Primary Fallopian tube carcinoma : occurrence, risk and prognostic factors
… etiological and prognostic factors of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC). We studied the sociodemographic determinants of the incidence of PFTC in Finland and the role of chlamydial infections and human papillomavirus infections as risk factors for PFTC. Serum tumor markers were studied as …

Modeling Pathophysiology of Human Fallopian Tube Using Microfluidic Organ-on-Chip Technology
… serous ovarian carcinomas originate from the fallopian tube epithelium. Understanding the early events of ovarian cancer tumorigenesis in the fallopian tube is crucial for the development of future detection and intervention strategies. This thesis leverages primary human fallopian tube tissue …

The Role of Luteal Phase Fallopian Tube Epithelium in High-grade Ovarian Serous Carcinoma
… histological cancer precursors in the distal fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), supporting the FTE as the source of SerCa. In this thesis I molecularly characterized and compared non-malignant FTE from mutation carriers (FTEb) and control patients (FTEn) to identify alterations that may …

Structural and functional aspects of sperm after transit through the fallopian tube of the sheep
… of capacitation and the acrosome reaction. The Fallopian tube has been accepted as the site of completion of these events while their initiation may occur either in the uterus or in the Fallopian tube. The role and/or interaction of the Fallopian tube with sperm to undergo these molecular …

Comparison of Survival between Patients with Serous Fallopian Tube carcinoma and Serous Adenocarcinoma of the Ovary
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rare, about 0.14-1.8 % prevalence of the total female carcinoma that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Because fallopian tube lies close by ovary, stage and treatment of fallopian tube carcinoma were similar that of ovarian …

TREK-1 confers differential effects on contractile dynamics in myometrium and the oviduct, indicating a unique role in endometriosis and labor
… effects of IL-6 and the role of TREK-1 in the fallopian tube have yet to be fully determined. We hypothesize that an increase in IL-6 leads to reduced contractile activity in the fallopian tube and increased contractility in the myometrium, which may contribute to endometriosis and preterm …

Magnetic Micromotors in Assisted Reproductive Technology
… towards the realization of non-invasive intrafallopian transfer, representing a novel alternative to the current keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) approach to achieve early embryo transfer after in vitro fertilization. In both applications, magnetically actuated micromotors are utilized to …

Structure of uterine mucosa and its bearing on changes in menstruation and pregnancy: Mode of action of foetal structures and opening-up of maternal vessels; Imbedding of human ovum with account of very early specimen; Function of the decidua
… uterine mucosa and in the wall of the pregnant Fallopian Tube. This discovery led, on the one hand, to a study of the structure of the uterine mucous membrane, and, on the other hand, to an extension of the investigations on the mode of action of the foetal elements. By this means I hoped to …

Dissecting the spatio-temporal development of the human reproductive tract
… gene expression in the rostral mesenchyme of the fallopian tube and epididymis. The atlas further revealed that epithelial regionalisation of the fallopian tube and epididymis, likely supporting functions such as sperm maturation in adulthood, is established early in development. In contrast, the …

Design, development and validation of a novel mechanical occlusion device for transcervical sterilization
… are unable to provide an instant occlusion of fallopian tubes. This work aims at the design, development and validation of a novel mechanical occlusion device, which achieve both instant and permanent female sterilization via the transcervical approach. The device is designed to provide an …

The development of a blood-based test of DNA methylation for the earlier detection of high-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer
… evidence supports the theory that the distal fallopian tube is the origin of HGSC and a precursor lesion known as serous tubal epithelial carcinoma (STIC) has been identified. DNA methylation (DNAme) aberrations occur as an early event in carcinogenesis. The use of minimally invasive blood …

Gimdos miomos. Klinikinio atvejo pristatymas ir literatūros apžvalga /
… tubal intraepithelial lesion (STIL) of the right fallopian tube. On the second postoperative day, the patient complained of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fever up to 390C – diagnosed acute peritonitis. Relaparoscopy, abdominal lavage and drainage were performed and a course of antibiotic therapy …

Expression of Usherin in Human Tissues: Implications for Diagnostics and Pathology
… thymus, salivary glands, placenta, ovary, fallopian tube, uterus, and testis. Usherin was absent in many other tissues such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, and brain. This distribution is consistent with the usherin distribution in the mouse. Conservation of usherin is also present at the …

Immunohistochemical and molecular studies on ovarian cancer progression and prognosis
… deposits from 33 cases and benign-appearing fallopian tubes from 38 cases. In addition, an independent gene expression data set with 285 EOC cases was analyzed, and relevant cell line models used for validation of investigative antibodies. In paper I, expression of the androgen receptor (AR) …

Advancing Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics: Discovering Potential Protein Biomarkers in Extracellular Vesicles
… that majority of HGSOCs typically arise from the fallopian tubes (FT), our biomarker search concentrated on proteins present on the surface of EVs released by both FT and HGSOC tissue explants and representative cell lines. Using LC-MS/MS, 985 exo-proteins were identified that comprised the …

Studies on the factors that improve the outcome of IVF-ET
… of TMET was low even if it was easy. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) is preferred to TMET if at least one fallopian tube is patent.The outcome differs when different operators perform ET and the difference in the pregnancy rate for three different operators was found to vary between 35.2%, …
