[The hormonal status and steroid receptor system of the endometrium in patients with benign tumors and endometrioid cysts of the ovaries].

Plasma concentrations of protein hormones (LH, FSH, prolactin) and steroid hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol) have been assayed during the follicular and luteal phase of the cycle in patients with benign cysts and endometrioid cysts of the ovaries. Endometrial estradiol and progesterone receptors were also examined in these patients in the midluteal phase. These studies described steroid and gonadotropic hormone secretion of both the luteal and follicular phase in the two populations, as well as steroid receptors of the secretory endometrium. The most serious abnormalities were found in the endometrium of the patients with endometrioid ovarian cysts. These disorders suggest their relationship with infertility in the patients with benign ovarian neoplasms.

[Effectiveness of hormonal therapy of endometrioid ovarian cysts].

Patients with ovarian endometriosis have been examined during the follicular and luteal phase of the ovulatory and the second phase of the anovulatory cycles. Estradiol and progesterone blood concentrations measured on operation days and during the respective ovulatory phases were in a normal range. Ovulation and endometrial hyperplasia reduced basal progesterone concentrations. Comparison of findings on steroid receptor systems in the endometrium and endometrioid ovarian cysts indicated that they were identical. The findings were different in ovulation and endometrial hyperplasia. These patterns provided criteria for endometrial response to female sex hormones by assaying endometrial intracellular steroid receptor systems in normally ovulating patients with ovarian endometriosis.

[Clinico-morphological characteristics of retrocervical endometriosis].

Clinico-morphologic parameters are described in 18 patients of reproductive age before and after hormonal treatment. There was no clear-cut correlation between morphofunctional endometrial state and endometrioid heterotopies. It did not seem possible to identify the phase of the cycle on the basis of the structural pattern of retrocervical endometriosis. Electron microscopic findings in endometriosis sites were suggestive of considerable variability of epithelial cell activity in different glands as well as within the same gland. Post-treatment structural pattern of retrocervical endometriosis does not exclude the possibility that steroids only block cyclic changes in the functional glandular epithelium, having no effect on nonactive cell elements. In spite of dystrophic changes, present in many retrocervical endometriosis sites, hormonal treatment did not eliminate endometrioid heterotopies, but only relieved pain.

[Status of the breasts and endometrium in patients with benign tumors and tumor-like structures of the ovaries].

Mammary and endometrial status was examined in 162 female patients with benign ovarian tumors and tumor-like formations. Abnormal changes were found in the brests of 69.1% of the patients, and in the endometrium of 33%. A study of the secretory endometrium in patients with benign ovarian tumors and endometrioid cysts by means of the measurement of estradiol and progesterone receptors, demonstrated definite intracellular changes concerning the transmission of an adequate hormonal signal in endometrial cells, in which with respect to mammary hyperplasia.

[Effect of danazol on the function of the estrogen and progesterone receptor systems of the human endometrium].

Quantity of estrogen- and progesterone-specific binding sites was measured in endometrial tissues of 10 females treated with danazol during 3 month in a dose of 400 mg per day after surgical treatment for endometriosis. It was demonstrated that the amount of estrogen receptors in endometrium of the patients was the same as in endometrial tissue of healthy females but the quantity of nuclear progesterone receptors was markedly increased.
