Background: The traditional audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) test may experience limitations including low erectile response rate and lack of unified diagnostic criteria.

Aim: We aimed to explore the clinical value of AVSS with virtual reality (VR-AVSS) test in assessing erectile function and diagnosing erectile dysfunction (ED).

Methods: Participants 18 to 60 years of age were screened for analysis in 3 clinical centers from June 2020 to March 2022.

Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 is a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. Recently, spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 has been highlighted as a biomarker in various cancers; however, the precise role of spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 in prostate cancer remains unknown. This study aims to evaluate whether spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1 affects the biological behaviors of prostate cancer.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explain the Numb anti-cancer effects in the prostatic cancer.

Methods: Collecting the 20 prostatic cancer patients and analyzing the correlation between Numb and Glease score. Transfection Numb into DU-145 and PC-3 cells, measuring the proliferation rate of difference groups by MTT assay, evaluating the cell apoptosis and cell cycle of difference group by Flow cytometry; measuring the invasion and migration abilities by transwell and wound healing assays.

The present study reports the clinical data of two patients with renal pelvis carcinoma and one patient with renal carcinoma who developed port-site metastasis following retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. The current study aimed to identify the cause and prognosis of the occurrence of port-site metastasis subsequent to laparoscopic radical resection of renal pelvis carcinoma and nephron-sparing surgery. Post-operative pathology confirmed the presence of high-grade urothelial cell carcinoma in two patients and Fuhrman grade 3 renal clear cell carcinoma in one patient.

The adrenal gland and urinary bladder are rare localizations of metastases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the present study, a case of metastasis to the contralateral adrenal gland and urinary bladder of clear cell-type RCC (ccRCC) in the left kidney is reported in a male who had undergone left radical nephrectomy at 55 years of age. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the right adrenal gland 5 years following surgery, and type-B ultrasound demonstrated a 1.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term on-demand use of vardenafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Methods: We conducted a questionnaire investigation among 891 ED patients treated by on-demand use of oral vardenafil at 20 mg every 3 days from March 2007 to January 2010, covering the general information of the patients, their need for and attitudes towards the treatment, clinical efficacy and adverse events of the drug, and satisfaction of the patients and their partners after 12 weeks of treatment.

Results: Treatment and follow-up were completed in 700 patients, of whom 504 (72%) achieved sufficient hardness and duration of penile erection and overall sexual satisfaction, 84 (12%) admitted to improvement of erectile hardness and duration but not adequate satisfaction, and the other 112 (16%) experienced no significant changes.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of the replacement of plaque by buccal mucosa in the treatment of Peyronie's disease.

Methods: We performed surgical replacement of the plaque by free autograft of buccal mucosa on 27 patients with Peyronie's disease, ranging in age from 24 to 72 years (mean 53), varying in disease course between 1 and 13 years, with a penile curvature angle of 30 degrees - 80 degrees in erection. Of the total number, 15 patients had the plaque located in the dorsal root, 6 in the dorsal shaft, 3 in the subcoronal shaft and 3 in the ventral shaft of the penis; 24 had 1 plaque, 2 had 2 and 1 had 3, ranging in size from 0.

Objective: To evaluate the type V phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitor erection-provoking test with audio-visual sexual stimulation in the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.

Methods: A total of 853 out-patients diagnosed with erectile dysfunction were divided into an injury and a non-injury group. After scored on IIEF-5 questionnaires, all the patients received oral administration of PDE-5 inhibitors and, 30 minutes later, audio-visual sexual stimulation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the clinical features and outcomes of deep sarcoma of the penis through two case reports and existing literature.
  • Both patients underwent total penectomy; one was diagnosed with epithelioid angiosarcoma and died from lung metastasis eight months later, while the other had epithelioid sarcoma and died from brain metastasis two months post-surgery.
  • The conclusion highlights the rarity of deep sarcoma, emphasizes total penectomy as the primary treatment, and suggests that lymph node dissection should only be done if swollen nodes are present, due to the associated poor prognosis.
