The Efficacy of Pyogenic Cavity Aerobic Therapy with Negative Pressure Drainage in the Treatment of Deep Neck Space Infections.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of pyogenic cavity aerobic therapy with negative pressure drainage in the treatment of deep neck space infections (DNSI).

Methods: The study was a prospective, observational analysis of 36 cases of DNSI at a tertiary care center. The patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment method.

Effect of PM2.5 on MicroRNA Expression and Function in Nasal Mucosa of Rats With Allergic Rhinitis.

Background: Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) refers to particulate matter with aerodynamic equivalent diameter less than or equal to 2.

Effects of PM2.5 on mucus secretion and tissue remodeling in a rabbit model of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background: According to epidemiologic studies, fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm, PM2.5) is closely associated with increases in the incidence and severity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Chinese Society of Allergy Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2-3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries.

Nasal epithelial barrier disruption by particulate matter ≤2.5 μm via tight junction protein degradation.

Upper airway diseases including sinonasal disorders may be caused by exposure to fine particulate matter (≤2.5 μm; PM2.5), as proven by epidemiological studies.

T-helper type 1-T-helper type 2 shift and nasal remodeling after fine particulate matter exposure in a rat model of allergic rhinitis.

Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm [PM2.5]) increases the risk of allergic rhinitis (AR), but the underlying mechanisms remains unclear.

PM-Induced Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage in the Nasal Mucosa of Rats.

Exposure to PM (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm) increases the risk of nasal lesions, but the underlying mechanisms, especially the mechanisms leading to mitochondrial damage, are still unclear. Thus, we investigated the in vivo effects of PM exposure on the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, the enzyme activities of Na⁺K⁺-ATPase and Ca-ATPase, and the morphology and function of mitochondria in the nasal mucosa of rats.

Human papillomavirus infection and the malignant transformation of sinonasal inverted papilloma: A meta-analysis.

A growing number of molecular epidemiological studies have been conducted to evaluate the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the malignancy of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP). However, the results remain inconclusive. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess this association.
