[Efficacy and tolerability of dapoxetine in the treatment of premature ejaculation].

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of dapoxetine in the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Methods: We randomly assigned outpatients with premature ejaculation in the proportion of 2:1 to receive 30 mg dapoxetine on demand (n =78) or 50 mg sertraline qd for one month (n = 39). Follow-up was accomplished in 95 cases, 63 in the dapoxetine group and 32 in the sertraline group.

Photoselective Vaporesection of the Prostate with a Front-firing Lithium Triborate Laser: Surgical Technique and Experience After 215 Procedures.

Backgroud: Although photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is considered one of the most promising alternatives to transurethral radical prostatectomy, a longer operative time, an unsatisfactory tissue removal rate, and the absence of postoperative pathology samples remain the main criticisms for this procedure.

Objective: To describe the novel technique of photoselective vaporesection of the prostate (PVRP) with a front-firing lithium triborate (LBO) laser and to report our initial experience.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a prospective study of 215 patients undergoing PVRP between November 2011 and March 2013.

[Etiology and treatment of bladder spasm associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Objective: To investigate the etiology and treatment of bladder spasm associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods: Urodynamic tests were performed in 102 cases of BPH before operation. The correlation of bladder spasm with aging, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life, prostatic volume, operation methods and urodynamic indexes was studied by t and chi2 tests.
