Comparative investigations on cytochemical and cytohormonal exponents of estrogens- progesteron activity in vaginal epithelium in women with complicated pregnancy. I. Threatened abortion.

Cytohormonal smears taken from the women hospitalized due to threatened abortion were classified in four groups according to KPI, E.I., FI and CI values. Simultaneously in the vaginal section hormono-dependent enzymes (Al.,P.,Ac.,P., NADH2 t.r., ATP-ase, PAS reaction for glycogen) were studied. The investigated enzymes were compared with the values of cytohormonal indices, in intensity of cytochemical reaction. A distinct correlation was discovered between the intensity of the reactions for Al.,P.,ATP-ase and NADH2 t.r. and KPI, as well as for EI values which suggest either the balance of estrogens-progesteron or its disturbance.
