水杨酸钠中耳灌注对庆大霉素耳毒性的防护作用

目的 观察水杨酸钠经中耳局部灌注给药对庆大霉素耳毒性的防护作用。方法 24只健康杂色豚鼠均接受圆窗置管术，然后随机分成3组：Ⅰ组为生理盐水对照组；Ⅱ组为庆大霉素组，腹腔注射庆大霉素，经听泡灌注生理盐水；Ⅲ组为庆大霉素加水杨酸钠组，腹腔注射庆大霉素，经听泡灌注水杨酸钠。观察各组给药前后听性脑干反应阈的变化和给药后4周毛细胞损失情况。结果 听泡置管术后ABR反应阈无明显改变；给药后2周和4周，庆大霉素组ABR反应阈较庆大霉素加水杨酸组显著增高（P〈0．01），对照组ABR反应阈无显著变化。耳蜗铺片、毛细胞计数显示庆大霉素组外毛细胞严重缺失，以底回最明显，庆大霉素加水杨酸钠组外毛细胞损失较庆大霉素组轻（P〈0．05）。对照组无明显外毛细胞缺失。结论 水杨酸钠经中耳局部给药途径可减轻庆大霉素所致听功能损害和毛细胞缺失，可在一定程度上有效预防庆大霉素的耳毒性。     

Taurine entry into perilymph of the guinea pig

Taurine is a β-aminosulfonic acid and is a ubiquitous amino acid whose role in the cochlea is not well established. In this study, its entry from blood into perilymph was investigated in the guinea pig as animal model. The penetration rate of [³H]taurine (molecular weight 125) into the perilymph of the scala vestibuli was measured 1 and 2 h after the intravenous infusion of [³H]taurine in nephrectomized animals. Results showed a rate of penetration in perilymph related to plasma at 36 ± 4.7% (n = 5) after 1 h and 43 ± 5.6% (n = 5) after 2 h. Compared to the penetration rate of urea (molecular weight 60) and mannitol (molecular weight 186) reported previously in rats, a passive entry of taurine into perilymph through the blood-perilymph barrier is suggested.

环丙沙星滴耳液对内耳影响的研究

豚鼠中耳（听泡）内滴入０．５％、１％、２％环丙沙星与庆大霉素滴耳液７天或２１天，借助光镜和扫描电镜观察内耳的显微和超微结构变化。结果证明环丙沙星对内耳没有明显的毒性作用。庆大霉素则使耳蜗明显受损，以底回为重，Ｃｏｒｔｉ’ｓ器外毛细胞坏死较多，内毛细胞及支持细胞病变较轻。位觉斑耳石脱落，毛细胞纤毛粘连、脱落。壶腹嵴中央区纤毛也缺失。本实验对客观评价环丙沙星对内耳的作用及临床使用提供了形态学资料。     

The trajectory of the sympathetic nerve fibers to the rat cochlea as revealed by anterograde and retrograde WGA-HRP tracing

Wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate was injected in the unilateral superior cervical ganglion (SCG), and the projection pathways of postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers innervating the cochlea were traced in the rat. The labeled axons advanced along the internal carotid artery (ICA), and a few advanced caudally in the major petrosal nerve (MPN) and entered the facial nerve, while the majority ran rostral to the pterygopalatine ganglion at the point where they crossed the MPN in the carotid canal. The rest of the labeled fibers remained on the surface of the ICA and advanced to the cranial cavity. Most of the labeled fibers along the facial nerve joined the cochlear nerve and finally reached the osseous spiral lamina through the spiral ganglion. Some of the labeled fibers ran along the anterior inferior cerebellar artery from the basilar artery which was previously thought to have been the only pathway. We could not find any labeled fiber on the modiolar artery from anterior inferior cerebellar artery in the cochlea. These observations are consistent with our hypothesis that the sympathetic fibers innervating the neural tissues or related structures follow nerve fibers and meninges as matrices of projection pathways rather than arteries.     

船舶噪声对豚鼠耳蜗微音电位响应曲线的影响

在排除电场干扰伪迹后，耳蜗微音电位响应曲线可以作为反映近全耳蜗电生理功能的一项测试指标。能方便而迅速地完成测试，结果可靠。船舶噪声暴露后，显示耳蜗损伤频带主要在３．１５～８ｋＨｚ范围。这与人噪声性听力损失的特征非常类似。     

耳蜗的扫描电镜观察

为研究柯替氏器的超微结构,用豚鼠、猫及4个月胎儿的耳蜗,在扫描电镜下观察。柯替氏器呈螺旋梯状,围绕在蜗轴周围。蜗尖部的柯替氏器较宽,蜗底部的较窄,其上方的前庭膜由单层扁平上皮组成,上皮表面有微绒毛。紧贴表面的盖膜由原纤维组成。大多数原纤维平行排列,表面与边缘的原纤维多交织成网。柯替氏器中有3排外毛细胞与1排内毛细胞,二者之间有柱细胞头板,外毛细胞上的听毛排列成W形,内毛细胞上的听毛排列成弧形。此外,所有细胞表面均有微绒毛。在轻度噪音刺激后,听毛减少并紊乱,微绒毛也减少或消失。 4月胎儿的柯替氏器有3～4排外毛细胞,其表面为绒球状听毛,后来发育为W形排列。内毛细胞为1排,表面为束状的原始听毛,后变为弧形排列。本文还观察到断裂的柯替氏器中,暴露出外毛细胞的柱状胞体及底部的杯状支持结构。外毛细胞由外指细胞所肩托。外指细胞的指突与外毛细胞均倾斜排列,交错成一定角度。当暴露出外柱细胞时,其胞体上细下粗,表面有传入神经纤维。当外毛细胞、外柱细胞等掀向上方后,可见隧道中纵行的神经纤维束及其分支,即螺旋隧道束与放线隧道纤维,它们系橄榄耳蜗束的传出纤维。     

豚鼠耳蜗微循环的检测

应用生物微球技术,结合耳蜗连续切片,直接定量检测6只正常豚鼠耳蜗血流。结果耳蜗总血流为1.662±0.262μl/min·cochlea,蜗轴、外侧壁、耳蜗隔三处血流,分别为0.955±0.272μl/min、0.654±0.272μl/min和0.053±0.060μl/min。对本实验方法和结果进行了讨论,认为用该方法检测动物的耳蜗总血流和耳蜗局部血流是准确易行的。     

噪声刺激对耳蜗一氧化氮合酶的影响

目的：探讨一氧化氮（ＮＯ）在噪声性聋发病中的作用。方法：用中高频连续稳态噪声制作噪声性聋的动物模型,用ＮＡＤＰＨ－黄递酶组织化学、原位杂效和Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ印迹法,观察噪声刺激对耳蜗一氧化氮合酶（ＮＯＳ）表达的影响。结果：组织化学法显示ＮＯＳ主要分布于内外毛细胞、螺旋神经节细胞和血管纹边缘细胞;原位杂效法发现ＮＯＳｍＲＮＡ在内外毛细胞、螺旋神经节细胞胞浆内均可见阳性染色,但血管纹边缘细胞无阳性染色
