The authors studied the lipid content of the vaginal epithelium of gravida in whom intrauterine fetal death had occurred. Fifteen gravida in the 6th to 10th month of gestation were examined and an unusual, inconsistent with the respective gestation term increase in the intra- and extra-cellular lipid content of the vaginal epithelium demonstrated. This is related to a decrease in the amount of estrogen hormones secreted by the placenta. A cytochemical 'lipid test' based on the above findings has been developed by the authors for the diagnosis of intrauterine fetal death during the second half of pregnancy.
作者研究了发生宫内胎儿死亡的孕妇阴道上皮的脂质含量。对15名妊娠6至10个月的孕妇进行了检查，结果显示阴道上皮细胞内和细胞外脂质含量出现异常增加，与相应孕周不符。这与胎盘分泌的雌激素量减少有关。作者基于上述发现开发了一种细胞化学“脂质试验”，用于诊断妊娠后半期的宫内胎儿死亡。
