Objective To study the indications ,surgical techniques of cochlear implantation in bilateral severe sensorineural hearing loss patients with otitis media with effusion .Methods Retrospective study of the data was col-lected from 30 bilateeral severe sensorineural hearing loss patients receiving cochlear implantation .CI was performed with round window insertion in 30 patients with otitis media with effusion .Results One stage operations of CI with round window insertion were carried out for 30 patients with otitis media with effusion .All electrodes were implan-ted successfully ,in which the CI went normally and electrode array were protected well .All implant devices had worked normally and all patients had performed well during an average of 1~3 years follow -up .Conclusion Bilat-eral severe sensorineural hearing loss patients with otitis media with effusion could be performed cochlear implanta-tion with round window insertion in one stage ,and it was safe and effective .

Objective To assessment the effect of autologous mastoid cortical bone to cover the mastoidetomy defect via transmastoid and posterior tympanotomy approach surgical technique during cochlear implantation in a ‐dults .Methods A total of 58 adults patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss accepted cochlear implantation from January 2010 and June 2014 ,which were using autologous mastoid cortical bone to cover the mastoidetomy de‐fect via transmastoid and posterior tympanotomy approach surgical technique .By observing postoperation complica‐tion the effect of surgery was evaluated .ABR were obtained for each patients at first ,third and sixth month after op‐eration .The patients which were not using autologous mastoid cortical bone to cover the mastoidetomy defect via transmastoid and posterior tympanotomy proach surgical technique acted as control group .Results No depression was found in the postauricuhtr site .None of the patients had experienced any immediate or delayed postoperative in ‐fection complication such as wound infection ,post - auricular abscess ,acute otitis media ,chronic otitis media ,in‐tracranial complication and necrotic of cortical bone .Autologous cortical bone cap had grew together with remnant cortical bone in all cochlear implantation patients .All implanted processor were in a good position ,all patients had good results after turning on the implant .The ABR thresholds were elevated about 70 dB compare to pre - operation values(P< 0 .05) .There was no significant difference compare to control group (P> 0 .05) .Conclusion The tech‐nique of autologous mastoid cortical bone to cover the mastoidetomy defect in cochlear implantation surgery can pre ‐vent depression of the postauricuhtr site ,remain stability of the implanted processor ,and have a good aided hearing thresholds after operation .

With redox-sensitive fluorescene probes DCFH-DA and DHR123, the formation of cytosolic and intramitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside immature rat cerebellar granule cells during the apoptosis induced by nitric oxide donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-pennicillamine (SNAP) was monitored by laser confocal scanning microscopy. The cytosolic and intramitochondrial ROS increase significantly after 0.5 mmol/L SNAP treatment for 1 h. Pre-treatment with the nitric oxide scavenger hemoglobin can effectively inhibit the formation of cytosolic and intrarnitochondrial ROS and protect neurons from apoptosis. Adding glutathione can also protect neurons from apoptosis, and the cytotoxity of nitric oxide increases significantly while the synthesis of glutathione is inhibited. The results indicated that ROS might be involved in NO-induced apoptosis in neural cells and glutathione might be the endogenesis antioxidant to protect neurons from oxidative injury.

Objective To investigate the results of the language rehabilitation through the evaluation of the language comprehension of 75 cases of severe to profound pre -lingually deaf adolescents with cochlear implants . Methods Using evaluation criteria and methods on hearing and speech ability in deafened childrenas a test mate-rial ,and analyzed the outcome of the language comprehension test .Results The comprehension ability of entire pa-tients increased significantly as time went by .The entire comprehension ability was 0 .75y ,1 .45y ,2 .23y ,3 .08y before operations ,and 3 ,6 ,12 months after operations .The younger ,the more significant the improvements .There was no significant difference in rehabilitation outcomes in genders and wearing no hearing aids .Conclusion Cochlear implants can improve the comprehension ability of pre -lingual deaf adolescents ,and the longer they use implants , the better the results .If being implanted at younger age ,the improvement will be more significant .Patients who were beyond the best age were advised to get implant as soon as possible .
