Koyan Karadeniz GN, Karadeniz O, Bulutlar E, Yilmaz B, Gedikbasi A, Arslan HS, Cetin BA, Polat İ. Comparison of salpingectomy and tubal detorsion procedures after experimental ischemia-reperfusion injury in a rat fallopian tube model: biochemical and histopathological evaluation. F&S SCIENCE 2024; 5:195-203. [PMID: 38580179 DOI: 10.1016/j.xfss.2024.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare salpingectomy and detorsion procedures and investigate the biochemical and histopathological changes in the fallopian tubes in the experimentally isolated fallopian tube torsion model in rats. DESIGN Experimental study. SETTING Experimental surgery laboratory in a training and research hospital. ANIMAL(S) Twenty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats in the reproductive period. INTERVENTION(S) Group 1, control group (n = 6); group 2, bilateral total salpingectomy group after 4 hours of tubal ischemia (n = 7); group 3: 4 hours of bilateral tubal ischemia plus 1 week of reperfusion (n = 7); and group 4, 4-hour period of bilateral tubal ischemia plus 30 days of reperfusion (n = 7). A 22-gauge catheter was administered before and after surgery using methylene blue through the uterine horn of the rat to evaluate tubal patency. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Preoperative and postoperative serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels, histopathological examination of the rat tuba uterine and histopathological damage scores, antioxidant compounds (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase, and glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px]), and oxidative stress end product levels (malondialdehyde [MDA] and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-OHdG]). RESULT(S) Although a significant difference was observed in the tissue SOD, GSH-Px, MDA, and 8-OHdG values, no significant difference was observed between the groups in serum samples. The tissue SOD and tissue GSH-Px levels in group 2 significantly decreased, and a significant increase was observed in the tissue MDA and 8-OHdG values in group 2. Among the histopathological parameters, epithelial changes, vascular congestion, and the total fallopian tube mean damage score of 4 showed a significant decrease in group 4. When the methylene blue transitions before and after ischemia-reperfusion injury were compared, the values of the methylene blue transition after ischemia-reperfusion injury in groups 2-4 significantly decreased. When the serum AMH levels were analyzed, the postoperative AMH value in group 2 significantly increased. CONCLUSION(S) This study reveals that biochemical and histopathological improvement is observed in the fallopian tube tissues gradually when the detorsion procedure is performed for the necrotized tubal tissue instead of salpingectomy. Although there is restoration of epithelial integrity after reperfusion, tubal passage remains absent. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This study was approved by the Local Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments of the Health Sciences University, Istanbul Hamidiye Medicine Faculty (approval number 27.05.2022-9269). The study followed the ethics standards recommended by the Declaration of Helsinki.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate inflammation and cell adhesion molecules in the vagina after ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. METHODS 20 Wistar albino female rats were divided into two groups: control, and IR groups. In IR group, blood flow was restricted for 2 hours for ovarian ischemia. Then, tissues were re-blood 2 hours for reperfusion. Vagina tissues were excised and processed for histopathological analysis. Histopathological and biochemical follow-ups were performed. RESULTS Both malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase values were increased in IR group compared to control group. Glutathione content was decreased in IR group compared to control group. Epithelial degeneration, inflammation, dilatation, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) expression were increased in IR group compared to control group. E-cadherin expression was significantly decreased in IR group. In the IR group, E-cadherin showed a positive reaction in adenomas, gland-like cryptic structures, cellular junctions with clustered inflammatory cells. In the IR group, NF-κB expression was increased in basement membrane, inflammatory cells, in blood vessels. CONCLUSIONS Ovarian ischemia caused degeneration of epithelial cells in the vaginal region and disruptions in the cell junction complex, which leads to activation of E-cadherin and NF-κB signaling pathway and alterations in reproductive and embryonal development in the vaginal region.

Abstract
Objective: The present study aimed to demonstrate the possible effects of increased 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) by applying the monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor KML-29 on rats with ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model. Methods: Forty-eight female Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups. Group 1: Sham, Group 2: Ischemia, Group 3: IR, Group 4: IR + KML-29 (2 mg/kg), Group 5: IR + KML-29 (20 mg/kg), and Group 6: IR + vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide). Three hours of ischemia followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Two different doses of KML-29 (2 and 10 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally in Groups 4 and 5, 30 min before reperfusion. Ovarian IR injury and ovarian reserve were evaluated histopathological and by using nuclear factor (NF)-κB, interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase pre-/postoperative blood antimullerian hormone, and inhibin B. Results: In the KML-1 and KML-2 groups, this damage was significantly reduced compared to the ischemia group. NF-κB, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 immunoreactivities increased statistically significantly in the ischemia group compared to the control group (p<0.001). Immunoreactivities of these proteins were significantly decreased in the KML-1 and KML-2 groups (p<0.001). It was observed that the number of these apoptotic cells decreased significantly in the KML-1 and KML-2 groups compared to the ischemia group (p<0.001). The postoperative inhibin level showed a significant decrease in the ischemia group compared to the sham group, while a significant increase was observed in the KML-1 and KML-2 groups compared to the ischemia group. Conclusion: It was seen that anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic activity was formed, and the ovarian reserve was preserved with 2-AG in ovarian IR damage. The protective effect of endocannabinoids on the ovaries may create a promising new treatment strategy for many pathologies that will affect the ovarian reserve.

Abstract
Ovarium torsion is a gynecological emergency that is common in women of reproductive age and requires early diagnosis and intervention. In this study, we aimed to investigate the long-term anatomical, histological and biochemical protective effects of lamotrigine in ovariums in the ischemia - reperfusion (I-R) model created experimentally in rats. A total of 40 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 14 weeks old, weighing 220-270 g were used in the study. The subjects were randomly distributed to form 4 groups named SHAM group, I - R group, I - R + Lamotrigine (LTG) group and R + LTG group. Under general anesthesia, the ovaries of the rats were reached and ischemia was created for 3 h with vascular clamps. 20 mg / kg LTG was administered intraperitoneally (ip.) to group 3 30 min before ischemia and to group 4 30 min before reperfusion. At the third hour of ischemia, the vascular clamps were opened and the abdomen of the rats was closed according to the surgical procedure. The rats were followed up for 28 days postoperatively and the ovarium tissues taken on the 28th day were examined anatomically and histologically. Biochemically, estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels were measured from blood samples taken from their hearts. Granulosa cells with diffuse vaculations were observed in degenerative follicles in group I-R. Again in this group, severe hemorrhage, fibrosis and edematous areas were observed in the ovarium stroma (Ovarian Histopathological Scoring (OHS): 7). In the I - R + LTG group, OHS was statistically significantly lower than the I - R group (OHS: 2; p < 0.000). In the R + LTG group, although the OHS score was calculated to be lower than the I - R group, there was no statistically significant difference (OHS: 6; p > 0.05). The protective effect of LTG against experimentally created ischemia and reperfusion damage was determined anatomically and histologically. No protective effect of LTG was observed in terms of FSH, E2 and AMH values measured from the blood sera of rats. These findings may provide a basis for future studies using LTG to treat ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ovarian torsion is a gynecological disorder that causes ischemia-reperfusion injuries in the ovary. Our study investigated berberine's short- and long-term effects on ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injuries. METHODS This study included 28 Wistar albino female rats weighing 180 to 220 g, which were divided into four groups: sham (S), torsion/detorsion (T/D), torsion/ detorsion+single dose berberine (T/D+Bb), and torsion/detorsion+15 days berberine (T/D+15Bb). The torsion and detorsion model was applied in all non-sham groups. In the T/D+Bb group, a single dose of berberine was administered, while in the T/D+15Bb group, berberine was administered over a period of 15 days. After the rats were euthanized, their ovaries were excised. The left ovaries were used for histopathologic evaluation, which included ovarian injury scoring and follicle count, while the right ovaries were used for biochemical analyses (tissue transforming growth factor-β [TGF-β] and alpha-smooth muscle actin [α-SMA] levels). RESULTS The histopathologic evaluation scores for the ovaries were significantly lower in the T/D+B group (p<0.05) and the T/D+15B group (p<0.005) than in the T/D group. The follicle counts in the T/D group were lower than those in both the sham and treated groups (p<0.005). The TGF-β levels were significantly lower in the T/D+15B group (p<0.005), whereas the α-SMA levels did not show a significant difference. CONCLUSION Both short- and long-term berberine use could potentially have therapeutic effects on ovarian torsion. Long-term berberine use exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by reducing TGF-β levels, thereby preventing ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Therefore, we suggest that long-term berberine use could be beneficial for ovarian torsion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to investigate the protection of enoxaparin (E) against experimental ischemic (I) and ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat ovaries on in vitro fertilization outcomes. METHODS In total, 56 adult female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups of 8 animals each: Sham, Ischemia, I/R, Sham+E, I+E, and I/R+E. Ischemia groups were subjected to bilateral adnexal torsion for 3 h. In contrast, I/R and I/R+E groups received subsequent detorsion for 3 h. Enoxaparin (0.5 mg/kg s.c.) was administered 30 min prior to ischemia (I+platelet-rich plasma) or reperfusion (I/R+I+platelet-rich plasma). Ovaries were stimulated through intraperitoneal injection of 150-300 internal units IU/kg pregnant mare serum gonadotropin. Anti-Müllerian hormone levels were measured before and after surgery in all groups. RESULTS When the number of metaphase II oocytes was evaluated, statistically significant differences were observed between the I and I+E (p=0.001) and I/R and I/R+E (p=0.000) groups. When both I and I+E groups and I/R and I/R+E groups were compared, it was found that E application increased the number of fertilized oocytes. The number of embryos on the second day was higher in the I/R+E group than that in the I/R group. Statistically significant differences were found in the number of grade 1 embryos between the I/R and I/R+E groups (p=0.003). In comparing anti-Müllerian hormone values within the group, the highest decrease was observed in the I and I/R groups. CONCLUSION Enoxaparin effectively minimizes ovarian damage and preserves ovarian reserve following ovarian torsion.

We aimed to examine the potential beneficial effects of diosmin administration on cisplatin - induced premature ovarian failure (POF) in a rat model
Material and Methods
Twenty-eight rats were divided into four groups. Group A rats (n:7) were determined as the sham group. The remaining rats received an intraperitoneal injection of 1.5 mg/kg/day cisplatin for 10 days to create a POF model. Then, they were randomly divided into 3 subgroups.
Group B was determined as POF group. Group C rats were given 100mg/kg/day diosmin for 10 days simultaneously while creating POF model. Group D rats were given 100mg/kg/day diosmin for 10 days after POF model was created. Twentieth day blood samples were taken and left ovaries were resected for examination.
Results
CIS-induced rats showed reduced levels of SOD, AMH and E2 compared to sham group rats (p0.05) between the sham group, group C and D. No significant (p>0.05) difference in FSH value was observed between group C, D and sham groups.
There was no significant (p>0.05) difference in the number of secondary and antral follicles between group C and D compared to the sham group. Primordial follicle count was significantly higher in group C than group B (p

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of ozone therapy on ovarian reserve, number of ovarian follicles, ovarian morphology in a rat ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury model. Twenty-four, Wistar Hannover rats were included. The rats were divided into three groups as control, detorsion-only, and ozone therapy + detorsion groups. There was a statistically significant difference in the follicular damage and inflammation scores between the study groups (p = .019, p = .002, respectively). The highest AMH decrease was observed in the detorsion-only group (p = .012). The total damage score was higher in the detorsion-only group than the ozone therapy + detorsion group. Preantral, small and large antral follicle numbers were less in the detorsion-only group than the ozone therapy + detorsion group. The highest postoperative day 7 TAS level was in the ozone therapy + detorsion group. TOS levels did not differ significantly between the study groups. The combination of the ozone therapy with ovarian detorsion is more effective in protecting the ovarian reserve than ovarian detorsion-only.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Adnexal torsion is a common gynecological emergency in reproductive-age women. The recommended management is the detorsion of the adnexal pedicle in patients with fertility desire.What do the results of this study add? The combination of the medical ozone therapy with conventional surgical ovarian detorsion is more effective in the protection of the ovarian reserve compared to surgical ovarian detorsion.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? This study speculates that medical ozone therapy in addition to conventional surgical ovarian detorsion could preserve ovarian reserve and function if confirmed in further clinical studies.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the blood flow in ovaries (ischemic ovaries) that underwent torsion using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and assess the use of ICGA as an indicator for functional preservation of the ovaries. DESIGN In vivo animal study. SETTING The University of Yamanashi Animal Experimentation Center. SUBJECTS Eighteen female Wistar albino rats. INTERVENTIONS As an alternative to ovarian torsion, we occluded an ovary in each rat for 24 hours, after which we performed ICGA before and after releasing ischemia and extracted the following 8 parameters: Fmax (maximum F value before releasing ischemia); Tmax (time taken from the onset of an increase in F to reaching Fmax); T½max (time taken from the onset of an increase in F to reaching half of Fmax); slope (Fmax/Tmax); time ratio (T½max/Tmax); F'max (maximum F value after releasing ischemia); reperfusion rate (F'max/Fmax); and reperfusion gap (F'max - Fmax). Four weeks later, we counted the total number of primordial and primary follicles and classified the rats into functional and nonfunctional groups. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS On the basis of the total number of primordial and primary follicles, 13 rats had "functional" ovaries on the clamped side, and 5 rats had "nonfunctional" ovaries. The area under the curve values for each parameter were as follows: Fmax, 0.908; Tmax, 0.569; T½max, 0.546; time ratio, 0.746; slope, 0.877; F'max, 0.723; reperfusion rate, 0.938; and reperfusion gap, 0.862. CONCLUSION ICGA can be used to quantitatively evaluate ovaries that have been subjected to ischemia, and the magnitude of fluorescence intensity can be an excellent predictor of ovarian necrosis. Quantifying the degree of reperfusion immediately after the release of ischemia can be an equally excellent predictor of necrosis.

Abstract
AIM Ovarian torsion is a gynecopathology that requires emergency surgery in women. However, ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs after treatment with detorsion. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor JZL184 on ovarian IRI and ovarian reserve. METHODS Forty-eight female Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups. Group 1: Sham, Group 2: Ischemia, Group 3: ischemia/reperfusion (IR), Group 4: IR + JZL184 4 mg/kg, Group 5: IR + JZL184 16 mg/kg, Group 6: IR + vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide). Three hours of ischemia followed by 3 h of reperfusion. Two different doses of JZL184 (4 and 16 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally in Group 4 and 5, 30 min before reperfusion. Ovarian IRI and ovarian reserve were evaluated in serum and tissue by using histopathological and biochemical parameters. RESULTS Treatment with JZL184 was associated with a significant increase in ovarian 2-arachidonoylglycerol and improved serum anti-Mullerian hormone, İnhibin B, primordial follicle count, and ovarian histopathological damage score (p < 0.05). JZL184 treatment significantly decreased the level of malondialdehyde, and increased superoxide dismutase enzyme activity and glutathione (GSH) levels (p < 0.05). The increased phosphorile nuclear factor-κB (Phospho-NF-κB-p65), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), and TUNEL assay immunopositivity scores in ovarian I/R injury were decreased after treatment with JZL184 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS JZL184 showed significant ameliorative effects on ovarian IRI and ovarian reserve caused by IR through acting as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic agent. Thus, JZL184 may be a novel therapeutic agent for ovarian IRI.

Abstract
Ovarian ischemia is a gynecological emergency case that occurs as a result of ovarian torsion. Oxidative stress plays a central role in the development of ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injuries. Lycopene (LYC) is a lipophilic, natural carotenoid well known for its antioxidant properties. This study provides information on the potential applications of lycopene. The Wistar Albino rats were distributed into six groups: Sham group (only a laparotomy was performed), Control group [laparotomy and intraperitoneal dissolvent (olive oil)], IR group, IR+olive oil group, IR+LYC 2.5 mg/kg/dose, intraperitoneal group, IR+LYC 5 mg/kg/dose intraperitoneal group. Evaluated in terms of histopathological changes, tissue malondialdehyde levels (MDA), ovarian expressions of phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NF-κB) and the TUNEL method was utilized to show apoptosis of ovarian tissue. There was a significant decrease in MDA, p-NF-κB values and the proportion of apoptotic cells assessed by TUNEL compared to the group that did not receive intraperitoneal LYC in rat injury with IR damage (P<0.05). In histopathological damage scoring, it was observed that the cell damage was significantly reduced in LYC-administered groups. LYC showed significant ameliorative effects on ovary injury caused by IR through acting as an antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antiapoptotic agent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review our institutional data regarding the management of adnexal torsion (AT) and assess the ovarian conservation rates. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary children's hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric and adolescent patients with surgically diagnosed AT. Participants (n = 54, mean age 9.80 ± 3.95 years) were identified between June 2010 and May 2019. INTERVENTIONS Surgical management of AT. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was to determine the ovarian conservation rates in AT cases. The secondary outcomes were to determine the incidence of AT to total emergency department (ED) presentations, decision to operation theater (OT) time in AT cases, return to OT, histopathology, and follow-up with ultrasound to determine ovarian function. Data were collected on demographic and clinical characteristics. Continuous data were compared with t tests or Kruskal-Wallis tests; categoric data were compared with chi-square tests. A total of 52 (96.29%) patients had ovarian conservation, and 53 (98.14%) had laparoscopic management. The incidence rate for AT cases to total ED presentations for the last 10 years was 9.9 per 100 000, which was based on a Poisson distribution. Presentations to an ED for AT cases have trended upward since 2010. Decision to OT time was statistically significantly shorter in cases with preoperative suspicion of AT than those with intraoperative diagnosis of AT (p = .000). A total of 7 (12.96%) patients returned to OT for suspicion of recurrent torsion. Of these, 5 (9.26%) had confirmed repeat AT. The presence of fever, pain duration, severity of pain, and severity of torsion did not correlate with the follow-up ultrasound findings of ovarian activity. CONCLUSION The findings from our study suggest that high ovarian conservation rates are achievable in AT cases. A high index of suspicion is required to prevent a delay in surgery.

Abstract
Background/aim Adnexal torsion is a common gynaecological emergency, and considered to be a problem mostly in reproductive-age women. To evaluatethe effect of metformin and detorsion treatment on reducing ovarian reserve in an ovarian torsion model. Materials and methods Twenty-four nonpregnant, Wistar Hannover rats were included in the study. Animals were divided into 3 groups: the control group, the detorsion only group, and the metformin + detorsion group. The first group received only laparotomy. In the second group, ovaries were fixed to the abdominal wall after performing 360° ovarian torsion, followed by detorsion after a 3-h period of ischemia. The third group underwent the same torsion and detorsion procedures as the second group, and received 50 mg/kg metformin by gavage for 14 days. Ovarian damage scores, follicle counts, and AMH levels were evaluated. Results The total damage score was significantly increased in the detorsion only group compared to the metformin+detorsion and control groups. Pre-operative/post-operative AMH decreases were statistically significant in negative direction in the detorsion only group when compared to the metformin+detorsion and control groups (P = 0.001). Conclusion Metformin+detorsion treatment may be effective in protecting the ovarian reserve after ovarian torsion.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the influence of uterine artery occlusion at myomectomy (UAO + M) on ovarian reserve based on serum sex hormone levels, ultrasound and color Doppler examinations. METHODS In this cohort study, nine women with symptomatic uterine myomas underwent UAO + M were recruited. Each woman was assessed preoperatively and 3, 6 months postoperatively, through a serial of hormonal, ultrasound parameters and Doppler examination for ovarian stromal blood flow. The data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS There was no significant difference in serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels before and 3, 6 months after UAO + M. The ovarian volume, antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian stromal blood flow had significant changes in the right ovary. Ovarian volume and AFC significantly reduced at 3 months and recovered at 6 months postoperatively (P = 0.046, P = 0.019, respectively). Peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity significantly decreased at 3 months and leveled off at 6 months (P < 0.001, P = 0.001, respectively). Resistance index significantly increased at 3 months and decreased at 6 months (P = 0.037). A similar trend in ultrasound and Doppler findings was observed in the left ovary, but no statistical significance was found. CONCLUSION UAO + M had no detrimental effect on ovarian reserve 6 months postoperatively based on AMH and FSH levels. AFC, ovarian volume and stromal blood flow were transiently decreased in 3 months and recovered in 6 months.

Abstract
Damage to the ovaries or tissue torsion can significantly reduce the ovarian reserve and thus cause severe gynecological and hormonal deficiencies. The discovery of new agents is always needed in the treatment of this condition. Metformin (MET) has been shown to be beneficial in attenuating ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury. Fifty-six female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into seven groups. Group 1 represented the control group (C), Group 2, the ischemia group (I), and Group 3, the ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R). Group 4, the ischemia (I)+250 group, and Group 5, the ischemia (I)+500 group, received 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg MET, respectively. Group 6, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)+250 group, and Group 7, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)+500 group, received 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg MET, respectively. Tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in ovarian tissue increased following I/R, while estradiol (E2) levels decreased. Moreover, infiltration and diffuse edematous areas were observed in addition to diffuse vascular congestion and hemorrhage findings. Caspase-3 and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κβ) expression levels also increased. MDA and TNF-α concentrations decreased in the MET treatment groups, while GSH and E2 levels increased. The findings showed that I/R causes ovarian damage through the induction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. However, MET application was effective in preventing damage in ovarian tissue by reducing levels of reactive oxygen species, proinflammatory cytokines, caspase-3 and NF-κβ.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Etanercept has been widely used in autoimmune diseases for blocking tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which is an inflammatory cytokine. The anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects of etanercept against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury have been shown for several tissues in rat studies, but to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on its protective effects following similar injury in ovarian tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate whether etanercept has beneficial effects on ovarian I/R injury, as well as on ovarian reserve. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6/group): sham (laparotomy only); sham + etanercept; I/R; and I/R + etanercept. Ischemia was induced for 3 h by twisting the ovary, and 24 h after detorsion the ovarian tissues were collected to evaluate histopathologic changes, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations for oxidative stress, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) for DNA damage, caspase-3 activity for apoptosis and ovarian follicle counts. To measure anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), serum samples were drawn before and after surgery. RESULTS Tissue GSH and SOD levels were significantly higher, while MDA and MPO levels were significantly lower in the I/R + etanercept group than in the I/R group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). Tissue 8-OHdG and caspase-3 activity were significantly lower in the I/R+etanercept group than in the I/R group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively). Preoperative and postoperative AMH levels were compared and there was a significant reduction in the I/R and I/R + etanercept groups (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). The reduction of AMH in the I/R + etanercept group was significantly lower than in the I/R group. The primordial, preantral and small antral follicle numbers were also significantly higher in the I/R + etanercept group compared to the I/R group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.005, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Etanercept attenuated inflammation and related oxidative stress and also helped to preserve ovarian reserve following ovarian I/R damage.

Abstract
Objective: Tadalafil is a selective phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor with a long half-life. It has a dual function in ischaemic and re-perfused tissues, i.e. vasodilatation and anti-oxidant effects. These features of tadalafil distinguish it from other anti-oxidants. We investigated the dual effect of tadalafil on ischaemia and reperfusion injury in the rat ovary. Material and Methods: We established five study groups. Group 1 (n=6): sham-operated; group 2 (n=6): torsion; group 3 (n=6): torsion and Tadalafil; group 4 (n=6): torsion/de-torsion; and group 5 (n=6): torsion/de-torsion and tadalafil. Ovarian samples were harvested from animals and evaluated in terms of histopathologic changes, tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, lactate production, and plasma cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Results: Follicular degeneration, oedema, haemorrhage, and inflammatory cells were significantly decreased in group 5 in comparison with group 4. Group 2 and group 3 were compared in terms of vascular congestion and haemorrhage; these parameters were significantly decreased in group 3. In addition, significantly decreased MDA and lactate concentrations were observed in group 5 in comparison with group 4. Increased cGMP concentrations were detected in group 3 and group 5. Conclusion: We conclude that tadalafil might be useful in protecting the ovary against ischaemia and reperfusion injury. In the evet of ovarian torsion, it will provide a greater therapeutic effect than only performing de-torsion of the ovary or using other anti-oxidant agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine ovarian reserve using serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level in children who had undergone either ovarian-preserving surgery or oophorectomy because of ovarian torsion. METHODS Patients aged > 10 years who had undergone surgery for unilateral ovarian torsion were contacted for the study with ethics committee approval. Seventeen patients agreed to be included. RESULTS A total of 10 patients had undergone ovarian detorsion and seven had undergone oophorectomy. Mean age at operation was 11.6 ± 2.23 years (range, 8-15 years) and 13.2 ± 2.17 years (range, 10-16 years), respectively (P = 0.46). Ovarian torsion was isolated in four patients in the first group, and in three in the second. The remainder had associated benign masses. At the time of this study, mean patient age was 18 ± 2.11 years (range, 14-21 years) with a mean postoperative follow up of 5.9 ± 2.8 years (range, 2-10.5 years). Echogenicity of all preserved ovaries was normal on pelvic Doppler ultrasonography, with presence of antral follicles in six. Three ovaries were smaller than expected for age, although two of these had antral follicles. Mean AMH was 5.54 ± 2.25 ng/mL in the detorsion group and 2.70 ± 2.11 ng/mL in the oophorectomy group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The presence of follicles in preserved ovaries after detorsion has been reported previously. AMH is expressed in granulosa cells of growing follicles and its serum level is valuable in assessing the quantitative aspects of ovarian reserve. Preservation of the ovary in children with torsion is justified in terms of future ovarian reserve.

Abstract
Objective Prompt diagnosis and management are essential for saving the adnexal organs from infarction in cases of ovarian torsion (OT). This study aimed to determine the diagnostic significance of signal peptide, complement C1r/C1s, Uegf, and Bmp1 (CUB), and epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein-1 (SCUBE-1) levels in cases of OT, an emergent ischemic condition, and the relationship of SCUBE-1 with oxidative stress parameters. Methods This prospective study was conducted among 15 OT patients and 20 age- and gravidity-matched healthy women. SCUBE-1 serum concentrations were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In addition, oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring the serum levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and glutathione (GSH). Results The SCUBE-1 titers were significantly higher in the patients with OT than in the controls (p=0.008). In addition, serum FRAP and GSH levels were significantly lower in the OT patients than in the controls (p<0.001 for both). Serum AOPP levels were higher in the OT patients, but this trend was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Furthermore, there were no correlations between SCUBE-1 levels and age, gravidity, parity, cyst size, and AOPP, FRAP, or GSH levels (p>0.05). Conclusion We believe that SCUBE-1 may be a promising biomarker for the early diagnosis of OT.

Abstract
Aim The aim of the present study was to assess the protective effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced ovarian damage in a rat ovarian torsion model. Methods Forty-two female Sprague Dawley rats were included in the study. They were divided into six groups as Group 1, sham; Group 2, bilateral ovarian torsion; Group 3, bilateral ovarian torsion–detorsion; Group 4, MgSO4–sham; Group 5, MgSO4–bilateral ovarian torsion; Group 6, bilateral ovarian torsion–MgSO4–detorsion. Both torsion and detorsion periods lasted 3 hours. In Groups 4, 5 and 6, MgSO4 (600 mg/kg) was administered by intraperitoneal route 30 minutes before sham operation, torsion and detorsion, respectively. At the end of the study period, both ovaries were removed. One of the ovaries was used for histopathological analyses and the other for biochemical analyses. Results In the torsion–detorsion group, all the histopathological scores were higher compared to the sham and torsion only group (p<0.05). Administration of MgSO4 only caused significant decrease in the inflammatory cell scores of the torsion–detorsion group (p<0.05). MgSO4, whether given before torsion or before detorsion, suppressed malondialdehyde levels when compared to the untreated groups (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). Glutathione peroxidase activities were significantly higher in the MgSO4 applied torsion and detorsion groups than Groups 2 and 3 (p<0.05, for both). Administration of MgSO4 also caused an increase in glutathione levels in the torsion and detorsion groups compared to the torsion only and detorsion only groups (p<0.05, for both). Also, total oxidant status levels decreased in the MgSO4 applied torsion and detorsion groups compared to the untreated corresponding ones (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). MgSO4 significantly decreased the Oxidative Stress Index levels in the torsion–detorsion group compared to Group 2 (p<0.001). Conclusion Histopathological and biochemical analysis revealed that prophylactic treatment with MgSO4 reduces the changes observed in I/R injury in a rat model.

Abstract
Background: Apigenin is a plant-derived compound belonging to the flavone class, which possess antioxidant, free-radical-scavenging and anti-inflammatory properties. Aims: To address the effects of apigenin on serum anti-mullerian hormone levels, tissue oxidative stress parameters and histopathological changes in ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury. Study Design: Animal experiment. Methods: Twenty-eight female Wistar albino rats were randomly separated into four sections: Sham operation (group 1), ischemia/reperfusion plus saline (group 2), ischemia/reperfusion plus dimethyl sulfoxide (group 3) and ischemia/reperfusion plus apigenin (group 4). In all ischemia/reperfusion groups, a bilateral adnexal 3-h period of ischemia was performed, followed by 3-h of reperfusion. A single dose of 15 mg/kg apigenin was given intraperitoneally 60 min before reperfusion in group 4. After 3-h of reperfusion, both ovaries were removed, and blood samples were collected. The main outcome measures were serum anti-mullerian hormone levels, ovarian tissue malondialdehyde, total nitric oxide, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione levels and histopathological damage scores. Results: The ovarian tissue nitric oxide level was significantly lower, and the glutathione level was significantly higher in group 4 compared with groups 2 and 3. There was no significant difference in anti-mullerian hormone levels among the three ischemia/reperfusion groups. The histopathological damage score was lower in group 4 than in groups 2 and 3 (p>0.05). Conclusion: Administration of apigenin has no significant protective effect on ovarian reserve and tissue damage in ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to document the change in ovarian conservation rate after ovarian torsion as a result of continuous quality improvement (CQI) measures, and to determine factors that contribute to this outcome. DESIGN A retrospective, uncontrolled before-and-after study. SETTING An academic children's hospital. PARTICIPANTS Female adolescents younger than 18 years with surgically confirmed ovarian torsion from April 1, 1988 to October 15, 2013; excluding cases from 2003 (intervention period). INTERVENTIONS Implementation of CQI measures including educational programs, collaborative care pathways, and quality review with the goal of improving ovarian conservation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Demographic characteristics, details on presentation, investigations, consultation, surgical intervention, surgical findings, pathology, postoperative course, and follow-up imaging. RESULTS One hundred thirty-nine patients met inclusion criteria (42 pre-CQI cohort and 97 post-CQI cohort). Mean ages were 9.96 and 10.33 years, respectively. Ovarian conservation rates were 47.6% compared with 85.6%, respectively (P < .001). The following factors differed between cohorts: fever (P = .003), ultrasound completed (P = .001), time from first health care provider visit to imaging (P = .025), time from specialist consultation to surgery (P = .002), surgical start time within 1 hour of booking (P < .001), and gynecologist present in operating room (P < .001). A log-binomial regression model showed that gynecology presence in the operating room (relative risk [RR], 2.043) was associated with untwisting. Increasing time from specialist consultation to surgery (RR, 0.986 per hour) was inversely associated with untwisting. Fever at presentation was also inversely associated with untwisting (RR, 0.666). CONCLUSION The implementation of CQI measures was associated with a significant increase in ovarian conservation rate.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian detorsion in patients with ovarian torsion. METHODS From February 2014 to September 2015, a total of 11 patients with ovarian torsion underwent laparoscopic detorsion. These 11 patients were eligible for study, and ovarian reserve was assessed on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and by antral follicle count preoperatively, and in postoperative months 1 and 3. RESULTS Mean patient age was 25.4 ± 5.5 years. Although mean antral follicle count on the operated side was slightly lower than on the contralateral side at 1 month postoperatively (P > 0.05), at 3 months postoperatively there was no difference in mean antral follicle count between the operated and contralateral sides (P > 0.05). There was no significant change in serum AMH level at 1 and 3 months postoperatively compared with the preoperative level (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic detorsion of twisted ovary is a safe procedure to preserve ovarian function, and does not impair ovarian reserve according to antral follicle count and AMH during the course of follow-up.

Abstract
Surgical procedures lead to profound and sustained (up to 1–2 weeks) activation of the pituitary gland, resulting in changes in endocrine function. Questions remain on whether activation of the pituitary influences the threshold and development time-course of postoperative pain. To address these questions, we evaluated postoperative hypersensitivity in female and male rats with ablated pituitary and gonadal hormone productions via hypophysectomy, ovariectomy and gonadectomy, respectively. Plantar incision, a model of acute postoperative pain, or sham operation was performed on rat hind paws. Hypophysectomy, ovariectomy and gonadectomy were achieved by surgical disconnection of pituitary, ovaries and testicles, respectively. Postoperative thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity were monitored for 7 days post incision. Hypophysectomy on female and male rats produced statistically similar thermal and mechanical postoperative hypersensitivity thresholds and time-courses as compared to intact estrous female and male rats. Moreover, ovariectomy and gonadectomy did not significantly change postoperative hypersensitivity observed in control female and male animals. Our experiments demonstrate that hypophysectomy, ovariectomy and gonadectomy do not significantly impact postoperative hypersensitivity observed in normal female and male animals. These data suggest that surgery-induced changes in the endocrine system via activation of pituitary and subsequently gonadal tissues have little impact on the threshold and development of postoperative pain in female and male rats.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and enoxaparin on ovarian tissue preservation, ovarian reserve and oxidative damage following ovarian torsion/detorsion injury. Rats were divided into four groups (n = 6/group): control; ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R); I/R + NAC; I/R + enoxaparin. Twenty-four hours after detorsion, ovarian tissues were collected for histopathological analysis and measurement of tissue 8-OHdG, GSH, MDA, MPO and SOD concentrations, as well as pre- and post-operative circulating AMH concentrations. Administration of NAC resulted in more pre-antral follicles compared with enoxaparin treatment and haemorrhage and follicle cell degeneration were more pronounced in I/R + enoxaparin group than I/R + NAC group. Both NAC and enoxaparin led to a significant reduction in ovarian tissue 8-OHdG (P = 0.004 and P = 0.01, respectively) and MPO (P = 0.013 and P = 0.023, respectively) concentrations compared with I/R group, indicating a protective effect against I/R oxidative damage. Only NAC-treated animals showed a significant increase in GSH and SOD concentrations and decrease in MDA concentrations compared with I/R group (P = 0.007, P = 0.024 and P = 0.026, respectively). These results indicate that NAC is more effective than enoxaparin in minimizing ovarian damage and preserving ovarian reserve following ovarian torsion.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Ovarian torsion in children is a relatively rare cause of acute abdominal pain. This study evaluates the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian torsion with an emphasis on conservative treatment approaches including the long-term follow-up results. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS Patients with surgically treated ovarian torsions between December 2006 and February 2014 were included in this retrospective study. The patient population consisted of 41 patients with 42 ovaries involved. The mean age was 11 ± 3.9 (range, 1-17) years. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain. INTERVENTION All patients underwent preoperative pelvic color Doppler ultrasonography that identified torsion in 34 (81%) ovaries. RESULTS During surgery, a right-sided torsion was detected in 25 (59.5%), and a left-sided one was detected in 17 (40.5%) ovaries. An excisional surgery was used for 16 (38%) ovaries, and detorsion with conservation of the ovary was used for 26 (62%). A trend toward conservative management was seen over the years. Regular follow-up for those patients who underwent conservative surgery was done in 22 patients for a mean of 25 months (range, 1.5-83 months). Control color Doppler ultrasonographic results were within normal limits in terms of ovarian size and blood supply in 17 (77%) patients. Despite normal parenchymal echogenicity, an involved ovary was smaller in size compared to the other ovary in five patients. Ovarian follicles were present in three of them. CONCLUSION The ovary-sparing, conservative surgery is found to be highly successful in the presented series. Although malignancies are rarely encountered in torsed ovaries with associated masses, biopsy samples should be obtained in suspicious cases.

Effect of detorsion alone and in combination with enoxaparin therapy on ovarian reserve and serum antimüllerian hormone levels in a rat ovarian torsion model. Fertil Steril 2014; 102:878-884.e1. [PMID: 24996496 DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2014.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2014] [Revised: 06/04/2014] [Accepted: 06/04/2014] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of enoxaparin on ovarian reserve and serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) levels in a rat ovarian torsion model. DESIGN Experimental study. SETTING Experimental surgery laboratory in a training and research hospital. ANIMAL(S) Fourteen female Wistar Hannover rats. INTERVENTION(S) 1) Control group received no special treatment other than abdominal exposure; 2) detorsion-only group received bilateral adnexal torsion (3-hour ischemia), and then after 3-hour torsion period, detorsion (reperfusion) was performed; and 3) detorsion-enoxaparin group received 0.5 mg/kg enoxaparin subcutaneously 2 hours before the same surgery as the detorsion-only group and a second 0.5 mg/kg dose of enoxaparin 24 hours after the first surgeries. Apart from the surgeries, preoperative and postoperative 1-mL blood samples were drawn from the right jugular vein of each rat. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Preoperative and postoperative serum AMH levels, histopathologic damage scores, and follicle counts in the ovarian tissue of the rats. RESULT(S) Vascular congestion and hemorrhage scores were higher in the detorsion-enoxaparin group than in the detorsion-only and control groups. The number of small antral follicles was smaller in the detorsion-only group than in the control group. The difference in the pre- and postoperative AMH levels was higher in the detorsion-only group than in the control and detorsion-enoxaparin groups. CONCLUSION(S) The combination of enoxaparin therapy with conventional ovarian detorsion is more effective in protecting the ovarian reserve than detorsion alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assess follicular reserve changes by follicle count in torsion-detorsion rat model. STUDY DESIGN 30 albino rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group (SG), detorsion after 24-hour torsion group (24hTG) and detorsion after 72-hour torsion group (72hTG). Ovaries were torsioned and fixed. They were untwisted 24 and 72 h later. Oophorectomies were performed at 14th day after detorsion. Tissue damage scoring and follicle counts were evaluated microscopically. RESULTS Tissue damage scores (TDSs) were higher in 72hTG and 24hTG compared to SG. In addition, as we increase torsion duration, TDSs also increased. There was no statistically significant difference in follicle numbers (primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary). CONCLUSION Duration of torsion and intensity of ovarian damage do not affect follicular reserve in a rat model. Regardless of their macroscopic appearance, ovaries maintain their follicle reserves after torsion. Thus, surgeons should be reassured and encouraged to untwist torsioned ovaries rather than removing them.
