内耳结构异常患者的人工耳蜗植入术

目的探讨对内耳结构异常患者行人工耳蜗植入的方法并评估其术后效果。方法回顾性分析2000年1月~2010年5月行人工耳蜗植入术的24例内耳结构异常患者的临床资料,包括耳蜗骨化2例、Waarden-burg综合征Ⅱ型8例、Mondini畸形12例、共同腔畸形1例、半规管缺如1例;随机选择30例内耳结构正常的相同年龄段接受了人工耳蜗植入的极重度感音性聋患者作为对照组;分析并比较两组患者的术前听力和影像学资料以及手术植入方法和术后听觉言语康复情况。结果 1例共同腔畸形和2例Mondini畸形患者术中出现井喷,另有10例Mondini畸形、2例Waardenburg综合征Ⅱ型病例在耳蜗钻孔后见外淋巴液搏动性涌出,经抬高头位降低液压并以筋膜粒严密封堵开窗口等处理完成电极植入;2例耳蜗骨化者经扩大开窗范围并剔除骨化组织后分别植入8个和12个电极;其余病例均经常规方法完成电极植入。内耳结构异常组患者人工耳蜗植入术后均获得听觉,所有患者均未出现严重并发症。术后6个月内耳结构异常组啭音声场测听平均听阈35.4±4.9 dB HL,闭合式词表言语识别率平均为75.18%±3.1%,开放式词表言语识别率平均为70.32%±2.5%;对照组上述三项结果分别为31.4±5.5 dB HL、81.63%±3.7%、76.77%±5.4%,两组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论对内耳结构异常的极重度感音性聋患者行人工耳蜗植入安全有效,但针对不同的内耳畸形需采取不同的处理方法。     

不完全分隔内耳畸形患者人工耳蜗植入研究进展

不完全分隔内耳畸形作为内耳畸形的一种,是导致重度、极重度感音神经性聋的病因之一.其曾被认为是人工耳蜗植入手术的禁忌症.但是随着相关研究的进展,人工耳蜗植入已成为其主要治疗手段.本文就不完全分隔内耳畸形的概念、分类、及其所致的重度、极重度感音神经性聋患者人工耳蜗植入手术的相关研究进展作一综述.     

Mondini内耳畸形患者的多通道人工耳蜗植入

目的探讨Mondini内耳畸形患者人工耳蜗植入方法及手术前后听力评估和术后言语康复效果。方法回顾性分析经乳突面隐窝进路行人工耳蜗植入的19例Mondini内耳畸形患者的临床资料，并将其中10例患者植入后听力情况与10例耳蜗发育正常的人工耳蜗植入者(对照组)进行比较。结果19例Mondini内耳畸形患者中，32个电极全部植入者12例，28个电极植入者2例，26个电极植入者2例，22个电极植入者2例，20个电极植入者l例；术中7例发生多量脑脊液流出(ozze)，5例发生脑脊液井喷(gusher)，7例无脑脊液外溢。两组患者术后听力接近，均在30～40dB HL左右，无严重并发症发生，17例Mondini内耳畸形患者术后听觉言语康复效果与耳蜗发育正常者接近，2例稍差。长期效果有待进一步观察。结论人工耳蜗植入适用于Mondini内耳畸形患者，但手术前应进行全面的听力学及影像学评估。     

Cochlear Implants in Systemic Autoimmune Vasculitis Syndromes

The concept that autoimmunity may damage the inner ear was introduced by McCabe in 1979. Audiovestibular symptoms may occur in isolation or may be mediated by vasculitis in patients affected by systemic autoimmune disorders. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is typical in Cogan's syndrome but occurs less frequently in Beçhet's syndrome and in systemic necrotizing vasculitides. Patients affected by immune-mediated profound SNHL represent ideal candidates for cochlear implantation as these patients become deaf after years of hearing. The disease itself and the medication taken may, however, influence the prognosis of cochlear implantation in these patients. We retrospectively evaluated the pre- and intraoperative findings as well as the postoperative course and performance of a group of five patients affected by a systemic vasculitis syndrome who received a cochlear implant. Implantation was successful in all patients, no complications occurred and excellent postoperative speech perception was achieved. We conclude that cochlear implantation in patients affected by immune-mediated inner ear disorders is effective although the long-term results remain to be evaluated.     

内耳结构异常的语前聋人工耳蜗植入儿童听觉语言康复效果评价

目的评价不同类型内耳结构异常的语前聋儿童人工耳蜗植入术后听觉语言康复效果。方法选取人工耳蜗植入儿童10例(12耳),其中内耳结构发育正常的3例,前庭导水管扩大3例,Mondini畸形1例,蜗孔狭窄1例,内听道狭窄听神经纤细2例,分别采用电刺激诱发听神经复合动作电位(electrically evoked compound action potential,eCAP)、助听听阈、听障儿童听觉能力、语言能力评估标准及方法,从听神经客观电生理水平、听察觉阈、听觉辨识与理解能力以及语言能力4方面评价患儿的康复效果。结果①客观电生理:单纯前庭导水管扩大患者听神经对电刺激敏感度与内耳发育正常者相似,Mondini畸形患者比内耳发育正常者略高,蜗孔狭窄及听神经纤细患者听神经敏感度较差;②听察觉阈:与内耳结构正常及轻度畸形(Mondini畸形)患者相比,蜗孔狭窄及听神经纤细患者听察觉阈偏高,高频比低频阈值低;③听觉辨识与理解能力:在安静环境近距离交谈情境下,单纯前庭导水管扩大、Mondini畸形及蜗孔狭窄患者对熟悉语词和短句的辨识与理解能力与内耳发育正常者无差别,听神经纤细患者得分较低;④语言能力:单纯前庭导水管扩大、Mondini畸形患者与内耳发育正常者无差别,蜗孔狭窄患者的语言交往与表达能力落后于内耳发育正常者,听神经纤细患者在语法、理解、交往、表达4个维度均落后于内耳发育正常者。结论语前聋儿童人工耳蜗植入术后听觉语言康复效果需要使用多种方法综合评价。Mondini畸形患者给予足够电刺激量后,其听觉语言能力可达到内耳发育正常者水平。蜗孔狭窄、听神经纤细等严重内耳畸形患者,人工耳蜗对其听觉语言能力发展有一定帮助,家长需要建立合理期望值并坚持长期康复。     

语前聋患儿一侧人工耳蜗植入对侧佩戴助听器聆听效果分析

目的：分析语前聋患儿一侧人工耳蜗植入（cochlear implant ,CI）对侧佩戴助听器模式下的聆听效果,以及非植入耳残余听力对聆听效果的影响。方法选取一侧人工耳蜗植入对侧佩戴助听器的语前聋患儿18例,分别测试其在单侧人工耳蜗植入、一侧人工耳蜗植入对侧佩戴助听器的双耳聆听模式（ bimodal fitting ,BIM ）安静环境及稳态噪声环境下标准中文短句、双音节词、单音节词的识别率。结果安静状态下本组患儿CI、BIM 模式单音节词言语识别率分别为82．67％±12．23％、83．61％±12．22％,双音节词分别为76．00％±16．13％、78．11％±14．84％,标准中文短句分别为60．11％±17．18％、65．43％±16．76％;信噪比10 dB环境下CI、BIM 助听模式患儿单音节词识别率分别为75．50％±14．12％、76．83％±14．15％,双音节词分别为68．22％±17．15％、77．18％±16．83％,标准中文短句分别为49．39％±19．26％、56．33％±19．55％,除两种模式下单音节词外其余言语识别率差异均有统计学意义（P＜0．05）,且非植入耳250、500 Hz助听听阈与BIM 模式言语识别率呈负相关。结论语前聋患儿双耳双模式聆听时有一定优势,这种优势可能主要来自低频残余听力。     

Dynamics of Inner Ear Pressure Change Caused by Intracranial Pressure Manipulation in the Guinea Pig

Previous studies have shown that pressure changes in the cerebrospinal fluid compartment are transmitted to the inner ear. The main route for pressure transfer is the cochlear aqueduct, about which little is known with regard to its dynamic properties. In the present study, sudden intracranial pressure changes (square waves and short pulses) were created in guinea pigs by means of an electronically controlled infusion system. Simultaneously with pressure manipulation, hydrostatic pressure was monitored in both the peridural space and the perilymphatic compartment of the inner ear. The onset of an inner ear pressure change following manipulation of intracranial pressure was immediate. Inner ear pressure increased or decreased without a measurable time lag, and equalized within a few seconds. During square wave intracranial pressure manipulation, inner ear pressure equalized somewhat more slowly after pressure increase than after pressure decrease. To a first approximation, the pressure equalization curves for the inner ear could be fitted with a single exponential function, rising or falling with a time constant in the range 1-3 s, and the system can be described as a low-pass filter composed of a constant compliance and a constant flow resistance. Detailed analysis, however, showed small deviations from a purely exponential recovery process. With a more complicated (non-linear) model, almost perfect fits to the inner ear pressure equalization curves could be obtained. This non-linearity may be a consequence of the dependence of the compliance and/or flow resistance on pressure.     

影像学评估对耳蜗骨化患者人工耳蜗植入手术及术后效果的影响

目的探讨影像学评估对耳蜗骨化患者人工耳蜗植入手术及术后效果的影响。方法回顾性研究解放军总医院2009～2012年间7例耳蜗骨化的人工耳蜗植入患者的影像学检查结果、手术方式等资料,总结分析其术后康复效果。结果术前颞骨高分辨率CT和MRI检查,特别是耳蜗MRI仿真内窥镜可判断耳蜗骨化范围及程度。植入时1例患者因一侧耳蜗完全骨化而失败,另一侧植入顺利,其余6例均手术顺利,无手术并发症。人工耳蜗开机后7例患者均有听觉反应,但CAP）及SIR分级不同（因病例数量少未做统计学分析）。结论耳蜗骨化患者的术前影像学评估需将颞骨高分辨率CT和MRI结合,MRI仿真内窥镜重建可清晰显示耳蜗病变程度及范围。对于耳蜗轻度骨化患者,经典面神经隐窝入路一圆窗龛前方开窗术可顺利植入电极。人工耳蜗植入术可以作为伴有耳蜗骨化的极重度感音性聋患者的治疗手段,术后康复效果影响因素较多。     

Use of Mammalian Inner Ear Antigens for the Diagnosis of Autoimmune Sudden Loss of Vestibular Function

It has been postulated that bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may be the result of an ongoing autoimmune process against the inner ear and a pattern of progressive bilateral SNHL linked to an autoimmune inner ear disorder has been reported. Various attempts have been made to develop an assay to confirm the diagnosis of autoimmune inner ear disease. In this study we used a Western blot assay to determine the presence of IgG antibodies directed against a PØ antigen (30 kDa) of the guinea pig in the sera of patients affected by sudden loss of vestibular function (SLVF). Ten patients affected by vestibular neuritis were enrolled: eight with unilateral vestibular loss and two with sequential bilateral impairment. We also tested nine patients with sudden unilateral hearing loss, five with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and six normal subjects. In the present study only one patient, a woman affected by bilateral vestibular impairment, had IgG antibodies against the PØ protein. Our results indicate either that the antigen PØ marker for autoimmune unilateral SLVF or that our patients did not have an immunological basis for their disease. However, we can suggest that bilateral impairment of vestibular function and bilateral progressive SNHL are more likely to be immune-mediated disorders and that PØ could be a valid marker for these diseases. As bilateral vestibular neuritis is an uncommon disease, a multicentre study is required to confirm our suggestions.     

内耳及相关解剖结构的教学方法和经验

我科自2015年开始举办颞骨解剖及耳显微外科手术培训班,4年来累计已培训各级、各类学员273人次。颞骨自身结构复杂,学习难度较大,加之内耳深居内部,体积微小,日常工作中接触的机会较少,使得内耳及相关结构成为学习难点中的难点,我们在历届颞骨解剖培训班中都要花费较多的学时讲解相关知识。本文总结了我们对内耳及相关结构的理解和具体的辅助教学方法,这些方法简便易行,具体而直观,降低了学员在颞骨解剖培训中学习内耳及相关解剖结构的难度。     

Change of Guinea Pig Inner Ear Pressure by Square Wave Middle Ear Cavity Pressure Variation

The inner ear fluid pressure of guinea pigs was measured during square wave middle ear cavity pressure variation. Time constants were derived for the slopes of the inner ear pressure recovery curves after middle ear pressure change. A "single exponential" function did not fit well and therefore more complicated functions were used for this purpose. For middle ear pressure increasing from zero to a few centimetres of water, returning to zero again, decreasing from zero to minus a few centimetres of water and then returning to zero again, time constants for the inner ear pressure recovery curves were on average 15.0, 8.6, 2.5 and 2.5 s, respectively. The results could not be described using a linear model with constant window membrane compliance and cochlear aqueduct flow resistance. A possible explanation for the large difference in time constants for positive or negative middle ear pressure changes is a dependence on aqueduct flow resistance or round window membrane position.

Changes in Vestibular Symptoms and Function After Cochlear Implantation: Relevant Factors and Correlations With Residual Hearing

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate vestibular function loss after cochlear implantation (CI) and the relationship between vestibular function and hearing changes.MethodsSeventy-five patients with CI were enrolled and divided into those with normal preoperative caloric function (group I) and those with a normal preoperative waveform in cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (c-VEMP) testing (group II). The relationship between hearing and changes in the vestibular system was analyzed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.ResultsIn group I, unilateral weakness on the implanted side was detected in five (7.7%) and eight (12.3%) patients at 3 and 6 months post-CI, respectively. By 3 months post-CI, the total slow-phase velocity (SPV; warm and cold stimulations) was significantly different between the implanted and non-implanted sides (P=0.011), and the shift in total SPV from pre- to post-CI was significantly correlated with the average hearing threshold at 6 months post-CI. In group II, an abnormal c-VEMP was detected on the implanted side in six patients (16.2%) at 3 months post-CI, and in six patients (16.2%) at 6 months post-CI. Significant changes were noticed in the P1 and N1 amplitude at 3 months postCI (P=0.027 and P=0.019, respectively).ConclusionVestibular function and residual hearing function should be afforded equal and simultaneous consideration in terms of preservation.     

Effect of Stimulus Duration on Stapedius Reflex Threshold in Electrical Stimulation via Cochlear Implant

The effect of stimulus duration on the threshold of the contralateral stapedius reflex was investigated in patients supplied with a Vienna cochlear implant (analog stimulation via CI) and compared to results of a normal-hearing reference group in case of acoustic stimulation. Changes in reflex threshold were determined at four frequencies (125, 500,1000 and 2000 Hz in case of electrostimulation and at 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz for acoustic stimulation) and for five durations (30,50, 100, 300 and 500 ms). The comparison of the two stimulation modes was accomplished by using the same instrumentation and procedure. Reflex threshold was evaluated according to an objective criterion based on the individual noise distribution of recordings without reflex and by subjective judgement. For both stimulation modes a strong effect of stimulus duration on reflex threshold was observed (p < 0.001). The amount of temporal integration reflected by the threshold difference between 500 and 50 ms was approximately 2-AdB for electrical stimulation via CI and 6 dB for acoustic stimulation in normal-hearing individuals. In case of electrostimulation, the reflex threshold for stimuli of 30 ms was most often above the limit of uncomfortable loudness sensation; the increase in reflex threshold for acoustic stimulation between 500 and 30 ms was approximately 14 dB. There was no evidence of frequency effect on reflex threshold nor an interaction between frequency and stimulus duration for either stimulation mode.
