Гипоплазия легких и персистирующая легочная гипертензия при ложной диафрагмальной грыже являются причиной неблагоприятных перинатальных исходов. Неудовлетворенность исходами внутриутробной хирургической коррекции врожденной диафрагмальной грыжи (ВДГ) определяет поиск альтернативных нехирургических пренатальных методов лечения легочной гипоплазии при ВДГ. Цель. Изучить влияние обратимого селективного ингибитора специфической фосфодиэстеразы 5 типа (тадалафила) на развитие легких плодов крыс в модели врожденной диафрагмальной грыжи. Материалы и методы. Проведено экспериментальное исследование возможности коррекции гипоплазии легких у плодов крыс при моделировании ложной диафрагмальной грыжи нитрофеном (100 мг перорально, однократно на 9-й день беременности). Результаты. Врожденная диафрагмальная грыжа была зафиксирована у 12,5 % потомства. Подкожное введение обратного селективного ингибитора специфической фосфодиэстеразы 5 типа (ОСИ ФДЭ-5) беременным крысам (0,83 мг/кг тадалафила с расчетом на массу тела и коэффициент пересчета на вид лабораторного животного, в течение 10 дней, с 9-го дня беременности) увеличило количество альвеол в легких плодов (на 22 % при p ≤ 0,05), увеличило площадь сосудов микроциркуляторного русла и объем паренхимы легких (на 1,25 % и на 1,13 % больше соответственно, при p ≤ 0,05). Заключение. Полученные результаты проведенного впервые в Российской Федерации эксперимента по изучению влияния тадалафила на легкие при врожденной диафрагмальной грыже плода сопоставимы с данными авторов, использовавших силденафил, однако применение тадалафила представляется более оптимальным ввиду удобства его введения при потенциальном применении на практике.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Background. Pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension in congenital diaphragmatic hernia are the cause of adverse perinatal outcomes. Dissatisfaction with the outcomes of intrauterine surgical correction of CDH determines the search for alternative non-surgical prenatal methods of treating pulmonary hypoplasia in CDH. Objective. To study the effect of a reversible selective inhibitor of specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (tadalafil) on the development of fetal lungs in rats in a model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Design and methods. An experimental study was conducted on the possibility of correcting fetal lung hypoplasia in rats when modeling a diaphragmatic hernia with nitrophen (100 mg orally, once on the 9th day of pregnancy). Results. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia was recorded in 12.5 % of offspring. Subcutaneous administration of tadalafil to pregnant rats (0,83 mg/kg, for 10 days, from the 9th day of pregnancy) in the lungs of fetuses increases the number of alveoli (by 22 % at p ≤ 0.05), the area of microvasculature vessels and the volume of lung parenchyma increases (by 1.25 % and 1.13 % more (at p ≤ 0.05)). Conclusion. The results obtained from the first experiment conducted in the Russian Federation to study the effect of tadalafil on the lungs in congenital diaphragmatic hernia of the fetus are comparable with the data of the authors who used sildenafil, however, the use of tadalafil seems more optimal due to the ease of its administration for potential practical use.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>беременность</kwd><kwd>гипоплазия легких</kwd><kwd>крысы</kwd><kwd>ложная диафрагмальная грыжа</kwd><kwd>нитрофен</kwd><kwd>тадалафил</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>congenital diaphragmatic hernia</kwd><kwd>nitrophen</kwd><kwd>pregnancy</kwd><kwd>pulmonary hypoplasia</kwd><kwd>rats</kwd><kwd>tadalafil</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Chandrasekharan PK, Rawat M, Madappa R, et al.
