results the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 54 years (range, 28 - 74). cause-specific survival rates of the entire group were 92%, 87% and 82%, at two, three and five years, respectively. the five-year cause-specific survival rates for grades one, two and three were 98%, 88% and 68%, respectively. multivariate analysis revealed that age, depth of myometrial invasion, involvement of ovarie...

OBJECTIVES The objective of the study is comparing pathohistological picture and test results of the activity of the enzymes of the anti-oxidative protection -cytoplasmic super-oxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) from the blood and endometrium in the promotion of the progression or regression of the hyperplasia and endometrium carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study has been carried out on 70 patien...

diapause. Pafr protein was present in a membrane bound form in the glandular epithelium of the endometrium across all stages, analysis studies are in progress to determine any temporal changes in levels of expression. In vitro, paf production from the endometrium increases after diapause (Kojima et al., 1993). p53 expression assessed by RT-PCR, was detected in the endometrium across all stages ...

OBJECTIVE It was hypothesised that the endometrium might act as a reservoir for candida, thus infecting the vagina as the endometrium is shed during menstruation. DESIGN A prospective study of women with recurrent vulvo-vaginal candidiasis. The endometrium was sampled and cultured for candida species. SETTING Central London STD clinic. SUBJECTS 26 women were enrolled, of whom 20 completed...

Apoptosis plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and represents a normal function to eliminate excess or dysfunctional cells. Accumulated evidence suggests that apoptosis helps to maintain cellular homeostasis during the menstrual cycle by eliminating senescent cells from the functional layer of the uterine endometrium during the late secretory and menstrual phase of the cycle....

Endometrium is a unique tissue that is prepared for implantation of blastocyst during each menstrual cycle by expression of genes during a defined period of endometrial receptivity. Induction of gene over-expression in endometrium allows gaining insight on the role that genes play in endometrial function. Here, we show that induction of a state of gene over-expression in endometrium is feasible...

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential correlation between polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (ER)-β gene (RsaI and AluI) and ethnic Han Chinese human idiopathic thin endometrium. A total of 120 patients with idiopathic thin endometrium and 120 sterility patients with normal endometrium thickness (controls) were included in the study. RsaI and AluI polymorphisms of the ER-β ...

DNA fragmentation factors 40 and 45 (DFF40 and DFF45) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) 16 expression were evaluated in the normal human endometrium and myometrium. DFF40, DFF45, 17 and Bcl-2 expression was assessed via immunohistochemistry in the proliferative, secretory, and 18 atrophic endometrium and myometrium collected postmenopausally and premenopausally during 19 the proliferative and secre...

UNLABELLED The aim, of this prospective study was to estimate whether the presence of endometrial fluid detected by transvaginal ultrasound investigation was a marker for the pathological changes of the endometrium in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS 128 postmenopausal women with uterine bleeding and 29 asymptomatic postmenopausal women underwent transvaginal ultrasound investigatio...

Mallory's triple staining is a histochemical technique used mainly for analysing connective tissues and glands and other tissues. We have described the differences in the nuclear staining between eutopic and ectopic endometrium as well as endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma using the Mallory's method. The ultrastructural differences between eutopic and ectopic endometrium have been detec...
