[An experimental basis for cochlear prosthesis].

The experimental studies on cochlear prosthesis, performed at the II Moscow's medical Institute since 1981, are described. Electrophysiological and morphological results from the trial of an original electronic prosthesis, which transduces sound into electric oscillations, are presented. Data are given on morphological studies, referring to the influence of cochlear implants on the basal curve of the cochlea, to the internal structures of the cochlea and of the acoustic zone in the cortex of the large hemispheres. The results from the performed experiments show the efficiency of the described method for cochlear prosthesis and the possibility for its usage in the clinical practice.

Investigation on the role of viral antibodies in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.

An attempt was made to elucidate the role of antibodies to measles, rubella and mumps viruses in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis by correlating their levels in the blood of patients with clinical manifestations of the disease. Antibody titres to measles and rubella viruses were higher during exacerbations of the process and decreased during remissions. No correlation was found between the level of viral antibodies and the duration of the disease, features of its course (rapidly or slowly progressing), or the phase of the disease. The rise of viral antibody titres in multiple sclerosis appears to be a secondary process not associated with the disease aetiologically and playing no role in its pathogenesis.
