Late treatment of priapism may be associated with unsuccessful aspiration and irrigation of the corpora cavernosa. In such cases intracorporeal instillation of streptokinase resulted in dramatic improvement in detumescence. A subsequent venous shunt procedure achieved good results.

Article Synopsis
  • * The condition was attributed to overactivation of parasympathetic pathways, leading to increased acetylcholine release and resultant penile blood flow issues.
  • * Despite various treatments to alleviate the condition, including medication and irrigation techniques, the boy required a surgical procedure (distal T-shunt) to resolve the ischemic priapism caused by the scorpion envenomation.

Introduction: Our goal was to assess how surgical management of hypospadias-associated penile curvature (HAPC) varies across continents, focusing on factors that influence assessment and decision-making.

Methods: Members of the European Society of Pediatric Urology (ESPU), Society of Pediatric Urology (SPU), and Hypospadias International Society (HIS) participated in an anonymous, 34-question online survey addressing pre-, intra-, and postoperative elements of HAPC evaluation and management. A selection of intraoperative photos were included in the survey to investigate the prevailing surgical approaches and identify management patterns.

Objective: To investigate whether icariin improves erectile function in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by regulating the NRF2 pathway.

Methods: We equally randomized 24 ten-week-old healthy male Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKR) and healthy male SHR rats into four groups: WKR control, WKR + icariin, SHR control and SHR + icariin, the controls treated intragastrically with normal saline, and the animals in the WKR + icariin and SHR + icariin groups with icariin, all at 10 mg/kg/d for 4 weeks. Then we obtained the body weight and serum T level of the rats and measured the maximum intracorporeal pressure / mean arterial pressure (ICPmax/MAP) and the contents of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), memeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), endothellial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) , dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH), nitric oxide (NO), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the corpora cavernosa tissue.
