The effects of endometrial thickness on outcomes of pregnancy following embryo transfer: A retrospective cohort.

Objective: The safety of assisted reproductive technology can be assessed by examining birth weight as an outcome measure. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of endometrial thickness during embryo transfer on newborn birth weight and preterm labor.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at the infertility department of a teaching hospital affiliated with a university of medical sciences.

The obesity associated FTO gene polymorphism and the risk of preeclampsia in Iranian women: A case-control study.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the leading disorders in pregnant women with maternal and fetal complications. Obesity is considered an important risk factor for the development of PE. Genetic variations in fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene may play a role in the development of PE.

Clinical and laboratory features in women with different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Misdiagnosis is still an obstacle in the workup of polycystic ovary syndrome. We compared patients' characteristics among phenotypes of the syndrome and assessed the association of the characteristics with oligo-anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovary.

Methods: In the infertility department of a teaching hospital, we performed a cross-sectional study.

High-Level Expression of RIPK4 and EZH2 Contributes to Lymph Node Metastasis and Predicts Favorable Prognosis in Patients With Cervical Cancer.

The investigation of specific genes will establish more useful biomarkers for accurate detection and management of gynecological cancers, especially patients with cervical cancer (CCP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression level of RIPK4 and EZH2 messenger RNA (RIPK4 and EZH2 mRNA) in CCP. Expression of RIPK4 and EZH2 in the tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR methods.

The role and expression of miR-100 and miR-203 profile as prognostic markers in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of miR-100 and miR-203 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients.

Methods: The expression levels of miR-100/203 in EOC tissue and adjacent non-cancerous samples were determined by real-time RT-PCR. Associations between miRNAs expressions and various clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.

Evaluation of mRNA expression levels of IL-17A and IL-10 cytokines in cervical cancer.

In this study, we evaluated mRNA expression levels of interleukin (IL)-10/IL-17A by quantitative real-time PCR and their clinical importance in cervical cancer. The IL-10 mRNA levels were higher in cervical cancer tissues as compared with corresponding normal tissues (p < 0.05).

Prevalence of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis in High Vaginal Swab Samples of Infertile Females.

Background: Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are important causative agents of vaginitis, cervicitis, postpartum sepsis, reproductive infections and infertility in both males and females.

Objectives: According to the uncertain prevalence of U. urealyticum and M.

Clinical significance and expression of the PRSS3 and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family verprolin-homologous protein 1 for the early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer.

In this study, we evaluate the clinical significance of the PRSS3 and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family verprolin-homologous protein 1 (WAVE1) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) by immunohistochemistry.In current study, all adjacent non-cancerous tissues showed absent or low expression of PRSS3. The expression of PRSS3 was significantly increased in the EOCs than adjacent non-cancerous tissues.

Down-regulated microRNA-124 expression as predictive biomarker and its prognostic significance with clinicopathological features in breast cancer patients.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been documented as playing important roles in cancer development. In this study, we investigated to clarify the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of miR-124 in breast cancer.

Methods: Quantitative Real-time PCR method was used to assess the expression levels of miR-124 in breast cancer patients and the association of miR-124 expression levels with the clinicopathological characteristics in breast cancer patients.
