To evaluate the expression of steroid receptors (estrogen [ER] and progesterone [PR]) in the endometrium during the implantation window in females with a history of fertility disorders in \"thin\" and \"absolutely thin\" endometrium versus healthy females. \u0000Materials and methods. A prospective comparative study was conducted. The study group (n=42) included patients with \"thin\" endometrium (7 mm M-echo 5 mm at cycle days 1113 according to ultrasound); the comparison group (n=10) included females with \"absolutely thin\" (5 mm according to ultrasound in the pre-ovulatory days) endometrium (females in both groups had a history of infertility and miscarriage of unclear reasons in the anamnesis); the control group included 16 healthy fertile females. A Pipelle biopsy of the uterine mucosa was performed on day 68 after ovulation, and a peripheral blood sample was obtained to measure the concentration of sex steroids (estradiol [E2] and progesterone [P]). Endometrial samples were examined by histological and immunohistochemical methods (ER, PR expression). \u0000Results. All study participants had an ovulatory cycle of P16.1 nmol/L (day 68 after ovulation) and normal estrogen levels (E2, pmol/L). E2/P was similar in all cohorts (p0.05 for all measures). ER and PR expression in the endometrium similar to those in healthy females was detected in 20% of patients in the study and comparison groups (M-echo = 4.83.1 mm): 21% (9/42) and 20% (2/10), respectively. ER and PR expression in the endometrial glands and ER expression in the endometrial stroma were significantly different (p0.05) from healthy females in 79% (41/52) of patients with \"thin\" endometrium and 80% (8/10) of patients with \"absolutely thin\" endometrium. No differences in the ER or PR expression in the endometrium in females with hypoplastic endometrium were found (p0.05). \u0000Conclusion. The M-echo value does not accurately determine endometrial hormonal-receptor abnormalities: 20% of the study participants with hypoplastic endometrium had ER and PR expression comparable to those in healthy females. No differences were found in the expression of endometrial estrogen and progesterone receptors in females with \"thin\" and \"absolutely thin\" endometrium.","PeriodicalId":36505,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78009533","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}

Obesity, due to its high prevalence and relevance, can be considered an epidemic of modern society. Obesity-related microcirculatory vascular disease and chronic inflammation with endothelial dysfunction are associated with adverse effects on reproductive potential. Sulodexide reduces the risk of hemostatic complications in patients planning pregnancy due to its polypotent effect, which is especially important in metabolic disorders and comorbidities. Therefore, it is promising to assess the effectiveness of integrated management of obese patients as part of pregnancy planning. \u0000Aim. To modify the complex treatment of obesity in patients planning pregnancy to reduce the risk of reproductive losses and gestational complications. \u0000Materials and methods. The prospective analysis included 92 patients with grade 1 obesity. According to the clinical protocols and guidelines of the Reproductive Health Professional Medical Association, 46 patients in the control group (group 1) were prescribed treatment to reduce the body mass index, including lifestyle correction, folic acid, and vitamin D. Patients in the comparison group (Group 2, n=46) also received endotheliotropic agent sulodexide. The treatment efficacy was analyzed based on the frequency of pregnancy, the change of laboratory markers of endothelial dysfunction, the incidence of gestational complications, and reproductive losses. \u0000Results. The study showed that in comparison group patients, the frequency of pregnancy (58.7% of cases in Group 1, 71.7% in Group 1), favorable course of the first trimester (39.1% in Group 1, 63.0% in Group 2), and delivery at term (30.4% in Group 1, 56.5% in Group 2) were higher compared to the control group. There was also a more significant decrease in the body mass index and endothelial dysfunction factors (homocysteine level in group 1 before treatment was 172.4 mol/L, and 141.8 mol/L after treatment; 191.7 mol/L before treatment and 91.4 mol/L after treatment in Group 2, respectively) in patients receiving complex treatment with sulodexide. Analysis of the pregnancy course showed a lower risk of gestational diabetes (33.3% in Group 1 and 13.8% in Group 2). \u0000Conclusion. Treatment of obesity in patients planning pregnancy requires a complex effect aimed at correcting lifestyle, reducing body weight, restoring the endothelial layer, and reducing the severity of chronic inflammation, thus improving reproductive outcomes and minimizing the risk of gestational complications.","PeriodicalId":36505,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology","volume":"2 3534 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77802089","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 immune status determines the course of the papillomavirus infection, which may be transient, latent, or persistent. In most cases (7080%), HPV is eliminated spontaneously. The detection of HPV DNA with clinical and morphological changes indicates a latent course of the disease.

However, routine tests cannot detect LID during preconception examination and in the first trimester of pregnancy; therefore, women receive no proper treatment, and iron deficiency manifest in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. LID causes hypoxia, leading to pregnancy, labor, and postpartum complications. \u0000Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of iron with folic acid supplements compared to vitamin-mineral complexes in pregnant women with LID to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes. \u0000Materials and methods. A prospective cohort non-interventional study (observational program) in real clinical practice was conducted. In total 461 pregnant women aged 19 to 35 with LID were included in the study. During the study, women were divided into two groups according to the method of LID correction: administration of iron sulfate 247.25 mg, which corresponds to an iron content of 80 mg + folic acid 350 g (Gyno-Tardyferon), or vitamin-mineral complexes with an iron content of 1418 mg. Routine complete blood count, serum iron, serum ferritin, and transferrin were monitored over time. \u0000Results. Gyno-Tardyferon showed high therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy; the rate of favorable outcomes was 100% and 35% for multivitamin iron-containing complexes. No LID progression to manifest iron deficiency during pregnancy can also be considered a favorable outcome. \u0000Conclusion.

Neural networks are actively used in digital pathology to analyze histological images and support medical decision-making. A common approach is to solve the classification problem, where only class labels are the only model responses. However, one should understand which areas of the image have the most significant impact on the model's response. Machine learning interpretation techniques help solve this problem. \u0000Aim. To study the consistency of different methods of neural network interpretation when classifying histological images of the breast and to obtain an expert assessment of the results of the evaluated methods. \u0000Materials and methods. We performed a preliminary analysis and pre-processing of the existing data set used to train pre-selected neural network models. The existing methods of visualizing the areas of attention of trained models on easy-to-understand data were applied, followed by verification of their correct use. The same neural network models were trained on histological data, and the selected interpretation methods were used to systematize histological images, followed by the evaluation of the results consistency and an expert assessment of the results. \u0000Results. In this paper, several methods of interpreting machine learning are studied using two different neural network architectures and a set of histological images of breast abnormalities. Results of ResNet18 and ViT-B-16 models training on a set of histological images on the test sample: accuracy metric 0.89 and 0.89, ROC_AUC metric 0.99 and 0.96, respectively. The results were also evaluated by an expert using the Label Studio tool. For each pair of images, the expert was asked to select the most appropriate answer (\"Yes\" or \"No\") to the question: \"The highlighted areas generally correspond to the Malignant class.\" The \"Yes\" response rate for the ResNet_Malignant category was 0.56; for ViT_Malignant, it was 1.0. \u0000Conclusion. Interpretability experiments were conducted with two different architectures: the ResNet18 convolutional network and the ViT-B-16 attention-enhanced network. The results of the trained models were visualized using the GradCAM and Attention Rollout methods, respectively. First, experiments were conducted on a simple-to-interpret dataset to ensure they were used correctly. The methods are then applied to the set of histological images. In easy-to-understand images (cat images), the convolutional network is more consistent with human perception; on the contrary, in histological images of breast cancer, ViT-B-16 provided results much more similar to the expert's perception.","PeriodicalId":36505,"journal":{"name":"Gynecology","volume":"09 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86170427","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}

Many biological markers, such as proinflammatory cytokines (interleukins [IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-1] and tumor necrosis factor ), are considered prognostic markers. Changes in their concentrations in various biological media (serum, cervical mucus, amniotic fluid) may indicate a cellular immunological imbalance in the \"motherplacentafetus\" system, which is often the main pathogenesis link of late spontaneous miscarriage. Changes in concentrations of fetoplacental complex hormones such as progesterone, estradiol, and human chorionic gonadotropin have also been described. The concentrations of hypoxia-induced factor HIF1a in amniotic fluid and exosomal HIF1a in patients with cervical incompetence as one of the most common causes of late spontaneous miscarriage are presented as markers.
