Intrauterine development of fetus in the conditions of oil technogenesis

The oil industry is a leader in the negative impact on all areas of the natural environment. Polluting the atmospheric air, soil, surface and underground waters, oil production processes expose the population living in the adjacent territory to the dangerous effects of xenobiotics. The reproductive system is the most sensitive to environmental problems. The aim of the study was to identify the features of the intrauterine development of fetuses of women living in the territory of oil technogenesis in comparison with the fetuses of women living in a territory without it. A comparative assessment of the frequency of blastogenesis defects in the studied groups was carried out as a result of the analysis of embryological protocols of women who received infertility treatment using methods of assisted reproductive technologies. In order to assess the frequency and structure of defects in embryogenesis and fetogenesis, an analysis of cases of congenital malformations was carried out according to the data of the primary medical documentation of the Medical Genetic Consultation. The identification of differences in the development of embryos was determined by the Pearson agreement criterion. Assessment of statistically significant differences in indicators in the study of the frequency and structure of congenital anomalies in fetuses identified by ultrasound and in newborns, the structure of factors that influenced the mother during pregnancy, which could lead to the development of congenital anomalies and complications of the course of pregnancy, was carried out using t-Student's criterion. Defects of cleavage and blastulation of embryos of women in the observation group were revealed. It was found that the frequency of birth of children with congenital anomalies in the territories of oil technogenesis is statistically significantly higher than in the territories without it. In the observation group, congenital anomalies of the respiratory system detected by ultrasound examination of the fetus, congenital anomalies of the genitals, urinary organs, musculoskeletal systems, multiple malformations revealed antenatally are statistically significantly more common.
