Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the differences in dorsal penile nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (DNSEP) among three groups: patients with acquired premature ejaculation (APE), primary premature ejaculation (PPE), and healthy controls, aiming to better understand the condition and its underlying mechanisms.
  • - Results indicate that while there were no significant differences in the P40 latency among groups, PPE patients had higher DNSEP amplitudes at one measurement site, while APE patients had lower amplitudes; both PE groups exhibited shorter P30 latencies compared to controls.
  • - The study suggests that segmental DNSEP could help identify neurological issues related to premature ejaculation, informing future clinical approaches, although it acknowledges limitations such as the innovative P30/P40 ratio and

Background: It is difficult to diagnose hypogonadism because of the lack of objective assessments of erectile dysfunction (ED), which is caused by hypogonadism.

Aim: To provide a new approach for diagnosing hypogonadism, this study evaluated the efficacy of nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) testing with RigiScan for patients with ED with and without hypogonadism.

Methods: From June 2021 to February 2023, 133 patients with ED (62 with hypogonadism and 71 without) underwent NPTR testing at the Department of Andrology.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition in urology, primarily managed with PDE5 inhibitors (PDE5Is). However, approximately 20% of patients do not experience improvement in overall sexual satisfaction (OS) after taking PDE5Is. Among these, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has emerged as a complementary approach, with formulas like Hongjing I granules (HJIG) showing promise in preliminary studies.

Background: The emergence of multi-drug resistant () has posed a challenging clinical problem for treating its infection. The development of novel or new antibacterial agents becomes one of the useful methods to solve this problem, and has received more attention over the past decade. Citral is reported to have antibacterial activity against , but its mechanism is yet entirely clear.

Background: The pathogenesis of primary premature ejaculation (PPE) is complex, and the pathologic basis may be an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

Aim: To investigate sertraline efficacy in patients with sympathetic hyperexcitability in PPE and clarify the value of penile sympathetic skin response (PSSR) in assessing the efficacy of sertraline for PPE treatment.

Methods: Sixty-three patients with PPE were recruited in the outpatient clinic and asked to take 50 mg of oral sertraline daily for a 4-week treatment period.

As an important economic and medicinal crop, is rich in volatile oils and widely used in food additives, essential oils, and traditional Chinese medicine. However, the lack of the genome remains a limiting factor for understanding its medicinal properties at the molecular level. Here, based on 288.

Background: Penile dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential (DNSEP) is a scientific and objective technique that provides effective and objective data to establish the diagnosis of premature ejaculation (PE).

Aim: To explore differences in DNSEP between patients with primary premature ejaculation (PPE) and those with secondary premature ejaculation (SPE), in order to investigate the clinical value of DNSEP in the diagnosis of PE.

Methods: The participants were divided into a PPE group (34 cases), an SPE group (25 cases) and a healthy control group (18 cases).
