    Författare :Ann-Cathrin Hellström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :primary fallopian tube cancer; prognosis; symtoms; treatment; staging; DNA ploidy; cell proliferation; tumor angiogenesis; p53; p21WAF I expression; HPV; CGH; PCRSSCP; CDGE;

    Sammanfattning : Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC) is a rare and aggressive gynecologic malignancy and it accounts for less than 5% of all genital female cancers according to the Swedish Cancer Registry. In a retrospective study we have analysed histopathological, clinical, biological and prognostic factors among patients with PFTC. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Progesterone's effect on factors that influence gamete transport in the fallopian tube

    Författare :Anna Bylander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Progesterone; Fallopian tube;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The fallopian tube plays an important role for successful female reproduction as it transport gametes to the fertilization site, nourish the developing embryo and transport it to the uterus at the suitable time for implantation. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of progesterone in control of gamete transport. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The role of progesterone in the regulation of ciliary activity in the fallopian tube

    Författare :Magdalena Nutu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :progesterone; progesterone receptor; non-genomic progesterone receptor; ciliated cells; fallopian tube; gamete transport; ciliary activity; ciliary beat frequency; reproduction; fertility;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the distribution and regulation of membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) that may be involved in regulating ciliary activity in the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube serves to transport the egg and spermatozoa to achieve fertilization. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Regulation and function of the human fallopian tube

    Författare :Kjell Wånggren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fallopian tube; endometrium; embryo; transport; prostaglandin; receptors; progesterone; mifepristone; LIF; LIFR; gp130;

    Sammanfattning : The Fallopian tube is essential for human reproduction. Transport of the spermatozoa, the egg, and later the pre-embryo is believed to be aided by muscular contractions in the wall of the Fallopian tube and cilia in the mucosa. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of mifepristone on the human endometrium and the fallopian tube during the luteal phase

    Författare :Xiaoxi Sun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Mifepristone; endometrial receptivity; emergency contraception; PR-B; eNOS; IGFBP-1; PRL; HB-EGF; HB-EGF receptors HER1 and HER4;

    Sammanfattning : Mifepristone given postovulatory has been shown effective for contraception, but the precise mechanism of action is still poorly understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of mifepristone, when used for contraception, is important for further development and optimizing the regimen of use. LÄS MER
