Comorbid pathology of the mammary glands and endometriosis: risk factors and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: based on a retrospective analysis, the relationship between external genital endometriosis and comorbid breast pathology was established and risk factors were identified, their comparison and the formation of a prognostic risk criterion were determined. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: to address the objectives of the study, a retrospective analysis of 470 cases of patients treated for external genital endometriosis after surgical treatment and comorbid breast pathology was conducted. The control group included 30 healthy non-pregnant women. Statistical processing was performed on a personal computer using the statistical software package Statistica 10. RESULTS: Results: As a result of the analysis, the age of the patients ranged from 23 to 40 years. The average age of patients in the study group was (32.2}1.18) years, and in the control group (31.1}1.35) (p>0.05). The groups were homogeneous in terms of age (p>0.05), marital status (p>0.05) and level of education (p>0.05). Close relatives in 208 (44.25}2.18) % (OR=8.86; 95 % CI: (0.68-10.53); p<0.002) cases suffered from benign (hormone-dependent) tumours and tumour-like diseases of the uterus and appendages in isolation or in various combinations (fibroids, adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia). It was also found that 102 (21.70}1.67) % of patients had endometriosis, which may indicate a genetic predisposition to this disease. In the closest relatives of EM patients: in 118 (25.10}2.01) % of the examined parents, breast problems were noted, in 66 (14.04}1.12) % - diabetes mellitus, and in 98 (20.85}1.22) % thyroid diseases were detected, which in total amounted to (60.00}2.23) % (OR=9.12; 95 % CI: (0.58-11.54); p<0.002). Early menarche almost tripled the risk of EM (OR=2.72; 95% CI: (1.02-5.11); p<0.002), and menstrual irregularities doubled it (OR=2.04; 95% CI: (1.09-3.14); p<0.05), higher education, urban residents - 2.2 times higher (OR= 2.27; 95 % CI: (1.11-3.63); p<0.05), diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and hepatobiliary complex - 5.2 times higher (OR=5.27; 95 % CI: (1.89-12.03); p<0.05), frequently recurrent inflammatory diseases of the appendages - 3 times higher (OR=3.14; 95 % CI: (0.91-5.14); p<0.05), dysmetabolic manifestations (thyroid dysfunction) - 5 times higher (OR=5.11; 95 % CI: (1.61-9.503); p<0.002). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Thus, in endometriosis and dyshormonal diseases of the mammary glands, menstrual and generative function disorders, along with clinical symptoms of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, autonomic nervous system disorders and sexual dysfunction, are significant components of this problem, initiating comorbidity processes in target organs in the setting of hormonal maladaptation. Therefore, these comorbidities become a trigger for the activation of systemic hormonal imbalance and become an urgent interdisciplinary problem that requires further study.

Pregravid preparation of women with chronic endometritis in IVF cycles.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: of our study was to improve the pregravid preparation of women with chronic endometritis to develop individual approaches to overcoming infertility, taking into account the state of endometrium. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: The study included 90 women (main group, n=90), 28 to 38 years with an anatomically normal uterus and chronic endometritis (CE). Patients were divided into 2 groups: group I - 45 women with CE who received conventional treatment; group II - 45 women with CE who received pregravid preparation by subendometrial injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). RESULTS: Results: At the first stage of study, the ART statistical reports from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed at the Medical Center of Reproductive Health ≪Damia≫, (Ivano-Frankivsk). Analysis of the vaginal flora parameters before treatment at the first stage revealed the presence of conditionally pathogenic flora in culture from the cervical canal (Candida albicans - 2.4%, Escherihia coli - 4.8%, Staphylococcus epidermidis - 6.2% Enterococcus faecalis - 6.9%), and was evidence of a possible recurrence of inflammation during gestation. In the age category, the groups of patients were homogeneous, with no significant differences by the level of AMH and the level of CD 138. Biochemical pregnancy be present in 20 patients (44.4%) of group I and 28 (62.2%) of group II. Fertility within a year after the end of therapy was restored with the proposed method of therapy in most women (51.1%), in the comparison group this number was 11.1% lower. Pregnancy rate between the groups (I and II) did not differ significantly. The number of live births in group II - 19 births (42.2%) - was 2 times higher than I group (9 (20.0%), P<0.05). The most common complication for women in the comparison groups was early pregnancy loss. Among 18 (40.0%) clinical pregnancies of group I, 8 women (17.8%) had early miscarriage, 1 ectopic pregnancy (2.2%), while in group II clinical pregnancy be present in 23 women (51.1%). The number of terminated pregnancies was two times lower than in the first group (8.9% vs. 17.8%, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Chronic endometritis is one of the main causes of pregnancy loss after in vitro fertilization. Patients of the second group were treated with the proposed method of subendometrial injections with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), prepared from autologous blood, is an effective method of preparing the endometrium for embryo transfer and can increase the number of live births in patients with chronic endometritis.

PREGNANT WOMEN WITH COVID-19 AND PLACENTA ANGIOGENESIS.

OBJECTIVE: Aim of our research was to conduct a clinical and laboratory analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy and the condition of the fetus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: At the first stage, we conducted a retrospective examination of 50 pregnant women treated at Ternopil Municipal Hospital No.2 (Ukraine) between November 2020 and January 2022 with the history of COVID-19, confirmed by PCR test, and 25 pregnant COVID-19 negative pregnant women (control group). At the second stage, we performed prospective cohort study and involved 40 pregnant women treated with the history of COVID-19, confirmed by PCR, and 10 pregnant COVID-19 negative women with a physiological course of pregnancy as a control group.Women were divided into the following groups: group I -10 women diagnosed with COVID-19 during the first trimester of pregnancy: group II-15 women diagnosed during the second trimester; group III-15 women diagnosed during the third trimester. Ultrasound examination and cardiotocograms were performed to assess fetus status. Blood samples were collected at delivery. To determine whether COVID-19 could alter placental angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), PlGF and interleuin-32-α were assessed. RESULTS: Results: We identified that concentration of VEGFA was 95.30±5.65 pg/ml in control group. In women who had COVID-19 in first trimester, this index was 1.3 times higher, in second trimester 1.63 times higher and in third trimester by 2 times compared to control group. PlGF concentration was only 27,4 percent in group I, 16 percent in group II and 30 percent in group III,compared to control group. Concentration of interleuin-32-α was 67.27±5.63 pg/ml in control group and increased to 167 percent in group I, by 2.8 times in group II and by 6.3 times in group III compared to control group. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: COVID-19 has a negative impact on placental angiogenesis, including VEGFA and PlGF. Fetal post-COVID-19 syndrome requires timely diagnosis of disorders and further study. Post-COVID-19 syndrome is an immune-dependent pathology in which the processes of protracted cytokine activation occur in the body of a pregnant woman.

MULTIFACTORIAL REGRESSION MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE LEVEL OF HEAT SENSITIVITY IN HEALTHY YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL WARMING.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To create a mathematical model for predicting the level of heat sensitivity in healthy young people based on multivariate regression analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 150 healthy young people aged 17-20 years answered the questionnaire "Levels of heat sensitivity", underwent a heat test and mathematical analysis of the heart rate, after which the results were used to build a regression model of heat sensitivity. RESULTS: Results: The model of mathematical prediction of heat sensitivity (CHSL1/CHSL2), which we proposed for the first time, takes into account the most significant factors that influence the determination of higher and lower sensitivity to heat (Q1-Q6, %LF2, %HF1, %HF2, HR1, HR2), so its use will allow timely identi¬fication of individuals who are particularly susceptible to the effects of elevated ambient temperature and prevent the development of potential negative consequences of this exposure. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, it is possible to use this prognostic model in the future to develop a diagnostic system for determining the level of heat sensitivity.

CLINICAL FEATURES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA, OSGOOD-SCHLATTER DISEASE AND MULTIPLE CORTICAL DISORDERS IN A CHILD.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To analyze scientific data on the problems of disorders of bone morphogenesis in children, in particular, non-ossifying fibroma. To analyze modern methods of diagnosis and treatment of this disease in the context of the latest scientific achievements. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The latest data of scientists from the world's leading clinics describing various forms of fibrous skeletal lesions in children of differ¬ent ages were analyzed. We examined a boy with fibrous lesions of the cortical layer of the knee joint bones and a girl with a large fibrous focus of the distal femoral metaphysis, which resulted in a closed pathological bone fracture. Surgical treatment, osteosynthesis, marginal resection of the tumor, bone grafting and histological examination were conducted. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Despite numerous studies of this disease, the etiopathogenesis of this disease has not been studied. There are no early symptoms of fibrous bone lesions in children. Diagnosis is possible only when a pathological fracture of the affected bone occurs due to extensive growth of fibrous tissue and a significant decrease in the mechanical strength of the bone. Most cases of recognition of such a disease occur accidentally when performing X-ray examinations for other reasons - bruises, sprains, arthralgias, osteochondropathy, infectious diseases, etc. It is known that boys are more mobile and require more frequent X-ray examinations for limb injuries than girls, so the likelihood of accidental detection of such changes increases significantly. Thus, long-term observations of children with fibrous bone lesions have shown that after 40 years, patients rarely developed malignant tumors - osteogenic sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant fibroma of tubular bones, pelvic bones. There are no early symptoms of fibrous bone lesions in children. Recognition of such a disease occurs by chance when X-ray examinations are performed for other reasons.

MENSTRUAL DISORDER IN ADOLESCENTS DURING WAR.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To investigate the peculiarities of menstrual cycle disorders in teenagers against the background of excessive stress in order to develop a scientifically based set of measures for their correction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 120 girls aged 9-18 who were in the war zone or became forced migrants were examined. Examination methods included anamnesis collection, assessment of psycho-emotional state, anthropometry, laboratory and instrumental studies. RESULTS: Results: It was found that the frequency of menstrual cycle disorders in the subjects was 65.8% (n = 79). Among menstrual cycle disorders: dysmenorrhea - 45.6% (n = 36), excessive menstruation - 27.8% (n = 22), secondary amenorrhea - 26.6% (n = 21). 71.7% (n = 86) of the examinees noted a change in eating behavior over the past few months. Almost half of these children had dyshormonal disorders or met the criteria of metabolic syndrome - 45.3% (n = 39). CONCLUSION: Conclusion: Timely detection and adequate correction of psycho-emotional and metabolic disorders in adolescent girls in stressful conditions contributes to the prevention of disorders of menstrual and reproductive function.

LETHALITY ANALYSIS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION. ADVERSE FACTORS AND POSSIBLE WAYS TO ELIMINATE THEM.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To determine obstruction factors that can lead to lethal consequences for patients with acute small intestine in order to develop possible directions for their prevention. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: During the retrospective analysis of 30 patients with acute small bowel obstruction, the causes and contributing factors of mortality were determined. RESULTS: Results: The cause of mortality in the $rst three days of the postoperative period was the progression of the phenomena of intoxication, which led to the appearance of the syndrome of enteric insu%ciency and the development of multiple organ dysfunction. Mortality in the later period was observed due to the decompensation of concomitant diseases that accompanied acute obstruction of the small intestine. In the process of the study it was determined that the possible reasons of the postoperative complications in the studied group of patients, apart from the elderly and senile age of the patients and delayed medical care, according to the results of our observation were: uncorrected hypotension and hypovolemia in the postoperative period, refusal of the intubation of the small intestine and permanent decompression of the gastrointestinal tract, early removal of the nasogastric tube, long-term anemia and hypoproteinemia, prevention of stress ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract in the elderly and senile age, refusal of early use of enteral nutrition and later restoration of motility of the gastrointestinal tract. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Treatment of patients with acute small intestine obstruction requires the selection of a specially designed treatment program (optimal timing of preoperative preparation, selection of the minimum volume) at all stages of surgical care, taking into account the existing concomitant pathology, age and hospitalization period.

PROGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DIFFERENT HEAT SENSITIVITY.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To establish criteria for individual thermal sensitivity in almost healthy individuals aged 17-20 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: We surveyed 150 people aged 17-20 years. Heat sensitivity was previously assessed using our adapted questionnaire «Levels of heat sensitivity¼, in which according to the scale the number of points 0-6 indicates reduced heat sensitivity, 7-16 points - increased). All respondents underwent thermal testing. The subjects had auscultatory determination of pulse rate and blood pressure, after which the hands of both hands were immersed in a container with warm water (45° C) for 3 minutes. At the 2nd minute, pulse rate and blood pressure were determined. this procedure was repeated after the hands were removed from the water, and every 2 minutes until the pulse and blood pressure recovered over time. Before and after the heat test, a mathematical analysis of heart rate was performed using a computer software package, according to the manufacturer>s instructions. RESULTS: Results: After conducting a thermal test in people with hypersensitivity, an increase in the average values of heart rate and blood pressure. In the group of people with lower sensitivity to heat, heart rate and blood pressure after the heat test decreased or did not change. As a result of statistical processing of data from mathematical analysis of heart rate, it was found that in persons with hypersensitivity after the thermal test increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, while in subjects with reduced sensitivity to heat showed a slight advantage of parasympathetic nervous system. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system in response to heat in people with hypersensitivity indicates the development of stress, and given the current trend towards long-term and constant increase in average annual temperature, this will lead to overstrain of regulatory mechanisms, depletion of functional reserves and reduced adaptability . Therefore, people with high heat sensitivity are particularly vulnerable to global climate change.

PATHOGENETIC ASPECTS OF METABOLIC SYNDROME IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Was to study the state of the nitric oxide system, LPO and antioxidant system in the body of experimental animals in simulated metabolic syndrome. The aim of the study was to study the state of the nitric oxide system, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system in the body of experimental animals in simulated MS. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study was performed on 20 white male Wistar rats. Male control rats (n = 10) were fed a normal control diet. Male rats of the main group (n = 10) were fed a diet high in fat (over 60 % energy from fats) for 16 weeks, thus modeling the development of MS. The indicators of the prooxidant and antioxidant system, as well as the nitric oxide system were determined by photospectrographic method. RESULTS: Results: In animals with simulated MS, intensification of lipoperoxidation (statistically significantly higher level of TBA-active products 1.84 times), depletion of antioxidant protection (statistically significantly lower level of superoxide dismutase 2 times), activation of nitric oxide system (statistically significantly higher NO-synthase level 2.15 times) were found compared with intact animals. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: In animals with simulated MS, activation of lipid peroxidation processes, depletion of antioxidant protection and increased.

CAUSES OF SUPERINFECTIONS: DEADLY BACTERIA OF TUBERCULOSIS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To improve early diagnosis of drug-resistant superbacteria and interrupt the ways of its formation through molecular technological and surgical methods. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The operated patients were divided into two groups: group 1 - 351 (51.25 %) patients, who were operated with the use of minimally invasive technologies, and this was the main group; group 2 - 334 (48.75 %) patients who were operated on open wide thoracotomy, which was the comparison group. Among 351 patients in the main group, in 301 - acute pleural tuberculous empyema was detected, and in 50 - chronic one. Among patients in the comparison group, acute pleural empyema was observed in 284 patients and chronic in 50 patients. RESULTS: Results: According to our data, video thoracoscopy is a highly informative method of diagnosis of pleural effusions, detection of pleural tuberculous empyema in the first, second and third stages of its development. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The introduction of modern molecular-geneticand surgical technologies will allow to accurately establish the etiology process, to conduct the identification of pathogen microorganisms and to determine the phenotymetric and genotytypical sensitivity of bacteria to Antimycobacterial drugs. Such diagnostics will promote effective treatment of patients who are already infected with persistent strains of bacteria and viruses.

INTESTINAL MICROFLORA ON THE BACKGROUND OF BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS ON VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE WOMEN.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our work was to study the intestinal microbiome in obese women and further develop differentiated patterns of exposure to the intestinal microbiota to improve metabolism and reduce excess weight. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Surveyed 120 overweight and obese women. For comparison, 60 women without overweight and obesity were examined. Group I - women with vulvovaginal candidiasis and overweight and obesity (60 women); group II - women with vulvovaginal candidiasis without overweight and obesity (30 women); group III - women with bacterial vaginosis and overweight and obesity (60 women); ІV - women with bacterial vaginosis without overweight and obesity (30 women). The study of the intestinal microbiocenosis included the determination of the species and quantitative composition of the microflora. Quantitative indicators of intestinal microflora were studied by seeding 1 ml from each dilution on differential diagnostic media: Endo, Ploskireva, ICA (bismuth - agar sulfide) to detect pathogenic enterobacteria; ZhSA (yellow - salt agar) for determination of staphylococci. To study the hemolytic activity of bacteria was used agar with 5% erythrocyte content of sheep. The presence of bifidobacteria in the test material was studied on Blaurok medium, and lactobacilli - on MRS medium. Statistical analysis of the obtained research results was performed using standard computer packages "Data Analysis" Microsoft Excel for Windows 2002. RESULTS: Results: Based on the results of studies, we can summarize the nature of changes in the intestinal microbiome on the background of vulvovaginal candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis in women with overweight and obesity. In all women with excess body weight and obesity, intestinal microflora disorders have been registered, which are characterized by the replacing the lactobacilli and bifidum bacteria to opportunistic pathogens. A significant increase in Firmicutes phylum microorganisms and a significant decrease in Bacteroidetes phylum were found. The obtained data prove that changes in the species composition of the intestinal microbiota play an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The results indicate the feasibility of monitoring the intestinal microbiota in women with vulvovaginal candidiasis and bacterial vaginosis, especially in the presence of excess body weight and obesity to determine the degree of violations of its components, and timely correction of the detected changes.

THE STATE OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OF WOMEN WITH HYPERPROLIFERATIVE PATHOLOGY OF THE ENDOMETRIUM.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To study and analyze the dynamics of women's reproductive health in Ukraine as a factor in population reproduction and to study the features of menstrual disorders in Ukraine in 2010-2019. In women of reproductive age with hyperproliferative pathology of the endometrium without atypia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: A descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using data from the departmental statistical reporting of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on the number of cases of gynecological pathology for 2010-2019. The peculiarities of menstrual function in patients of reproductive age with atypical hyperproliferative pathology of the endometrium were studied. We examined 84 patients of the gynecological department of the Sumy Regional Clinical Perinatal Center with a diagnosis of hyperproliferative pathology of the endometrium without atypia, who sought medical help during 2017-2020 for hyperplastic processes of the endometrium in reproductive age (18 to 49 years). All patients were divided into three groups, up to group I women with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (HGE) (n = 30); Group II - patients diagnosed with endometrialpolyps (n = 30); group III included patients with combined hyperproliferative pathology (uterine body polyps and endometrial hyperplasia without atypia) (n = 24). RESULTS: Results: As a result of the conducted systematic analysis it was established: the higher the prevalence of PMC, the higher the frequency of diseases of the genitourinary system and some gynecological diseases. This is confirmed by the calculated coefficients of correlation of the prevalence of PMC with the frequency of diseases of the genitourinary system (r = 0.75, p<0.001), salpingitis (r = 0.63, p<0.001) and endometriosis (r = 0.42, p<0, 05). The assessment of the relative risk of gynecological diseases has shown that the greatest attention needs to be paid to improving the diagnosis of infertility and endometriosis, as well as the prevention and treatment of salpingitis and uterine cancer. When women with menstrual disorders go to the gynecologist, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of hyperproliferative pathology, and if women have other chronic diseases, offer rehabilitation of these foci, which can further have a positive effect on reproductive health. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The highest rates of menstrual irregularities were found in women with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and a combination diffuse hyperplasia with endometrial polyps in contrast to patients with only endometrial polyps. Menstrual irregularities can be considered as a marker and indicator of dysfunction of the genitourinary system and the presence of a hyperproliferative process at the prehospital stage.

LUNG ULTRASOUND DURING COVID-19 PANDEMICS: WHY, HOW AND WHEN?

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To optimize diagnostic of pathological processes in lungs af f ected by COVID-19, dynamic monitoring and clinical decision making using lung ultrasound in limited resources settings. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Between the onset of pandemics and January 2021, approximately 9000 patients have been treated for conf i rmed COVID-19 in the Olexandrivska Clinical Hospital. Assessment of all hospitalized patients included hematology, chemistries and proinf l ammatory cytokines - IL-6, CRP, procalcitonin, ferritin. Diagnosis was conf i rmed by PCR for SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Chest X-ray was performed in all hospitalized cases, while CT was available approximately in 30% of cases during hospital stay. Lung ultrasound was proactively utilized to assess the type and extent of lung damage and to monitor the progress of disease in patients hospitalized into the ICU and Infection Unit (n=135). Ultrasound fi ndings were recorded numerically based on scales. RESULTS: Results: In the setting of СOVID-19, bedside lung ultrasound has been promptly recognized as a tool to diagnose and monitor the nature and extent of lung injury. Lung ultrasound is a real time assessment, which helps determine the nature of a pathologic process af f ecting lungs. In this paper the accuracy of bedside LUS, chest X-ray and computer tomography are compared based on clinical cases, typical for COVID-19 lung ultrasound appearance is evaluated. Described in article data is collected in one of the biggest facility that deals with COVID-19. Chest X-ray was performed in all hospitalized cases, while CT was available approximately in 30% of cases during hospital stay. The cases presented in the paper indicate potential advantages to the use of ultrasound in limited resource healthcare settings, especially when the risk of transportation to CT outweighs the value of information obtained. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Grading of ultrasonographic findings in the lungs was suf f i cient for both initial assessment with identif ication of high risk patients, and routine daily monitoring. Hence, lung ultrsound may be used to predict deterioration, stratify risks and make clinical decisions.

CONDITION OF FETURES AND NEWBORNS FROM WOMEN WITH INFERTILITY TREATED WITH ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND WITH CONCOMITANT INTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Improving the effects of pregnancy on the fetus and newborn through early diagnosis and timely comprehensive therapy of pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: We have conducted a complex examination of 60 women who got pregnant owing to assisted reproductive technologies, with concomitant intrahepatic cholestasis, and 20 practically healthy women with a physiological course of pregnancy and labor (reference group), aged between 18 and 42. The research did not involve pregnant women with chronic liver diseases, viral hepatitis, skin diseases. Womens who underwent the suggested complex drug therapy with Ursofalc, L-arginine and Omega 3, with peroral administration for 14 days according to the following scheme: Ursofalc - 250 mg once a day, L-arginine - 5 ml 3 times a day, Omega 3 - 1 capsule a day. The complex examination of pregnant women with IHC was conducted before and after treatment. We analyzed the data of anamnesis, carried out anthropometric measurements, clinical biochemical examinations of the women with IHC, including the measurement of the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total and direct bilirubin, total and placental alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, 5'-nucleotidase, cholic, deoxycholic and chenodeoxycholic acids as wells as their total level. RESULTS: Results: Almost 40 % of women with intrahepatic cholestasis gave birth to babies with asphyxia, including severe one in 11.1 % of cases, 1/3 of the newborns were premature, 40% had signs of hypotrophy, and 66.7 % experienced a disturbed course of early neonatal adaptation. There was also a higher level of perinatal mortality. The newborns from women who had undergone the suggested complex therapy presented no cases of hypotrophy, prenatal infection or cerebral circulation disorder. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Thus, functional hepatic disorders in women with infertility play a certain role in the carrying of pregnancy after ART, in the development of pregnancy complications and adverse consequences for women and their newborns. The conducted research shows that early diagnosis and timely complex therapy of pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis makes it possible to influence the pathogenesis of perinatal complications and improve the consequences of pregnancy for the fetus and the newborn.

INTERDISCIPLINARY INTERACTION IN MAINTAINING THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN WOMEN WITH UTERINE LEYOMYOMA.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Optimizing the interdisciplinary approaches in the diagnosis and monitoring the dynamics of uterine leiomyoma treatment by high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: In the course of scientific research we conducted a survey 72 women of reproductive age were diagnosed with leiomyoma. All patients underwent bimanual gynecological examination, ultrasound and MRI to determine the condition of the pelvic organs, assess the structure, location, number of myomas, as well as assess the possible acoustic pathway of high-intensity focused ultrasound. During monitoring, dynamic contrasting was used to determine the zone of node necrosis. Methods of control in the postoperative period: ultrasound, MRI of the pelvic organs using paramagnetic, were performed after 1, 3, 6 months. Ultrasound ablation of uterine fibroids was performed using the JC extracorporeal treatment system (Chongqing HAIFU (HIFU) Technology Co. Ltd., China) with a built-in ultrasound system (Italy). Controlling the direct result was based on gray scale changes during real-time ultrasound examination on the monitor of the JC device. Since HIFU is a non-invasive method of treatment, in the future, the diagnosis was limited to using the ultrasound and MRI paramagnetic. Indicators such as: uterine body size were considered as indicators that characterize the effectiveness of treatment; specific volume of myoma; regression of uterine body size; regression of the myoma; regression of the node, calculated on its specific volume, because one patient could have several nodes. RESULTS: Results: Analyzing the obtained results, it should be noted that for a month the average volume of leiomatous hives that were exposed to HIFU, almost did not change and was 122 cm³, while three months after treatment it was - 98 cm. The nodes underwent a significant reduction 6 months after the treatment, their volume averaged 61 cm³. The dynamics analysis results of uterine body volume reduction, which is no less important expected result, showed the following: in the first month after the intervention the uterine volume almost did not change and, compared to the average size before treatment 342cm³, was 300cm³. In three months after treatment, the body volume of the uterus decreased to 264 cm³, and in six months - to 200 cm³. When assessing the node 6 months after the procedure, it was found that during this period there was a significant reduction in the volume of leiomyoma, which was positively correlated with the clinical manifestations of the disease. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: An interdisciplinary approach with the widespread introduction of modern organ-preserving techniques is an important direction in maintaining the reproductive health of women with uterine leiomyoma. Positive dynamics of leiomatous node volume regression depends on its location, volume and MR type. The terms 1 and 3 months after ultrasound ablation are insufficient for objective radiological evaluation of the treatment outcome, but are important for the choice of further tactics in observing and treating the uterine leiomyoma.

FETAL INFECTIONS OPTIMIZATION OF PREGNANCY AND DELIVERY INTRODUCTION.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Improving perinatal outcomes in pregnant women at high risk of intrauterine infection by developing diagnostic criteria and algorithms for managing pregnancy and childbirth. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study of pregnancy and childbirth was conducted in 72 patients at high risk of IUI, which formed the main group. The control group consisted of 64 patients with a low infectious risk of IUI. Culture, bacterioscopic and biochemical methods were used to identify microorganisms. Peculiarities of infection in the examined women were investigated by determining the concentration of Ig M and IgG in the blood serum and performed polymerase chain reaction for measles virus, cytomegalovirus, parvovirus B19. Serum for the presence of specific immune globulins to these pathogens was examined by ELISA. Comprehensive ultrasound examination in B-mode was performed to determine the feto metry of the fetus and assess its development with the determination of the estimated mass, location, size and structure of the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid. To determine the condition of the fetus, a Doppler study of blood flow in the uterine arteries, umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery of the fetus and venous duct. RESULTS: Results: Analyzing the course of this pregnancy in women of the studied groups threatened miscarriage and the threat of premature birth occurred in 24 (33.3%) cases, with signs of isthmic-cervical insufficiency were diagnosed in 13 (18.1%) patients. In the control group of patients, the threat of abortion was diagnosed in 15 (23.4%) patients. According to ultrasound examination, patients in the main group in 12 (16.7%) cases were diagnosed with fetal growth retardation, in 25 (34.7%) patients at high risk of IUI there were changes in the placenta, namely, hyper echogenic inclusions in the placenta occurred in 7 (9.7%) cases, dilation of the intervillous space in 8 (11.1%) cases, placental hyperplasia in 7 (9.7%) cases, polyhydramnios was diagnosed in only 5 (6), 9%) cases, with 1 (1.4%) acute polyhydramnios in patients with signs of acute respiratory viral infection during pregnancy. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Women at high risk for IUI require close monitoring of the fetus due to the increased frequency of hemodynamic changes in uteroplacental-fetal circulation, including fetal-placental - 22.2% and the occurrence of intrauterine growth retardation. Women with suspected cytomegalovirus infection require determination of seroconversion; in case of immunologically confirmed infection, it is desirable to recognize PCR for cytomegalovirus in the amniotic fluid in order to determine further management and monitoring of this pregnancy.

MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE ENDOMETRIUM IN HYPERPLASTIC PROCESS IN WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To conduct a morphological study of endometrial tissue to identify changes characteristic of viral lesions to develop improved antirelapse treatment of HPE in women of reproductive age. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: We surveyed 90 patients of the gynecological department who sought medical for hyperplastic processes of the endometrium in reproductive age. All women underwent hysteroscopy, the resulting material was subjected to morphological examination. RESULTS: Results: It became known that the virus is involved in the pathogenesis of endometrial hyperplasia. It is likely that it exists in epitheliocytes not only as a "passenger", but also as an etiological factor. It became known that it was in complex hyperplasia with atypia that the percentage reached the highest level, which is a precancerous condition. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Typical morphological change of the endometrium - multinucleation, multinuclearity and koilocytotic atypia in women of childbearing age with HPE - was revealed. The presence of infectious pathogens in the endometrium of patients with HPE can be regarded as one of the possible triggers for the development of hyperplastic processes.

ESTIMATION OF RELATIVE RISK OF DEVELOPMENT AND INFORMATIVENESS OF DIAGNOSTIC METHODS OF HYPERPROLIFERATIVE PROCESSES OF ENDOMETRIUM.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To conduct a comparative analysis of the results of ultrasound and hysteroscopic examinations with further histopathological findings and the clinical and anamnestic features of patients with hyperproliferative pathology in order to determine the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the development of endometrial pathological processes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: We studied 119 medical records of patients of the Gynecological Department of Minipal Non-Commercial Enterprise "Ternopil Municipal City Hospital No. 2", who applied for medical assistance because of benign endometrial hyperplasia in the reproductive age with a verified diagnosis of "uterine polyp" during 2017-2018. The control group consisted of 30 patients of the same age group, with menstrual disorders with no signs of hyperplastic processes of endometrium. With the consent of the patients, they were treated with diagnostic hysteroscopy in order to study evacuated material from the uterus. The results of the histological study confirmed the absence of signs of hyperplastic processes of endometrium. The results of diagnostic methods were evaluated by comparing the material's histological data with the results of ultrasound and hysteroresectoscopy. RESULTS: Results: Taking into account the results of our research, women with hyperplastic processes of endometrium have the risk of the pathology of the nervous system is in 2.71 times higher (OR=2.71, CI-0.88: 8.33), cardiovascular pathology-in 2.04 (OR=2.04, CI-0.57:7.34), vascular diseases of the lower extremities-in 1.81 times (OR=1.81, CI-0.21:15.32) compared with the control group. While the risk of pathology of the urinary system and organs of vision is only-OR=0.48, CI-0.11:2.03 and OR=0.75, CI-0.08:7.48, respectively. Analyzing the results of the study using ultrasound examination, it was found that endometrial polyposis in combination with uterine leiomyoma was not detected in 3 women (15%), while all the results of hysteroscopy were confirmed by histopathological studies. When the endometrial hyperplastic processes were combined with adenomyosis- according to ultrasound examination a false positive result was obtained in 2 patients (13.3%), and in a hysteroscopic study we determined -1 false positive result. In patients the diagnosis of "endometrial polyp" according to the results of hysteroscopy was not confirmed in 2 women (2 false positive results 2.99%) and in 5 cases of ultrasound examination (5 false negative results 7.46%). The use of ultrasound examinations in patients with endometrial hyperplastic changes, according to our data, made it possible to identify pathology in 88.39% of cases, while the information content of the hysteroscopy was 98.21% (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Thus, the results of the subjective examination of patients in the gynecological department: complaints, anamnestic data on gynecological and extragenital pathology should be used to identify etiopathogenetic factors and the formation of risk groups for the occurrence of hyperplastic processes of endometrium. Women with cervical erosion, uterine myoma and episodes of herpetic rash on the mucous membranes in past medical history have a higher likelihood of hyperplastic processes of endometrium. The vast majority of patients (63.87%) with polyps of the body of the uterus have a combined hyperproliferative pathology, which requires an individual approach to planning the scope of diagnostic examination and the choice of treatment method. Visualization of endometrium with hysteroscopy is more informative than ultrasound for diagnosing hyperproliferative processes, including uterine polyps. Hysteroscopic polypectomy has a high level of both clinical and economic benefits as well as diagnostic value in patients with hyperplastic processes of endometrium.

IMMUNOGLOBULIN INDICATORS TO VIRUSES CYTOMEGAL AND GENITAL HERPES IN THE BLOOD SERUM OF WOMEN WITH NON-ATIPICAL ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPROLIFETATIVE PATHOLOGY.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to analyze the level of Ig M- and Ig G-antibody (Ab) for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in serum of women with non-atypical endometrial hyperproliferative pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The analysis of immunoglobulin indices to CMV and HSV-2 in serum of women with non-atypical endometrial hyperproliferative pathology. In women with uterine body polyps the presence of CMV in the uterine cavity was found in 54.8% of cases, in women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 38.3% of cases. The levels of Ig G-Ab and Ig M-Ab to CMV in serum have a clear dependence on the degree of antigen expression in endometrial tissue. HSV-2 antigens were determined in 22.58 ± 5.31% of women with uterine body polyps and in 8.33 ± 3.57% of patients with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia while increasing serum specific antibodies to HSV-2. RESULTS: Results: The results indicate that there is a clear link between viral infection of hyperproliferatively altered endometrium and the determination of positive immunoglobulin levels in peripheral blood, which may be a reliable marker of chronic persistent viral infection in a woman's body. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: In women with uterine body polyps, the presence of CMV in the uterine cavity was found in 54.84 ± 6.32% of cases, in women with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia in 38.33 ± 6.28% of cases. The levels of Ig G-Ab and and Ig M-Ab to CMV in serum have a clear dependence on the degree of antigen expression in endometrial tissue. HSV-2 antigens were determined in 22.58 ± 5.31% of women with uterine body polyps and in 8.33 ± 3.57% of patients with non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia while increasing serum specific antibodies to HSV-2. The results indicate that there is a clear link between viral infection of the target tissue (hyperproliferatively altered endometrium) and the determination of a positive level of peripheral blood immunoglobulin, which may be a reliable marker of chronic persistent viral infection in a woman.

Estimation to efficiency of the multifunction method оf endometriosis ovariеs treatment.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: The aim of the study was to improve the results of treatment of patients with endometriosis by using a combination method of therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: For two years, 136 women of reproductive age who underwent laparoscopic surgeries for ovarian endometriosis were monitored: Group I (n = 24) did not receive any hormonal treatment in the perioperative period; Group II (n = 32) - received gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists within 3 months after surgery; Group III (n = 80) prior to laparoscopic removal of the ovarian cyst used gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists - Triptorelin 3.75 mg intramuscularly for 2 months, as well as three months after surgery. The control group consisted of 30 healthy women of reproductive age with regular menstrual periods. All patients underwent transvaginal ultrasound, counting the number of antral follicles before and after treatment. Serum hormone levels (FSH, prolactin, thyrotropic hormone, anti-Mullerian hormone, inhibin B) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on Cobas e-411 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland) on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle and on day 2-3 of the first menstrual period after the end of treatment. Laparoscopic removal of the cyst was performed with exfoliation of the cyst, hemostasis on the wound surface of the bed of the cyst was performed with a bipolar electrocoagulator. Bipolar coagulation and resection of the ovarian tissue with no potential was used during surgical treatment of the ovaries, which made it possible to preserve the intact portion of the ovary as much as possible. RESULTS: Results: Analysis of ovarian reserve indices, namely number of antral foliculs, number of antral follicles, AMG, and inhibin B levels in all examined patients with ovarian endometriomas were significantly lower than those of the control group before the start of treatment: in the ovarian endometrial group group 1.26 times (p <0.01), inhibin B - 1.5 times (p <0.01), the number of antral follicles - 1.2 times (p <0.01), due to the development dystrophic changes of the follicular apparatus due to prolonged compression, hypoxia, fibrosis in the ovaries. Patients who planned pregnancy were advised to have an active sexual life before menstruation was restored. In 23 (46.9%) of 49 patients who had reproductive plans, pregnancy occurred without first menstruation after a course of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, 12 (24.5%) women became pregnant during the first three menstrual cycles. Extracorporeal fertilization was recommended for women who did not have pregnancy within 6 months of surgery. For two years in women who did not plan pregnancy, recurrence of endometriosis was not observed. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The combination of laparoscopic treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in patients with endometriosis with infertility allowed to restore reproductive function in 71.4% of women, which indicates the effectiveness of the treatment method used. In addition, it helps to achieve lasting remission and addresses the socio-social problems of women's health and maternity.
