The aim of the study is to define the role of abnormalities in the formation of estriol hormones in the development of hormonal dysfunction of fetoplacental system. There were examined 39 placentas from women with exacerbation of chronic cytomegalovirus infection at the third trimester of pregnancy and IgG antibody titer 1:1600 and 30 placentas from women with latent CMV infection and titer 1:400. The activity of androstenedione dehydrogenase was found out with histochemical method on cryostat sections of freshly frozen tissues of placentas by Lloyd’s method. The assessment of intensiveness of histochemical reaction was done with cytophotometric method by Scion program. Estradiol in homogenate of placenta was measured with immune-enzyme method. The quantity of nuclei of placenta syncytiotrophoblast in the state of apoptosis was done with cytophotometric method on paraffin sections stained by ISEL method. By the results of the study the exacerbation of CMV infection at the third trimester of pregnancy leads to the decrease of intensiveness of histochemical reaction in placentas to androstenedione dehydrogenase till 32.1±2.88 pixel/mcm2 (at the latent course it is 54.2±4.31 pixel/mcm2, р<0.001), and in homogenate of placenta to the decrease of estradiol till 18443.2±117.53 pmole/l (at the latent course of the disease it is 28977.7±158.13 pmole/l, p<0.001), on paraffin sections in syncytiotrophoblast by the increase of nuclei number in the state of apoptosis till 5.0±0.03% (at latent course of the disease it is 1.2±0.001%, р<0.001) and vacuole formation, which leads to destructive damages of syncytiotrophoblast cytoplasm. The obtained results prove that the exacerbation of CMV infection at the third trimester of pregnancy causes the decrease of estriol hormones formation, which is accompanied by the damage of morphostructure and exchange processes in cell elements of placenta.
