[Induction of labor by prostaglandin F 2 alpha in the treatment of hydatidiform mole].

Labour was induced by intravenous infusion of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in 12 patients with hydatidiform mole. After a mean infusion time of 15 h 51 min and a mean dosage of 25,1 mg PGF2alpha, the infusion of 5 to 40 mug PGF2alpha/min led to 1 to 3 cm dilatation of the cervix. In this way, it was possible to perform a mild evacuation of the molar tissue with vacuum curette or fixation forceps and curette. Under continued PG-infusion the uterus was contracted in the time of evacuation of hydatidiform mole. At present the preoperative dilatation of the cervix by means of PG-induced labour and vacuum curettage is the method of choice in the management of hydatidiform mole because of its effectiveness and few undesirable side effects.

[Immunochemical investigations on the protein of the "pregnancy zone". X. Demonstration of immunosuppressive activities of the pregnancy-associated alpha2-glycoprotein (pregnancy zone protein) by means of the macrophage electrophoretic mobility test (author's transl)].

By means of the macrophage electrophoretic mobility (MEM) test the supposed immunosuppressive activity of the pregnancy-associated alpha2-glycoprotein (pregnancy zone protein) could be demonstrated significantly. Pregnancy sera and sera of nonpregnant women with hormonal contraception containing this pregnancy protein showed an immunosuppresive activity, too. On the contrary, serum of male donors with the blood group AB and human serum albumin had no inhibitory effects. The results suggest that the pregnancy-associated alpha2-glycoprotein rather influences the afferent limb of the immune response and does not interfere with the activity of the mediator (migration inhibiting factor).

[Immunological aspects in EPH gestosis].

On the base of the fundamental knowledge on immunological reactions in the normal pregnancy the disease of the EPH-gestosis is described from the immunological viewpoint. The following facts may be significant: 1. The increased occurence of specific and nonspecific crossreacting antibodies against liver, kidney and placental tissue in the blood of pregnant women and puerperas. 2. The increased occurence of placental infarctions and throphoblastic defects as well as fibrinoid deposits in the placenta, the arteriols and in the kidney. 3. Changes in the protein composition of blood. 4. The changed maternal cell-mediated immunity.

[Influence of labor induced by prostaglandins on the metabolism and blood coagulation system of the mother and child during labor].

22 pregnancies at term were terminated by dilatation of the uterine cervix, low amniotomy, and by intravenous administration of PGF2alpha or PGE2. The average infusion time was 4 hours 10 minutes, and the average total dose of PGF2alpha amounted to 2,0 mg and of PGE2 0,2 mg. Parameters of acid-base changes, carbohydrate and energic state changes, gas metabolism, and changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis in mother and in fetus were analyzed during labor and after birth. Labor activity and fetal cardiac action were monitored cardiotocographically. Checked against 50, and for the coagulation 12 uncomplicated spontaneous deliveries, we have found no disadvantageous changes in the parameters investigated.

[Immunochemical demonstration of soluble antigens in the protein fractions of placental tissue].

Protein fractions were prepared from placental tissue by homogenization, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The antigens detected in these fractions by absorbed antisera against placental tissue and pregnancy serum partly occur in the pregnancy and fetal serum too. The other antigens, which are found neither in pregnancy serum nor in fetal serum, could be specific for placental tissue. Their possible significance is discussed.

[Isolation of "pregnancy-zone" proteins using immuno absorbents and study of possible enzyme activities].

The purification of the pregnancy zone protein by means of immunoadsorbents is described. The pregnancy zone protein antibody was isolated from an absorbed rabbit antiserum and coupled with CNBr-activated sepharose. The pregnancy zone protein was isolated from pregnancy serum by the specific antibody cross-linked with sepharose. Contaminating serum proteins were eliminated by "inverse" immunoadsorption using antibodies against these proteins coupled with sepharose. An immunoelectrophoretically pure pregnancy zone protein was obtained. By means of a combination of immunoprecipitation and enzyme reaction in agar gel could be excluded that the pregnancy zone protein possesses activities of the following 11 enzymes: ceruloplasmin, leucine amino peptidase, alkaline phosphatase, carboxylic esterase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase, cholinesterase, acetyl cholinesterase and oxytocinase.

[The action of prostaglandin E2-induced pains on the metabolic and clotting systems of mother and child during birth (author's transl)].

11 pregnancies at term were terminated by dilatation of the uterine cervix, low amniotomy, and by intravenous administration of PGE2. The average infusion time was 4 hours 20 minutes, and the average total dose of PGE2 amounted to 0.2 mg. Parameters of acid-base changes, carbohydrate and energic state changes, gas metabolism, and changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis in mother and in fetus were analysed during labor and after birth. Labor activity and fetal cardiac action were monitored cardiotocographically. Checked against 50 uncomplicated spontaneous deliveries, we have found no disadvantageous changes in the parameters investigated.
