Attitudes toward oocyte donation among medical and nursing students and couples who have recently become parents: A Swedish studyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Respondents' attitudes were unaffected by anonymity of the donation, financial compensation and knowing the outcome of the donation. However, the data suggest that respondents who were positive toward organ donation in general were also more positive toward donating/partner donating and receiving/partner receiving oocytes.

Different regulation of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-1, -2 and -3 in human endometrial stromal cells during decidualization in vitroEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: These results suggest a regulatory role of the TIMP system for endometrial differentiation in the second half of the menstrual cycle and in early implantation. The expression pattern of endometrial TIMP-3 might be important for the regulation of trophoblast invasion. (Reprod Med Biol 2008; 7: 169[ndash]175)

A case of mosaic Klinefelter syndrome associated with isodicentric YpEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We describe a case of mosaic Klinefelter syndrome demonstrating an isodicentric Y chromosome. A 70-year-old man visited our outpatient clinic complaining of dysuria resulting from atrophy of the penis. His height was 170 cm and his weight was 60 kg. A serum hormonal analysis revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. A chromosomal analysis with fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed four cell lines in which the karyotypes were 47,XXY, 46,XY, 46,XX and 47,XX,idic(Y) (q11.2). To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of mosaic Klinefelter syndrome bearing an isodicentric Y chromosome. The origin of the isodicent...

Experience of sexual violence among sexually experienced Japanese teenage girls and influencing factorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: It is important to identify teenage girls attending obstetrics and gynecology clinics at risk of sexual violence and to teach them about the risks of sexual behavior associated with imbalances of power. Furthermore, it is essential to support victims of sexual violence to protect them from the recurrence of such abuse. (Reprod Med Biol 2008; 7: 181[ndash]187)

The present status of artificial oocyte activation in assisted reproductive technologyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the most effective treatment for achieving fertilization in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, fertilization failure occurs. The incidence of fertilization failure after ICSI is 1[ndash]5%. Approximately 50% of fertilization failure cases could be attributed to the abnormality of sperm factor. As the fertilization fails after ICSI using mature sperm, round spermatids and globozoospermia, artificial oocyte activation may provide a means of improving fertilization rates in such cases. The oocyte activation treatments used in clinical research include calcium (Ca) ionop...

Conclusions: The number of transferable embryos produced by post-partum superovulated suckling Japanese Black cattle was affected by the level of total cholesterol from parturition until 30 days after parturition.
