| Abstract | We sought to determine the distribution of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and lymphocytes in the cochlea of mice infected with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV). For this purpose, 16 newborn mice were divided equally into model and control (uninfected) groups. In model group, 10 μl of MCMV was injected into the brain of each mouse whereas in control group, 10 μl of physiological saline was injected. Fourteen days after the injection of MCMV, the auditory brainstem response audiometry was performed. Later, the mice were killed and the acoustic capsule samples were collected for polymerase chain reaction analysis, histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. Compared with control mice, the incubation period was longer (F = 13.797; P = 0.003) and the amplitude was lower (F = 5.095; P = 0.043) in model group mice. It indicated that the intracerebral injection of MCMV caused hearing loss in mice. Histopathological examination of cochleas revealed increased levels of lymphocytic infiltration in the membrana vestibularis. Higher levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in scala tympani were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Taken together, the hearing loss in mice could be related with the inflammatory changes occurring in cochlea after inception of MCMV infection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
