aims: to evaluate the effect of mouse fallopian tube cell co-culture on the proliferation of human endometrial stromal cells. materials and methods: the endometrial cells were collected from the uterus under hysteroscopy. then the cells were isolated withcollagenase type 3 and passed within the filters with 150 and 40 micrometer sizes respectivelyand then the isolated cells were cultured in dme...

BACKGROUND The physiological regulation of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) within the fallopian tube is important for controlling the transport of gametes and the fertilized ovum. Progesterone influences gamete transport in the fallopian tube of several mammalian species. In fallopian tubes isolated from cows, treatment with 20 micromolar progesterone caused a rapid reduction of the tubal CBF. The...

Although ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in women, little is known about how the cancer initiates and metastasizes. In the last decade, new evidence has challenged the dogma that the ovary is the main source of this cancer. The fallopian tube has been proposed instead as the primary origin of high-grade serous ovarian cancer, the subtype causing 70% of ovarian cancer de...

a case report of the relatively rare condition of a primary hydatidiform mole in the fallopian tube is presented. key words; hydatidiform mole fallopian tube.

The inside of the fallopian tube is covered with epithelial cells. These cells are involved in the transportation of oocytes and sperms in the tube and are important for fertilization to occur. The hormone progesterone has been tested for its effect on the ciliary activity in the fallopian tube and previous studies have shown that progesterone reduces the ciliary beat frequency (CBF). There are...

The fallopian tube plays an important role in successful female reproduction because it transport gametes to the fertilisation site, nourishes the developing embryo and transports the embryo to the uterus at a suitable time for implantation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of progesterone in the control of gamete transport. Ciliary cells are important for the transpor...

Fallopian tube tumors are rare with an incidence of 3.6 per one million. Fallopian tube carcinoma is of epithelial origin and share similar pathogenesis mechanisms with epithelial ovarian cancer. Early obstruction of the fallopian tube results in rapid onset of symptoms such as abdominal pain and distension and patients with fallopian tube carcinoma usually present at an early stage. Treatment ...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy affecting American women. Current hypotheses concerning the etiology of ovarian cancer propose that a reduction in the lifetime number of ovulations decreases ovarian cancer risk. Advanced serous carcinoma shares several biomarkers with fallopian tube epithelial cells, suggesting that some forms of ovarian carcinoma may originate in the...

BACKGROUND: Isolated twisted fallopian tube is an uncommon event, isolated twisted fallopian tube in pregnancy is also very rare. The diagnosis is often difficult and established during the operation. The right fallopian tube is most common affected. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an uncommon twisted left fallopian tube in pregnancy. A 34-year-old G3P2 28 weeks pregnant woman presented with acute...
