To investigate the role of fibrinolysis in adhesion formation in the middle ear,40 patients(45 ears) with otitis media with exudation (OME) were randomly divided into 3 groups:Dexamethasone(G1),Batroxobin1BU/ml(G2),and Batroxobin 2BU/ml(G3).The results were assessed by tympanotomy and irigation to compare the efficacy of treatment of batroxobin and dexamethasone.31 patients (33 ears) were analyzed for statistical significance.The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by qualitative analysis of symptom and the Hearing Threshold of Air conduction of pure tone audiometry (AHT) at frequencies 0 25~2kHz,and by quantitative analysis of AHT.Cure rates of G1,G2,G3 were 41 7%(5/12),54 5%(6/11),70%(7/10) respectively;G3 was higher than G1 and G2( P 0 05). After treatment AHT of G3 was lower than G2 and G1( P
