structural similarity—possibly resulting, in humans, in a slower rate of diffusion and decreased permeability.
In addition to our archived collection of human tem­poral bones, our collection contains 19 different species of animals, including four different species of experi­mentally induced otitis media. The following are some examples of human temporal bone correlations with animal models. We studied human temporal bones from donors with mucopolysaccharidoses I (MPS I). An autosomal recessive disorder, MPS I is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding α-L-idurodinase and af­fects many organs, including the ear. Otologic findings include otitis media and a progressive hearing loss. Our histologic analysis of human temporal bones with MPS I showed residual mesenchyme and basophilic concretions in the middle ear, as well as degeneration of the organs of Corti16 (Figure 10–11A) and significant loss of hair cells in all cochlear turns,17 explaining the combined conductive and sensorineural deafness that
human patients experience. We saw similar pathologic changes in our MPS I knockout mouse (Figure 10–11B), validating it as an effective animal model.18 We then in­vestigated gene therapy in this model, with an eye on its potential for translation to humans with MPS I.19
We have conducted many studies validating vari­ous aspects of the chinchilla model of otitis media (pio­neered at the University of Minnesota) with respect to our human temporal bones from deceased donors with otitis media. We compared the ultrastructure of the normal human round window to various animal spe-

and our human temporal bones with otitis media27 have been shown. We also demonstrated sen­sorineural hearing loss secondary to otitis media in our chinchilla model,28 a sequela described in humans.

Our laboratory made significant progress in otitis
media-related translational research using our collection
of human temporal bones and experimental animal models. We initiated the concept of the otitis media continuum lent otitis media” (Figure 10–14) or intractable tissue pathology behind an intact tympanic membrane and middle ear and inner ear interaction in acute and chronic otitis media (Figure 10–15).33 This research trans­formed treatment of patients.

CLINICAL CAVEAT: The concept of chronic silent (masked) otitis media depends on the basis of clini­cal and otopathologic evidence of chronic infection in the middle ear cleft in the absence of obvious pathologic findings in the tympanic membrane. The clinician should, therefore, be aware that an intact
;
tympanic membrane does not necessarily preclude the presence of pathologic changes in the middle ear cleft, as is seen in Figure 10–13.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN HUMAN
TEMPORAL BONE RESEARCH
Future studies should correlate otopathologic analysis with genotypic and clinical data in order to better un­derstand the disease progression and pathogenesis. To date, around 50 genes have been identified as a cause of nonsyndromic deafness. Only a few otopathologic case reports associated with genetic information have been described. We desperately need studies comparing ge­netic information from tissues such as blood or cheek swab with the identified gene mutations responsible for the specific ear diseases and their protein expression in human temporal bones by immunohistochemistry in order to create targets for future treatment plans and more importantly genetic counseling. For example, pre­vious studies have shown that endolymphatic hydrops can be the only histologic marker for Meniere’s dis­ease; however, hydrops is not directly responsible for its symptoms (hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo). Paparella and co-workers reported various develop­mental anomalies involving and surrounding the en­dolymphatic drainage system, such as a reduced Traut­mann’s triangle and hypopneumatization of mastoid air cells, which could be an early manifestation of genetic abnormalities.39 It is believed that these anomalies can gradually lead to dysfunction of the endolymphatic duct, primarily including malabsorption of endolymph, but also possibly to dysfunctional interference with se­cretion and function of the local immune system—ulti­mately ending up with Meniere’s disease. These types of studies will help researchers and clinicians determine the gene(s) associated with this disease, facilitating po­tential therapeutic strategies.
The laboratory should have a multidisciplinary team in temporal bone procurement, clinical data collec­tion, and methodologic analysis, such as pathology, his­tology, immunohistochemistry, proteomics, polymerase chain reaction, cDNA microarray, in situ hybridization, light and electron microscopy, and 3-D reconstruction from serial temporal bone sections to understand the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and etiology of the hearing and balance disorders through analysis of human ear tissues. The combined approach of ultra­structural and molecular analysis with temporal bone pathology will greatly enhance our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ear diseases. We have pre­viously shown that fresh dissected human ear tissues are suitable for studying mRNA and protein expres­sion using techniques such as PCR, in situ hybridiza-
40
tion, and immunohistochemistry.
Current standard

procedures have proven useful for many imaging and molecular studies of human temporal bones; however, because of long postmortem, fixation, and decalcifica­tion times, such procedures can fail to conserve the structure of specimens or to preserve their nucleic ac­ids and proteins. The limitations of DNA retrieval from archived temporal bones are as follows: (1) the amount of DNA extracted from a single section (~500 ng) is low; (2) extracted DNA does not allow PCR amplification of fragments exceeding ~300 to 400 bp; (3) extracted DNA is labile and degrades rapidly; and (4) formalin fixa­tion can induce alterations in template sequence that can inhibit alignment.
41
In PCR amplifications, minor alterations in DNA sequences due to formalin fixation can be misinterpreted as a possible mutation (up to 1 artifact per ~500 bp).42 We found rapid degradation of RNA in bones when postmortem times exceeded 6 hours. Long preparation and storage times can also result in poor preservation of ear structures, in degra­dation of DNA/RNA, and in decreased antigenicity of proteins. Contamination of DNA/RNA is a significant problem.43 Some reasons for contamination of archived specimens included: (1) before the development of mo­lecular methods there was no reason to follow sterile technique; (2) temporal bones were processed in vari­ous concentrations of celloidin that were reused in multiple specimens; and (3) multiple specimens were stored in the same solutions. With newly acquired hu­man temporal bones with specific requests regarding disease, fixative, or embedding media, as well as micro­dissected structures, modified fixative, avoiding the pitfalls of reusing embedding material and of storing multiple specimens in the same solution, studies will use ear tissues with less contamination and with better preservation of morphology and molecular footprints, enhancing immunohistochemical, electron micro­scopic, and proteomic analysis. However, transmission electron microscopy can be applied to unstained cel­loidin sections; if those studies are performed in hu­man specimens with minimal postmortem times, mor­phologic analysis will demonstrate excellent structural detail.
SUMMARY
Because of the diversity of ear diseases, one main re­quirement of human temporal bone laboratories is the ability to acquire and archive a large number of bones from deceased donors with good clinical histories for auditory and vestibular research. Because of human oto-

pathologic studies, we will have a better understand­ing of the structural and molecular mechanism of vari­ous ear pathologies and otopathologic conditions that could have a major impact, facilitating the develop­ment of new strategies for preventing and treating ear diseases and their complications.
