Abstract Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is considered a physical and mental illness. A variety of potential associations between gut microbiota health or disease have been found. By comparing the healthy controls ED patients, our study investigated relationship microbiota. The results revealed that group exhibited significantly higher relative abundance Bacteroides , Fusobacterium Lachnoclostridium Escherichia‐Shigella Megamonas while showing lower Bifidobacterium compared to control group....
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a chronic disease with variety of psychosocial and somatic symptoms. CP/CPPS has substantial health care costs unclear etiology, which may be caused by factors. Moreover, previous studies suggested that cognitive processes played crucial role in the perception pain. Therefore, aim this meta-analysis was to analyze characteristics men CP/CPPS, especially symptom catastrophizing.Relevant publications were searched different...
Introduction Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a common and severe form of male infertility. Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) combined with intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI) an optimal treatment for men NOA. However, the outcomes affecting factors ICSI NOA patients different etiologies receiving microTESE are still unclear. Methods A total 335 undergoing from January 2017 to December 2021 were included in this retrospective analysis. The divided into five groups...
Abstract Background Few studies have investigated psychogenic sexual dysfunction including erectile (pED); the effect of tadalafil on behavior male rats induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) remains unclear. Aim The aim was to explore influence CUMS and effects that. Methods Adult were divided into 3 groups, normal group without CUMS, model with 6 weeks’ treatment during CUMS. consists water deprivation, food stroboscopic lightning, white noise, cage tilting, weeding packing,...
Various neuroimaging studies had identified changes of cerebral activity and structures during the processes sexual arousal. The brain regions were also believed to regulate emotional cognitive processes. Yet, little was known about neural mechanisms underlying psychogenic erectile dysfunction. Moreover, mediating processing arousal by these psychological unclear. To investigate this issue, graph theory applied evaluate topological properties functional networks among 24 dysfunction patients...
Premature ejaculation (PE), a common male sexual dysfunction, often accompanies by abnormal psychological factors, such as depression. Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed structural and functional brain abnormalities in PE patients. However, there is limited neurological evidence supporting the comorbidity of This study aimed to explore topological changes networks patients with
Despite increasing understanding of the cerebral functional changes and structural abnormalities in erectile dysfunction, alterations topological organization brain networks underlying psychogenic dysfunction remain unclear.Here, based on diffusion tensor image data 25 patients 26 healthy controls, we investigated its correlations with clinical variables using graph theoretical analysis.Patients displayed a preserved overall small-world exhibited less connectivity strength left inferior...
Abstract Introduction Hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system was considered as one factors involved in pathological mechanisms premature ejaculation ( PE ). Sympathetic skin response penis PSSR ) used to evaluate activity innervations penis, which controlled by central (brain). Shorter found patients; however, little known regarding neural patients with high activity. Methods evaluated, and diffusion tensor images participants were collected. Graph theoretical analysis employed...
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is characterized by chronic in area and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Previous neuroimaging studies demonstrated that was associated with the altered brain activity. However, pathological mechanisms control of CP/CPPS are not well-understood. Therefore, we sought to investigate topological properties white matter networks patients whether configuration frontal-parietal network disrupted. We collected 19 32 matched healthy...
Abstract Introduction Human brain was a complex network of interconnected regions. Recent neuroimaging studies had showed that the disruption connectivity associated with psychological disorders. Abnormal rich club and robustness networks might have key role in pathophysiology psychogenic erectile dysfunction ( pED ). Methods Both diffusion functional magnetic resonance imaging were performed patients healthy controls HC Measures organization under targeted attack explored. Results...
Nonorganic erectile dysfunction is a problem with unknown central mechanisms. Changes in brain activity the amygdala have been observed human patients. This study aimed to investigate dopamine system basolateral of male rats nonorganic dysfunction. We applied chronic mild stress induce After exposure stress, sucrose consumption test, sexual behaviour test and apomorphine were used select depression-like as model rats. The these after infusion D1/D2 receptor agonist/antagonist was observed....
Abstract Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to improve erectile function in animal models of dysfunction. However, few studies carried out using a reliable vivo imaging method trace transplanted real time, which is necessary for systematic investigation cell therapy. The study aims explore the feasibility non-invasively monitoring intracavernous injection ADSCs rat and miniature pig corpus cavernosum magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley rats...
The effectiveness of Tuina therapy has been confirmed in treating pain patients with cervical spondylosis (CS), however, its therapeutic mechanism is still unclear. This study aimed to observe the changes regional brain activity following painful CS based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data.
Abstract Introduction Recent neuroimaging studies have indicated that some brain areas are involved in the sexual behavior process. Pre‐mature ejaculation patients exhibit altered activation and abnormal cortical structures. However, there has been no research evaluating topological organization of structural network anejaculation ( AE ). Methods We employed diffusion tensor imaging data graph theory to examine whole‐brain networks among 16 23 healthy controls. In addition, results function...
