[Impulse cytophotometric studies in cytologically suspicious cervical smears]. 1977

H Krug, and K Kühndel, and K Ebeling

187 women with cytologically suspicious cervical smears (Papanicolaou III to V) were investigated by 387 pulse cytophotometric (ICP) measurements. Within the Papanicolaou III group a significantly higher 4c-peak was seen in cases with only one ICP-investigation if we had histologically pathological findings (dysplasia, carcinoma) as contrastes with clinically and cytologically regressive cases. In repeated ICP-investigations we found in group Papanicolaou III (histol.: dysplasia, carcinoma) as well as in group Papanicolaou IV and V a significantly higher mean 4c-height than in only once investigated cases. Within a ICP-series the maximal 4c-height is most representative. The security of diagnosis is raising with repeating ICP-investigations. Here it is a valuable diagnostic aid especially in suspicious cases. All abnormal ICP-findings must be controlled for a long time, even with normal cytological smears. At last, the circumstances causing false negative ICP-results are discussed.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
