Objective: To investigate the role of estimating endometrial volume and it's correlation with endometrial thickness, on the day of hCG, in prediction of IVF outcome. Design: A prospective clinical study. Materials and methods: Endometrial volume and endometrial thickness were measured in women undergoing an IVF/ICSI cycle, on the day of HCG, using the 3 D transvaginal ultrasound probe (Sonoace ...

Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) is a pathological condition characterised by hyperplastic changes in endometrial glandular and stromal structures lining the uterine cavity. Endometrial hyperplasia, particularly with atypia, is a significant clinical concern because it can be a precursor of endometrial cancer. Accurate diagnosis of precancerous lesions of the endometrium and exclusion of coexisting...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study is to determine clinical factors and sonographic findings associated with endometrial hyperplasia or cancer (EH+) in premenopausal and perimenopausal women. METHODS A total of 14,340 transvaginal ultrasonography examinations of 9,888 healthy premenopausal and perimenopausal women were included in this retrospective study. One hundred sixty-two subjects underwent...

Endometrial serous carcinoma (ESC) is the most aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer. Its aggressive behavior and poor clinical outcome may be partially attributed to lack of early diagnostic markers and unclear patho-genesis. The transcription factor Erythroid-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a recently identified protein marker, which plays a role in carcinogenesis as well as responsible for ...

INTRODUCTION Endometrial hyperplasia represents a diversified set of disorders which has challenged pathologists for decades. Due to its high likelihood of progression to carcinoma, endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) demands prompt and specialized intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS This 15-month (September 2014 - November 2015) retrospective analysis involved 258 cases of female pat...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that p38 and c-jun operate as mediators of cell proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, by studying the roles of c-jun and p38 in the proliferation and differentiation of normal human endometrial cells, we can better understand the mechanism of these processes in endometrial cells. METHODS Separation of glandular and stromal components was based on a modi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate preopertive accuracy of endometrial thickness for assesment of histologic grade and stage of endometrial carcinoma and also determining a cut-off value for the determination of grade of endometrial carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data of 105 patients who underwent surgical staging with endometrial carcinoma were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperatively endometr...

background: due to increasing clinical demand for adipose tissue, a suitable cell for reconstructive adipose tissue constructs is needed. in this study, we investigated the ability of human endometrial-derived stem cells (enscs) as a new source of mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into adipocytes. enscs are the abundant and easy available source with no immunological response, for cell re...

endometrial stromal sarcoma represents a very rare pathological entity occurring as a malignant disease in women genital sphere, frequently in the age group of 40-50 years. low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (lgess) is a rare uterine sarcoma constituting 0.2% of all the uterine malignancies with a good prognosis despite a tendency to recur. we report a case of 42 years old woman presented wi...

STUDY QUESTION How can we study the full transcriptome of endometrial stromal and epithelial cells at the single-cell level? SUMMARY ANSWER By compiling and developing novel analytical tools for biopsy, tissue cryopreservation and disaggregation, single-cell sorting, library preparation, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and statistical data analysis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Although single-cell trans...
