Remote ischemic conditioning protects against testicular ischemia∕reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 35 (2), 2020
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of remote ischemic conditioning associated to N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on testicular ischemia∕reperfusion (I∕R) injury in rats. Methods Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into five experimental groups (n=5), as follows: Sham,...

The protective effect of Ganoderma lucidum on testicular torsion/detorsion-induced ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury

Acta cir. bras; 35 (1), 2020
Abstract Purpose To investigate the protective effect of Ganoderma lucidum on testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D)-induced ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Thirty male Wistar albino rats were randomly categorized into 3 groups: Group 1: sham, Group 2 ( T/D): 2,5 hours of ischemia and 7 days of ...

Picroside II attenuates ischemia/reperfusion testicular injury by alleviating oxidative stress and apoptosis through reducing nitric oxide synthesis

Acta cir. bras; 34 (11), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effect of Picroside II on testicular ischemia and reperfusion (l/R) injury and the underlying mechanism. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operated group (Sham), Sham with Picroside II treatment group (Sham+ Pic II), l/R group (l...

Aneurisma de arteria testicular: reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Resumen: Introducción: El aneurisma de la arteria testicular es poco frecuente; el término se describe como la dilatación de cualquier vaso sanguíneo en el cuerpo. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 15 años con un aneurisma de la arteria testicular izquierda sin ningún anteceden...

The protective effect of Papaverine and Alprostadil in rat testes after ischemia and reperfusion injury

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effect of papaverine and alprostadil on testicular torsion-detorsion injury in rats. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 male Wistar-Albino rats were used in this study. Four hours of right testicular torsion was applied to each group, excluding sham oper- ated g...

Prospective ultrasonographic study of blood flow and testicular volume in patients submitted to surgical repair of inguinal hernia without using prosthesis

Acta cir. bras; 33 (3), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the behavior of arterial circulation and testicular volume in patients submitted to conventional inguinal hernia repair without the use of a synthetic prosthesis to reinforce the posterior wall. Methods: A prospective observational clinical trial was performed on 26 male ...

Investigation of the antioxidant effects of pheniramine maleate and nebivolol on testicular damage in rats with experimentally induced testis torsion

Acta cir. bras; 33 (2), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the biochemical, histopathologic, and spermatogenetic changes in the detorsionated testicle after experimental torsion and to study the antioxidant effects of pheniramine maleate and nebivolol. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into 4 groups: G...

Medical ozone therapy reduces oxidative stress and testicular damage in an experimental model of testicular torsion in rats

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective: Testicular torsion (TT) refers to rotation of the testis and twisting of the spermatic cord. TT results in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury involving increased oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, and can even lead to infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate th...

Effects of folic acid administration on testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Acta cir. bras; 32 (9), 2017
Abstract Purpose: To determine the effect of folic acid (FA) on experimental testicular ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. The control group received physiologic saline orally. The sham-operated group received physiologic saline oral...

Terminal bifurcation and unusual communication of left testicular vein with the left suprarenal vein

J. vasc. bras; 16 (2), 2017
Abstract Variations of the testicular veins are relevant in clinical cases of varicocele and in other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. We report herein on a unique variation of the left testicular vein observed in an adult male cadaver. The left testicular vein bifurcated to give rise to left and r...
