[Ovarian radiation dosage during hysterosalpingography].

Doses delivered to ovaries during a standardized hysterosalpingography is determined in 30 patients with LiF dosimeters placed on the anterior and the posterior wall of the lower abdomen. It varies between 0.1 and 0.6 rad and is essentially dependent on the thickness of traversed tissues. This work is based on rare-earth screens experience.

[The composition of connective tissue in the normal and fibrocystic breast].

A recent immunofluorescent study has tried to define the precise nature of the macromolecules present in the connective tissue of normal and fibrocystic breasts. Nothing abnormal has been found in the distribution of the different types of collagen and of the two glycoproteins, namely fibronectin and laminin. A quantitative approach to the research into the composition of the organ has brought us to realise that there are different amounts of the constituents of the connective tissue to be found in 80 samples which have been taken from 4 specific regions of the breast. These have been taken from 16 women aged between 28 and 82 with a mean age of 57 years. Their breasts could be ascribed to different clinical and radiological categories. We have been able to show that there is a significant rise in the water content as well as in the collagen content and, to a lesser degree, in the total proteins of the body of the breast as compared with the fatty layer in front of the breast. This increase is compensated for by a significant lessening in the percentage of lipids. It was not possible to demonstrate a statistically significant difference between these two regions as far as the concentration of proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Fibrous types of breast have, in the main body of the breast, a significant increase in the percentage of water, collagen, proteoglycans and glycoproteins as compared with fatty breasts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Localization of type I, III, IV collagen and fibronectin in benign tumors and epitheliomas of the human breast].

Fibronectin and types I, III and IV collagens were localized by an indirect immunofluorescence technique in 10 fibro-adenomas and 27 mammary adenocarcinomas. In the benign lesions, a densification of a type III collagen meshwork was noted around galactophoric channels. In carcinomas, various patterns of connective tissue proteins distributions were observed depending upon the histological types of lesions. Connective tissue proteins are restricted to the perivascular areas in mucinous carcinomas. Type III collagen is largely distributed in the stroma of poorly differentiated tumors. In differentiated carcinomas, discontinuous linear deposits of type IV collagen or fibronectin are localized at the border of epithelial proliferations. They probably represent the remmants of epithelial basement membrane. In intra- canalar adenocarcinomas, type IV collagen and fibronectin form irregular and discontinuous depositifs . These finding indicate that extensive connective tissue remodelling is observed during neoplastic infiltration. The type of stroma and connective tissue proteins distributed in these epithelial proliferations depends primarily upon the histological type of malignant infiltrating carcinomas.

[Immunolocalization of laminin, fibronectin, and collagens I to V in the normal and mastotic breast].

Our study tries by immunofluorescence to specify the nature of the connective tissue of the breasts, and especially of the scaffolding of the fatty tissue and the matrix of the lobules and of the lactiferous ducts. In consists of a study of 35 samples which were taken from 13 women whose ages ranged from 40 to 75 and whose breasts were considered on clinical examination and on radiography as normal or abnormal. We have analyzed the distribution of anti-collagen types I, III, IV and V and anti-fibronectin and anti-laminin antibodies in certain sites in the breast which were chosen because of the diversity of forms they could take from one woman to another. In each case of the distribution of protein markers seemed to be regular without, as can be found in certain cases of scar or tumour formation, a change in the distribution of the matrix proteins. Therefore, as already suggested by certain histologists, benign abnormal breast conditions (fibrosis) should be considered as simple variations from the normal. This conclusion agrees with classical histological findings.
