Effects of safflower injection on serum superoxide dismntase and malonyldialdehyde with sudden deafness / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the treatment mechanism of safflower injection on sudden deafness through the changes of the hearing threshold, serum superoxide dismntase (SOD) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) before and after treatment. Methods 40 cases of sudden deafness were divided into two groups: groupⅠ(group with safflower) and groupⅡ (group without safflower). The concentrations of serum MDA and SOD and hearing threshold were detected before and after treatment. 25 cases of normal hearing as the control group. Results (1) The total efficiency in the group Ⅰwas higher than the group Ⅱ (P0.05). Conclusion Safflower injection could scavenge oxygen free radical and improve the quality of hearing recovery.
