Abstract:
[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo study of the relationship of age and climate with the nasal mucosa lesions.METHODSAll the patients met with the inclusive criteria were registered and followed-up once a month and their nasal mucosal lesions were observed through nasal speculum and/or nasal endoscope. The recording data was analyzed by SPSS17.0 software.RESULTSA total of 259 patients, 555 person-times and 957 lesion spots were observed. The nasal mucosa was injured by airflow with the highest incidence rate from October to next year April. Patients numbers gradually increased after August, and significantly increased at November, December (P<0.05). Children aged from 2 to 12 years old and the adults aged from 40 to 80 years old were susceptible population (P<0.05), the incidence rate had a negative relation with humidity (P<0.05). The susceptible spots of the lesion were ranked as follows: Little area, inferior turbinate, mucosa of the both side of the deviated nasal septum, inferior meatus, middle meatus, middle turbinate and olfactory area. CONCLUSIONNasal mucosal injury relates to age and seasons. The nasal cavity airflow may be a factor of these lesions.
