Journal of Pest Science, SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, Online, Oct. 2022, Peer-reviwed, The effects of substrate-borne vibration with frequencies of 30 and 300 Hz on the number of the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum and the number of fruit sets in greenhouse tomatoes were investigated. When tomatoes were intermittently subjected to 300-Hz vibration generated from vibrational exciters installed in a greenhouse, the number of adult and larval T. vaporariorum was significantly reduced compared with non-vibration plots. The substrate-borne 30-Hz vibration generated from different vibrational exciters did not affect the number of T. vaporariorum when smaller acceleration was applied to tomato plants; however, it showed a suppressive effect when greater acceleration was applied. Regarding pollination, the number of fruit sets in tomatoes subjected to 300-Hz vibration was the same as that in non-vibration plots, which was lower than that in plant growth regulation treatment plots. The number of fruit sets in tomatoes subjected to 30-Hz vibration significantly increased compared with that in non-vibration plots, which was comparable to that in plant growth regulation treatment plots. Our findings suggest that applying substrate vibration to tomatoes is effective in suppressing the plant infestation by T. vaporariorum and promoting tomato pollination. Vibrations could disrupt various behaviors associated with infestation and cause repellency in T. vaporariorum. This study focused on the effectiveness of vibrational conditions, including frequency, acceleration, and temporal characteristics, in detail, aiming to incorporate them into integrated pest management programs in greenhouse tomato cultivation.

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, Elsevier, 133, -, in press-110001, 2020, Peer-reviwed, True, OBJECTIVES: We previously reported that fetal heart rate (FHR) accelerations could be obtained after fetal sound stimulation. We examined FHR accelerations during 20-37 weeks gestational age (GA) in order to assess the optimal time for the test. METHODS: The fetus was stimulated from the maternal abdomen with pure tone 2000 Hz, 90 dB, 5 s. Changes in the FHR before and after the sound stimulation were measured by a cardiotocometer. RESULTS: Compared with the positive rate of FHR accelerations at 20-21 weeks GA, significant increases were recognized in 26-27, 28 to 29, 30 to 31, and 34-35 weeks GA. Comparing the positive rate of FHR accelerations between the minimal and moderate variability of FHR baseline, no significant differences were observed at 20-27 weeks GA. On the other hand, at 28-37 weeks GA, the positive rate to detect FHR accelerations due to sound stimulation was 100% in moderate FHR baseline variability. CONCLUSION: Considering development of human fetal hearing, the method should be performed between 28 and 37 weeks GA and during moderate FHR variability corresponding to active sleep conditions. The method developed in the present study may provide a promising tool for evaluating the fetal hearing.

Simulation of mechano-electrical transduction in the cochlea considering basilar membrane vibration and the ionic current of the inner hair cells
Sinyoung Lee; Takuji Koike
AIP Conference Proceedings, American Institute of Physics Inc., 1965, 1, 31 May 2018, Peer-reviwed, The inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea transduce mechanical vibration of the basilar membrane (BM), caused by sound pressure, to electrical signals that are transported along the acoustic nerve to the brain. The mechanical vibration of the BM and the ionic behaviors of the IHCs have been investigated. However, consideration of the ionic behavior of the IHCs related to mechanical vibration is necessary to investigate the mechano-electrical transduction of the cochlea. In this study, a finite-element model of the BM, which takes into account the non-linear activities of the outer hair cells (OHCs), and an ionic current model of IHC were combined. The amplitudes and phases of the vibration at several points on the BM were obtained from the finite-element model by applying sound pressure. These values were fed into the ionic current model, and changes in membrane potential and calcium ion concentration of the IHCs were calculated. The membrane potential of the IHC at the maximum amplitude point (CF point) was higher than that at the non-CF points. The calcium ion concentration at the CF point was also higher than that at the non-CF points. These results suggest that the cochlea achieves its good frequency discrimination ability through mechano-electrical transduction.

Relationship between the levels of DP components and non-Active portions of the basilar membrane: Simulation using human cochlear finite-element model
Takuji Koike; Sinyoung Lee
AIP Conference Proceedings, American Institute of Physics Inc., 1965, 1, 31 May 2018, Peer-reviwed, In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element model of the human cochlea was created considering the non-linear activity of the outer hair cells (OHCs) to investigate the mechanism of the development of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). Two tones with frequencies of f1 and f2 were simultaneously applied to the stapes head of the model, and distortion components generated on the basilar membrane (BM) and at the stapes were calculated. The results suggested that the activity of the OHCs at the more basal part of the BM compared to the characteristic frequency position of f2 has critical roles to generate DPOAEs.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PEDIATRIC OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 101, *, 204-210, Oct. 2017, Peer-reviwed, Objectives: The fetus is well known to have a substantial capacity for sound recognition in the uterine environment. The aim of this study was to develop a sound stimulus system equipped with a piezoelectric vibrator (PV), record the PV-stimulated potential (PVSP) of the fetus and monitor changes of the fetal heart rate (FHR) under PV stimulation.
Methods: The relationship between the input voltage applied to a piezoelectric vibrator and the sound pressure generated in the uterus was calibrated based on a model of the maternal abdomen. Fourteen fetuses for the measurement of the PVSP and 22 fetuses for the measurement of the heart rate changes from low-risk pregnant women were recruited.
Results: The PVSP responses were obtained in 9 out of 14 fetuses. All the tested fetuses accelerated the FHR after the 2 kHz tone stimulation at 70 dB intensity generated by PV from 32 to 37 weeks gestational age.
Conclusions: Using a newly developed sound stimulus system equipped with PV, the electric responses of a fetus recorded from electrodes placed on the mother's abdomen may be closely related to the auditory evoked response. Significant accelerations of FHR were objectively, accurately and readily obtained after the sound stimulation. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

IUTAM SYMPOSIUM ON ADVANCES IN BIOMECHANICS OF HEARING, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 24, 64-71, 2017, Peer-reviwed, Endolymphatic hydrops (EH) causes fluctuating hearing loss especially at low frequencies. In this paper, we analyze EH with the human cochlear finite element model which includes activity of the outer hair cells (OHC). EH was simulated by loading static pressure on the surface of the basilar membrane (BM) of the cochlear model. The vibrations of the BM in the EH model were calculated by applying sound pressure to the stapes, and the results were compared with those in the normal cochlea model. As a result, the distribution of characteristic frequency (CF) was changed and the displacement of the BM was decreased by loading static pressure to the BM. This suggests that the mechanism of hearing loss was caused by EH. (c) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.

OTOLOGY & NEUROTOLOGY, LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 35, 4, E135-E139, Apr. 2014, Peer-reviwed, Hypothesis
Mastoidectomy using an ultrasonic bone curette (UBC) is as safe for the inner ear as a mastoidectomy using a high-speed drill.
Background
Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) is a minimally invasive, secure, and functional technique, which has been performed using high-speed drills. We have started to use a UBC instead of the high-speed drill because a UBC allows for simultaneous bone cutting, irrigation, and aspiration. These features of the UBC make it an excellent candidate for use in one-handed TEES, but the safety of the UBC still needs to be confirmed. We thus measured skull vibrations caused by the UBC to estimate the effects of UBC on the inner ear.
Methods
Eight patients with cholesteatoma underwent mastoidectomy using a Sonopet UST-2001 UBC (Stryker, MI, USA) and 2 high-speed drills (drills A and B). Skull vibrations were measured using polyvinylidene difluoride film taped to the forehead as a piezoelectric vibration sensor. The recorded data were transformed to the power spectrum in the frequency domain by fast Fourier transform. The mean and peak values of vibrations were analyzed in four frequency bands: 200 to 500 Hz, 500 to 2,000 Hz, 2,000 to 8,000 Hz, and 8,000 Hz to 20 kHz.
Results
Both the mean values and the peak values of skull vibrations caused by the UBC were significantly smaller than those values obtained for drill B between 500 and 8,000 Hz, (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found among the 3 instruments below 500 Hz or above 8,000 Hz.
Conclusion
Skull vibration levels generated by the UBC were found to be comparable or even lower than those levels associated with conventional high-speed drills. These findings indicated that the UBC can be safely applied to TEES without the risk of harmful effects on the inner ear.

Otology Japan, THE JAPAN OTOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 22, 5, 918-922, 2012, To circumvent some of the disadvantages of conventional hearing aids such as sound distortion, feedback, and cosmetic factors, implantable hearing devices have been developed. However, these hearing devices also have problems such as insufficient output at high frequencies and inflammation.
In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid with an external unit and an internal unit is proposed. The external unit consists of a microphone, a speech processor, and a transmitting coil, which send the sound signals and energy to the internal unit by generating a magnetic field. The internal unit consists of a receiving coil, a driving coil, and a vibrator made of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM), which deforms its body by changing the magnetic field. The internal unit is surgically embedded in the temporal bone under the skin and vibrates the skull when the magnetic flux is applied by the external unit. For the first stage in the development of the new bone-conduction hearing aid, a prototype was made and its fundamental properties were examined.
The GMM vibrator has a good linear response and high output especially at high frequencies. In contrast, the output at low frequencies is relatively lower than that at high frequencies. To enhance the output of the implanted bone-conduction hearing aid at low frequencies is an issue in the future.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2010, 3-4, 2010, In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid with an external unit and an internal unit is proposed. A prototype transducer was made and installed in a cadaver head, and the performance of the transducer was investigated when the method of installation (number of fixed point) of the transducer was changed. The frequency response of the amplitude of the cadaver generated by the transducer depended on the number of the fixed point. The ear-canal sound pressure generated by the transducer with single point fixation was higher than that with two point fixation. These results suggest that single point fixation method is suitable for installing the transducer to the cadaver.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2010, 115-116, 2010, In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model of the human ear was established, including the ear canal, middle ear, loading of the cochlea. The acoustic-structure interaction analysis was performed using this coupling model. The impulse-responses of the pressure in the ear canal and the displacement of the stapes were calculated step by step, and the time domain responses were transformed into frequency domain responses by FFT. The general tendency in the frequency response of the each results obtained using the FE model was nearly same as the measurement results. In this way, the measurement of "Otorefrectance" which is a new hearing test was simulated by the analysis using the FE model.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON SOUND AND VIBRATION, INT INST ACOUSTICS & VIBRATION, CD-ROM, 2010, In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid is proposed. A vibrator unit of the hearing aid consists of two coils and an element made of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM). For the first stage in the development of the new bone-conduction hearing aid, fundamental properties of the GMM vibrator were examined. In addition, a prototype transducer was made and installed in cadaver heads, and the performance of the prototype transducer was investigated. The output of the prototype transducer was linearly increased with increasing the input current. The frequency response varied depends on the cadavers. These results suggest that the gain of our hearing aid can be controlled by changing the input current, but individual differences of patients should be considered.

NEUROSCIENCE, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 164, 3, 1312-1319, Dec. 2009, Peer-reviwed, Mutations in the connexin26 gene (GJB2) are the most common genetic cause of congenital bilateral non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Transgenic mice were established carrying human Cx26 with the R75W mutation that was identified in a deaf family with autosomal dominant negative inheritance [Kudo T et al. (2003) Hum Mol Genet 12:9951004]. A dominant-negative Gjb2 R75W transgenic mouse model shows incomplete development of the cochlear supporting cells, resulting in profound deafness from birth [Inoshita A et al. (2008) Neuroscience 156:1039-1047]. The Cx26 defect in the Gjb2 R75W transgenic mouse is restricted to the supporting cells; it is unclear why the auditory response is severely disturbed in spite of the presence of outer hair cells (OHCs). The present study was designed to evaluate developmental changes in the in vivo and in vitro function of the OHC, and the fine structure of the OHC and adjacent supporting cells in the R75W transgenic mouse. No detectable distortion product oto-acoustic emissions were observed at any frequencies in R75W transgenic mice throughout development. A characteristic phenotype observed in these mice was the absence of the tunnel of Corti, Nuel's space, and spaces surrounding the OHC; the OHC were compressed and squeezed by the surrounding supporting cells. On the other hand, the OHC developed normally. Structural features of the lateral wall, such as the membrane-bound subsurface cisterna beneath the plasma membrane, were intact. Prestin, the voltage-dependent motor protein, was observed by immunohistochemistry in the OHC basolateral membranes of both transgenic and non-transgenic mice. No significant differences in electromotility of isolated OHCs during development was observed between transgenic and control mice. The present study indicates that normal development of the supporting cells is indispensable for proper cellular function of the OHC. (C) 2009 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AOKI Michihito; HAYATA Mariko; KOIKE Takuji; HOMMA Kyoji
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2009, 165-166, 2009, Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) is expected to be used as a new artificial adhesive material for bonding under wet conditions such as surgical incisions. The adhesive strength of MAP, however, has not been accurately measured until now for practical use. The study aims to clarify the time variation of adhesive strength from an engineering perspective. Adhesive strengths have been measured during the range from ready to one month after adhesion setup, using prototype peel test procedure. The results show that the adhesive strength depends on time and repeated seesawing strength with the elapse of days.

J0204-2-4 Evaluation of the vibration force generated by a bone-conduction implantable hearing aid using giant magnetostrictive material
KOIKE Takuji; YAMAMOTO Kensei; HARASHIMA Tatsunari; AOKI Michito; HOMMA Kyoji; HATO Naoto; KANZAKI Sho
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2009, 217-218, 2009, In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid with an external unit and an internal unit is proposed. The internal unit consists of a receiving coil, a driving coil, and a vibrator made of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM). AM signals were applied to the internal unit through mutual induction between a transmitting coil and the receiving coil, and the force generated by the GMM vibrator was measured with a piezoelectric force sensor. The high-frequency carrier signal was efficiently transmitted from the transmitting coil to the receiving coil, and the force with a component of audible frequency corresponding to the modulating frequency was generated with high intensity. This result suggests that the GMM vibrator had a function of self-demodulation, and a simple structured implanted bone-conduction hearing aid can be developed using GMM.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AUDIOLOGY, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 48, 8, 576-581, 2009, Peer-reviwed, Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) have been used to examine the development of hearing in the rat and gerbil. However, no reports of DPOAE measurement from the onset of hearing in mice are available. Commercially-available components were assembled and adapted to provide a suitable probe microphone and sound delivery system for measuring DPOAE in developing C57BL/6J mice. Furthermore, DPOAE data were compared with the findings of the auditory brainstem response (ABR). DPOAEs were obtained at 8 kHz from 11 days after birth, 20 kHz from 12 days, and 30 kHz from 13 days. Adult-like patterns of DPOAE were obtained 21 days at 8 and 20 kHz, and 28 days at 30 kHz. On the other hand, the ABR thresholds at 12 to 36 kHz appeared between 11 and 12 days and were saturated at 14 days. Based on these data, the onset of measureable DPOAEs in the mouse were earlier than in the rat and gerbil. The maturation of DPOAE in the mouse begins at a lower frequency in the high frequency range. In addition, the ABR threshold reached maturation earlier than DPOAE.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 105, 33, 11812-11817, Aug. 2008, Peer-reviwed, insects have evolved a marked diversity of mechanisms to produce loud conspicuous sounds for efficient communication. However, the risk of eavesdropping by competitors and predators is high. Here, we describe a mechanism for producing extremely low-intensity ultrasonic songs (46 dB sound pressure level at 1 cm) adapted for private sexual communication in the Asian corn borer moth, Ostrinia furnacalis. During courtship, the male rubs specialized scales on the wing against those on the thorax to produce the songs, with the wing membrane underlying the scales possibly acting as a sound resonator. The male's song suppresses the escape behavior of the female, thereby increasing his mating success. Our discovery of extremely low-intensity ultrasonic communication may point to a whole undiscovered world of private communication, using "quiet" ultrasound.

ヒト蝸牛モデルによる基底板および内耳液振動解析：外リンパ瘻のシミュレーション
小池 卓二
Otology Japan, THE JAPAN OTOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 18, 1, 33-38, Jan. 2008, Peer-reviwed, In this study, dynamic behavior of the basilar membrane and cochlear fluid caused by the vibration of the stapes was analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element model of the human cochlea. Numerical results and the measurement results were compared, and the validity of the model was verified. In addition, an influence of perilymphatic fistula on the vibration of the basilar membrane was analyzed. The leakage of the lymph from a perforation opened near the round window did not have the great influence on the vibration of the basilar membrane. In contrast, the amplitude of the basilar membrane decreased when the lymph flowed out through the perforation near the oval window. This result suggests that oval window perilymphatic fistula causes an increase of hearing threshold from the viewpoint of dynamics.

Speech Signal Captured by PVDF Sensor
Rajkishore Prasad; Takuji Koike; Fumitoshi Matsuno
2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, CD-ROM, 9-+, 2008, The spoken communication between human and a machine is difficult and challenging task. Under the noisy background, it is more difficult as the speech collecting microphone collects noisy signal. In this paper we describe a PVDF based microphone that collects bone conducted sound of the speaker Mile discriminating the background noise. The PVDF microphone is placed on the forehead of the speaker. Since the proposed microphone collects bone conducted sound, it contains high frequency components in feeble or little amount as the human bone acts like a low pass filter with upper cut off frequency ranging from 1kHz to 1.5 kHz.

2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, CD-ROM, 2615-+, 2008, This paper presents a now method of measuring relative threshold of hearing using tone-trains of different frequencies. The conventional methods of measurement of hearing threshold in tonic audiometry are trail and error method and thus take handsome amount of time. Such methods are not suitable for the situations where ample amount of time for the measurement is not available. The proposed tone-train method is faster and can, be used to measure hearing threshold tip to precision of 1dB within multiple of minutes.

Effect of Ferric Ions on the Mechanical Strength of Marine Mussel Adhesive Proteins
Michihito Aoki; Yoshihiro Takeda; Hajime Fukunaga; Takuji Koike; Sayuri Murakami; Kyoji Homma
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 3, 2, 188-199, 2008, Peer-reviwed, Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) is expected to be used as a new bioadhesive. However, the mechanical properties of MAP have not been reported, despite the potential importance of MAP in medical applications. The study aims to estimate the mechanical strength of MAP, and describe the influence of ferric ions present in MAP on the mechanical strength. Fe3+ incorporated in MAP is regarded as having an important role in the mechanical properties. Mussels were classified into two groups in order to compare the effect of Fe3+ on both the tensile and peel properties of MAP. One group was exposed to artificial seawater with a high concentration of ferric ions, and the other group is exposed to natural seawater as a control. The results revealed that the deterioration of the adhesive strength over time was different between the two groups, although significant differences in the tensile properties were not observed. While the adhesive strength in the control group decreased with elapsed time, it was increased for the iron-enriched group over the first 17 days. This suggested that ferric ions may improve the magnitude of the adhesive strength for MAP. © 2008, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. All rights reserved.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2007, 233-234, 2007, The adhesive protein of the mussel is expected as an ingredient of the new adhesive, there are few studies about the mechanical characteristic of the protein. In this study, curing temperature dependence of the adhesive strength was investigated from the viewpoint of mechanical strength. The original peel test method by spatula-shaped probe was used for the measurement of the adhesive strength. The effect of a temperature hysteresis in curing on the adhesive strength to substratum of the protein by changing curing temperature was examined. The results show that the adhesive strength depended on curing temperature in a range of 20-70℃.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2007, 241-242, 2007, The byssus secreted by marine mussels has renowned for their adhesive and mechanical characteristics. Dopa contained in their byssal protein can form catechol complexes with exceptional stability in the presence of metal ions such as Fe^<3+> while mussels take up particulate or soluble iron from seawater. Iron may be the key reagent in protein cross-linking for adhesive synthesis, but the implications for byssal mechanical properties have not been known. Therefore, the effect of iron for mechanical properties of byssuses was examined by the tensile test. We have performed the tensile test for byssuses which secreted by the mussels exposed in Fe^<3+> supplemented seawater for 24 hours. The tensile test showed that mechanical properties of byssus kept in the high iron seawater didn't show significant change as contrasted with that kept in artificial seawater manipulated its pH same as the other level.

MIDDLE EAR MECHANICS IN RESEARCH AND OTOLOGY, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 69-+, 2007, Peer-reviwed, To evaluate ossicular mobility in surgery, an apparatus that quasi-statically measures the load and displacement of the ossicles has been developed. This apparatus was used to measure the ossicular mobility in human temporal bones before and after the ossicles were artificially fixed. These results were compared with simultaneous estimates of ossicular mobility obtained with a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). In addition, the ossicular mobility of three patients with otosclerosis or chronic otitis media was also measured to evaluate the usability of the apparatus. The apparatus could make estimating the change of mobility between pre and post-treatments for ossicular fixation possible, and positive correlation was seen between ossicular mobility and hearing level. These results suggest that our apparatus has the ability to detect the difference in ossicular mobility quantitatively between fixed and normal ears, and shows that our apparatus could be a useful tool in the surgical estimate of ossicular disorders.

OTOLOGY & NEUROTOLOGY, LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 27, 5, 600-603, Aug. 2006, Peer-reviwed, Objective: To investigate the contribution of anatomical factors, such as the caliber of the patent eustachian tube (ET) and the volume of the middle car cavity, on vocalized sound transmission to the inner ear.
Methods: Model experiment using artificial middle ear.
Results: In the present model experiment, sound transmission from the pharynx to the inner ear under patulous conditions was affected by the caliber of the ET and by the mastoid volume, especially in the low-frequency region, that is, a larger caliber of the ET and smaller mastoid volume resulted in greater sound transmission from the pharyngeal space to the inner ear.
Conclusion: Patulous symptoms may be more distressful in patients with poorly developed mastoid cavity than in those with well-aerated mastoid under similar conditions of patulous ET.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2006, 209-210, 2006, The byssus secreted by marine mussels have adhesive plaques renowned for their great adhesive characteristics. Dopa contained in the byssal protein can form catechol complexes with exceptional stability in the presence of metal ions such as Fe3+ while mussels take up particulate or soluble iron from seawater. Iron may be the key reagent in protein cross-linking for adhesive synthesis, but the implications for their adhesive strength have not been clarified. The peeling strength of adhesive plaques deposited onto glass surface, which secreted by the mussels exposed in Fe3+ supplemented seawater for 24 hours, has been investigated by peeling apparatus exclusively for the mussel plaques. The peeling test showed that keeping plaques in the high iron seawater altered its tenacity as contrasted with that kept in artificial seawater manipulated its pH same as the other level.

638 Frequency Dependence of the Sound Conduction Path of the Vibration Directly Applied to the Skull : from Low Frequency to Ultra Sound Frequency
SUZUKI Akira; KOIKE Takuji; MURAKAMI Sayuri; HOMMA Kyoji
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2006, Vol.5, 197-198, 2006, When a skull is vibrated by a vibrator, we can perceive a sound. The applied vibration is supposed to be transmitted to the cochlea through the temporal bone, and this sound path is called bone-conduction. However, our preliminary experiments showed that sound pressure is generated in the external auditory meatus when a skull is vibrated, and the sound pressure strongly influences perception of sound at low frequencies. In this study, the sound pressure in the external auditory meatus generated by the vibration of 0.2〜40kHz applied to a skull was measured. The results showed that the influence of the sound pressure generated in external auditory meatus on perception of the sound decreases with increasing the frequency.

In this study, using finite-element middle-ear models, the effects of individual differences in the size and mobility of the middle ear on its transmission characteristics were analyzed. The individual differences in the size of the normal middle ear were found to affect the transfer function by up to 10 dB. The effects of the Young's moduli of the stapedial annular ligaments and the incudostapedial joint on the transfer function were large compared to the effects of the Young's moduli of the other parts of the middle ear.

JSME INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL SERIES C-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MACHINE ELEMENTS AND MANUFACTURING, JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 48, 4, 529-536, Dec. 2005, Peer-reviwed, To circumvent some of the problems inherent in conventional hearing aids such as low gain at high frequencies due to acoustic feedback, discomfort in occlusion of the external ear canal and so on, implantable hearing aids have been developed over the past two decades. The most prominent feature of implantable hearing aids is that a transducer is directly coupled to the one of the middle-ear ossicles. However, since invasive surgery is necessary for implantation of these hearing aids, they have not as yet been widely employed. We therefore constructed a prototype of a non-implantable hearing aid which is mainly composed of a microphone amplifier system and an electromagnetic transducer developed in our previous study. It can generate an excitation force to vibrate the ossicles by a coil adhered to the tympanic membrane. In this study, the excitation force generated by this hearing aid was evaluated using human temporal bones. The best result of experiments using three bones indicates that the newly developed hearing aid can generate an excitation force of more than 80 dB SPL in terms of sound pressure at frequencies between 0.8 and 3.2 kHz.

1103 Influence of the sound pressure generated in the external auditory meatus on sound perception when the skull is vibrated by an actuator
SUZUKI Akira; KOIKE Takuji; HOMMA Kyoji; MURAKAMI Sayuri
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2005, 79-80, 2005, When a bone is vibrated by a vibrator, we can perceive a sound even if conductive hearing loss exists. The applied vibrationis supposed to be transmitted to the cochlea through the temporal bone, and this sound path is called bone-conduction. However, the real sound paths of the vibration applied to the bone have not been clarified. In this study, the subjective sound pressure perceived by subjects and the sound pressure generated in the external auditory meatus (EAM) were measured when the zygomatic process of temporal bone was vibrated by a piezoelectric vibrator. The level of sound pressure in EAM was nearly equal to the subjective sound pressure level at 1kHz. This result suggests that subjects with normal middle ear perceive not only bone-conducted sound but also air-conducted sound through the middle ear when the zygomatic process was vibrated at 1kHz.

The EMHA consists of vibration coils, a chamber, and a magnet. To estimate the power of the EMHA, an artificial stapes-cochlea model was made, and the vibration of the stapes head of the model generated by the EMHA was measured. The results suggested that the EMHA generated an excitation force of 90dB SPL in terms of sound pressure in the wide frequency range of 250-10,000Hz.

長期間水ストレスを与えた植物で発生するアコースティックエミッションについて
村上小百合; 矢作陽一; 本間恭二; 小池卓二
日本機械学会論文集C, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 71, 712, 200-205, 2005, The influence to ecosystem of plant by global warming is investigated. However, few diagnostic technologies by non-destructive inspection to environmental stress are established. Acoustic emission (AE) is applied to the measurement of damage under the water stress of plants. Cavitation phenomena are known by negative pressure under the lack of water in the vessel. Since shock wave due to cavitations issues AE, water stress state of plant can be monitored on real time by measuring AE. In this paper, AE events by the cavitation were measured in drought-treated Ginkgo biloba L, Ficus spp. and Lycopersicon es. In all plant, AE events are increased during drought and stopped by supplying water. In Ginkgo and Ficus, a temporary decrease of AE events was observed during drought. It is presumed that plant adjust internal water balance for self-defense by a certain procedure. Stoma closing of the leaf considered being the most effective physiology, however, was not the cause.

A new electromagnetic hearing aid using lightweight coils to vibrate the ossicles
S Hamanishi; T Koike; H Matsuki; H Wada
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 40, 5, 3387-3393, Sep. 2004, As the first stage in the development of a noninvasive electromagnetic hearing aid, we made a new transducer that gencrates a high-excitation force to vibrate ossicles via the tympanic membrane. This transducer consists of a core, driving and induction coils, a rare-earth magnet, and a vibrator coil. We designed the core, the driving and induction coils, and the magnet so as to generate the greatest excitation force possible when installed in the external ear canal of humans. With regard to the vibrator coil, which was attached to the center of the tympanic membrane to vibrate the ossicles, we determined its optimal mass, position, and shape both by finite-element method (FEM) analysis and by experiments using an artificial middle ear. A prototype of the optimally designed transducer can generate an excitation force of more than 95 dB sound pressure level (SPL) in terms of sound pressure at frequencies between 0.1 and 10 kHz. This result indicates that the transducer developed in this study can be used to treat patients with a hearing loss up to 70 dB hearing level (HL).

Sound localization of bone-conducted signals generated by two transducers attached to teeth
SOETA Akihiro; KOIKE Takuji; HONMA Kyouji
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2004, 47-48, 2004, The efficiency of the sound transmission of a bone-conduction hearing aid is improved when tooth is excited by a transducer because the vibration generated by the transducer is not attenuated by the damping of skin and directly transmits to the skull. In addition, if sound localization is established by a binaural bone-conduction hearing aid, speech articulation is also improved. In this study, the sound localization was tested by applying sinusoidal signals to two transducers attached to right and left teeth. The pattern of the sound localization according to the phase difference between the two signals depended on individuals, and this sound localization seemed to be caused by the change of the amplitude of the vibration transmitted to the cochleae from the transducers.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD SYMPOSIUM ON MIDDLE EAR MECHANICS IN RESEARCH AND OTOLOGY, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 68-74, 2004, Peer-reviwed, The size and stiffness of the middle ear are different between individuals, and the effects of these differences on middle ear transfer function have not been clarified. In this study, using finite-element middle-car models, the effects of individual differences in the size and stiffness of the middle ear on its transmission characteristics were analyzed. The individual differences in the size on the middle ear were found to slightly affect the transfer function. The effects of Young's modulus of the ligaments and incudostapedial joint on the transfer function were significantly large compared to those of the other parts of the middle ear.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD SYMPOSIUM ON MIDDLE EAR MECHANICS IN RESEARCH AND OTOLOGY, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 333-339, 2004, Peer-reviwed, Confirmation of the conditions of the ossicles is essential for tympanoplasty. Although several methods to measure ossicular mobility have been reported, the quantitative evaluation of ossicular mobility has been difficult to date. We have therefore developed a new system with which it is possible to quantitatively evaluate ossicular mobility during surgery. The apparatus enables us to simultaneously obtain the reaction force from the ossicles and its displacement. Force-displacement curves obtained from otosclerotic ears were clearly different from these obtained from normal subjects. Furthermore, pre- and post-treatment results showed significant differences. With this new apparatus, it is possible to distinguish the differences in mobility of the ossicles between normal and fixed ossicles, as well as estimate the change of the mobility between pre- and post-treatment for ossicular fixation.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD SYMPOSIUM ON MIDDLE EAR MECHANICS IN RESEARCH AND OTOLOGY, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 362-369, 2004, Peer-reviwed, Research and development over the past two decades has shown that implantable hearing aids can circumvent some of the problems found in conventional hearing aids, such as feedback, cosmetic problems and so on. However, these hearing aids have not as yet been widely used, because invasive surgery has to be performed to implant them and applying them in children, who are still growing, is difficult.
In this study, a prototype of the non-implantable electromagnetic hearing aid, which can generate a high-excitation force to vibrate the ossicles via the tympanic membrane, was constructed. The hearing aid consists of an electromagnetic transducer and an amplifier. To determine fundamental properties of the hearing aid, excitation force and acoustical gain were evaluated using an artificial middle ear and a human temporal bone, respectively. The experiments showed that the hearing aid was able to generate the maximum excitation force, which is equivalent to a sound pressure of 100 dB SPL at high frequencies.

T Koike; H Wada; F Ito; K Takayama; T Kobayashi
JSME INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL SERIES C-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MACHINE ELEMENTS AND MANUFACTURING, JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 46, 4, 1434-1440, Dec. 2003, Peer-reviwed, In this study, the tympanic membrane (TM) of the guinea pig was exposed to a blast wave generated by micro-explosion of 10 mg silver azide, and the time history of TM rupture was recorded using a high-speed video camera. The relationship between the process of TM rupture and the peak pressure of the blast wave was then examined. The critical value which caused the TM rupture was found to be 192 dB SPL (79.6 kPa), and when this level of pressure was applied to the TM, tears were immediately caused in the radial direction, although they did not subsequently expand. When pressures above 195 dB SPL (112 kPa) were applied to the TM, it suffered a perforation, and this perforation. continued to expand for several milliseconds, even after disappearance of the pressure change caused by the blast wave.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AUDIOLOGY, INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 42, 3, 117-131, Apr. 2003, Peer-reviwed, The aim of this study is to investigate the middle ear dynamic characteristics and their influence on TEOAEs in patients with middle ear disorders. The middle ear dynamic characteristics and TEOAE findings were investigated in 89 patients with middle ear disorders using the sweep frequency impedance (SFI) meter and the ILO88 system, respectively. These patients were divided into six subcategories: tympanic membrane aberrations, otitis media with effusion, chronic otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, and ossicular chain dislocation. Details of the TEOAE frequency characteristics were compared with the individual's middle ear dynamic characteristics. TEOAE status as a function of hearing threshold and middle ear dynamic characteristics was also examined. The results showed that the middle ear dynamic characteristics in patients with middle ear disorders correlated with the TEOAE frequency characteristics and amplitudes. The hearing level and middle ear mobility were the controlling factors affecting TEOAE status. Using both non-linear and linear stimulus modes, larger TEOAE responses were obtained when the hearing level was better than 20 dB HL, and there was moderately good middle ear mobility. Moreover, TEOAEs were absent using the non-linear mode when the hearing level was worse than 30 dB HL, whereas with the linear mode, TEOAEs were recordable even with hearing losses of up to 40 dB HL in patients with middle ear disorders. A higher incidence of recordable TEOAEs was found in the subgroups with tympanic membrane abnormalities and secretory otitis media when compared with the other subgroups. No TEOAEs were recordable in patients with chronic otitis media.

A Huber; T Koike; H Wada; Nandapalan, V; U Fisch
ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY, ANNALS PUBL CO, 112, 4, 348-355, Apr. 2003, Peer-reviwed, In the search for possible causes of unfavorable results after stapes surgery, the study reported here focused on the anterior mallear ligament, since it has been previously reported that partial mallear fixation (PMF) leads to functional failure in 38% of cases of stapes revision surgery. The aims of the study were to identify effective methods for the diagnosis of PMF and experimentally assess the conductive hearing loss that results from PMF. The study included vibration amplitude measurements of the ossicles by laser Doppler interferometry (LDI) in 19 patients and 5 fresh human temporal bone (TB) specimens. Analysis of their dynamic behavior was performed by finite element modeling (FEM). Similar, significant changes of manubrium vibration patterns for PMF were found by FEM calculations, in TB experiments, and in patients. We could identify PMF either before operation, using LDI, or during operation, by manual palpation. In the TB experiments and FEM calculations, the attenuation of the stapes displacement due to an isolated PMF was approximately 10 dB and frequency-dependent. Untreated anterior mallear ligament fixation produced a persistent air-bone gap of approximately 10 dB after stapedioplasty.

Individual differences in sound transmission characteristics of the middle ear and the construction of a database of the differences : FEM analysis
KOIKE Takuji; KONNO Kazuaki; WADA Hiroshi
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2003, 45-46, 2003, The size and mobility of the middle ear are different between individuals, and the effects of these differences on the middle ear transfer function have not been clarified. In this study, using finite-element middle-ear models, the effects of individual differences in size and mechanical properties of the middle ear on its transmission characteristics were analyzed. The individual differences in size of the middle ear were found to affect the transfer function, and the effects of size of the tympanic membrane were more remarkable than those of the ossicles. The effects of Young's modulus of the ligaments and tendons on the transfer function were significantly large compared to that of the size. It was suggested that the differences of each part of the middle ear independently affects the transfer function.

JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, ACOUSTICAL SOC AMER AMER INST PHYSICS, 111, 5, 2189-2199, May 2002, Peer-reviwed, "Time-averaged holography" and "holographic interferometry" enable recording of the complete vibration pattern of a surface within several seconds. The results appear in the form of fringes. Vibration amplitudes smaller than 100 nm are not readily measurable by these techniques, because such small amplitudes produce variations in gray level, but not fringes. In practice, to obtain clear fringes in these measurements, stimulus sound pressures higher than 100 dB SPL must be used. The phase of motion is also not obtainable from such fringe techniques. In this study, a sinusoidal phase modulation technique is described, which allows detection of both small amplitudes of motion and their phase from time-averaged speckle pattern interferometry. In this technique, the laser injection current is modulated and digital image processing is used to analyze the measured patterns. When the sound-pressure level of stimuli is between 70 and 85 dB SPL, this system is applied to measure the vibratory response of the tympanic membrane (TM) of guinea pig temporal bones at frequencies up to 4 kHz where complicated vibration modes are observed. The effect of the bulla on TM displacements is also quantified. Results indicate that this system is capable of measuring the nanometer displacements of the TM, produced by stimuli of 70 d13 SPL.

EAR AND HEARING, LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 23, 2, 150-158, Apr. 2002, Peer-reviwed, Objective: To investigate the middle ear dynamic characteristics in patients with otosclerosis using the sweep frequency impedance meter (SFI test) and conventional tympanometry, and also to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the SFI test for otosclerosis.
Design: The study was designed to collect a total of 25 (36 ears) consecutive patients with otosclerosis. All subjects followed a clinical protocol, which consisted of a hearing problem questionnaire, otoscopic examination, and audiometric measurements. These included pure tone audiometry, conventional tympanometry, and SFI test.
Results: In the SFI test, the middle ear dynamic characteristics were measured in terms of the resonance frequency and middle ear mobility. Three distinct categories of middle ear dynamic characteristics were found in patients with otosclerosis, i.e., high stiffness, normal stiffness, and low stiffness middle ear status. On comparison of the results of SFI with conventional tympanometry, a significantly higher percentage of abnormal stiffness was found when using the SFI test than that when using conventional tympanometry.
Conclusions: The present findings confirm the advantage of the SFI test over conventional tympanometry in detecting middle ear status and mechanics in patients with otosclerosis. Moreover, different middle ear dynamic characteristics in patients with otosclerosis are most likely to be related to the different stages of the pathological changes.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2002, 129-130, 2002, It is important to evaluate stapes mobility in tympanoplasty surgery, because it affects the prognosis of improvement of the hearing level. In this study, a new hand-guided apparatus was developed by assembling a small-sized force sensor and a hydraulic micromanipulator. Then, the mobility of stapes in humans was measured. In addition, the nobilities of incus and malleus in guinea pigs are also measured under the condition that the stapes was artificially fixed with glue being applied to the annular ligament to simulate otosclerosis. The load-displacement curve obtained from the normal stapes was different from that obtained from the fixed stapes. This result suggests that a surgeon can quantitatively analyze stapes mobility with this apparatus during surgery.

However, the dynamic characteristics of guinea pig middle ear have not been fully understood. In this study, a finite-element model of the middle ear of a guinea pig was established, and the sound-transfer mechanism of the middle ear was analyzed. Unknown mechanical properties of middle-ear parts were determined so that the tympanic membrane vibration obtained from the FEM resembled that obtained by using the electronic speckle pattern interferometry. The validity of this model was confirmed by comparing the ossicular vibration and the middle-ear sound transmission obtained by this model with those by measurements.
The guinea pig's middle ear was found to keep a flat sound transfer function in the frequency range from 1kHz to 5kHz by changing its vibration mode gradually.

The level of overpressure that causes TM rupture and the location of the rupture have been estimated in various animals under various experimental conditions. However, the process of TM rupture due to dynamic pressure has not been observed. In this study, the process of TM rupture in the guinea pig caused by a shock wave was recorded using a high-speed video system, and the time history of the pressure was simultaneously measured by a pressure gauge. Based on our findings, the reason for the existence of different TM rupture mechanisms, and the relationship between the rupture process and the peak pressure are here in discussed.

Effect of depth of conical-shaped tympanic membrane on middle-ear sound transmission
T Koike; H Wada; T Kobayashi
JSME INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL SERIES C-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MACHINE ELEMENTS AND MANUFACTURING, JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 44, 4, 1097-1102, Dec. 2001, Peer-reviwed, The shape of the tympanic membrane (TM) is often changed due to middle-ear diseases or middle-ear surgery. Although it is assumed that this change ill shape affects the sound transmission of the middle ear, the degree of this effect remains unclear. In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models of the middle ear with different depths of the conical-shaped portion of the TM were established, and the effects of the depth, Young's modulus and thickness of the TM on middle-ear sound transmission were analyzed. The efficiency of sound transmission was found to decrease when the depth of the conical-shaped portion of the TM decreased because of a decline in the efficiency of transmission of the vibration of the TM to the ossicles. The transfer function was also influenced by the Young's modulus and thickness of the TM. Thus, when substitutional materials, whose Young's modulus or thickness was appropriately greater than those of the normal TM, were used in TM reconstruction, the efficiency improved, even if its shape was flat.

HEARING RESEARCH, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 154, 1-2, 158-164, Apr. 2001, Peer-reviwed, In tympanoplasty, it is essential to know the condition of the stapes. However, it has been difficult to evaluate stapes mobility in routine measurement. With the eve on improving future clinical practice, in this study we developed a new, easy system of measuring stapes mobility quantitatively and, as a first step, applied it to measurement of the relationship between the load and displacement of the stapes in guinea pigs and rabbits. The stapes displacement increased linearly with an increase in load in the small displacement region, and increased nonlinearly in the large displacement region. The slope of the regression line of this stiffness curve in the small displacement region was used as an index of the stapes mobility. The values in the guinea pigs and rabbits were 16 +/- 7 N/m and 115 +/- 25 N/m. respectively. A significant difference between the two species was observed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

F-0803 Dynamic Characteristics of the Middle Ear with Partial Fixation of Anterior Malleal Ligament
KOIKE Takuji; WADA Hiroshi; KOBAYASHI Toshimitsu; Huber Alexander M.
The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1, 5-6, 2001, The middle ear plays an important role in auditory mechanics, transmitting sound signals efficiently from the ear canal to the cochlea. If ligaments, which support ossicles, become fixed, conductive hearing loss occurs. A diagnosis of these fixations of the ligaments is difficult. Especially, as the anterior malleal ligament (AML) is a tiny ligament, its fixation is often overlooked. In this study, the effect of the AML fixation on the middle-ear vibration was analyzed by using a finite-element model of the middle ear and by measuring vibrations of temporal bones with a laser Doppler interferometer. Then, based on our findings, a diagnostic method for detecting the AML fixation was suggested.

However, the factors, which improve the acoustic performance of the prostheses, have not been clarified, because it is difficult to compare the different types of prosthesis under the same middle ear condition. In this study, three-dimensional models of wire-piston stapes prostheses made of Teflon, titanium or gold were established using finite element method. Then, the effects of the piston diameter and materials on the middle car transfer function were analyzed. Also, the effect of the stiffness of the tissue, which filled the gap between the piston and footplate, on the transfer function was examined.

The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2000, 501-502, 2000, To clarify the mechanism of the cochlea, simulations using a mathematical or electrical circuital cochlear model have been performed by many researchers. However, in most of their models, the cochlea was assumed to be straight to simplify their simulations, although the mammalian cochlea is a spiral-shaped duct. A few researchers have already established the spiral cochlear models, but the effects of spiral shape of cochlea are still unclear. In this study, a three-dimensional model of the guinea pig cochlea was established, and numerical simulations were performed using the finite element method (FEM). To examine the effect of the spiral shape of cochlea on its mechanics, the numerical results obtained from the spiral-shaped model were compared with those from the straight model. It was found that the basilar membrane (BM) velocity amplitude and the vibration mode of the BM along the transverse direction in the spiral model were different from those of the straight model.

FUNCTION AND MECHANICS OF NORMAL, DISEASED AND RECONSTRUCTED MIDDLE EARS, KUGLER PUBLICATIONS BV, 309-320, 2000, Peer-reviwed, Many middle ear prostheses are available for the reconstruction of missing or damaged ossicles. However, there are few studies that investigate the acoustic properties of these prostheses, and there is no information available that could lead to the design and development of better ossicular replacement prostheses. In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models of a human intact middle ear and reconstructed middle ears using different types of incus replacement prosthesis are established, and an attempt is made to clarify the optimum method for reconstructing the middle ear. Prostheses with a high degree of stiffness, connecting the stapes head to either the malleus manubrium or near to the center of the tympanic membrane, give the best acoustic performance.

FUNCTION AND MECHANICS OF NORMAL, DISEASED AND RECONSTRUCTED MIDDLE EARS, KUGLER PUBLICATIONS BV, 309-320, 2000, Peer-reviwed, Many middle ear prostheses are available for the reconstruction of missing or damaged ossicles. However, there are few studies that investigate the acoustic properties of these prostheses, and there is no information available that could lead to the design and development of better ossicular replacement prostheses. In this study, three-dimensional finite-element models of a human intact middle ear and reconstructed middle ears using different types of incus replacement prosthesis are established, and an attempt is made to clarify the optimum method for reconstructing the middle ear. Prostheses with a high degree of stiffness, connecting the stapes head to either the malleus manubrium or near to the center of the tympanic membrane, give the best acoustic performance.

JSME INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL SERIES C-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MACHINE ELEMENTS AND MANUFACTURING, JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 42, 3, 753-758, Sep. 1999, Peer-reviwed, The objective of the present study is to clarify the dynamic behavior of the middle ear by measuring the middle ear vibration directly. The velocity amplitudes of the tympanic membrane and ossicles of guinea pigs are measured before and after the manipulation of the cochlea and bulla using a laser Doppler velocimeter coupled to a compound microscope. The frequency characteristics of the middle ear vibration after the manipulation are different from those before it. These differences are explained by considering mass and damping components of the cochlear impedance and mass and stiffness components of the bulla's impedance.

Audiology Japan, Japan Audiological Society, 42, 4, 237-242, 1999, Peer-reviwed, The effect of the middle ear reflex (MER) on cochlear microphonics (CM) and middle ear impedance has been reported. However, its effect on ossicular vibrations has not been clarified. In this study, using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV), ossicular vibrations of guinea pigs and rabbits were measured directly when contralateral stimuli were presented to induce the MER. The measured results revealed that the amplitude of ossicular vibrations decreased with an increase in the stimulus intensity, and that the attenuation of ossicular vibrations at low frequencies was larger than at high frequencies. Also, from these results, the mode change of the ossicular vibrations before and after stimulation was speculated.

H Wada; T Koike; T Kobayashi
EAR AND HEARING, LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 19, 3, 240-249, Jun. 1998, Peer-reviwed, Objective: To develop a measuring apparatus that has the ability to sweep both frequency and external auditory meatus static pressure and can display measurement results in a three-dimensional expression. To measure the middle ear dynamic characteristics of normal-hearing subjects and of patients with this apparatus.
Design: Investigate 275 ears of 153 normal-hearing subjects and 72 ears with middle ear diseases.
Results: The measurement results show fairly distinctive patterns depending on the middle ear conditions, i.e., normal, ossicular chain separation, ossicular chain fixation, secretory otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, and tympanic membrane atelectasis. The evaluation of patients with ossicular diseases revealed that the rate of correct diagnosis of ossicular chain separation is 84% and that of ossicular chain fixation is 74%. These diagnoses were confirmed by surgery.
Conclusion: Displaying the measurement results in a three-dimensional expression is helpful to make correct diagnosis in clinical practice. It is especially easy to make a distinction between the ossicular chain separation and ossicular chain fixation. Therefore, it is concluded that this apparatus has a high degree of clinical applicability to the diagnosis of these diseases.

Audiology Japan, Japan Audiological Society, 41, 4, 296-303, 1998, Peer-reviwed, As middle ear diseases affect the vibration mode of the tympanic membrane, it is necessary for a correct diagnosis to measure the tympanic membrane vibration precisely. Although some techniques for the measurement of the tympanic membrane vibration has already been developed, they need high SPL for measurement, and the phase information is not obtainable by those techniques. Therefore, in this study, using the time-averaged electronic speckle pattern interferometry and sinusoidal phase modulation technique, an attempt is made to develop a system for measuring a small vibration sensitively. Then, the vibratory responses of guinea pigs' tympanic membranes are measured by this system. The results of this study indicate that the vibration amplitude is detectable in nanometer order even when the stimulus level is small, e. g. 70dB SPL and phase information is also obtainable. Consequently, the system developed in this study has a potential for clinical application.

Audiology Japan, Japan Audiological Society, 41, 6, 740-745, 1998, Peer-reviwed, In order to treat secretory otitis media (SOM), numerous types of ventilation tube have been used. The ventilation tubes were designed with the aim of long-term ventilation of the middle ear. However, there are few studies which investigate the effect of tube insertion on the transmission characteristics of the middle ear.
In this study, three-dimensional finite-element method (FEM) model of a human middle ear is established by applying the FEM program developed by our group. Then, the effects of the materials and the site of placement of the ventilation tube on the transmission characteristics of the middle ear are analyzed. The following conclusions were obtained: (1) Low density materials such as silicone are suitable for ventilation tube. (2) When a light-weighed ventilation tube is used, the effect of the site of placement is small. When a relative heavy ventilation tube is used, the best site of placement is the antero-inferior quadrano.

Dynamic behavior of the human middle ear: A finite‐element method (FEM) analysis

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 100, 4, 2785-718, 1996, Peer-reviwed, A few investigations of finite‐element method (FEM) application to the analysis of the middle ear have already been reported [Funnell et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 81, 1851–1859 (1987)
K. R. Williams and T. H. J. Lesser, Br. J. Audiol. 24, 319–327 (1990)]. However, in the models of these studies, ossicles and middle ear cavities were neglected, and their effects on the dynamic behavior of the middle ear have not been analyzed. In this study, first, applying the authors’ own FEM program, a three‐dimensional FEM model of a human auditory periphery was established. Then, vibration modes and transfer functions of the middle ear were obtained. The following conclusions can be drawn. (1) The vibration mode of the tympanic membrane and ossicles changes considerably due to the elastic ligament support of the ossicles. (2) This change enables the transfer function of the middle ear to keep flat. (3) The effect of the cavities on the dynamic behavior of the middle ear is large
the amplitude of the tympanic membrane vibration after opening the cavities is nearly two times larger than that before opening them. © 1996, Acoustical Society of America. All rights reserved.

Effect of middle ear on otoacoustic emissions
H Wada; K Ohyama; T Kobayashi; T Koike; S Noguchi
AUDIOLOGY, B C DECKER INC, 34, 4, 161-176, Jul. 1995, Peer-reviwed, Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are believed to originate from outer hair cell movement and are considered to be transmitted to the external auditory meatus through the middle ear in a retrograde fashion. Therefore, the effect of the middle-ear on OAEs seems to be large. However, few investigations of middle-ear effects on OAEs have been published because no apparatus that can measure the middle-ear dynamic characteristics is easily available except a conventional impedance meter. We developed a sweep frequency impedance meter (SFI) which gives us much more information on middle-ear dynamic characteristics than a conventional impedance meter, In this paper, applying SFI and 3 OAE measuring apparatuses, middle-ear dynamic characteristics and different sorts of OAEs of human subjects and guinea pigs were measured, and an attempt was made to examine the relationship between OAEs and middle-ear dynamic characteristics from various aspects. It is concluded that frequency characteristics of OAEs correlate well with middle-ear frequency characteristics; and middle-ear effect on OAEs must be taken into account when OAE data are analyzed.

The effect of aging on middle ear dynamic characteristics
Hiroshi Wada; Takuji Koike; Toshimitsu Kobayashi
Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 97, 5, 898-904, 1994, Peer-reviwed, The effect of aging on middle ear function has not been investigated thoroughly, as there is no simple measuring apparatus except for the conventional impedance meter (IM). However, the reliability of the IM is insufficient, because the stimulus frequency is fixed and the information provided by the IM is minimal. We have developed a sweep frequency middle ear analyzer (MEA), which provides much more information on middle ear dynamic characteristics than a conventional IM, and have obtained various measurements with this device. In this paper, middle ear dynamic characteristics of 187 normal subjects (309 ears) ranging from a 4-year-old child to an elderly person, 79 years old, were measured with the MEA in the middle ear resonance frequency region where dynamic characteristics can be seen clearly, and the effect of aging on middle ear dynamic characteristics was examined. The main results obtained were as follows: Middle ear mobilities tend to increase up to the twenties, then decrease up to the forties. Subsequently, a clear difference between those of males and females is observed. The middle ear mobilities of males decrease gradually with an increase in age. In contrast, although the standard deviation values are large, those for females tend to rise with increasing age. © 1994, The Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. All rights reserved.

AUDIOLOGY, DECKER PERIODICALS INC, 32, 5, 282-292, Sep. 1993, Peer-reviwed, Evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) are considered to originate from outer hair cell movement and to be transmitted to the external auditory meatus through the ossicular chain and eardrum in a retrograde fashion. Therefore, the effect of the middle ear on EOAEs seems to be large. A sweep frequency middle-ear analyzer (MEA) has been developed that gives much more information on middle-ear dynamic characteristics than a conventional impedance meter. In this paper, applying our own EOAE measuring system and the MEA, EOAEs and middle-ear dynamic characteristics of normal subjects were measured, and an attempt was made to clarify the relationship between EOAEs and middle-ear dynamic characteristics. It is concluded that EOAEs are detected most distinctly at the middle-ear resonance frequency and that EOAEs are most detectable in normal subjects whose middle-ear mobility is moderate.

1F41 Simulation of endolymphatic hydrops : Analysis using the finite element cochlear model considering activity of outer hair cells
LEE Sinyoung; HASHIMOTO Takuya; KOIKE Takuji
Endolymphatic hydrops is a disorder of inner ear and is associated with abnormal fluctuations in the endolymph fluid. These fluctuations cause an increase of pressure in scala media of the cochlea. The symptoms of endolymphatic hydrops include hearing loss especially at low frequencies and balance problems. To investigate the reason of hearing loss at low frequencies, we aim to analyze endolymphatic hydrops with the finite element cochlear model which is considered activity of outer hair cells. At first, we developed models of endolymphatic hydrops by loading static pressure in scala media. Each pressure of model is 10, 100, 500 Pa. Next, we analyzed the normal cochlear model and the endolymphatic models with loading sound pressure at frequency of 125 Hz to 2 kHz. As the results, the displacement of the basilar membrane of the endolymphatic hydrops model was smaller than the numerical result obtained from the normal cochlear model at low frequencies under 500 Hz. Also, characteristic frequency of the endolymphatic model was not matched with characteristic frequency of the normal cochlear model at low frequencies. These results show that increase of pressure in scala media might cause hearing loss at low frequencies., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 09 Jan. 2016, バイオエンジニアリング講演会講演論文集, 2016, 28, "1F41-1"-"1F41-5", Japanese, 110010052102, AA11903175

J024016 Development of detecting system for approaching object mimicking bat's echolocation
OKAYASU Maia; YABE Shinichirou; KOIKE Takuji
Bats can receive the detailed information of velocity of objects by using echolocation without depending on visual. Bat's ears sensitively respond to particular frequency, and this is an important factor for bats to use echolocation. In this study, by mimicking bat's echolocation, a detecting system for approaching objects by using ultrasound was developed. This system will assist daily life of visually-impaired peoples in place of white cane. This system consists of a speaker, a microphone and a feedback program including lock-in amplifier program. Sound is emitted from the speaker, and the reflected sound from an object is detected by the microphone. When the distance between the speaker and the object decreases and relative velocity is generated, the frequency of the reflected sound increases. In order to keep the frequency of the reflected sound detected by the microphone constant, the system adjusts the frequency of emitted sound from the speaker. The relative velocity between the speaker and the object can be known by checking the frequency of the emitted sound. When the motion a pendulum was measured by this system, the approaching velocity and the cycle of the pendulum were accurately evaluated., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 08 Sep. 2013, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2013, "J024016-1"-"J024016-5", Japanese, 110009934607, AA12588255

J024022 Preliminary study for development of sound stimulation system with piezoelectric vibrator for auditory test of fetus
OTAKI Naoya; KOIKE Takuji; MATSUOKA Rina; IKEDA Katsuhisa
Congenital deafness of human has possibilities to progress during embryonic life, and it becomes to be serious after birth in many cases. However, if causal factors of congenital deafness are identified, its progress may be prevented, and new cures may be introduced. As preliminary study for auditory test of fetus, the maternal abdomen was modeled, and sound pressure level near the auditory organ of fetus in the model was measured when the abdomen wall was vibrated with a piezo electric vibrator. The relationship between sound stimulation level applied to fetus and input voltage to the piezoelectric vibrator was investigated. The result showed the sound pressure level near the auditory organ of fetus was controlled by the input voltage regardless of the amount of amniotic fluid. The sound pressure levels were measured with changing the position of the vibrator. The result suggests that the vibrator should be placed on the abdomen wall just above the auditory organ of fetus to stabilize the stimulus level applied to the fetus., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 08 Sep. 2013, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2013, "J024022-1"-"J024022-5", Japanese, 110009935152, AA12588255

J024023 Study of transcutaneous signal transmission system for bone conduction hearing aid
TANAKA Eri; TACHI Ryosuke; KOIKE Takuji; KANZAKI Sho; HATO Naohito
In the preliminary research, a new partially implantable bone conduction hearing aid using giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) for transducer has been proposed. The hearing aid is implanted under the skin of a patient's temporal bone. The hearing aid consists of an external unit, i.e., a microphone, a sound processor and a transmitting coil, and of an internal unit i.e., a receiving coil and a transducer (bone vibrator). The internal unit and the external unit are completely separated, and sound signals are transmitted from the external unit to the internal unit by percutaneously using mutual induction. GMM is a metal material which changes its length according to change of magnetic field. However, the powers of the hearing aid at low frequencies are inadequate. In this paper, amplitude modulation (AM) was introduced to the signal transmission to improve the performance of the hearing aid. The excitation force of the hearing aid generated by AM wave was higher than that by sine wave particularly at low frequencies. This result suggests that efficiency of transducer can be more improved by AM using high-frequency carrier waves., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 08 Sep. 2013, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2013, "J024023-1"-"J024023-4", Japanese, 110009935153, AA12588255

In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid with an external unit and an internal unit is proposed In the preliminary research, although the transducer using giant magnetostrictive material (GMM transducer) was developed, the power in lower frequency range was inadequate In this study, to improve the performance the implanted magnet used for fixing the external unit was utilized as a transducer for lower frequency range (magnet transducer), and its performance was investigated The frequency response of the amplitude of the artificial model of the temporal bone generated by the magnet transducer was higher than that by the GMM transducer in lower frequencies The frequency response of the amplitude of the cadaver head generated by the magnet transducer was lower than that of the temporal bone model These results suggest that although the magnet transducer has the potential of compensating for deficiencies of the GMM transducer in lower frequency range, it needs to be improved to generate bigger excitation force, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 09 Sep. 2012, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2012, "J241012-1"-"J241012-4", Japanese, 110009995069, AA12588255

J022013 Simulation of the effects of cochlear-implant electrode insertion on vibration of the cochlea
HANAWA Shintaro; SAKASHITA Tasuku; KOIKE Takuji; KUMAKAWA Kozo
Cochlear implant is a device that provides electrical stimulation directly to the cochlea. Stimulation pulses emitted from the inserted electrode is transmitted to the brain through the auditory nerves in the cochlea. Some patients with significant hearin g loss still have residual hearing for low frequencies. An attempt has been made to amplify acoustic sound at low frequencies with a conventional hearing aid and to apply electrical stimulation for the middle and high frequencies with the cochlear implant. This device is called the electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS). In this study, the electrode for the electric-acoustic stimulation was optimized by using a three dimensional finite-element model of the human cochlea. Dynamic behavior of the basilar membrane (BM) and the cochlear fluid caused by the vibration of the stapes footplate were analyzed. The effect of the Young's modulus of the electrode on the vibration of the BM was examined by modeling the electrode in the cochlea model. The results suggest that BM has large amplitude at low frequencies and the residual hearing is preserved by reducing the stiffness of the base of the electrode., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 09 Sep. 2012, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2012, "J022013-1"-"J022013-4", Japanese, 110009993270, AA12588255

G020033 Effects of the shape of the basilar membrane on mechanical frequency discrimination in the cochlea
SANO Takuma; KOIKE Takuji
The basilar membrane (BM) plays an important role for sound reception in the cochlea because the BM has frequency discrimination characteristics. Echolocating bats can perceive objects in the environment by emitting ultrasonic sound. Therefore, the frequency discrimination of the echolocating bats is presumably more highly accurate than that of humans. The shape of the BM of the echolocating bats is different from that of humans, and its thickness changes remarkably at the base. To clarify the effects of the shape of the BM with respect to frequency discrimination performance, two types of finite-element models of the cochlea were created, i, e, the human model (H model) and the modified human model (MH model). The shape of the BM of MH model was modified considering the aspect ratio of the BM (thickness/width) of a horseshoe bat which is a species of echolocating bat. The traveling wave on the BM was found to have only one peak at the input frequencies in the H model. By contrast, two peaks were observed in the MH model around 3 kHz or 9 kHz The maximum amplitude position of the BM shifted greatly in the MH model because the amplitude ratio of the two peaks was reversed. This result suggests that the shape of the BM can affect frequency discrimination performance., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 09 Sep. 2012, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2012, "G020033-1"-"G020033-4", Japanese, 2424-2667, 201402283175023554, 110009994112, AA12588255

Bone-conduction hearing aids have better sound quality and higher sound pressure than air-conduction hearing aids. In this study, a new subcutaneously implanted bone-conduction hearing aid is proposed and evaluated. A vibrator of the hearing aid is composed of giant magnetostrictive material (GMM). The vibrator is implanted into the temporal bone of patients with hearing loss and generates the bone conduction sound. In this study, the vibrator was implanted into the temporal bone of the cadavers and its fundamental properties were examined.

When ligaments and tendons which support the ossicles in middle ear are fixed due to increasing age or pathological abnormality, conductive hearing loss occurs. To treat the conductive hearing loss, the ossicular mobility should be recovered by surgery. However, specification of the region of fixation and evaluation of the extent of fixation are difficult, because available measurement instruments for the ossicular mobilities are big and expensive and are not suitable for use during surgery. In this study, a force sensor in the measurement probe was downsized and improved. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism of the force sensor was developed and evaluated., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 25 Sep. 2011, マイクロ・ナノ工学シンポジウム, 2011, 3, 59-60, Japanese, 110009664138, AA12456946

AE Source Location Using Neural Network on AE Evaluation of Floor conditions in Above-Ground Tank
MURAKAMI Sayuri; HOMMA Kyoji; KOIKE Takuji; YAMADA Minoru; YUYAMA Shigenori
Present study reports acoustic emission (AE) technique to evaluate corrosion damages of bottom plates (floor conditions) in above-ground tanks. Artificial AE signals were generated by pencil lead breaks at arbitrary locations on the bottom of a tank (300 kL in capacity) to investigate accuracy of AE source location. Attenuation of AE waves was shown to be very small in liquid. AE source location analysis was conducted, using a neural network (NN). Input and output units of the NN were arrival time differences between four AE sensors and coordinate of the AE source location, respectively. Arrival time differences of AE waves were determined by visual observation of the first signal arrivals and threshold crossing times of the AE signal normalized by its peak amplitude. It was concluded that accurate AE source location can be obtained by the decision process resulted from automated readings of threshold crossing time, based on the NN trained method by theoretical calculation., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2007, Jarnal of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering, 1, 7, 919-930, English, 1880-9871, 130000078893

20603 Conduction path of the sound directly applied to a bone
SUZUKI Akira; KOIKE Takuji; HOMMA Kyoji
When a bone is vibrated by a vibrator, we can perceive a sound even if conductive hearing loss exists. The applied vibration is supposed to be transmitted to the cochlea through the temporal bone, and this path is called bone-conduction. However, the real paths of the vibration have not been clarified. In this study, loudness of the sound perceived by a subject and the sound pressure generated in the external ear canal were measured when the mastoid was vibrated by a piezoelectric vibrator. The vibration applied to the mastoid was found to generate sound pressure in the external ear canal, the level of which was nearly equal to the perceived sound level. This result suggests that a subject with normal middle ear perceives the airconducted sound through the middle ear particularly at low frequency., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 17 Mar. 2005, 日本機械学会関東支部総会講演会講演論文集, 2005, 11, 149-150, Japanese, 110006205719, AA11902161

Dynamic Behavior of the Basilar Membrane in the Cochlea : FEM Analysis Using Spiral Shaped Cochlea Model
SEKINE Masanao; WADA Hiroshi; KOIKE Takuji
To clarify the mechanism of the cochlea, simulations using a mathematical or electrical circuital cochlear model have been performed by many researchers. However, in the most of their models, the cochlea was assumed to be straight to simplify their simulations, although the mammalian cochlea has a spiral-shaped duct. A few researchers have already established the spiral cochlear models, but the effects of spiral shape of cochlea are still unclear. In this study, a three-dimensional model of the guinea pig cochlea was established, and numerical simulations were performed using the finite element method(FEM). To examine the effect of the spiral shape of the cochlea on its dynamic behavior, the numerical results obtained from the spiral-shaped model were compared with those from the straight model. It was found that the basilar membrane(BM) velocity amplitude and the vibration mode of the BM along the transverse direction in the spiral model were different from those of the straight model., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 16 Aug. 2000, Technical report of IEICE.

Within the present study, the influence of changes in the middle ear dynamic characteristics on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions(TEOAEs)was investigated in 88 subjects(126 ears)with common middle ear disorders using a sweep frequency impedance meter(SFI). Certain type and degree of middle ear pathologies resulted in dramatic changes of the middle ear dynamic characteristics showing in the SFI test. Moreover, TEOAE furequency spectrum characteristics and their amplitudes were closely related to the middle ear dynamic characteristics., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 15 Aug. 2000, Technical report of IEICE.

近赤外蛍光検査システムを応用した新しい嚥下機能評価に関する基礎的研究
吉見 佳那子; 小池 卓二; 道脇 幸博; 西村 吾朗; 戸原 玄; 中川 量晴
日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 東京医科歯科大学, 基盤研究(C), 本年度は、まず、蛍光計測法の有用性評価のための予備実験を実施した。 牛肉ブロックとバルーンカテテールを用いてヒトの咽頭の梨状窩を再現し作成したファントムと、ヤギの頭頸部標本を使用した。実験項目は、①近赤外線ファイバおよび蛍光検出ファイバを取り付けたプローブの頚部への照射角の設定、②咽頭通過する食物中の蛍光を計測可能な蛍光強度積算時間の設定、③咽頭残留を計測する最適スパンの検討、である。その結果、①光プローブと頚部の接触角度が蛍光強度可否に大きく影響すること、②嚥下時に食塊が咽頭を通過する速度での蛍光検出は深さ25mmまでは可能であること、③最適スパンは10mmから20mmであること、がわかった。 また、人を対象とした計測では蛍光計測と嚥下造影検査を同時に実施する予定であったため、ICG入り検査食に硫酸バリウムやとろみ剤を混和した場合に、蛍光強度に影響するか調査した。その結果、混和前と比較し混和後は蛍光強度が大きくなる傾向が見られたが、検査自体には支障はないことがわかった。 予備実験終了後、実際に嚥下障害患者を対象とし計測を実施した。対象は、東京医科歯科大学病院摂食嚥下リハビリテーション外来を受診する嚥下障害患者4名である。嚥下時の蛍光計測および嚥下造影検査を同時に実施し、得られた蛍光強度と検査画像を対応させた。その結果、咽頭残留、咽頭通過の蛍光検出が可能であった。一方で、プローブの接触位置や接触強さが検出精度に影響するため、プローブ形態やセンサの感度を改良し、検査手技の簡易化と検出精度向上を検討する必要があることが示唆された。, 20K12741

Development of technologies for pest management and crop cultivation based on vibrational responses in pest insects and crops
Takanashi Takuma
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Forest Research and Management Organization, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Vibrational technologies applied to crop protection and cultivation are presented. Because vibrations modify behaviors in insect pests of tomatoes and mushrooms, vibrations can be exploited for physical pest management. In addition, vibrations promote pollination in tomatoes. Indeed, we revealed that vibrations decreased infestation of whitefly pests and increased yields of tomatoes in greenhouses installed with vibration exciters., 19KT0040

Hair bundle formation and tonotopy in genetic hearing loss models and the iPS cells
kamiya kazusaku
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Juntendo University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Recently, abnormalities in frequency discrimination have been observed in some patients with abnormal sound perception, but the cause of these abnormalities is unknown and there are no objective diagnostic criteria. We reported the mice with abnormal frequency discrimination and confirmed the predicted abnormal propagation of basal menbrane vibration from basal (high frequency) to apical (low frequency) rotation. We further elucidated the possible causes of this abnormality by simulating the cochlear model and suggested the possiblity that high frequency hearing loss model abnormally recognize the sound as a low frequency sound. Furthermore, by developing a technology to generate cochlear cells from iPS cells, they were able to reproduce the pathophysiology of hearing loss and succeeded in generating hair cells using the same method, which is expected to lead to clinical applications of inner ear cell therapy in the future., 18H02953

Study of noninvasive aspiration detection using fluorescence food
YAMADA YUKIO
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, The University of Electro-Communications, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Research (Exploratory), For the purpose of evaluating pulmonary aspiration, we have developed a technology to inspect food residue in the piriform sinus noninvasively and easily. When fluorescence food is remained in the piriform sinus, it can be detected by an optical probe attached to the skin for measuring fluorescence emitted from the food. Selection of fluorescence agent emitting near-infrared light with high penetration depth, development of an instrument having high sensitivity to near-infrared fluorescence as well as an optical probe, preliminary experiments using phantoms, and measurements for healthy elderly subjects were conducted. It was confirmed that fluorescence from the depth of about 25 mm was detectable, and fluorescence from fluorescence food remained in the piriform sinus of healthy elderly subjects were detected. Consequently, we have established the fundamental technology for inspecting food residue in the piriform sinus noninvasively and easily., 18K18448

Measurement of Doppler blood flow velocity in middle cerebral artery induced by sound stimulation in human fetuses
KASAI Misato; MATSUOKA Rina; KOIKE Takuji
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Juntendo University, Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), We developed a device for fetal auditory stimulus. Auditory signals generated by the function generator are amplified by the piezo-driver, and are input into the piezo-electric vibrator. The piezo-electric vibrator is placed on a pregnant-woman's abdominal surface facing towards the fetal head, and the vibration stimulus produced by the system reaches the fetus though the amniotic fluid. Prenatal Hearing Screening was applied to 30 healthy women in the period of 27 to 33 weeks gestational age. Burst tones were delivered though the piezo-electric device at an intensity of 75dB, frequency of 1000Hz, 2000Hz and 4000Hz. Brain circulation changes caused by the sound stimulation are registered in the middle cerebral artery. The changes in the pulsatility index (PI) of the fetal middle cerebral artery before and after sound exposure were measured by a Doppler ultrasound device. PI gradually decreased a time progressed. The change of the PI- induced sound stimulation was marked at 2000Hz., 26750167

日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 東北大学, 基盤研究(C), 従来、積極的な治療法がなく、その聴覚障害に対しては補聴器などにたよらざるをえなかった老人性難聴に対する新たな治療戦略の可能性1つとして、加齢による聴覚系の変性の神経栄養因子遺伝子導入による軽減が考えられる。今回は、モルモットを用い、線維芽細胞に神経栄養因子を永久的に発現させることができるか、また、遺伝子導入された細胞の蝸牛内への移植により老化変性を防止するかができるか否かを検討する目的で、以下の研究を実施した。 1 モルモット線維芽細胞への遺伝子永久発現の試み 臨床の老人性難聴の治療を考慮すると、遺伝子の永久発現が必須となる。今回は、ベクターとしてクロンテック社のpIREShrGFPをもちい、これにネオマイシン耐性遺伝子を選択マーカーとして導入し、個々のモルモットより採取した繊維芽細胞に永久的に遺伝子発現させるよう試みた。 2 レポータージーンを用いた細胞移植実験 さらに、老人性難聴の退行変性に対し、遺伝子を長期に安定的に発現させるため、蝸牛内に移植した線維芽細胞を長期に生存させる方法、すなわち、外リンバ内移植、あるいは内リンパ内移植をGFPによる蛍光をレポーターとして検討した。 現在までのところ、上記条件下の実験では、恒常的に永久的遺伝子発現を認めるには至らなかった。臨床応用を考えた治療戦略上、確実な遺伝子発現が必要となるであろう。, 14571604

Development of the program for analysis of the dynamic behavior of the organ of Corti
WADA Hiroshi; KOIKE Takuji; KAWASE Tetsuaki
Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Tohoku University, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), The organ of Corti (OC) in the cochlea transforms sounds into action potentials in auditory nerve fibers. As the extreme vulnerability to trauma exhibited by the cochlea prevents the experimental observation that could confirm the inherence in this process, the two-dimensional finite-element model of the OC was constructed. Using this model, the dynamic behavior of the OC was analyzed. As the DC is immersed in lymph fluid, the interaction between the OC and the lymph fluid must be taken into account when the dynamic behavior of the OC and fluid pressure distribution are numerically analyzed. However, the complex structure of the OC and the large difference in material properties between the fluid and the structure of the OC complicate modeling of the lymph-OC interaction using commercially available FEN applications. Therefore, the original program was developed to consider the fluid-structure interaction. When a fluid pressure fluctuation is induced by vibration of the stapes, two types of pressure waves occur in the cochlea. As the OC is driven by these pressure waves, it is important to understand their frequency characteristics. However, there have been no reports on empirical observations of these waves, because of the difficulty of measuring them independently. Using the model, the magnitude and phase of the fast and slow waves were predicted so as to fit the numerically obtained pressure distribution in the scala tympani with that of the intracochlea pressure measurement. Next, the dynamic behavior of the OC was analyzed when these predicted pressures were applied to the OC. The following conclusions can be drawn: 1. The magnitude of the fast wave increases with increasing frequency for the entire frequency range. The magnitude of the slow wave increases gradually with increasing frequency until it reaches a maximum at the characteristic frequency (CF), and it then falls sharply. 2. The OC shows a rotational movement around the end of the modiolus side of the basilar membrane., 13557142
