Adrenal cortex of fetuses from abortion and newborns as well as 3 anencephalic monsters between 16 and 40 weeks gestational age was investigated. In order to follow the activity of adrenal cortex the volumes of nuclei and of cells were determined by means of morphometry in both the fetal and the definitive zones. The volume of cells showed correlation with gestational age only in the definitive zone. The absence of significant changes in the other (fetal) zone raises the possibility that dysfunction of the adrenal cortex and the consecutive insufficient adaptation could be made responsible for premature birth and perinatal mortality in the cases reported here.
对来自流产胎儿、新生儿以及3例孕龄在16至40周的无脑儿畸形儿的肾上腺皮质进行了研究。为了追踪肾上腺皮质的活性，通过形态测量法测定了胎儿区和永久区细胞核及细胞的体积。细胞体积仅在永久区与孕龄相关。另一（胎儿）区无显著变化，这增加了一种可能性，即肾上腺皮质功能障碍及随之而来的适应性不足可能是此处所报告病例中早产和围产期死亡率的原因。
