The objective of this study was to examine the impact of freeze-thawing on the levels of oxidative stress, fatty acids, vitamins A, D, E, and K, cholesterol, and amino acids, as well as on spermatological parameters, in ram semen. Semen was collected and pooled from each of the seven rams twice a week for three weeks. The mixed semen was diluted with tris + egg yolk diluent at 38 °C (Group 38 °C) and the temperature was reduced to 5 °C (Group 5 °C).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how unilateral testicular torsion affects M1/M2 macrophage polarization in both testicles, focusing on the response over time after the injury.
  • Using 63 male rats, researchers found that Torsion/Detorsion (T/D) led to significant tissue damage, with increasing severity observed from 4 hours to 14 days post-injury, while the Sham groups showed no such changes.
  • Histopathological evaluations indicated enhanced M1 macrophage activity in the contralateral testis, suggesting that macrophages may contribute to injury in the unaffected testicle as a result of the torsion event.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystemic disease in which airway obstruction, infection, and inflammation play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of CF lung disease. The carbohydrate-binding protein Galectin-3 is increased in several inflammatory and fibrotic diseases and has recently been forwarded as a biomarker in these diseases. We aimed to define the role of serum Galectin-3 in children with CF by comparison with healthy subjects.
