Our previous study had demonstrated that Chinese medicine Epimedium Sagittatum (ES) exerted immuno-enhancing effect on the animal model of chronic renal insufficiency. In present study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of ES on patients of hemodialysis maintenance. 22 cases of regular hemodialytic patients were treated with ES in the form of decoction. 12 patients with hemodialysis were served as controls. It was found that ES had sexual potentiation effect and improved the quality of life in the patients of chronic renal failure with regular hemodialysis. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) activity of peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) stimulated by PHA was increased significantly in the patients treated with ES. It was suggested that Chinese medicine ES had therapeutic effect on sexual disorder and immunologic inadequacy in the patients of chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis.

Effects of icariin on cGMP-specific PDE5 and cAMP-specific PDE4 activitiesZhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi. 2004 Jan;84(2):142-5.
AIM: To clarify the mechanism of the therapeutic action of icariin on erectile dysfunction (ED). METHODS: PDE5 was isolated from the human platelet and PDE4 from the rat liver tissue. Icariin and papaverine showed dose-dependent inhibitory effects on PDE5 and PDE4 activities. Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor that may be developed into an oral effective agent for the treatment of ED.
