Fifty cases of tuboperitoneal endometriosis with sterility, are reviewed. Laparoscopy was done in all the patients to confirm disease, and its severity was classified to AFS; 18 cases were of minimal endometriosis; 8 slight; 12 moderate; and 12 severe. The endometriotic profile in our environment is described and compared with which has been described in progresist countries; 32% of pregnancy at term, was obtained. The possible mechanisms producing sterility, are mentioned.

This is a study using light microscopy and electronic microscopy of Fallopian tube subjected to sterilization; and compare it with a control group. A total of 60 samples from patients with different surgical procedures, whose age was from 20 to 40 years; they were amenorrheic, without antecedents of pelvic inflammatory disease nor endometriosis. Among the control group, there were lesions as isthsmical nodular salpingitis in 30.7%. There was chronic salpingitis in 15.3%; follicular salpingitis in 23%, and polyps in 15%. In the group with OTB antecedents, endosalpingiosis was found in 20%; follicular salpingitis in 30% and chronic salpingitis in the remaining 50%. By means of electronic, ultrastructural microscopy, were seen lesions at myosalpinx level, that is, alterations in myofilaments, formation, much fibrosis and descilliation in the adjacent to OTB. It may be concluded that these findings, never seen before, may condition an alteration of tubal motility in patients subjected to rechannelization procedures, that condition an alteration in gametes transportation, avoiding fecundation or a greater incidence ectopic pregnancy incidence.

Ovarian function was studied in 17 women with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Levels of FSH, LH, prolactin and androstenedione were normal in menstruating patients and FSH and LH were elevated in menopausal patients. In menstruating patients with active AS the estradiol levels were lower than in patients with inactive AS and significantly (p less than 0.05) lower than controls. Progesterone levels in menstruating patients were lower (P = NS) than controls. In menopausal patients estrogen levels were lower than their controls (P = NS). There was a significant (p less than 0.05) inverse correlation between the sedimentation rate and the estrogen level. Seven patients accepted oral estrogen therapy (average duration 4 months) and peripheral arthritis subsided within one month, all variables of clinical activity of AS improved and at the end of the study all patients were in functional class I.
