It means 50 - 80 million couples have infertility problem. Knowledge about comprehensive and profound reproductive system is main asset for managing infertility. When look at various factors those contribute to women infertility, so the role of endometrium is very important. The optimal endometrial environment for receiving blastocyst is a major factor in the process of implantation and pregnancy. This study attempts to review and compare sources from research article, case report, and reviews from reputable international journals. Research by Germeyer et all (2010) shows that optimal growth and development of endometrium are factors those greatly contributes for successful implantation which is continued to pregnancy. The same thing is revealed by Neykova review (2020) which states the success implantation process is determined by the quality of the embryo, the readiness of the endometrium to accept the result of conception and interaction, and communication of molecular cells. Currently, various studies are being developed for evaluating endometrium condition through genetic improvement, the use of new biomarkers, non-invasive method even sophisticated method such as proteomic technique Endometrial Receptivity Assay (ERA) in order to solve women infertility problem.

Introduction Secondary infertility is when a married Infertility is a source of complaints and couple who had previously had children anxiety for married couples. Infertility cannot have children again for two years affects about 50 - 80 million couples in the even though the couple is not using world [1]. In Indonesia there are contraceptives and is not breastfeeding [3]. approximately 12% of infertile couples [2]. The cause of infertility can come from Infertility is defined as the inability of a the husband or wife, or both. According to married couple to become pregnant for a statistics, 40% of infertility occurs in the period of six months to one year without female reproductive system, 40% occurs in using contraceptives and having active the male reproductive system, and 20% has intercourse [1]. no known cause [3]. Infertility in the female WHO Scientific Group classifies reproductive system can be caused by infertility into two types, namely primary several things, including menstrual infertility if a husband and wife have not abnormalities, abnormalities in the fallopian had children for two years even though the tubes, ovaries, and endometrial lining of the couple does not use contraceptives. uterus [1].

  • Progesterone Shifts the Pinopodes Expression of Mouse Endometrium to Pre-Implantation Time After Ovarian Hyperstimulation
    Iranian Journal of Reproductive Medicine Vol.1, No.1 pp. 20-23, 2003. Progesterone Shifts the Pinopodes Expression of Mouse Endometrium to Pre-Implantation Time After Ovarian Hyperstimulation Mojdeh Salehnia , Ph.D. Department of Anatomy, School of Medical Sciences, Tarbiat Modarres University, Tehran, Iran. Background: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between ultrastructural studies for pinopodes expression after ovarian hyperstimulation and progesterone injection in mice. Materials and Methods: Adult NMRI mice were superovulated using human menopasual gonadotropic (hMG) and human chorionic gonadotropic (hCG) hormones; after that, daily injection of progesterone (1 mg/mouse) was performed. Animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation 3.5 and 4.5 days after hCG injection. Tissues of uterine horns were obtained and processed for scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy studies. The pseudopregnant control samples were studied same as experimental groups. Results: The SEM and TEM observations showed that in control groups on 3.5 days of pregnancy, there were some pinopodes. All apical cell surfaces expressed these projections on the forth day. In progestrone-injected group, well developed pinopods were expressed 3.5 days after hCG injection and they were transformed to small projections on the fourth day following hCG injection. Also, the life span of pinopods was limited to a short time. At the TEM levels, the pinopods were seen as swelling process on the apical surface, which were more pronounced on day 3.5 of hCG injection in hyperstimulated and progestrone injection. Conclusion: The progestrone may cause premature expression of pinopodes and the implantation failure after ovarian induction may be due to these timing changes.

Our knowledge of the targets for LIF and the consequences of its absence is still very incomplete. In this study, we have examined the ultrastructure of the potential implantation site in LIF-null MF1 female mice compared to that of wild type animals. We also compared expression of proteins associated with implantation in luminal epithelium and stroma. Luminal epithelial cells (LE) of null animals failed to develop apical pinopods, had increased glycocalyx, and retained a columnar shape during the peri-implantation period. Stromal cells of LIF-null animals showed no evidence of decidual giant cell formation even by day 6 of pregnancy. A number of proteins normally expressed in decidualizing stroma did not increase in abundance in the LIF-null animals including desmin, tenascin, Cox-2, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 and -7, and Hoxa-10.

Materials and Methods: Forty women with successful implantation and forty women without implantation with regular cycles were randomly selected from prospectively collected database of assisted reproductive technology clinic of Zeynep Kamil Women And Children’s Health Training and Research Hospital. TETEMC was calculated for each case to assess relationship with the successful implantation. Results: Comparison of groups revealed significant differences with regard to TETEMC and the menstrual period (p<0.05). In ROC analyses both the TETEMC (AUC=0.824, p<0.001) and the menstrual period (AUC=0.797, p<0.001) were significant predictors for clinical pregnancy. Cut off value for the menstrual period was found to be 27.5 days with 82.6% sensitivity and 65% specificity. Cut off value for TETEMC was 11.5 days with 75% sensitivity and 63.2% specificity.

Cover picture from iStock by Getty Images (iStockphoto LP.) A meus pais e a miña irmá, SUMMARY Implantation failure is a major cause of human infertility and currently the most limiting step in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). It can be caused by both maternal and embryonic factors, as well as by defective crosstalk between them. Due to technical and ethical limitations, it is not possible to study human implantation in vivo. The knowledge about implantation has been mainly obtained from animal models which fail to represent the physiology of the human process. Additionally, a number of in vitro studies have investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying implantation, mostly focussing on either the embryo or the endometrium in a unilateral manner.

  • Characteristics and Possible Function of Pinopodes Seen on the Surface of the Receptive Human Endometrium
    Vol. 10, No. 1, 2005 Middle East Fertility Society Journal © Copyright Middle East Fertility Society OPINION Characteristics and possible function of pinopodes seen on the surface of the receptive human endometrium Anneli C. Stavreus-Evers, Ph.D. Department of Clinical Science, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT A synchronized development of embryo and endometrium is a prerequisite for a successful implantation. During the time of implantation, pinopodes appear on the endometrial surface. The precise function of these structural markers of endometrial receptivity is not known, but it is generally believed that they play a role in the implantation process. Further understanding of the function of these biomarkers and their role in embryo implantation could aid in better diagnosis and treatment of infertile couples in the future.

Blastocyst loosely attaches to pinopode via L-selectin ligand (MECA- 79). We hypothesized that pinopode and MECA-79 expressions were affected by testosterone. Therefore, the ef- fect of testosterone on pinopode and MECA-79 expressions during uterine receptivity period were investigated. Methods: Ovariectomized adult female rats received 8 days sex-steroid replacement intended to mimic hormonal changes in early pregnancy with day 6 to 8 represents uterine receptivity period. Testosterone (1 mg/kg/day) was injected together with flutamide or finasteride during the period of uterine receptivity. At the end of treatment, rats were sacrificed and uteri were removed. The existence of pinopodes in the endometrium was visualized by electron microscopy and uterine expression and distribution of MECA-79 protein were examined by Western blotting and im- munohistochemistry (IHC) respectively. Results: Abundant pinopodes and MECA-79 expressions were observed in rats received normal steroid replacement regime.
