to reduce the duration of patients’ treatment and to accelerate the phase change in the wound process. It was proven both experimentally and clinically. Conclusion. Carboxy-lymphotropic therapy significantly improves treatment outcomes in patients with surgical soft tissue infection of the lower extremities. For patients with microcirculation disorders in the affected area, the described method should be mandatory. Keywords: surgical infection, soft tissues, carboxytherapy, lymphotropic therapy. До настоящего времени хирургические инфекции мягких тканей остаются той областью хирургии, на которую приходится более половины случаев обращения за специализированной медицинской помощью, а ее лечение представляет порой существенные трудности. Цель работы – изучить результаты применения карбокси-лимфотропной терапии при лечении пациентов с хирургической инфекцией мягких тканей нижних конечностей. Материалы и методы. Обследованы 57 пациентов с проявлениями хирургической инфекции мягких тканей нижних конечностей. Критерии включения в исследование: возраст пациентов от 18 до 75 лет, отсутствие декомпенсации по сопутствующим соматическим заболеваниям, отсутствие системной воспалительной реакции. Критерии исключения: наличие у пациентов сахарного диабета, онкологических заболеваний, декомпенсация по сопутствующим соматическим заболеваниям, иммунодефицитные состояния (ВИЧ-инфекция, первичный иммунодефицит), инъекционная наркомания, период беременности и лактации. Все пациенты были разделены на две группы – основную и контрольную. В основную вошли 29 пациентов, лечение которых осуществлялось с применением карбокси-лимфотропной терапии. Лечение 28 пациентов контрольной группы проводилось по стандартной схеме. Подход к обследованию пациентов обеих групп был одинаковым и включал в себя исследование рН раневого отделяемого, бактериологическое исследование раневого отделяемого с определением чувствительности выделенных микроорганизмов к антибиотикам, цитологическое исследование и исследование микроциркуляции зоны поражения с помощью лазерного анализатора «ЛАКК-М». Результаты. Применение карбокси-лимфотропной терапии в качестве основного метода лечения позволило сократить время пребывания пациентов на лечении, ускорить смену фаз раневого процесса, что было доказано с помощью ряда лабораторных методов, а также клинически. Выводы. Карбокси-лимфотропная терапия достоверно улучшает результаты лечения пациентов с хирургической инфекцией мягких тканей нижних конечностей. Для категории больных с нарушением микроциркуляции в зоне поражения данный способ должен являться методом выбора. Ключевые слова: хирургическая инфекция, мягкие ткани, карбокситерапия, лимфотропная терапия.

The objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of women with various dysbiotic vaginal conditions with Limenda. Materials and methods. 58 women of reproductive age with BV and mixed nonspecific vaginitis participated in the study. The main group included 30 women, whose treatment was carried out with Limenda drug. The control group consisted of 28 women, whose treatment was performed according to the standard scheme using a combination of drugs. Results. Based on the results of control tests, complete elimination of pathogens occurred in 29 (96.67%) patients of the main group and in 26 (92.86%) patients of the control group. Five days after the treatment, all 30 (100%) women in the main group noted complete disappearance of symptoms on the control visit, and 2 (7.14%) of the control group complained of minor discomfort in the vagina, which required continued treatment. The conclusion. For the treatment of nonspecific vaginitis and bacterial vaginosis, especially chronic and often recurrent forms, it is better to use combined local remedies. The results of this study reliably testify to the high effectiveness of the combined drug Limenda compared with standard treatment regimens. Key words: vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, vaginal biocenosis, conditional resistance, metronidazole, miconazole, Limenda.

Background. Osteopathic methods are used in practical medicine, but there is little scientific research in this area, especially in the treatment of somatic diseases. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathy in the complex therapy of patients with chronic stone-free cholecystitis from the point of view of evidence-based medicine. Methods. The study involved 114 patients who were divided into two groups, the control group and the main group, in which osteopathic procedures were applied. The functions of the gallbladder, bile and blood biochemistry, and cholecystokinin secretion were analyzed. Results. It was found that osteopathic methods significantly increased the effectiveness of standard therapy both in terms of regression of clinical symptoms of the disease and in the functioning of the gallbladder. It is proved that the main group of patients significantly increases the secretion of cholecystokinin, which correlates with an improvement in the biochemistry of bile and its allocation. It was found that the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment methods does not depend on the gender of patients. Conclusion. The results of the study indicate a fairly pronounced therapeutic effect of osteopathic procedures in the complex therapy of patients with chronic stone-free cholecystitis. The increase in the secretion of cholecystokinin is difficult to explain from the point of view of correction of functional blocks, and this problem remains the subject of further research.

The objective: on the basis of a comprehensive examination of women of reproductive age to establish the frequency of phenotypes (clinical variants) of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Materials and methods. 34 patients (main group) who complained of menstrual disorders and/or dermatopathies by recommendation of a dermatologist were examined. The control group is represented by 30 women without gynecological and somatic pathology. The mean age of women in the main group was 26,4±0,9 years and 29,1±0,9 years in the control group (p>0,05). The age of women in the study groups ranged from 18 to 35 years. Patients underwent a comprehensive examination to assess the severity of hirsutism and the severity of acne, as well as the body mass index was determined. All women underwent ultrasound examination in the dynamics and quantitative assessment of the concentration of hormones in the blood plasma, namely cortisol, thyroid-stimulating hormone, prolactin, free testosterone and its index, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17-α-OH-progesterone, sex hormone binding globulin. Variation-statistical processing of the results was carried out using the program «STATISTICA 13».Results. The results of the conducted research show that 73,5% had menstrual irregularities, and 52,9% – infertility. Acne and hirsutism in every 3rd woman were combined and were diagnosed in 47,1% and 41,2% of women, respectively. Ultrasound signs of polycystic ovaries were found in 94,1% of patients according to the criteria for the diagnosis of PCOS, and in 88,2% – anovulation. According to the laboratory examination, hyperadrogenism was found in 55,9%, which is confirmed by statistically significant (p<0,05) predominance in the main group compared with the control group of androstenedione, free testosterone and its index. In addition, it should be noted statistically significant (p<0,05) higher levels of 17-α-OH-progesterone and prolactin in the main group, but their indicators were within the reference values of the norm. Analyzing the frequency of phenotypes (clinical variants) of PCOS, it was found that phenotype A (classical) occurred in 32,4%. Phenotype B (incomplete classical) was diagnosed in 14,7%, and phenotype C (ovulatory) – only 8,8%. The most often, namely in 15 (44,1%) women with PCOS, the phenotype D (non-androgenic) was established.Conclusions. The results of the conducted research show that in women with PCOS clinical symptoms are characterized by menstrual dysfunction (73,5%), infertility (52,9%) and dermatopathies, namely acne (47,1%) and hirsutism (41,2%). According to the laboratory exanination, hyperadrogenism was found in 55,9%, which is confirmed by statistically significant (p<0,05) predominance in the main group compared with the control group of androstenedione, free testosterone and its index. Among the clinical variants of PCOS, the non-androgenic phenotype (phenotype D) was the most often diagnosed, the frequency of it was 44,1%. Classical (phenotype A) and incomplete classical (phenotype B) were found in 32,4% and 14,7%, respectively. It should be noted that only 8,8% of women with PCOS are diagnosed with phenotype C (ovulatory).

The objective: a determination of anxiety and depression levels in patients in perimenopausal period with hyperplastic processes of the endometrium and myometrium.Materials and methods. 150 patients in the perimenopausal period were examined. The main group included 100 persons with hyperplastic process, the control group – 50 healthy women in perimenopausal period. We used the PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaires to study the level of anxiety and depression. In order to objectively assess the degree of anxiety and depressive symptoms, a questionnaire was conducted according to the Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression (HADS).Results. The analysis of data on the frequency of major types of extragenital pathology in the examined patients demonstrated that in the structure of extragenital pathology the following diseases dominated: varicose veins of the lower extremities – 61.0±4.9 %, arterial hypertension of 2–3 stages – 46.0±4.98 %; coronary heart disease, stenocardia – 8.0±2.7 %; obesity – 43.0±4.95 %, liver, gallbladder and pancreas pathologies – 42.0±4.93 %. In 78.0 % of patients, somatic pathology was represented by two or more diagnoses. The results of the survey demonstrated that in the main group 23.0 % of women had mild «subclinical» depression; 19.0 % – moderate, and 12.0 % – moderate depression. The women in the main group had the following psychoemotional disorders: the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion – 64.0±4.8 %, sleep disorders – 64.0±4.8 %, appetite problems – 46.0±4.98 %, depressed mood and low interest in ordinary affairs – 54.0±4.98 %, the difficulty concentrating – 33.0±4.7%, hypodynamia – 26.0±4.4 %. Four percent of patients intended to do something with themselves. Analysis of the results obtained using the HADS scale revealed that both anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients in the main group were more pronounced than in the control women.Conclusion. The identified psycho-emotional disorders are the result of adverse effects of somatic diseases and gynecological pathology. The results of the study indicate the need to correct psycho-emotional disorders and take them into account when choosing a method of treatment for such patients.
