ABSTRACT
An analysis of the frequency of HPV infections and their clinical course within the uterine cervix, vagina and vulva with regard to the intraepithelial neoplasia in pregnant and non pregnant women was performed. The material consists of 484 women (181 pregnant and 303 non pregnant women). The evaluation of a clinical course of overt and subclinical HPV infection was carried out in 47 pregnant and 34 non pregnant women. In the group with CIN concomitant HPV infection concerned 71.4% of pregnant and 61.4 of non pregnant women. In the group without CIN in 4.8% was found subclinical form and in 2.0% latent form of HPV infection in pregnant and accordingly in 4.6% and 6.0% of non pregnant women. In pregnant women in comparison with non pregnant patients overt form of HPV infections was observed more frequently. Pregnancy seems to have no effect upon the frequency of HPV infections of the cervix, vagina and vulva. On the other hand it modifies the development and course of the infections.

The injection method was used to study the course and division of ileocolic artery in 67 human fetuses of the crown-rump length of 127 to 285 mm (15 to 28 weeks of fetal age). A significant variability was demonstrated in the number, diameter and the branching site of the ileocolic artery. On the basis of the thus adopted criteria, classification types of the studied artery were established.
