Description
Summary:Cholesteatomatous bone destruction is caused by an increase in collagenase activity and activation of the osteoclasts. Cytokines, such as interleukins (IL), are important in intercellular communication in the mechanism of bone destruction. Middle ear cholesteatomas and external auditory canal skins (EACS) can be surgically obtained and cultured. The quantities of IL-1
