Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.2009;(20):923-925,929. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1001-1781.2009.20.004

Objective:To detect the mucin gene (MUC2,MUC5AC,MUC5B,MUC18 and MUC19)expression in the nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis (AR)and the normal nasal mucosa in human. To investigate the role and clinical significance of mucin gene in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps and AR patients .Method:We obtained samples from 35 cases of nasal polyps,18 cases of AR inferior turbinate and 18 cases of simple nasal septum deviation inferior turbinate. Specimens were analyzed with RT-PCR and Real-time FQ-RT-PCR.Result:The results of RT-PCR and FQ-RT-PCR showed that the expression of MUC5AC,MUC5B in nasal polyps and AR patients was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa(P<0.05). The expression of MUC5AC,MUC5B in nasal polyps was not significantly different from that in AR patients(P>0.05). The expression of MUC2, MUC18 in nasal polyps and AR was not significantly different from that in normal mucosa(P>0.05). And the results of RT-PCR for MUC19 expression in AR was higher than that in nasal polyps group and normal group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:MUC5AC and MUC5B are highly expressed in epithelium of human nasal polyps and AR, and they take part in mucus over-secretion in nasal polyps and AR.The expression of MUC19 in AR was higher than that in nasal polyps group and normal group. It indicates that the secretion of MUC19 in allergic rhinitis was on high level. There was no difference of the expression of MUC2 and MUC18 in nasal polyps group, AR group and in normal group.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.2009;(23):1069-1070,1073. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1001-1781.2009.23.005

Objective:This article was a retrospective analysis on the preoperative CT scan of fungal sinusitis patients.The non-distinctive clinic feature was suggested to improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.Method:A retrospective analysis was made for 176 patients with fungal sinusitis,which were confirmed by postoperative pathologic disanosis from January 2000 to January 2008.Every patient was performed both CT examination and nasalendoscopy preoperatively. All patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery and the lesions in sinus were cleared and confirmed fungal infection by pathology.Thirty-five cases fungal infection located in sphenoid sinus,84 cases in maxillary sinus,49 cases in both maxillary and ethmoid sinus,3 cases in all sinus,5 cases in both ethmoid and sphenoid sinus.There were 179 sinuses in 176 patients were infected. Result:This group totally had 175 cases(179 sides). One hundred and seventy-three cases had unibilateral lesion,3 cases had bilateral lesion. The CT scan showed non-distinctive features including unifom dense,uneven dense in the sinus and bone resorption of the inner side bone wall. Five cases in sphenoid sinus lesion were found calcification in CT scan but 8 cases didn't show such features.Among these cases. 5 cases showed uniforra.dense and 3 cases showed uneven dense. In 84 cases maxillary sinus lesion,there were 12 cases without distinctive change,among these cases,8 cases showed uniform derise,4 cases showed uneven dense and 5 cases had boRe resorption. In 49 cases both ethmoid and maxillary sinus lesion,13 cases didn't show distinctive change,among these cases,9 cases showed uniform dense,4 cases showed uneven dense and 6 cases had bone resorption. Five cases had calcification in the both sphenoid and ethmoid sinus. Totally 81.56% of these patients had calcification feature in the CT scan.Conclusion:The calcification in the lesion of sinus is usually featured as characteristic manifestation of fungal sinusitis. But in clinic,the calcification does not exit in some patient's CT scan. When being absent of the featured sign in CT scan,the fungal sinusitis have to be diagnozed by other detecting means,even postoperative pathology.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.2013;27(5):233-236.

OBJECTIVE: To detect the expression and distribution of the lung surfactant protein D (surfactant protein D,SP-D ) and IL-16 in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps, and then probe into their significance in the pathology of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. METHOD: Fifteen cases of allergic rhinitis, fifteen cases of nasal polyps and fifteen cases of inferior turbinate mucosa were studied to detect the expression of SP-D and IL-16 by immunohistochemistry method. RESULT: The expression of SP-D and IL-16 in allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps were dramatically higher in controls (P < 0.01). There was no remarkable difference in the expression of SP-D and IL-16 between allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Both normal tissue and diseased tissue express SP-D and IL-16. SP-D is likely to play key roles in the inflammatory reaction process of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. IL-16 is an important eosinophil chemokine in the process of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps,and it can also enhance the local role of eosinophils,thus it can involve in the process of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps disease.
