[Perinatal aspects of serological diagnosis in urogenital chlamydiosis].

The pregnancy course, labor, delivery and early neonatal period were studied in pregnant women with Chlamydia trachomatis infection as well as in their children. The levels of specific antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis pgp 3 plasmid protein in maternal sera as well as perinatal complications were comparatively analyzed. According to the results, examination of anti-pgp3 antibodies is a highly specific and useful tool for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis infection at its active stage in pregnant women.

[Functional morphology of the ovary appendages]. / Funktsional'naia morfologiia pridatka iaichnika.

The dimensions and structure of parovarium (PO) were studied in women of different age groups. It is established that PO size increases up to fertile age and is reduced after the menopause. Epitheliocytes of PO tubules in women of fertile age are characterized by high synthetic and secretory activity. The shape of epitheliocytes changes from cuboidal in neonates to columnar in fertile age and to squamous--after the menopause.

In the experiment performed on 15 rabbits, action potentials as a group of spikes and separate pick fluctuations have been revealed electrophysiologically in the round ligament of the uterus and the proper ligament of the ovary. In various parts of the myometrial supravascular layer and in the ligaments of the uterus under normal conditions and at leiomyoma nicotinamidedinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase (NADH), nicotinamidedinucleotide-phosphate reductase (NADPH) and alkaline phosphatase activity has been determined both in the myometrial supravascular layer and in the ligaments of the uterus. At leiomyoma NADH activity is elevated, and that of NADPH--decreased in comparison with that in the intact organ. Capillary density in various parts of the myometrial supravascular layer at leiomyoma of the uterus does not noticeably++ differ from that under normal conditions. The data obtained prove the conclusion on a morphofunctional unity of the myometrium and the ligaments of the uterus. By the aggregate of a higher parameters of the enzymes investigated in the area of the posterior part of the isthmus of the uterus, a conclusion is made on a specific functional importance of this part in comparison with others.

Bilateral parovarian pathology experimentally induced in 15 female rabbits decreased the hormonal activity of their ovaries as manifested in shrinking of both ovaries, reduction of the follicles number, lowering of the level of blood estradiol and progesterone, alteration of a colpocytological pattern.
