Objective: The aim: Study of the clinical and pathogenetic role of IL-17, IL-35 and their correlation in the development of infertility in men with chronic ureoprostatitis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 82 male aged 20 to 40 were examined. The patients were divided into three groups: the first - 10 practically healthy men, in which the levels of IL-17 and IL-35 in semen were taken as normal; second - 33 infertile men with chronic urethroprostatitis; third - 39 fertile men with chronic urethroprostatitis. In addition to conventional clinical and laboratory (clinical blood and urine tests) studies, all men in semen were tested for IL-17 and IL-35 cytokine levels.
Results: Results: The levels of the studied cytokines were found to have opposite tendencies to shifts in the semen of men with chronic urethroprostatitis. The level of IL-17 in sperm increases and the level of IL-35 decreases. The IL-17/IL-35 index increases more strongly in men with impaired fertility.
Conclusion: Conclusions: Increas IL-17 concentrations, decreas IL-35 levels and increas their correlation may be an indicator of infertility in men with chronic ureoprostatitis. Determining the IL-17 / IL-35 correlation in general clinical practice will allow to single out a group of men with a high likelihood of developing infertility for follow-up and treatment by a doctor of family medicine.

Objective: To determine circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) counts and levels of inflammatory markers in individuals with and without type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in response to an intense aerobic exercise session.
Subjects And Methods: In total, 15 adult men with T1DM and 15 healthy individuals underwent a 30-minute aerobic exercise session on a cycle ergometer at 60% of the peak heart rate. The EPC count (CD45/CD34/KDR), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were measured before and 60 minutes after the session.

Introduction: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with cutaneous psoriasis (PsO), first defined by Moll and Wright. Initially perceived as relatively benign, PsA is now recognized for its chronic, progressive, and destructive nature, significantly impacting patients' quality of life, similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Globally, PsA represents about 20% of cases in early arthritis clinics, posing diagnostic and management challenges.

Unlabelled: Using data from NHANES for years 2005-2018, we examined temporal trends in osteoporosis prevalence and the proportion of undiagnosed osteoporosis in the United States of America. Our results suggested statistically significant increases in osteoporosis prevalence across several demographic groups. These findings carry profound implications for public health, given increased life expectancy and burden of chronic diseases.
