New medical management techniques for acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Scripps Memorial Hospital, San Diego, California, USA.

Published: February 2003

In the past 2 years, intranasal nebulized medications have emerged as a widely prescribed treatment for medical management of chronic rhinosinusitis. This represents an innovative and advanced approach to treating acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis topically. The use of specially formulated medication compounds delivered by unique nebulization equipment is reviewed in the treatment of patients with chronic sinus disease. Scientific data including related upper and lower respiratory literature is included, as well as the important aspects of factors affecting nebulized medication delivery to the sinuses. The benefits, effectiveness, risks, and adverse effects of intranasal nebulized medications are also addressed. A treatment algorithm identifying appropriate use of nebulized medications in the treatment plan for chronic sinusitis patients is then presented in diagrammatic format.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CR) is a persistent inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a procedure that improves sinus drainage and ventilation. Despite advancements in ESS, additional corrective procedures post-ESS are often needed.

Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) significantly affects patients' quality of life, impacting both physical and psychological well-being. This study investigated the potential role of resilience in coping with CRSwNP and its relationship to disease severity and cellular proliferation. Methodology Between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, 30 patients diagnosed with CRSwNP were enrolled in a study at Cardiomed Hospital in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the association between the likelihood of surgical recurrence and serum ECP and TIgE levels in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

Methodology: Clinical information was gathered retrospectively from 166 cases of surgically treated CRSwNP as well as 60 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). A comparative analysis on serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) was carried out between the two groups.

HMOX1 as a potential drug target for upper and lower airway diseases: insights from multi-omics analysis.

Respir Res

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, 430022, China.

Background: Oxidative stress is key in inflammatory airway diseases. Heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) regulates oxidative stress, but its role in airway diseases needs exploration.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between healthy nasal mucosa and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) were identified from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

SLAMF8 Disrupts Epithelial Barrier in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps via M1 Macrophage Polarization.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, China. Electronic address:

Background: Recent studies show that M1 macrophages accumulate predominantly in non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (neCRSwNP). However, the precise mechanisms regulating M1 macrophages and their impact on the epithelial barrier remain unclear.

Objective: We aim to investigate the expression and regulatory role of SLAMF8, a molecule exclusively expressed in myeloid cells, in M1 macrophage polarization and its potential contribution to neCRSwNP development.
