摘要:

Glycoproteins of mouse endometrium and oviduct were analyzed by lectin overlay blotting of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)-separated whole-cell extracts, sampled at each of the four phases of the normal estrous cycle. Nine endometrial and 5 oviductal glycoproteins were found only in one of these two organs or showed cyclic changes in their expression as revealed by wheat germ or Ricinuscommunis I lectin blotting. Glycoproteins of the same molecular weight showed different expressions in the endometrium as compared with the oviduct. Thus one can conclude that the expression of the endometrial and oviductal glycoproteins is cyclic, but organ specific.

摘要:

The effects of transcervical, intrauterine monofilaments on guinea pig uterine microflora were determined. The results indicated that bacteria were transferred to the uterus during the insertion process, although in sham control animals these bacteria were eradicated within 10 days. In the presence of an intrauterine substrate the bacteria within the uterus persisted for up to 6 months. Electron micrographs showed that bacteria were adhered to the monofilament within a biofilm, although some bacteria were planktonic.

摘要:

Activated protein C (APC) levels were measured in the plasma of patients with benign and malignant gynecologic tumors preoperatively, and on postoperative days 1 and 7. Preoperative levels of APC were found to be significantly low in both groups of patients compared to a group of healthy subjects. On postoperative day 1 levels of APC decreased significantly in both groups of patients compared to preoperative levels. By the 7th postoperative day, levels of APC in patients with benign tumors had increased significantly compared to postoperative day 1; levels in patients with malignant tumors, however, remained low. Our findings imply that there is a substantive correlation between gynecologic tumors, gynecologic surgery and the coagulation inhibitor, APC, which, in turn, can presumably be used to identify gynecologic patients who are at high risk for venous thrombosis.

摘要:

Total thyroidectomy is often accompanied with airway problem and hypoparathyroidism leading to infertility and pregnancy losses, and its effects are thus rarely reported on delivery. A patient with postoperative hypoparathyroidism carried a pregnancy to successful delivery, but suffered uncontrollable hypocalcemia and sudden respiratory distress at spontaneous labor onset. Both the fetal and maternal outcome were good. The acute deterioration in the hypoparathyroidism and airway problem at labor differed from the complications in previously reported cases.

摘要:

We report 2 patients with pelvic-peritoneal tuberculosis and elevated serum and peritoneal fluid levels of Ca-125. The first was a young and infertile women who had cul-de-sac nodularity and dysmenorrhea. The other was postmenopausal and presented with weight loss and ascites. While a preoperative diagnosis of endometriosis was made in the former, intraperitoneal malignancy was considered in the latter. The diagnosis of pelvic-peritoneal tuberculosis was reached by laparoscopic-directed biopsy in both patients. Serum levels of Ca-125 returned to normal limits following antituberculous drug treatment.

摘要:

A large ovarian follicular cyst developed on day 43 of low-dose tamoxifen adjuvant therapy for a premenopausal breast cancer (total drug intake: 860 mg). The serum estradiol level increased to almost ten times the pretreatment level. However, the FSH and LH decreased slightly, and the serum progesterone level remained almost unchanged. It is hypothesized that tamoxifen acted directly on the ovaries to provoke excessive proliferation of the granu-losa cells in a follicular cyst, causing it to grow very large, and resulting in elevated E2 levels.
