Article Synopsis
- Ovarian insufficiency is a problem for women who survive cancer, and a new method called ovarian tissue cryopreservation helps preserve their ability to have babies.
- After transplanting frozen ovarian tissue, a patient started producing hormones again and eventually got a healthy baby through IVF.
- This study shows that it's possible to refreeze ovarian tissue and successfully use it later for women who have gone through cancer treatment and surgery for endometriosis.
Purpose: In this prospective trial, we evaluated the influence of chemotherapy for breast cancer on women's health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), sexual function, and mental status.
Methods: The patients completed validated questionnaires on HR-QoL, sexual function, and depression before, during, and at the end and finally 6 months after chemotherapy. Special attention was paid to possible differences between pre- and postmenopausal patients.
Objective: To elucidate the mode of action of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) in reducing dysmenorrheic pain by studying the effects of CMA and dexamethasone (DEX) on messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), annexin-1 (ANXA1), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), progesterone receptor (PR), and concentrations of prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)) and leukotrienes B(4) (LTB(4)) and C(4) (LTC(4)) in human endometrial explants.
Design: Ex vivo study.
Setting: University hospital.
Embryo implantation is a crucial step in human reproduction and depends on the timely development of a receptive endometrium. The human endometrium is unique among adult tissues due to its dynamic alterations during each menstrual cycle. It hosts the implantation process which is governed by progesterone, whereas 17β-estradiol regulates the preceding proliferation of the endometrium.
