Background: The incorporation of anti-GD2 antibodies such as ch14.18/SP2/0 into the multimodal treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) patients has improved their outcomes. As studies assessing the long-term outcomes, long-term sequelae, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of this treatment are limited, this retrospective analysis aimed to explore these.

Deciphering compromised speech-in-noise intelligibility in older listeners: the role of cochlear synaptopathy.

Speech intelligibility declines with age and sensorineural hearing damage (SNHL). However, it remains unclear whether cochlear synaptopathy (CS), a recently discovered form of SNHL, significantly contributes to this issue. CS refers to damaged auditory-nerve synapses that innervate the inner hair cells and there is currently no go-to diagnostic test available.

Roles of supporting cells in the maintenance and regeneration of the damaged inner ear: A literature review.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

The inner ear sensory epithelium consists of two major types of cells: hair cells (HCs) and supporting cells (SCs). Critical functions of HCs in the perception of mechanical stimulation and mechanosensory transduction have long been elucidated. SCs are indispensable components of the sensory epithelia, and they maintain the structural integrity and ionic environment of the inner ear.

Protective Effects of Fasudil Against Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity in Zebrafish: An In Vivo Study.

Int J Mol Sci

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Korea University College of Medicine, Ansan Hospital, Ansan 15355, Republic of Korea.

While cisplatin is an effective anti-tumor treatment, it induces ototoxicity through mechanisms involving DNA damage, oxidative stress, and programmed cell death. Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase (ROCK) is essential for numerous cellular processes, including apoptosis regulation. Studies have suggested that ROCK inhibitors could prevent apoptosis and promote regeneration.

Cisplatin is an established component of treatment protocols for various solid malignancies but carries a significant potential for serious adverse effects. Ototoxicity from cisplatin treatment is an important dose-limiting toxicity that manifests as bilateral, progressive, irreversible, dose-dependent sensorineural hearing loss, ear pain, tinnitus, and vestibular dysfunction. Despite the recent approval of sodium thiosulphate for the prevention of cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) in pediatric patients, structured prevention programs are not routinely implemented in most hospitals, and reducing platinum-induced ototoxicity in adults remains an important clinical problem without established treatment options.
