Twenty-nine guinea pigs were divided into three groups. The first group received distilled water 2 ml/kg ip daily; the second group received DDP 2 mg/kg ip daily; and the third group DDP 4 mg/kg ip daily. ABR hearing threshold was tested before injection. Twenty-four hours after systemic administration, ABR hearing threshold was tested again. The animals were killed and the cochlear specimens were observed under light, scanning and transmission electron microscopes. No abnormality regarding ABR hearing threshold and cochlear morphology was observed in the first group. In the second group, ABR hearing threshold was elevated, inner and outer hair cells, supporting cells, striae vascularis and spiral ganglions were damaged. In the third group, ABR hearing threshold elevated markedly. All above-mentioned cells were severely damaged. The experiment showed that the cochlear damage induced by DDP was dose related. The severest damage was seen in the second turn of the cochlea. The damage to the Deiters' cells was earliest and severest. The outer hair cells were more vulnerable to the damage than the inner hair cells did.

D007759	Labyrinth Diseases	Pathological processes of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) which contains the essential apparatus of hearing (COCHLEA) and balance (SEMICIRCULAR CANALS).	Inner Ear Disease,Ear Disease, Inner,Ear Diseases, Inner,Inner Ear Diseases,Labyrinth Disease
D002945	Cisplatin	An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003051	Cochlea	The part of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is concerned with hearing. It forms the anterior part of the labyrinth, as a snail-like structure that is situated almost horizontally anterior to the VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH.	Cochleas
D006168	Guinea Pigs	A common name used for the genus Cavia. The most common species is Cavia porcellus which is the domesticated guinea pig used for pets and biomedical research.	Cavia,Cavia porcellus,Guinea Pig,Pig, Guinea,Pigs, Guinea
D006198	Hair Cells, Auditory	Sensory cells in the organ of Corti, characterized by their apical stereocilia (hair-like projections). The inner and outer hair cells, as defined by their proximity to the core of spongy bone (the modiolus), change morphologically along the COCHLEA. Towards the cochlear apex, the length of hair cell bodies and their apical STEREOCILIA increase, allowing differential responses to various frequencies of sound.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016057	Evoked Potentials, Auditory, Brain Stem	Electrical waves in the CEREBRAL CORTEX generated by BRAIN STEM structures in response to auditory click stimuli. These are found to be abnormal in many patients with CEREBELLOPONTINE ANGLE lesions, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, or other DEMYELINATING DISEASES.
