Pelvic surgery, even without direct cavernous nerve injury, carries a high risk of post‐
operative erectile dysfunction. The present studies were aimed at identifying molecular …

Introduction With the advent of genetically engineered mice, it seems important to develop a
mouse model of cavernous nerve injury (CNI). Aim To establish a mouse model of CNI …

Introduction Neurogenic erectile dysfunction is a common sequela of radical prostatectomy.
The etiology involves injury to the autonomic cavernous nerves, which arise from the major …

Purpose To investigate the effects of cavernous nerve injury (CNI) on gene expression
profiles in the cavernosal tissue of a CNI-induced erectile dysfunction (ED) model and to …

Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) after injury to peripheral cavernous nerve (CN) is
partly a result of inflammation in pelvic ganglia, suggesting that ED may be prevented by …

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? With the present study, we
aimed to provide a global picture of the molecular processes that are activated by CN injury …

OBJECTIVE To develop a rat model of erectile dysfunction (ED) after cavernous nerve injury.
MATERIALS AND METHODS Given the great similarity between the anatomical structure of …

Introduction With the advance of the “nerve sparing” technique in radical pelvic surgeries,
medically unaided rates of normal erectile function following surgery have improved. Precise …

Introduction Patients with a prostatectomy are at high risk of developing erectile dysfunction
(ED) that is refractory to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. The cavernous nerve (CN) is …

In an effort to identify neuronal repair mechanisms of the major pelvic ganglion (MPG), we
evaluated changes in the expression of nestin, an intermediate filament protein and neural …
