Objective To establish a new model on isolated human cadaver testes with ischemiareperfusion (I/R). MethodsThirteen isolated cadaver testes contributed by 13 persons were preserved under 0℃-4℃ hypothermia and then reperfused under 37℃. Histological and histochemical changes were observed. Results4℃ cold ischemia in 12 hours induced only trivial swelling and vascular degeneration of endothelial cells (ECs), obvious pathologic changes occurred after 24 hours, including detachment of ECs, separation between basement membrane and seminiferous epithelium, degeneration and detachment of spermatogenous cell and edema of mesenchyme. Injury was worse along with the prolongation of cold preservation time. Changes of LDH and SDH activities were found by histochemical staining. Reperfusion following 6 hours ischemia induced tissue injury and unusual enzyme activity. All changes were more obvious after reperfusion following 12,18,24 or 36 hours cold ischemia.Conclusion This new model on isolated cadaver testes with ischemiareperfusion is successful, it can substitute other solid organs of human beings for I/R injury study.
