Aim: to evaluate a relationship between newborn weight and single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs5918 ITGB3, rs1126643 ITGA2, rs5985 F13A1 in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth retardation (FGR).Materials and Мethods. In this prospective comparative study, molecular genetic testing for the three polymorphic loci of hereditary thrombophilia candidate genes – rs1126643 ITGA2, rs5918 ITGB3, and rs5985 F13A1 was performed in 70 pregnant women with PE and FGR. Newborn somatometry was performed using standard methods. To assess functional effects of the rs5985 polymorphism of the F13A1 gene associated with newborn weight, we applied online bioinformatic programs GTEx Portal and HaploReg (assessing a relationship between polymorphism and level of gene transcription and related epigenetic effects).Results. The rs5985 polymorphism of the maternal F13A1 gene is associated with newborn weight according to allelic (â = 156.60; pperm = 0.05) and additive (â = 155.20; pperm = 0.05) genetic models. The polymorphic locus rs5985 of the F13A1 gene is characterized by pronounced pleiotropic regulatory effects in vivo: it determines the amino acid substitution in the A1 subunit of coagulation factor XIII (Val35Leu), associated with the activity of blood clotting factor XIII, localized in the DNase 1 hypersensitivity region, determines DNA affinity to 11 transcription factors (AP-2, CACD, EBF, ERalpha-a, ESR2, Hic1, Klf4, Klf7, SP1, ESR1 and TFAP2C), located in the region of modified histones, marking enhancers and promoters in the culture of ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm cells, placenta, fetal brain and adrenal glands, progenitor cells and myoblasts in skeletal muscle, adipocytes, brain etc.Conclusion. The rs5985 polymorphism of the F13A1 gene in pregnant women with PE and FGR is associated with newborn weight.

Aim: to analyze the association of the ESR1 gene polymorphic loci rs2234693, rs9340799, and rs3798577 with developing preeclampsia (PE) with fetal growth retardation (FGR). Materials and Methods. The study was performed while analyzing a sample of 400 women: 76 pregnant women with PE and FGR and 324 with a physiological course of pregnancy. Three polymorphic loci of the ESR1 gene (rs2234693, rs9340799, and rs3798577) were genotyped. Functional effects of polymorphic loci were evaluated by using the online programs HaploReg (epigenetic effects) and GTEx Portal (relation to gene expression). Results. The development of PE and FGR is associated with the G allele and GG genotype rs9340799 of the ESR1 gene (OR = 1.38; pperm = 0.04 and OR = 2.00; pperm = 0.04, respectively), the T allele rs3798577 of the ESR1 gene (OR = 1.46; pperm = 0.01), and the TG haplotype of the polymorphic loci rs2234693–rs9340799 of the ESR1 gene (OR = 2.08; pperm = 0.009). Polymorphic locirs2234693, rs9340799 ESR1 gene and rs3798577 have an important functional significance in human body being located in the evolutionarily conserved DNA region, affect affinity of regulatory DNA motifs to the eight transcription factors as well as ESR1 gene expression in the thyroid gland, which are positioned in the promoter and enhancer region, DNAse 1 hypersensitivity motif within diverse organs and tissues, and display an important pathogenetic effect for development of PE and FGR. Conclusion. Polymorphic loci rs2234693, rs9340799 and rs3798577 of the ESR1 gene are associated with developing PE and FGR.

У статті наведено опис клінічного випадку гострого лімфобластного лейкозу у дворічної дитини, що перебігав під «маскою» рецидивного перихондриту вушної раковини. Показано особливості даного випадку. Єдиним клінічним проявом захворювання був гіперпластичний синдром: протягом перших 3-х місяців — тільки рецидивний перихондрит, з 4-го місяця хвороби — гіперплазія лімфовузлів, з 5-го місяця — лейкеміди шкіри, артрит, ураження другої вушної раковини. Протягом перших 3-х місяців показники периферичної крові були в межах вікової норми, з 4-го місяця захворювання дитина мала помірний лейкоцитоз, без анемії, тромбоцитопенії та змін з боку лейкоцитарної формули. Гіперлейкоцитоз та бластні форми лейкоцитів були виявлені на 6-му місяці захворювання. Повільне прогресування хвороби, недостатня настороженість лікарів у зв`язку з нетиповим перебігом захворювання та відсутністю ефекту від лікування призвели до пізнього встановлення діагнозу та значного відтермінування початку лікування. Наголошується на важливості настороженості як лікарів загального профілю, так і вузьких спеціалістів щодо онкогематологічних захворювань з метою забезпечення максимально ранньої діагностики та призначення адекватної терапії. Дослідження виконані відповідно до принципів Гельсінської Декларації. Протокол дослідження ухвалений Локальним етичним комітетом установи. На проведення досліджень було отримано поінформовану згоду батьків дитини.

In the title phosphorylated compound, C20H26Cl3N2O6P, the phthalimide unit is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0129 Å) and the O atoms of this unit deviate from the mean plane by 0.080 (3) and 0.041 (3) Å. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are linked by N—H...O and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the same acceptor atom, forming inversion dimers. In addition, π–π stacking interactions between the phthalimide groups, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7736 (13) Å, and further weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds connect the inversion dimers into columns along [0\overline{1}1].

Acute respiratory disease (ARD) is one of the most common pathologies in pregnant women. During their pregnancy, about 2/3 of women suffer from one or several episodes of ARD of any severity. It is vital to study the issue because, in a certain percentage of cases, ARD pathogens may directly or indirectly cause damage to the fetus or break the normal gestation course. Optimal therapy of ARD which is often manifested in cough syndrome has not been thoroughly studied till now. The paper talks about the specifics of acute respiratory diseases (except for pneumonia) in pregnant women. The authors share their experience of including Ambroxol in the complex therapy of cough syndrome.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe complication of pregnancy accompanied by arterial hypertension, edema, or proteinuria with impaired functioning of various organs and systems. It is also an important medical and social problem, which has been one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Despite the achievements of modern medicine, the etiology of this pathology is still unknown. Recently, many scientists have especially focused on the study of genetic factors underlying the etiopathogenesis of PE, namely, the contribution of individual polymorphic loci of various candidate genes. The current study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of PE and the contribution of the polymorphic loci rs1042838 of Progesterone Receptor (PGR) gene and rs8068318 of the T-Box Transcription Factor 2 (TBX2) gene to the development of PE. The study was conducted on 219 women with PE with the mean±SD age of 26.52±5.51 years and 329 women with the physiological course of pregnancy as the control group with the mean±SD age of 26.27±4.88 years. In total, 64.20%, 68.29%, 16.44%, 98.63%, and 35.48% of women with PE had increased systolic and normal diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) values, proteinuria, edema, and overweight (BMI≥25), respectively. In the control group, 100%, 1.53%, 1.12%, and 35.48% of cases had normal SBP values with no proteinuria, DBP>90 mm Hg, edema, and overweight (BMI≥25), respectively. An association was observed between the CC genotype of the rs8068318 polymorphism of the TBX2 gene with the risk of developing PE in women with PE (OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.14-3.92, P=0.02). In addition, there was an association between the rs8068318 TBX2 polymorphic locus with lower SBP (Me=140, Q25 – Q75 130 – 142.5, P=0.01) and PBP (Me=50, Q25 – Q75 40 – 55, P
