[The significance of vaginal fluid substances as growth media in genital mycosis].

By means of thin layer chromatography amino acids, lipids and phospholipids were detected in the vaginal fluids of pregnant and nonpregnant women with and without vaginal yeast colonization. Though pregnancy and/or yeast colonization do not seem to alter qualitatively the spectrum of amino acids and lipids of the vaginal fluid, an influence is supposed of these substances - like that of glucose - on growth and metabolism of the yeasts and on the clinical manifestation of vaginal candidosis.

Amino Acids

[Bacterioscopic aspects of vaginal infections].

Vaginal swabs of 1000 patients were investigated by microscopic preparation and bacteriological culture. Culture was superior to microscopic investigation unequivocally. For orientation and other defined questions the microscopic preparation may be sufficient. Cultural screening methods are sufficient for expanded diagnosis in cases with vaginal infections.

Bacteria

[Experimental studies into effects of various antiseptics on vaginal flora].

Substances of antiseptic action were tested for their intravaginal applicability in gynaecology and obstetrics. Serial dilution and diffusion tests were conducted to that end. The results were limited by the properties of the substances tested. Only few of the antiseptics tested seemed to be suitable for intravaginal application.

Anti-Infective Agents, Local

[New aspects of fluorodiagnosis and -therapy].

The most common infections in the vaginal and cervical regions are covered in this paper. Latest results are briefly described, but no general propositions are made. Insufficiently established microbiological findings were left unconsidered.

[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.

[Registration of cytostatic effects on cultured cells in vitro and their current significance for individualized chemotherapy of tumors in advanced ovarian carcinoma].

In vitro tests of cell cultures have revealed individual responses of ovarian carcinomas to various cytostatic agents, the most effective ones being cyclophosphamide and trenimon. The role of pretherapeutical sensibilization tests for the chemotherapy of advanced ovarian carcinomas was investigated in a controlled clinical trial as part of a cooperative study. The survival curves of patients treated individually according to the given test result were at any time more favourable than those of a group nonindividually treated with trenimon. No significance between the two curves could be demonstrated on the basis of our preliminary results.
