The concentrations of galectin-3 and BNP, central and systemic hemodynamics, structural and functional heart parameters in male carriers of polymorphic AT1R genes without cardiovascular pathology (n = 79) living in Podillya region were studied. Genotyping of the AT1R gene was carried out using a polymerase chain reaction. The level of galectin-3 and BNP was determined by the method of enzyme immunoassay. It was found that the A1166A genotype dominated in practically healthy men of Podilly region. Nevertheless, the level of galectin-3 and BNP in the studied population did not significantly depend on the carriage of a specific variant of the AT1R gene.

A significant association of Mycoplasma genitalium with non-gonococcal urethritis has been reported, but the prevalence of this mycoplasma in men with gonococcal urethritis has not been so well studied. In this study, we examined urethral swab specimens from 45 Japanese male patients with gonococcal urethritis for the presence of M. genitalium by using a polymerase chain reaction-based assay. We also sought Chlamydia trachomatis by an enzyme immunoassay Chlamydiazyme . Of the 45 specimens, 2 4.4 were positive for the mycoplasma and 12 26.7 were positive for C. trachomatis. The findings suggest that M. genitalium may be a cause not only of non-gonococcal urethritis but also of postgonococcal urethritis.
