Immunohistological and elution studies of the human placenta.

An immunohistological survey of 28 full-term human placentas has demonstrated deposits of IgG, beta1C, beta1E, and fibrinogen/fibrin in areas of fibrinoid necrosis and on the trophoblast basement membrane in approximately 35% of placental villi. Traces of IgM were detected at similar sites in 18 of 28 full-term placentas. In 11 specimens of immature placentas (10-18 wk gestation) traces of IgG and beta1C and deposits of fibrinogen/fibrin were also present, but IgM was not detected in this material. IgG was recovered in acidic eluates from an homogenized placenta which behaved as an antibody reactive with unidentified material present in fibrinoid deposits and on the thickened trophoblast basement membrane of some villi. It could not be determined whether this IgG was derived from the maternal or fetal circulation.

A controlled study of the constitutional stigmata of endometrial adenocarcinoma.

A controlled study has been made of the constitutional background of 300 cases of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The control group was age matched and drawn from the same patient population pool as were the adenocarcinoma cases.Endometrial adenocarcinoma was shown to be associated unduly frequently with hypertension, nulliparity and the late age of menopause. No association was found between endometrial adenocarcinoma and obesity, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease or extragenital malignant disease.It is suggested that these results are explicable on the basis that adrenal dysfunction may be an aetiological factor in the development of endometrial adenocarcinoma.
