Objective: We aim to construct an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted nasal endoscopy diagnostic system capable of preliminary differentiation and identification of nasal neoplasia properties, as well as intraoperative tracking, providing an important basis for nasal endoscopic surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1050 video data of nasal endoscopic surgeries involving four types of nasal neoplasms. Using Deep Snake, U-Net, and Att-Res2-UNet, we developed a nasal neoplastic detection network based on endoscopic images.

Background: Deep neck space infection (DNSI) is an acute and severe condition, with severe cases being relatively rare but considerably more critical. Consequently, in clinical practice, there is a limited understanding and lack of comprehensive reviews on severe DNSI.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the diagnosis and treatment of five cases of severe DNSI admitted to our department.

Article Synopsis
  • Research explored the effectiveness of hydrogen-rich saline (HRS) for nasal irrigation after chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) surgery, which is a commonly challenging long-term treatment.
  • A study with 61 patients compared HRS to regular saline (NS) post-surgery, measuring outcomes through various scoring methods over 12 weeks.
  • Results showed that the HRS group had better outcomes in reducing discomfort and achieving clinical cure compared to the NS group, without significant side effects.

Article Synopsis
  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa caused by allergens and primarily involves immunoglobulin E (IgE) in people with allergies.
  • Memory T cells have been identified as key players in the development of AR, highlighting their significant role in the immune response.
  • The article discusses how understanding the function of memory T cells can enhance our knowledge of AR's pathogenesis, potentially aiding in the development of more effective clinical treatments.

Purpose: The consistent use of metformin has been linked to a reduced incidence of neoplastic diseases among diabetic populations. As a preventive intervention, metformin may offer a more favorable risk-benefit profile. Here, we explored the efficacy of metformin in the primary prevention of cholangiofibrosis, which can precede the carcinogen-induced development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by eosinophilic inflammation, featuring chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), asthma, and intolerance to cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) inhibitors. The use of these medications can lead to an acute worsening of rhinitis and asthma symptoms. This condition has not yet received sufficient attention in China, with a high rate of misdiagnosis and a lack of related research.

Article Synopsis
  • This study collected data from over 35,000 COVID-19 patients in China to analyze the rates of olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) dysfunctions following infection.!
  • Findings revealed a 67.75% incidence rate of these dysfunctions, with factors like gender, smoking, vaccination doses, and oral health affecting both the likelihood of experiencing and recovering from these symptoms.!
  • On average, smell and taste scores declined significantly after infection but showed some recovery over time, with 59.16% of patients reporting improvement, though some experienced prolonged symptoms lasting over 28 days.!

Background: The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR) primarily relies on symptoms and laboratory examinations. Due to limitations in outpatient settings, certain tests such as nasal provocation tests and nasal secretion smear examinations are not routinely conducted. Although there are clear diagnostic criteria, an accurate diagnosis still requires the expertise of an experienced doctor, considering the patient's medical history and conducting examinations.

Background: Flaxseed orbitides have health-promoting properties, particularly potent anti-cancer activity. However, flaxseed orbitides containing a methionine structure, such as [1-9-NαC]-linusorb B2 (CLB), are easily oxidized to sulfoxide ([1-9-NαC],[1-Rs,Ss-MetO]-linusorb-B2 (CLC)) and sulfone ([1-9-NαC], [1-MetO]-linusorb B2 (CLK)), with CLC having less anti-cancer ability than CLB. It is unclear why oxidized flaxseed orbitides are less effective against cancer than non-oxidized flaxseed orbitide.

Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells constitute a distinct subset within the memory T cell population, serving as the vanguard against invading pathogens and antigens in peripheral non-lymphoid tissues, including the respiratory tract, intestines, and skin. Notably, TRM cells adapt to the specific microenvironment of each tissue, predominantly maintaining a sessile state with distinctive phenotypic and functional attributes. Their role is to ensure continuous immunological surveillance and protection.

Background: Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (hADSCs) exert potent immunosuppressive effects in the allogeneic transplantation treatment. In mouse model of allergic rhinitis (AR), ADSCs partially ameliorated AR. However, no study has evaluated the potential therapeutic effects of hADSC-derived extracellular vesicles (hADSC-EVs) on AR.

Nasal irrigation (NI) for the local treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has some specificity due to the deep anatomical site of the sinuses. The purpose of this review is to help standardize the application of NI in healthcare practice, improve the prevention and treatment of CRS, and facilitate further research on the local treatment of CRS in the future. We searched the PubMed database for 342 articles in the last decade, using the keywords "saline nasal irrigation" and "chronic rhinosinusitis.

To investigate the correlation between FCER2(2206A>G) gene polymorphism and the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids(ICS) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS). A total of 208 CRS patients were routinely treated with functional endonasal sinus surgery and postoperative ICS. DNA extraction, PCR amplification and gene sequencing were performed to observe the FCER2(2206A>G) gene polymorphism and calculate the allele frequency.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory condition affecting the nasal and sinus areas, and this research investigates the role of mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) in CRS, highlighting the differences among endothelial cells involved.
  • - Using RNA sequencing data from 92 CRS patients and 35 healthy controls, researchers identified seven key genes (hub genes) that are differentially expressed, leading to the creation of a diagnostic model with high accuracy for predicting CRS outcomes.
  • - The study revealed two distinct subclusters of CRS, based on MRG expression patterns, and identified two types of venous endothelial cells with differing roles in CRS development, specifically for the non-eosinophilic CRS subtype.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in cancer development, primarily activated by β-catenin forming a transcription complex with LEF/TCF in the nucleus and initiating the transcription of Wnt target genes. Here, we report that LEF1, a member of the LEF/TCF family, can form intrinsically disordered region (IDR)-dependent condensates with β-catenin both in vivo and in vitro, which is required for β-catenin-dependent transcription. Notably, LEF1 with disrupted IDR lost its promoting activity on tumor proliferation and metastasis, which can be restored by substituting with FUS IDR.

Chronic nasal mucosal inflammatory disease is a common nasal disease, which is involved by inflammatory cells and a variety of cytokines. Its main pathological features are inflammatory reaction, increased secretion, mucosal swelling and thickening of nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses.It mainly includes chronic rhinitis (divided into allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis), chronic sinusitis (divided into with nasal polyps, without nasal polyps type), etc.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common inflammatory disease in otolaryngology, mainly manifested as nasal congestion, nasal discharge, facial pain/pressure, and smell disorder. CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), an important phenotype of CRS, has a high recurrence rate even after receiving corticosteroids and/or functional endoscopic sinus surgery. In recent years, clinicians have focused on the application of biological agents in CRSwNP.
