Local Autoinoculation of the Sensitized Organism with Foreign Protein as a Cause of Abnormal Reactions
The skin irritant, xylol, when applied to the ears of sensitized and reinjected rabbits often causes a severe inflammation with the formation of crusts and destruction of tissue. Dry gangrene of the entire ear tip may result (Figs. 1, 2, and 3). The same agent, applied in the same dosage and in the same way, to the ears of (1) normal rabbits, (2) normal rabbits injected once with horse serum (s...
متن کاملMyringotomy in the Junbo mouse model of chronic otitis media alleviates inflammation and cellular hypoxia.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Ventilation of the chronically inflamed middle ear is a key outcome in functional middle ear surgery. Grommets eliminate middle ear effusion, but there is also evidence that they downregulate inflammation. The reason for this is not understood, but there is little to suggest alteration in eustachian tube ventilatory capacity. Previous work has shown that the Junbo mouse mo...
متن کاملOtogenic pneumocephalus secondary to recurrent cholesteatoma and associated temporal bone cerebrospinal fluid leak
A 79-year-old diabetic male was presented to the emergency department with a one day history of a mild frontal headache and watery discharge from his right ear. His past medical history included previous mastoid surgery, performed more than 50 years ago. The procedure was complicated by postoperative intracranial abscess formation which required neurosurgical intervention and unfortunately resu...
متن کاملMouse Middle Ear Ion Homeostasis Channels and Intercellular Junctions
HYPOTHESIS The middle ear contains homeostatic mechanisms that control the movement of ions and fluids similar to those present in the inner ear, and are altered during inflammation. BACKGROUND The normal middle ear cavity is fluid-free and air-filled to allow for effective sound transmission. Within the inner ear, the regulation of fluid and ion movement is essential for normal auditory and ...
متن کاملIncreased and prolonged inflammation and angiogenesis in delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions elicited in the skin of thrombospondin-2--deficient mice.
Angiogenesis and enhanced microvascular permeability are hallmarks of a large number of inflammatory diseases. Although up-regulation of proangiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor and interleukin-8 have been previously reported in inflamed tissue, the biologic role of endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis in inflammation has remained unclear. To investigate the biologic ro...
