Abstract
The assessment of the microelement status of newborns is the basis for determining the effect on the child's health of deficiency, excess or violation of the tissue distribution of macro- and microelements. Of particular interest is the participation of the fetus in trace element metabolism during gestation in the “mother – placenta – fetus” system. The purpose of our study was to establish the features of the elemental status of the “mother – placenta – umbilical cord blood – newborn” system in the conditions of military operations. All the subjects were divided into two groups: the main group included newborns whose prenatal development took place in conditions of active hostilities, the second group included newborns whose prenatal development took place in the absence of hostilities. Materials and methods. 126 full-term newborn babies were examined. All the surveyed were divided into two groups. The main group included 72 (57.14 %) newborns whose prenatal development took place in the conditions of active hostilities, the second 53 (42.40 %) newborns whose prenatal development took place in the absence of hostilities. The study of the content of essential trace elements in the hair and umbilical cord blood of newborn children, as well as their mothers. Results and their discussions. The study revealed that the levels of micro- and macronutrients in newborns from the two groups are significantly different. Based on the analysis of the content of essential trace elements in the hair of newborns and their mothers, whose pregnancy took place in conditions of active hostilities, it was concluded that the levels of iron, copper, selenium, magnesium and potassium in children of the main group are reduced, and the content of toxic elements such as cadmium, chromium and lead, on the contrary, is increased. Thus, it is advisable to introduce measures to assess elemental metabolism in various groups of the child population and timely use of macro- and microelement preparations to correct the imbalance.
