[The antenatal diagnosis of the sex of the fetus by the cytological determination of sex chromatin].

Forty women between 17 and 23 weeks' gestation were included in the study, whose interruption of pregnancy was performed by medical and social indications. The method of Aburel-Atanasov was used as in 10 ml of the removed amniotic fluid sex chromatin was examined cytologically on cellular smears. Staining and determination of sex chromatin was made by the method of Dokumov. The fetus of male sex, when there was no sex chromatin, but the sex was female, when it was present in various percentage of cells. The genuine sex of the fetus was determined after interruption of pregnancy. Coincidence of cytological and genuine sex of the fetus was found in 36 cases (92.31%), but the sex was determined not exactly in 3 cases (7.69%). There was no sufficient material for preparation of high-grade cytological smears in one case. 14 out of 40 fetuses were of female sex (with sex chromatin in 28.57% of cells on the average) and 25 of male sex. The significance and advantages of the method in comparison with other methods for determination of fetal sex at the same term of pregnancy are discussed.

[Antenatal diagnosis in cases of renal agenesis].

Renal agenesia was established by antenatal ultrasound diagnosis in 3 cases. The ultrasound image is characterized by the impossibility to visualize one or both fetal kidneys, oligohydramnios, lung hypoplasia and hypotrophy of the fetus. The possibilities for the earliest diagnosis as well as for interruption of pregnancy on account of the lethal outcome of the disease in the newborn are discussed.

[Artificial abortion in Europe].

The authors of the article review the state in various European nations and the possibilities for performance of induced interruption of pregnancy. In connection with this they describe the existing various forms of legislation. There are countries, in which induced abortions are absolutely band (Ireland). Legislation of socialistic countries is far more democratic in this respect. There are many factors, on which depend whether to legalize or not induced interruption of pregnancy. In Roman-catholic countries the religious motives are determinant, but in some other countries--the demographic policy of the government, ect. The practice however prove that induced abortions are widely distributes in Europe. The number of registered abortions is quite large in the socialistic countries. The data show that Bulgaria occupies one the first places (61.9% of women). Furthermore there are a series of problems in connection with the formation of high sexual culture of the population. Attention is paid to family planning all over the world. The question about contraception is an important and pressing problem. Good knowledge of current drugs and methods for prevention of unwanted pregnancy and their correct usage leads to a substantial reduction in the number of induced abortions and their unfavourable consequences.

[Our experience with the antenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of bilateral polycystic kidney disease].

After a brief review on etiology, pathogenesis, frequency, forms and methods for diagnosis, the authors describe their experience in antenatal diagnosis of fetal bilateral multicystic renal disease. Three cases with this disease are reported, diagnosed before delivery with characteristic differential diagnostic criteria. Possibilities for interruption or reaching full-term pregnancy with the described anomalies of the fetus.

[The interferon reaction of the leukocytes in newborn infants and their mothers].

The interferon reaction of leucocytes (IRL) in the newborns and their mothers were examined in vitro. The ability of leucocytes, obtained from the blood of the umbilical cord of newborns, to synthesize interferon was established in 48.78% of the investigated newborns while in their mothers the relative part was 70.73%. The mean geometrical titre of the leucocytic interferon was lower than that of the parturients (30.90-1.02 against 41.69-1.70).
