[CA 15-3 and CEA markers - prognostic factors in breast cancer].

For the increasing of sensibility and specificity in the monitoring of the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer it is used the simultaneous determination of two tumoral markers: CA 15-3 and CEA. This study try to demonstrate the grade of involvement in diagnostic and screening. We have determinate CA 15-3 and CEA in 73 serum samples. The correlation between the stage of malignancies and CA 15-3 levels was relieved in the second section of this study. The third section follow up the dynamic evolution of CA 15-3 marker in pre- and postoperator (14 days) stages obtaining a decreasing of CA 15-3 level. The obtained results for CEA does not establish any clinical rules in order to compare with the CA 15-3 level and disease stages. The easy-used and non-invasive determination, the early increasing of it's level and it's preservation recommend glycoprotein CA 15-3 like an current clinical instrument.

[Cervugid ovules in cervico-vaginal infections and cervix uteri precancerous conditions treatment].

UNLABELLED: This medicine was authorized by the National Drug Agency (ANM, Bucureşti) in 2001. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and the tolerance to Cervugid-ovules, a preparation that combines the polyvalent local antiinflammatory action of chloramphenicol, metronidazole and nystatin with the effect of hydrocortisone acetate, an unspecific anti-inflammatory agent; they all are embedded in a Lipex-403, semisynthetic fat. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The evaluation of 500 patients ages between 15 and 85 years with genital infections, registered in the files of "Cl. II Obst. and Gynecology" of the Cuza-Vodă Hospital from Iaşi has been studied. We studied the subjective manifestations (local discomfort and pelvic pains, local burning and dryness,vulvovaginal itching and dyspareunia) and objective manifestations (vaginal and cervical secretion, the cytotest performed and colored though the Papanicolaou method and reported in the Bethesda system). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Healing of the subjective symptoms in 98%, healing of the leukorrhea--as a main objective symptom--in 95%; The Bethesda system cytotest was one of the inflammatory type in the most of the cases and there wew found in 85 cases: 6 ASCUS, 41 LSIL, and 37 HSIL. The use of Cervugid had a healing response in most of the cases when used in acute and chronic cervico-vaginal inflammatory processes. Cervugid may be considered as an important agent in the treatment of the precancerous affections af the cervix uteri on the following reasons: zhe cure of the infections caused by chlamydia, involved in the etiology of cervical neoplasms, the cure of the HPV infection under episome form, classified in the Bethesda system within the ASCUS, AGUS or LSIL classes. When the cytotest was in the HSIL class, a conization in the LLETZ method was performed. CONCLUSIONS: Cervugid is conceived for those three main categories of pathogenic factors related to the etiology of cervico-vaginitis: microbia germs, protozoa and mycosis. In addition, it is active on chlamydia and mycoplasms, always sensitive to chloramphenicol therapy. That is why Cervugid with in local administration is indicated in the microbial, trichomoniasis and mycotic vaginitis caused by one category of pathogenic agents or by associated forms, in cervicitis, in the pelvic inflammatory processes (pelvic congestion, metritis, adnexitis, and inflammatory processes associated with benign or malignant tumors of the genital apparatus). The results obtained proved that Cervugid is highly effective medicine.

[The prevention of urinary tract injuries in obstetrics].

The aim of this study was to warn young obstetricians of the traumatic injuries to the urinary tract in their daily practice. After a short description of the changes that occur in pregnancy and puerperium at the urinary tract, we present "details" of some methods in order to avoid the urethral, bladder and ureteral injuries during vaginal delivery and some obstetric procedures (caesarean section, hysterectomy). This article represents a small and useful guide for young obstetricians in order to avoid unpleasant situations that can occur in their obstetric practice.
