[Clinical study of post-term pregnancy].

One hundred fourteen cases of post term pregnancy were clinically analyzed and classified. 1. In case of primipara, the duration of labor was longer and the frequency of prolonged labor (greater than 24 hours) was higher than that of the same number of cases of term delivery at 39 weeks. 2. The main cause of prolonged labor was weak pains. 3. The mean newborn umbilical artery pH in prolonged labor cases was not lower than that in other cases. 4. The cases of post-term pregnancy were classified into 4 groups and compared each other in several respects. Group I: prolonged labor(-), fetal distress(-), vaginal delivery. Group II: prolonged labor(-), fetal distress(+), vaginal delivery. Group III: prolonged labor(-), fetal distress(+), cesarean section. Group IV: prolonged labor(+). 1) The length of the fundus uteri: Group III: minimum after 31 weeks: Group IV: maximum after 35 weeks. 2) The body weight of the newborn and the weight of the placenta: Group III: minimum: Group IV: maximum. 3) The titer of E3 in urine: Group III: obviously low. 4) The frequency of Clifford's sign: Group III: high frequency of meconium staining. Cases of post-term pregnancy were composed of several groups with different clinical features.

pH dependence of the binding constants of N-acetylglucosamine monomers to hen and turkey egg-white lysozymes.

The binding constants of N-acetylglucosamine (G1cNAc) and its methyl alpha- and beta- glycosides to hen and turkey egg-white lysozymes [EC 3.2.1.17], in the latter of which Asp 101 is replaced by Gly, were determined at various pH values by measuring changes in the circular dichroic (DC) band at 295 nm. The binding of beta-methyl-G1cNAc to turkey and hen lysozymes perturbed the pK value of Glu 35 from 6.0 to 6.5, the pK value of Asp 52 from 3.5 to 3.9, and the pK value of Asp 66 from 1.3 to 0.7. In addition, perturbation of the pK value of Asp 101 from 4.4 to 4.0 was observed in the binding of this saccharide to hen lysozyme. The binding of alpha-methyl-GlcNAc to hen and turkey lysozymes perturbed the pK value of Glu 35 to the alkaline side by about 0.5 pH unit, the pK value of Asp 66 to the acidic side by about 0.5 pH unit, and the pK value (4.4) of an ionizable group to the acidic side by about 0.6 pH unit. The last ionizable group was tentatively assigned to Asp 48. The pK value of Asp 52 was not perturbed by the binding of this saccharide. The pH dependence curves for the binding of GlcNAc to hen and turkey lysozymes were very similar and it was suggested that Asp 48, in addition to Asp 66, Asp 52, and Glu 35, is perturbed by the binding of GlcNAc.

Uterine metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report.

The extrahepatic spread of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncommon. Moreover, metastatic uterine tumor from extragenital primaries is rare. We report a 63-year-old woman with uterine metastasis from HCC. She had undergone transcatheter arterial embolization four times and surgery for HCC from 2-4 years before. This time, she underwent resection of a newborn, head-sized uterine tumor that was proven to be metastasis from HCC. This is the first described case of metastatic uterine tumor originated from HCC.
