A personal method has been used to study spontaneous kinetic activity of the uterus in 50 women during puerperium following miscarriage between the VIIIth and XIIth weeks. Modifications induced were evaluated in several sessions (510 recordings) and at various periods of time, following administration of: 50 mg of 17B oestradiol, 200 mg natural progesterone, 500 mg of natural progesterone, 250 mg of 17 hydroxyprogesterone caproate and 500 mg of 17 hydroxyprogesterone caproate. In the case of some of the patients, hysterotonometry was evaluated following intravenous oxytocin loading. The results pointed to an activation of the uterine pacemaker after oestrogenic loading, and a clear-cut progestinic block of contractile activity.

[Anesthesia and resuscitation in major interventions in gynecologic surgery].

A number of biohumoral parameters have been looked at pre-, intra- and post-operatively in patients subjected to radical hysterectomy according to Wertheim, with lymphadenectomy according to Meigs or Valle, in the Obstetric and Gynaecology Clinic of Turin University. Patients' ages were between 26 and 60. On the basis of the premise that during and after every surgical operation metabolic type changes relating to the quality and quantity of organic fluids, serous proteins and electrolytes, haemoglobin, clotting times and bilirubin production are observed, a treatment that enables prophylaxis to be carried out and cuts complications to the minimum is recommended.

[Bacterial vaginosis and premature membrane rupture: an open study. Preliminary data].

We tried to identify a correlation between bacterial vaginosis and PROM with the aim of proposing a future screening for pregnant women at risk for premature rupture of membranes. We made two vaginal bacteriological tests on women pregnant at 24th and 34th week, and we repeated the same test when it proved positive for infection after therapy. We did 375 tests and our study group was composed of 249 pregnant women, aged between 24 and 35. We also evaluated some variable factors as ultrasonographic gestational age redetermination, number pregnancies of oral contraceptives or IUD use, presence of risk factors presence (recurrent abortion, previous PROM, glucose metabolism alteration, immunosuppression, condylomatosis). 171 tests proved positive (total positivity percentage: 47.2%). The most common micro-organism was Ureaplasma urealyticum (49.1%) that was related to PROM in 66.7%. This result contracts with affirmations of some England authors who think that Ureaplasma hasn't an important role in PROM. This fact, if related to the other data we obtained with our study, actually current, shows a strict correlation between PROM and bacterial vaginosis, but also a different distribution of vaginal infections in our country in comparison with English countries.

[Lipoprotein(a) and the cardiovascular risk during estrogen-progestin replacement therapy in postmenopause].

A homogeneous group of 37 patients, aged between 52 and 61 years was considered in relationship to the metabolic response during hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). A free endocrinological-metabolic pathology control group, formed by 40 patients, who were not treated with any therapy, was also considered. Study-trial was comprehensive of a 123 months follow-up, with some periods of study at 0, +6, +12 months. Metabolic responses of lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein A and B during the different follow-up steps were determined. Total and fractioned cholesterol and triglycerides were also determined. Significant correlations were shown between Lipo(a) and Apo B and also between Lipo(a) and LDL in both groups considered Lipoprotein(a) was determined by ELISA methodic and turbidimetric methodic. The aim of our study was to verify the importance of the new markers of the atheromatous risk. The reduction of lipoproteins middle value observed in the HRT group shows a little, but however present, estrogens action to the Lipo(a) itself. This fact testifies to the benefit of the use of HRT in post-menopause also as reg ards an evaluated cardiovascular risk inhibition.
