[Comparison of combined treatment for venous ulcers in postphlebitic syndrome and use of PGE-1--introductory remarks]. / Porównanie skojarzonego leczenia owrzodzen podudzi w zespole pozakrzepowym z zastosowaniem prostaglandyny PGE-1--doniesieniewstepne.

We have included PGE-1 to the clinical management of varicose ulcers of the leg. We found the results very interesting and promising. The literature on using PGE-1 for this disease entity is rather poor and the biomechanics is still unclear.

[Results of tests with clomiphene and choriogonadotropin in men with oligozoospermia treated with longterm antiestrogens]. / Wyniki testu z klomifenem i choriogonadotropina u mezczyzn z oligozoospermia przewlekle leczonych przeciwestrogenowo.

The evaluation was made of the response to testosterone and oestradiol in the test (50 mg twice daily for 10 days) and HCG test (6000 units of Biogonadyl through 2 days) performed on 21 normospermic (fertile) males and on patients with normogonadotropic, idiopathic oligozoospermia, positively (12 patients) or negatively (24 males) reacting to the longterm Clostilbegyt treatment (50 mg daily for 240 days). It was shown that patients with oligozoospermia who do not react with an increase of spermatozoa during the longterm antioestrogen treatment had higher response of oestradiol in the dynamic test (+ 118.9%) than the normospermic males (+ 60.8%) or the oligozoospermic who showed positive semenologic response to the treatment (+ 58.8%). The similar reaction of oestradiol was shown in the HCG stimulation. In the hiperoestrogenism phenomenon the authors noticed the cause of lack of positive semenologic effects of the longterm antioestrogen treatment.
