congenital undescending testis is a common anomaly of testis, but we had a rare case of ectopic testis. a 15-month-old infant was operated emergently because of left incarcerate inguinal hernia. intraoperative exploration of hernial sac revealed two ectopic testes with one spermatic cord proximally but in the middle divided to two spermatic cords in a 8 shape. there was an important point about...

Testicular torsion is a rare medical condition among neonates. Main symptoms are swelling, erythema and pain of the scrotum. It can be both perinatal (diagnosed at birth) postnatal after birth to 28 days life). If not treated, atrophy involving and/or contra lateral testis developed. Still being main treatment option surgery, new researches suggest delayed surgery in because low rates salvaging...

Background Our recent findings have shown that the rat testis is subjected to significant oxidative stress during the early phase of diabetes induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). In the present study, we have investigated whether oral supplementation of β-carotene (BC) to pubertal rats would provide protection against diabetes associated oxidative stress in testis and liver.

Background: It is proved that testis is sensitive to electromagnetic field (EMF) and its damage results in infertility. Exposure to EMF induces reactive oxygen species production and affects on anti-oxidants defense mechanisms. Metallothionein (MT) is a name for a group of low molecular weight (6-7 kDa), sulfhydryl rich proteins. Expression of MT1 and MT2 genes in testis tissue after EMF exposu...

We reported a case of torsion of the undescended testis in a 9-month-old boy which was diagnosed with 99mTc testicular scin-tigraphy. The scan showed diffuse increased activity in the location of the undescended testis and no photopenic area was visible. At surgery, torsion of the undescended testis was detected and fixed.

Abstract Testicular development and function rely on interactions between somatic cells the germline, but similar to other organs, regenerative capacity declines in aging disease. Whether adult testis maintains a reserve progenitor population remains uncertain. Here, we characterize recently identified mouse interstitial expressing transcription factor Tcf21. We found that TCF21 lin are bipoten...

Testis is the male reproductive organ that performs both endocrine and exocrine functions. This study aimed to determine distribution of carbohydrates in testis sumba ongole cattle. The sample consisted six were collected from East Sumba Slaughter House, fixed formalin 10 %, processed histologically, continued with AB pH 2,5 - PAS staining. result showed a weak alcian blue intensity (+) tunica ...

SIR,-A man aged 40 was admitted in July 1967 with a reducible right inguinal hernia and an undescended left testis. The right testis, normal in size and consistency, was present in the scrotum. Exploration of the right inguinal canal revealed a completely patent processus vaginalis with the testis inside the sac. On applying traction to the testis, an oval mass, apparently intra-abdominal, was ...

Although most animals with scrotal testes are susceptible to cadmium-induced testicular toxicity, strain-related differences are seen in mice. Resistant murine strains demonstrate a decreased cadmium concentration in the testis and also in the epididymis and seminal vesicle. In this study we analyzed cadmium transport into tissues with a vascular barrier, the testis, epididymis, and brain, in a...

Testicular damage is one of the most hazardous effects as it’s associated with azoospermia. Busulfan (Bu) a highly toxic chemotherapeutic drug that affects testis. Thirty male Swiss albino mice divided into six groups 5 animals each. Control (oral 0.9% saline daily for 75 days); Mel (20 mg/kg/day orally 30 ZnO NPs (5 i.p. BU (single injection 40 mg/kg and then left 45 + dose days followed by 20...
