The risk of venous thromboembolic complications (VTEС) related to ovarian hyperstimulation during ART is often overlooked. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who developed thrombosis of the right internal jugular vein 3 weeks after embryo transfer within the IVF protocol. Ovarian hyperstimulation during hormonal IVF protocols provokes procoagulant changes in the hemostasis and fibrinolysis system able to result in venous and arterial thrombosis. The localization of VTEС typical to ART is more often located in the internal jugular vein being accompanied by neck pain and edema. Thrombosis risk factors should be assessed in all women in the IVF program, and appropriate thromboprophylaxis should be carried out to all high risk subjects.","PeriodicalId":36521,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction","volume":"8 1‐2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139630365","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}

A search for publications was carried out in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, RSCI databases by retrieving queries for the following keywords: nutritional support, pregnancy, micronutrients, vitamins, macronutrients, without language restrictions. 71 sources with full text access were selected for analysis.Results. Nutritional status during pregnancy markedly impacts on mother's and neonate’s health. During pregnancy, requirements for macro- and micronutrients increase to maintain maternal homeostasis and support fetal growth. Increasing calorie intake in general female population demonstrates modest effects on pregnancy and fetal outcomes, whereas for pregnant women in poor income countries it results in no long-term benefits for children by assessing their anthropometric parameters and neurocognitive development. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, in many countries sensible calorie restriction during pregnancy is recommended. Some micronutrients are vital for mother and fetus, because their deficiency is accompanied by increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. For instance, folic acid deficiency is associated with the risk of developing fetal neural tube defects, iodine deficiency is coupled to the risk of emerging pediatric intellectual development disorders associated with congenital hypothyroidism, and calcium deficiency is related to a high risk of maternal hypertensive disorders. Therefore, micronutrient supplementation represents a technology with good potential in fighting for maternal and child health. Nonetheless, despite some advances in understanding nutritional support in pregnant women, many studies provide controversial data substantiating a need to conduct further investigations.Conclusion. Overall, recent year research confirms that the supplementation of micro- and macronutrients during pregnancy is an effective tool for “fetal programming” allowing to impact on maternal and fetal health. At the same time, an analysis of the literature showed a significant lack of research in the field of creating individual nutrition programs and nutritional support for pregnant women belonging to different segments of the population, living in different geographical regions, etc.","PeriodicalId":36521,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139536276","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}

In 2022–2023 under the auspices of the Institute for Preventive and Social Medicine and the National Alliance for Public Health Advancement, a survey of reproductive doctors practicing at commercial and government ART centers was carried out. The questionnaire contained questions regarding describing a RF female patient’s portrait with an expected ovarian reserve and response to ovarian stimulation to propose a choice of ovarian stimulation protocol as well as basic and concomitant pharmacotherapy.Results. The opinion of 425 fertility doctors from 156 ART centers in 42 cities of the Russian Federation was assessed. A portrait of a female patient with infertility in the Russian Federation was determined in accordance with the ovarian reserve, expected response to gonadotropin-based stimulation (normal response – 40 %, hyporesponse – 40 %, hyperresponse – 20 % of patients). The basic pharmacotherapy in the stimulation protocol in the IVF program based on agonists and antagonists of gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH), various gonadotropin-containing drugs in female patients with expected normal, hypo- and hyperresponse to ovarian stimulation was assessed. The dominant protocol consists of using GnRH antagonist most often observed in patients with hyper- (95 % of cases), normal (75 % of cases) and hypo-response (45.5 %).

The rate of infertile couples comprises 17–24 % and tends to increase, with more of them turning to assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In case a required result is achieved, future parents-to-be prepare for birth of a healthy child in the family, but each couple may face a birth of offspring with severe genetic disorders including spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).Aim: to access a carriage rate for SMN1 gene exon 7 deletion associated with SMA and SMN2 gene copy number in married couples planning childbirth using in vitro fertilization (IVF).Materials and Methods. There were enrolled 170 couples (340 subjects) suffering from infertility and referred for IVF in the Sverdlovsk region (SR) of Russia. The search for deletions/duplications in the SMN1 and SMN2 genes was carried out by quantitatively analyzing number of gene copies using the SALSA MLPA Probemix P460 commercial kit (MRC-Holland, the Netherlands). The Hardy–Weinberg ratio was used to calculate estimated rate of homozygous carriers with SMN1 deletions in the next generation.Results. Among 340 patients, a deletion of exon 7 in the SMN1 gene (one copy out of two) was found in 9 individuals (3 males and 6 females) unrelated to marital relations. Thus, only 9 out of 340 examined subjects carry such gene mutation associated with SMA, with total rate of carriage comprised 2.65 % (1/38). Given the number of IVF procedures performed in SR, it may be assumed that the probability for birth of a sick child in such couple comprises at least 1:6410. A number of patients had SMN1 gene duplications – 9 (5.29 %) males and 4 (2.35 %) females baring 3 copies of the SMN1 gene. In addition, the majority of study participants (54 %) turned out to have 3 copies of the SMN2 gene.Conclusion. The rate of SMA carriage in married couples planning a pregnancy with aid of ART corresponds to the general population reaching 1:38 level. It is believed necessary that all couples entering the IVF program should be examined for carriage of SMN1 gene mutations to assess SMA risk in offspring.","PeriodicalId":36521,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction","volume":"49 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139536651","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}

A retrospective comparative study was performed on a sample of 1,498 women (358 BC patients and 1,140 control subjects) stratified into 2 groups based on verified obesity: obese (119 BC patients and 253 control subjects) and non-obese (239 BC patients and 887 control subjects). Genotyping of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) – rs7910927 JMJD1C, rs8023580 NR2F2, rs4149056 SLCO1B1 was performed to be further analyzed separately in each group of obese and non-obese women for associations of such loci and interplay with breast cancer.Results. Polymorphisms rs8023580 NR2F2, rs4149056 SLCO1B1 and rs7910927 JMJD1C are not independently associated with BC in obese and non-obese women, whereas their interlocus interactions are BC-significant in each of the examined groups (pperm = 0.047 and pperm = 0.0012, respectively). Among obese women, the combination of TC-TT-GG genotypes (for rs8023580–rs4149056–rs7910927) is associated with a low risk of developing BC (β = –2.45), whereas the combination of TC-TC-GG genotypes is associated with increased BC risk (β=1.42).

A proteomic analysis of the peripheral blood of 137 pregnant women was performed. Clinically, three groups were identified at the end of pregnancy: control (n = 40), patients with favorable course of the current and previous pregnancy; comparison group (n = 59) – patients with a history of еPE episode, but favorable course of ongoing pregnancy, and main group (n = 38) – patients with еPE relapse. Biologically active substances evidencing about impaired endothelial function were subject to dynamic monitoring (11–13, 19–21 and 27–28 weeks): activity of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and metalloproteinase ADAMTS-13, von Willebrand factor (vWF) level and homocysteine (HC)concentration. The ADAMTS-13/vWF ratio was evaluated separately.Results. For patients with recurrent еPE, a significant increase in ET-1 is characteristic at all stages of gestation: 0.92; 1.07 and 1.36 pmol/ml vs. 0.29; 0.33 and 0.29 pmol/ml in the control group (p < 0.0001 at all points). Regardless of pregnancy outcome, increasing gestational age was paralleled with elevating vWF level, however, upon еPE relapse, this parameter (Me = 343 IU) is significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than in control group (Me = 260 IU). In all groups, there was a significant decrease in ADAMTS-13 activity, whereas in main group ADAMTS-13 activity at first time point was minimal – 63.4 % (p = 0.0007 relative to control group). With regard to ADAMTS-13/vWF axis in relapsed еPE, significant differences were found compared with control group both at 11–13 weeks (0.32 versus 0.52; p < 0.0001) and at 27–28 weeks (0. 15 versus 0.22; p < 0.0001) pregnancy.

A prospective single-center observational study was conducted by enrolling 63 pregnant women with verified COVID-19 at 14–16 weeks of gestation. The main group consisted of 37 patients with preterm birth (PB), comparison group – 26 patients labour activity that occurred at least at gestational age of 37 weeks. Clinical and anamnestic data and dynamic changes in fibrinogen and D-dimer level, activity of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) were analyzed; thrombin generation assay (TGA) was performed.Results. It was found that severity of COVID-19 infection did not determine the timing of delivery that depended on patient comorbid condition. All PB observations (37 out of 63, 58.7 %) were caused by decompensated placental function manifested by acute obstetrical complications: increasing intrauterine fetal hypoxia (64.9 %) along with intrauterine growth retardation (51.4 %), severe preeclampsia (13.5 %) and premature abruption of the normally located placenta (5.0 %). In both study groups, COVID-19 experienced at 14–16 weeks of pregnancy was associated with coagulation and fibrinolytic imbalances. At the same time, at least 6 weeks post-COVID-19 infection, patients with PB had higher level of the “Peak thrombin” vs. comparison group (3050 vs. 2527 pmol/L; p = 0.0433). Also, patients with term vs. preterm delivery had TF activity decreased significantly: by 47.1% and 28.1%, respectively (p = 0.0546). Patients in preterm delivery group were characterized by fibrinolytic imbalance. At the first time point, suppressed fibrinolysis (PAI-1 level – 18.4 vs. 12.5 ng/ml in the comparison group; p = 0.0209) was concomitant with elevated level of u-PA (1.5 vs. 0.55 ng/ml in comparison group, p = 0.0015), which suggests a potential prolonged immunoinflammatory response in patients with PB.
