Article Title: Extracorporeal Shock Waves Therapy Delivered by Aries Improves Erectile Dysfunction in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats Through Penile Tissue Remodeling and Neovascularization

doi: 10.1016/j.esxm.2019.08.006

Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative images of SHR corpus cavernosum sections immunostained for CD31 and semiquantitative evaluation of CD31. Sections of penis were obtained in sham rats (Panel A) or rats who received the Li-ESWT protocol delivered by Aries (Panel B). Immunopositive cells stained brown (arrows). Magnification: ×40 (left panel), ×400 (right panel). The mean number of dots is presented in Panel C. Li-ESWT = low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy; SHR = spontaneously hypertensive rat.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplot illustrating CD31 stain expressed as a percentage of tissue area. The derivation of CD31 measurements was as described for Fig. . The data illustrates that, relative to levels seen in the control lungs of sheep undergoing an acute radiation response (CON, Acutes), there was increased expression of endothelial cell marker throughout the lungs of sheep undergoing a chronic radiation response. With the exception of one sheep (ED982), radiation exposure was associated with a decrease in expression of CD31 in the radio-exposed lung (Rx) relative to the contralateral control lung (CON).

Article Snippet: Primary antibodies CD31 (PECAM-1) clone CO.3E-1D4 (Novus Biologicals NB100-65900) and Normal Mouse IgG (Sigma M5284) were diluted to 10 μg/ml in 1:10 blocking solution (10% NDS/BSA/PBS-T diluted in BSA/PBS-T) and incubated overnight at 4 °C.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Relationship between collagen and CD31 expression in sheep during the chronic response to radiation. For each sheep the average values for collagen (Picrosirius Red) and CD31 stain area were calculated for each radio-exposed (⊗) and contralateral control (Ο) lung and plotted against each other. A significant negative association existed between these variables (Pearson correlation = − 0.829; P-Value = 0.011).
