splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation whereby the splenic tissue is found attached or surrounded by the testis, and presents in both continuous and discontinuous forms. splenogonadal fusion may be misinterpreted as a primary malignant testicular or an adenomatoid tumor. knowledge about the existence of such an entity is essential in order to preserve the testis during surgical ...

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...

The structure of the testis of the goby Glossogobius olivaceus was histologically studied. The testis was a small elongate organ and was semicircular or reverse triangle in shape in cross section. The testis was composed of two main parts; peripheral seminiferous region and central large glandular region. Seminiferous region was mainly composed of seminiferous lobules. The cyst of germ cells co...

this study was designed to investigate whether administration of zinc sulphate could improve theresponse of mouse testis to degenerative effects of short term exposure heating. fifty-four adult male balb/cmice were anaesthetized and the scrotums of 36 of them were immersed for 15 min in a waterbath at 43°c.immediately after the heating, half of the heated animals (n = 18) were injected with sal...

A 36 year-old man after tests for assessing male infertility was diagnosed with primary infertility, bilateral cryptorchidism, nonobstructive azoospermia and discontinuous splenogonadal fusion. Carcinoma in situ was found in his left testicle, which was intraabdominal and associated with splenogonadal fusion. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of splenogonadal fusion associated with test...

The article presents briefly the main mechanisms of cadmium carcinogenesis and the most important sites of cancer (lung, breast, prostate, testes, kidney) induced by cadmium. In spite of some evidence showing carcinogenic potential of cadmium, further research is still required to elucidate the relative contributions of various molecular mechanisms involved in cadmium carcinogenesis.

This video and article contribution gives a comprehensive description of microinjection and electroporation of mouse testis in vivo. This particular transfection technique for testicular mouse cells allows the study of unique processes in spermatogenesis. The following protocol focuses on transfection of testicular mouse cells with plasmid constructs. Specifically, we used the reporter vector p...

Unilateral orchidectomy (UO) is required when further breeding potential is important. It is sometimes necessary to remove a single testis in a matured stallion for therapeutic reasons. In this study, twelve donkeys were used to evaluate three techniques of unilateral castration, histological and morphological changes on the remaining testis. Results of the study showed that each of the surgica...

Introduction: Rectal and bladder cancer are the most common disease among young man. Although External Radiotherapy (EBRT) is one of the most effective treatment options introduced so far, the testis undesired radiation dose increases the risk of infertility and hormonal malfunctioning. The testicles are usually outside of the radiation field, but they can be exposed either to ...
