Objective: To determine the abnormality of spermatozoa in the contralateral epididymis after unilateral testicular torsion. Material & method: Twenty wistar rats were divided into two groups i.e. Group B (sham procedure) Group A (torsio and orchiectomy 24 hours later), and contralateral epididymectomy was performed a month later Spermatozoa in the contralateral epididymis are extracted and anal…
Objective: To evaluate the effect of prednisone in unilateral testicular torsion on Sertoli cell quality of contralateral testis. Material & Method: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups i.e. group A (sham procedure), group B (unilateral torsion + orchiectomy after 6 hours), and group C (unilateral torsion + orchiectomy after 24 hours). Group B and C were further divided into subgro…
To evaluate the smooth muscle-collagen fibers ratio in the bladder wall of castrated male wistar rats.Material & method: Sixteen wistar rats were equally assigned to castrated group (n = 8) and sham group (n = 8). All wistar rats were subjected to a one-week acclimatization period before undergoing treatment. After 60 days, cystectomy was performed in all rats in both groups and subsequent spec…
A higher prevalence of kidney stone in diabetes mellitus (34%) is probably caused by insulin resistance. Insulin resistance inhibits gluconeogenesis, which might be associated with a low urine pH that lead to stone formation. Objective: To compare glycogen level of kidney tubular cells in diabetic kidney stone patients with in nondiabetic kidney stone patients. Material & method: We revi…
To evaluation the role of prostate basal cell staining in diagnosing Gleason score 6 prostate cancer. During research period, we collceted 20 medical records and paraffin block specimens of Gleason score 6 prostatic adenocarcinoma patients. Specimens were taken from prstate needle biopsy.Demographic data and PSA level were extracted from medical records. Basal cells were detected by immunohisto…
