In 3 years of life, information on atopic dermatitis (AtD) symptoms was collected. Skin tests with allergens were performed in mothers and in children aged 1 year. Objective of the research – to correlate the sensitization of a child at the age of 1 year and sensitization of his mother with subsequent possible development of AtD in his early childhood. Study materials and methods: mother's sensitization and sensitization of a child at 1 year of age were examined separately for the possible appearance of AtD diagnostic signs at the age of 1, 2, 3 years of a child and in general in early childhood. The results of each study are presented by several methods of statistical processing: 1) analysis of conjugation tables, incl. hierarchical log-linear; 2) logistic regression models in which: a) the sensitization degree was considered, b) the sensitization was analyzed as a qualitative sign, in the presence of a papule. Results and discussion: рrospective monitoring of the cohort shows the dynamics of AtD frequency in early childhood, the number of sensitized mothers and their children. Mother's sensitization was not significant for AtD signs appearance in a child in early childhood. The sensitization of a child at the age of 1 year showed the importance of chicken egg allergen in relation to AtD signs appearance in early childhood. Study result: conclusions about the possible relationship of sensitization with AtD development in a child in early childhood.

Assessment of the practice of breastfeeding support in a department of neonatal and premature infant pathology of the Tambov Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital (TRCCH) after 3–4 years of becoming a WHO/UNICEF Baby Friendly Hospital. Patients and methods. Mothers were questioned using specially designed questionnaires at their admission to the department and at discharge from hospital. Overall, 356 mothers were questioned at admission and 327 at discharge. The results were processed on the SPSS.19 statistical programme. Frequency distribution, mean values (± standard deviation) and Student’s t-coefficient were determined. Results. The practice of supporting breastfeeding in the department consisted in observance of the 10 steps of successful breastfeeding: mother and infant remaining together (98.2%), breastfeeding on an infant’s demand (91.3%), breastfeeding at night (98.6%), breast milk extraction for infant feeding and lactation stimulation (88.6%), informing mothers about the benefits and technique of breastfeeding (90.5%). The percentage of breastfed infants significantly increased by the time of discharge from the department – to 89.4% (at admission – 71.9%; p < 0.0001), among them exclusively breastfed infants – to 66.5% (at admission – 45.3%; p < 0.0001). Conclusion. The practice of breastfeeding based on current international recommendations is successfully supported in the neonatal department of TRCCH. Nevertheless, breastfeeding parameters might be considerably improved due to attainment of continuity in the work of maternity clinics and TRCCH and optimization of the practices of breast milk extraction, storage and use in the department.

This is the first report of a clinical case of subcutaneous adiponecrosis of a newborn with acute early neonatal period from a mother with risk factors in the form of diabetes, hypoglycemia during pregnancy, chronic infections, emergency surgical delivery due to acute fetal hypoxia. The article contains algorithm of the differential diagnostics of diabetic embryo-fetopathy and metabolic disorders in a newborn from a mother with diabetes.

Materials and methods: researchers analyzed 54 cases of newborns of different gestational age (GA) that were in the ICU after birth due to severe condition; all newborns had combined hypoxic hemorrhagic brain lesion detected by neurosonography – periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) of various severity. Catamnesis follow-up was performed up to 2–2,5 years of age. The control group consisted of 20 newborns, comparable in GA, body weight at birth, with an Apgar score of at least 6 points in the 1st minute of life and without changes in neurosonography. In the neonatal period, serum concentrations of S100, BDNF, VEGF, ALCAM, DR5 were studied in dynamics using the quantitative ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) according to a standard protocol. Results: the concentration of factors contributing to destructive changes in tissues (S100, DR5, ALCAM) in the serum, was in inverse correlation with the level of VEGF and BDNF. The latter had a direct correlation relationship. VEGF directly correlated with CNTF by the end of the 2 nd week of life. Results of catamnesis follow-up: 43 children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, 25 with spastic diplegia, 18 with spastic tetraparesis, and 11 without evident motor disorders. In 28 children I–III level of motor disorders was determined according to GMFS, in 26 children – IV–V level. At the age of 2 years, all children underwent MRI of the brain and gliio-atrophic changes were detected. Significant differences in the implementation of neurological consequences were found between the number of children with grade I and II IVH and PVL and III–IV degree IVH and PVL. Conclusion: children with PVL and IVH III–IV degree have a high risk of severe neurological outcomes – spastic tetraparesis, impaired motor activity by GMFS IV–V level, mental retardation and symptomatic epilepsy.
