Introduction: The article presents information about the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a syphilitic infection in the anamnesis. The peculiarities of the state of newborn babies born from mothers who have suffered syphilis are described. To date, the incidence of syphilis in Ukraine has a clear tendency to decline, but still remains quite high. The maximum incidence of syphilis is observed in women aged 15-20 years. The combination of pregnancy and syphilitic infection in an anamnesis is an unfavorable factor in regard to high risk of perinatal complications, the frequency of which does not tend to decrease. The aim - study the features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a syphilitic infection in the anamnesis, the evaluation of the state of newborns. Materials and methods: A prospective examination of 57 healthy women and their newborns (control group) and 60 pregnant women with a history of syphilitic infection (the main group) had been conducted. All pregnant women had undergone ultrasound examination, including feto- and placentometry, an estimate of the amount of amniotic fluid. The effect of the transferred syphilis on the state of the newborn had been assessed in accordance with the results of the clinical examination of an anthropometric data, including an Apgar score. Results: It is stated that the incidence of latent (41,66%) and forms with a prolonged course (20,00%) of syphilitic infection. The threat of premature childbirth was almost 3,5 times higher than in women with syphilis, cases of an anemia in pregnant women – 2 times, hypertensive disorders of pregnant women were 2,4 times more common in women of the main group, fetal development retardation syndrome 6,4 times, while a greater percentage of this disorder was recorded among women in the main group who were ill with latent forms and suffered secondary recurrent syphilis (35%). In 20% of the cases, pregnancy in women with syphilis has been completed by the cesarean section, an abnormality of the contractile capacity of the uterus was significantly higher – 23,33%. The adaptive capacity of the newborns in the main group has been significantly lower, compared to the control group. Conclusions: Syphilitic infection in the anamnesis complicates the course of pregnancy with numerous pathological conditions. Syphilitic infection, borne before pregnancy, affects not only the course of pregnancy, but also the course of childbirth and the postpartum period. The pathological conditions in infants are due to a decrease in resistance to birth stress, early depletion of adaptive resources of newborns under the influence of a syphilitic infection of the mother. In children who have experienced chronic intrauterine hypoxia, the risk of hemorrhagic syndrome is significantly higher due to increased permeability of the vascular wall. Such children have a tendency to develop neurological disorders and respiratory system lesions.

Hypothesis/aims of study. The problem of vaginal infections during pregnancy is of high importance in obstetric practice. To predict the risks and reduce the frequency of pregnancy and childbirth complications, it is necessary to dynamically assess the vaginal microflora and treat its disorders. The aim of the study was to investigate the vaginal microflora and evaluate the effectiveness of treating vaginal infections in pregnant women with a history of miscarriage. Study design, materials and methods. The study included 153 pregnant women in the first trimester. The main group (group I) consisted of 99 women with a history of miscarriage, 35 of whom had signs of threatened abortion (subgroup IA) and 64 did not (subgroup IB). The control group (group II) comprised 54 women without a history of miscarriage and signs of threatened abortion. The vaginal microflora was examined using microscopic, bacteriological and quantitative real-time PCR methods. All patients with an established vaginal infection (bacterial vaginosis, aerobic vaginitis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis) received etiotropic therapy, depending on the microorganisms identified and their sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs. After treatment, in order to assess the effectiveness of the therapy, the vaginal microflora was examined in the second trimester and the outcomes and complications of present pregnancy were evaluated. Results. In women of subgroup IA, vulvovaginitis and bacterial vaginosis were detected 3.5 times more often compared to the control group, and 1.6 times more often compared to subgroup IB (66% and 19%, respectively, p 0.001; 66% and 42%, respectively, p 0.05). Aerobic vaginitis was the most frequent vaginal infection in the first trimester of pregnancy in women of the main group (p 0.05). After treatment, the frequency of the vaginal infections in the second trimester in women of the main group significantly decreased: by 1.9 times in subgroup IA and by 1.5 times in subgroup IB (p 0.05). There were no significant differences in the frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with bacterial vaginosis or vulvovaginitis as compared to women with normal vaginal microflora. Nevertheless, pregnancy and childbirth complications were diagnosed 4 times more frequently in the main group (23% and 6%, respectively, p 0.05), with the complications occurring significantly more often in the cases of vulvovaginitis or bacterial vaginosis and signs of threatened abortion in the first trimester (p 0.05). Conclusion. Etiotropic therapy of vaginal infections diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy in women with a history of miscarriage was highly effective. In 40% of women, vaginal microbiocenosis normalized, and the clinical symptoms of vaginosis/vaginitis disappeared. Differences in the frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with vulvovaginitis or bacterial vaginosis in the first trimester and in women with normal vaginal microbiocenosis were not significant. However, the treatment of vaginal infections in the group of pregnant women with a history of miscarriage did not significantly affect the frequency of pregnancy and childbirth complications.

The article represents the results of a prospective clinical and paraclinical examination of women with a history of infertility, pregnancy in which occurred as a result of the assisted reproductive technologies application. The objective: was to study the dynamics of pregnancy features of the psycho - emotional state and the concentration of stress-associated hormones in the serum of pregnant women after the application of assisted reproductive technologies in order to improve the tactics of antenatal care and prevention of obstetric and perinatal complications. Materials and methods. The main group consisted of 80 pregnant women with endocrine infertility, in which pregnancy occurred as a result of therapeutic cycles of ART, control – 50 first-pregnant women with spontaneous fertilization, taken in an arbitrary order of clinical, statistical and laboratory and instrumental studies. In pregnant women of the study groups, in order to determine the psycho emotional state in the screening mode, a clinical interview was conducted by filling out questionnaires that contained the Spilberger test questions in modification of Y.L. Hanina and «Test of relationof pregnant» by the method of I.V. Dobryakova. In the dynamics of pregnancy, the concentration of prolactin (PRL) and cortisol (K) was determined by the enzyme immunoassay on the Reader-MSR-1000 apparatus using test systems manufactured by Hema-Medicament (Russia). Results. Pregnant women with infertility in past history were characterized by a state of chronic stress. According to the results of the Spielberger test in modification Y .L. Hanina every second pregnant of main group had a high level of reactive and every fourth personal anxiety. Almost 90.0% of pregnant women after art are characterized by the presence of pathological PKGD, among which an alarming and depressive type was registered in every sixth and twelfth pregnant woman, respectively. The obtained data are confirmed by the results of the study of the level of K and PRL. For women with a history of infertility and pregnancy, which is the result of therapeutic cycles of ART, inherent in increasing concentrations of stress-associated hormones – cortisol and prolactin, which is one of the reasons for the complicated course of pregnancy and requires reasonable pathogenetic correction. Conclusion. For women who are pregnant as a result of the use of therapeutic cycles of art characterized by a high level of personal and reactive anxiety and PKGD, which confirm the presence of neuropsychiatric and afferent disorders. Increasing the concentration of stress-associated hormones is one of the causes of complicated pregnancy and requires a reasonable pathogenetic correction. Key words: pregnancy, infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, psychological status, cortisol, prolactin.

The objective: to study the features of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, fetal status and newborns in patients with a history of chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Materials and methods. Conducted a retrospective study of 150 birth histories and neonatal development maps. All patients were divided into two groups. The main group includes 100 patients with chronic salpingo-оophoritis, for which they received anti-inflammatory treatment from 1 to 3 times before pregnancy. The control group included 50 pregnant women who did not suffer from chronic salpingo-оophoritis.Results. Our analysis of pregnancy, childbirth, fetal and neonatal status in women with chronic salpingo-оophoritis indicates that such patients have a complicated obstetric and gynecological and somatic history, which forms an unfavorable basic condition of organs and systems, imperfect adaptation to pregnancy, high risk of failure of adaptive reactions. The result is a violation of the formation and development of the mother-placenta-fetus system and, as a consequence, a high level of complications during pregnancy, childbirth and perinatal pathology.Conclusion. Patients suffering from chronic salpingo-oophoritis should be considered at high risk of possible complications during pregnancy and childbirth. This category of women needs quality preconception training and careful monitoring during pregnancy.

Psychological problems during pregnancy and childbirth for today is a little studied subject of modern obstetrics. The possibilities for solving psychological problems that arise in cases of emergency obstetric situations are almost not used by Ukrainian specialists through the marriage of knowledge and skills to provide crisis psychological help to obstetric patients. The objective: to determine the level of psychoemotional load in pregnant and parturient women, depending on the category of urgency of cesarean section. Material and methods. The main group of the study was presented: 1 group - pregnant women, who had planned a cesarean section operation according to the ІV category of urgency and who had already had a caesarean section in the anamnesis; ІІ group – pregnant women who planned an operation according to the IV category of urgency and who had no previous caesarean section in their history; ІІІ group – pregnant and parturient women who underwent surgery, respectively, in the I–III category of urgency; Control group – 30 pregnant women in the period of 37–41 weeks of pregnancy. A survey was conducted using the questionnaires of J.Teylor, Ch.Spielberger and SAN-test. Results. On the eve of labor in pregnant women there is an increase in the psychoemotional load, which can be determined using the above questionnaires. There is a direct dependence on the category of urgency of cesarean section and the level of psychoemotional load. Also revealed the correlation dependence of the voltage of the adaptation reserves of the pregnant woman on the presence of a history of caesarean section. Conclusion. Almost 50 percent of pregnant women, in cases of cesarean section, respectively, 1–3 categories of urgency in the preoperative period have the maximum level of psychoemotional load according to the questionnaires used. Pregnant women who have undergone a caesarean section in anamnesis are more adapted and have less psycho-emotional stress than women who have a cesarean section for the first time. Key words: cesarean section, psychoemotional state, pregnancy, childbirth, scale J. Teylor, scale Ch. Spielberger, SAN-test.

To determine the level of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes in pregnant women with the threat of termination of pregnancy at 5-12 weeks and recurrent miscarriage in history and compare the data obtained with the end of gestation. A survey of 65 women at a gestational age of 5-12 weeks was carried out. The main group consisted of 33 women with a threatening recurrent miscarriage at the time of the examination, the comparison group consisted of 10 pre-pregnant women with a threatening sporadic miscarriage at the time of the examination, the control group consisted of 22 pregnant women without signs of a threatening miscarriage. The main group, depending on the outcomes of pregnancy, is divided into 2 subgroups: subgroup A - pregnancy ended in undeveloped pregnancy or miscarriage (9 women), subgroup B - pregnancy ended in childbirth (24 women). The relative content of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry on FACSCanto II (Becton Dickinson, USA). Women in the main group had a significantly lower level of CD20 + IL-10 + B-lymphocytes in comparison with the rest of the surveyed. A retrospective analysis revealed that among women of subgroup A there was a sharp decrease in CD20 + IL-10 + cells compared with subgroup B. Prediction of a non-developing pregnancy and spontaneous miscarriage up to 22 weeks of gestation in pregnant women with threatened spontaneous miscarriage and a history of recurrent miscarriage is possible with the relative content of CD20 + IL-10 + equal to or less than 4.5% (sensitivity 100%, specificity 82.6%, accuracy 87.9%).

BACKGROUND:The frequency of recurrent miscarriage is up to 5 % of all desired pregnancies and is mainly due to immunological disorders. Dysfunction in the regulation of the functional activity of B lymphocytes is the pathogenetic link in multiple obstetric complications, including habitual miscarriage. AIM:The aim of this study was to characterize the regulation of the functional activity of peripheral B lymphocytes in pregnant women with threatened spontaneous miscarriage and a history of habitual miscarriage. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We examined 88 women aged 18-40 years at a gestation period of 5-12 weeks. The main group consisted of 36 patients with threatened spontaneous miscarriage at the time of examination and a history of habitual miscarriage. The control group included 28 women with uncomplicated pregnancy. The comparison group consisted of 24 primary pregnant patients with threatened spontaneous abortion at the time of examination. BAFF and APRIL levels in the blood serum were determined by enzyme immunoassay. The content of CD19+BAFFR+B lymphocytes in the lymphocyte gate was evaluated in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies. Akt mRNA expression was assessed using real-time reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. CD19+В lymphocytes were isolated by direct magnetic separation. RESULTS:In the main group, there was an increase in expression of BAFF receptors on peripheral CD19+B lymphocytes and a decrease in the serum BAFF concentration compared to the parameters in the other study groups. We also found a pronounced trend towards a decrease in the serum APRIL level in the main and comparison groups of patients compared to healthy pregnant women. Besides, Akt mRNA expression in peripheral CD19+B lymphocytes was increased in the main group. CONCLUSIONS:Threatened habitual abortion is associated with the deficit of the regulatory influence of BAFF and APRIL, which is expressed in the disruption of B cell homeostasis and the weakening of humoral effector mechanisms.

The objective: to study the features of the endocrinological status and the fetoplacental complex in pregnant women with adenomyosis, the course of pregnancy and childbirth in these women, to develop new, systematize and improve the existing methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of complications and reproductive losses. Materials and methods. We examined 90 pregnant women who were divided into groups: 30 healthy women – control group, a comparison group of 30 women with adenomyosis receiving classic progesterone therapy and the main group of 30 women with adenomatosis who received advanced preserving, metabolic therapy and diet therapy. The condition of the feto-placental complex, the frequency of IUGR, hemodynamic disturbances on the part of the fetus, and the level of estriol, progesterone, cortisol, chronic gonadotropin (CGL), placental lactogen were evaluated. Results. The main complication in pregnant women with adenomyosis was placental dysfunction (the comparison group was 60.0% and the main group was 33.3%), whose structure was performed by compensated (58.2%) and subcompensated forms (35.8%). The frequency of preterm labor threat was 20.0% in comparison group and 13.3% in main one, while in the control group – 1 case, which is 3.3%. Frequency of SCR was in the comparison group – 20.0% and in the main – 3.3%. Low levels of estriol, progesterone, HHG, placental lactogen, increased cortisol levels in comparison and main groups were determined, and after treatment the indicators of the main group significantly improved. Conclusions. With timely correction of violations, prevention of fetoplacental insufficiency and complex treatment with the use of advanced classical progesterone therapy in combination with metabolic and diet therapy we can significantly reduce the frequency of various complications in pregnant women with adenomyosis. Key words: adenomyosis, pregnancy, non-pregnancy, diet therapy, metabolic therapy, preservation therapy, preventive care.

The objective: was to evaluate the course of pregnancy, childbirth and perinatal outcomes of delivery of women with threatened interruption of pregnancy (TIP), living in the Lugansk region, to improve treatment and preventive measures and prevent obstetric and perinatal complications in such women. Materials and methods. A prospective clinical and statistical analysis of the course of pregnancy and childbirth of 86 pregnant women in first and second trimesters of pregnancy were hospitalized regarding TIP in the hospitals located in the Luhansk region was performed (group I). The control group consisted of 64 pregnant women with non-complicated obstetric anamnesis and physiological course of pregnancy with similar gestational period of pregnancy and place of residence (group II). Results. In women of group I, a history of female genital inflammatory diseases was significantly more frequent, and a complicated course of pregnancy and childbirth was registered. The number of cases of acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) was in 4, isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICI) was in 3 times more often than in healthy pregnant women, asymptomatic bacteriuria, recurring TIP, gestational pyelonephritis and ureaplasma infection were found only in pregnant women of group I, the number of cases of anemia there was no significant difference. 13 (15.12%) of women of group I and 3 (4.69%) of group II (p=0.041) had spontaneous preterm birth at 33–37 weeks of gestation; operative delivery was registered in 23 (26.74%) and 8 (12.50%) cases, respectively (p=0.033). It was established that recurrent TIP, ARVI during this pregnancy, ICI, gestational pyelonephritis are statistically significant risk factors for preterm delivery and operative delivery. Premature rupture of the membranes was found in 1.58, weakness of labor – in 2.2, premature detachment of a normally located placenta – in 6, fetal distress – in 1.9 times more often in women of group I, central placenta previa was noted only in group I. Conclusions. The complicated course of the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, in particular, recurrent TIP, ARVI during this pregnancy, ICI, gestational pyelonephritis, had a direct effect on frequency increase of premature termination of pregnancy and operative delivery in patients of the main group compared with women of the control group. The presence of a history of chronic female genital inflammatory diseases, sexually transmitted infections, ARVI during this pregnancy, TIP in the first and second trimesters, allows pregnant women to be at high risk of developing gestational complications in order to conduct timely treatment. Key words: pregnancy, the threat of abortion, childbirth, the condition of newborns.

The issue of preserving the reproductive health of women for many years does not lose its relevance. Fundamental studies of recent decades have made it possible to determine the basic mechanisms of functioning of the female reproductive system, but studies of the characteristics of pregnancy, complications in childbirth and the condition of newborn children in women with menstrual dysfunction in the puberty remain single.The objective: аccording to laboratory and instrumental methods of research, to study the characteristics of childbirth and the condition of newborns in women with menstrual dysfunction in the puberty.Materials and methods. According to the nature of the disorders, the main group of pregnant women (n=120) who had a menstrual pathology in the puberty were divided into 3 subgroups (n=40): the first – pregnant women with primary oligomenorrhea in the anamnesis, the second – with a late age menarche, the third – with puberty bleeding. The control group included pregnant women (n=40) with the correct rhythm of menstruation in puberty.Results. During the clinical study, significant differences in the biological readiness of the body for childbirth in all subgroups of the main group of pregnant women were noted compared with the control group. In 35 (29,2%) pregnant women with menstrual dysfunction during the puberty, an «unripe» or insufficiently «mature» cervix was observed in the expected period of labor, which was important in the violation of labor activity during spontaneous labor in the occipital presentation and an increase in the frequency of delivery using cesarean section (CS) operation. Caesarean section was performed in 51 (42,5%) pregnant women of the main group: planned CS in 39 (32,5%), urgent delivery in 12 (10,0%). In the group of pregnant women with the correct rhythm of menstruation, spontaneous delivery occurred in 37 (92,5%) women, planned CS due to the narrowed pelvis and large fetus in 2 (5,0%), emergency CS – 1 (2,5%) case. The frequency of complications during childbirth (violation of labor, premature rupture of the membranes, bleeding) in the main group is 4 times higher than in the control group (p<0,001), in a comparative aspect, the differences between the subgroups are not significant. 95,2% of newborns from mothers with menstrual dysfunction in the puberty were born in a satisfactory condition. The Apgar score is significantly higher in newborns from mothers receiving pregravid preparation. The frequency of individual conditions that occur in the perinatal period is the highest in newborns from mothers with a history of primary oligomenorrhea.Conclusion. The results of the studies confirm the presence of the biological unpreparedness of the body for the normal course of labor in women with menstrual dysfunction in the puberty, as evidenced by violations of labor, the main predictor of which is placental dysfunction. The frequency of individual conditions that occur in the perinatal period is significantly higher than in newborns from mothers who had the correct rhythm of menstruation. It is possible to reduce the frequency of obstetric and perinatal complications in women with reduced reproductive potential by optimizing the pregravid preparation program and introducing a scientifically based complex of treatment and preventive measures.

The article presents the investigation results of the vaginal biotope of pregnant women with incompetence of cervix obstructive function. The frequency growth of this complication in nulliparous women, the absence of significant differences in pregnancy outcomes without regard to the correction methods, the increase of number of obstructed and pathological labors among these women, were the basis for the factors analysis that deteriorate the prognosis for the mother and fetus. The vaginal microbiocenosis pathology plays one of the leading roles in the premature birth development) in women with incompetence of cervix obstructive function. The objective: to study the vaginal biotope in pregnants with incompetence of cervix obstructive function in order to improve the antenatal care tactics and increase the effectiveness of non-surgical treatment modality of this pathology. Patients and methods. 63 pregnants at term 22–32 weeks who had been treated at the department of pathology of pregnancy and childbirth of SE «IPAH NAMS of Ukraine» with the verified incompetence of cervix obstructive function (main group) were examined. The control group was formed by 34 pregnants with physiological state of cervix obstructive function. Results. The predominance of alkaline or slightly alkaline vaginal biotope’s reaction expressed leukocyte reaction, high desquamated epithelium content and a sharp decline in the numbers of Lactobacillus spp. at the background of mostly associated coccal microflora, Gram-negative microorganisms and Candida albicans fungi is typical for the main group of pregnants. The association of anaerobic microorganisms from bacterial-viral and bacterial-chlamydial urogenetal infections is typical for every third main group of pregnant women. Conclusion. The pathogenetically justified antibiotic therapy with a long-term correction of vaginal microbiocenosis dysbiotic disorders before the introduction of the perforated silicone cervical pessary provides the absence of discomfort which is associated with vaginal secret overproduction and allows stabilizing the leukocyte vagina microbiocenosis reaction within the physiological one and reducing the risk of preterm labor in these pregnants. Key words: the incompetence of cervix obstructive function, cervix, microbiocenosis, pregnancy, miscarriage.
