[The positive rate of hepatitis C virus antibody detected by the second generation method in pregnant women and influence of pregnancy and delivery on HCV infection].

The C100-3 antibodies to HCV can be examined with a Chiron kit but only the antibody to non-structure-4 can be. The antibodies in sera of pregnant women were examined by a passive hemagglutination method (PHA), which is one of the second generation kits used in detecting antibodies to the hepatitis C virus. We studied the percentage of pregnant women in our hospital with antibodies to HCV, and tried to compare the C100-3 antibodies with PHA results in pregnant women. The results are as follows. 1) In the sera of 235 pregnant women both the PHA antibody and the C100-3 antibody were examined. Two women (0.85%) had the C100-3 antibody and 4 (1.7%) had the PHA antibody. 2) Two women positive for both PHA and C100-3 antibodies were positive for PCR during pregnancy. But 2 women positive for PHA only were negative for PCR during pregnancy and positive after delivery. So 4 women positive for PHA had HCV RNA. 3) Next, the sera of 1,198 pregnant women were examined by the PHA method, and nine women were positive. Only four of the 9 were positive for C100-3. 4) It is speculated that the positive rate for anti-HCV antibodies in the sera of pregnant women in Nagoya city is 0.75%. 5) There were 3 cases that were negative for PCR during pregnancy and positive after delivery. So it is speculated that HCV can be activated after delivery.

[Pharmacokinetic and clinical studies on cefodizime in gynecologic field].

Pharmacokinetic and clinical studies on a new cephalosporin antibiotic, cefodizime (THR-221, CDZM), were performed and the results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. At about 84 minutes after a bolus injection of 1 g dose of CDZM, the drug was transferred well into tissues of internal genital organs and remained there at therapeutic levels for 285 minutes. The drug was also transferred quickly and sufficiently into exudate from pelvic dead space and its levels were still kept at high levels at 6 hours after administration. 2. CDZM was given to 8 women affected with gynecologic infections. The outcome of CDZM therapies showed that the drug was effective in all 8 of patients (100%) clinically and bacteriologically. 3. Notable adverse effects or abnormal laboratory test results were not observed except for 2 patients with transient and slight elevation of transaminase levels. Based on these results, it may be concluded that CDZM is a highly effective and a very safe antibiotic for the treatment on infectious diseases in gynecologic field.

Colloid degeneration of the skin--a case report.

A patient with multiple nodules on the chin and scalp is presented. Histologically, the nodules were composed of amorphous materials which also completely filled up the whole dermis. Histochemical observation indicated that the amorphous material in the nodule was a kind of glycoprotein. Electron microscopic examination revealed that the material consists of short wavy fibrils, 60 to 100 A in diameter, and of a low electron-dense amorphous substance. Biochemical examination supported the view that the amorphous material is so-called sialomucoid. The nodules were finally diagnosed as colloid degeneration of the skin (nodular type).
