At the same time, the physiology and pathophysiology of prolactin in men, due to the historically established interpretation of the functions of this hormone only as an endocrine regulator of the female reproductive system, have remained insufficiently studied for a long time. However, in recent decades, convincing scientific evidence has begun to accumulate that prolactin is just as important for men as for women. It has been shown that in both sexes prolactin not only exhibits important classical (reproductive) effects, but has a wide range of non-productive physiological functions in many organs and cells. In particular, to date, not only reproductive, but various hormonal-metabolic, psychosomatic, immune-inflammatory, sexual disorders caused by disorders of prolactin secretion (hypo- and hyperprolactinemia) have been described. The review article, based on the available modern literature, examines the general issues of endocrinology and physiology of prolactin in men, as well as the main andrological manifestations of disorders of its secretion by male reproduction, male sexual function and prostate gland.","PeriodicalId":36603,"journal":{"name":"Andrologia i Genital''naa Hirurgia","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135825646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted in men by Sertoli cells and plays an important role in the development of the male reproductive organs. High expression of AMH during embryonic development contributes to the regression of the Müllerian (paramesonephric) ducts; in the absence of AMH, the Müllerian ducts develop into the female internal genital organs. In adulthood, the clinical value of measuring AMH in serum and seminal plasma remains controversial. It is assumed that AMH, as a marker of the functional state of Sertoli cells, can be useful in the diagnosis of male infertility. Aim . To determine the clinical value of measuring serum and seminal plasma AMH levels in the diagnosis of male infertility by examining the current evidence base in the world literature. Materials and methods . A search was made for publications devoted to the study of the role of AMH in the diagnosis of male infertility in the international database PubMed, in the scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU and in the Google Scholar search engine. There were no restrictions regarding the status and period of publication. Results and conclusion . The results of the analysis indicate the absence of a significant relationship between the parameters of the ejaculate and the serum concentration of AMH, which does not allow using this indicator to assess male fertility. Serum AMH is of no value in the differential diagnosis of obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia, the prediction of assisted reproductive technologies outcomes, and the prediction of testicular biopsy outcomes in the general non-obstructive azoospermia patient population. It is likely that serum AMH may be useful in predicting testicular biopsy results in patients with Klinefelter’s syndrome and idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia. The clinical application of measuring the level of AMH in seminal plasma is limited by the high variability of this indicator, probably due to the dependence on the volume of the ejaculate and exposure to semen proteolytic enzymes. This indicator may be useful for the differential diagnosis of obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. In obstructive azoospermia, AMH is not detected in seminal plasma, but undetectable AMH concentrations can also be observed in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia, which reduces the differential value of this indicator. A promising direction is the use of AMH concentration in seminal plasma to predict the recovery of sperm motility after cryopreservation.","PeriodicalId":36603,"journal":{"name":"Andrologia i Genital''naa Hirurgia","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135878546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For over a century retrograde urethrography (RUG) has offered the key method to diagnose urethral stricture (US). The disadvantage of the technique, however, is a potential high risk to underestimate the stricture length due to distorted visualization and eventual flawed surgical planning. Aim . To consider retrograde sagittal urethrography (RSU) and how it contributes to enhancing US preoperative diagnostics and treatment efficacy in clinical practice. Materials and methods . We compared the protocols of pre-op urethrograms performed by a radiologist and a urologist to surgery protocols for both patient groups. Group 1 included 154 patients who underwent US surgical treatment from 2017 to 2021 after using RSU as a diagnostic method (positioning 90°). Group 2 comprised 142 patients presented with identical disease who received surgery between 2012 to 2016 in our hospital after RUG using traditional technique (positioning 45°). Discrepancies of 5 mm and over in stricture length measurements between radiography protocols and intraoperative data were considered a diagnostic flaw (i.e. inconsistency). Treatment efficacy was compared across both groups. Results . In 87.6 % of cases in Group 1 (RSU) protocols provided by a radiologist matched intraoperative data versus 45.7 % of cases receiving accurate protocol data in Group 2 (RUG) (χ 2 = 59.15, p <0.001). Urethrogram protocols prepared by a urologist pre-operatively were accurate in 95.4 % of cases in Group 1 versus 62.0 % in Group 2 (χ 2 = 49.11, p <0.001). The overall efficiency of surgery was higher in Group 1 (91.6 %), than in Group 2 (82.4 %) (χ 2 = 5.54, p <0.01). Conclusion . RSU is an innovative technique that allows to significantly improve the accuracy of urethral stricture length measurement, resulting in greater treatment efficiency in Group 1 of patients. The proposed urethrographic technique can be recommended as a basic diagnostic procedure for anterior US in men.","PeriodicalId":36603,"journal":{"name":"Andrologia i Genital''naa Hirurgia","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
