This study was designed to clarify whether the pars flaccida (PF) as a flexible part of the tympanic membrane is capable of
reacting to pressure oscillations (PO) with amplitudes and frequencies typical for natural atmospheric pressure fluctuations
in the far infrasound frequency range (APF). If so, the PF mechanical reactions to APF might be involved in the overall physiologic
regulation processes, which make organisms susceptible to APF. The displacements of the PF in response to PO were measured
in vitro in ears of gerbils and rabbits by means of laser Doppler vibrometry. The index of the PF reactivity (Ra) was determined as the ratio of the amplitude of the PF oscillations (PFO) to the amplitude of the PO. All kinds of PO applied
caused PFO. The amplitude of the PFO increased when the amplitude of the PO was increased. In gerbils, a decrease in Ra with the increase in amplitude of the PO was observed. In the range of PO lowest amplitudes (4–20 Pa) Ra proved to be 1.4 times higher than in the range of highest amplitudes (90–105 Pa). Considering that the natural APF are usually
within the range of ±20 Pa, this fact points to an important contribution of the PF to the pressure dynamics in the middle
ear (ME) of gerbils. In rabbit ears, Ra was lower and recovery from plastic deformation was slower than in gerbils. Our findings are in line with the suggestion
that the PF might play an important role in respect of adaptation to natural APF. 相似文献
