Abstract
Cisplatin is widely employed in clinical oncology as an anticancer chemotherapy drug in clinical practice and is known for its severe ototoxic side effects. Prior research indicates that the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a pivotal role in cisplatin's inner ear toxicity. Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside extracted from citrus fruits that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Nonetheless, the specific pharmacological actions of hesperidin in alleviating cisplatin-induced ototoxicity remain elusive. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a critical mediator of the cellular oxidative stress response, is influenced by hesperidin. Activation of Nrf2 was shown to have a protective effect against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. The potential of hesperidin to stimulate Nrf2 in attenuating cisplatin's adverse effects on the inner ear warrants further investigation. This study employs both in vivo and in vitro models of cisplatin ototoxicity to explore this possibility. Our results reveal that hesperidin mitigates cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by activating the Nrf2/NQO1 pathway in sensory hair cells, thereby reducing ROS accumulation, preventing hair cell apoptosis, and alleviating hearing loss.

Abstract
Nobiletin, a citrus polymethoxy flavonoid with antiapoptotic and antioxidative properties, could safeguard against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Cisplatin, as the pioneer of anti-cancer drug, the severe ototoxicity limits its clinical applications, while the effect of nobiletin on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity has not been identified. The current study investigated the alleviating effect of nobiletin on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and the underlying mechanisms. Apoptosis and ROS formation were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence, indicating that nobiletin attenuated cisplatin-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. LC3B and SQSTM1/p62 were determined by Western blotting, qPCR, and immunofluorescence, indicating that nobiletin significantly activated autophagy. Nobiletin promoted the nuclear translocation of NRF2 and the transcription of its target genes, including Hmox1, Nqo1, and ferroptosis markers (Gpx4, Slc7a11, Fth, and Ftl), thereby inhibiting ferroptosis. Furthermore, RNA sequencing analysis verified that autophagy, ferroptosis, and the NRF2 signaling pathway served as crucial points for the protection of nobiletin against ototoxicity caused by cisplatin. Collectively, these results indicated, for the first time, that nobiletin alleviated cisplatin-elicited ototoxicity through suppressing apoptosis and oxidative stress, which were attributed to the activation of autophagy and the inhibition of NRF2/GPX4-mediated ferroptosis. Our study suggested that nobiletin could be a prospective agent for preventing cisplatin-induced hearing loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of iron chelation in causing hearing loss (HL) is still unclear. The present study assessed the prevalence of HL among transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients who underwent audiological follow-up over a 20-year period. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical records and audiological tests from January 1990 (T0) to December 2022 (T22) of a group of TDT patients who received iron chelation therapy with deferoxamine (DFO), deferiprone (DFP) or deferasirox (DFX), in monotherapy or as part of combination therapy. RESULTS A total of 42 adult TDT patients (18 male, 24 female; age range: 41-55 years; mean age: 49.2 ± 3.7 years) were included in the study. At the T22 assessment, the overall prevalence of sensorineural HL was 23.8 % (10/42). When patients were stratified into two groups, with and without ototoxicity, no differences were observed for sex, age, BMI, creatinine level, pre-transfusional hemoglobin, start of transfusions, cardiac or hepatic T2 MRI; only ferritin serum values and duration of chelation were significantly higher (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively) in patients with hearing impairment in comparison to those with normal hearing. CONCLUSION This study with long-term follow-up suggests that iron chelation therapy might induce ototoxicity; therefore, a long and accurate audiological follow-up should be performed in TDT patients.

Abstract
AIM Cinchonine (CN) and its isomer cinchonidine (CD), two of the common cinchona alkaloids, are wildly used as antimalarial drugs. However, the effects of CN and CD on the auditory system are unknown. METHODS Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used for predicting effective drugs. The CCK-8 assay was conducted for assessing cell viability in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) cells. MitoSox Red staining revealed reactive oxygen species (ROS) amounts. TMRM staining was used to assess the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Immunofluorescence staining of myosin 7a was used to examine hair cells (HCs) in cisplatin-treated neonatal mouse cochlear explants, while TUJ-1 immunostaining was used for the detection of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Cleaved caspase-3 and TUNEL immunostaining were utilized for apoptosis assessment. Immunoblot was carried out to detect PI3K-AKT signaling effectors. RESULTS Pretreatment with CN or CD significantly increased cell viability and reduced mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS accumulation in cisplatin-treated HEI-OC1 cells. Immunofluorescent staining of cochlear explants showed that CN and CD attenuated cisplatin-induced damage to SGNs and HCs. Immunoblot revealed that CN and CD downregulated the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and activated PI3K-AKT signaling in cisplatin-injured HEI-OC1 cells. CONCLUSION CD and CN can reduce ototoxicity caused by cisplatin and might help treat cisplatin-associated hearing loss.

Abstract
The increased risk of hearing loss with macrolides remains controversial. We aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze data on the clinical risk of hearing loss, tinnitus, and ototoxicity following macrolide use. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases from database inception to May 2023. Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and text keywords were utilized, without any language restrictions. In addition to the electronic databases, two authors manually and independently searched for relevant studies in the US and European clinical trial registries and Google Scholar. Studies that involved (1) patients who had hearing loss, tinnitus, or ototoxicity after macrolide use, (2) intervention of use of macrolides such as azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, fidaxomicin, roxithromycin, spiramycin, and/or telithromycin, (3) comparisons with specified placebos or other antibiotics, (4) outcomes measured as odds ratio (OR), relative risk (RR), hazard ratio (HR), and mean difference for ototoxicity symptoms using randomized control trial (RCT)s and observational studies (case-control, cross-section, and cohort studies) were included. Data extraction was performed independently by two extractors, and a crosscheck was performed to identify any errors. ORs along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random-effects models. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses reporting guidelines for RCTs and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines for observational studies were followed. We assessed the hearing loss risk after macrolide use versus controls (placebos and other antibiotics). Based on data from 13 studies including 1,142,021 patients (n = 267,546 for macrolide and n = 875,089 for controls), the overall pooled OR was 1.25 (95% CI 1.07-1.47). In subgroup analysis by study design, the ORs were 1.37 (95% CI 1.08-1.73) for RCTs and 1.33 (95% CI 1.24-1.43) for case-control studies, indicating that RCT and case-control study designs showed a statistically significant higher risk of hearing loss. The group with underlying diseases such as multiple infectious etiologies (OR, 1.16 [95% CI 0.96-1.41]) had a statistically significant lower risk than the group without (OR, 1.53 [95% CI 1.38-1.70] P = .013). The findings from this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that macrolide antibiotics increase the risk of hearing loss and that healthcare professionals should carefully consider this factor while prescribing macrolides.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ototoxicity is a common disabling side effect of platinum-based chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the evidence on the management of platinum-induced ototoxicity in adult cancer patients. METHODS Four databases were searched up to 1 November 2022. Original studies were included if they reported on a pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic intervention to prevent or treat platinum ototoxicity in adults. The articles' quality was assessed via two grading scales. RESULTS Nineteen randomised controlled trials and five quasi-experimental studies with 1673 patients were analysed. Eleven interventions were identified, nine pharmacological and two non-pharmacological. Six of the interventions (sodium thiosulphate, corticoids, sertraline, statins, multivitamins and D-methionine) showed mild benefits in preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Only one trial assessed corticoids as a potential treatment. Overall, only six trials were deemed with a low risk of bias. The majority of studies inadequately documented intervention-related adverse effects, thereby limiting safety conclusions. CONCLUSIONS Current interventions have mild benefits in preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in adult cancer patients. Sodium thiosulphate is the most promising intervention as a preventive strategy. Rigorous, high-quality research is warranted, encompassing an evaluation of all potential symptoms and innovative treatment modalities.

Abstract
Radiation-induced ototoxicity is associated with inflammation response and excessive reactive oxygen species in the cochlea. However, the effectiveness of many drugs in clinical settings is limited due to anatomical barriers in the inner ear and pharmacokinetic instability. To address this issue, we developed an injectable hydrogel called RADA32-HRN-dexamethasone (RHD). The RHD hydrogel possesses self-anti-inflammatory properties and can self-assemble into nanofibrous structures, ensuring controlled and sustained release of dexamethasone in the local region. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the uptake of FITC-conjugated RHD gel by hair cells increased in a time-dependent manner. Compared to free dexamethasone solutions, dexamethasone-loaded RHD gel achieved a longer and more controlled release profile of dexamethasone. Additionally, RHD gel effectively protected against the inflammatory response, reduced excessive reactive oxygen species production, and reversed the decline in mitochondrial membrane potentials induced by ionizing radiation, leading to attenuation of apoptosis and DNA damage. Moreover, RHD gel promoted the recovery of outer hair cells and partially restored auditory function in mice exposed to ionizing radiation. These findings validated the protective effects of RHD gel against radiation-induced ototoxicity in both cell cultures and animal models. Furthermore, RHD gel enhanced the activity of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, which was inhibited by ionizing radiation, thereby promoting the survival of hair cells. Importantly, intratympanic injections of RHD gel exhibited excellent biosafety and do not interfere with the anti-tumor effects of radiotherapy. In summary, our study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of injectable dexamethasone-loaded RHD hydrogel for the treatment of radiation-induced hearing loss by regulating the mTOR signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND Cisplatin is commonly used to treat solid tumors; however, its use can be complicated by drug-induced hearing loss (ie, ototoxicity). The presence of certain genetic variants has been associated with the development/occurrence of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, suggesting that genetic factors may be able to predict patients who are more likely to develop ototoxicity. The authors aimed to review genetic associations with cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and discuss their clinical relevance. METHODS An updated systematic review was conducted on behalf of the Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. Pharmacogenomic studies that reported associations between genetic variation and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity were included. The evidence on genetic associations was summarized and evaluated, and knowledge gaps that can be used to inform future pharmacogenomic studies identified. RESULTS Overall, 40 evaluated reports, considering 47 independent patient populations, captured associations involving 24 genes. Considering GRADE criteria, genetic variants in 2 genes were strongly (ie, odds ratios ≥3) and consistently (ie, replication in ≥3 independent populations) predictive of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Specifically, an ACYP2 variant has been associated with ototoxicity in both children and adults, whereas TPMT variants are relevant in children. Encouraging evidence for associations involving several other genes also exists; however, further research is necessary to determine potential clinical relevance. CONCLUSIONS Genetic variation in ACYP2 and TPMT may be helpful in predicting patients at the highest risk of developing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Further research (including replication studies considering diverse pediatric and adult patient populations) is required to determine whether genetic variation in additional genes may help further identify patients most at risk.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent with proven efficacy in treating various malignancies, including testicular, ovarian, cervical, breast, bladder, head and neck, and lung cancer. Cisplatin is also used to treat tumors in children, such as neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma. However, its clinical use is limited by severe side effects, including ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, and retinal toxicity. Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity manifests as irreversible, bilateral, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss in 40-60% of adults and in up to 60% of children. Hearing loss can lead to social isolation, depression, and cognitive decline in adults, and speech and language developmental delays in children. Cisplatin causes hair cell death by forming DNA adducts, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, culminating in programmed cell death by apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, or ferroptosis. Contemporary medical interventions for cisplatin ototoxicity are limited to prosthetic devices, such as hearing aids, but these have significant limitations because the cochlea remains damaged. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first therapy, sodium thiosulfate, to prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss in pediatric patients with localized, non-metastatic solid tumors. Other pharmacological treatments for cisplatin ototoxicity are in various stages of preclinical and clinical development. This narrative review aims to highlight the molecular mechanisms involved in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, focusing on cochlear inflammation, and shed light on potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapeutic interventions to prevent or mitigate the ototoxic effects of cisplatin. We conducted a comprehensive literature search (Google Scholar, PubMed) focusing on publications in the last five years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dalbavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic approved for treatment of skin and soft tissue infections, administered as a single or two-dose treatment. The extended half-life, good penetration into bone and synovial fluid, and bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria, including those in biofilm, make dalbavancin an appealing choice for treatment of bone and joint infections in outpatient settings. However, we present a rare case of ototoxicity associated with off-label extended dalbavancin treatment of a prosthetic joint infection. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old man with a prosthetic joint infection of the shoulder underwent off-label extended dalbavancin treatment, receiving a cumulative dose of 2500 mg. The patient experienced a gradual onset of hearing loss following the first dose, leading to a diagnosis of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss that persisted 1 year after dalbavancin was discontinued. CONCLUSIONS This case report highlights the importance of exercising caution when administering dalbavancin beyond approved dosing guidelines, and emphasizes the need for vigilance regarding the potential for ototoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bumetanide, an inhibitor of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter-1, has been suggested as an adjunct to phenobarbital for treating neonatal seizures. METHODS A systematic review of animal and human studies was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bumetanide for neonatal seizures. PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane databases were searched in March 2023. RESULTS 26 animal (rat or mice) studies describing 38 experiments (28 in-vivo and ten in-vitro) and two human studies (one RCT and one open-label dose-finding) were included. The study designs, methods to induce seizures, bumetanide dose, and outcome measures were heterogeneous, with only 4/38 experiments being in animal hypoxia/ischaemia models. Among 38 animal experiments, bumetanide was reported to have antiseizure effects in 21, pro-seizure in six and ineffective in 11. The two human studies (n = 57) did not show the benefits of bumetanide as an add-on agent to phenobarbital in their primary analyses, but one study reported benefit on post-hoc analysis. Overall, hearing impairment was detected in 5/37 surviving infants in the bumetanide group vs. 0/13 in controls. Four of the five infants with hearing impairment had received aminoglycosides concurrently. Other adverse effects reported were diuresis, mild-to-moderate dehydration, hypotension, and electrolyte disturbances. The studies did not report on long-term neurodevelopment. The certainty of the evidence was very low. CONCLUSION Animal data suggest that bumetanide has inconsistent effects as an antiseizure medication in neonates. Data from human studies are scarce and raise some concerns regarding ototoxicity when given with aminoglycosides. Well conducted studies in animal models of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy are urgently needed. Future RCTs, if conducted in human neonates, should have an adequate sample size, assess neurodevelopment, minimize using aminoglycosides, be transparent about the potential ototoxicity in the parent information sheet, conduct early hearing tests and have trial-stopping rules that include hearing impairment as an outcome.

Abstract
With the scarcity of pharmacological otoprotective agents against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity (CIO), researchers find themselves compelled to look at and navigate all possible strategies to identify ways to prevent CIO. One of these promising strategies is pharmacogenomic implementation. This strategy aims for identifying and detecting high-risk genetic variants to tailor cisplatin therapy to reach the best survival outcomes with the least risk of ototoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are effective in cancer treatment, different adverse effects induced by these therapeutic modalities (such as ototoxicity) restrict their clinical use. Co-treatment of melatonin may alleviate the chemotherapy/radiotherapy-induced ototoxicity. OBJECTIVE In the present study, the otoprotective potentials of melatonin against the ototoxicity induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy were reviewed. METHODS According to the PRISMA guideline, a systematic search was carried out to identify all relevant studies on "the role of melatonin against ototoxic damage associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy" in the different electronic databases up to September 2022. Sixty-seven articles were screened based on a predefined set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven eligible studies were finally included in this review. RESULTS The in vitro findings showed that cisplatin chemotherapy significantly decreased the auditory cell viability compared to the control group; in contrast, the melatonin co-administration increased the cell viability of cisplatin-treated cells. The results obtained from the distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests demonstrated a decreased amplitude of DPOAE and increased values of ABR I-IV interval and ABR threshold in mice/rats receiving radiotherapy and cisplatin; nevertheless, melatonin co-treatment indicated an opposite pattern on these evaluated parameters. It was also found that cisplatin and radiotherapy could significantly induce the histological and biochemical changes in the auditory cells/tissue. However, melatonin co-treatment resulted in alleviating the cisplatin/radiotherapy-induced biochemical and histological changes. CONCLUSION According to the findings, it was shown that melatonin co-treatment alleviates the ototoxic damage induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Mechanically, melatonin may exert its otoprotective effects via its anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory activities and other mechanisms.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a bedrock of cancer management and one of the most used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of germ cell, lung, bladder, ovarian, and head and neck cancers. Approximately 500,000 patients diagnosed annually with these cancer types in the United States could be candidates for treatment with cisplatin. There is a 5-fold increase in the risk of hearing impairment or ototoxicity with cisplatin, which can manifest as ringing in the ear (tinnitus), high-frequency hearing loss, and at late stages, a decreased ability to hear normal conversation. More than half of adult and pediatric patients with cancer treated with cisplatin developed hearing impairment with major impact on patients' health-related quality of life. A considerable evidence gap persists regarding the burden and effective prevention and interception strategies for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, especially in adult patients with cancer. We conducted a review of the published literature to provide an update on the status of this important clinical challenge. We also surveyed practicing oncologists within our network of academic and community practices to gain a better understanding of how the published literature compares with real-world practice. Our review of the literature showed a lack of standardized guidelines for monitoring and treatment of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity, especially in the adult cancer patient population. Our survey of practicing oncologists mirrored the findings from the published literature with a heterogeneity of practice, which highlights the need for standardization.

Abstract
Cisplatin is chemotherapy used for solid tumor treatment like lung, bladder, head and neck, ovarian and testicular cancers. However, cisplatin-induced ototoxicity limits the utility of this agent in cancer patients, especially when dose escalations are needed. Ototoxicity is associated with cochlear cell death through DNA damage, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the consequent activation of caspase, glutamate excitotoxicity, inflammation, apoptosis and/or necrosis. Previous studies have demonstrated a role of CXC chemokines in cisplatin ototoxicity. In this study, we investigated the role of CXCL1, a cytokine which increased in the serum and cochlea by 24 h following cisplatin administration. Adult male Wistar rats treated with cisplatin demonstrated significant hearing loss, assessed by auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), hair cell loss and loss of ribbon synapse. Immunohistochemical studies evaluated the levels of CXCL1 along with increased presence of CD68 and CD45-positive immune cells in cochlea. Increases in CXCL1 was time-dependent in the spiral ganglion neurons and organ of Corti and was associated with progressive increases in CD45, CD68 and IBA1-positive immune cells. Trans-tympanic administration of SB225002, a chemical inhibitor of CXCR2 (receptor target for CXCL1) reduced immune cell migration, protected against cisplatin-induced hearing loss and preserved hair cell integrity. We show that SB225002 reduced the expression of CXCL1, NOX3, iNOS, TNF-α, IL-6 and COX-2. Similarly, knockdown of CXCR2 by trans-tympanic administration of CXCR2 siRNA protected against hearing loss and loss of outer hair cells and reduced ribbon synapses. In addition, SB225002 reduced the expression of inflammatory mediators induced by cisplatin. These results implicate the CXCL1 chemokine as an early player in cisplatin ototoxicity, possibly by initiating the immune cascade, and indicate that CXCR2 is a relevant target for treating cisplatin ototoxicity.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used standard chemotherapy for various cancers. However, cisplatin treatment is associated with severe ototoxicity. Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide mainly derived from brown seaweeds, and it shows multiple bioactivities such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. Despite evidence of the antioxidant effects of fucoidan, research on its otoprotective effects remains limited. Therefore, the present study investigated the otoprotective effects of fucoidan in vitro using the mouse cochlear cell line UB/OC-2 to develop new strategies to attenuate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. We quantified the cell membrane potential and analyzed regulators and cascade proteins in the apoptotic pathway. Mouse cochlear UB/OC-2 cells were pre-treated with fucoidan before cisplatin exposure. The effects on cochlear hair cell viability, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis-related proteins were determined via flow cytometry, Western blot analysis, and fluorescence staining. Fucoidan treatment reduced cisplatin-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species production, stabilized mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited mitochondrial dysfunction, and successfully protected hair cells from apoptosis. Furthermore, fucoidan exerted antioxidant effects against oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2 pathway. Therefore, we suggest that fucoidan may represent a potential therapeutic agent for developing a new otoprotective strategy.

Abstract
PURPOSE A cornerstone of treatment for many cancers is the administration of platinum-based chemotherapies and/or ionizing radiation, which can be ototoxic. An accurate ototoxicity risk assessment would be useful for counseling, treatment planning, and survivorship follow-up in patients with cancer. METHODS This systematic review evaluated the literature on predictive models for estimating a patient's risk for chemotherapy-related auditory injury to accelerate development of computational approaches for the clinical management of ototoxicity in cancer patients. Of the 1195 articles identified in a PubMed search from 2010 forward, 15 studies met inclusion for the review. CONCLUSIONS All but 1 study used an abstraction of the audiogram as a modeled outcome; however, specific outcome measures varied. Consistently used predictors were age, baseline hearing, cumulative cisplatin dose, and radiation dose to the cochlea. Just 5 studies were judged to have an overall low risk of bias. Future studies should attempt to minimize bias by following statistical best practices including not selecting multivariate predictors based on univariate analysis, validation in independent cohorts, and clearly reporting the management of missing and censored data. Future modeling efforts should adopt a transdisciplinary approach to define a unified set of clinical, treatment, and/or genetic risk factors. Creating a flexible model that uses a common set of predictors to forecast the full post-treatment audiogram may accelerate work in this area. Such a model could be adapted for use in counseling, treatment planning, and follow-up by audiologists and oncologists and could be incorporated into ototoxicity genetic association studies as well as clinical trials investigating otoprotective agents. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Improvements in the ability to model post-treatment hearing loss can help to improve patient quality of life following cancer care. The improvements advocated for in this review should allow for the acceleration of advancements in modeling the auditory impact of these treatments to support treatment planning and patient counseling during and after care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To study the nature and incidence of hearing loss related to tuberculosis (TB) or resulting from antimycobacterial therapy, and its impact on treatment outcomes in patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: An analysis of reports on adverse reactions, medical records and electronic database of the register of TB patients was made. The pathogen was microbiologically verified in all the patients. Patients underwent clinical and laboratory, instrumental, microbiological (BACTEC), molecular genetic (Xpert® MTB/RIF® Ultra, Xpert® MTB/XDR, GenoType® MTBDRplus/sl) examinations. To prevent the development of complications and to control adverse effects, alongside with the determination of the corrected QT interval, visual acuity, and color vision, brief peripheral neuropathy screen and audiometry were performed. RESULTS Results: During MDR-TB treatment with aminoglycosides, therapy was more commonly interrupted during the second episode of therapy (p=0,051), while treatment failure, longer treatment duration, and hearing impairment were almost equally observed in both groups (р=0,431, р=0,432, р=0,69). Treatment success was more commonly observed among patients receiving the first course of therapy. Some patients undergoing repeated antimycobacterial therapy were transferred to palliative care (p=0,13). The short-term treatment regimen effectively prevented ototoxicity. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Novel antimycobacterial agents and short-term TB treatment regimens increased patient compliance with treatment and reduced the incidence of certain adverse effects due to their monitoring and prevention. Due to the transition to mainly drug therapy, adverse effects such as ototoxicity were completely eliminated. This was due to personalized treatment selection, its monitoring, and assessing the outcomes.

Abstract
Telmisartan (TM) has been proposed to relieve inflammatory responses by modulating peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-γ (PPARγ) signaling. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of TM on kanamycin(KM)-induced ototoxicity in rats. Forty-eight, 8-week-old female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups: (1) control group, (2) TM group, (3) KM group, and (4) TM + KM group. Auditory brainstem response was measured. The histology of the cochlea was examined. The protein expression levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), HO1, and PPARγ were measured by Western blotting. The auditory threshold shifts at 4, 8, 16, and 32 kHz were lower in the TM + KM group than in the KM group (all p < 0.05). The loss of cochlear outer hair cells and spiral ganglial cells was lower in the TM + KM group than in the KM group. The protein expression levels of ACE2, PPARγ, and HO1 were higher in the KM group than in the control group (all p < 0.05). The TM + KM group showed lower expression levels of PPARγ and HO1 than the KM group.TM protected the cochlea from KM-induced injuries in rats. TM preserved hearing levels and attenuated the increase in PPARγ and HO1 expression levels in KM-exposed rat cochleae.

Abstract
Hair cell loss is the leading cause of hearing and balance disorders in humans. It can be caused by many factors, including noise, aging, and therapeutic agents. Previous studies have shown the therapeutic potential of quinoxaline against drug-induced ototoxicity. Here, we screened a library of 68 quinoxaline derivatives for protection against aminoglycoside-induced damage of hair cells from the zebrafish lateral line. We identified quinoxaline-5-carboxylic acid (Qx28) as the best quinoxaline derivative that provides robust protection against both aminoglycosides and cisplatin in zebrafish and mouse cochlear explants. FM1-43 and aminoglycoside uptake, as well as antibiotic efficacy studies, revealed that Qx28 is neither blocking the mechanotransduction channels nor interfering with aminoglycoside antibacterial activity, suggesting that it may be protecting the hair cells by directly counteracting the ototoxin’s mechanism of action. Only when animals were incubated with higher doses of Qx28 did we observe a partial blockage of the mechanotransduction channels. Finally, we assessed the regulation of the NF-κB pathway in vitro in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and in vivo in zebrafish larvae. Those studies showed that Qx28 protects hair cells by blocking NF-κB canonical pathway activation. Thus, Qx28 is a promising and versatile otoprotectant that can act across different species and toxins.

Abstract
Cisplatin is used in a wide variety of malignancies, but cisplatin-induced ototoxicity remains a major issue in clinical practice. Experimental evidence indicates that ferroptosis plays a key role in mediating the unwanted cytotoxicity effect caused by cisplatin. However, the role of ferroptosis in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity requires elucidation. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was identified as a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis and radical-trapping antioxidant with its ability to reduce the accumulation of lipid peroxides and chain-carrying peroxyl radicals. In the current study, we investigated the effects of Fer-1 in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. We found, for the first time that Fer-1 efficiently alleviated cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells via a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, Fer-1 mitigated cisplatin cytotoxicity in transgenic zebrafish sensory hair cells. In HEI-OC1 cells, Fer-1 pretreatment not only drastically reduced the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species but also remarkably decreased lipid peroxidation levels induced by cisplatin. This was not only ascribed to the inhibition of 4-hydroxynonenal, the final product of lipid peroxides, but also to the promotion of glutathione peroxidase 4, the protein marker of ferroptosis. MitoTracker staining and transmission electron microscopy of mitochondrial morphology suggested that in HEI-OC1 cells, Fer-1 can effectively abrogate mitochondrial damage resulting from the interaction with cisplatin. In addition, Fer-1 pretreatment of cochlear explants substantially protected hair cells from cisplatin-induced damage. Therefore, our results demonstrated that ferroptosis might be involved in cisplatin ototoxicity. Fer-1 administration mitigated cisplatin-induced hair cell damage, further investigations are required to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of its otoprotective effect.

Abstract
Previous studies have described the effects of zingerone (ZO) on cisplatin (CXP)-induced injury to the kidneys, liver, and other organs but not to the cochlea. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ZO on CXP-induced ototoxicity. Eight-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were used and divided into a control group, a CXP group, and a CXP + ZO group. Rats in the CXP group received 5 mg/kg/day CXP intraperitoneally for five days. Rats in the CXP + ZO group received 5 mg/kg/day CXP intraperitoneally for five days and 50 mg/kg/day ZO intraperitoneally for seven days. Auditory brainstem response thresholds (ABRTs) were measured before (day 0) and after (day 10) drug administration. Cochlear histology was examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and cochlear whole mounts. The expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1, CYP1B1, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), and interleukin 6 (IL6) were estimated using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The expression levels of heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) and caspase 3 were analyzed via Western blotting. The auditory thresholds at 4, 8, and 16 kHz were attenuated in the CXP + ZO group compared with the CXP group. The mRNA expression levels of CYP1A1, CYP1B1, iNOS, NFκB, TNFα, and IL6 were lower in the CXP + ZO group than in the CXP group. The protein expression levels of HO1 and caspase 3 were lower in the CXP + ZO group than in the CXP group. Cotreatment with ZO exerted otoprotective effects against CXP-induced cochlear injury via antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities involving CYPs, iNOS, NFκB, and TNFα.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether the curcuminoids, CLEFMA and EF24, improved cisplatin efficacy and reduced cisplatin ototoxicity. We used the lung cancer cell line, A549, to determine the effects of the curcuminoids and cisplatin on cell viability and several apoptotic signaling mechanisms. Cellular viability was measured using the MTT assay. A scratch assay was used to measure cell migration and fluorescent spectrophotometry to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Western blots and luminescence assays were used to measure the expression and activity of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), caspases-3/7, -8, -9, and -12, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (Src). A zebrafish model was used to evaluate auditory effects. Cisplatin, the curcuminoids, and their combinations had similar effects on cell viability (IC50 values: 2-16 μM) and AIF, caspase-12, JNK, MAPK, and Src expression, while caspase-3/7, -8, and -9 activity was unchanged or decreased. Cisplatin increased ROS yield (1.2-fold), and curcuminoid and combination treatments reduced ROS (0.75-0.85-fold). Combination treatments reduced A549 migration (0.51-0.53-fold). Both curcuminoids reduced auditory threshold shifts induced by cisplatin. In summary, cisplatin and the curcuminoids might cause cell death through AIF and caspase-12. The curcuminoids may potentiate cisplatin's effect against A549 migration, but may counteract cisplatin's effect to increase ROS production. The curcuminoids might also prevent cisplatin ototoxicity.
