Varicocele as well as varicose veins of the lower extremities are quite widespread. To date, the mechanisms of variceal transformation remain not completely clear.Aim. To study the immunohistochemical profile in order to substantiate the common pathogenesis of varicose veins transformation in varicocele and varicose veins of the lower limbs; to confirm the key role of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia syndrome in the development of these diseases.Materials and methods. Vein wall fragments from 24 male patients aged 6–35 years old divided into the corresponding groups: group 1–12 patients with varicocele, group 2–12 patients with varicose veins of the lower limbs. Control group – 5 practically healthy men (age 16–32 years). Immunohistochemical study was performed with monoclonal antibodies to collagen types III, IV, α-SMA, fibronectin, laminin, MMP-2 and MMP-9, TGF-β1.Results and discussion. Histological and immunohistochemical studies of vein wall biopsy specimens in both groups revealed similar morphological changes, different from the control group. When assessing the expression level of α-SMA in both study groups, there was marked expression in the bundles of hypertrophic smooth muscle cells (in the zone of wall thickening where fibrosis was minimal) and weak expression in the bundles of smooth muscle cells “enmeshed” in connective tissue sleeves. Collagen type III showed weak expression in the subintimal zone and between the bundles of superficially located smooth muscle cells in both study groups. Expression of type IV collagen was detected in the areas of wall thickening and hypertrophy of smooth muscle cells. In both groups there was a pronounced expression of fibronectin in the most altered sections of the vein walls, especially in the middle layer, around the bundles of smooth muscle cells. There was marked expression of MMP-2 in all layers of the wall, and overexpression of MMP-9 in the areas of wall thinning (in the subintimal zone and muscular layer). TGF-β1 overexpression was also detected in vein biopsy specimens from both groups, predominantly in areas of thinning and pronounced intermuscular fibrosis.Conclusion. Taking into account the similarity of immunohistochemical manifestations in the vein walls in varicocele and varicose veins of the lower limbs we can speak about the common morphogenetic mechanisms of their remodeling. Thus, we consider it possible to combine various forms of varicosity into a single disease – varicose vein disease.","PeriodicalId":368206,"journal":{"name":"Andrology and Genital Surgery","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115872593","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}

Over the more than 100-year history of his scientific study, views on the biological functions of oxytocin in humans have undergone a significant and even revolutionary changes. For a long time, this neurohypophysis hormone, which is formed in the hypothalamus and is only deposited in it (central synthesis), was associated exclusively with female reproduction in the aspect of labor, breastfeeding and maternal behavior. However, over the past decades, a unique and extensive scientific base has been created confirming the universal nature of the effects of oxytocin in both sexes, which is predetermined by the presence of additional peripheral sites of oxytocin secretion in men and women, as well as an extensive receptor apparatus in many cells and tissues, which together allows oxytocin to function both endocrine central and auto- and paracrine local signaling pathways. This fact convincingly proves that oxytocin has a much wider range of physiological effects in the body of both sexes, and the results of modern research allow us to consider it as a central neuropeptide and a peripheral multifunctional hormone of great biological and social significance for humans.The review article briefly discusses the endocrinology of oxytocin and in more detail its physiological effects in men, including its role in social and sexual behavior, erectile function, protection from stress, reproduction, metabolism, prostate gland.
