MELBOURNE, April 3 (UPI) -- Cochlear implants to improve hearing also increase the risk of bacterial meningitis, say Australian researchers.
The team, at the University of Melbourne's Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, said vaccination might control the problem.
In a rodent study they conducted, 36 of 54 animals were implanted with the inner-ear devices and one-third developed meningitis.
However, the study authors said the benefits of cochlear implants far exceed the risk of meningitis, but added that the risk could be managed by education and vaccination efforts.
A report on the research was published in the April edition of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领。

墨尔本大学皇家维多利亚眼耳医院的研究小组说疫苗接种可以控制这个问题。在他们进行了一项利用啮齿动物进行的研究中，54只动物中36只被植入内耳装置，耳蜗植入的动物中三分之一发生了脑膜炎。不过，研究者认为，耳蜗植入的好处远远超过患脑膜炎的风险。不过他们补充说这种风险可以用教育和疫苗接种来处理。该研究发表于耳鼻咽喉－头颈外科4月刊上。

Confirming what physicians have long speculated, a new study published in the April edition of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery determines that the presence of cochlear implants increases the risk of bacterial infections that can cause meningitis in recipients.
《耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学杂志》四月版公布的一项研究结果证实了医生们长久以来的推测。这项研究结果确定耳蜗植入增加了细菌感染的风险，从而引起接受耳蜗植入术的患者继发脑（脊）膜炎。
The discovery increases the need to educate the public on the need for meningitis vaccinations in potential cochlear implant recipients.
这项研究发现使公众教育的必要性增加。我们应当教育公众并使他们认识到在潜在的接受耳蜗植入术的患者中接种脑（脊）膜炎疫苗的必要性。
The study involved making cochleostomy incisions (opening of the inner ear spaces of the cochlea the most important moment in the procedure) in the ears of 54 healthy rats, implanting cochlear devices in 36 of them, and then monitoring them for the presence of meningitis, a third of the rats with cochlear implants were stricken with meningitis. The study's authors found that in these cases, cochlear implantation lowers the threshold needed for pneumococcal baterial infection, the bacterium that causes meningitis.
这项研究包括在54只健康鼠的耳部作耳蜗切开术切口（打开内耳的耳蜗空间――整个手术过程中最重要的时刻），并在其中36只植入耳蜗装置，接着监视它们脑（脊）膜炎的指征。接受耳蜗植入术的老鼠有三分之一患有脑（脊）膜炎。这项研究的作者发现在这些老鼠病例中，耳蜗植入降低了肺炎链球菌细菌感染需要的阈值，而这种细菌通常引起脑（脊）膜炎。
