The Authors have studied by histological and histochemical methods the morphological modifications of the uterine and vaginal mucosa which take place during the oestrus cycle in the mouse. The data has underlined numerous previously undescribed differences in the behaviour of the uterine and vaginal mucosa. The keratinization of the uterine epithelium is noticeably delayed in comparison with that of the vagina. The latter is already completely cornified in late oestrus, while this occurs in the uterine mucosa only in full oestrus. In contrast, the exfoliation of the cornified layers takes place in the uterus before the vagina. Analogous differences are observed in two organs for mitotic behaviour: the vaginal mucosa shows a mitotic peak during late dioestrus, while in the uterus the peak occurs only during full oestrus.
作者通过组织学和组织化学方法研究了小鼠发情周期中子宫和阴道黏膜的形态学变化。数据突出显示了子宫和阴道黏膜行为方面许多先前未描述的差异。与阴道相比，子宫上皮的角化明显延迟。阴道在发情后期已完全角质化，而子宫黏膜仅在发情盛期才出现这种情况。相反，角质化层的脱落先于阴道在子宫中发生。在两个器官的有丝分裂行为中也观察到类似差异：阴道黏膜在发情后期出现有丝分裂高峰，而子宫中的高峰仅在发情盛期出现。
