background: women with polycystic ovary syndrome have lower pregnancy rates, possibly due to the decreased uterine  receptivity.successful implantation depends on protein networks that are essential for cross-talk between the embryo and endometrium.apolipoprotein a1 has been proposed as a putative anti-implantation factor. in this study, we evaluated apolipoprotein a1 expression in human endome...

background: the up-regulation of galectin-3, galectin-9, and galectin-15 expression in the luminal and glandular epithelium was reported in preparation of the endometrium for embryo implantation at the midlutheal phase. however, no data was available regarding the expression and the distribution pattern of galectin-8 in the human endometrium during a regular menstrual cycle. objective: the curr...

the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether the explant supernatants prepared from endometrial tissues during the proliferative phase, secretory phase and early pregnancy differ in immunosuppressive activity. specimens of nonpregnant endometrium from hysterectomies and normal first trimester decidua following elective aspiration termination of pregnancy were obtained. super...

BACKGROUND Mechanical endometrial injury prior to IVF has been suggested as a means to increase implantation rates by improving endometrial receptivity. However, the effects of endometrial injury in proliferative vs. luteal phase have not been studied before. This study aimed to explore whether endometrial injury in the proliferative phase of the preceding cycle before in vitro fertilization/em...

Alteration in the release of female steroid hormones like progesterone and estrogen a systematic manner is due to periodic ovarian variation. The alteration causes physiological cardiovascular activities ultimately affects Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. : To analyze heart rate changes PR interval duration ST segment ECG during menstrual phases. investigate any change rate, different phases...

Paraffin-embedded surgical specimens from 69 patients who underwent resections of otherwise untreated Dukes stage C adenocarcinoma of the colon were examined for proliferative activity, DNA aneuploidy, DNA index, and proportion of aneuploid cells by flow cytometry. Results were correlated to clinical characteristics of the patients and to overall survival times. DNA aneuploid tumors were identi...

BACKGROUND Cell properties, such as attachment, adhesion and invasion, are important for the normal function of the endometrium. However, it is believed that the same properties may also be involved in the development of gynaecological diseases, such as endometriosis. Endometrial cells, shed by retrograde menstruation, may have an aberrant expression of molecules involved in these functions, le...
