Second messenger systems such as the cAMP/adenylate cyclase (AC) system and the cGMP/guanylate cyclase (GC) system appear to regulate sperm functions. Increased levels of intracytosolic cAMP result in an enhancement of sperm motility and viability. The stimulation of GC by low doses of nitric oxide (NO) leads to an improvement or maintenance of sperm motility, whereas higher concentrations have an adverse effect on sperm parameters. Several in vivo and in vitro studies have been carried out in order to examine whether PDE5 inhibitors affect positively or negatively sperm parameters and sperm fertilizing capacity. The results of these studies are controversial. Some of these studies demonstrate no significant effects of PDE5 inhibitors on the motility, viability, and morphology of spermatozoa collected from men that have been treated with PDE5 inhibitors. On the other hand, several studies demonstrate a positive effect of PDE5 inhibitors on sperm motility both in vivo and in vitro. In vitro studies of sildenafil citrate demonstrate a stimulatory effect on sperm motility with an increase in intracellular cAMP suggesting an inhibitory action of sildenafil citrate on a PDE isoform other than the PDE5. On the other hand, tadalafil's actions appear to be associated with the inhibitory effect of this compound on PDE11. In vivo studies in men treated with vardenafil in a daily basis demonstrated a significantly larger total number of spermatozoa per ejaculate, quantitative sperm motility, and qualitative sperm motility; it has been suggested that vardenafil administration enhances the secretory function of the prostate and subsequently increases the qualitative and quantitative motility of spermatozoa. The effect that PDE5 inhibitors exert on sperm parameters may lead to the improvement of the outcome of assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs. In the future PDE5 inhibitors might serve as adjunct therapeutical agents for the alleviation of male infertility.展开更多

METHODS: A comprehensive research was conducted to identify all publications relating to benign prostate hyperplasia and treatment with sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil. To assess the efficacy, the changes in total international prostate symptom score(IPSS), IPSS subscore including voiding, storage and quality of life(Qo L), Benign prostatic hyperplasia Impact Index(BII), maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax) and the International Index of Erectile Function(IIEF) were extracted. A meta-analytical technique was used for the analysis of integrated data from the included studies to evaluate the mean difference in the results. RESULTS: Total IPSS score, IIEF and BII showed a significant improvement in trials in which LUTS/BPH with or without erectile dysfunction(ED) were compared with the placebo. For LUTS/BPH, the mean differences of total IPSS score, IIEF and BII are-2.17, 4.88 and-0.43, P < 0.00001, respectively. For LUTS/BPH with comorbid ED, the mean difference are-1.97, 4.54 and-0.52, P < 0.00001, respectively. PDE5-Is appear to improve IPSS storage, voiding and Qo L subscore(mean difference =-0.71,-1.23 and-0.33, P < 0.00001, respectively). Although four doses of tadalafil(2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg) failed to reach significance in Qmax(mean difference = 0.22, P = 0.10), the 5 mg dose of tadalafil significantly improved the Qmax(mean difference = 0.33, P = 0.03).CONCLUSION: PED5-Is demonstrated efficacy for improving LUTS in BPH patients with or without ED and could be considered to be the first line treatment for LUTS/BPH.展开更多

Methods: The rats were fed a high-energy diet for 12 weeks and divided into three groups: an obesity-resistant (OR) control group, an obesity-prone (OP) control group, and an OP-DA-8159 treatment (DA-8159) group. The electrostimulation-induced erectile responses were measured in all groups. The body weight, plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels were also measured. Results: In the OP control group, the maximum intracavernous pressure (ICP) and ICP/blood pressure (ICP/BP) ratio after electric stimulation were significantly lower than those in OR control group. The corresponding area under the curve (AUC) of the ICP/BP ratio, the detumescence time and the baseline cavernous pressure were also lower than those in the OR control group, but this difference was not significant. The body weight gain, plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level in the OP group were significantly higher than those in the OR group. After administering the DA-8159, a significant increase in the maximum ICP and the ICP/BP ratio were observed. The corresponding AUCs in the DA-8159 group were also higher than those in the two control groups. Furthermore, the detumescence time was significantly prolonged after treatment with DA-8159. Conclusion: These results demon- strate that diet-induced obesity affects the erectile function in rats and these erectile dysfunction (ED) can be improved by the treatment with DA-8159, indicating DA-8159 might be a treatment option for ED associated with obesity.展开更多

The relationship between age and mortality, alone and with T/TRT, statin and PDE5 I treatment was studied using logistic regression. Mortality probability and 95%CI were calculated from the above models for each individual. RESULTS Age was associated with mortality(logistic regression, OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 1.08-1.13, P < 0.001). With all factors included, age(OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.06-1.11, P < 0.001), Low T/treated(OR = 0.38, 95%CI: 0.15-0.92, P = 0.033), PDE5I/treated(OR = 0.17, 95%CI: 0.053-0.56, P = 0.004) and statin/treated(OR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.36-0.97, P = 0.038) were associated with lower mortality. Age related mortality was as described by Gompertz, r2 = 0.881 when Ln(mortality) was plotted against age. The probability of mortality and 95%CI(from logistic regression) of individuals, treated/untreated with the drugs, alone and in combination was plotted against age. Overlap of 95%CI lines was evident with statins and TRT. No overlap was evident with PDE5 I alone and with statins and TRT, this suggesting a change in the relationship between age and mortality. CONCLUSION We show that statins, PDE5 I and TRT reduce mortality in diabetes. PDE5 I, alone and with the other treatments significantly alter age related mortality in diabetic men.展开更多

Most studies have focused on the prevalence rate or dangerouse factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the basic epidemiologic data about ED patients with different ED courses. The purpose of this researth was to understand the therapeutic effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5-1) and see how and why the ED course impact the progress of ED and the therapeutic effect of PDE5-1 treatment. Methods From June 2008 to June 2009, 4252 questionnaires (Quality of Erection Questionnaire, QEQ) were gathered from 46 centers by urology or andrology doctors all around China. Patients with ED (age 〉 20 years) filled in first half of the questionnaires when they came for the first time, and then completed the second half 4 weeks after PDE5-1 therapy. Results ED courses of most patients were less than 5 years (〈5 years, 74.0%; 5-10 years 20.8%; 〉10 years, 5.2%). As ED course increasing, the incidence of the risk factors of ED, such as smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and hyperlipidemia also increase (P 〈0.01). PDES-I was effective in improving the quality of sexual activities (P 〈0.01). Administration of PDE5-1 improves satisfaction, enjoyment and frequency of sexual activities. The longer the ED course, the worse the therapeutic effect (〈5 years, 96.1%; 5-10 years, 94.9%; 〉10 years, 89.0%) (P 〈0.01). Conclusions The ED course greatly affected the therapeutic effect of PDE5-1, the patients with ED should consult doctor at early stage of the disease. Admistration of PDE5-1 effectively improves the penile erection and the quality of sexual life of the patients hence should be considered as first-line medicine in the treatment of ED.展开更多

The constant discoveries of nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) cell-signaling pathway for smooth muscle (SM) control in other urogenital tracts (UGTs) make PDE5-1s promising pharmacologic agents against other benign urological diseases. This article reviews the literature and contains some previously unpublished data about characterizations and activities of PDE5 and its inhibitors in treating urological disorders. Scientific discoveries have improved our understanding of cell-signaling pathway in NO/cGMP-mediated SM relaxation in UGTs. Moreover, the clinical applications of PDE5-1s have been widely recognized. On-demand PDE5-1s are efficacious for most cases of ED, while daily-dosing and combination with testosterone are recommended for refractory cases. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators also have promising role in the management of severe ED conditions. PDE5-1s are also the first rehabilitation strategy for postoperation or postradiotherapy ED for prostate cancer patients. PDE5-1s, especially combined with (z-adrenoceptor antagonists, are very effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) except on maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) with tadalafil recently proved for BPH with/without ED. Furthermore, PDE5-1s are currently under various phases of clinical or preclinical researches with promising potential for other urinary and genital illnesses, such as priapism, premature ejaculation, urinary tract calculi, overactive bladder, Peyronie's disease, and female sexual dysfunction. Inhibition of PDE5 is expected to be an effective strategy in treating benign urological diseases. However, further clinical studies and basic researches investigating mechanisms of PDE5-1s in disorders of UGTs are required.展开更多

An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase up to January 2014 was performed to identify randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of PDE5-Is and (x-blockers for treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, which assessed IPSS score, maximum flow rate, postvoided residual urine, quality of life and Erectile Function (IIEF) score as outcomes. Data were analyzed by fixed or random effect models using Cochrane Collaboration review manager software. A total of 12 studies were included, Our novel data demonstrated that there was a trend that (x-blockers were more efficacious than PDE5-Is on decreasing IPSS score and increasing maximum flow rate. (x-blockers were significantly more effective than PDE5-Is on reduction of postvoided residual urine with a mean difference of 3.67 (95% CI 1.56 to 5.77, P = 0.0006) and PDE5-Is showed greater effect than (x-blockers on increasing IIEF score with a mean difference of 9.82 (95% CI 3.80 to 15.85, P = 0.001). In conclusion, our novel data demonstrated that PDE5-Is plus ABs ranked the highest on the improvement of LUTS/BPH. PDE5-Is monotherapy was also effective in this kind of disorder except less reduction of PVR than ABs, In addition, both combined- or mono-therapy were safe.展开更多

A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE to identify randomized controlled trials comparing PDE5-1s with placebo for the treatment of ED. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. The associations between prespecified study-level factors and effectiveness were tested by a random effects meta-regression model. This study included 93 trials with 26 139 patients. When all PDE5-1s were grouped together, Caucasian ethnicity was associated with 15.636% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.858% to 32.579%) increase in risk ratio (RR) for Global Assessment Questionnaire question-1 (GAQ-1), and 1.473 (95% CI: 0.406 to 2.338) score increase in mean difference (MD) for posttreatment International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function domain score (IIEF-EF), compared to Asian ethnicity. A one-score increase in baseline IIEF-EF was associated with -5.635% (95% CI: -9.120% to -2.017%) reduction in RR for GAQ-1, and -0.229 (95% CI: -0.425 to -0.042) score decrease in MD for posttreatment IIEF-EF. In conclusion, PDE5-1s are more effective in Caucasians than Asians, and in patients with more severe ED.展开更多

PDE5-Is appear to improve IPSS storage, voiding and Qo L subscore(mean difference =-0.71,-1.23 and-0.33, P < 0.00001, respectively). Although four doses of tadalafil(2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg) failed to reach significance in Qmax(mean difference = 0.22, P = 0.10), the 5 mg dose of tadalafil significantly improved the Qmax(mean difference = 0.33, P = 0.03).CONCLUSION: PED5-Is demonstrated efficacy for improving LUTS in BPH patients with or without ED and could be considered to be the first line treatment for LUTS/BPH.
文摘Aim: To examine the changes in the erectile function in diet-induced obese rats and investigate the oral efficacy of DA-8159, a new phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, on penile erection in obese rats. Methods: The rats were fed a high-energy diet for 12 weeks and divided into three groups: an obesity-resistant (OR) control group, an obesity-prone (OP) control group, and an OP-DA-8159 treatment (DA-8159) group. The electrostimulation-induced erectile responses were measured in all groups. The body weight, plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels were also measured. Results: In the OP control group, the maximum intracavernous pressure (ICP) and ICP/blood pressure (ICP/BP) ratio after electric stimulation were significantly lower than those in OR control group. The corresponding area under the curve (AUC) of the ICP/BP ratio, the detumescence time and the baseline cavernous pressure were also lower than those in the OR control group, but this difference was not significant. The body weight gain, plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level in the OP group were significantly higher than those in the OR group. After administering the DA-8159, a significant increase in the maximum ICP and the ICP/BP ratio were observed. The corresponding AUCs in the DA-8159 group were also higher than those in the two control groups. Furthermore, the detumescence time was significantly prolonged after treatment with DA-8159. Conclusion: These results demon- strate that diet-induced obesity affects the erectile function in rats and these erectile dysfunction (ED) can be improved by the treatment with DA-8159, indicating DA-8159 might be a treatment option for ED associated with obesity.

文摘AIM To determine how statins, testosterone(T) replacement therapy(TRT) and phosphodiesterase 5-inhibitors(PDE5I) influence age related mortality in diabetic men.METHODS We studied 857 diabetic men screened for the BLAST study, stratifying them(mean follow-up = 3.8 years) into:(1) Normal T levels/untreated(total T > 12 nmol/L and free T > 0.25 nmol/L), Low T/untreated and Low T/treated;(2) PDE5I/untreated and PDE5I/treated; and(3) statin/untreated and statin/treated groups. The relationship between age and mortality, alone and with T/TRT, statin and PDE5 I treatment was studied using logistic regression. Mortality probability and 95%CI were calculated from the above models for each individual. RESULTS Age was associated with mortality(logistic regression, OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 1.08-1.13, P < 0.001). With all factors included, age(OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.06-1.11, P < 0.001), Low T/treated(OR = 0.38, 95%CI: 0.15-0.92, P = 0.033), PDE5I/treated(OR = 0.17, 95%CI: 0.053-0.56, P = 0.004) and statin/treated(OR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.36-0.97, P = 0.038) were associated with lower mortality. Age related mortality was as described by Gompertz, r2 = 0.881 when Ln(mortality) was plotted against age. The probability of mortality and 95%CI(from logistic regression) of individuals, treated/untreated with the drugs, alone and in combination was plotted against age. Overlap of 95%CI lines was evident with statins and TRT. No overlap was evident with PDE5 I alone and with statins and TRT, this suggesting a change in the relationship between age and mortality. CONCLUSION We show that statins, PDE5 I and TRT reduce mortality in diabetes. PDE5 I, alone and with the other treatments significantly alter age related mortality in diabetic men.

Scientific discoveries have improved our understanding of cell-signaling pathway in NO/cGMP-mediated SM relaxation in UGTs. Moreover, the clinical applications of PDE5-1s have been widely recognized. On-demand PDE5-1s are efficacious for most cases of ED, while daily-dosing and combination with testosterone are recommended for refractory cases. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators also have promising role in the management of severe ED conditions. PDE5-1s are also the first rehabilitation strategy for postoperation or postradiotherapy ED for prostate cancer patients. PDE5-1s, especially combined with (z-adrenoceptor antagonists, are very effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) except on maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) with tadalafil recently proved for BPH with/without ED. Furthermore, PDE5-1s are currently under various phases of clinical or preclinical researches with promising potential for other urinary and genital illnesses, such as priapism, premature ejaculation, urinary tract calculi, overactive bladder, Peyronie's disease, and female sexual dysfunction. Inhibition of PDE5 is expected to be an effective strategy in treating benign urological diseases. However, further clinical studies and basic researches investigating mechanisms of PDE5-1s in disorders of UGTs are required.
文摘The aim of this systematic review is to determine the comparative effectiveness and safety of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-1s) and (x-blockers used alone or combined for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase up to January 2014 was performed to identify randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of PDE5-Is and (x-blockers for treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, which assessed IPSS score, maximum flow rate, postvoided residual urine, quality of life and Erectile Function (IIEF) score as outcomes. Data were analyzed by fixed or random effect models using Cochrane Collaboration review manager software. A total of 12 studies were included, Our novel data demonstrated that there was a trend that (x-blockers were more efficacious than PDE5-Is on decreasing IPSS score and increasing maximum flow rate. (x-blockers were significantly more effective than PDE5-Is on reduction of postvoided residual urine with a mean difference of 3.67 (95% CI 1.56 to 5.77, P = 0.0006) and PDE5-Is showed greater effect than (x-blockers on increasing IIEF score with a mean difference of 9.82 (95% CI 3.80 to 15.85, P = 0.001). In conclusion, our novel data demonstrated that PDE5-Is plus ABs ranked the highest on the improvement of LUTS/BPH. PDE5-Is monotherapy was also effective in this kind of disorder except less reduction of PVR than ABs, In addition, both combined- or mono-therapy were safe.
文摘The effectiveness of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-1s) for erectile dysfunction (ED) varies considerably among trials, but available studies investigating the factors that affect the effectiveness are few and findings are not consistent. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE to identify randomized controlled trials comparing PDE5-1s with placebo for the treatment of ED. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed by the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. The associations between prespecified study-level factors and effectiveness were tested by a random effects meta-regression model. This study included 93 trials with 26 139 patients. When all PDE5-1s were grouped together, Caucasian ethnicity was associated with 15.636% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.858% to 32.579%) increase in risk ratio (RR) for Global Assessment Questionnaire question-1 (GAQ-1), and 1.473 (95% CI: 0.406 to 2.338) score increase in mean difference (MD) for posttreatment International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function domain score (IIEF-EF), compared to Asian ethnicity. A one-score increase in baseline IIEF-EF was associated with -5.635% (95% CI: -9.120% to -2.017%) reduction in RR for GAQ-1, and -0.229 (95% CI: -0.425 to -0.042) score decrease in MD for posttreatment IIEF-EF. In conclusion, PDE5-1s are more effective in Caucasians than Asians, and in patients with more severe ED.
