    (2015) Oz, Isilay; Erbek, Seyra Hatice; Alp, Gulfem; Hizal, Evren; Ozluoglu, Levent Naci; 0000-0002-8453-6069; 0000-0002-7380-4566; 0000-0002-2150-0237; 0000-0002-9699-6783; 25428817; AAJ-2445-2021; AAJ-1452-2021; AAI-8020-2021; A-5853-2018
    Conclusion: The pure-tone audiometry results following glycerol administration indicated a positive effect on cochlear endolymphatic hydrops. Glycerol cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) tests are a useful means of diagnosing saccular hydrops. There was no correlation between cVEMP and audiological results. Objective: To document the changes in pure-tone hearing outcomes and cVEMPs in patients with Meniere's disease (MD) and 10 healthy volunteers before and after oral administration of glycerol. Methods: Twenty-nine study group subjects were chosen with complaints of vertigo. cVEMP testing and pure-tone hearing level testing were performed before and at 1, 2, and 3 h after administration of glycerol. Results: The means of the latencies, amplitudes, and difference ratio in 20 normal subject ears were determined. Based on these values, 9/29 MD-affected (MDA) ears (31%) had a unilaterally absent cVEMP. Compared with difference ratio values of the control groups there were significant differences in both latencies and amplitudes in MDA ears after glycerol administration. Before glycerol administration, there were significant differences between control and MDA ears on mean values of pure-tone hearing outcomes. Twenty patients in the MDA group showed significant pure-tone hearing outcomes after glycerol administration.

    FCN2 c.772G > T Polymorphism Is Associated With Chronic Adenoiditis And/Or Tonsillitis, But Not-4 A > G and-602 G > A

    Objective: Ficolins are complement activating peptides that play a role in the initial host defense against infectious pathogens. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ficolin 2 gene (FCN2) and chronic adenotonsillitis in pediatric cases. Study Design: Case-control study. Methods: A total of 101 pediatric patients diagnosed with chronic adenotonsillitis and 100 healthy children were enrolled in the study. Genotypes of FCN2 promoter SNPs -602 G>A and -4 A>G, and the exonic SNP c.772G>T were determined by light SNP assay after realtime PCR analysis using genomic DNA samples obtained from peripheral blood samples of all participants. Results: Of the 101 chronic tonsillitis patients, 38 were girls and 63 were boys; the mean age was 5.2 +/- 2.3 years. The c.772G>T SNP frequency was significantly higher in chronic adenotonsillitis cases compared to the control group (p = 0.00); however, no significant difference was determined at positions -602 G>A or -4 A>G (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The FCN2 c.772G>T genotype appears to be associated with predisposition to chronic adenotonsillitis in the pediatric age group. This nucleotide change is likely to influence the level of gene expression and contribute to the development of disease. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Correlation between Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials and Disease Progression in Meniere's Disease
    (2019) Kharkheli, Eka; Japaridze, S.; Kevanishvili, Zuriko; Oz, Isilay; Ozluoglu, Levent Naci; 31390639
    Objective: To assess the relationship between ocular (oVEMPs) and cervical (cVEMPs) vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and audiometrically determined clinical stage in Meniere's disease (MD). Methods: Thirty-four unilateral MD patients and 30 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Pure-tone hearing levels, oVEMPs, cVEMPs, and videonystagmography results were analyzed and compared between the groups. Results: Both oVEMPs and cVEMPs were highly reproducible in the control group. At the early stages of MD, cVEMPs were particularly disturbed, while at the advanced stages both oVEMPs and cVEMPs were altered pathologically. In the study group, oVEMP and cVEMP amplitudes and interaural amplitude difference (IAD) statistically differed from those in the control sample. oVEMPs were absent in 7.7% of stage III and in 44.5% of stage IV MD patients, while cVEMPs were absent in 15.4% of stage III and in 54.5% of stage IV MD patients, respectively. In stage III and IV MD patients in whom oVEMPs and cVEMPs were obtained, IADs were increased. Caloric asymmetry was found in 64.7% of MD patients. Caloric weakness was more prominent in cases with advanced MD. Conclusion: VEMPs can be used for objective validation of the stage of MD.

    Effects of Glycerol Test on Resonance Frequency in Patients with Meniere's Disease
    (2019) Oz, Isilay; Hizal, Evren; Cam, Osman Halit; Ozluoglu, Levent Naci; 31715604
    Objective: To evaluate resonance frequency (RF) values via dehydration effects in the inner ear caused by the glycerol test, which is used as a diagnostic method for Meniere's disease (MD). Methods: Twenty adult patients with unilateral MD were included in the study. Before, and then at 1, 2, and 3 h after administration of glycerol (1 g/kg), pure-tone hearing levels (125-8,000 kHz) and multifrequency tympanometry tests were performed. As a control, the RF values of the ears of 25 healthy subjects (i.e., 50 ears) were compared to the affected and unaffected ears in the 20 MD patients. Results: There was a significant difference between the RF values of affected and healthy ears before glycerol administration (p = 0.047). The RF values before and after glycerol administration into affected ears were compared. The average RF values decreased significantly from 748.0 +/- 402.1 to 808.0 +/- 410.1 Hz at 1 h after glycerol intake, and this value increased during the subsequent hours. There were no statistically significant differences between the pure-tone levels before and 1 h after glycerol administration, but a significant decrease was observed at 3 h. Conclusion: We suggest that MD has different inner-ear dynamics and normal RF values when compared to healthy ears. Furthermore, decreased inner ear pressure causes reduction of the mass effect and a stiffening of the annular ligament. We conclude that pre- and post-RF tests should be added to the test battery for diagnosis of MD.
