Pharmacokinetic Considerations of Local Drug Delivery to the Inner Ear by Round Window Application
Although there is increasing interest in the local delivery of drugs to the inner ear by applying them to the round window (RW) membrane, most drug application protocols have been empiricallybased. As a result, consequences of changes in delivery method, applied drug concentration or even small alterations in treatment protocols have been difficult to predict. Since direct measurements of drug ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the translocation mechanism of PLGA nanoparticles across round window membrane into the inner ear: a guideline for inner ear drug delivery based on nanomedicine
Background The round window membrane (RWM) functions as the primary biological barrier for therapeutic agents in the inner ear via local application. Previous studies on inner ear nano-drug delivery systems mostly focused on their pharmacokinetics and distribution in the inner ear, but seldom on the interaction with the RWM. Clarifying the transport mechanism of nanoparticulate carriers across ...
متن کاملRound-window anatomical considerations in intratympanic drug therapy for inner-ear diseases.
Our aim was to elucidate the importance of anatomical aspects in planning local therapies for inner-ear diseases. The study undertakes the anatomical evaluation, from a surgical-approach perspective, of the relationship between the false and true round-window membranes. As our design, we chose a human temporal bone dissection study, for which we used 20 fresh temporal bones. After an explorator...
متن کاملSurgical method for virally mediated gene delivery to the mouse inner ear through the round window membrane.
Gene therapy, used to achieve functional recovery from sensorineural deafness, promises to grant better understanding of the underlying molecular and genetic mechanisms that contribute to hearing loss. Introduction of vectors into the inner ear must be done in a way that widely distributes the agent throughout the cochlea while minimizing injury to the existing structures. This manuscript descr...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of the radial profile of basilar membrane vibrations in the inner ear.
Motivated by recent experimental results, an explanation is sought for the asymmetry in the radial profile of basilar membrane vibrations in the inner ear. A sequence of one-dimensional beam models is studied which take into account variations in the bending stiffness of the basilar membrane as well as the potential presence of structural hinges. The results suggest that the main cause of asymm...
