纪录片《药物依赖》 第15期：药物组合的神奇疗效（在线收听）

These are actually penile

组织浴槽中放置的

blood vessels that we have in a tissue bath.

是真的阴茎血管组织

Think of this as the brain.

把这个看作是大脑

This is the brain and the spinal cord.

这是大脑和脊髓

When you're becoming aroused,

当你性唤起时

your brain switches on.

大脑就会激活

We can mimic this by switching on

我们可以通过打开这些等同于

the equivalent of the central nervous system in the brain.

中枢神经系统的开关来模拟这一过程

It sends electricity down

它将电流传递到

to the tissue bath and across the tissues,

组织浴槽中 穿过组织

and when we pass an electric current across these

当电流通过小片的阴茎组织时

small pieces of penile tissue, they relax and

它们就会松弛下来

ultimately that's what happens during penile erection.

事实上 这就是阴茎勃起的过程

Relaxed penile blood vessels mean

阴茎血管松弛

more blood flow to the penis, and so an erection.

意味着更过血液流向阴茎 导致勃起

What Chris did was take penile blood vessels

克里斯从阳痿病人体内

from impotent men,

提取了阴茎血管组织

vessels that didn't respond

当大脑开关被打开的时候

when he flicked the brain switch,

血管组织并没有产生反应

and then added UK 92480 to the tissue bath.

随后将UK92480加入组织浴槽中

What was most amazing about this study

最不可思议的事情发生了

was that we saw a restoration of erectile response.

阴茎组织重新出现了勃起反应

It's very rare in any tissue preparation

在任何组织标本里 由功能障碍

to convert dysfunctional to normal function, and so now

到功能正常的转变都是很罕见的

we were really onto something

因此我们现在所经历的这一切

that could only be described as special.

只能用一个词来形容 特别
