Circadian dynamics of monocyte phagocytic activity in women during lactation complicated by iron deficiency.

Biorhythms of phagocytic activity of peripheral blood monocytes were studied during lactation in healthy women and in women with iron deficiency. Circadian organization of monocyte function was characteristic of healthy nursing women. Strain in the system was associated with elevation of the mean circadian values for reserve potential of the absorption and digestive capacity of phagocytes. Circadian rhythms of the phagocytic and digestive capacity of peripheral blood monocytes were leveled during lactation complicated by iron deficiency. Decreased coefficient of the parameters activation is an early manifestation of latent iron deficiency. Decrease in the basic function parameters and reserve potential are directly related to the decrease in serum ferritin concentration.

Clinicopathologic study of breast carcinoma occurring during pregnancy and lactation.

In a 16-year study of 703 cases of female breast carcinomas seen at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, seven cases were found in pregnant women and another seven cases in lactating women. Thus, pregnancy and lactation complicated breast carcinoma about two times per 100 female breast carcinomas. During the same period there were 51,058 deliveries, for a rate of three breast carcinomas per 10,000 deliveries. When women in the most active reproductive age group (20-40 years) were considered, there were 309 cases of female breast carcinomas. Therefore, 5% of women with breast carcinoma in this age group had concurrent pregnancy or lactation. The patients presented late, and the prognosis was generally poor. While the clinical features of inflammatory carcinoma are similar in most countries, the characteristics of some of the histologic types of breast neoplasia encountered in pregnancy and lactation in Nigerian women appear to differ from those reported in most European and American studies.

Pregnancy, delivery and lactation in hyperprolactinaemic women.

A report is given of 87 pregnancies in hyperprolactinaemic women treated with bromocriptine. The high prolactin level in 11 cases was caused by hypophyseal adenoma. If the plasma prolactin level exceeded 5000 mU/l during pregnancy, bromocriptine was administered until delivery. If the initial prolactin value was over 1000 mU/l, the prolactin level was measured during pregnancy, delivery and the lactational period. After weaning, the prolactin level was again elevated in the majority of cases. During pregnancy, delivery and lactation, complications which differed significantly from the usual were not observed, pregnancy and nursing took place normally. Breast feeding was not contraindicated in any of the cases. Among the newborns, adaptation disturbances and congenital malformations, showed the usual frequency. In the authors' opinion pregnancies which occur during the treatment of hyperprolactinaemic patients need increased care. Complications during pregnancy, delivery and nursing period were not more frequently observed either in the mother or the newborn. The hyperprolactinaemic syndrome did not deteriorate during gestation and lactation, but its normalization can not be expected.
