Comparative StudyManagement of testicular rupture after blunt trauma in children.
Testicular rupture is a very rare entity in children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair after testicular rupture in children. ⋯ Prompt surgical intervention is crucial. Ruptured testis can be salvaged, with a high success rate, if surgical repair is performed within 72 h of testicular injury.

Comparative StudyIschemic preconditioning and remote ischemic preconditioning have protective effect against cold ischemia-reperfusion injury of rat small intestine.
To investigate the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) against cold ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) associated with small bowel transplantation (SBT). ⋯ Both IPC and RIPC were found to ameliorate ischemia-reperfusion injury after rat SBT in the early phase. HO-1 may therefore play a protective role against cold IRI.
