title: [Effect of Zhenyangjian on the penile hemodynamics of the patients with arterial erectile dysfunction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore an efficacious therapy for arterial erectile dysfunction (ED) by observing the effect of the Chinese traditional medicine Zhenyangjian on the penile hemodynamics of the patient.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty-seven patients with arterial ED, aged from 40 to 49 years, were treated with Zhenyangjian for 1 month. Intracavernous injection of papaverine and phentolamine (30 mg/l mg) was given and multifunctional color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the peak systolic velocity(PSV) of the corpus cavernous arteries before and after Zhenyangjian administration.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The PSV of the penis corpus cavernous arteries was obviously ameliorated in all the patients (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Chinese traditional medicine Zhenyangjian can promote penile erection effectively.
