title: [Nucleolar organizers and mitotic conditions in endometrial hyperplasia and carcinomaĭ].
abstract: The study deals with the levels of nucleolar organizers (NO) and mitotic conditions in 85 samples of the endometrium (proliferative stage of menstrual cycle--5; glandular hyperplasia--10; adenomatosis--15; atypical hyperplasia--25 and adenocarcinoma--25). These findings point to a significant increase in NO number in atypical hyperplasia and especially in adenocarcinoma. The latter showed an inverse correlation between the index under study and cell differentiation stage. Endometrial mitosis displayed a higher mitotic index, a larger fraction of pathological mitoses and cells passing through metaphase as well as a variety of pathological forms of karyokinesis. A high correlation between NO number and mitotic index was observed for different conditions of the endometrium.
