Yi. Egorov et al., EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT OF HABITUAL ABORTION OF ADRENAL ETIOLOGY BY TRANSPLANTATION OF A TISSUE-CULTURE OF NEWBORN PIG ADRENALS, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(4), 1994, pp. 389-391
Transplantation of an adrenal tissue culture from newborn pigs was per
formed in patients with habitual abortions. The advantages of this met
hod as compared to the traditional treatment with adrenocortical hormo
nes consist in the absence of effects on the fetus and of side effects
in pregnant women. Monitoring of the serum level of adrenocortical ho
rmones is not required. Healthy children were born to 22 patients out
of 23. Three clinical cases are described.
