This study sought to investigate the protein expression levels of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, BCL-2, and BAX in varicose and healthy vessels from patients diagnosed with varicocele. Tissue samples were collected from 20 varicose veins and 20 healthy vessels from patients diagnosed with varicocele. Western blotting was utilized to quantify VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, BCL-2, and BAX protein levels. Analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in VEGFR3 protein expression within varicose veins compared to healthy vessels (<i>p</i> = .0473), while no significant differences were observed in the levels of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 between the two groups. Concerning apoptotic signaling proteins, no significant differences were noted in the individual expression levels of BAX and BCL-2; however, the BAX/BCL-2 ratio was approximately 1.29 in varicose vessels. This ratio, exceeding 1.0, may suggest a pro-apoptotic shift in varicose veins and indicates a potential involvement of apoptosis in the pathology of varicocele. These findings suggest that VEGFR3 may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of varicocele and could contribute to vascular alterations associated with this condition. Furthermore, the elevated BAX/BCL-2 ratio implies a pro-apoptotic environment within varicose veins, thereby implicating apoptosis as a possible mechanism in the development of varicocele.

The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework was used for answering the review question \"What evidence is available about factors contributing to PPPD in first-time fathers?\" Five databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed) were used to retrieve relevant, full-text, English references from January 01, 2020, to January 04, 2023. A data extraction tool was developed to identify risk factors assessed in the included studies. The Socio-Ecological Model (SEM) was used for analyzing the extracted data according to the four socio-ecological levels, i.e., individual, relationship, community, and societal. A total of 18 references reporting on 16 studies were included in the review. Fifty-six tools were used for assessing the risk factors contributing to PPPD in first-time fathers. Limited understanding was established about risk factors because tools lacked gender sensitivity. Risk factors aligned with 12 domains (e.g., psychological, relationship, social, and physical). Most domains corresponded with the individual level of SEM. Only two domains corresponded with the societal level of SEM.

We conducted a community-engaged study using survey data and eight bilingual (English/Spanish) focus groups with Latino/x men (<i>N</i> = 31, ages 19-59). We applied the principles of grounded theory to analyze transcripts. Fifteen focus group participants completed post-year surveys evaluating cultural modifications.

Key modifications included professionally translating the website, repositioning important information, and developing bilingual \"Everyday Stories\" videos featuring Latino/x men sharing mental health experiences. A follow-up survey demonstrated that 33.3% of participants revisited the website, and 46.7% referred others to it. Participants appreciated the new videos, reporting feeling \"seen\" and \"not alone.\" We engaged in three of five cultural adaptation processes to culturally modify MassMen for Latino/x men: information gathering, preliminary design, and preliminary testing. Despite limitations such as convenience sampling, a small sample size, and a 54% survey response rate, the study successfully illustrated the importance of community involvement in modifying a behavioral health intervention.

First, we trace how the study designs, data sources, and sampling methods used in research influence how we know about 2SGBTQ men's suicidality. Second, we report on anti-gay, anti-trans, and HIV stigma as characterizing the diverse associations between 2SGBTQ men's multiple social identities and their suicidality risk. Third, we detail how psychosocial health issues, including mental illness, financial precarity, and substance use, exacerbate social stresses and related risks of suicidality for 2SGBTQ men. These findings map understandings about how suicide risk diversely manifests among subgroups of Canadian-based 2SGBTQ men and interconnections between 2SGBTQ men's social identities, stigma, and their psychosocial health issues.

This case report discusses a 52-year-old AE patient with a long-term history of diabetes mellitus. His seminal vesicles ultrasound images revealed a notable absence of anechoic polycyclic areas, a characteristic not previously reported in AE patients. We hypothesize that this finding is attributable to diabetes-induced seminal vesicles secretory dysfunction, leading to AE in this patient. This case underscores the importance of anechoic polycyclic areas in the physiology of ejaculation and highlights the necessity for further research into the correlation between these areas and various types of ejaculatory disorders, aiming to provide valuable insights for the medical community.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"15579883251316257"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11863220/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481965","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}
