OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanisms of sudden deafness treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine (TCM-WM). METHODS One hundred and forty-six patients suffering from sudden deafness were divided into two groups, 64 cases of treated group treated with the method of integrated TCM-WM and the other 82 cases treated with Western medicine alone for control. RESULTS The total effective rate of the treated group was 92.19%, that of the control group was 75.61%. The difference between two groups was significant, P < 0.01. CONCLUSIONS The integrated method is very effective in treating sudden deafness. Its mechanism might be: (1) Decrease the blood viscosity and increase the red blood cell's tenacity, so that the blood stream is passing through unimpeded. (2) Decrease the plasma TXA2 level and increase the PGI2 level, keep the blood supply for inner ear. (3) Increase the activity of SOD and clear away the free radicals so as to reduce the damage of inner ear.

D001809 Blood Viscosity The internal resistance of the BLOOD to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as SICKLE CELL ANEMIA and POLYCYTHEMIA.
