3. A randomized clinical trial investigating treatment choice in Chinese men receiving sildenafil citrate and tadalafil for treating erectile dysfunction
Asian Journal of Andrology 2017;19(4):500-504
Sildenafil and tadalafil are efficacious and well tolerated in Chinese men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Recent study results indicate that men with ED in China who were naïve to phosphodiesterase inhibitor type 5 (PDE5) therapy prefer tadalafil 20-mg (on-demand) versus sildenafil 100-mg (on-demand). Differences in psychosocial outcomes may help to explain treatment preference in favor of tadalafil. This open-label, randomized, crossover study compared psychosocial outcomes and drug attribute choices between tadalafil and sildenafil in Chinese men with ED naïve to PDE5 inhibitor therapy. Eligible patients were randomized to sequential 20-mg tadalafil/100-mg sildenafil (n = 190) or 100-mg sildenafil/20-mg tadalafil (n = 193) for 8 weeks each and were asked which treatment they preferred to take for the 8-week extension phase. Psychosocial outcomes were assessed using the Psychological and Interpersonal Relationship Scale (PAIRS), Drug Attributes Questionnaire (DRAQ), and Sexual Life Quality Questionnaire (SLQQ). When taking tadalafil versus sildenafil, men had a higher mean endpoint score on the PAIRS Spontaneity Domain (tadalafil = 2.86 vs sildenafil = 2.72; P < 0.001), and a lower mean endpoint score on the Time Concerns Domain (tadalafil = 2.41 vs sildenafil = 2.55; P < 0.001). A numerical increase in the Sexual Self-Confidence Domain was observed when taking tadalafil versus sildenafil (tadalafil = 2.76 vs sildenafil = 2.72; P = 0.102). The most frequently chosen drug attributes explaining treatment preference were able to get an erection long after having drug, and ability to get an erection every time. SLQQ results were comparable between treatment groups. These psychosocial outcomes may explain why more Chinese men preferred tadalafil versus sildenafil for the treatment of ED in this clinical trial.
4.Efficacy of tadalafil for erectile dysfunction: an updated review.
National Journal of Andrology 2007;13(6):568-572
Tadalafil is an effective drug in treating erectile dysfunction (ED), and its clinical efficacy has been confirmed by a great many researches. Tadalafil is distinguished from sildenafil and vardenafil by its prolonged action lasting 36 hours for a sigle dose, compared with about 4 hours for sildenafil. Furthermore, this drug is effective in improving the erectile function of ED patients including those with various comorbid conditions. Tadalafil can help ED patients to regain morning erection and recover the confidence as a man. More and more ED patients choose tadalafil as the first line therapy because of its long efficacy and its conformability to the therapeutic requirement by restoring ED patients to normal, natural and pleasurable sexual life.

Objective To investigate the correlation between invasion ability and cytoskeleton remodeling of hepatocarcinoma cell by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and to explore mechanical properties during genesis,development and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Four HCC cell lines (MHCC-97H,MHCC-97L,SMMC-7721 ,Huh-7 )with different invasive ability were studied.Mechanical parameter (Young′s modulus)was measured by AFM.The pattern of cytoskeleton remodeling of HCC cell lines with different invasive ability was detected by immunofluorescent staining. The difference of cell invasive ability was tested by cell scratch experiment in other to verify mechanical data.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between groups.Results The results of AFM indicated that Young′s modulus of cytoplasma area and nucleus area decreased gradually as cell invasion ability increased (χ2 =472.78,622.43,both P <0.01).According to invasive ability from low to high,Young′s modulus of cell cytoplasm area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 1 602.43 (845 .48,3 317.25)Pa,1 055 .28 (367.48,2 280.77)Pa,1 026.78 (369.20,2 019.96)Pa and 503.12 (366.11 ,700.31)Pa,respectively.Young′s modulus of cell nucleus area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 2 823.98 (1 262.78,4 440.07 )Pa,1 313.43 (590.71 , 2 678.62)Pa,1 285 .17 (583.29,1 961 .19)Pa and 655 .57 (441 .29,943.39)Pa,respectively.The results of immunofluorescent staining showed that the stronger the cell invasive ability,the worse cytoskeletal integrity and more irregular cell microfilament distribution. In cell scratch assay, the migration rate of MHCC-97H was 46.67% in 24 h and 86.47% in 48 h,that of MHCC-97L was 45 .70%in 24 h and 82.86% in 48 h,that of SMMC-7721 was 39.41 % in 24 h and 79.85 % in 48 h and that of Huh-7 was 34.60% in 24 h and 72.09% in 48 h,which showed that the cell migration orderly in creased as the cell invasion ability increased.Conclusions It seemed that HCC with higher invasive ability had lower Young′s modulus,softer cell,stronger deformability,worse cytoskeleton integrity and more irregular cell structure,and vice versa.
6.Androgen regulates penile erection at the peripheral level.
National Journal of Andrology 2006;12(12):1059-1062
Androgen has been claimed for so long as a pivotal hormone in regulating male sexual function, acting both at the central and peripheral level. We believe that androgen is indeed the main synchronizer of sexual activity regulating libido and enzymes as nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and phosphodiesterase type 5 ( PDE5) , which are crucial for the erectile process. The main action of androgen is to timely adjust the erectile process as a function manifestation of sexual desire, therefore finalizing erection to sex.

7.Tadalafil for erectile dysfunction: excellent safety and tolerance.
National Journal of Andrology 2009;15(1):92-95
As a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, tadalafil is administered orally for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). In addition to its outstanding efficacy that lasts 36 hours, tadalafil shows an excellent safety and tolerance, with only a few transient mild to moderate adverse events. Usually ED patients are concomitantly afflicted with multiple pre-existing medical conditions or receive a range of drugs at the same time. Therefore, it is essential to understand its safety in general population and some special high-risk cohorts.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate decision regret among patients receiving penile girth enhancement with acellular dermal matrix (PGE with ADM) and to investigate the potential indicators for decisional regret so as to facilitate the decision-making process for this special group.
METHODS:
In the study, 78 patients receiving PGE with ADM from Jun. 2016 to Jan. 2019 at Peking University People's Hospital and cooperative hospitals were eligible. Penile girth was taken by only one surgeon 1 week before surgery. Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), international index of erectile function (IIEF) and a 10 cm long visual analogue scale named visualized penile image (VPI) were applied to measure psychological burden, erectile function and satisfaction with penile image respectively at the same time. All the patients were followed up for 3 months. Decision regret scale (DRS) was adopted for measuring decisional regret. Multivariate analysis of variance was applied to investigate the potential indicators for regret. Data analysis process was conducted with SPSS (version 24.0; SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).
RESULTS:
Mean penile girth recorded before intervention was (8.29±0.30) cm and increased to (9.46±0.29) cm post surgery (t=76.28, P < 0.01). As for both subscales of HAD measuring psychological burden, a signi-ficant reduction in the mean score was seen, that is, 2.8±1.3 (t=19.28, P < 0.05) for anxiety and 3.0±1.2 (t=20.67, P < 0.05) for depression, respectively. The average score of VPI increased by 3.7±1.1 (t=30.63, P < 0.05). There was no significant change in the average score of IIEF measuring erectile satisfaction (t=1.60, P=0.11). Twenty-nine (38.2%) patients expressed regret to some degree, and the mean DRS score was 23.4±14.8. The scores of DRS correlated negatively with scores of visualized penis image (r=-0.348, P < 0.01), and positively with scores of anxiety (r=0.760, P < 0.01) and depression subscale (r=0.471, P < 0.01). The scores of DRS was irrelevant to those of IIEF (r=0.02, P=0.867). The patients with high annual income (> 120 000 yuan) and education level above undergraduate were more prone to experience decision regret after intervention (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
PGE with ADM did augment penile girth and lower psychological burden, the regret rate of which was acceptably low among the patients. High income and good education might indicate more post-operative regret. Additional decision-making aids should be offered to patients with high income and education level above high school.
