OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of hypoxia in cholesteatoma progression.
METHODS
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human specimens.
METHODS
Thirteen middle ear cholesteatomas and 10 samples of normal human external ear canal skin were stained immunohistochemically for the presence of
OBJECTIVE
To explore the pathogenetic mechanism of middle ear cholesteatoma, the aim of this study is to detect the expression of Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha in middle ear cholesteatoma and normal external ear canal skin.
METHODS
We used the technology of immunohistochemistry to examine the
External ear canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is an invasive and destructive chronic inflammation based on the uncontrolled proliferation of the keratinocytes with an osteolytic character predominantly present in the inferior part of the auditory canal. EACC is a rare otologic entity and the incidence is
This is a histological and biochemical study of cholesterol in the middle ear in various chronic otitis media syndromes of 22 cholesteatomatous temporal bones and 52 bioptic specimens. Only three of the temporal bones and 11 surgical specimens showed cholesterol crystals, all of which were in the
BACKGROUND
In previous studies, we cited circulatory disorders and hypoxia as etiological factors for the formation of external auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) resulting in angiogenesis. Here, we investigate how the angiogenic factor hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) influences
BACKGROUND
The external auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is characterized by hyperproliferation of the epithelial and subepithelial tissue. Compared to normal meatal skin, strong expression of FGF-2 and VEGF had previously been detected. Many authors reported that FGF-2 acts via VEGF and is
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the expression of Hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) in cholesteatoma and approach the possible role of them in the formation and development of the middle ear cholesteatoma.
METHODS
Immunohistochemical SP method was used
BACKGROUND
Cholesteatoma is considered a benign, gradually expanding and destructive epithelial lesion of the temporal bone. The pathogenesis of different classifications of cholesteatoma is marked by similar underlying cellular and molecular processes. Stepwise explanations of the histopathogenesis
Sensorineural hearing loss is generally felt to be an untreatable medical condition. However, in some cases, prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying condition may reverse the deafness. This article summarizes various treatable forms of sensorineural hearing loss and provides illustrative
BACKGROUND
A cochlear implant is a small electronic device that can provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing. Cochlear implants bypass the damaged hearing systems and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Signals generated by the implant are sent by
