Reperfusion injury, the paradoxical tissue response that is manifested by blood flow-
deprived and oxygen-starved organs following the restoration of blood flow and tissue …

Mammalian testes are highly sensitive to oxidative free radical damage. Acute scrotum is a
clinical syndrome mainly caused by torsion of the spermatic cord that constitutes a surgical …

Testicular torsion is a urological emergency most commonly seen in adolescence, involving
a decrease in blood flow in the testis resulting from torsion of the spermatic cord that can …

Purpose: We review the work of our laboratory in discovering the pathophysiological
mechanisms that underpin testicular response to testicular torsion. Evidence from animal …

Purpose: Spermatic cord torsion results in impairment of testicular function. The mechanism
of this injury is unclear; however, intracellular Ca sup++ influx and reactive oxygen species …

Testicular torsion is a serious problem in male children and, if not treated at the right time,
can lead to subfertility and infertility. The main reason for testicular damage is ischemia …

Art. 1.1475/ringraziamenti Page 1 European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences
582 Abstract. – Background: Testicular tor- sion due to oxidative stress results in infertility and …

Testicular torsion (TT) is a serious urologic emergency that is observed in adolescent males
and that can lead to infertility if left untreated. The ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury due to TT …

Background. Propofol can scavenge free radicals because it has a chemical structure similar
to antioxidants. Methods. We examined if free radical scavenging occurs with propofol …

Testicular artery occlusion causes an enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species, which
contributes to the pathophysiology of tissue damage. Here, we have investigated the effects …
