[The vaginal Bifidobacterium flora in women of reproductive age].

The composition of vaginal bifidoflora in 56 clinically healthy women of reproductive age was studied. The study revealed that four species of bifidobacteria, viz. Bifidobacterium bifidum, B.

[The course of pregnancy induced by ovulation stimulation in patients with the hypogonadotropic form of amenorrhea].

The course of 60 pregnancies induced by ovulation stimulation with pergonal (in 46 cases) and lutrelef, an LHRF agonist (in 10 cases) was followed up. The authors emphasize the importance of the first therapeutic course as a preparative one, because pregnancies occurred in only 15 and 20% of patients treated with the two drugs, respectively, after it, and 25% of them failed to develop. The major pregnancy complications were due to multiple fetuses (23.

[Experience in the use of fetal monitor MKP-01 Nadezhda].

Cardiotocograms were studied in 40 women during timely labor with the use of Nedezhda MKP-01 fetal monitor with real-time automated processing of the following parameters: fetal basal heart beat rate, amplitude and length of decelerated heart beat rate, amplitude and frequency of oscillations of heart beat rate, time of delayed deceleration minimum with respect to the peak of a uterine contraction. Developing acute fetal hypoxia was detected in 3 cases, that permitted timely abdominal deliveries to preserve the fetuses. The described device was found highly informative and valuable.

[Isolation of liposomes containing serotonin and their effect on cAMP accumulation in the rat liver].

To prolong the biological effect of serotonin the latter was enclosed into liposomes. The use of liposomes of phosphatidyl choline, cholesterol and dicetylphosphate in the 2:1:1 ratio permits increasing the level of serotonin incorporation inside the vesicles and reaching the slow release of serotonin out of them. It is shown by electron microscopy that sizes of liposomes enlarge due to the serotonin incorporation.
