Medication compliance rate was 87.5%, and administration of JTT led to remission in 95.2% patients. No apparent side effects were observed. The frequency of AOM decreased significantly (Wilcoxon signed rank test, p=0.000) with JTT. The duration of fever (p=0.000) and administration of antibiotics (p=0.001), as well as the number of hospital visits (p=0.001) and emergent hospital visits (p=0.000) showed significant decreases after JTT administration. After the end of the JTT period, 14 of 21 (66.7%) patients started to take it again, as they experienced purulent otitis media and/or other infections after discontinuation. The frequency of AOM increased significantly after stopping JTT (p=0.004) and decreased again with JTT resumption (p=0.005).

Rats administered vitamin E exhibited clear suppression of injury-induced neuronal HNE expression in the ipsilateral FMN as compared to non-treated controls. Following nerve avulsion, the number of surviving motor neurones in the ipsilateral FMN was significantly greater among vitamin E-treated rats than non-treated controls.
