OBJECTIVE
To identify the histological features of placental tissue with an increment in pregnant women.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted on the basis of the Dagestan State Medical University. The results of the study of 43 sequels were analyzed: the 1st group consisted of 23 pregnant women with placenta increment, the 2nd control group was a group of 20 women with a physiologically occurring pregnancy.
RESULTS
All women of the 1st group were of the late reproductive period and 60% of them had varicose veins of the genitals. In the 1st group, smaller placenta sizes and weights were significantly more common than in the 2nd group. Adaptive changes are noted in the chorial tissue against the background of chronic circulatory disorders in the form of the development of ischemic infarcts in the placental tissue and fullness of chorionic villi in patients of the 1st group. Signs of placental dystrophy in the form of necrotized villi and a massive interstitial fibrinoid (with obliteration of the interstitial space) were visualized in the 1st group and were completely absent in the 2nd group. Sclerosis of the villi stroma was recorded in every second woman of the 1st group and very rarely in the 2nd group. Moderate involutive-dystrophic changes in the form of foci of fibrin deposition, syncytial kidneys, calcinates were statistically significantly more often observed in women of the 1st and less often in the 2nd group of the study.
CONCLUSION
It is shown that along with damage to the placenta structure in pregnant women, microcirculation disorders occur in the chorionic villi during increment, compensatory and adaptive reactions develop with hypervascularization phenomena and an increase in the area of the microcirculatory bed. It is possible that changes in the hormonal background of late reproductive age that occur in this category of women and disorders in the endothelial system with varicose veins confirm the participation of these factors in the formation of placental increment. However, further scientific research is necessary.
