Protective Action of Kidney - tonics on Oto - intoxication of Gentamycin in Guinea Pig / 中医杂志

ABSTRACT

By adopting induction - electricity threshold of brain stem, counting of hairy cells in cochlear membrane, and electromicroscopic exam of ultra microscopic sturcture before and after the administration of the drug, it was shown that kidney tonics can protect the hairy cells, effectively resist the increased of hearing threshold caused by gentamycin, demonstrating that such kidney tonics can protect the cochlear structure and function, minimize the oto - toxicity of gentamycin.
