[Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in vaginal content].

Flame photometric determinations of sodium, potassium, and calcium, moreover magnesium concentrations according to a complexometric method in 197 healthy nonpregnant women aged 16-46 years were performed in serum and fluid of the vagina. The concentrations of K+, Ca++, and Mg++ in vaginal fluid showed marked increase of some 5, 6, respectively 4 times from those of serum. The sodium concentration of the vaginal fluid is half of serum. The concentration of magnesium in vaginal fluid showed a significant increase of a quarter in comparison with serum after application of hormonal contraceptiva. The origin of vaginal fluid is discussed.

[Amine colpitis].

Significance of KOH test and isonitril (isocyanide) reaction tested in 104 patients was compared with our microbial culture results. In Gardnerella vaginalis as well as in no spores forming anaerobic germs the KOH test was not and the isonitril reaction was only insignificant reliable. Both tests are not able to substitute the procedures of culturing germs including those of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum.

[Diagnosis of blastomyces infection in genital region (author's transl)].

Bismuth-containing Sabouraud's glucose agar was used as an indicator medium. Preliminary experience is reported in this paper. Blastomyces infection was properly identified in some 82 per cent of all cases checked, and falsely negative results cropped up in 18 per cent. The causes are discussed. The medium is considered by the authors are being suitable for the diagnosis of blastomyces infection in the genital region of women.

[Magnesium level in the serum and erythrocytes during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium].

Complexometric determinations of serum magnesium levels, moreover partly of Mg concentrations in whole blood, and withal determinations of hematocrit in 489 healthy pregnancies, parturients, puerperants (1 to 10 days post partum), and nonpregnant women were performed. By aid of these values we were able to calculate Mg concentrations in 100 ml erythrocytes (Mg E 100). The apparent decrease of serum Mg during pregnancy may be founded according to the changes of the plasma volume. However, actually the total (absolute) ammount of serum Mg is increased in pregnancy. We suppose some influences on serum Mg due to stimulation of the thyroid gland in pregnancy and further those of Mg being released from the muscular cells of uterus those been destroyed after delivery. The increased erythrocyte Mg during pregnancy and post partum confirm the view that there are no corresponding relations between Mg concentrations of serum and those of erythrocytes. The possible causes of the increase of erythrocyte Mg in pregnancy are discussed in detail.

[Behavior of serum magnesium level during abortion].

Double determinations of whole blood- and serum magnesium levels were according to a complexometric method as described by Schwarzenbach (Hôlasek and Flaschka's procedure) in 134 females (66 healthy pregnant women, 68 abortions). Further, hematocrit was determined in these women. By aid of these values we were able to calculate Mg-concentrations/100 ml erythrocytes in all cases. Serum magnesium levels were depressed in the same relation in abortions and normal gravidae. Therefore, we do not confirm the results of other authors (22) asserting a typical significant decrease of serum-Mg in abortions. We warn against excessive differential-diagnostic interpretation of depressed serum magnesium in abortions. Magnesium concentrations in 100 ml erythrocytes were found significant increased over in abortions against women going through a successfully pregnancy. The cause of this magnesium increase is believed in reactive increased pouring out young partly immature erythrocytes containing high magnesium concentrations caused by losses of blood.
