... (ABP) induced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Material and Methods: A total of 42 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 7 groups as follows: control, ABP (24, 48, and 72 h), and TQ-ABP (24, 48, and 72 h). The prostate tissue samples were assayed for prostate tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric...

...Shohei Tobu; Mitsuru Noguchi; Teppei Hatada; Ken-ichi Mori; Manabu Matsuo; Hideki Sakai Purpose: To demonstrate the change in the expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) in the rat bladder with partial bladder outlet obstruction (P-BOO). Materials and Methods: Bladder specimens were...

...Jian-Jun Yu; Yue Min Xu; Yian Tao Objective: To develop a modified rat varicocele model. Methods: 300 male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected. In 82 rats (classic group, CG), this was achieved by dissecting the left renal vein and ligating it using a 0.8-mm metal clip and 3–0 silk suture proximal...

...Sun-Ouck Kim; Hee Sam Na; Dongdeuk Kwon; Soo Yeon Joo; Hyung Suck Kim; Youngkeun Ahn Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether periurethral injection of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could increase the leak point pressure (LPP) in a rat model of stress urinary...

... ureters, unilateral ligation of ureter was performed in 45 rats. Twenty-four of the rats received intramuscular injections of furosemide (6 mg/kg/day) after the third day postligation. Eight rats were sacrificed for examination on days 7, 10 and 14 after ligation, respectively. The remaining 21 untreated...

...B. Uvelius; P. Lindner; A. Mattiasson A partial urethral obstruction was induced in female rats. After 6 weeks, detrusor weight had increased eightfold and collagen concentration had decreased to about 40% compared to controls. Due to the weight gain, the total amount of detrusor collagen had...

...Hideki Fuse; Yasuyoshi Fujiuchi; Akira Junicho; Masashi Iwasaki; Takashi Katayama To examine the effect of carboplatin on testicular function, carboplatin was administered to mature male Sprague-Dawley rats. Four weeks after carboplatin treatment, the serum level of follicle-stimulating hormone...

...F. Recker; H. Ruebben; J. Neuerburg; A. Bex; F.-J. Deutz; F. Hofstaedter The kidneys of 30 rats were treated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) with different doses of extracorporeal shock waves: 500, 1,000 and 2,000. The animals were sacrificed after 24 h, 7, 14 or 35 days. Magnetic...

...W. Rössler; K. Dreikorn; V. Lenhard; W.J. Zeller; P. Scholler The effect of allogeneic blood transfusions on tumour growth was studied in the rat. BD IX animals pretreated by five blood transfusions from SD rats were transplanted with two different syngeneic malignant neurogenic tumours (neurinoma...

...Staffan Andersson; Per Bjerle; Arne Kronström Cystometry at different infusion rates was performed in 7 rats in vivo. The bladders were furthermore allowed to relax from different transmural pressures. When distension of the bladder was moderate, relative relaxation was small and almost independent...

...J.L. Mijan; J.A. Aneiros; F. O’Valle; A. Zuloaga; J.L. Martinez; M. Camara The ultrastructural change in rat kidneys was analyzed after intraperitoneal injection of oxalic acid. This study demonstrates fundamental alterations in the epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules (PCT). At 8 h...

...D. Jonas; F. Moritz; S.J. Jenner; H.G. Baumgarten An attempt was made to trace α-adrenoceptor-binding sites in the lower urinary tract tissue of the rat by means of analyzing the distribution of radioactivity in autoradiograms of freeze-dried or glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue following intravenous...

...A. Hodgkinson; P. Bissett; Judith Tye Succinimide, phenyl lactate, n-heptanoate, oxamic hydrazide, 2-oxoglutarate and ethinyl oestradiol all failed to reduce the urinary excretion of oxalic acid in male Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats. The problem of controlling oxalate excretion in patients...

...J. Thomas; M.T. Duburque; A. Champagnac; S. Jean In the female rat intoxicated with ethylene glycol the oxaluria increases with the degree of intoxication. The increase is less in the animals treated with succinimide. The comparative study of the results of the dosages made with gas-liquid...
