Assessment of diagnostic approaches to idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and their influence on treatment and outcome.

abstract：CONCLUSION:The Na-K-2Cl cotransporter-1 (NKCCl) may be essential for the maintenance and functioning of the vestibular morphology in mice and it is strongly expressed in human vestibular end organs. OBJECTIVE:NKCCl is a member of the cation-coupled chloride transporter which participates in salt transport and cell vol...
