Serum Inhibin B Levels Reflect Contralateral Testicular Damage following Unilateral Testicular Trauma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate contralateral testicular damage (CTD) following unilateral blunt testicular trauma (BTT) and testicular capsule laceration (TCL) by the serum inhibin B level which is an accepted marker of spermatogenesis. METHODS: Fifty peripubertal male Wistar albino rats were divided into 5 groups each containing 10 rats. Group 1 was the control group. Group 2 was the BTT group in which the right testicle was placed on a firm surface and a metal rod weighing 215 g was dropped onto the testicle from a height of 5.5 cm. Group 3 was the TCL group in which right testicular tunica albuginea was lacerated using the needle of 4/0 silk suture. Group 4 had right orchiectomy initially. Group 5 was the sham group. In all groups, 3-ml blood samples were taken and bilateral orchiectomies were performed 6 weeks after initial manipulations. RESULTS: Groups 2 and 3 had decreased inhibin B levels (p < 0.001), although the orchiectomy group had normal levels. Histological analyses showed lower Johnsen scores for both trauma groups in the ipsilateral and contralateral testes (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Serum inhibin B levels decrease following unilateral testicular trauma reflecting CTD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
