Segmentation of Fertilization with High-intensity Focused Ultrasound in Repeated Implantation Failure with Adenomyosis.

Adenomyosis is a complex issue in reproductive-age women not only on worsening of quality of life due to severe dysmenorrhea or heavy menstrual bleeding but also on the impact of infertility. A 39-year-old female, gravida 0 para 0, with a history of bilateral ovarian endometrioma post laparoscopic surgery presented to our hospital due to suspected deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE), adenomyosis, and repeated implantation failure. Initially, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog treatment for DIE with progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol was arranged.

Novel mutation of MAP3K1 gene in 46,XY DSD with complete gonadal dysgenesis.

Objective: Swyer syndrome, or 46, XY complete gonadal dysgenesis, is a disorder of human sexual development which present with female external genitalia, lack of female reproductive organs, and a 46, XY karyotype. Many genes that participate in human sexual development have been implicated in the pathogenesis of 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis.

Case Report: A 18-year-old phenotypically female was presented with primary amenorrhea.

The pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory role of hyaluronic acid in endometriosis.

Objective: Endometriosis is a bothersome disease affected women worldwide, the mechanism of disease development is still under investigation. Several inflammatory responses after clinical hyaluronic acid (HA) use were reported. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 mediated inflammation pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Variants in Maternal Effect Genes and Relaxed Imprinting Control in a Special Placental Mesenchymal Dysplasia Case with Mild Trophoblast Hyperplasia.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) placentas share similar characteristics, such as placental overgrowth and grape-like placental tissues. Distinguishing PMD from PHM is critical because the former can result in normal birth, while the latter diagnosis will lead to artificial abortion. Aneuploidy and altered dosage of imprinted gene expression are implicated in the pathogenesis of PHM and also some of the PMD cases.

NLRP7 contributes to in vitro decidualization of endometrial stromal cells.

Background: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NACHT), leucine rich repeat (LRR) and pyrin domain (PYD) 7 containing protein, NLRP7, is a member of the NLR family which serves as innate immune sensors. Mutations and genetic variants of NLRP7 have been found in women with infertility associated conditions, such as recurrent hydatidiform mole, recurrent miscarriage, and preeclampsia. Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells is a hallmark of tissue remodeling to support embryo implantation and proper placental development.
