... initiation of therapy. The aim of our study was to assess the reliability of a routinely performed screening examination. Patients and Methods: Newborns were examined by a pediatrician between 48 and 72 h after birth. Boys with suspected cryptorchidism were double-checked by a pediatric urologist within 24 h...

...) and to individuate changes in clinically differentiated abnormalities of testicular descent: cryptorchidism or undescended testis (UDT) and retractile testis (RT). Background: The CM is a nonsomitic striated muscle differentiating from mesenchyme of the gubernaculum testis. Morphofunctional and molecular...

...Tao Deng; Xuan Zhang; Guanghuan Wang; Shouxing Duan; Maxian Fu; Jun Zhong; Jianhong Li; Xuewu Jiang Objective: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of children with cryptorchidism complicated by testicular torsion. Methods: The clinical data of 6 children...

...Hendrik Borgmann; Sabine Kliesch; Stephan Roth; Mael Roth; Stephan Degener Introduction: We performed a professional campaign in Germany intending to establish the urologic profession as a competent and helpful point of contact for patients with cryptorchidism. The aim of this study was to assess...

...Faruk Hadziselimovic The ultimate goal in the treatment of cryptorchidism is to achieve normal fertility. However, in a substantial number of cryptorchid males, early and apparently successful orchidopexy does not improve fertility as it does not address the underlying pathophysiological cause...

...Vytautas Bilius; Gilvydas Verkauskas; Darius Dasevicius; Vytis Kazlauskas; Dalius Malcius; Faruk Hadziselimovic Background: Increasing evidence of progressive damage to germ cell development in boys with cryptorchidism suggests recommending surgery until one year of age. However, despite early...

...Huan Jiang; Wei-Jie Zhu Introduction: Infertility in adulthood is a well-recognized consequence of cryptorchidism, even after successful orchidopexy. Autoimmune reactions against spermatozoa are associated with infertility and often found in cryptorchids. The purposes of this study were to evaluate...

...E. Rachmani; Z. Zachariou; H. Snyder; F. Hadziselimovic Introduction: Fusion anomalies of the testis and epididymis are associated with cryptorchidism. We present an analysis of the fusion anomalies of the epididymis in cryptorchid boys. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective review...

...Kai-Fa Tang; Jian-Zhong Zheng; Jun-Ping Xing Objective: To investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism 12 (SNP12) in the estrogen receptor α ( ESR1 ) gene in hypospadiac or cryptorchid patients from Northwestern China. Methods: 103 patients and 40 controls were analyzed for SNP12 to verify...

... the differences in gene expression profiles between cryptorchid and descended testes. In particular, we analyzed expression of all recently published genes known to be associated with undescended testis. Patients and Methods: Twenty-two testicular biopsies from 18 boys were analyzed. We analyzed gene expression...

...Isoji Sasagawa; Osamu Yamaguchi; Yasuo Shiraiwa; Teruhiro Nakada We report a case of Klinefelter’s syndrome in a 3-year-old boy with unilateral cryptorchidism. The literature is reviewed, and hormonal condition and treatment of Klinefelter’s syndrome are discussed. 2 07 1990 18 10 1990...

...Takanori Yamaguchi; Shinichiro Kitada; Yukio Osada We have studied peripheral blood samples for chromosomal anomalies in 110 consecutive patients who had cryptorchidism and/or hypospadias. Of the patients 7 (6.4%) were found to have chromosomal anomalies. The incidence of chromosomal anomalies...

...Isoji Sasagawa; Teruhiro Nakada; Tohru Hashimoto; Manabu Ishigooka; Yuichi Adachi; Yoko Kubota; Hiroyuki Watanabe We report a case of Klinefelter’s syndrome associated with unilateral cryptorchidism and chordee without hypospadia. The literature is reviewed, and hormonal conditions of Klinefelter’s...

...Isoji Sasagawa; Teruhiro Nakada; Manabu Ishigooka; Masahiko Tomaru; Toshihiro Sawamura; Tadashi Tateno Identification of marker chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed in 2 cases of cryptorchidism. In case 1, the marker chromosome was derived from chromosome 22. In case 2...

...L.Y. Dirix; E. Wouters; J. van Nueten; W. van Eerdeweg; A.T. van Oosterom A patient with an extragonadal germ cell tumor and a history of bilateral cryptorchidism is reported. The rarity of this concurrence in a single patient is discussed. The necessity for thorough investigation...

...M. Mićić; S. Mićić; V. Ganev; D. Tzvetkov A cytogenetic chromosomal analysis was performed in 140 infertile men with cryptorchidism – 85 with unilateral and 55 with bilateral. The most frequent anomaly was sex chromosomal aneuploidy found in 7.1% of patients. This is significantly higher compared...

...Tatsuhiko Tanigawa; Hiromitsu Mimata; Masazumi Takeshita; Jiro Ogata Membrane fluidity and lipid composition of rat testis in experimental bilateral cryptorchidism were studied. Membrane fluidity measured by fluorescence anisotropy of diphenylhexatriene decreased on the 3rd day of intraabdominal...

...Ch. Banner; J. Frick Semicastration in cryptorchidism of adults is the preferential therapy. A positive effect on fertility is usually to be expected. An aggravation did not occur in any case. If for any reason, in cases of cryptorchidism or especially if only one testis is present orchidopexy...

...Masatoshi Moriyama; Yutaka Senga; Yoshiaki Satomi A 3-year-old boy was found to have abnormality of the external genitalia at birth. Physical examination revealed hypospadias penis and bilateral cryptorchidism. Chromosomal analysis of peripheral blood showed the karyotype of 47, XXY...
