Article Synopsis
- The study examines the prevalence and contributing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Chinese healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, finding that 29.2% experienced PTSD symptoms.
- The research analyzes data from 21 studies involving 11,841 healthcare workers, identifying various protective factors against PTSD, such as being female, having nursing experience, being married, and experiencing lower work stress.
- The findings emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring and interventions to support the mental health of healthcare workers in China following the trauma experienced during the pandemic.
Purpose: To explore the effect of inflammatory factors on inner ear impairment in a sample of Omicron-infected patients with a high rate of vaccination in China.
Methods: One hundred and forty-six recovered Omicron-infected patients performed the distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) test and serum test for inflammatory factors; demographic data and vaccination statuses were collected from the questionnaire.
Results: Out of 146 patients, the DPOAE pass rate was 81.
Objectives: The mechanism of olfactory disorder (OD) in patients with COVID-19 is unclear. Our study aimed to elucidate the relationships between inflammatory factors and OD in a sample of patients infected with the Omicron variant, with a high vaccination rate in China.
Methods: The Sniffin' Sticks 12-item test was performed in a cross-sectional study of 148 recovered patients who were infected with the Omicron variant to evaluate OD severity.
Background: To date, no study has evaluated the diversity of T cell cytokine patterns of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) among centers in different continents using identical methods.
Objective: We sought to assess T cytokine profiles in patients with CRS from Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Methods: Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP; n = 435) and control subjects (n = 138) were recruited from centers in Adelaide, Benelux, Berlin, Beijing, Chengdu, and Tochigi.
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the prevalence of self-reported and confirmable allergic rhinitis (AR) with positive skin prick test (SPT) results among adults living in urban and rural areas of China.
Methods: Adults from a community in Beijing and a village in Baoding were selected as representative urban and rural dwellers, respectively. All eligible residents were enrolled from the population register and received a face-to-face interview using modified validated questionnaires.
The microbiology of chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps.
Acta Otolaryngol
December 2014
Conclusion: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Haemophilus, Enterobacter, and Corynebacterium appear to be more frequently associated with patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) than with patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) or control subjects. Furthermore, the isolation rate of Staphylococcus aureus appears to be much lower in Chinese CRSwNP patients compared with their caucasian counterparts.
Objectives: To compare the predominant bacteriologic profiles in middle meatus of patients with CRSwNP, those with CRSsNP, and control subjects.
The expression of epithelial intercellular junctional proteins in the sinonasal tissue of subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis: a histopathologic study.

Objective: To evaluate the expression of five epithelial intercellular junctional proteins in the sinonasal tissue of subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
Methods: Forty-one samples of nasal polyp tissue of CRS patients with nasal polyps (wNP), 20 ethmoid sinus mucosa of CRS patients without nasal polyps (sNP) and 19 nasal mucosa of controls were collected and assessed for the expression of zonulae occludens (ZO-1), claudin-1, E-cadherin and desmoglein-1 and -2 (DSG1, DSG2) using immunohistochemical staining. Interleukin (IL)-5, IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations in the tissues were also measured using ELISA.
