[The ileocecal vagina].

In 3 patients with vaginal aplasia respectively traumatic vaginal loss a neovagina was created out of the separated ileocecal segment. Advantages of this technique are the excellent blood supply of the ileocecal region and the long vascular pedicle. The additional application of terminal ileum for prolongation of the cecal vaginoplasty allows the tensionless anastomosis between neovagina and vulva even in patients with difficult anatomical conditions. The present paper gives a detailed description of the operative technique and the indications of the ileocecal vaginoplasty. Furthermore the common techniques for vaginal replacement are reviewed and discussed.

[Aspects of an interplay between endocrinological and metabolic factors during birth].

The well-known rise of the levels of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, non-esterified free fatty acids (NFFA), glycerol, and ketone bodies during labour cannot be explained only by metabolic pathways. The simultaneous measurement of insulin, cortisol, hGH, and prolactin shows a striking change in secretion, especially of cortisol, after the first half of labour. It is assumed that cortisol plays an important part in the intrapartal metabolic conversions. The correlation cortisol/glucose becomes significant. There is no evidence of the known catabolic effect of cortisol under the conditions of labour, but these is evidence of a reduction of peripheral glucose utilisation. The role of cortisol for the intrapartal metabolic changes is discussed under the aspect of labour progress. The outlines of a very ingenious but also complex interplay between endocrinological and metabolic factors emerge which may provide useful tools for therapeutic use.

Investigations of gestation-induced metabolic changes in the rat liver. I. Glycogen metabolism.

The activities of alpha-glucan-phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase and the concentration of glycogen were measured in the liver of pregnant and non-pregnant rats. There were no significant differences between normal non-pregnant and pregnant animals nor was there any change of enzyme activities during pregnancy. Our results lend support to the idea that glycogen metabolism is not changed during normal pregnancy.
