The physiologic variability of blood flow to the prostate has not been studied until this time. We report the vasoactive effects of sildenafil and phenylephrine on blood flow of the normal prostate. Sildenafil increases prostate blood flow by approximately 75% and phenylephrine reduces the flow incrementally. Administration of these drugs with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging may improve the diagnosis of cancerous tissue because according to the literature, tumor angiogenic vessels lack the vasoactive physiologic response of the normal tissue.
直到现在,前列腺血流的生理变异性尚未得到研究。我们报告了西地那非和去氧肾上腺素对正常前列腺血流的血管活性作用。西地那非可使前列腺血流增加约75%,而去氧肾上腺素则使血流逐渐减少。使用动态对比增强磁共振成像来给予这些药物可能会改善癌组织的诊断,因为根据文献,肿瘤血管生成血管缺乏正常组织的血管活性生理反应。
