[The ratio between basic microelements (Fe, Cu, Zn) under anemia of different etiology].

The homeostasis of basic microelements (Fe, Cu and Zn) is ultimately important for normal functioning of organism. The article presents the data concerning the detection of these metals both in blood serum and urine of patients with anemia of different etiology. The indicators of excretion can provide additional information for diagnostics and needed therapy.

[The hormonal status and steroid receptor system of the endometrium in patients with benign tumors and endometrioid cysts of the ovaries].

Plasma concentrations of protein hormones (LH, FSH, prolactin) and steroid hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol) have been assayed during the follicular and luteal phase of the cycle in patients with benign cysts and endometrioid cysts of the ovaries. Endometrial estradiol and progesterone receptors were also examined in these patients in the midluteal phase. These studies described steroid and gonadotropic hormone secretion of both the luteal and follicular phase in the two populations, as well as steroid receptors of the secretory endometrium.

[Effectiveness of hormonal therapy of endometrioid ovarian cysts].

Patients with ovarian endometriosis have been examined during the follicular and luteal phase of the ovulatory and the second phase of the anovulatory cycles. Estradiol and progesterone blood concentrations measured on operation days and during the respective ovulatory phases were in a normal range. Ovulation and endometrial hyperplasia reduced basal progesterone concentrations.
