Introduction
Recent neuroimaging studies have indicated that some brain areas are involved in the sexual behavior process. Pre‐mature ejaculation patients exhibit altered brain activation and abnormal cortical structures. However, there has been no research evaluating the topological organization of structural brain network in anejaculation (AE).
Methods
We employed diffusion tensor imaging data...
Background
Limited studies have explored the association between gaseous pollutant exposures and male reproductive outcomes, and findings remained inconsistent.
Objectives
To evaluate the potential association between gaseous pollutants and semen quality within different exposure windows.
Materials and Methods
We adopted semen quality data of 1852 subjects who attended the Reproductive Medicine...
Background
Adipose‐derived stem cells have been considered as a promising therapy for erectile dysfunction. However, the therapeutic efficacy of adipose‐derived stem cell‐based therapy requires improvement.
Objective
To determine whether the inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 in adipose‐derived stem cells would improve stem cell therapy for rats with diabetes‐induced erectile dysfunction.

Previously, we have demonstrated that human tissue kallikrein 1 (hKLK1) improves age‐related erectile dysfunction (ED). Autophagy has been implicated in age‐related diseases, including ED. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hKLK1‐mediated amelioration of age‐related ED via regulation of autophagy remains unknown. To explore the potential mechanism, male wild‐type Sprague‐Dawley rats (WTR)...
Adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) have recently been considered as a promising therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the mechanism of ADSC‐based therapy is unclear. Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by ADSCs were assessed in vitro. Sixteen 24‐month‐old male Sprague–Dawley rats were used for...
This prospective randomized clinical study is aimed to evidence the reproductive impairment of frequent scrotal heat exposure. A total of 20 normozoospermic subjects were randomly divided into two groups to undergo testicular warming in a 43 °C water bath 10 times, for 30 min each time; the subjects in group 1 underwent testicular warming for 10 consecutive days and those in group 2 once every 3 days...
We conducted this study to investigate whether glans‐reconstruction with preputial flap would be more helpful for post‐operative restoration of patients' sexual potency than primary closure. From 2007 to 2013 at four centres, 46 cases reconstructed with preputial flap and 59 with primary closure were selected for the investigation from 142 consecutive cases of superficial glans cancer, with the largest...
Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by an overactive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase system in penile tissue is an important mechanism of erectile dysfunction (ED). S‐allyl cysteine (SAC), a bioactive component derived from garlic, was recently reported to exert versatile antioxidant properties. We hypothesized that SAC would be able to resolve diabetes‐related...
