Introduction: Endometrial receptivity is largely determined by the immunophenotype of endometrium, especially uterine NK-cells (uNK). Immune component is directly involved in the formation of favourable microenvironment for the blastocyst implantation and placenta formation, but the way it changes during the maturation of endometrial tissue in healthy fertile women is still underexplored.

Methods: The endometrium was collected from 47 healthy oocyte donors after controlled ovarian stimulation: 23 women on the day of oocytes retrieval (OR) and 24 women on the term of implantation window (IW).

Aim: NKp46 is an NK cell receptor uniquely expressed by NK cells and a small subset of innate lymphoid cells. In our previous studies, we suggested a tight connection between the activity of NK cells and the expression of NKp46 and supported the clinical significance of NKp46 expression in NK cells in women with reproductive failures. In this study, we investigated the expression of NKp46 in NK cells in the peripheral blood of women in early pregnancy and analyzed its association with pregnancy loss.

Objective: The aim: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of complications and side effects of CSE and DPE as a method of analgesia.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 137 patients who had a vaginal birth using one of two, CSE or DPE methods of analgesia. All of them were divided into two groups: Group I - 54 women (DPE group) and Group II - 83 women (CSE group).

A blinded multicenter investigation: Accentuated NK lymphocyte CD335 (NKp46) expression predicts reproductive failures after IVF.

Laboratory of Immunology, Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology named after academician O. Lukyanova of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, Mayborody str 8, Kyiv, 04050 Ukraine; Jena University Hospital, Department of Obstetrics, Placenta Lab, Jena, D-07747 Germany.

The peripheral blood NK cell diversity is highly complex. Recent studies have described more than a thousand phenotypes sharing NK cell receptors (NKRs), across the leukocyte lineages. Previously, we have found that accentuated NK p46 phenotype has prognostic value for NK cytotoxicity status, and is characteristic for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).

NIPT with the analysis of all chromosomes for aneuploidy screening. Chromosomal microarray 750K, routine karyotyping and Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were used for the analysis of the clinical situation Sonographic fetal abnormalities were accompanied by the placental mosaicism (trisomy 16), fetal partial uniparental disomy of the short arm of chromosome 16. NIPT with the analysis of all chromosomes is a powerful tool to identify placental mosaicism, which in turn can manifest itself as nonspecific abnormalities in biochemical markers, placental dysfunction, growth retardation, fetal malformations, preterm birth, etc.

Objective: The aim: To carry out a comparative statistical analysis of obstetric and perinatal complications in singleton and multiple pregnancies once assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are applied according to the records taken from archival materials (maternity and delivery records) and identify the clinical features of multiple pregnancy.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Over the period of 2017-2019, 522 women gave birth in LELEKA Maternity Hospital LLC after using assisted reproductive technologies and 331 women among them were followed-up in the women's health center of LELEKA maternity hospital. Among these women (522) with singleton pregnancy 445 women gave birth, while in multiple pregnancy - 77.
