Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of FAS/FASL and spermatogenesis in the contralateral testis after unilateral testicular torsion in puberty Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods Five groups of side testicular torsion adolescence SD rats model were established as follows:group A as control group, group B for testicular torsion group,group C for testicular torsion plus methylprednisolone group, D for reverse side testes excision group, and Group E testes excision plus methylprednisolone group for reverse side. SD rats were treated with testicular resection and/or injection of methylprednisolone after torsion for 24 h. The rats were executed at postoperative 1 month, and contralateral testes were collected for histopathological examination. Expression of FAS and FASL was analyzed quantitatively by immunohistochemistry with a computer pathological image analysis system. Each rat was evaluated with regard to endocrine parameters (follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone ( LH) and testosterone ( T) by radioimmunoassay. Results Histopathological examination of the contralateral testes showed that either orchiectomy or orchiectomy plus methylprednisolone was more successful than no treatment. Fas/FasL protein in both control group and 4 experimental groups were expressed. B group showed more expression of FAS and FASL than that of the other groups. FSH, LH and T were normal in all cases. Conclusion Unilateral testicular torsion in puberty SD rats may result in higher expression of FAS and FASL, and accelerate germ cell apoptosis and subfertility. Methylprednisolone may decrease the expression of FAS and FASL and maintain spermatogenesis in the contralateral testis after the unilateral testicular torsion.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare customized porous silicone orbital implants using embedded 3D printing and assess the effect of surface modification on the properties of the implants. METHODS: The transparency, fluidity and rheological properties of the supporting media were tested to determine the optimal printing parameters of silicone. The morphological changes of silicone after modification were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of silicone surface were evaluated by measuring the water contact angle. The compression modulus of porous silicone was measured using compression test. Porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAOECs) were co-cultured with porous silicone scaffolds for 1, 3 and 5 days to test the biocompatibility of silicone. The local inflammatory response to subcutaneous porous silicone implants was evaluated in rats. RESULTS: The optimal printing parameters of silicone orbital implants were determined as the following: supporting medium 4% (mass ratio), printing pressure 1.0 bar and printing speed 6 mm/s. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the silicone surface was successfully modified with polydopamine and collagen, which significantly improved hydrophilicity of the silicone surface (P < 0.05) without causing significant changes in the compression modulus (P > 0.05). The modified porous silicone scaffold had no obvious cytotoxicity and obviously promoted adhesion and proliferation of PAOECs (P < 0.05). In rats bearing the subcutaneous implants, no obvious inflammation was observed in the local tissue. CONCLUSION Poprous silicone orbital implants with uniform pores can be prepared using embedded 3D printing technology, and surface modification obviously improves hydrophilicity and biocompatibility of the silicone implants for potential clinical application.
