| description | Background. Increased expression of cyclooxygenase 2 in the placenta plays a significant role in the formation of placental disorders in the pathological course of pregnancy. It was shown that a high level of expression of cyclooxygenase 2 leads to excessive synthesis of prostaglandins, which stimulate the contractile activity of the uterine myometrium and trigger the abortion mechanism. An analysis of modern literature has shown a lack of data proving the involvement of cyclooxygenase 2 in the pathogenesis of early miscarriages in cytomegalovirus infection. Objective. To establish the pathogenetic role of cyclooxygenase 2 in early pregnancy in the course of miscarriage during exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection. Materials and methods. The study included 86 women with a gestational age of 8–12 weeks, of which 46 women with spontaneous abortion (O03) and exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection (main group) and 40 women with medical abortion (O04) without cytomegalovirus infection (control group). The material for the study was peripheral blood serum, urine, homogenate of the villous chorion of the placental tissue. The content of cyclooxygenase 2, the level of IgM and IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus, low-type IgG antibodies to cytomegalovirus (avidity index) were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; the content of arachidonic acid – by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Results. During the study, women of the main group found an increase in the concentration of arachidonic acid by 59 % (p < 0.001) and the activity of the lipolytic enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 – by 58 % (p < 0.001) in the placenta villous chorion homogenate. Conclusion. With an exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection in the homogenate of the villous placenta chorion of pregnant women with spontaneous abortion, an increase in the content of arachidonic acid and the level of cyclooxygenase 2 is observed. An increased level of cyclooxygenase 2 indicates the development of pregnancy complications and can be used as a non-specific marker predictor of pregnancy termination during exacerbation of cytosis. |
