This study was planned to investigate GL's therapeutic effects and its mechanistic role in the tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside (GTW)-induced OAS rat model. In total, 60 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 8 weeks of age were assigned to six groups: blank (NC), model (GTW), GL low-dose (GL-L, 0.3 g/kg/day), GL medium-dose (GL-M, 0.6 g/kg/day), GL high-dose (GL-H, 1.2 g/kg/day), and GL high-dose + PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (GL-H 1.2 g/kg/day + LY 1.2 mg/kg/day) groups. The model was characterized after 8 weeks to examine sperm concentration and viability, serum hormone levels, testes histopathology, and specific protein markers. The treatment efficacy was evaluated by mRNA and protein expression levels, among other parameters. Compared with the GTW group, the viability and concentration of rat spermatozoa were significantly increased after GL intervention (<i>p</i> < .01). Meanwhile, the serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and T hormones in rats in the GL-M and GL-H groups were significantly higher than those in the GTW group (<i>p</i> < .05). Furthermore, GL enhanced the proliferation of spermatogenic cells by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, increasing and decreasing the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins, respectively. It is concluded that the mechanism by which GL effectively enhanced the spermatogenic function of the GTW-induced OAS model may be attributed to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation and the elevation of serum LH, FSH, and T hormone levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 6","pages":"15579883241293941"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11555725/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142611811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this review is to synthesize the evidence relating to the impact of mental health stigma reduction interventions among men and to explore the underlying BCTs associated with each intervention. The review was restricted to empirical research reporting on interventions targeting mental health stigma in male-dominated populations. The quality appraisal was conducted using the Mixed Methods Analysis Tool and a narrative synthesis was conducted. Fourteen articles reporting on 11 interventions were included for review, while 20 outcome measures were used. Perceived public stigma attracted the largest number of interventions with a lesser focus on self or personal stigma. Nineteen BCTs were identified across the interventions with information about health consequences and self-monitoring of behavior being the most common followed by credible source, social contact, and behavior practice/rehearsal. This is discussed in relation to the wider literature. The methodological issues highlighted in the articles limit the conclusions and recommendations that can be drawn from the review. Recommendations for further research include standardizing the scales used in stigma measurement, in-depth reporting of intervention descriptions, and greater use of theory to guide intervention development.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 6","pages":"15579883241299353"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two final themes were identified: \"'A man has to show that he is a man from a young age'-Social construction of violence\" and \"'At first it is hard to notice'-The subtlety of violence.\" It was identified that this phenomenon is configured as a historical, social, and cultural construction, mainly sustained by what is attributed to \"being a man\" in society and, consequently, the actions expected by this attribution. These perceptions are transversal in relationships within society and go beyond generations-and they are a layer in addition to memories of violence experienced or witnessed taking place in determining IPV experiences. Living in communities that legitimize gender inequities, generally in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, is a prominent factor influencing IPV among the studied population. In this context, psychological violence emerges as preponderant and triggers other forms of violence, which are difficult to notice and veiled behind prejudices.

This study investigates the interaction of masculinity, distrust in doctors, and parental support on attitudes influencing African American men’s reluctance to seek mental health care. A survey administered to 74 African American men revealed a negative correlation between masculinity and attitudes toward seeking mental health treatment. In contrast, no significant correlations were found between distrust in doctors and parental support on attitudes toward seeking mental health treatment.
