The aim of our research is to investigate the success of the vasoactive intracavernous therapy in subjects suffering impotence only on a neurological basis. We have submitted 50 subjects to a multisciplinary study including P.B.P.I., intracavernous minitest plus V.S.S., M.M.P.I., B.C.R. latency, duration, aspect and an hormonal screening (SH, LH, PRL, F. TEST, 17 BE2). The patients, or their partners, were instructed in the technique of self intracavernous injection (S.I.C.I.) of vasoactive drugs. Papaverine alone was given to 37 patients in a mean dose of 20.8 +/- 11.7 mg. Other 13 patients were treated with papaverine plus phentolamine in order to obtain a full erection. Comprehensive results of the treatment were judged at 80% effective: only 10 patients discontinued self injection treatment, unable to perform this technique properly.

Objective: To study the effect of cordycepin on the expression of connexin 43 (CX43) in the corpus cavernosum tissue of the ED rats with type II diabetic mellitus (DM).
Methods: Forty male SD rats were fed with high-fat diet and injected intraperitoneally with STZ solution to induce type II DM, and then divided into 4 groups of an equal number: DM model control, low-dose cordycepin (10.0 mg/kg/d), high-dose cordycepin (30.
Value of transrectal color Doppler ultrasound of the common penile arteries in the diagnosis of arteriogenic erectile dysfunction: A pilot study.

Department of Radiology, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Background: Penile duplex Doppler ultrasound in combination with intra-cavernous injection of vasoactive agents (PDDU-ICI) is the most accepted tool for diagnosis of arteriogenic erectile dysfunction (AED), but is invasive, time consuming and at risk of side effects.
Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the potential of transrectal color Doppler ultrasound (TR-CDU) of the common penile arteries as a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of AED.
Materials And Methods: A consecutive series of 61 men consulting for erectile dysfunction (ED) and 20 controls underwent TR-CDU examination, aged from 40 to 80 years.

Department of Urology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: The transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) is a most promising treatment for diabetic erectile dysfunction (DMED). However, the effect of high glucose on the post-transplantation survival of stem cells limits the efficacy of ASCs transplantation. Prolonging the survival time of ASCs after transplantation is a key issue in the utilization of ASCs for DMED.
