Disease relevance of Orchitis

  • None of 24 sera from men with seminomas and none of 5 sera from men with orchitis had elevated SP1 [1].
  • 5HT, the immediate stimulus of testicular CRF secretion, is released during stress and is locally increased in the testis in pathological conditions associated with impaired testicular function (i.e., orchitis, varicocele) [2].
  • We report 8 patients with Wegener granulomatosis (WG) who suffered from symptomatic urogenital involvement including acute urinary retention related to prostatitis, orchitis, ureteral stenosis, bladder pseudotumor, and penile ulceration [3].
  • Hence, the aging AROM+ males present with a phenocopy of inflammation-associated infertility in men, providing a model for further studies on the putative link among estrogens, orchitis, and infertility [4].
  • The serum CRP titers were significantly higher in the patients with orchitis than in those with meningitis [5].
 

High impact information on Orchitis

  • In two rabbits with higher levels of circulating antisperm antibodies and severe orchitis, granular deposits of IgG and C3 were also present in renal glomeruli [6].
  • Acute orchitis in familial Mediterranean fever [7].
  • Multiple loci govern the bone marrow-derived immunoregulatory mechanism controlling dominant resistance to autoimmune orchitis [8].
  • Adeno-associated virus-mediated human IL-10 gene transfer suppresses the development of experimental autoimmune orchitis [9].
  • In mink with secondary infertility, the frequency and degree of orchitis and testicular immune complexes increased from March (peak sexual activity) to April (onset of testicular regression) [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Orchitis

  • Ciprofloxacin or clavulanic acid/amoxicillin was administered as bacterial orchitis could not be excluded at initial presentation [11].
  • Thus, B. pertussis-induced sensitivity to histamine appears to play a more crucial role during the sensitization phase of autoimmune orchitis induction, rather than at the inflammatory or effector phase of the disease [12].
  • Moreover, rats with orchitis had significantly increased testicular testosterone [13].
  • The effects of the treatment with the immunosuppressant deoxyspergualin on the development of experimental autoimmune orchitis were studied [14].
  • The increase in testicular steroidogenesis without a concomitant enhancement in serum LH levels detected in rats with autoimmune orchitis suggests the existence of local control mechanisms [13].
