A clinical screening examination of 496 women with infertility (main group), of which 238 were diagnosed the various thyroid pathologies, and 80 women with thyroid pathology without reproductive function disorders (control group) was carried out.Results. Primary infertility was diagnosed in 49.4 % of examined women, and secondary infertility – in 50.6 % of patients. Female infertility was diagnosed in 327 (65.9 %) patients, male infertility in 126 (25.4 %) women; infertility of unknown genesis was established during the examination of 43 married couples (8.7 %). In the structure of the causes of female infertility, the tubal-peritoneal factor prevailed (37 %), the frequency of external genital endometriosis was 36.4 %, the endocrine factor – 23.2 %, and the uterine factor – 3.4 %.

Materials and methods. 100 patients with gestational hypertension were examined. The presence of magnesium deficiency in these women was determined by the results of our questionnaires.Pathomorphological and electronic microscopic examination of 32 placentas of patients with gestational hypertension was carried out. 12 placentas of them were from pregnant women who received the proposed management of pregnancy, which included magnesium drugs (I group), and 11 placentas – from patients with risk of preeclampsia, who were observed with the use of standard approaches of pregnancy for women with the risk of preeclampsia (II group). Control group included the results of pathomorphological and electronic microscopic study of 9 placentas from healthy women.Results. Placental of women with gestational hypertension have structural features, which is manifested by the mosaic change of placental barrier in the form of uneven circulatory disorders with hemorrhages and stasis (at the ultrastructural level) in the fetal microvessels of the villi, reducing the placental functional area (rapprochement of the villi), presence of stromal sclerosis villi, foci of pathological immaturity, increase in calcium salts (mineral dystrophy) on the background of compensatory reactions. Electronic microscopic study of the placentas in the I group revealed an increase in the compensatory-adaptive reactions of the placenta – thinning of the placental barrier, activation of cytotrophoblast cells in the placental barrier, increase the number of syncytiocapillary membranes in terminal villi with syncytiotrophoblast organic activation, increase in the number of ribosomes, the appearance of orthodox configuration of mitochondria, increasing the number of capillary membranes and thinning of syncytia, reducing the number of sludge phenomena in microvessels, which leads to an increase in the possibility of nutrient transfer from mother to fetus, etc.Conclusions. The use of the proposed therapy, which involves magnesium, diosmin and others substances, leads to a significant decrease in the frequency of detection of pathological changes in structural and ultrastructural components of the placental barrier and increased compensatory-adaptive reactions which can be considered the result of the positive impact of the proposed therapy on the placental ultrastructural elements in women with risk of preeclampsia.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"211 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74428705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The studied cohort included 90 women 19–40 years old. The main group included 60 women after emergency surgery for ectopic pregnancy (23 patients), ovarian apoplexy (18 patients), complicated ovarian tumor (19 patients), and at the rehabilitation stage they refused to receive the proposed hormonal therapy; control group – 30 women of reproductive age without somatic and gynecological pathology. A complex study of the reproductive system was carried out: ultrasound (transvaginal) examination of the pelvic organs with the calculation of the number of antral follicles, determination of the levels of estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free testosterone index, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and 25(OH)D level in blood serum. The examinations were carried out 3 and 6 months after surgery. Statistical processing of the results was performed using the Microsoft Excel 7.0 and “Statistica 6.0” standard programs.Results. The average age of the patients was 26.4±3.5 years. Before the current surgical intervention, 21 % of patients in the main group were diagnosed premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ovarian tumors. In the postoperative period, the most often menstrual cycle (MC) disorder was an increase in its duration (56.7 % of patients). 63.3 % of patients after urgent gynecological operations had normogonadotropic dysfunction of the ovaries, which is characterized by anovulation, insufficiency of the luteal phase and the ovarian blood flow disorders. The restoration of normal two phases of MC after 6 months was found in 34.2 % of the patients who did not have the hormonal correction. In 18.3 % of patients with ovulatory MC, the insufficiency of the luteal phase is characterized by a decrease of progesterone concentration in the blood serum on the 18–20th day of MC and a disperancy in the endometrium structure. Transient hyperprolactinemia was found in 15.0 % of patients. The surgical injury of the ovary in some patients leads to a decrease in the ovarian reserve.

Materials and methods. A clinical and laboratory analysis of 54 patients with placental dysfunction was carried out. The control group included 30 practically healthy women with a physiological course of pregnancy. Venous blood of the patients was collected for testing using vacuum systems in tubes with 3.8% sodium citrate. The functional activity of platelets was studied on a photooptical aggregometer AP2110 (Solar, Belarus), thrombocytogram was performed on a hematological analyzer H18 LIGHT (SFRI SAS, France), thromboelastometric tests were determined on the ROTEM delta system (Tem Innovations GmbH, Germany). Results. Platelet hemostasis has a significant effect on maximum clot firmness (MCF) according to ROTEM results in patients with placental dysfunction. This indicator can be effective in determination of the hyperreactivity of the platelet unit in patients with placental dysfunction. Although no statically significant difference was found in the optical aggregometry indicators induced by ADP and collagen between the patients with placental dysfunction and the control group, a clear tendency to a sharp reduction in the lag-period of collagen-induced platelet aggregation in patients with placental dysfunction should be mentioned. Conclusions. Disorders in the platelet chain of hemostasis can play a significant role in the formation of a thrombophilic state in patients with placental dysfunction, as well as the damage of the endothelium and coagulation changes. The use of a test based on collagen-induced platelet aggregation may be a perspective method for effective diagnosis of platelet hyperreactivity.

This pathology often leads not only to structural and functional changes in the reproductive system and cause infertility (35-50 %), but also generally significantly worsens physical health, the work capacity and can affect the psycho-emotional state of women. As endometriosis is diagnosed in almost every third of women and there is a trend for its rate increase, it remains a subject of special interest not only for scientists, but also for practical doctors. Despite of a lot of literature data, currently, there is no protocol, international guideline, which provides uniform algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis with subsequent realization of reproductive function. The experts pay attention to an individual approach for the comprehensive solution of the problem regarding the age of the woman, the localization and extent of the process, the severity of symptoms, the state of fertility and the necessity to restore reproductive function, the presence of concomitant gynecological and somatic pathology, and the effectiveness of previous treatment. The article provides a clinical description of a case of spontaneous pregnancy with bilateral endometriosis of the ovaries, which was diagnosed before pregnancy, with favorable maternal and fetal outcomes. An ultrasound description of endometrioid changes in the pelvic organs during the pregnancy is presented. The authors developed an individual management plan for the patient in accordance with her young age, high ovarian reserve, which in the presence of patency of the fallopian tubes and normal indicators of the man’s spermogram can be considered as prognostic factors for evaluating the appropriate reaction of the ovaries in case of spontaneous conception. During the operative delivery (caesarean section), the surgical treatment of endometriosis of the ovaries was performed at the same time.

Materials and methods. A prospective clinical and statistical examination of 160 patients with AV was conducted. The main group was formed from 55 women of menopausal age with clinical manifestations of AV, who were treated only by the therapy with CO2 laser. The comparison group included 40 women of menopausal age who had for the correction of AB manifestations CO2 laser therapy in combination with local hormonal therapy – suppositories which contain 0.5 mg of estriol. The control group included 65 women of menopausal age who were treated with the therapy with the local application of suppositories with 0.5 mg of estriol once a day. The standard hormonal colpocytology was performed in all the women to assess the colpocytological state of the vaginal mucosa. Diagnostic test strips were used to determine the condition of the vagine (pH). In the case of a shift in the pH of the vaginal contents ≥ 4.4, the degree of vaginal purity and the number of leukocytes were studied using a microscopic examination. An amine test was performed to determine the presence of bacterial vaginosis in patients with AB. The microbiological study was performed using the “Femoflor-16” method. Results.

Materials and methods. 120 pregnant women (the main group) who were hospitalized and delivered in the Kyiv Perinatal Center during 2018–2020 at a gestation period of 23–33 weeks were examined. The women of the main group were divided into two subgroups depending on the term of birth – the 1st group included patients who delivered at 23–28 weeks of pregnancy, the patients of the 2nd group had labors at 29–33 weeks. Placentas of women in the main group were examined using morphological (histological method – staining with hematoxylin and eosin and van Gieson) and immunohistochemical methods (indirect streptavidin-peroxidase method for determining the expression level of progesterone receptors – PR). Results. Premature maturation of chorionic villi was found in 40 % of placentas of women in the 1st group 1, in 20 % – blood circulation disorders and the presence of acute inflammatory infiltration in the fetal membranes, decidual and chorionic membranes, 10 % – pathological immaturity of the placenta according to the variant of chaotic sclerosed villi. During the immunohistochemical study of RP, an unexpressed reaction was found in the epithelium and stromal cells of stem, intermediate and terminal villi – 1 point; in fetal membranes and extravillous cytotrophoblast – 2 points; in the endothelium of vessels – 0–1 point. In the placentas of women in the 2nd group premature maturation of villi was found in 70 % of cases, pseudoinfarcts of villi which are embedded in fibrinoid occupying a significant area – 45 %, afunctional zones – 55 %, blood circulation disorders – 35 %, pathological immaturity placenta according to the variant of chaotic, sclerosed villi – 20 %, acute inflammatory infiltration in the fetal membranes – 15 %.

Patients of the I (main) group had hysteroscopic procedures using a bipolar electrode, the persons in the II (comparison) group – a monopolar electrode. The registration of operative complications was carried out – bleeding, perforation, excess fluid and hyponatremia. The time of operation and stay in a gynecological hospital were also taken into account.Results. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding patient’s characteristics, ultrasound findings, serum sodium levels before and after surgery, uterine perforation, and intraoperative bleeding. Fluid overload was significantly higher in patients of the II group (p<0.03). Postoperative hyponatremia was also significantly pronounced in the II group (p<0.05). The average operation time was significantly shorter in women of the I group compared to the II group (p=0.01), and the hospital stay was significantly shorter for patients after hysteroscopic intervention using bipolar energy compared to the group in which monopolar energy was used (p=0.04). Conclusions. Hysteroresectoscopy with the use of bipolar electrodes is accompanied by a significant decrease in cases of hyponatremia, reduction of the duration of surgical intervention and the stay of gynecological patients in the hospital after surgery. Therefore, this method is safe and effective compared to the use of monopolar electrodes.","PeriodicalId":21003,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive health of woman","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83107442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
