Abstract

B Aim of this study is to determine whether melatonin used before detorsion is effective to prevent ischemia-reper-fusion (I/R) injury on the testes in late period. Material and Method: Rats were devided into 6 groups, each containing 10 rats, in all groups except sham-1 and sham-2, left testes were rotated 720° for 6 hours. Melatonin (17 mg/kg) were injected into rats in groups melatonin-1 and melatonin-2 30 minutes before detorsion, respectively. The torsed testes were detorsed. The left orchiectomies were performed in groups torsion-detorsion-1 and mela-tonin -1 after 6 hours and in groups torsion-detorsion-2 and melatonin -2 after 3 months. The left testes were weighed. In order to evaluate testicular I/R injury, tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and Johnsen's scores were determined via histopathologic examination. Results: MDA levels of group melatonin-1 were found to be sig-nificantly lower than group torsion-detorsion-1 (p<0.05). MDA levels of group melatonin-2 were also lower than group torsion-detorsion-2 (p<0.05), but the weight of testes and Johnsen's scores in both of these groups (torsion-detorsion-2 and melatonin-2) were highly lower than group sham-2 (p<0.05), and atrophy developed in all of the testes. Conclusions: These results have shown that melatonin, used to prevent ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in testicular torsion, is not effective in late follow up regarding MDA levels, althought it seems effective in short period. Atrophy developed in all of the testes.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, torsiyone testislerde detorsiyon öncesi verilen melatoninin uzun dönemde testiste oluşacak hasan önleme açısından etkin olup olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya alınan ratlar. 10'arlı 6 gruba ayrıldı. Sham -1, sham-2 grupları hariç tüm gruplarda sol testisler 6 saat süre ile 720° torsiyone edildi. Detorsiyondan 30 dk. önce, melatonin-1 ve melatonin-2 gruplarına 17mg/kg melatonin verildi. Ardından testisler detorsiyone edildi. Torsiyon-detorsiyon-1 ve melatonin-1 gruplarında detorsiyondan 6 saat sonra, torsiyon-detorsiyon-2 ve melatonin-2 gruplarında 3 ay sonra sol orşiektomi uygulandı. Orşiektomi sonrası testisler tartıldı. Iskemi-reperfüzyon (I-R) hasarını değerlendirmek amacıyla malondialdehit (MDA) seviyeleri ve histopatolojik inceleme yapılarak Johnsen skorları belirlendi. Bulgular: Melatonin-1 gruplarının MDA seviyeleri, torsiyon-detorsiyon-1 grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). Melatonin-2 grubunun MDA seviyelerinin de aynı şekilde torsiyon-detorsiyon-2 grubuna göre daha düşük olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.05). Ancak Johnsen skorlarının ve testis ağırlıklarının bu iki grupta (torsiyon-detorsiyon 2 ve melatonin-2), sham-2 grubuna göre ileri derecede düşük olduğu ve testislerin tamamında atrofi geliştiği belirlendi (p<0.05). Sonuçlar: Testis tor-siyonunda I-R hasaranı önlemek için detorsiyon öncesi verilen melatonin MDA seviyelerine göre kısa dönemde etkili gibi görünmesine rağmen, geç dönemde hiçbir olumlu etkisi olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Geç dönem takiplerde bütün testislerde atrofi gelişmiştir.
