Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess free radical processes and their effect on oxygenation of hemoglobin in the blood of 18-21 weeks  pregnant women with exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection. We  examined 40 pregnant women with exacerbation of cytomegalovirus  infection and various levels of specific antibodies (IgM) at 18-21  weeks and 30 pregnant women without cytomegalovirus. The  spectrophotometric method was used to determine the content of oxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-active  products, superoxide dismutase in blood erythrocytes; thin layer  chromatography – phosphotidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine;  gas-liquid chromatography – arachidonic acid. Exacerbation of  cytomegalovirus infection changes the activity of free radical  oxidation processes, the severity of which is determined by the level  of IgM antibodies and is manifested by a decrease in superoxide  dismutase (p = 0.000) and phosphatidylcholine (p = 0.000), an  increase in phospholipase A2 (p = 0.000), lysophosphatidylcholine (p  = 0.000), arachidonic acid (p = 0.000) and TBA-active products  (p = 0.000). Accumulation of superoxide anion radical and products of lipoperoxidation in erythrocytes decreases  oxyhemoglobin (p = 0.000) and increases methemoglobin (p =  0.000). Exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection at 18-21 weeks is  associated with the enhancement of free radical lipid oxidation and a  deficiency in the antioxidant activity of superoxide dismutase. It  decreases oxygen transport properties and increases phagocytosis  by red blood monocytes; and pregnant women develop further  hemic hypoxia.
