Utero-Tubal Implantation

Utero-tubal embryo transfer and vasectomy in the mouse model.

The transfer of preimplantation embryos to a surrogate female is a required step for the production of genetically modified mice or to study the effects of epigenetic alterations originated during preimplantation development on subsequent fetal development and adult health. The use of an effective and consistent embryo transfer technique is crucial to enhance the generation of genetically modif...

Expression of Progesterone Receptor in the Utero-tubal Junction after Intra-uterine Insemination in Sows

Introduction Recently, a new procedure for intrauterine insemination (IUI) in sows has been established (1,2). The procedure consists of a specially designed catheter that can be passed through the cervix allowing the deposition of sperm in the uterus. Using this technique, the number of spermatozoa per dose can be reduced by up to 1 billion spermatozoa. It has been demonstrated that the IUI te...

Utero-Tubal Insufflation: A Clinical Diagnostic Method of Determining the Tubal Factor in Sterility Including Therapeutic Aspects and Comparative Notes on Hysterosalpingography

Expression of integrins and extracellular matrix proteins at the maternal-fetal interface during tubal implantation.

Investigation of the expression pattern of integrins and their extracellular matrix (ECM) ligands in trophoblasts at the maternal-fetal interface during tubal pregnancy may aid better understanding of the adhesion and invasion of acceptable maternal endometrium by trophoblast cells at the very early stage of human gestation. In this study, spatial and temporal alterations of integrins and ECM l...

Tubal ligation

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for sterilization in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked, or severed and sealed, either method of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation. However, fertilization can still occur in the fallopian tubes. While its benefits, such as effectiveness in protecting against pregnancies, minimal need for long-term follow-up ...
