Epidemiological characteristics of OM were analyzed using methods such as Joinpoint analysis, age-period-cohort models, and decomposition analysis. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA) models were used to forecast the incidence and prevalence rates over the next 15 years. <b>Results:</b> From 1992 to 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of OM in China decreased from 4 183.54/100, 000 to 4 179.92/100, 000, while, the global ASIR increased from 5 345.09/100, 000 to 5 529.1/100, 000. The age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) in China decreased from 1 835.2/100, 000 to 1 332.11/100, 000, while, the global ASPR decreased from 1 786.56/100, 000 to 1 593.74/100, 000. The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) in China decreased from 0.01/100, 000 to 0, while, the global ASMR decreased from 0.03/100, 000 to 0.01/100, 000. The age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) in China decreased from 37.39/100, 000 to 26.53/100, 000, while, the global ASDR decreased from 37.68/100, 000 to 32.54/100, 000. The average annual percent change (AAPC) for ASIR, ASPR, ASMR, and ASDR in China were -0.003%, -1.101%, -9.803%, and -1.178%, respectively, while, globally the AAPC were 0.116%, -0.395%, -4.396%, and -0.506%, respectively. The impact of age and sex on the burden of OM varied. The incidence rate was highest in children, especially in the group under 5 years old, followed by the elderly. The incidence and mortality of OM were higher in females than in males. Decomposition analysis indicated that the main factor contributing to the decline in DALYs in China was epidemiological changes, while, the main factor contributing to the increase in global DALYs was population growth. Over the next 15 years, it might be predicted that the prevalence of OM will decrease in both China and globally, with a decrease in incidence in China and an increase in the global incidence. <b>Conclusion:</b> From 1992 to 2021, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs of OM in China have generally shown a declining trend, indicating a gradual reduction in the disease burden of OM in China. The disease burden of OM is age-related, with the highest incidence and prevalence observed in children and a higher mortality rate in the elderly population. OM remains a significant public health challenge in China.</p>","PeriodicalId":23987,"journal":{"name":"Chinese journal of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery","volume":"60 8","pages":"903-910"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144971813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flow cytometry was employed to analyze cell apoptosis. A mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss was developed, and the mice were divided into three groups: a noise-exposed saline group, a noise-exposed NAD⁺ intervention group, and a noise-free control group. Hearing protection effects were evaluated by auditory brainstem response (ABR) and immunofluorescence. Metabolomics and transcriptomics were used to analyze the regulatory effects of NAD<sup>+</sup>on transcription and metabolism in mouse cochlea. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blot were used to verify the differential transcription and metabolic molecules and their functions. Data were statistically analyzed with GraphPad Prism 9.3.0. <b>Results:</b> NAD<sup>+</sup>at concentrations ranging from 10-80 μM effectively restored cell viability and reduced apoptosis induced by H₂O₂ in HEI-OC1 cells. NAD⁺ intervention significantly improved 16-32 kHz ABR thresholds after noise exposure (<i>P</i><0.05), reduced outer hair cell loss rates (<i>P</i><0.05), and attenuated ribbon synapse damage (<i>P</i><0.000 1). Metabolomics analysis revealed a significant downregulation in the glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway, with decreased levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and its related metabolites. ELISA results showed that LPA levels in the NAD⁺ intervention group were significantly lower (<i>P</i><0.05). LPA inhibitor (ATX inhibitor 1) exhibited a cell protective effect similar to that of NAD⁺. Transcriptomics analysis indicated a significant upregulation of key genes related to potassium ion channels, such as <i>Kcnq4</i>. qPCR and Western blot further confirmed the significant upregulation of <i>Kcnq4</i> and its encoded protein in the NAD⁺ intervention group (<i>P</i><0.05). In the presence of the KCNQ4 inhibitor (ML252), the protective effect of NAD⁺ was inhibited. <b>Conclusions:</b> NAD⁺ exerts effective protective effects against noise-induced cochlear injury.
