High fructose diet is associated with the global metabolic syndrome (MtS) pandemic. MtS develops in early life, depending on prenatal and postnatal nutritional status. We hypothesized that ovariectomy increases the chances of developing MtS in adult offspring following high fructose intake by the mother. Pregnant C57BL/6J mouse dams drank water with or without 20% fructose during pregnancy and lactation. After weaning, the pups were fed regular chow. The offspring were evaluated until they were 7 months of age after the mice in each group, both sexes, were gonadectomized at 4 weeks of age. The offspring (both sexes) of the dams who had high fructose intake developed MtS. In the offspring of dams who drank tap water, orchiectomy increased the body weight gain and body fat accumulation, while ovariectomy increased the body fat accumulation as compared to the sham controls. In the offspring of dams with high fructose intake, orchiectomy decreased the body weight gain, body fat accumulation, visceral adiposity, and glucose intolerance, while ovariectomy exacerbated all of them as compared to the sham operations. These data indicate that ovariectomy encourages the development of MtS in adult offspring after maternal high fructose intake, while orchiectomy prevents the development of MtS. The sex difference indicates that male and female sex hormones play contradictory roles in the development of MtS.

Onco-testicular sperm extraction is used to preserve fertility in patients with bilateral testicular tumors and azoospermia. We report the case of a testicular tumor in the solitary testis of a patient who had previously undergone successful contralateral orchiectomy and whose sperm was preserved by onco-testicular sperm extraction. A 35-year-old patient presented with swelling of his right scrotum that had lasted for 1 month. His medical history included a contralateral orchiectomy during childhood. Ultrasonography revealed a mosaic echoic area in his scrotum, suggesting a testicular tumor. The lesion was palpated within the normal testicular tissue along its edge and semen analysis showed azoospermia. Radical inguinal orchiectomy and onco-testicular sperm extraction were performed simultaneously. Motile spermatozoa were extracted from normal seminiferous tubules under microscopy and were frozen. Eventual intracytoplasmic sperm injection using the frozen spermatozoa is planned. Onco-testicular sperm extraction is an important fertility preservation method in patients with bilateral testicular tumors or a history of a previous contralateral orchiectomy.

Background: Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. The standard therapeutic approach has been radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide local resection of surrounding soft tissues. The current trend of organ preservation in the treatment of several cancers has started to evolve. Herein we present our testis-sparing surgery experience in the treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma and a pooled analysis on this topic. Materials and Methods: Clinical information from patient receiving organ-sparing surgery was described. Clinical studies evaluating this issue were identified by using a predefined search strategy, e.g., Pubmed database with no restriction on date of published papers. The literature search used the following terms: epidemiology, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, testis sparing surgery, spermatic cord sarcomas/liposarcomas. Results: Patient received a complete excision of the lesion, preserving the spermatic cord and the testis. The final pathological report showed a well differentiated liposarcoma with negative surgical margins and no signs of local invasion. After 2-year of follow-up, there was no evidence of local recurrence. Since the first case reported in 1952, a total of about 200 well-documented spermatic cord liposarcoma cases have been published in English literature. Among these patients, only three instances were reported to have received an organ-sparing surgery in the treatment of spermatic cord liposarcoma. Conclusions: Radical inguinal orchiectomy and resection of the tumor with a negative microscopic margin is the recommended treatment for liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. But for small, especially well-differentiated, lesions, testis-sparing surgery might be a good option if an adequate negative surgical margin is assured.

반달가슴곰 (Ursus thibetanus)은 국제적 멸종위기종으로, 국립공원관리공단에서 종복원 프로그램을 진행 중이다. 하지만 자연방사가 어려운 개체들은 제한된 사육 시설로 인해 곰 개체수 관리가 필요하여 수컷에서 고환절제술을 시행하였다. Tiletamine-zolazepam 2 mg/kg과 medetomidine $40{\mu}g/kg$ 합제를 이용하여 곰을 포획하고, 기관 삽관을 통해 isoflurane으로 전신마취를 유지하였다. 고환절제술은 전음낭 절개를 통해 closed method로 시행되었으며, LigaSure를 사용하여 정삭을 소락 절단였다. 절개면 피하조직은 흡수성 봉합사로 연속봉합 하였으며, 피부는 조직접착제로 봉합하였다. 별다른 부작용 없이 전신마취에서 회복되었으며, 총 마취 시간은 58분(곰 A)과 53분(곰 B)이었다. 수술시간은 26분(곰 A)과 24분(곰 B)이었으며, 술 후 부종이나 합병증은 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구는 반달가슴곰에서 LigaSure를 이용한 최초의 고환절제술 증례이다.

A 5-year-old male Shih-Tzu dog was referred with the primary complaint of scrotal swelling after surgery of urethrotomy 1 week ago. A diagnosis of the patient was made based on history taking, physical examination, laboratory examination, radiography, and ultrasonography. In the blood analysis, increase of leukocyte was seen. And there were enlarged and heterogeneous parenchyma of right testis in ultrasonic evaluation. The case was diagnosed as periorchiepididymitis and followed by treatment with bilateral orchiectomy and postoperative antibacterial agents. And conditions of patient were good.

음낭내 종물에 접하여 양성종양으로 가정한 후 관찰한 결과 희귀한 - 국내에서는 한 예가 보고되긴 했으나 - 고환초막의 섬유성가존양이라는 진단하에 정확한 치험을 하였기에 한 예를 보고하는 바이다.

We report a case of adult granulosa cell tumor arising in the scrotal tunics. The patient was a 34-year-old man who presented with right scrotal swelling, first noticed four months previously. Under the initial clinical impression of epididymo-orchitis, antibiotic treatment was instituted but there was no response. The paratesticular nodules revealed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging mimicked intratesticular lesion, and radical orchiectomy was performed. Although several cases of adult testicular granulosa cell tumor, have been reported, the occurrence of this entity in the paratesticular area has not, as far as we are aware, been previously described.

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) occurs mainly in female patients. In males the occurrence rate is low, which seems to be related to the low incidence of osteoporosis in men. Unfortunately, BRONJ tends to be ignored in general dental clinics in male patients with a history of osteoporosis treatment. BRONJ occurred in a male patient due to the clinician's lack of interest in the patient's history. In this case, the male patient was on bisphosphonate therapy because of a orchiectomy, and a dental treatment was performed without consideration of his medical history, resulting in BRONJ. We performed careful examinations and treatment with antibiotics and surgical operations. The postoperative healing was successful. In light of this particular case, we concluded that careful listening to the patient's history is very important.

연구목적 :고환의 정상피종은 방사선치료에 매우 민감한 종양으로서 초기 정상피종에 있어서 근치적 고환절제술 후 보조적 방사선치료로 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 10년간 서울대학교병원 치료방사선과에서 치료를 받은 28명의 환자를 대상으로 치료성적의 분석을 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1980년 8월에서 1990년 2월까지 서울대학교병원에서 치료를 받은 고환 정상피종 환자 32명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 하였다. 27명의 환자는 근치적 고환절제술 후에 그리고 5명은 재발 후에 방사선치료를 받았는데 각군에서 2명씩은 불완전한 방사선치료로 연구대상에서 제외되었다. 고환절제술후 치료를 받은 환자들의 병기별 분포는 1기 18명, IIA기 5명, IIB기 1명 IIC기 1명이었다. 재발 후 방사선치료를 받은 3명은 첫 진단시 병기를 알 수 없었다. 전체 환자 중 6명 환자에서 동측 고환, 2명에서 반대편 고환, 그리고 1명은 양측에서 잠복고환이 관찰되었다. 후복막 및 골반 임파절에 대한 방사선치료 선략의 중앙치는 2900cGy (1550-4550cGy)이었다. 종격동조사를 시행한 환자는 1기 1명, IIA기 4명, IIB기 1명 그리고 재발된 환자가 1명이었다. 항암화학요법은 IIB기 1명, IIC기 1명, 재발된 1명에서 방사선치료 전에 시행되었다. 환자들의 중앙추적기간은 104개월 (3-144개월) 이다. 결과 : 전체 국소치유율은 5년에 100%를 보였고, 1기 환자 1명에서 종격동 전이로 인한 사망을 보여 생존율은 5년에 1기 94.4%, 11기 100%, 그리고 재발한 경우에서 100%를 보였다. 결론 : 고환 정상피종에 있어서 방사선치료는 근치적 고환절세술 후의 보조적 목적뿐 아니라 국소적으로 재발한 경우에 있어서도 우수한 치료방법으로 생각된다.

We report a case of cauda equine syndrome following caudal anesthesia possibly caused by metastatic spine tumor. Male, 80-year-old, who had prostatic carcinoma with $L_3$ and $L_4$ spine metastasis was scheduled for bilateral orchiectomy. Twenty two-gauge needle was introduced at sacral hiatus and 15 ml of 2% lidocaine administered. The next morning, patient complained of perineal numbness and urination difficulty. During the next several day patient had episodes of fecal incontinence and motor weakness on both lower extremities. This case reminded us that neuroaxial blocks such as spinal, epidural and caudal anesthesia, should be used with extreme care in patients having neoplasm with high incidence of spine metastasis.
