[Lack of relationship between angiotensinogen gene m235t polymorphism and gene insertion/deletion (I/D-intron 16) and Pst I RFLP (P/M-intron 7) polymorphisms of the angiotensin I converting enzyme(ACE) gene and the development of H-gestosis. Preliminary results].

Genetic and familial factors may predispose to H-gestosis. The aim of our study was to answer the question if angiotensinogen gene m235t polymorphism, and ACE gene I/D and Pst I RFLP polymorphisms may be markers of genetic predisposition to the H-gestosis. 246 pregnant women (median age 26 years) were studied (the studied group consisted of 116 women with H-gestosis and the control group consisted of 130 healthy pregnant women). Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction method. Statistical analysis was done by means of Statistica for Windows. Genotype distribution was analyzed using chi 2 test. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. In our study we did not receive statistically significant differences in ACE and angiotensinogen genes genotype distributions and allele frequencies between the investigated groups. Based on results of the study we may suggest that I/D and Pst I RFLP ACE gene polymorphism and angiotensinogen gene m235t polymorphism do not play any significant role in the pathogenesis of H-gestosis.

Pregnancy and delivery prognostic risk score for women with congenital heart disease and acquired valvular heart disease.

Hemodynamic changes related to pregnancy in women with Congenital Heart Disease (ConHD) or Acquired Valvular Heart Disease (AVHD) require special medical care during pregnancy and especially immediately prior to, and after delivery. Following a five year retrospective study (1978-1982), the authors monitored prospectively over a period of 12 years (1983-1994), 378 pregnancies in 252 women with ConHD and AVHD. Based on the results of the initial clinical examination and monthly follow-up visits, a numerical risk score was assigned for each patient. The study showed good conformity between the predictive risk score values and the patient's condition in the course of pregnancy and delivery. Thus, this method represents a novel and potentially very useful clinical tool for management of pregnancy in patients with ConHD and AVHD.

[Effect of fetal and neonatal growth on the occurrence of some diseases in adults].

The findings of many authors show that reduced fetal growth is followed by increased mortality from cardiovascular disease in adult life. They are further evidence that cardiovascular disease originates, among other risk factors, through programming of the bodies structure and metabolism during fetal and early post-natal life. Wrong maternal nutrition may have an important influence on programming.

[The respiratory system in pregnancy].

A survey throughout world literary output concerning physiology of respiratory system in pregnancy was made in this work. Metabolical changes caused by the increase of progesterone and other substances concentration and changes of the mechanics of ventilation connected by diaphragm raising caused by the growing uterus was discussed.

[Comparison of mammography and sonography in diagnosis of breast cysts].

Mammography and sonography were done in 479 women. In mammography cysts were suspected in 10 cases, in 20 cases solid lumps and in 49 cases no changes were detected. In sonography in 7 cases cysts were found in 23 solid lumps, in 49 no changes were detected. It was proved that sonography is much more accurate in detecting cysts than mammography.
