Hemolytic disease of the newborn secondary to anti-Fya and anti-S.

One case of rare maternal-fetal immunization in a patient affected by Cooley's anemia, is reported. The opportunity for a complete characterization of the blood group and for a search for maternal antibodies in patients with a history of multiple blood transfusions is stressed.

Sex steroid hormones influence the cAMP content in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle.

The measurement of the tissue concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in human endometrium shows that the levels of the nucleotide vary during the menstrual cycle, being 11.4 +/- (SE) 2.5 and 37.7 +/- (SE) 10.1 pmol/mg protein in the proliferative and secretory phase, respectively. The individual determinations of cAMP are significantly correlated to the estradiol/progesterone blood concentration ratio: by this means we obtained a superimposable distribution with the results of histologic examination suggesting that the hormones have a direct action in determining the cAMP levels in this tissue. The relevance of these observations for the physiology of the endometrium is discussed.
