Objective: To make a preliminary investigation on the safety and efficacy of focused low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT) in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).
Methods: We treated 32 ED patients by focused LI-ESWT with the device of Medispec's ED1000. Before and at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment, we evaluated the erectile function of the patients using the International Index of Erectile Function-erectile function domain (IIEF-EF), Erection Hardness Score (EHS), Sexual Encounter Profile questions 2 and 3 (SEP2 and SEP3), and Global Assessment Questionnaire questions 1 and 2 (GAQ1 and GAQ2), and recorded the incidence rate of adverse events.
Article Synopsis
- p53 is a crucial tumor suppressor gene that helps the body respond to environmental stress and is linked to female reproduction, particularly through its effects on embryo implantation.
- Recent research indicates that variations in the p53 gene, especially among eastern Asian populations, can influence reproductive health and the risk of reproductive disorders.
- The p53 family, including p63 and p73, plays significant roles in reproduction, such as regulating cell death and ensuring proper cell division, which could lead to new strategies for improving IVF success rates and diagnosing infertility issues.
