Abstract
발기부전 환자에서 홍삼의 효능을 객관적으로 확인하기 위하여 홍삼 복용 전후의 음경혈류 변화를 AVS-Penogram을 이용하여 홍삼이 음경발기 및 음경혈류에 미치는 영향을 활성도 곡선의 유형 변화와 최대활성도치를 분석하여 평가하고, 동시에 주관적인 발기부전의 증상호전 정도를 비교하였다. 활성도 곡선유형은 홍삼 투여군에서 위약 투여군에 비하여 전반적으로 호전 양상을 보였으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었고, 최대활성도치의 증가에서는 홍삼 투여군이 57.9%(l1/19)로 위약 투여군의 22.2%(2/9)에 비하여 유의하게 높은 호전을 보였으며, 주관적인 증상호전에서도 홍삼 투여군이 63.2%(12/19)로 위약 투여군의 33.3%(3/9)에 비하여 유의한 호전을 나타냈다. 약물의 안정성 평가에서는 약물 관련 특이 반응이나 특별한 부작용은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상으로 발기부전 환자에서 홍삼의 투여가 특별한 독성이나 부작용 없이 위약군에 비하여 좋은 치료효과를 보이며, 음경발기와 음경혈류 증가에 양성적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 단독 투여뿐만 아니라 다른 발기부전 치료제와의 병용 요법에 따른 상승효과(synergic effect) 등에 대하여도 인상 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다. The clinical efficacies of Korean Red Ginseng for improving sexual function has been reported only by self-reporting questionnaires.AVS-Penogram is a method evaluating natural penile blood flow changes by Gamma-camera after intravenous injection of Techmetium 99<TEX>$\^$</TEX>m/-RBC and also stimulating by erotic video tape. To more objectively evaluate the efficacies of Korean Red Ginseng for erectile function, we applied AVS-Penogram as a objective diagnostic tool. AVS-Penogram studies were done in 28 patients with erectile dysfunction after administration of Red Ginseng(19) or placebo(9) group. The pattern of AVS-Penogram before medication were normal type in 4, impossible in 2, unstable in 20, delayed in 1, and mixed in 1. The unstable type were the most prevalent observed in 71.4% of all patients. The patterns of AVS-penogram were 2.2. 13.1 in Red Ginseng group, while in placebo group normal 2, unstable 7. After 4 weeks in Red Ginseng group, there were 3 cases of improved penogram findings, while only 1 in placebo group. There were no statistical significancies in the type of penogram changes on both group. But the maximum radioactivity were improved in 11 patients(57.9%) in Red Ginseng group, while 2(22.2%) in placebo group. There were statistical significancies in comparing the maximal radioactivity of penogram on both group. These AVS-Penogram findings shows, encouraging results of by increased penile blood flow Korean Red Ginseng our medication. Further study is more needed to reconfirm these results by more concentrated active formulations of sapanonin St other active ginsenosides. These promising results will lead to develop a new remedy for erectile dysfunction by Korean Red Ginseng
