    Summary: Parts of the chorionic tree, villous stems and their branches(d), terminal villi (r) and intervillous spaces (i) have beenstereologically analysed in five term human placents. The totalvalues of the mentioned components have been calculated on thebasis of macroscopic measurements of placental weight (Mp) andvolume (Vp) and stereological measurements of the volume density.Statistically significant differences between the volume densityof chorionic stems and their branches and terminal villi (P<0.01)have been found out, what also applies to their total volumes(P<0.02) as well as to their masses (P<0.01). Objectivity ofintervillous space measuring has been discussed.

    Summary: The ionvestigations were carried out to attempt to define andanalyze various quantitative structural parameters ofsyncytiotrophoblast in human term placenta, especially of itsfunctionally active parts, that is alpha and beta zones. Theresults demonstrated the following: The arrangement of alpha andbeta zones in the placenta as a whole is even and regionallyindependent. Beta zones prevail quantitatively. Alpha zones makeup only 8% of the total volume, 18% of the total surface and 39%of the thickness of beta zones. Sexual dimorphism is shown by asignificantly higher volume density (P<0.002), total volume(P<0.05) and surface density (P<0.025) of alpha zones inplacentas of female newborn. The fetoplacental index is higher inmale newborns. During the tenth lunar month the structure ofsyncytiotrophoblast is change. Between the 38th and 39th week thevolume and surface densities of alpha zones are significantlyhigher (P<0.01), and in the 40th week the volume density andtotal volume of beta zones prevail significantly (P<0.01).

    Summary: According to the literature, there are still some controversiesabout parathyroid glands such as the stromal fat content.Besides, in our circles no attention has been paid to morphologicresearches into these glands. This has encouraged investigationinto the relationship between stromal fat and parenchyme withinthe glands of both sexes by working out the volume density ofmonitored parameters. The results show statistically significantlower volume density values in male patients fat cells then infemale ones and vice versa when the volume density of parenchymecells is concerned.

    Summary: A rare case of an intracranially located supernumerary tooth wasdescribed, observed over a period of 14 years, where movement wasestablished laterally in relation to the referent Carthesiancoordinate system, down and forward with rotation around theanteroposterior axis. During skull growth, the skull base anglechanged by 20 degrees, but this movement only affected the changein tooth position slightly. During the observation period, nofurther changes in the neurological findings were observed.

    Summary: The increase of fetal weight during the tenth lunar month isaccompanied neither by the growth of placental parenchyma nor bysurface enlargement of placental membrane, the main structureengaged in fetomaternal exchange. The placental developmentcompleted till the 36th week is followed by the period ofmaturation. Morphological, biochemical and physiologicalinvestigations show that the exchange of substances per gram ofplacental weight is more effective during this period. The aim ofthis research is to analyse volumetrically the structuralcomponents of placental parenchyma and to compare them during thetwo periods of the tenth lunar month separately: from the 38th to39th week (12 placentas) and in the 40th week pregnancy (11placentas). Values obtained by macroscopic measuring of newborn,sweight, placental weight and volume show the increase in thesecond period, though the differences are not significant. Valuesof volume density and total volume of terminal villi, theirmesenchyma and its blood capillaries did not differ significantlyin the two investigated periods. In syncytiotrophoblast thevolume share of alpha zone is significantly higher in the periodfrom the 38th to 39th week while the volume share and the totalvolume of beta zones are significantly higher in the 40th week(P<0.01). The results of our research show that during the periodof maturation the majority of structural components of placentalparenchyma does not change essentialy. On the contrary, duringthis period further differentiation of syncytiotrophoblast isstated with regard to alpha and beta zones as components involvedinto fetomaternal exchange. We consider these structural changesas quantitative manifestation of the maturation of placentalmembrane.

    Summary: At the time of intensive progressive growth of fetus, during the10th lunar month, placenta does not grow any more. Themorphological, biochemical and physiological indicators suggestthat placenta functionally makes up for this disproportion bymore effective feto-maternal exchange. The aim of this researchis to analyse histologically the placental parenchyma and comparestereologically the size of surfaces engaged in fetomaternalexchange during two periods of the 10th lunar month separately:from the 38th to 39th week (12 placentas) and in the 40th week(11 placentas). The results show that during maturation (betweenthe two periods observed) the values of macroscopic measures inthe newborn and placenta as well as quantitative parameters ofparenchyma(surface density and total surface of terminal villi,mesenchyma and blood capillaries) do not change significantly.The surface density of alpha zones is significantly higherbetween the 38th and 39th week (P<0.01). These quantitative morphological parameters support the opinion that in the 10thlunar month there is no relevant growth of structural componentsof placental parenchyma. On the contrary, differentiation ofplacental barrier expressed by the enlarged surface of alphazones affirms the assumption of functionally increasedpermeability in transcellular transport.

    Summary: During pregnancy the placenta becomes adapted to fetomaternalexchange. In the course of the last quarter of pregnancy bloodcapillary loops grow into stroma of intermediary chorionic villiand terminal villi grow out. Their main structural characteristicare dilated blood capillaries located beneath a considerablyattenuated syncytiotrophoblast. These changes manifest the finalformation of layers of placental barrier, structurally known asalpha zones or plaque-epithelial. The thickness of placentalbarrier, the size of the surface of trophoblast and the size ofblood vessels are main structural components considerablyinfluencing the intensity of diffusion through placentalmembrane. Histological slices in human term placenta wereanalysed stereologically. We have compared the results obtainedduring the two periods of the 10th lunar month of pregnancy: thefirst period from the 38th to 39th week (12 placentas) and thesecond period is the fortieth week (11 placentas). We have statedthat in the first period the surface density of the totalsyncytiotrophoblast (P<0.025) and its specially differentiatedareas, alpha zones, (P<0.05) is significantly higher than in thesecond period. The total surfaces of these structures have provedto be similar, but the differences have not been significant. Thearithmetic thickness of the total trophoblast is significantlyhigher (P<0.005) in the second group. The final 4 weeks ofpregnancy are considered as a period of "placental functionalmaturation". Consequently, the syncytial nature of trophoblastenables its fast structural adaptation to various qualitative andquantitative needs of fetomaternal exchange. The enlarged surfaceof syncytiotrophoblast has been morphologically andquantitatively stated. Particularly, its differentiated alphazone manifests a more intensive diffusion in fetomaternalexchange in the first half of the 10th lunar month.

    Summary: The chronic compartment syndrome (CCS) is an exercise - induced condition characterized by a relative in adequancy of musculofascial compartment size producing chronic or recurring pain. Most cases of CCS involve the lower leg of athletes (competitive and marathon runners). There is a chronic elevation of pressure within the compartment (30 to 35 mmHg) due to fascia that is unyielding either through thickness or tensile strength. A compartment is too small and fascia is inelastic to prevent chronic elevation of intracompartmental pressure and acute muscle volume increases associated with exercise. Increased intramuscular pressure during exercise impedes blood flow and function of the tissues within the compartment. Experimental works to date investigate the effects of acute ischemia and acute compartment syndrome. Much less is known regarding the particulars of chronic intermittent ischemia and tissue effects on muscle and fascia. The aim of this research was to examine the ultrastructural characteristics and quantitative changes of soft tissues within the compartment of lower leg of an active athlete with CCS which was surgically treated. The electronmicroscopic and stereologic analyses of the tibialis posterior muscle were made separately for symptomatic and contralateral (control) lower leg. The muscle fasciculus in the CCS had significantly lower volume density of connective tissue and numerical density of muscle fibres (P<0.0005). The average diameter and cross-sectional area of muscle fibres were significantly increased over those in the control compartment (P<0.0005). The electronmicroscopic investigations of muscle fibres in CCS have showen an increase in mitochondrial number as well as quantity of sarcoplasm and decrease in the length of the sarcomere. Our quantitative results and ultrastructural investigations of the tibial posterior muscle in CCS demonstrate a significant muscle hypertrophy consistent with chronic ischemia and ischemic injury of uncertain reversibility.

    Summary: Chronic compartment syndrome (CCS) is one of the causes of recurrent pain induced by exercise in the lower leg (competitive runners, long distance runners, keen joggers). During sports activity the muscle volume increases but if there is a noncompliant fascia this will result in an abnormally increased intracompartmental pressure. CCS is a common problem in athletes and the aim of this research was to examine the morphologic characteristics and quantitative changes of soft tissues within the compartment of lower leg. The morphologic and stereologic analyses of m.tibialis posterior were made separately for healthy and ill lower leg of athlete with CCS. In the compartment syndrome we have stated the volume density of muscle fibers is significantly higher (P<0.0005). The numerical density of muscle fibers and volume density of connective tissue are significantly lower (P<0.0005) than in the compartment of healthy lower leg. These quantitative results demonstrate a serious damages of all intracompartmental soft tissues which had resulted from the chronically elevated compartment pressures.

    Summary: In the pathological and obstetrical literature very little attention has been paid to the umbilical cord. The placental examination which should be done for all derivatives concerns also the description of umbilical cord an mode of its insertion. The site of cord insertion is variable in human placenta. It can be central, eccentric, marginal or velamentous relative to the chorionic plate. While the eccentric cord insertion are associated with multiple gestations, the marginal and velamentous are due to the increased incidence of abortion, premature labour, neonatal asphyxia or congenital malformation. The aim of our investigation was to examine whather variations of cord insertions in normal human placentae coincide with differences in neonatal and placental factors (placental and newborn,s weight, placental index and volume) and placental compartment volumes (absolute volume of intervillous space, chorionic villi and their compartments: alpha and beta zones of trophoblast, mesenchyma and blood vessels). Placental compartment volumes were estimated histologically by stereological methods in 30 placentae and statistically analysed by one - way ANOVA. The results indicate: 1. Placentae with eccentric cord insertion have the greatest placental weight (497.89+22.33) g and volume (474.18+21.27) cm3. The greatest volume was estimated for chorionic villi (329.30+17.66) cm3, their alpha zones (7.01+1.36) cm3 and blood vessels (68.23+10.15) cm3. 2. Placentae with marginal cord insertion have the smallest placental weight (474.43+48.01) g and volume (451.84+45.72) cm3. The newborn,s weight in this group of placentae is the greatest (3685.71+264.64) g. Chorionic villi have the smallest volume (300.81+30.98) cm3 but the greatest volume of beta zones, places of metabolic processes (82.80+9.45) cm3. 3. The newborn,s weight in the group with central cord insertion was the smallest (3553.93+107.84) g as like as the volume of villous beta zones (76.88+5.88) cm3. These results suggest that the placental compartment volumes differ in relation to the mode of umbilical cord insertion. The lack of significant differences is probably the result of sample sizes.
