Introduction. According to epidemiological observations, the level of congenital malformations in children is associated with the degree of chemical pollution of the environment and certain forms of genes of the I and II phases of the xenobiotic biotransformation system. The study aimed to determine and compare the index of anthropogenic load with the probability of occurrence of congenital malformations of the fetus in combination with gene polymorphisms of I and II phases of the xenobiotic biotransformation system in women living in different administrative territories in the South of Kuzbass. Material and methods. The level of air pollution in the cities of the South of the Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) was established. Prenatal screening of 1,426 pregnant women at the term of 15-18 weeks in the cities of the South of Kuzbass was carried out. The Real Time-PCR method was used to determine the gene polymorphism of the xenobiotic biotransformation system (CYP1A2, GSTM1) in 53 women of Novokuznetsk who gave birth to newborns with congenital malformations. Results. In the cities of the South of Kuzbass, with a critical and high degree of pollution of atmospheric air and waterways, many women are at risk of congenital malformations in offsprings. The A/A CYP1A2*1F genotype in combination with the deletion polymorphism of the GSTM1 gene in the mother is reliably associated with the occurrence of congenital malformations in offsprings (χ2 - 4.72; р - 0.030; OR - 5.56; CI - 1.05-29.32), and the C/ACYP1A2*1F genotype in combination with the normal functioning GSTM1 “+” gene is associated with resistance to the development of congenital malformations (χ2 - 12.53; p - <0.001; OR - 0.11; CI - 0.03-0.4 ). Conclusion. Against the background of an increasingly unfavourable ecological situation in Kuzbass and raising the number of newborns with congenital malformations, it is essential to include in the algorithm for early prenatal diagnosis the determination of the forms of genes of different phases of the xenobiotic metabolism system to elaborate an algorithm for reducing the xenobiotic load on the body of pregnant women during critical periods of fetal organogenesis.

Introduction. There is a number of polymorphic genes, the products of which take part in the biotransformation process and possess of the different activity. As a result of an imbalance in the processes of xenobiotic biotransformation, there is occurred an accumulation of toxic electrophilic compounds, the rise in a mutagenic activity, that can be very important in the formation of congenital malformations. Therefore, the study of the association of gene polymorphisms of the first and second phases of biotransformation with various congenital malformations is topical. The aim of the study. To investigate the role of the polymorphism of genes of the xenobiotic biotransformation system (CYP1A2*1F, GSTT1, GSTM1) encoding the enzymes I and II detoxification phases in women with the complicated obstetric history, residing in an industrial region. Material and methods. A survey of 53 women of reproductive age living in the territory of Novokuznetsk was carried out. The comparison group (the control) consisted of 27 women. These women did not have spontaneous miscarriages, and they carried the fetus to term without congenital malformations. The study group included 26 women who gave birth to babies with congenital malformations. Genomic DNA was isolated by the phenol-chloroform extraction method followed by the ethanol precipitation. The molecular and genetic analysis of the gene polymorphism of cytochrome 1A2 (CYP1A2), glutathione S-transferase τ-1 (GSTT1) and glutathione S-transferase μ-1 (GSTM1) was carried out using Real-Time mode. Results. A high risk of congenital fetal malformations in women with the A/A CYP1A2*1F genotype and resistance to these pathologies in the presence of a heterozygous form of the gene C/A CYP1A2*1F was revealed. The relationship between the high risk of stillbirth due to the placental insufficiency in women with deletion polymorphism of the gene GSTM1 “-”, while the normal functioning gene GSTM1 “+” was associated with the resistance to antenatal fetal death.

Intrauterine growth retardation is recognized as one of the leading causes of incidence and mortality in infancy and early childhood in all the countries of the world. The causes and mechanisms of development of this process are decisive when choosing the tactics of nursing such children. Of particular importance is the understanding of the functioning of the mother-placenta-fetus system, in particular the mechanisms of suppression of the detoxification function of the placenta in connection with the polymorphisms of the genes of the I and II phases of the xenobiotic biotransformation system. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the polymorphism of the genes of the I and II phases of the xenobiotic biotransformation system with the intrauterine fetal growth retardation in women living in the South of the Kemerovo region and working under harmful labor conditions. A survey of 39 women of reproductive age living in the territory of Novokuznetsk was carried out, 20 of them worked at various enterprises of the city. The study group included 14 women who gave birth to children with intrauterine growth retardation of varying severity. The comparison group (control) consisted of 25 women. They did not have spontaneous miscarriages and they carried a child without the intrauterine growth retardation. The work investigated the frequency of occurrence of polymorphisms of genes of the xenobiotic biotransformation system - CYP1A2*1F, GSTM1 (they determine the activity of detoxification enzymes), as well as their combinations - in a group of working women and housewives who gave birth to children with intrauterine growth retardation. The forms of genes associated with the intrauterine fetal growth retardation, as well as genes associated with the resistance to this pathology, were identified. Combinations of gene forms of different phases of the xenobiotic biotransformation and their relationship with intrauterine fetal growth retardation were shown. There were no statistically reliable differences between various cohorts of women. A positive association of a high risk of the intrauterine fetal growth retardation in women with A/A CYP1A2*1F genotype and deletion polymorphism of the GSTM1 "-" gene has been shown. The heterozygous form of the C/A CYP1A2*1F gene polymorphism is statistically reliably associated with the resistance to this pathology, as well as the normally functioning GSTM1 "+" gene. Genotype A/A CYP1A2*1F in the combination with the deletion polymorphism of GSTM1 "-" gene is statistically reliably associated with intrauterine fetal growth retardation, and C/A CYP1A2*1F genotype in the combination with normally functioning GSTM1 "+" gene is associated with a low risk of the intrauterine fetal growth retardation. Comparative analysis of the relationship of the studied forms of genes of the xenobiotic biotransformation system with the intrauterine fetal growth retardation in the groups of female workers and housewives did not show statistically reliable differences.

Studi memperkirakan emesis gravidarum terjadi pada 50-90% kehamilan. Mual muntah pada kehamilan memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi tubuh dimana ibu menjadi lemah, pucat dan cairan tubuh berkurang sehingga darah menjadi kental (hemokonsentrasi). Keadaan ini dapat memperlambat peredaran darah dan berakibat pada kurangnya suplay oksigen serta makanan ke jaringan sehingga dapat membahayakan kesehatan ibu dan janin. Salah satu terapi yang aman dan dapat dilakukan untuk mengurangi keluahan mual muntah pada ibu hamil adalah pemberian aromaterapi lemon. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas aroma terapi lemon untuk menangani emesis gravidarum. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan Quasi experiment  dengan  one group pre-post test design. Populasi penelitian adalah ibu hamil yang mengalami emesis gravidarum di Kecamatan Berbah, Sleman. Jumlah sampel 20 ibu hamil trimester pertama yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengukuran mual muntah dilakukan debelum dan setelah  pemberian aromaterapi lemon menggunakan Indeks Rhodes. Analisa data menggunakan uji Paired t-test. Hasil penelitian didapatkan rata-rata skor mual muntah sebelum pemberian aromaterapi lemon berdasarkan Indeks Rhodes pada Ibu Hamil dengan emesis gravidarum yaitu 22,1 dan terjadi penurunan skor setelah pemberian aromaterapi lemon menjadi 19,8. Ada pengaruh pemberian aromaterapi lemon dengan pengurangan mual muntah pada ibu hamil (p-value = 0.017). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan pemberian aromaterapi lemon efektif untuk mengurangi emesis gravidarum pada ibu hamil trimester pertama.  Kata kunci: aromaterapi lemon, emesis gravidarum THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEMON AROMATHERAPY FOR HANDLING EMESIS GRAVIDARUM   ABSTRACT Studies estimate that nausea and vomiting (emesis gravidarum) occur in 50 – 90% of pregnancies. Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have a significant impact on the body in which it makes a mother becomes weak, pale, and decreasing body fluid so that the blood becomes thick (hemoconcentration). This situation can slow down blood circulation and inflict the lack of oxygen and food supplies to the body tissues so that it can endanger the health of the mother and fetus. One of the therapies that is safe and can be conducted to reduce nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is by giving the lemon aromatherapy treatment. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of the aroma of lemon therapy to deal with emesis gravidarum. This study applied quasi-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was pregnant women who experienced emesis gravidarum. Furthermore, samples were 20 mothers from Berbah, Sleman taken by using a purposive sampling technique. Nausea and vomiting were assessed between before and after giving lemon aromatherapy using the Rhodes Index. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The mean score of nausea and vomiting before giving lemon aromatherapy on mother with emesis gravidarum based on the Rhodes Index was 22.1. However, it decreased after given lemon aromatherapy treatment to 19.8. Therefore, there was an effect on giving lemon aromatherapy treatment toward the decrease of nausea and vomiting for pregnant women (p-value = 0.017). Lemon aromatherapy is effective to reduce emesis gravidarum.  Keywords: lemon aromatherapy, emesis gravidarum

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the causes of infants death. One of the factors that is proven to be associated with  LBW incidence is pesticide exposure to pregnant women. The high number of female farmers in the agricultural sector will increase the risk of pesticide exposure in pregnant women. Objectives: This study aims to describe how pesticide exposure can be a risk factor for the incidence of LBW. Research method: This study is a systematic study that used meta-synthesis aggregation approach. The search for articles focused on articles that examined the risk factors for pesticide exposure on the incidence of LBW in pregnant women which was conducted on the online databases of Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, Springer, Google Scholar, and Garuda Portal. The criteria for the articles used were national observational journals indexed at least 4 and indexed international journals published in 2010-2020. Result: There were 8 articles that match to the criteria and research topic. Factors that were proven to increase the risk of LBW incidence in pregnant women were agricultural activities related to pesticide, participation in agricultural activities, completeness of PPE, storage of pesticide, duration of exposure to pesticide, frequency of exposure to pesticide, amount of pesticide mixture, and types of pesticide used. Conclusion: Pesticide exposure to pregnant women causes the accumulation of pesticide residues in the body, thus reducing the formation of thyroid hormones and IGF-1 which can cause LBW.   Keywords: low birth weight; pesticide exposure; pregnant women
