Ultrastructural Modifications of Human Endometrium during the Window of Implantation
The endometrium is a highly dynamic tissue empowered with the capacity to undergo cyclic dramatic changes in response to ovarian steroid hormones, ultimately aiming to create a window of receptivity for blastocyst implantation. Intensive research has been performed to understand and establish morphological and molecular correlates of embryo implantation. However, it still remains a biological m...
متن کاملExperimental model of human corpus cavernosum smooth muscle relaxation.
PURPOSE To describe a technique for en bloc harvesting of the corpus cavernosum, cavernous artery and urethra from transplant organ donors and contraction-relaxation experiments with corpus cavernosum smooth muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS The corpus cavernosum was dissected to the point of attachment with the crus penis. A 3 cm segment (corpus cavernosum and urethra) was isolated and placed in...
متن کاملTraumatic rupture of corpus cavernosum.
Traumatic rupture of corpora cavernosa is an uncommon injury. We report a case of fractured penis in a 60 year old which was managed by immediate exploration and operative repair. Post operative recovery was uneventful with full return of erectile function.
متن کاملCase Series of Lipid Accumulation in the Human Corpus Cavernosum
Erectile dysfunction is a prevalent problem affecting millions of men in the United States and around the world. There have been no reports of the presence of lipids within the human penile corporal bodies, whether in normal or diseased states. We present here a case series of 9 patients who underwent penile corporal tissue biopsy during penile prosthesis insertion with severe intracorporal fib...
متن کاملMineralocorticoid receptor expression in human penile corpus cavernosum.
OBJECTIVES Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is known to play physiological and pathophysiological roles in the cardiovascular system, and MR activation directly damages these organs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of MR and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) in the human penile corpus cavernosum. METHODS MR and 11β-HSD2 expression was assayed in human peni...
