Characterization of pure human first-trimester cytotrophoblast cells in long-term culture: growth pattern, markers, and hormone production.
TL;DR: Pure long-term cytotrophoblast cultures established from human first-trimester placentas by growing chorionic villus explants without enzymatic digestion demonstrated epithelial morphologic features and availability of pure, functionally competent human cytotrophic cells in long- term cultures is relevant for further studies in reproduction biology.

Progestins increase endogenous opioid peptide activity in postmenopausal women.
TL;DR: It is suggested that progestins exert their negative feedback effects on LH at least in part through an opioid peptide-mediated mechanism and that Provera treatment alone can reestablish opiatergic control of LH.

Premenstrual syndrome: Documentation by a linear analog scale compared with two descriptive scales
TL;DR: The results suggest that the linear analog scale may be a useful clinical tool in the study of premenstrual syndrome and that its sensitivity to detect changes in symptom severity throughout the menstrual cycle may prove useful in evaluating the effects of therapy for premen menstruation syndrome.
