The proliferation,progression and metastasis of pancreatic cancer are complicated processes caused by muhiple factors.C-X-C motif ligand 5 (CXCL5) can recognize and bind to C-X-C motif receptor 2 (CXCR2),and activate or regulate the expression of signaling pathway by autocrine or paracrine pathway in cells.CXCL5/CXCR2 biological axis plays important roles in proliferation,adhesion,progression,metastasis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer,and is also associated with the angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis of pancreatic cancer.So,direct or indirect regulation of CXCL5/CXCR2 expression in pancreatic cancer can be effective for target therapy of pancreatic cancer.

Although phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are a revolution in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and have been marketed since 1998, they cannot restore pathological changes in the penis. Low-energy shock wave therapy (LESWT) has been developed for treating ED, and clinical studies have shown that LESWT has the potential to affect PDE5I non-responders with ED with few adverse effects. Animal studies have shown that LESWT significantly improves penile hemodynamics and restores pathological changes in the penis of diabetic ED animal models. Although the mechanisms remain to be investigated, recent studies have reported that LESWT could partially restore corpus cavernosum fibromuscular pathological changes, endothelial dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy. LESWT could be a novel modality for treating ED, and particularly PDE5I non-responders with organic ED, in the near future. However, further extensive evidence-based basic and clinical studies are needed. This review intends to summarize the scientific background underlying the effect of LESWT on ED.
