Objective To observe the influence of nasal washing with Bidouguan Perfusate (BP) on nasal mucosal cytokines of nasal polyp patients after operation. Methods Thirty-nine nasal polyp patients were randomized into BP group ( N=18) and normal saline group ( N=21). All patients received operation for nasal polyp and postoperative comprehensive treatment, and additionally, BP group was given washing with BP and normal saline group was washed with 0.9%normal saline for 3 months. The scores of SNOT-20 and Lund-Kennedy were observed for the evaluation of therapeutic effect. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) was used for detection of interleukin 5 (IL-5), interleukin 8 (IL-8), interleukin 10 (IL-10), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in nasal mucosa before operation and 3 months after operation. Results ( 1) SNOT-20 and Lund-Kennedy scores were decreased after operation ( P <0.05 compared with those before operation) , the difference being insignificant between the two group after operation ( P>0.05). ( 2) The expression levels of IL-5, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-αand GM-CSF in the nasal mucosa were decreased in both groups 3 months after operation (P<0.05), and the decrease of IL-5, IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-γ in BP group was superior to that in the normal saline group ( P<0.05) . The differences of TNF-α and GM-CSF levels were insignificant between the two groups after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion Nasal washing with BP has similar effect to normal saline on improving the quality of life and nasal mucosal histology 3 months after operation, but BP has better effect on regulating nasal mucosal IL-5, IL-8, IL-10 and IFN-γ.
