THE DE TRO IT JEWISH NEWS
OTOTOXIC EFFECT
48
For all the many benefits that it imparts
to its users, aspirin can adversely affect the
health of the ear. Many people (arthritis suf-
ferers, for example) who take large amounts
of this common over-the-counter medica-
tion report that they experience ringing in
their ears (tinnitus). Aspirin is not the only
medication to have an ototoxic effect (harm
caused to the organs or nerves concerned
with hearing and balance). Such antibiotics
as streptomycin and neomycin, and certain
diuretics (water pills) used to treat high blood
pressure can damage the hair cells and oth-
er important components of the inner ear.
Anyone who experiences hearing loss, tin-
nitus, or problems with balance while tak-
ing these or other medications should
immediately report the symptoms to the pre-
scribing physician.
If you are taking any of the medications
listed above, and feel that you might be ex-
periencing hearing loss, please consult with
your physician, and then come see us at
CRUZ HEARING AID SERVICE. Our staff
consists of very knowledgeable hearing in-
struments consultants who are state licensed
and have been working with hearing aids for
the past two decades. Our certified audiol-
ogist performs testing and evaluations on
all insurance covered clients. All staff mem-
bers want to make your experience here a
pleasant one. We are conveniently located
at 18899 W. 12 Mile Rd., in Lathrup Village
(424-8450).
P.S. Other ototoxic medications include
capreomycin, furosemide, and vancomycin
(among many others).

BONE page 44
In addition, the new study
showed that defective fibers are
unable to mineralize properly
and form the normal composite-
material structure that gives
bones their characteristic
strength and flexibility. The un-
mineralized fibers and abnor-
mally low collagen content
observed in the bones can ex-
plain some of the skeletal defor-
mations characteristic of CI.
It was also found that OI
bones exhibit hypermineraliza-
tion, the unsupervised growth of
calcium phosphate crystals in
clusters unrelated to the orga-
nized collagen structure, which
mediates the crystal organiza-
tion in normal bone. This patho-
logical mineralization can
explain the brittleness and
fragility of OI bones.
According to Professor Traub,
the two main components of bone
are the protein collagen — whose
long rope-like molecules pack to-
gether to form strong flexible
fibers — and small, hard crystals
of the mineral hydroxylapatite.
Without the collagen the bone
would be hard but brittle and
powdery. Together they form a
somewhat flexible, hard cohesive
composite material, analogous
to reinforced concrete.
A few years ago the group of
Weiner and Traub was the first
to describe the detailed organi-
zation of crystals and fibers in
bones. Their electron microscop-
ic studies documented the high-
ly organized ultrastructure
characteristic of bones, in which
the small plate-like mineral crys-
tals are located in parallel
grooves throughout the collagen
fibers, with the fibers being
packed in alternating layers in
a plywood-like arrangement.
This research provided the plat-
form for launching the current
study on pathologic bone struc-
ture in OI.
This study has been support-
ed by grants from the U.S. Pub-
lic Health Service, the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, and
the Bundesministerium fuer
Forschung and Technologie.
Professor Weiner holds the
I.W. Abel Chair of Structural Bi-
ology. ❑
