A consumer intercept study of oral contraceptive users in the Dominican Republic.

Purchasers of a low-cost oral contraceptive were intercepted and interviewed in a sample of Santo Domingo pharmacies that represented the highest sales of the product, yet also reflected the socioeconomic profile of the city's entire population. Users of the contraceptive were later interviewed in greater depth in their homes. The survey of users showed that the Dominican Republic's social marketing program, implemented by PROFAMILIA, was reaching an appropriate target market--that is, younger, lower-middle-class women of low parity. The program was, in addition, successful in attracting first-time adopters, and it was also expanding the overall commercial market for all contraceptives. The marketing campaign was successful in part because a mass audience was reached, through brief television spots. Program impact on contraceptive prevalence can be assessed from sales data.

Relationship between uterotrophic and interceptive activities of steroidal estrogens.

The steroidal estrogens ethinylestradiol, mestranol and the synthetic "impeded" estrogen derivatives STS 456, STS 593 and J 628 were studied for their postcoital antifertility activity and estrogenicity in mice, rats and rabbits. Results of these studies suggest a positive relationship between these two biological endpoints with the exception of the findings in rats. As seen in uterotrophic--anti-implantation ratio, in view of only one species it is possible to dissociate the interceptive and the unwanted uterotrophic activities. The profound species differences in the effects of exogenous estrogens on the nidation phase are discussed.

Further report on the interceptive STS 557 in baboons.

STS 557 (17 alpha-cyanomethyl-17 beta-hydroxy-estra-4,9(10)-diene-3-one) or levonorgestrel was given orally as a single dose of 0.4 mg per animal. Treatment was performed immediately after the 6 h mating period. In 30 control cycles (18 animals) 9 pregnancies (30%) and in 26 cycles (17 animals) with levonorgestrel treatment 3 pregnancies (11.5%) were observed. In 46 cycles (21 animals) with STS 557 treatment only one pregnancy (2.2%) occurred (chi 2-test: P less than 0.01 as compared to control cycles). Therefore, STS 557 showed high interceptive activities in this nonhuman primate model. In contrast with levonorgestrel, STS 557 did not decrease the postovulatory rise of plasma progesterone.

[Intervention on growth: neuromuscular interception].

Since the existence of orthodontic therapy, clinicians do try to improve maxillo-facial growth. Now even today, clinicians and researchers are still trying to get the orthopedic therapy as a significant tool in the daily practice. In this paper we will look at the basic knowledge of the neuromuscular functions of the oral sphere; and when we can intercept a deficient neuro-muscular function to avoid the disturbance of the normally planned growth.

Correlation of the intercept and slope of the retention equation ln k' = ln k'w - SC in MECC with the solvatochromic parameters of solutes.

The intercept (ln k'w) and slope (S) of the retention equation in k' = ln k'w - SC in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) have been studied through linear solvation energy relationships (LSER). It has been observed that the ln k'w is dependent on the properties of micelle and solute but independent of the properties of organic modifier, while the slope (S) is related to the organic modifier and the solute. The LSER results show that the ln k'w of solute is primarily determined by its molecular size and hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) basicity, whereas the S of solute is primarily determined by its properties in terms of the type of organic modifier, of which molecular size is the most important factor. Additionally, the LSER results show that the interactions of micelle-water and water-organic modifier are also important factors for the retention of solute.
