The aim of the study was to define manifestations of non-differentiate forms of connective tissue dysplasia in women of early reproductive age having small pelvis varicosis. The study results showed that patients having small pelvis varicosis revealed more often phenotype manifestations of non-differentiate forms which were seen in clinical examination. Increased level of serum sialic acids and increasing excretion of connective tissue metabolites (free oxyproline and glycosaminoglycanes) with urine were consequence of connective tissue systemic injury in these patients which is in accordance with data of non-severe dysplasia process. The study performed allowed to conclude that the small pelvis varicosis in women of early reproductive age is a manifestation of systemic injury of connective tissue.

The aim of the present work was to study in dynamics the concentration of connective tissue metabolites (free and peptide-bound oxyproline) in patients with myocardial infarction at different stages of in-hospital rehabilitation when using metabolic agents as part of complex therapy: free crystalline amino acid solution - alvesin-nova (GDR) in combination with the anabolic steroid retabolol.

The differentiation and maintenance of many specialized epithelial structures are dependent on the underlying connective tissue stroma and on an intact basal lamina. These requirements are especially stringent in the development and maintenance of the skin and oral mucosa. The keratinization patterns of thin or thick cornified layers as well as the appearance of specialized functional derivatives such as hair and teeth can be correlated with the specific source of stroma which supports these differentiated expressions.

Samples of a surgical liver biopsy from a patient with lactosyl ceramidosis were fixed in paraformaldehyde and postfixed in osmium tetroxide. Hepatocytes (Figs. 1, 2) contained 0.4 to 2.1 μ inclusions (LCI) limited by a single membrane containing lucid matrix and short segments of curved, lamellated and circular membranous material (Fig. 3). Numerous LCI in large connective tissue cells were up to 11 μ in diameter (Fig. 2). Heterogeneous dense bodies (“lysosomes”) were few and irregularly distributed. Rough cisternae were dilated and contained smooth vesicles and surface invaginations. Close contact with mitochondria was rare. Stacks were small and rare. Vesicular rough reticulum and glycogen rosettes were abundant. Smooth vesicular reticulum was moderately abundant. Mitochondria were round with few cristae and rare matrical granules. Golgi complex was seen rarely (Fig. 1). Microbodies with marginal plates were usual. Multivesicular bodies were very rare. Neutral lipid was rare. Nucleoli were small and perichromatin granules were large. Small bile canaliculi had few microvilli (Fig. 1).
