Background: This study aimed to determine the alteration of endometrial expression levels of genes and HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) in mid-luteal phase endometrium in patients with hydrosalpinx before and after salpingectomy.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, 14 infertile women with unilateral hydrosalpinx who were scheduled for laparoscopic salpingectomy were evaluated. The presence of hydrosalpinx was confirmed by hysterosalpingography or transvaginal 2D-ultrasonography.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that occurs in between 6 and 10% of women who are at reproductive maturity. The presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity is the defining characteristic of this disease. Although the etiology of endometriosis remains controversial, there is a general consensus that multiple biological processes such as angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation contribute to its complex pathophysiology.

Numerous studies have shown that an improper diet in parents has a negative impact on offspring's health. Furthermore, the negative effects of trans fatty acids (TFA) in maternal diets on fertility and health and their impact on future generations have been documented. However, there is limited research on the negative effects of TFA in paternal diets on male children.

Article Synopsis
  • * Data from 2,500 infertile males were reviewed, narrowing it down to 198 cases with chromosomal abnormalities; most commonly observed were reciprocal translocations, with notable frequencies on chromosomes 13, 14, and 1.
  • * The research suggested that certain breakpoints might be associated with different types of infertility, and identified 19 genes with significant expression changes in azoospermic patients, indicating their relevance to male infertility.

Our study probed the differences in ion channel gene expression in the endometrium of women with Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) compared to fertile women. We analyzed the relative expression of genes coding for T-type Ca2+, ENaC, CFTR, and KCNQ1 channels in endometrial samples from 20 RIF-affected and 10 control women, aged 22-35, via microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR. Additionally, we examined DNA methylation in the regulatory region of KCNQ1 using ChIP real-time PCR.
