Vascular Supply of the Human Spiral Ganglion: Novel Three
www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Publisher Correction OPEN Vascular Supply of the Human Spiral Ganglion: Novel Three- Dimensional Analysis Using Synchrotron Phase-Contrast Imaging and Histology Xueshuang Mei1,2*, Rudolf Glueckert3, Annelies Schrott-Fischer3, Hao Li1, Hanif M. Ladak4,6, Sumit K. Agrawal5,6 & Helge Rask-Andersen1,6* Human spiral ganglion (HSG) cell bodies located in the bony cochlea depend on a rich vascular supply to maintain excitability. These neurons are targeted by cochlear implantation (CI) to treat deafness, and their viability is critical to ensure successful clinical outcomes. The blood supply of the HSG is difcult to study due to its helical structure and encasement in hard bone. The objective of this study was to present the frst three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and analysis of the HSG blood supply using synchrotron radiation phase-contrast imaging (SR-PCI) in combination with histological analyses of archival human cochlear sections. Twenty-six human temporal bones underwent SR-PCI. Data were processed using volume-rendering software, and a representative three-dimensional (3D) model was created to allow visualization of the vascular anatomy. Histologic analysis was used to verify the segmentations. Results revealed that the HSG is supplied by radial vascular twigs which are separate from the rest of the inner ear and encased in bone. Unlike with most organs, the arteries and veins in the human cochlea do not follow the same conduits. There is a dual venous outfow and a modiolar arterial supply. This organization may explain why the HSG may endure even in cases of advanced cochlear pathology. Human inner ear function relies on microcirculation derived from vessels in the internal auditory canal (IAC). -

Characteristic Anatomical Structures of Rat Temporal Bone

A large number of descriptions and atlas of the rat temporal bone have been published, but some detailed anatomy of its surface and inside structures remains to be studied. By focusing on some unique characteristics of the rat temporal bone, the current paper aims to provide more accurate and detailed information on rat temporal bone anatomy in an attempt to complete missing or unclear areas in the existed knowledge. We also hope this paper can lay a solid foundation for experimental rat temporal bone surgeries, and promote information exchange among colleagues, as well as providing useful guidance for novice researchers in the field of hearing research involving rats.

Inner Ear Defects and Hearing Loss in Mice Lacking the Collagen Receptor
Laboratory Investigation (2008) 88, 27–37 & 2008 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/08 $30.00 Inner ear defects and hearing loss in mice lacking the collagen receptor DDR1 Angela M Meyer zum Gottesberge1, Oliver Gross2, Ursula Becker-Lendzian1, Thomas Massing1 and Wolfgang F Vogel3 Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is a tyrosine kinase receptor that is activated by native collagen. The physiological functions of DDR1 include matrix homeostasis and cell growth, adhesion, branching, and migration, but the specific role of DDR1 in the development and function of the inner ear has not been analyzed. Here, we show that deletion of the DDR1 gene in mouse is associated with a severe decrease in auditory function and substantial structural alterations in the inner ear. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated DDR1 expression in several locations in the cochlea, mostly associated with basement membrane and fibrillar collagens; in particular in basal cells of the stria vascularis, type III fibrocytes, and cells lining the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti. In the stria vascularis, loss of DDR1 function resulted in altered morphology of the basal cells and accumulation of electron-dense matrix within the strial epithelial layer in conjunction with a focal and progressive deterioration of strial cells. Cell types in proximity to the basilar membrane, such as Claudius’, inner and outer sulcus cells, also showed marked ultrastructural alterations. Changes in the organ of Corti, such as deterioration of the supporting cells, specifically the outer hair cells, Deiters’, Hensen’s and bordering cells, are likely to interfere with mechanical properties of the organ and may be responsible for the hearing loss observed in DDR1-null mice. -
