Background: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major challenge in clinical practice. The role of neutrophils in fighting infection has been increasingly understood, and one mechanism of action of these cells is neutrophil extracellular traps. However, little is known about this process in PJI.

Methods: twenty-three cases with minimum grading of Paprosky II-B that were operated between July 2008 and February 2013 were evaluated. These cases were evaluated based on radiographs before the operation, immediately after the operation and later on after the operation.
Purpose: To investigate the possible protective role of the bioflavonoid ternatin (TTN) when administered before induction of ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat testis.
Methods: Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=12), divided in 2 subgroups (n=6). Saline 2.
Purpose: To evaluate the protective role of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in a rat model of testis ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).
Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomized in two equal groups. Control rats (G-1) received saline 2.
Objective: We investigated the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) in rats that were subjected to torsion/detorsion of the spermatic cord in a comparative controlled experiment.
Methods: Forty-eight male Wistar rats, randomized in two groups, received intraperitoneal injections of LA (LA group; aqueous solution at 36 mg/kg of body weight per day) or equal volume of saline (control group) 21, 9, and 1 h before torsion of the spermatic cord. Rats in each group were distributed in four subgroups, each comprising six animals.
