  1. GA, gestational age. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 16.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).
  2. A nonparametric, unpaired test (Kruskal-Wallis test) followed by Dunnett'spost hoc test was used for comparison of continuous variables.
  3. ▲ p<0.05, ▲▲ p<0.01 vs. the proliferative phase of the endometrial cycle; ## p<0.01, ### p<0.001 vs. the early stage of intrauterine pregnancy;
  4. * p<0.05 vs. ectopic pregnancy (before surgery, β-hCG< 1,000mIU/mL).
