Objective: To compare the expression profiles of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and its receptors in occluded tubes of infertile women with those of control patients and to evaluate the potential correlation with postsurgical pregnancy outcome. Methods: The expression profiles of TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 1R1, and TGF-beta 1R2 in occluded fallopian tubes were compared using immunohistochemistry between 60 infertile patients with adhered tubes and 60 control patients with normal tubes; potential correlations with postsurgical fertility were evaluated at 2-year follow up. Results: Immunostainings of TGF-beta 1, TGF-beta 1R1, and TG beta 1R2 were all significantly elevated in patients with adhered tubes compared with normal specimens (P
