Microscopy Examination

It is a well documented fact that endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma may develop in women with Turner's syndrome who had received unopposed estrogen treatment (1), as well as in normal women under contraceptive medication with the sequential regime (2). The purpose of the present study was to characterize the possible changes in surface and glandular epithelium in these women who were treated with a sequential regime for a period of between three and eight years. The aim was to find organelle modifications which may lead to the understanding of the biology of an endometrium under exogenous hormone stimulation. Light microscopy examination of endometrial biopsies of nine patients disclosed a proliferative pattern; in two of these, there was focal hyperplasia. With the scanning electron microscope the surface epithelium in all biopsies showed secretory cells with microvilli alternating with non secretory ciliated cells. Regardless of the day of the cycle all biopsies disclosed a large number of secretory cells rich in microvilli (fig.l) with long and slender projections some of which were branching (fig. 2).

SummaryPlatelet adhesiveness to glass was determined in several groups of women. Increases were found in women developing thrombovascular symptoms while taking combined oral contraceptives, compared to both normal women and asymptomatic users of oral contraceptives. Despite this increase, overlap of the groups did not permit discrimination between symptomatic and asymptomatic women. However, it is possible, that in concert with other coagulation changes, platelet adhesiveness to glass may prove adjunctive in defining women at increased risk of developing thrombovascular symptoms while taking oral contraceptives, and further define the mechanism of the increased risk.

SummaryDeterminations by immunologic methods of histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) and plasminogen, were made in plasma samples collected during one normal or hormone induced cycle in 15 young, normal women and in 11 women using oral contraceptives with 30 μg ethinyl estradiol and 150 μg levo-norgestrel. The hormone group showed an increase in plasminogen level to about 150% of normal, while the concentration of HRG was decreased to about 75% of normal. This resulted in a considerable relative increase in the concentration of free plasminogen in the hormone group (calculated from the equilibrium: HRG·plasminogen ⇌ HRG + plasminogen, using KD = 1.0 μM), representing a doubling of that in the normal group. Hence, more plasminogen is available for binding to fibrin and activation in the hormone group.
