[H-Y antigen and development of a testis in a girl with XY karyotype].

A phenotypical girl aged 16 years with primary amenorrhoea had an XY-karyotype and reacted positively to serologically demonstrable H-Y antigen. The left gonad was an immature testis while the right was a streak gonad with a gonadoblastoma. The value of H-Y antigen determinations in the diagnosis and choice of treatment is discussed.

Reduced level of sex-specific antigen (H-Y antigen) on lymphocytes in some patients with bilateral cryptorchidism.

Sex-specific (Sxs) antigen on the surface of nucleated cells from normal human males seems to be essential for the formation of testes. The relative quantity of the antigen on lymphocytes was evaluated by absorption experiments in a complement-dependent cytotoxicity test or in an ELISA technique using antisera against Sxs antigen produced by immunization of female rats. Lymphocytes from 13 normal males were Sxs-antigen positive, and cells from 12 normal females were characterized as Sxs-antigen negative. However, in the testing of lymphocytes from nine boys with bilateral cryptorchidism, only six revealed a normal male absorption pattern, whereas the antigen level on cells from three boys, all of them with normal karyotype, was reduced compared with the normal male level. No correlation between Sxs-antigen level and testosterone response after treatment with hCG could be demonstrated.

[Studies with azlocillin, mezlocillin, penicillin-g-potassium and sisomicin on tolerance in the cornea and the kinetics of inhibiting concentrations in the cornea and aqueous humor in rabbits].

We studied the effect of azlocillin, mezlocillin and sisomicin in concentrations of 1, 2.5 and 5% on the regeneration of stromal corneal wounds in rabbits following subconjunctival injections and treatment with eye drops. Concentrations of the antibiotics were also determined in corneal tissue and in aqueous humor and compared with that of penicillin G-potassium. Together with azlocillin, sisomicin proved to be the most effective and the safest. Mezlocillin only inhibited wound regeneration slightly and thus mezlocillin appears to be inferior to the other two antibiotics investigated in the local treatment of the eye.
