Материал и методы. В исследование были включены 59 мужчин с ТСТ в возрасте 18—49 лет. Тяжесть состояния больных по шкале APACHE II при поступлении составила 18,6±2,4 баллов. Всех больных в зависимости от исхода заболевания разделили на 2 группы: А — выжившие, Б — умершие. Контрольную группу составили 12 здоровых мужчин-доноров в возрасте 19—36 лет, у которых определяли содержание 8-и половых стероидов. Для сравнительного анализа концентрации гипофизарных репродуктивных гормонов и альдостерона использованы нормы методики. Исследование концентрации гормонов проводили в динамике посттравматического периода на 1-е, 3-и, 5-е, 7-е, 10-е и 15-е сутки. Изучение гормонального профиля плазмы проведено с помощью тест-наборов фирмы BSL (США) на иммуноферментном анализаторе Stat Fax 2100 фирмы Awareness Technology Inc. (США). Определяли пролактин, лютеинизирующий гормон (ЛГ), фолликулостимулирую-щий гормон (ФСГ), прогестерон (П), 17-гидроксипрогестерон (17-ОН-П), дегидроэпиандростерон-сульфат (ДГЭА-С), андростендион (А), тестостерон (Т), дигидротестостерон (ДГТ), эстрон (Э1), эстрадиол (Э2), альдостерон. Результаты. Впервые проведено комплексное исследование фазовых изменений профиля 11-ти половых гормонов плазмы в посттравматическом периоде у мужчин. Типовыми изменениями содержания гормонов в плазме при этом являются повышенные уровни пролактина и их фазовые колебания, нормальные уровни ЛГ и ФСГ с тенденцией к последующим фазовым изменениям ЛГ и уменьшению ФСГ. Концентрация прогестерона в плазме была повышена, а 17-ОН-П понижена после травмы. Уровни А и ДГЭА-С колебались в пределах нормы с тенденцией к уменьшению ДГЭА-С в ходе процесса. Содержание Т и ДГТ в плазме в посттравматическом периоде было существенно понижено, а Э1 и Э2 — повышено. Умерших больных в целом отличали более высокие уровни А, ДГЭА-С и эстрогенов, как отражение дисрегуляционной патологии и осложнений. Выявленные изменения уровня гормонов важны для понимания патогенеза ТСТ и ее последствий. Это может послужить основой для разработки новых методов терапии с использованием половых гормонов как адаптогенов в постреанимационном периоде. Ключевые слова: тяжелая сочетанная травма, половые гормоны: пролактин, ЛГ, ФСГ, П, 17-ОН-П, андрогены, эстрогены.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Objective: to perform a complex study of typical plasma sex hormone changes and their functional significance in males with severe concomitant injury (SCI). Subjects and methods. Fifty-nine males aged 18—49 years who had SCI were enrolled in the study. The admission severity was an APACHE II score of 18.6±2.4. According to the outcome of the disease, all the patients were divided into 2 groups: A) survivors; B) deceased persons. A control comprised 12 healthy male donors aged 19-36 years, in whom the levels of 8 sex steroids were measured. The standard procedures were used to comparatively analyze the concentrations of pituitary reproductive hormones and aldosterone. Hormonal concentrations were studied over time on posttraumatic days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15. The plasma hormone profile was examined by test kits (BSL, USA) on a Stat Fax 2100 device (Awareness Technology Inc., USA) for enzyme immunoassay. Prolactin, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone (P), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH-P), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), androstendione (A), testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and aldosterone were determined. Results. The complex study of phasic changes in the profile of 11 plasma sex hormones was first conducted in males in the posttraumatic period. Moreover, the typical plasma hormonal changes were elevated prolactin levels and their phasic variations, normal LH and FSH levels with a tendency for further phasic LH changes and FSH reduction. After the injury, the plasma concentration of P was increased and that of 17-OH-P was decreased. The levels of A and DHEA-S varied in the normal range with a tendency for DHEA-S to be lower during the process. In the posttraumatic period, the plasma content of T and DHT was substantially reduced and that of E1 and E2 was increased. The deceased patients generally showed higher levels of A, DHEA-S, and estrogens as a reflection of dysregulatory pathology and complications. The changes revealed in hormonal levels are of significance in understanding the pathogenesis of SCT and its sequels. This may serve as a basis for the development of new therapy methods using sex hormones as adaptogens in the postresuscitative period. Key words: severe concomitant injury, sex hormones, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, androgens, estrogens.</p></trans-abstract></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Волков А.
