Prediction of hearing outcomes in chronic otitis media patients underwent tympanoplasty using ossiculoplasty outcome parameter staging or middle ear risk indices.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose
Ossiculoplasty outcome parameter staging (OOPS) and middle ear risk index (MERI) are the most commonly used indices for predicting prognosis of patients with chronic otitis media (COM). This study aimed to verify the efficiency of OOPS and MERI scores in predicting outcomes of patients with COM who underwent tympanoplasty.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who underwent tympanoplasty (n = 526). OOPS, and MERI scores were collected. Hearing data were measured 1 day preoperatively, and 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Operation success was defined according to the Korean Society of Otology guidelines.Results
For calculation of success, the ROC values of MERI were 0.551 at 12 months. ROC values of OOPS were 0.637 at 12 months. There were no significant differences in hearing variables among the three groups according to MERI. There were significantly favorable outcomes in hearing variables in the low-risk group in OOPS. The mean OOPS score was greater in patients with success than those with non-success. Otorrhea, ossicle status, and status of mucosa as variables in both indices were associated with success. The type of mastoidectomy as a variable in OOPS alone was associated with success. Absence of hypertension, presence of ossiculoplasty, and use of incus as ossiculoplasty material were associated with poor success rate.Conclusion
Compared with MERI, the OOPS index was more closely associated with the hearing outcomes, which may be due to the extent of inflammation in the OOPS index.

Project description:Objective: Otitis media is known to alter expression of cytokine and other genes in the mouse middle ear and inner ear. However, whole mouse genome studies of gene expression in otitis media have not previously been undertaken. Ninety-nine percent of mouse genes are shared in the human, so these studies are relevant to the human condition. Methods: To assess inflammation-driven processes in the mouse ear, gene chip analyses were conducted on mice treated with trans-tympanic heat-killed Hemophilus influenza using untreated mice as controls. Middle and inner ear tissues were separately harvested at 6 hours, RNA extracted, and samples for each treatment processed on the Affymetrix 430 2.0 Gene Chip for expression of its 34,000 genes. Results: Statistical analysis of gene expression compared to control mice showed significant alteration of gene expression in 2,355 genes, 11% of the genes tested and 8% of the mouse genome. Significant middle and inner ear upregulation (fold change >1.5, p<0.05) was seen in 1,081 and 599 genes respectively. Significant middle and inner ear downregulation (fold change <0.67, p<0.05) was seen in 978 and 287 genes respectively. While otitis media is widely believed to be an exclusively middle ear process with little impact on the inner ear, the inner ear changes noted in this study were numerous and discrete from the middle ear responses. This suggests that the inner ear does indeed respond to otitis media and that its response is a distinctive process. Numerous new genes, previously not studied, are found to be affected by inflammation in the ear. Conclusion: Whole genome analysis via gene chip allows simultaneous examination of expression of hundreds of gene families influenced by inflammation in the middle ear. Discovery of new gene families affected by inflammation may lead to new approaches to the study and treatment of otitis media. There are 8 control samples and 9 samples trans-tympanically injected with H flu 10e9 for 6 hours. Each sample is from a single animal.

Project description:ObjectiveTo compare levels of middle ear (ME) MUC5AC expression in patients with otitis media (OM) with patients without OM. Mucin gene 5AC has been identified as a major secretory mucin in the ME and is fundamentally important in the development of ME mucoid effusions, hearing loss and also provides ME mucosal protection and bacterial clearance.DesignCase control.SettingTertiary, academic, pediatric otolaryngology practice.PatientsPatients 9 months to 7 years old undergoing routine tympanostomy tube (TT) insertion for recurrent otitis media (RecOM) or chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) were compared with control patients without a history of OM undergoing cochlear implantation.MethodsDuring routine TT placement or cochlear implantation, a 1-mm biopsy sample of the ME epithelium was obtained. RNA was extracted, and real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify levels of MUC5AC expression.ResultsTwenty-three patients with OM (12 with RecOM and with 11 COME) were evaluated using 5 controls. Mean age was not different between groups. In the RecOM group, mean expression of MUC5AC was 25.92 times greater than in controls. In the COME group, the mean expression was 155.40 times greater than in controls.ConclusionsLevels of MUC5AC expression in the human ME are significantly increased in patients with RecOM and COME compared with controls. This study demonstrates MUC5AC gene changes in patients with OM and highlights the need for greater understanding of the molecular responses in OM; particularly that of mucin. A thorough exploration of these factors will provide opportunities to develop novel interventions for the extremely common problem of OM.

Project description:Background Research on the factors affecting the functional outcome of tympanoplasty in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is limited. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors of hearing outcome in CSOM patients following tympanoplasty. The multivariate logistic regression analysis is used to evaluate the influence of demographic, audiological, clinical and disease factors on the postoperative prognosis of CSOM. Methods A total of 179 CSOM patients who received surgery between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively included. The inclusion criteria are mainly based on clinical classification of otitis media and surgical classification guidelines [2012]. These patients were divided into an effective group (n=132) and a non-effective group (n=47) according to their postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) value. Multivariate analysis was performed according to the pure tone hearing results 1 week before operation and 4 weeks after operation. Results The type of preoperative hearing impairment, middle ear cholesteatoma, ossicular chain status, tympanic perforation site, repair material, tympanum sclerosis, and surgical methods were significantly different between the effective and non-effective groups (all P<0.01). The speech reception threshold (SRT) (36.88±15.54 vs. 27.68±13.75, P<0.001) and ABG (18.53±9.30 vs. 10.89±5.07, P<0.001) values were markedly reduced after surgery in the effective group but not in the non-effective group. Furthermore, the postoperative decreases in the SRT (9.20±9.69 vs. 2.021±7.34, P<0.001) and ABG (7.64±8.57 vs. 0.45±7.322, P<0.001) values were considerably higher in the effective group than the non-effective group. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, we found that the type of preoperative hearing impairment [P=0.031; odds ratio (OR) =2.378], ossicular chain status (P=0.002; OR =4.430). Conclusions Our research shows that the curative effect of conductive deafness before operation is 2.378 times better than that of mixed deafness, the curative effect of complete and unfixed ossicular chain before operation is 1.080 times better than that of interrupted ossicular chain, and the curative effect of complete ossicular chain but fixed ossicular chain is 4.430 times better than that of interrupted ossicular chain. Our findings may help to predict the postoperative prognosis of patients, thus facilitating the development of corresponding treatment strategies.

Project description:BackgroundProteins found in middle ear effusion play crucial roles in the physiological and pathological processes of otitis media with effusion (OME), influencing the etiology and clinical characteristics of this disease. The qualitative and quantitative composition of these proteins depending on the underlying pathogenesis of middle ear effusion. Understanding their physiological and pathological functions is of great importance.MethodsWe collected samples from 19 volunteers diagnosed with OME. After offline separation using high-pH reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), the pooled sample was subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis to obtain a comprehensive profile of the OME proteome. Functional analysis was performed using Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) annotations. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) technology was utilized to analyze samples and fix whether the OME proteome could replicate the pathophysiological features associated with this disease. We conducted a differential proteomic analysis between patients with simple OME and patients who had received radiotherapy. The radiotherapy-reduced group was further divided into two subgroups: nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and other types of carcinoma. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) technology was used for validation of 36 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).ResultsA number of 732 proteins were identified in the OME proteome database. Among them, 527 proteins were quantified using peak intensity-based semi-quantification (iBAQ), covering a wide dynamic range of approximately 8 orders of magnitude. Based on the functional analysis, we proposed a hypothetical mechanism of OME.ConclusionThis study managed to put up an inclusive analysis of the OME proteome, establishing the first human OME proteome database. We focused on differential proteomic analysis among different groups to gain a more comprehensive concept of the OME proteome and search for meaningful biomarkers.
