Abstract: | The application of different methods of tissue culture, in particular, investigations on trophoblast cells outside the mother's body, opens new possibilities for understanding pathogenesis of premature interruption of pregnancy caused by the hormonal and metabolic disorders. To study the effects of various hormones (Choriogonien, estrone and estradiol) on the growth and development of trophoblast cells the method of tissue culture was applied. 683 histological preparations, obtained after incubating trophoblast tissues with and without hormones were examined. It was established that choriogonine in doses of 5-100 IU/L stimulated growth in trophoblast cells but 200-400 IU/L of hormone did not increase this stimulating effect. Estrone and estradiol added to incubated tissues in doses of 60-120 IU/L brought about no changes or else had a weak effect on development of cultivated tissues. When choriogonine (or estrone) was added to the trophoblast tissues together with blood serum taken from women in danger of premature interruption of pregnancy the negative effect of the serum on the development of the trophoblast cells was prevented. |
