Purpose: The pathophysiology of testicular torsion-detorsion is an ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by overgeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study aimed to investigate the effect of rutin, a well-known antioxidant, on testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Methods: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, each containing 20 rats. Rats in the control group underwent a sham operation of the left testis. In the torsion-detorsion group, the left testis was rotated 720° for 2 hours. Rats in the treatment group received the same surgical procedure as the torsion-detorsion group, but rutin was administered intravenously at the time of detorsion. Bilateral orchiectomy was performed on half of the rats in each experimental group at 4 hours after detorsion for measurement of malondialdehyde, an indicator of intratesticular ROS content, and for evaluation of superoxide dismutase and catalase, which are endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Orchiectomy was performed on the remaining rats at 3 months after detorsion for analysis of testicular spermatogenesis.

Results: Unilateral testicular torsion-detorsion caused a significant increase in malondialdehyde level and caused significant decreases in superoxide dismutase, catalase activities, and spermatogenesis in ipsilateral testes. The rats treated with rutin had a significant decrease in malondialdehyde level and had significant increases in superoxide dismutase, catalase activities, and spermatogenesis in ipsilateral testes, compared with torsion-detorsion group.

Conclusions: Rutin protects testes from ischemia-reperfusion injury. The protective effect of rutin may be caused by scavenging ROS by increasing superoxide dismutase and catalase activities.

Background: The hypobaric hypoxic atmosphere can cause adverse reactions or sickness. The purpose of this study was to explore the preventive effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on acute pathological injury in mice exposed to high-altitude.

Methods: We pretreated C57BL/6 mice with hUC-MSCs via the tail vein injection, and then the mice were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic conditions for five days.

Adipose-derived stem cells regulate mitochondrial dynamics to alleviate the aging of HFF-1 cells.

In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim

Department of Outpatient Service, The Affiliated Nanhua Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Hengyang, 421002, Hunan, China.

The objective of this study is to explore how adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) regulate mitochondrial structure and function and the impact of this regulation on slowing cellular senescence. HFF-1 cells were induced by HO to establish a cellular senescence model, and ASCs or Mdivi-1 (mitochondrial fission inhibitor) was added. MTT examined the cell proliferation; flow cytometry detected mitochondrial membrane potential as well as apoptosis and cell cycle; kit measured ATP production; ELISA analyzed the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha-like (TNF-α), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD); Western blotting and qRT-PCR detected the expression of protein and mRNA levels; and β-galactosidase staining observed the degree of cellular senescence.

This study aimed to explore the effect of anthocyanin-rich black sugarcane on milk production, plasma antioxidant capacity, and the storage period DPPH scavenging capacity of milk in lactating dairy cows. Sixteen lactating dairy cows were stratified and randomly assigned into two balanced dietary groups, namely Anthocyanin-rich black sugarcane (AS), and Napier grass (NG). The AS group demonstrated a significant decrease (p < 0.

Nanopesticides have been recently introduced as novel pesticides to overcome the drawbacks of using traditional synthetic pesticides. The present study evaluated the acaricidal activity of Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles against two tick species, Rhipicephalus rutilus and Rhipicephalus turanicus. The Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles were synthetized through the solution plasma (SP) method under different conditions.

Diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and is characterized by spontaneous pain and neuroinflammation. The Sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) has been proposed as a target for analgesic development. It is an important receptor with anti-inflammatory properties and has been found to regulate DNP.
