Hookah smoking has been implicated in inducing oxidative stress which may be a risk factor for male infertility. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by evaluating the effect of hookah smoking on sperm quality and the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and Cytochrome P450 family 24 subfamily A member 1 (CYP24A1) genes which are involved in antioxidant response. Young fertile men in reproductive age were categorized into hookah smokers (n = 32) and non-smokers (n=52). Sperm parameters (concentration, volume, motility, morphology) as well as gene expression of NRF2 and CYP24A1 were evaluated in each sperm sample. There was no meaningful change in sperm parameters in the case group compared with the controls. The mRNA levels of NRF2 was significantly higher in the case group compared with the controls (p = 0.01), while CYP24A1 expression did not significantly change between the study groups. A remarkable increase in NRF2 expression in hookah smokers might be a cellular defense mechanism, indicating activation of antioxidant response in sperm to counteract potential oxidative stress caused by hookah use. However, further research is needed to understand the functional consequences of this upregulation.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 6","pages":"15579883241306893"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11645737/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142824012","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}

This is a qualitative study carried out through semi-structured interviews, with 15 students from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from May to July 2021. The data were analyzed thematically and anchored in the ecological framework of understanding violence. 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. Educational practices for healthy relationships are proposed and emphasized from basic to higher education as well as peer and professional support.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 6","pages":"15579883241299330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11580044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680551","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}

While the molecular regulatory mechanisms of BLCA are not yet fully understood, HSPE1, a member of the heat shock protein family, is regarded as a reliable prognostic target for BLCA. Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, the differential expression levels of HSPE1 and its relationship to GPX4 were examined. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was used to carry out HSPE1 pathway enrichment analysis. HSPE1 and GPX4 expressions in cells were assessed using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Cell cycle alternations and apoptosis were evaluated using flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was assessed using EdU and colony formation assays. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test, glutathione (GSH) measurement, and Liperfluo assay were utilized to evaluate the presence of ferroptosis in cells. BLCA tissues and cells had significantly elevated levels of HSPE1. In BLCA, high expression of HSPE1 inhibited apoptosis while promoting cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Significant enrichment of HSPE1 was found in the GSH metabolism and ferroptosis pathways, according to pathway enrichment analysis. In cancer cells, HSPE1 promoted GSH accumulation, decreased lipid peroxidation, and inhibited cell ferroptosis, as demonstrated in a rescue experiment with the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1. Pearson correlation analysis unveiled a substantial positive correlation between HSPE1 and the ferroptosis regulator GPX4. According to the results of rescue experiments, HSPE1 regulated GPX4 to affect cell lipid peroxidation levels and GSH accumulation. HSPE1 plays a crucial role in regulating GPX4 to prevent BLCA cells from undergoing ferroptosis, with this control mechanism dependent on GSH.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"18 6","pages":"15579883241306904"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11653450/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142833511","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}

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. These findings were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, underscoring the urgent need to address masculine norms in mental health discourse among African American men.

Those with a severe FOC were more likely to report having on-going mental health difficulties ( p = .039) and one fifth (21%) of the participants with severe FOC wanted to receive professional treatment, but only 8.1% received treatment. Most participants either preferred individual support or to receive support together with their partner. Fathers with severe FOC were more likely to report one or more barriers than those without FOC ( p = .005), where unwanted social stigma was the single largest barrier. Qualitative findings identified one main category: Expectant fathers missing and wishing for support for FOC composed four generic categories: (1) support in developing an understanding of their fear, (2) coping by being aware of feelings, (3) professional support through trust and respect, and (4) needing individualized support. To encourage healthy fathers, clinical professionals should find ways to support fathers, such as by providing them with their own perinatal appointments, asking them about their feelings, as well as screening, diagnosing, and treating fathers with severe FOC.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248325","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}

Traditional masculinity norms also result in a lack of recognition and barriers to the treatment of depression in men. This study is aimed to determine the prevalence and factors of paternal postpartum depression among fathers whose wives gave birth. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 7 to 17, 2023. The 288 sample size was estimated using a single population proportion formula and selected by random sampling technique. The data were exported from Kobo Toolbox and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Candidate variables were identified in bivariate at p < .25 for the multivariate analysis. A p < .05 and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) were used to determine the significance. A total of 280 partners participated making a 97.22% response rate. Paternal postpartum depression was 19.6%(95% confidence interval [CI] = [15.4%, 24.3%]). It was significantly associated with history of depression (AOR = 4.4, 95% CI = [1.7, 10.9]), unplanned pregnancy (AOR = 4.7, 95% CI = [1.9, 11.3]), alcohol consumption (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI = [1.3, 7.4]), infant sleeping problem (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI = [1.1, 8.9]), and mode of delivery (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI = [1.3, 7.6]).

While four commercial products, tobacco, alcohol, ultra-processed food, and fossil fuels, account for more than a third of global deaths, there is a need to recognize that consumer goods industries can make both positive and negative contributions to health. This article begins much-needed discussions about what we might learn from, and strategically tap in the commercial sector to seed, scale, and sustain men’s health promotion programs. Three case studies, online sports betting, beer and the rise of the nonny, and athleisurewear, are discussed. Connections between online sports betting and masculinities explain young men’s disproportionate involvement and gambling addictions with recommendations to legislate an end to gambling advertisements and de-incentivize industry profiteering through penalties and higher taxes. Regarding beer and the rise of the nonny, brewers have innovated with non-alcoholic beer based on shifting consumption patterns and masculinities in their core market—men. The nonny reminds health promoters to know their end-user’s values and behaviors to bolster program acceptability. Detailing Under Armour and Lululemon, two highly gendered but diversifying athleisurewear brands, the complexities of, and potential for, leveraging public health and industry collaborations are underscored. Taken together, the article findings suggest men’s health promoters should rigorously explore tapping key commercial entities and tax revenues to advance the health of men and their communities.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"28 1","pages":"15579883241277047"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142203417","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}

Significant heterogeneity was noticed among the studies, with an I2 value of 99% and a 95% prediction interval of 3% to 11%. Geography emerged as a significant moderator of this heterogeneity (p < .001). Specifically, studies from China reported a notably higher prevalence of 20% (15%-26%), while other countries reported a lower prevalence of 5% (3%-6%). A symmetrical Doi plot with a Luis-Furuya-Kanamori (LFK) index of -0.57 indicated no publication bias. HIVST has a low take-up among MSM globally.
