[Recent studies into conductivity of oviduct (author's transl)].

A modern functional test of tubal activity is based on the fundamental activity of the oviduct. A glass pessary is applied to the portio, before iodine-containing contrast medium is injected into the Douglas pouch. The blue colour of genital secretion which accumulates in the pessary during iodine-starch reaction will indicate not only tubal patency but also conform tubal function. The functional test is easy to perform and does not imply any risk to the patient. It can thus be carried out in any hospital, but iodine allergy of the patient concerned should be ruled out beforehand.

Investigation of saliva immunoglobulins in monoclonal gammopathies.

Salivary immonoglobulins of patients with multiple myeloma, lymphoid leukaemia, agammaglobulinaemia and of normal healthy adults were examined. Higher IgG level was identified in 4 cases IgG monoclonal gammopathy. In these cases extremely large quantities of IgG monoclonal protein were transmitted from serum into salivary secretions. On the basis of the results it appears that monoclonal IgA is transferred to external secretions in patients with IgA monoclonal gammopathy. High IgM level was found in both serum and saliva of agammaglobulinaemic patients. "IgM secretory component" complex could be identified in saliva. In lymphoid leukaemic patients the salivary immunoglobulins presented normal values except of a patient whose tigA lacked in serum and also in saliva.
