the main role of cumulus cells (cc) is to provide nutritious materials for developing oocytes. follicular fluid (ff) contains the enzyme acid phosphatase, which plays a role in ovulation and fertilization of oocyte. the objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the levels of acid phosphatase in ff and the rate of apoptosis in cc of fertilized and unfertilized oocytes in intracytoplasm...

background polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a common disease in young women that is associated with infertility and other complications such as obesity, hirsutism and insulin resistance and also the disorder that mostly is specified with oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhea with clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperandrogenemia. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate whether mea...

about release-modulating receptors at noradrenergic axon terminals. Receptors for angiotensin, acetylcholine, prostaglandins, opioids, and adrenergic agents are discussed separately, followed by general problems such as the cellular mechanism of modulation and the general significance of presynaptic receptors. [The SCV’ indicates that this paper has been cited in over 1,035 publications, making...

Analytical calculation is presented of the QCD radiative corrections to the rate of the process b ! cc and to the lepton longitudinal polarization in rest frame. The results are given in the form of one dimensional infrared nite integrals over the invariant mass of the leptons. We argue that this form may be optimal for phenomelogical applications due to a possible breakdown of semilocal hadron...

We address the problem of suggesting who to add as an additional recipient (i.e. cc, or carbon copy) for an email under composition. We address the problem using graphical models for words in the body and subject line of the email as well as the recipients given so far on the email. The problem of cc prediction is closely related to the problem of expert finding in an organization. We show that...

Background: Different protocols are used for controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH), but the optimal method has not yet been determined. So we decided to compare the outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation using clomiphen citrate +HMG versus clomiphen citrate +rFSH in IUI cycles. Materials and Methods: 144 women with unexplained or male factor infertility undergoing IUI cycles (72 patient...
