Obstetric outcomes of patients undergoing total laparoscopic radical trachelectomy for early stage cervical cancer.

Objective: To assess the obstetric outcomes of our total laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (TLRT) cases for early stage cervical cancer.

Materials And Methods: A total of 56 patients who underwent TLRT between December 2001 and August 2012 were reviewed retrospectively using clinicopathological, surgical, and follow-up data from patients' medical records.

Results: We performed this operation on 56 patients during the study period.

Successful delivery derived from vitrified-warmed spermatozoa from a patient with nonobstructive azoospermia.

Objective: To report the clinical outcomes following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with vitrified sperm from patients with severe male factor infertility.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Setting: IVF unit of a medical center.

Scar endometriosis after a laparotomy for uterine perforation as a complication of dilatation and curettage.

Background: Ectopic endometriosis is an uncommon disease. Abdominal scar endometriosis is especially rare.

Significant association between Helicobacter pylori infection and serum C-reactive protein.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in gastric mucosa may cause systemic inflammatory reaction. This study aimed to examine the association between the infection and serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

PTEN and Akt expression during growth of human ovarian follicles.

Purpose: To assess the expression of PTEN and total and phosphorylated Akt in human ovarian follicles during follicular growth.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry of ovarian tissues and Western blotting and immunofluorescence of primary cultured luteinized granulosa cells for PTEN and Akt.

Results: Immunoreactivity of Akt was found in the oocytes, granulosa cells and theca cells in primordial follicles, follicles at each growing stage and luteal cells.

Oral progestogen versus intramuscular progesterone for luteal support after assisted reproductive technology treatment: a prospective randomized study.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of oral progestogen, chlormadinone acetate, and intramuscular (IM) progesterone for luteal support in patients, undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment, who were treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa).

Methods: This was a prospective randomized study of 40 patients with normal and high response (serum estradiol > 2,000 pg/ml) in GnRHa down-regulation. Patients were randomized to receive either oral chlormadinone acetate or IM progesterone.

The plausibility of Helicobacter pylori-related infertility in Japan.

The aim of the present study was to confirm the seropositive rate of Helicobacter pylori to which antibodies cross-react with spermatozoon flagella in patients with infertility. Of the 204 patients in whom the anti-H. pylori IgG antibody in serum and follicular fluids were measured, 45 (22.
