[Incidence of the Blastomyces and Trichomonad infections during the use of hormonal and intrauterine contraception].

The vaginal smear of 200 women treated with hormonal contraceptives (group A), of 45 women using an IUD (group B) and of 220 women representing an untreated control group (group C) was investigated on infection with vaginal yeasts and trichomonads. It was found, that infection with vaginal yeasts in women of group A was significantly higher (23,7%), than in women of group B (9,0%) and group C (9,5%). The occurance of trichomonads was also different between the groups. It was about 6,6% in group B and 6,8% in group C but only 2,1% in group A. From these results we concluded, that hormonal contraceptives on vaginal yeast infections act as a stimulating factor.

Vitamin K and coumarin anticoagulants: dependence of anticoagulant effect on inhibition of vitamin K transport.

Coumarin anticoagulants inhibit the release of plasma clotting factor VII by vitamin K in liver slices from vitamin K-deficient animals without inhibition of protein synthesis. When the ratio of vitamin K to coumarin anticoagulant is kept constant, but the concentrations are increased, the inhibition disappears. This suggests that the pharmacological action of coumarin anticoagulants depends on irreversible inhibition of normal vitamin K transport to its site of action. At higher concentrations of vitamin K the inhibition can be surmounted, because vitamin K can enter the cell by an alternate route that is not inhibited by coumarin anticoagulants.
