Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of artesunate on ischemia-reperfusion injury after testicular torsion/detorsion in rats. Methods Eighteen adult healthy male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into control group, ischemia group and artesunate group by random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. The model rats with testicular torsion/detorsion were made (720° for 2 h). The artesunate group was given artesunate 25 mg/(kg·d) by gavage administration at 3 d before operation. The control group and ischemia group were given same volume of distilled water by gavage administration. After detorsion for 4 h, the rats were sacrificed and the testicular tissue was obtained, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected, and the histopathological parameters and apoptosis index (AI) were tested by HE staining and TUNEL staining. The expression of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in testicular tissue of each group was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with control group, the SOD activity and the diameter of seminiferous tubules in ischemia group and artesunate group were significantly decreased, while the MDA content, apoptosis index, the expression of PARP-1 and AIF in ischemia group and artesunate group were significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with ischemia group, the SOD activity and the diameter of seminiferous tubules in artesunate group were significantly increased, while the MDA content, apoptosis index, the expression of PARP-1 and AIF in artesunate group were significantly decreased, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Artesunate has protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury after testicular torsion/detorsion, its mechanism may be achieved through inhibiting apoptosis and oxidative stress.
