[The reverse effect of sexualsteroids on the serum-lysozyme (author's transl)].

75 women received different preparates of contraceptives (Non-Ovlon, Ovosiston, Gravistat, Deposistion--VEB Jenapharm Jena, GDR) for two years. In the last month of the application of the sexual steroids and one month later the lysozyme titer in the sera was tested to determine a reverse or stop-effect. An elevation of the muramidase could be shown in all cases. This findings are interpreted in relation to a non manifest influence of sexualsteroids on the lysozyme.

[The long-term effect of various hormonal contraceptives on the excretion of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus, uric acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, sulfate and lysozyme in the 24 hour urine].

The influence of a long-term application of 4 different hormonal contraceptives on the excretion of various constituents of the urine was examined. A reverse effect after stoppage of the medication is to be established in none of the other parameters with the exception of calcium.

[Comparative appraisal of diagnostic methods for early detection of stress and urge incontinence of women (author's transl)].

Studies were conducted into 40 women who were afflicted with first-degree and second-degree urinary incontenence. The results are broken down by diagnostic methods used. The same methods were applied for control to 14 women without any incontinence complaints. - The contributions actually made by each of the methods to the definite presurgical diagnosis in its totality are described by graphic presentation of the results. - The findings reported in this paper suggest that complex consideration has to be given to all results to introduce adequate therapy in given any case. While the methods reported proved to differ by informative value, none of them should be abandoned in routine examination.

A new in vivo method for quantitatively evaluating local anesthetics.

A method utilizing the reflex contraction of the retractor muscle of the hamster cheek pouch was developed to evaluate onset and duration of blockade produced by a local anesthetic agent infiltrated into or absorbed through the pouch epithelium. It provides a quantitative measure of reflex tension developed by the muscle as a function of afferent nerve conductivity in the pouch. The method is based upon the fact that when the pouch is everted activation of the retractor muscle results in the pouch being pulled toward the oral cavity. The method was validated by comparing the results with those obtained with other animal models and clinical trials. Ketocaine, an experimental drug, was evaluated for its efficacy as a local anesthetic when administered topically. In its present formulation the long latency of onset of blockade renders it impractical for clinical use.

[Experimental studies on the effect of long-term oestrogens on contrast excretion during intravenous urography (author's transl)].

The possible connection between long continued oestrogen intake and dilatation of the upper urinary tract was examined urographically in nine female rabbits. The degree of dilatation was judged on eleven parameters. The results of the study indicate that oestrogens without simultaneous mechanical influence on the urinary tract does not lead to dilatation of the pelvis or ureter. The results are illustrated graphically and are compared with the findings in the literature.

[Significance of an oral cytogram for the characterization of synthetic sex steroids].

In this study we have found, that the gingiva epithelium is a sensitive hormonal receptor which may present different histologic and cytologic changes in relation to the hormonal influences acting upon this organ. The oral smears can be used as a reliable test for the evaluation of estrogenic effects in monohormonal conditions.

Influence of hormonal contraceptives on the pituitary response to LH/FSH-releasing hormone.

In the pre-ovulatory phase the absolute and relative LH increase was much greater than during the luteal phase and less pronounced in the early follicular phase of the normal cycle. FSH release was affected only during the pre-ovulatory period, where a retarded, 3- or 4-fold increase compared to basal levels was recorded. In the women taking oral contraceptives of the conventional type the first LH-RH test showed gonadotropin responses similar to those obtained during the luteal phase of the controls. The second test brought a significantly lower LH response, suggesting an increasing exogenous steroid inhibition at the pituitary level in the course of the therapeutic cycle. This inhibition seems to be reversed during the monthly tablet-free interval. A particularly small and retarded gonadotropin response was observed in patients taking Deposiston. These results are discussed as to their clinical significance.

[Isotope nephrographic studies during hormonal contraception using Depositon].

By means of isotope nephrograms of a total of 29 renally healthy women who had been taken for more than 1 year the drug Deposiston, the renal function is investigated. Checking is done by using the semiquantitative evaluation parameters according to Zum Winkel, Pabst and Hör and to own criteria. Our results show that the highly dosed application of estrogens does not induce significant changes of renal function in the isotope nephrogram.

[Possibilities of testing sex steroid effects in the uropoietic system].

Progesterone as the main representative of gestagen-effective sexual steroide does not cause allone a statistically significant dilation of the lumina of the ureters compared with the adequate values of the control urogrammes. The fact that in pregnant rabbits no dilation of the ureters and of the renal pelvis was to be found allows the suspicion that during the pregnancy of the animal species used there are other mechanical conditions than during the human gravidity.

[Effect of oral contraceptives on the psyche and on sexuality].

The problem of whether or not oral contraceptives affect the psychic function of the female is still controversal. The purpose of the present investigation was to study the occurrence of psychic and sexual effects in women taking either Ovosiston (mestranol 0,08 mg + chlormadinone acetate 2, 0 mg) or Non-Ovlon (ethinylestradiol 0,05 mg + norethisterone acetate 1,0 mg). 186 somatically healthy women were subject to two interviews, immediately before the start of therapy and six months after it. Most of the patients recorded distinctly alterations of their mood, their initiative, their elemental desires such as appetite, sleep, need of warmth, and their sexual behaviour. 73 of them noted a change in their emotional pattern, which was positive in 34 and negative in 39 cases. 99 women reported changes in their elemental desires. 136 patients exhibited alterations of their sexual behaviour, which were assessed as an improvement or impairment in 108 and 28 cases, respectively. There is a statistically significant correlation between the impairment of sexual function and the incidence of other untoward side effects. On the other hand, negative suggestion by poor experience of other women on by the influence of mass media seems to play a minor role in producing changes of sexual behaviour. There is, however, a clearcut relationship between negative suggestion and the incidence of unfavourable emotional alterations. The findings are discussed with reference to their clinical significance.

[Experimental investigations on the effect of progesterone on contrast excretion (author's transl)].

The relationship between high dose progesterone treatment and pregnancy and dilatation of the upper urinary tract was investigated by doing intravenous urograms on eight female rabbits. Ten features of the urogram were studied. It was concluded that the administration of sex hormones to rabbits without any mechanical change in the ureters, did not lead to urographically demonstrable dilatation of the ureters. Negative findings in pregnant animals indicate that the mechanical situation in rabbits differs from that found in human pregnancy. The results are discussed with relation to the available literature.
