Abstract

The role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) as an antioxidant in the context of cryptorchidism is increasingly recognized due to its potential protective effects against oxidative stress, a key contributor to testicular dysfunction in this condition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of CoQ10 and its impact on sperm parameters as an adjuvant therapy in a cryptorchidism mouse model. A total of 36 male Sprague Dawley mice were divided into six groups: control (negative control), cryptorchidism (positive control), orchidopexy only, and orchidopexy treated with CoQ10 at 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg body weight (BW). After seven days of induction into the cryptorchidism model, the mice underwent orchidopexy, and CoQ10 was administered orally from day 1 to day 7 post-orchidopexy. At the end of the treatment period, all mice were euthanized, and the left testes were collected for immunohistochemical analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as histological examination and sperm parameter assessment. Testicular tissue damage was assessed using the Cosentino grade, while spermatogenesis was evaluated using the Johnsen scoring system. Additionally, sperm parameters were analyzed from the left testis. MDA expression in the cryptorchidism group was significantly lower than in all CoQ10-treated groups (p<0.001). In contrast, SOD expression was significantly higher in the cryptorchidism group compared to the 10 mg/kg BW and 20 mg/kg BW CoQ10 groups (both had p<0.001). Cosentino grade and Johnsen score showed no significant differences between the control group and the group treated with 20 mg/kg BW CoQ10 (p=0.891 and p=0.123, respectively). Furthermore, the 20 mg/kg BW CoQ10 group had significantly greater sperm concentration and motility compared to the cryptorchidism group (p<0.001 for both). These findings demonstrated that CoQ10 had significant antioxidant activity as an adjuvant therapy in a cryptorchidism mouse model. CoQ10 supplementation could reduce oxidative stress markers, enhance antioxidant enzyme expression, and improve sperm parameters, supporting its potential to mitigate testicular damage associated with cryptorchidism.

Abstract

Objective: This study aim to reveal the relationship preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with testicular germ cell tumors (GCT). Material & Methods: A total of twenty-six patients diagnosed with TGCT from 2017 to 2022 in Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang were included in this retrospective study. Patients were grouped as localized and non-localized. Hematological and biochemical blood measured the days before radical orchiectomy. Results: Eleven patients (42.3%) had seminomas and fifteen patients (57.7%) had non-seminomatous testicular cancer. Six patients (23.1%) had localized and twenty patients (76.9%) had non-localized testicular cancer. There was a statistically significant difference between mean NLR of the localized patients and non-localized patients (localized NLR: 1.7±0.84, non-localized: 3.65±0.97, p=0.000). The optimal cut-off value for localized and non-localized TGCT was 3.05 with sensitivity 83.33% and specificity 75%. That was statistically significant between cut-off value NLR with localized and non-localized TGCT (correlation coefficient 0.505, p=0.008). Conclusion: NLR appears to be a useful marker for TGCT. It is successful in predicting localized and non-localized disease in early preoperative period. Keywords: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, testicular cancer, testicular germ cell tumors.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze factors contributing to delayed diagnosis and treatment of UDT patients at Saiful Anwar General Hospital in Malang. Material & Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Saiful Anwar General Hospital focusing on patients who underwent orchiopexy or orchiectomy for UDT between January 2019 to February 2024. Delays in treatment were defined as surgery performed after 18 months of age. Statistical analysis involved a comparative study between delayed and non-delayed cases, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: This study evaluated 140 patients with UDT, aged 3.7 ± 3.87 years old, with 77.1% experiencing delayed referrals. The most common associated anomaly was hypospadias (29.3%). Factors contributing to delayed referral include undiagnosed UDT, inadequate follow-up, and advice to await spontaneous testicular descent, observed in 62% of delayed cases (p = 0.025). Parental unawareness of the risks associated with delayed surgery and misdiagnosis by healthcare providers were significant contributors, affecting 72% and 74% of delayed cases, respectively (p = 0.032 and p < 0.005). Referral sources differed significantly, with pediatricians accounting for 43% of non-delayed referrals, compared to only 8% for delayed cases. General practitioners were responsible for 70% of delayed referrals, and 22% were self-referred (p < 0.005). Conclusion: Most pediatric patients at Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital experienced delayed treatment of UDT, often due to referral delays and undiagnosed conditions. Training for primary health-care providers and routine testicular examinations are essential. Keywords: Delayed factors, diagnosis and treatment, undescended testis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have been investigated as a potential treatment for hypogonadism, a condition characterized by low testosterone levels in men. The idea is to provide therapeutic benefits similar to traditional testosterone replacement therapy. However, research in this area is still in its early stages, and more extensive studies are needed to establish the efficacy of SARM. This study aimed to determine the impact of SARM RAD140 on testosterone levels, fibromuscular stroma, and prostate mass in rats undergoing bilateral orchidectomy. METHODS This was an in vivo study using posttest-only control group design in rats (Rattus norvegicus). The positive and negative control groups consisted of rats with and without bilateral orchidectomy, respectively. The treatment groups were rats given SARM RAD140 with and without orchidectomy. Testosterone levels, histopathology, and prostate mass were examined at the end of week 6, and the quantitative data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. RESULTS This study found no difference in prostate mass (0.598 [0.05] g versus 0.590 [0.07] g, p = 0.984), fibromuscular stroma ratio (0.483 [0.094] versus 0.463 [0.057], p = 0.984), and testosterone level (0.006 [0.005] ng/dl versus 0.014 [0.004] ng/dl, p = 0.098) compared to positive control with orchidectomy and SARM RAD140 administration 6 weeks after treatment. CONCLUSIONS There were no differences in testosterone levels, prostate mass, or the ratio of fibromuscular stroma to epithelium area in rats undergoing bilateral orchidectomy and placebo surgery with the administration of SARM RAD140.
