Color doppler assessment of the intervillous circulation in all trimesters of pregnancy
Abstract
Color Doppler sonography can be successfully used for the assessment of the intervillous circulation throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy. The first trimester pregnancies were assessed by the transvaginal route while second and third trimesters pregnancies were evaluated using transabdominal route. Color flow mapping was used for visualization of the outlets of the spiral arteries into the intervillous space and the blood flow inside it. Pulsatile, arterial-like intervillous flow signals and spiral arteries signals were assessed by the use of pulsed Doppler and expressed by resistance (RD and pulsatility (PD indices, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and temporal averaged maximum velocity (TAMV). Velocities of blood flow of pulsatile signal in the intervillous space increased significantly towards the mid-pregnancy.

Laparoscopic treatment of uterine myomas - long-term results and pregnancy outcome
Abstract
When uterine myomas are enucleated by pelviscopy (laparoscopy), it is more difficult to find all myomas and to close the hysterotomy than in laparotomy. It has been proposed that later pregnancies are more prone to complications, in particular uterus rupture, and that amelioration of symptoms is inferior. Since 1988, we have performed more than 95% of the myomectomies in our clinic by pelviscopy. In the years 1995-1999, we sent questionnaires to 1143 patients who had undergone an enucleation of uterine myomas at least 2 years previously.









I. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective - development of the lung
Abstract
Despite dramatic improvement in the three past decades in the perinatal care hyaline membrane disease and RDS continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality of premature babies accounting 28-70% of neonatal deaths. Immaturity of the lungs is the main predisposing factor for development of chronic lung disease in as many as 20% of survivors. Therefore, maturation of the lungs is still a primary concern for the obstetrician who is taking care of the pregnant women as well, as for the neonatologist responsible for the care of the newborn baby.



II. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective-surfactant, assess of lung maturation
Abstract
Surfactant. In 1957 Clements isolated from lung tissue a surface-active material which he called surfactant. It is composed of phospholipid with small amounts of neutral fat, cholesterol, and protein. The primary active molecule is saturated dipalmytoyl phosphatidylcholine. Other components of surfactant, including unsaturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol, are important in making surfactant more fluid and facilitating re-spreading. Surfactant lowers surface tension by adsorbing to surface and displacing water molecules. In the lung, the presence of surfactant counteracts the tendency of the lung to collapse at the end of breath, allowing a functional volume of gas to remain in the lung at the end of expiration (functional residual capacity).



III. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective - could we influence the fetal lung maturity?
Abstract
Could we influence the fetal lung maturity? Many experimental and clinical studies can give us a positive answer. It is well known that fetal lung maturation is affected by a number of hormones and pharmacological agents, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), glucocorticoids, thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and tri-iodothyronine (T3); agents influencing the intracellular content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), such as beta-adrenergic agonists and aminophylline; substances increasing intracellular calcium or acting on protein kinase C, etc.



IV. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective - postnatal care of the immature lung. Surfactant therapy
Abstract
Postnatal care of the immature lung. There are two principal goals in postnatal care of immature lung: 1) to replace an endogenous surfactant deficit; 2) to maintain adequate ventilation (effective lung recruitment) with minimal damage of the immature lung.



V. Immaturity of the lungs: neonatal perspective - maintenance of adequate ventilation
Abstract
Maintenance of adequate ventilation. Nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy in infants with RDS improves oxygenation, decreases oxygen requirements, reduces the need of intubation, mechanical lung ventilation, and mortality. Earlier application of the CPAP therapy is beneficial. Combination of early surfactant administration with CPAP therapy seems a promising approach to treatment of the tiny baby.



Very low-birth-weight babies - philosophy of care
Abstract
The majority of a very low-birth-weight (VLBW) babies (<1500 g) due to their immaturity need special support and often intensive care. The main problems of the VLBW babies are primarily related to the varying degree of physiological immaturity of several organ functions. These premature infants may be particularly vulnerable to stressful effects of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) environment. In addition, acutely ill premature infants have a little ability to cope with stressful experiences because of their immaturity and lack of physiological reserves.

Histological study after administration of estrogens and acetylsalicylic acid on breast tissue
Abstract
Objective: The latest years showed the great increase of incidence of the breast cancer. Simultaneously the agents which play role in neoplasmatic processes are not clear. We have taken under considerations the fact that the numerous of patients who take estrogen preparations and the preparations of the acetylsalicylic acid is still increasing. We examined the influence of these preparations on the histological structure of the breast. Estrogen hormones are often used by young women as contraceptive preparations and by older women as replacement hormone therapy. The acetylsalicylic acid is a component of many analgetic and antipyretic drugs and it used in prevention of the cardiac infarct and in any other diseases.



Morphological changes in parenhyma of the liver of rats during long-term estrogen therapy
Abstract
Objective. Oral steroid contraceptives were marketed in the United States in 1960s. They became one of the most widely used methods of reversible contraception in developing countries. Oral contraceptives are being used every day by more than 50 mln women around the world for the prevention of unwanted pregnancy as well as by women in replacement therapy. Estrogen replacement offers significant benefits to many postmenopausal women. The benefits and risks as they pertain to each individual patient should be reviewed with her in details. The aim of this study was to establish the influence of estrogen therapy on parenchyma of liver. The first descriptions of a relationship between Replacement Hormonal Therapy (RHT) use and the development of benign hepatic lesions were reported in early 1970s. Histopathologic diagnosis of benign liver tumors has been reported as focal nodular hyperplasia adenoma, solitary hyperplastic nodule and focal cirrhosis. Investigation of the possible relationship between HRT and liver cancer has provoked considerable controversy. Synthetic sex steroids are believed to potentate cholestasis, hypervascularity, microsomal enzyme induction.

Neoadjuvant and systemic platinum containing chemotherapy in locally advanced and recurrent carcinoma of the cervix uteri
Abstract
Objective: Locally advanced or recurrent cervical cancer is highly responsive to treatment. Radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for patients with this cancer. The role for chemotherapy is as yet unproved and is currently under investigation in the management of these conditions. The rational for neoadjuvant chemotherapy is to induce sufficient tumor response and volume reduction before the tumor vascular supply is compromised by extensive radiation. It is also hoped that it would help reduce and control distant metastases. Also often the only possible treatment available for patients who have recurrent disease or those who present with primary metastatic disease is systemic chemotherapy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy in these patients.

The patients, who go to that part, are carefully selected: women with uncomplicated pregnancies between 38 and 42 weeks of gestation, and a normal start of labour. In the other section, comprising 8 delivery rooms, all other patients are tended to. The midwives alternate between both sections, usually for one year at a time.



Parvovirus B19 - a cause of non-hydropic third trimester intrauterine fetal death
Abstract
Objective: Parvovirus В19 or fifth disease is a common viral disease. Clinical symptoms are rash, fever, and sometimes arthralgia. The virus can also affect bone marrow, liver, and heart muscle. — In pregnancy, the virus can cause fetal anaemia, hydrops, and fetal death, mainly during the second trimester. In a prospective study of pregnant women В19 antibodies were found in 60% as a sign of previous infection. One of the women, with no antibodies for Parvovirus В19, suffered an intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) at 37 gestational weeks (GW). There were no hydropic changes. Parvovirus В19 DNA was found in the placenta and in maternal serum at delivery as well as three weeks before the fetal demise. In Danderyd Hospital an extensive protocol for investigation of IUFD has been in use for many years. By this protocol approximately 45% of the IUFDs can be explained.



Infection and preterm labor
Abstract
Preterm birth is one of the greatest unsolved problems in modem obstetrics.

Perinatal fetal care: still actual problem
Abstract
Current demographic situation in Russia is characterized by low birth and high mortality rates. In this situation reduction of the perinatal mortality and morbidity that are still high have to be of great importance. There are more than 4500 deliveries per year in Moscow Center of Family Planning and Reproduction (obstetrical clinic of Russian State Medical University) with gradually decreasing perinatal mortality rate (1997 — 3,0%, 1998 — 1,87%). We believe that only well organized pre-, ante- and intranatal care, intensive care of the neonates can provide the decrease ofperinatal morbidity and mortality — the main goal of perinatologists.

I. Cesarean section or vaginal delivery
Abstract
Optimal cesarean section rate is a compromise between the lowest possible number of cesarean sections compatible with the best clinical outcome. However, there is today a fear that the obstetrician will not be sued for having petformed a cesarean section but by not performing cesarean section. It is important to remember that the preoperative complication rate in cesarean section is about 11%, the majority of complications occurring in conjunction with emergency cesarean section, and taking the form of injection of hemorrhage. The risk of maternal death is 9-12 times greater after cesarean section than after vaginal delivery.



II. Cesarean section or vaginal delivery
Abstract
Achieving an appropriate national level of the cesarean section rate entails the investment of considerable resources in continuous education at the local level, and perinatal audit systems permitting daily review of all cases scheduled for cesarean section. At a national (or international) level, maintaining awareness of current policy and knowledge regarding cesarean section also entails the regular participation of consultants and postgraduate students at national and international meetings and workshops. Such initiatives can cultivate in obstetric staff an awareness of prevailing trends and of advances in our knowledge.



High activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in trophoblast tissue during spontaneous abortion
Abstract
Objective: Extracellular matrix degrading enzymes — matrix metalloproteinases are responsible for many aspects of tissue remodelling. Both matrix metalloproteinase type 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase type 9 (MMP-9) are involved in human implantation and placentation. These enzymes play a crucial role in some pathological processes occurring in the early pregnancy. Low activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 during trophoblast invasion could lead to the development of preeclamsia. Also, the process of spontaneous abortion may be mediated by increased activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Thirty years experience of a national program for resuscitation of asphyctic new-born infants in Sweden
Abstract
In 1970 a national program for resuscitation of new-born infants was established. This has than been revised 3 times last in the year 1997. The fundamental principles of the program have however remained unchanged. These are: Restricted use of oropharyngeal suction, in case of absent spontaneous breathing assisted ventilation is started 30-60 sec after birth by bag and mask ventilation using a soft round face mask and a selfexpanding bag. Assessment of the effectiveness of assisted ventilation is made by recording heart rate. In case heart rate is > 100 beats / min. the ventilation procedure is unchanged and continued until regular spontaneous breathing occurs. Only in cases with persistent bradycardia more than 2 min. after birth ventilation using endotracheal intubation is used.

Edwards Syndrome: Echographic picture, prenatal screening in decrease of population frequency
Abstract
Introduction: Edwards Syndrome (ES) is the second most frequent one among all chromosomal aneuploidyes (ChA) after Dawn Syndrome. The population frequency of ES averages 1/7000 newborns.
Objective: To study US-screening efficiency in diagnosis of trisomy +18 in fetuses.



Retrospective analysis to state the results of treatment and labor outcome with intrauterine infections
Abstract
201 pregnant women were delivered by cesarean section with intrauterine infections: 86 of them (42,7%) were early diagnosed and took 2 courses of medical treatment, 115 (57,3%) of late infection diagnostic and they took only one treatment course. 75 pregnant women with infections joined the first group and delivered at once; 28,6% of women had prior treatment and were operated by ceserean section. To discuss the outcome of labor one took into consideration the rate of disorder of functional fetus position (ultrasound scanning, CTG, doppler, hormone tests).












Ecology and perinatology
Abstract
Objective: Dynamic assessment methods improvement in high-risk pregnants. Complex of prophylactic measures development aimed to create optimal conditions for in utero fetus development and perynatal pathology decrees.



New approach to the combined treatment of endometrial cancer
Abstract
Objective: One of pathognomistic symptoms in endometrial cancer is an appearance of genital blood-streaked discharge in menopause. Some times the uterine bleeding is so profuse, accompanied by fall of hemoglobin in peripheral blood, that the performance of operative intervention is impossible.






Age distribution of cervical cancer in Saint Petersburg
Abstract
Objective: From 1980 to 1996 years, incidence of cervical cancer (CC) decreased from 13,10/0000 to 8,220/0000 increased indices (9,50/0000) were registered at 1997 year in St. Petersburg. The main aim of our study was to identify the age distribution of cervical cancer (CC) in St. Petersburg at 1997.



Pathophysiology of increased nuchal translucency in chromosomally abnormal fetuses
Abstract
Objective: In about 80% of fetuses with trisomies, 21, 18 or 13 and Turner syndrome there is increased collection of fluid in the neck region that can be visualized sonographically at 10-14 weeks of gestation as increased nuchal translucency thickness. The pathophysiology of this common phenotypic expression of different chromosomal abnormalities is uncertain but there is some evidence that the underlying mechanism may be cardiac failure, possibly due to abnormalities of the heart and great arteries, and altered composition of the skin. The latter may be due to a gene dosage effect of the three, rather than the normal two copies of genes, found in trisomies causing an alteration of the extracellular matrix in the skin or abnormal development of the heart and great arteries.



Problems of defense of Russian citizens interests in partnership of insurance companies with health care institutions

Transvaginal ultrasonography as the screening method for endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women with uterine fibroids
Abstract
Objective: The postmenopausal women with uterine fibroids are considered of high risk for endometrial pathology such as hyperplasia and cancer. For early diagnostics in this group the transvaginal sonography may be most effective.



Primary herpes simplex virus infection in pregnancy outcomes
Abstract
Objective: The study of herpes virus infection during pregnancy is necessary because of high rate of perinatal losses and birth of babies with severe brain damages. It's well known that most severe fetal diseases take place in the first episode of genital herpetic infection during current pregnancy.






Patogenesis-based effect of magnesium - sulfate in toxemia of pregnancy
Abstract
Objective: The universal significance of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of toxemia of pregnancy doesn’t exclude the necessity of the correct pathogenesis - based proves. Nowadays it is believed to be justified to consider the development of toxemia of pregnancy in connection with endothelial dysfunction. That is why the purpose of this research is studying the influence of the treatment with magnesium sulfate on the indicates of intravascular - platelet hemostasis.



The assesment of the reproductive function in women with bone loss
Abstract
It is known that cessation of estrogen secretion is well-accepted to have a major role in pathogenesis of bone loss. The aim of the study is to analyes the state of reproductive system of examined patients with osteopenia and great rist for fractures. We examined 150 histories of women patients with osteopenia and great risk for fractures. The average age of patients is 41,2+0,4 years. All the women were diagnosed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Tscore of bone mineral content is -2,13+0,07 SD in the zone L1-L4. The patients have the beginning of menstrual function at age 14,3+0,2 year. 6 % of them have disorders of menstrual cycle such as unregular menses, olygomenorrhea. The amount of pregnancies resulted in delivery is 1,8+0,3, resulted in abortions is 5,6+0,05.









Eduction of b2-glycoprotein I in placental tissues of women with recurrent pregnancy loss
Abstract
Objective: To study the consequence of anti phospholipid antibodies (aPL) on pregnancy complications we investigate localization of b2-glycoprotein I (b2-GP I) in placental tissues of women with recurrent pregnancy loss. Having a regulatory role in blood coagulation, b2-GP I appear significantly related to most frequent complications (thrombosis and fetal loss) in patients with aPL.
