Oxytocin for preventing injury due to testicular torsion/detorsion in rats.
We aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of oxytocin on the testes for treating ischemia-reperfusion injury. ⋯ These results indicate that oxytocin can be considered as an alternative agent for treating testicular torsion in clinical practice to minimize tissue damage.

Features and treatment of gas-forming synergistic necrotizing cellulitis: a nine-year retrospective study.
As many doctors know little about gas-forming synergistic necrotizing cellulitis, we retrospectively explored it in our study. ⋯ For treating gas-forming synergistic necrotizing cellulitis, performing open drainage as early as possible isthe most important procedure after admission.

Case ReportsAcute arterial occlusion due to vascular closure device: A report of two cases.
Vascular closure devices are frequently used after percutaneous arterial interventions to achieve hemostasis at the puncture site and facilitate early ambulation. Occasionally, complications have been reported with closure devices, such as hematoma, infection, arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm, and ischemia. This is a report of 2 cases of severe, acute-onset arterial occlusion and critical limb ischemia, one of which occurred in the upper limb following the use of a vascular closure device, and the required surgical treatment.

Case ReportsIntestinal nonrotation and left-sided perforated appendicitis.
Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdominal pain, requiring emergency surgery. Approximately one third of cases have pain unexcepted location due to its various anatomical location. ⋯ Here we report a case who presented with left lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with acute perforated appendicitis with intestinal nonrotation. Clinicians should be aware that intestinal nonrotation may be presented with left lower quadrant pain and complicated by acute appendicitis.

Surgical treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures using anatomical lateral frame plate.
The present study evaluated the results obtained from the anatomical lateral frame plate treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures. ⋯ In the present study, we have defined the results of anatomical lateral frame plate treatment in patients with displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures. We have obtained clinically and radiologically satisfactory results with the anatomical compatibility of plate to the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
