The role of mycoplasmas in sexually transmitted vaginitis.

Mycoplasmas were isolated from 325 female subjects who came to a gynaecological out-patient clinic for many different reasons. Micro-organisms can also be isolated in a high percentage from apparently healthy subjects. Our data indicate that mycoplasma can be either simple commensals in the uro-genital apparatus or saprophytes. In vulvo-vaginitis mycoplasma can cause a type of pathology which is always associated with the presence of other pathogens.

[Standardization and stability of reagents for the titration of anti-tetanus antibodies by means of the passive hemagglutination technic].

The evaluation of the antitetanus immunity in human sera is of primary importance for the carrying out of an adequate prophylaxis and treatment of tetanus. Tetan Test is a diagnostic kit for the titration of the antitetanus antibodies, by means of the passive hemagglutination technique. Tetan Test is examined under the point of view of the preparation techniques and the process and final controls which warrant the quality and the standardization of the product itself. The stability of Tetan Test, after storage at the temperatures: 67 degrees C, 52 degrees C, 37 degrees C, 22 degrees C is evaluated. The excellent results obtained allow the use of the product also in hot climates, in developing countries, where the storage at the advised temperatures is not possible.

[Chromosome studies of personnel exposed to electromagnetic radiation at radar centers].

The possibility that chromosome alterations take place in personnel exposed to electromagnetic radiation in radar centres has been studied. The study was carried out "blind" on short-term cultures of peripheral blood, some 450 metaphases being analysed for each case. No aberrations were found in either radar operators or controls and there was no statistically significant difference between them.

[Various pulmonary lesions induced by high-pressure oxygen].

Hyperbaric oxygen may provoke lesions in various organs and tissues depending on the dose and application time. The toxic action mechanisms of oxygen are manifold. The pulmonary lesions that occur in mice submitted to various oxygen pressures are investigated. Anatomo-pathological examination revealed numerous alterations of various kinds depending on pressure used. Emphysema, pulmonary oedema and enormous inflammatory processes in the lung are the most frequent findings encountered in research.
