Ampullary biopsies were obtained from twenty-three normal fertile women and from eleven women with hydrosalpinges. The contractile activity of 4-mm muscle strips was studied isometrically in organ bath. Both normal circular and longitudinal muscle strips contracted with similar frequency, duration and amplitude. Circular and longitudinal muscle strips from hydrosalpinges contracted with a lower frequency and a longer duration and the amplitude of contractions was higher than normal. The difference in frequency and duration was statistically significant. The possible explanations for these differences in rhythmicity between normal and diseased fallopian tubes are presented and the prognostic relevance discussed.
从23名正常可育女性和11名患有输卵管积水的女性身上获取壶腹部活检组织。在器官浴槽中对等长收缩的4毫米肌肉条的收缩活动进行了研究。正常的环形和纵行肌肉条收缩的频率、持续时间和幅度相似。输卵管积水的环形和纵行肌肉条收缩频率较低、持续时间较长，且收缩幅度高于正常水平。频率和持续时间的差异具有统计学意义。文中阐述了正常和患病输卵管节律性存在这些差异的可能原因，并讨论了其预后相关性。
