A comparison of efficacy of Tolpa Torf Preparation (TTP) in the treatment of cervicitis with or without surgery.

Tolpa Torf Preparation (TTP) is an immunomodulating drug produced by Torf Corporation, Wroclaw and registered for human use in Poland. TTP enhances the process of tissue regeneration. Authors evaluate TTP effectiveness in the treatment of inflammatory states of the cervix, especially cervical erosions and the influence of this preparation of the macroscopic, cytological and bacteriological state of the cervix. TTP was used in 31 patients with the diagnosis of cervical erosion. All patients treated as yet were classified into 3 groups, depending on the treatment of cervical erosion used previously. TTP was administered orally in the dose of 5 mg (in 10 ml of water) daily during 10 days and locally in the form of tampons soaked with 1% TTP solution in the volume of 5 ml also during 10 days. TTP administered this way has beneficial therapeutic effects on the healing of cervical erosion accelerating the process of epithelialization and bringing normalization of the cytological picture. Especially beneficial in the treatment of cervical erosion is combined use of TTP and electrocoagulation or curettage--the healing time can be shortened by half.

A 30-year old female underwent kidney transplantation after unsuccessful 3-year dialysis for renal cortex necrosis. Immunosuppression was achieved with cyclosporin followed by azathioprine with prednisone. The patient conceived after 22 months with kidney transplantation. Mild decrease in arterial blood pressure and marked increased in glomerular filtration rate were seen during the first three months of pregnancy. Arterial blood pressure increased but insignificantly at the end of pregnancy. That time, gradual decrease in creatinine clearance was observed. An increase in serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase was noted. Pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section on the 38th week. Newborn was female, full-termed, viable, with body weight of 3,300 g. All examined parameters were normalized after delivery. Described case indicates that transplanted kidney functioning during pregnancy is similar to that in healthy women.
