[Dynamics of the activity of redox enzymes in peripheral blood lymphocytes of the newborn with a history of chronic intrauterine hypoxia].

Study of the cytochemical characteristics of enzymatic activity of peripheral blood cells in the newborns with a history of medium-severe-chronic intrauterine hypoxia revealed shifts in the levels of succinate dehydrogenase and a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase. These data imply that changed enzymatic activity of dehydrogenases is an unfavorable prognostic sign indicating failure of adaptation and deterioration of reactivity in the early neonatal period.

[Characteristics of lymphocytic enzyme status of the newborn after metabolic therapy of pregnant women].

The enzymatic synthetic activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes was changed in the newborns whose mothers suffered from habitual miscarriages and were administered courses of metabolic therapy as part of combined pathogenetic treatment (basis therapy). Metabolic therapy brought about positive shifts which manifested by a reliable activation of succinate dehydrogenase and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, this, in its turn, creating favorable conditions for the functioning of the mother-placenta-fetus metabolic system and being conductive to a better adaptation of the newborns in the early neonatal period. Metabolic therapy brought about a twofold reduction of the incidence of fetal hypoxia and hypotrophy.

[Characteristics of enzyme activity of leukocytes in women with history of habitual abortion].

Leukocytic dehydrogenases (succinate and alpha-glucose phosphate dehydrogenases) and acid and alkaline phosphatase hydrolases activities were cytochemically assayed in 20 healthy women with normal menstrual cycles (controls) and 34 ones with habitual abortions. Ovulation in health was associated with a significant elevation of SDH, alpha-GPDH, and alkaline phosphatase activities. The second peak of enzymic activation, less marked, was recorded on days 20-24 of the cycle.

[The importance of cytological study of lochia in assessing uterine function in the puerperal period].

Cytologic analysis of lochia in 118 puerperae helped distinguish 5 types of cytograms. A normal postpartum period is characterized by a gradual transition from an inflammatory to regenerative type. Subinvolution of the uterus is associated with a prolonged persistence of the inflammatory regenerative type, this pointing to deceleration of endometrium purification processes.

[Choices in postoperative management of women after cesarean section and myomectomy].

Myomectomy has been performed during cesarean section in 205 women with a uterine myoma. Guidelines for surgical and anesthesiological management, fluid and transfusion therapy during and after the operation were obtained for this population of women. A stepwise approach was determined to prevent postoperative complications of interventions of a greater scope during cesarean section in women with uterine myoma.

[Effect of antenatal administration of diethylstilbestrol and progesterone on the blood system of newborn rats].

The effect of sex hormones administered to pregnant women on the blood system of their progeny was revealed. The changes were noted in different portions of the system: the peripheral blood, bone marrow, spleen, liver. The sex hormones intensified the hemopoiesis in the bone marrow and the spleen of the fetus and inhibited it in the liver.
