Purpose: To systematically evaluate the effects of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) on nasal cavity and its associated respiratory function changes.

Material And Methods: Multiple electronic databases were searched, authors were contacted as required, and reference lists of potentially relevant studies were screened. Articles that included patients older than 16 who had received SARME were considered. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently and in duplicate.

Results: Eight articles, including 161 patients, were finally selected and analyzed. Nasal cavity significantly augmentation after SARME has been recognized by 7 studies with moderate-quality evidence. Among them, the nasal cavity volume increased <20% in 4 studies, 20% to 40% in 1 study, and >40% in 2 studies. Totally, the range of increasing in nasal cavity volume was 7.6% to 99%. One study had recorded the nasal expiratory and inspiratory flow significantly increased 18.5% and 21.7%, respectively.

Conclusion: SARME was found to produce meaningful volume augmentation in nasal cavity with adult patients. However, the improvement of nasal respiratory function has not been well elucidated; thus, SARME is not yet recommended for the purpose of improving nasal respiratory.

Rare constituents of the nasal microbiome contribute to the acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Inflamm Res

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology, Peking University Third Hospital, Haidian District, No. 49 Huayuan North Road, Beijing, 100191, People's Republic of China.

Background: Dysbiosis of the nasal microbiome is considered to be related to the acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis (AECRS). The microbiota in the nasal cavity of AECRS patients and its association with disease severity has rarely been studied. This study aimed to characterize nasal dysbiosis in a prospective cohort of patients with AECRS.

: Sinus lifting, a procedure to augment bone in the maxilla, may cause complications such as sinusitis due to impaired drainage. This study aimed to assess how sinus lifting impacts airflow in the sinus cavity, which is essential for patients undergoing dental implants. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), this research analyzed airflow changes after sinus floor elevation, offering insights into the aerodynamic consequences of the procedure.

Objective: To evaluate the pharyngeal airway dimensions and regional pharyngeal adipose distribution in the young adult minipig model.

Materials And Methods: Eight 7-8-months-old Yucatan minipigs, half male and female, were sedated and placed prone to scan the pharyngeal region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed using dynamic turbo-field echo (TFE)-sequence with respiratory gating and adipose-weighted sequence.
