Polyp pathogenesis--a histopathological study in experimental otitis media.

abstract：:The aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora of middle ear exudate (MEE) of 47 consecutive patients with chronic suppurative otitis media were studied using a quantitative bacteriological technique under strictly anaerobic conditions. Specimens from the external auditory canal (EAC) and the nasopharynx (NP) were obtained...

abstract：CONCLUSION:An 18-mer peptide derived from the neurotrophic region of prosaposin (PS-pep) prevents hearing loss and cochlear damage due to transient cochlear ischaemia by activating an anti-apoptotic pathway. PS-pep is a potent candidate molecule for alleviating ischaemia-induced hearing loss. OBJECTIVE:PS-pep was inve...
