[Central nervous system lesions in fetuses and newborns in intrauterine infection caused by respiratory viruses]. / Porazheniia tsentral'noi nervnoi sistemy plodov i novorozhdennykh pri vnutriutrobnoi infektsii, vyzvannoi respiratornymi virusami.

Congenital respiratory viral infection is followed in the CNS of fetuses and newborns by grave dyscirculatory disturbances with glia proliferation and nervous tissue edema. The process is mainly localized in the periventricular regions of the brain ventricles. Neurologic and morphologic consequences of these damages in the CNS of fetuses and newborns need further studies.

[Ultrastructural pathology of the placenta in respiratory-syncytial viral infection and mycoplasmosis]. / Ul'trastrukturnaia patologiia platsenty pri respiratorno-sintsitial'noi virusnoi infektsii i mikoplazmoze.

Electron microscopy of the placentas affected by respiratory-syncytial virus and mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma urealyticum) revealed the most pronounced alterations in the syncytiotrophoblast structures. Destructive changes in the respiratory-syncytial infection were associated with a direct reproduction of viral particles. Two types of alterations (acute and long-lasting) reflecting two stages of the infectious process are reported in the Mycoplasma infection.

[Placental changes in toxicoses in the second half of pregnancy]. / Izmeneniia platsenty pri toksikozakh vo vtoroi polovine beremennosti.

An investigation of 88 placentas in toxicosis of the second half of pregnancy has detected symptoms of the immune alteration detailed by means of an electron microscopic analysis and immunomorphological investigations with the help of luminescent sera against immunoglobulins A, M. G and C3 fraction of complement. The alterations found are indicative of the participation of immune mechanisms in the formation of placental insufficiency and their important role in pathogenesis of gestational toxicosis.
