background: the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage of the stem cells population in human endometrial tissue sections and cultured cells at fourth passage. methods: human endometrial specimens were divided into two parts, one part for morphological studies and the other part for in vitro culture. full thickness of human normal endometrial sections and cultured endometrial cells ...

endometrial calcification along with ossification is an uncommon clinical entity. most of the cases are asymptomatic or present with secondary infertility. endometrial ossification associated with repeated abortions has been reported very infrequently. here we report a case of endometrial calcification with ossification  due to retained fetal bony tissue in a 38 year old symptomatic female havi...

introduction: this study was designed to investigate the characters of the human endometrial epithelial cells when cultured on either plastic or ecm (extracellular matrix) gel surface and to study ultrastructural features of cultured cells in comparison to endometrial tissue. material and methods: human endometrial tissue was obtained from patients who had undergone hysterectomy for uterine myo...

OBJECTIVES To explore the roles of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in the development and progression of endometrial carcinoma, and to analyze the correlation between Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs. METHODS RT-PCR and Western-blot assay were applied to detect the expressions of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in endometrial tissues of various histomorphologic types. RESULTS The Bcl-xl expression levels of simple and atypical hyper...

objective: endometriosis is a common disease in which the endometrial stroma and glands grow abnormally outside the uterine cavity. the establishment of animal models can be effective for determining the etiology of endometriosis. in this study we compare two endometriosis models using endometrial fragments and isolated cultured endometrial cells. methods: we obtained endometrial tissues that ...

Background: It is assumed that adult stem/progenitor cells are responsible for cycling remodeling of the uterus endometrium throughout the reproductive life of the female. This study aimed to identify and localize stem/progenitor cells in the mice uterus using immunohistochemistry. Materials and Methods: 6-8 weeks old virgin female NMRI mice were submitted to the vaginal smear examination to de...

SUMMARY To determine the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) and endometrial carcinogenesis by comparing data from women with endometrial carcinoma to those of women with normal endometrial tissue. The survey was conducted for 100 women (50 with endometrial carcinoma and 50 with normal endometrial tissue) through HPV-DNA testing of paraffin-embedded endometrial tissue sections by po...

Endometriosis, characterized by the growth of the endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity, is a gynecological disorder affecting 6‑10% of women of reproductive age. However, the pathogenesis of endometriosis and the molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of this disease remain to be clarified. Therefore, in this study two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2‑DE) combined...
