It is a well documented fact that endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma may develop in women with Turner's syndrome who had received unopposed estrogen treatment (1), as well as in normal women under contraceptive medication with the sequential regime (2). The purpose of the present study was to characterize the possible changes in surface and glandular epithelium in these women who were treated with a sequential regime for a period of between three and eight years. The aim was to find organelle modifications which may lead to the understanding of the biology of an endometrium under exogenous hormone stimulation. Light microscopy examination of endometrial biopsies of nine patients disclosed a proliferative pattern; in two of these, there was focal hyperplasia. With the scanning electron microscope the surface epithelium in all biopsies showed secretory cells with microvilli alternating with non secretory ciliated cells. Regardless of the day of the cycle all biopsies disclosed a large number of secretory cells rich in microvilli (fig.l) with long and slender projections some of which were branching (fig. 2).

Abstract. GH values were determined by a highly sensitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay in the 1st morning and/or 24-h accumulated urine samples in 94 children (short stature 70, including 14 with complete GH deficiency, 9 with partial GH deficiency, and 47 with GH-normal short stature; Turner's syndrome, 10, and simple obesity, 14). GH values were also determined in the 2nd to 4th urine samples taken on the same day together with the 1st morning urine in 5 of them. GH values in the 1st morning urine correlated significantly with those of the 24-h urine and with serum peak and mean GH values during nocturnal sleep as a physiological GH secretion test. The 2nd to 4th urines had lower GH concentrations than the 1st morning urine. The GH value of the 1st morning urine in complete GH deficiency was significantly lower than those in GH-normal short stature, partial GH deficiency and Turner's syndrome. However, no significant difference was detected in urinary GH values between complete GH deficiency and simple obesity. We conclude that 1st morning urinary GH estimation may be useful for differentiation of complete GH deficiency from other causes of short stature, but may be difficult for the distinction between complete GH deficiency and obesity with normal GH secretory ability.
