CYTOLOGICAL FINDINGS BEFORE AND AFTER PROBIOTICS (LACTOGYN)
Probiotics help to provde optimum balance in the intestines probiotics species competitive blocks toxics substances and growth of unwanted species in their struggle for space and food. Lactogyn is the first oral probiotics wich protects vaginal flora. The most researced probiotic is the Lactobacillus rhamnosssus. The goal of this study is to exam influence of probiotics to cytological smear test including: reliability for easier detection of atypical cells; false positive and false negative test; faster cytodiagnostic; incidence of invasive diagnostic procedures and incidence of intraepithelial and invasive changes of the lower genital tract. This study involved two groups of patient: the first one included 50 patients who has been taken specific probiotic therapy after taking cytological cervical smear test. The second one included 50 patients who has taken specific probiotic therapy before taking cytological cervical smear test. In the second group we discovered: statistically lover number od invasive diagnostic and therapeutic methods and statistically higher number of patients without invasive methods. It was statistical higher incidence of cytological smears with inflammations and ASCUS (atypical squamous cells undetermined significance) in the second group of patients. Lactogyn treatment with other medicament therapy provides: faster and better cytological diagnostic, decreases the number of cytological tests and invasive diagnostics methods per women, decreases the number of false positive and false negative tests and the percent of unsatisfactory tests and borderline satisfactory tests

HISTOPATOLOGICALAND CLINICOMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MALIGNANT TUMORS OF THE SKIN
Malignant tumors of the skin (MTS) are between the most common malignant tumors at human population. Because of their similarities, and more important, their dissimilarities, it is very important to determinate histophologycal type, grading and staging, because they are the most important factors of therapy choise and prognosis. The aim of our work was to examine those parameters, and also to define sex, age and locations distribution, as well as the value of surgical treatment. We analysed biopsy material of Institute of pathology, Medical faculty Priština from 2004-2007. year. We found that squamocellular carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and malignant melanoma (MM) were more common at older persons, about 2x more common at male, little bit younger at persons with BCC and MM than SCC. The most common location was skin face; at persons with SCC and BCC significant more common than on all other skin locations. SCC was more common below, and BCC was more common on skin face above imagine line from tragus to the same side lips corner. Average size was about 1,5 cm, and macroscopic they were ulcerous, verrucous and infitrative. Invasive SCC was diagnosed in 2/3 cases in the most early stadium. In opposite MM was diagnosed in late stadium in majority cases. Moderate inflammatory infiltrate was found in most cases of all MTS. MTS was adequate removed in the most part cases.

PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF VAGINAACCOMPAINED WITH HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS INFECTION (HPV)
Apart from great frequency of epithelian, especially preinvasive changes, some very rear diseases common for other lower parts of genital tract (cervix and vulva), are vaginal epithelian changes and especially vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN). That's the reason why we don't usually think about this disease, which can have very serious consequences, especially in late discovering of changes in the stadium of invasive malign disease.The aim of this work was to diagnose all pathological changes on vagina: benign, premalign and malign, according to the age of female patients. Biopsy and operative material taken from 1331 female patients treated in Ginecology and Obstetrics Clinic “Narodni front” in Belgrade, were used in this study. The most diagnosed benign changes was condylomata acuminate (42%). Out of 20 cases of premalign changes, VAIN I was diagnosed in 5 cases (25%) as a slight degree of premalign changes, while VAIN II and VAIN III were diagnosed in 5 cases as a severe degree of premalign lesions. Out of 11 cases, there were 3 cases (27.27%) of invasive planocellar vagina carcinoma with histological degree G1N1. 8 cases (72.72%) were with histological degree G2N2, while there were not a single case with histological degree G3N3. Planocellar vagina carcinoma is the most common in the age of 41-50.

MODULATION OF POTASSIUM ASSIUM CHANNELS CHANNELS OF THE MYOMETRIUM MYOMETRIUM
Modulation of potassium channels is a recent modern approach to experimental and clinical investigation of potential better tocolytic medications. Assuming that potassium channels are by far the largest category of cellular ion channels, they are of crucial importance for the regulation of uterine smooth muscle tone. In the vast category of potassium channels, Maxi-K and BKCa (highly conductive, calcium-activated channels) are considered the main channels in the myometrium. It is believed that those have a key role in the modulation of uterine contractility and the homeostasis of myometrial calcium. The total number of Maxi-K channels is doubled during the onset of labor, compared to their number in pregnant and non-pregnant myometrium. We also keep getting more familiar with the characterization and control of myometrial potassium channels. Certain effects of pharmacological potassium channel modulators in isolated parts of both human and animal, both pregnant and non-pregnant myometrium will be presented in this article. Even though there have been a lot of studies on this subject, not many of them mentioned the role and modulation of potassium channels during human labor. We are still looking for the substances that will perform best in the treatment of possible miscarriages and early labor; although the use of beta sympathomimetics and calcium channel antagonists has been a major breakthrough in treatment of these pregnancy disorders. Using new tocolytic medications and a selective approach to cases of early labor, along with the use of other adequate measures, could improve the treatment of early labor in the future.

ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA
Endometrial carcinoma is still one of the most common malignant tumor of the female genital system in the most industrialized countries. Endometrial cancer is due to 3,9% of all female malignant tumors. The occurence of endometrial cancer varies with age. In 75% of all cases endometral carcinoma tipically occurs in postmenopausal women, with the highest incidence between 50 and 59 year. The high frequence of endometrial carcinoma in younger age is also found in women with ovarian estrogen-secreting tumors. About 10% of all endometrial carcinomas also in association with a genetic predisposition, but the most cases of endometrial carcinomas are sporadic. The most important prognostic factors for endometral carcinomas are: clinical stage, age, histopathological type and grade, as wel as hormonal receptors. Younger nulliparous women with early detected well-diferentiated endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by high doses of progesterone. Older women with endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by hysterectomy. Administration of postoperative radiation and chemiotherapy depends on clinical stage.

QUALITY QUALITY AND EFFICACY AND EFFICACY OF A TELECOLPOSCOPY TELECOLPOSCOPY PROGRAMME PROGRAMME
We tested the performance of telecolposcopy in the diagnosis of various squamous intraepithelial lesions. There were three groups of physicians: Group 1 consisted of 15 gynaecologists who were not trained in colposcopy; Group 2 consisted of six experienced colposcopists (specialists); Group 3 was a supervising team constisting of three experts (colposcopists with more than 15 years of colposcopy experience). The first group took colpophotographs during gynaecological examinations and used a Web browser to compare them with examples from a database of colposcopy findings. Group 2 made their own diagnoses independently. Then the supervising team examined the findings from all 250 patients and made diagnoses that could be considered the ''gold standard''. The findings were identical for Groups 1 and 2 in 219 cases, i.e. an inter- observer agreement of 88%; Cohen's kappa was 0.81. The findings were identical for Groups 1 and 3 in 208 cases, i.e. an inter- observer agreement of 83%; Cohen's kappa was 0.74. The findings were identical for Groups 2 and 3 in 239 cases, i.e. an inter- observer agreement of 96%; Cohen's kappa was 0.93. There was high inter- observer agreement between all participants. However, there were also significant differences in some cases. In the cases of suspected invasive carcinoma, 2 the results showed a significant difference (x =4.8, p < 0,005) because gynaecologists from Group 1 were not sure of their diagnosis and they wanted to obtain a second opinion by referring the decision to a higher level.

FREQUENCY OF CERVICAL PLANOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
Today it is noticeable that the incidence and mortality from cervical carcionoma increases, especially the growth of
frequency of those changes at younger women. The total number of diagnosis of invasive carcinoma at the processed biopsy and operative matrials was 186. The majority of results were the histological grade G1 N1 54,83% in the group of 41-50 years old patients, and the less significant was number of histological grade G2 N2 at the age 51-60 and G3 N3 at patients over 60 years old. In 72 cases the radical surgical treatment was done after previously made HP diagnosis of planocellular carcinoma on the biopsy material, and it was done in the cases that were operable in stage Ib (FIGO). The most of operated women were with histological grade G1 N1, so we followed in what degree the size of tumor, beside the histological grade G1 N1, so we followed in what degree the size of tumor, beside the histological grade, have an effect on the possibility of presence of the metastasis in regional lymphatic nodes. We came to the conclusion that with the growth of macroscopically size of tumor, the frequency of appearance of lymphatic nodes increases. Those parameters could not the small number of operated cases. When the disease is discovered in these histological grades. It is not operable, and then we perform radiotherapy as a method of treatment.

Case Reports
TREATMENT CONDYLOMATA GIGANTEA
Condylomata gigantea is an expansive, destructive lesion that affects most frequently anal and perianal region, and
rarely vulvar and vaginal region. We will describe a clinical case of a 28 years old female patient with a diagnosis of Condylomata gigantea in anal and perianal region with propagation on vulva, vagina and clitoris. After we detected a wide base of condylomas in anal and perianal region, we performed a deep, multiple biopsy for discover of eventual malignancy.
Histologically, malignancy was not confirmed, but it was discovered a presence of HPV types 6 and 11. The patient was initially treated with a wide surgical excision, and then the rest of condylomas were removed using CO laser which had an 2
haemostatic function in the same time. Three months later, there was no recurrence.
