background: endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation which leads to infertility and chronic pelvic pain in affected women. secretory phospholipase a2 type iia (spla2iia) is an acute phase reactant that is markedly increased in inflammatory disorders. objective: to assess the effects of ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) administration in endometrial cells culture on spla2iia ...

Background: It is assumed that adult stem/progenitor cells are responsible for cycling remodeling of the uterus endometrium throughout the reproductive life of the female. This study aimed to identify and localize stem/progenitor cells in the mice uterus using immunohistochemistry. Materials and Methods: 6-8 weeks old virgin female NMRI mice were submitted to the vaginal smear examination to de...

The endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. They are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. Although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in...

background: endometriosis, a common chronic inflammatory disorder, is defined by the atypical growth of endometrium- like tissue outside of the uterus. secretory phospholipase a2 group iia (spla2-iia) and fatty acid binding protein4 (fabp4) play several important roles in the inflammatory diseases. objective: due to reported potential anti-inflammatory effects of ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids, the pu...

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...

Background and Objective: Primary fallopian tube carcinomas (PFTC) are rare tumors with non-specific clinical presentations. The current case was unique since the tumor was first detected on endometrial curettage and clinicoradiologically was misdiagnosed as endometrial carcinoma.Case Report: A 48-year-old, post-menopausal female presented with one episod...

Background: Recent attention has focused on the expression of integrin molecules within the endometrium, and their relation to infertility. Objective: The present prospective study was undertaken to determine whether the endometrium of women with unexplained infertility differs in the expression of very late activation antigens (VLA) from the endometrium of normal fertile women. Methods: Thirty...

BACKGROUND The incidence and death rates of endometrial cancer are alarmingly increasing. The diagnosis and treatment of endometrial cancer is crucial to decreasing mortality. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) belongs to the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter family and plays an essential role in anion regulation and tissue homeostasis of various ...

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...
