BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF MISCARRIAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTRAPLACENTAL ACCUMULATION OF 137Cs.

Unlabelled: The impact of the environment on human health in modern conditions cannot be underestimated. The study of thepathogenesis of disease is impossible without establishing the factors of destabilization of biological membranes.The article highlighted the problem of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense associated with the accumulationof radiocesium in the placenta.

PREVENTION OF REPRODUCTIVE LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH INTRAPLANTAR ACCUMULATION OF RADIONUCLIDES.

Unlabelled: The materials of the article are based on the results of our past studies of morphological and immunohistochemical features of placental damage due to 137Cs incorporation.

Objective: to determine the effectiveness of radioprotective therapy in preventing reproductive losses and perinatal consequences associated with the incorporation of radionuclides in the placenta.

Materials And Methods: According to the research design, the first group consisted of 153 women with reproductive losses in anamnesis and signs of termination of the current pregnancy.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF PLACENTAL DAMAGE DUE TO THE INCORPORATION OF 137Cs.

Objective: to investigate the morphological and immunohistochemical features of placental damage due to theincorporation of 137Cs depending on the scenario of pregnancy completion.

Materials And Methods: The study material consisted of placentas from 60 women with reproductive losses inanamnesis and signs of termination of the current pregnancy (first group) and placental samples from 30 women with an uncomplicated gestation and an unencumbered anamnesis (control group). The detailed study required the distribution of placental samples from the first group into subgroups.

A Study of the Quantitative Relationship between Yield Strength and Crystal Size Distribution of Beeswax Oleogels.

Beeswax and beeswax hydrocarbon-based oleogels were studied to evaluate the quantitative relationship between their yield strength and crystal size distribution. With this aim, oleogels were prepared using four different cooling regimes to obtain different crystal size distributions. The microstructure was evaluated by polarized light microscopy.

Risk of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in the Ukrainian Population Using a Combined Effect of Genetic Variants: A Case-Control Study.

We assessed the predictive ability of a combined genetic variant panel for the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) through a case-control study. Our study sample was from Ukraine and included 114 cases with idiopathic RPL and 106 controls without any pregnancy losses/complications and with at least one healthy child. We genotyped variants within 12 genetic loci reflecting the main biological pathways involved in pregnancy maintenance: blood coagulation (, , , ), hormonal regulation (, ), endometrium and placental function (, ), folate metabolism () and inflammatory response (, , ).
