The problem of the absorption of grafted tissue is of theoretical as well as practical significance. As regards transplantation for clinical purposes, much thought has been given to the human ovary. According to Zondek and Wolff, both homotransplants and heterotransplants of fresh or preserved ovarian tissue of human origin are rapidly absorbed after implantation in man and the lower animals, a...

background and objectives: presence of steroid hormone receptors (estrogen and progesterone) in the tumor tissues of various organs correlates with response to therapy and prognosis. since their role in ovarian cancer is still controversial, in this study we investigated the expression and prognostic value of the estrogen receptor (er) and progesterone receptors (pr) in ovarian papillary serous...

The first tissue-specific angiogenic molecule, endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF), was identified recently in human ovary, raising hopes of developing tumor type-specific angiogenesis inhibitors. In the present study, we analyzed the expression of EG-VEGF mRNA in normal human tissues and ovarian neoplasms by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR. EG-...

there are currently ‎many different protocols in use for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh), but the optimal method has ‎not yet been determined. to compare the outcome of coh using ‎clomiphene citrate (cc) versus cc plus human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (iui), we studied 117 infertile couples‎. iui with cc was used in 92 cycles ‎(group a)...

The receptor-tyrosine-kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is a transmembrane protein belongs to receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. This study aimed to examine the expression of ROR1 in human ovarian cancer and investigate the relationship between its expression and the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. In this present study, one-step quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain ...

BACKGROUND In the past few years, cryopreservation of ovarian tissue has become an established procedure proposed in many centers around the world and transplantation has successfully resulted in full-term pregnancies and deliveries in human. This prospective study aims to evaluate the feasibility of vitrifying in vitro matured oocytes (IVM) isolated at the time of ovarian tissue cryopreservati...

Mice have been used in ovarian cancer research mainly as hosts for cell lines derived from human ovarian tumors and ascites. Such models provided valuable information into the nature of metastatic ovarian cancer and possible treatment strategies. However, the complexity of genetic aberrations in human ovarian cancer cell lines precluded understanding of the initiating events responsible for ova...
