The current study examined the effectiveness of Rhinapi, a hypertonic saline nasal spray with Anatolian propolis added, on allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms in a European population. Four hundred and forty AR patients (251 males and 189 females) from various European centers were enrolled. Nasal examination, overall symptom scores, individual AR symptoms (nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal obstruction), and quality of life (QoL) were assessed before and after 3 weeks of treatment with Rhinapi, the nasal spray made of hypertonic saline with Anatolian propolis added (Bee&You, Istanbul, Turkey).

  • * Results indicated that PRP alone showed better cartilage viability in the first month, while the use of PDS plates led to notable cartilage degeneration and a significant reduction in chondrocyte proliferation by the third month, contradicting initial expectations.
  • * Overall, the findings suggest that while PRP may enhance cartilage healing, PDS plates could trigger adverse reactions like increased fibrosis and structural issues, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical practices.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the effectiveness of three types of nasal irrigation sprays in 1,700 adults with allergic rhinitis, comparing hypertonic nasal spray, algae-containing hypertonic nasal spray, and isotonic saline nasal spray over a 3-week period.
  • - Results showed that the hypertonic sprays (both types) significantly improved symptom and quality of life scores compared to the saline group, which only showed minor improvements in turbinate condition.
  • - Both hypertonic sprays resulted in lower total symptom scores and improved quality of life, indicating they could be valuable additions to standard allergic rhinitis treatment.
