[Changes in heparinocytes during the administration of Depositon and Sequenz-Ovosiston].

During hormonal contraception with Deposiston (once a week pill) and with Sequenz-Ovosiston (14 days mestranol 0.1 mg, 7 days mestranol 0,08 mg and 2 mg chlormadinone acetate) doesn't take place a change of basophil granulocytes (heparinocytes) in blood. Under Deposiston the small elevation is somewhat lengthened, under Sequenz-Ovosiston the elevated phase is similar to those of the normal menstrual cycle. The smaller risk of thromboembolia under heparinocytopenia preventing contraceptives is discussed.

[Modification of the thrombocyte function using hormonal contraception. 1. Thrombocyte count, thrombocyte propagation and platelet aggregation under hormonal contraception].

The number of platelets, spreading and aggregation of platelets in plasma of 102 women treated with Ovosiston, an anticonceptive agent, were investigated. A significant increase of the number of platelets, spreading and aggregation of platelets was observed. Conclusions from isolated observations are not possible.

Relations between fibrinogen degradation products and heparinocytes.

In the emergency reaction there is a short-time increase of the values of basophilic leukocytes in connection with normal values of fibrinogen degradation products (FDP). After diminuation of basophils FDP are to be detected. In the chronical ill and under different hormonal contraceptives these two processes are overlapped disturbing a unique negative or positive correlation of heparinocytes and FDP. Concerning the situation under standardized conditions or in single cases worthful conclusions are possible about compensation or decompensation of a latent disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Arterial Occlusive Diseases

[Liver function tests under the influence of sequential treatment using ethinyl estradiol-norethisterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol-chlormadinone acetate].

30 young healthy women were investigated during the first therapy cycle with ethinyl-estradiol-norethisterone acetate and ethinyl-estradiol-chlormadinone acetate as a sequential regime. The following laboratory data were achieved by each of the investigated group of young women: serum aminotransferase (GOT and GPT), serum alkaline phosphatase and alpha-amylase-activity in serum, serum proteins, serum cholesterol, serum bilirubin, serum ZST, serum TTT and the indocyaningreen-clearance of the liver. The serum protein pattern was determined by the paper electrophoretic method. A significant decrease of the aminotransferase GPT was viable during the sequential therapy with ethinyl-estradiol and norethisterone acetate. This viable decrease of the GPT was induced through the application of norethisterone acetate to estrogen. The alkaline phosphatase was significant lightly lower and the beta-globuline lightly elevated at the end of the therapy cycle. The sequential therapy with ethinyl-estradiol and chlormadinone acetate induced only a significant increase of the ZST in serum.

[A gradual method for a more physiological hormonal contraception].

The multiple physiologie stages of method by oral hormonal anticonception was reported, which have been in use in combination. Since 1969 about 362 women at the average age of 27,5 years received 10281 cycles, that means in an average cycles from 28,4 days, the stage method from 11/10 days or 7-7-7 days rhythmus.

Rheumatoid factor (antigammaglobulin) in women: effects of oral contraceptives use of its prevalence.

A total of 14,856 women, including 921 pregnant subjects, were tested for rheumatoid factor; 4,562 were using oral contraceptives at the time of testing. The prevalence of rheumatoid factor increased directly with age. The age-adjusted prevalence of rheumatoid factor was lower in oral contraceptive users than in nonusers but this difference was not statistically significant. Rheumatoid factor remained positive in 39% of subjects undergoing retesting after an average interval of 16 months. Those women with higher titers of rheumatoid factor were more likely to remain positive (81%). Of the women having positive tests, 5.4% were identified as having rheumatoid disease.

Contraceptive steroid toxicology in the Beagle dog and its relevance to human carcinogenicity.

Problems associated with the use of the Beagle dog in chronic toxicological studies of contraceptive steroids are described. A short review is presented on the occurrence of spontaneous tumours in dogs and in bitches of various breeds. The current status of knowledge of canine reproductive hormones and endocrinology is outlined, together with effects of contraceptive steroids. The pathology and histological classification of spontaneous and induced mammary neoplasia in the dog is discussed and compared with breast cancer in women. A series of recommendations are included for future research in this field which it is hoped may resolve some of the outstanding issues and lead to a more suitable toxicological model for contraceptive steroids.

Etiology, clinical features and prognosis in secondary amenorrhea.

A clinical investigation of 356 patients with secondary amenorrhea revealed that 95% of patients with postpill amenorrhea and 56% of patients with anorexia nervosa recovered in 6 years. The corresponding recovery rates for patients with psychogenic amenorrhea and amenorrhea following self-induced weight loss were 72% for both groups, and in patients with the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome and idiophatic functional amenorrhea the recovery rates at 6 years were 64 and 61% respectively. Unlike the other groups with functional amenorrhea, patients with the amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome had impaired ovarian responsiveness to exogenous gonadotropins. Bromocriptine treatment resulted in disappearance of the galactorrhea and restoration of the menses and/or ovulation in nine of 18 patients; of these three became pregnant. The effect of bromocriptine did not persist for long after treatment ceased, and permanent recovery was recorded only in four patients. The group with functional amenorrhea included 34 patients who wished to become pregnant. Gonadotropin treatment was successful in 20 patients, clomiphene-hCG in two, tamoxifen in two, bromocriptine in two, and combined bromocriptine and clomiphene in one. Thus, the overall pregnancy rate in patients with functional amenorrhea was 79%. The groups with ovarian amenorrhea inclutients with assumed ovarian failure responded to large doses of exogenous gonadotropins by ovulation and three became pregnant. Ovarian wedge resection was ineffective in all five cases with polycystic ovaries, but two patients became pregnant after treatment with clomiphene and chorionic gonadotropin, and one with exogenous gonadotropins.
