目的观察慢性鼻-鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉(CRSwNP)患者鼻黏膜组织中白细胞介素-33(IL-33)的表达与嗜酸性粒细胞(Eos)的浸润情况,探讨IL-33与Eos在其发病中作用及相关性。方法采用免疫组织化学LSAB法分别检测CRSwNP患者(观察组)32例和单纯鼻中隔偏曲患者(对照组)24例的鼻黏膜组织中IL-33的表达情况;苏木精-伊红染色下观察炎性细胞浸润程度并对Eos计数;全血细胞分析法测定两组患者血液中嗜酸性粒细胞含量。结果 (1)CRSwNP组织中上皮层及间质内Eos、中心粒细胞为主的炎性细胞及部分腺体内有IL-33的表达;(2)免疫组织化学检测显示IL-33阳性细胞数、苏木精-伊红染色Eos计数均高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。Eos计数与IL-33阳性细胞数在CRSwNP中存在正相关性(P0.05);(3)血液中Eos含量无统计学意义。结论 IL-33是一种新型的细胞因子,在CRSwNP患者体内高表达,可能与嗜酸性粒细胞浸润互相促进,在CRSwNP发生发展中具有重要的作用。     

嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的诊断及预后预测价值分析

摘要 目的：探讨嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的诊断及预后预测价值。方法：选取我院2020年3月到2023年3月收治的100例慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉患者作为研究对象,将其分为慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉组,选取同期来我院治疗的100例单纯慢性鼻窦炎患者作为慢性鼻窦炎组,另选取同期来我院体检的100名健康志愿者作为对照组。对比三组受检者嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞表达水平,并建立受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线,分析嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的诊断效能。随后对100例性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉患者手术治疗后进行1年随访,依照患者的复发情况评价其预后情况,并分为两个亚组,将术后1年内复发的21例患者分为预后不良组,两未复发的79例患者分为预后良好组,对比两组患者一般临床情况,嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞表达水平,并分析嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的预后预测价值。结果：三组受检者嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞表达水平对比差异显著,慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉组患者嗜酸性粒细胞（EOS）个数高于慢性鼻窦炎组和对照组,调节性T细胞（Tregs）水平低于慢性鼻窦炎组和对照组（P＜0.05）;通过绘制ROC曲线,确定EOS、Tregs其对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的诊断效能,结果显示,EOS、Tregs两者联合对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的诊断效能优于单一检测（P＜0.05）;预后良好组与预后不良组患者性别、年龄、BMI、吸烟史、饮酒史、白细胞介素-35（IL-35）、转化生长因子-β（TGF-β）、白细胞介素-1β（IL-1β）表达水平对比无明显差异（P＞0.05）,预后良好组与预后不良组患者病程、合并哮喘、合并变应性鼻炎、组织淋巴细胞占比、白细胞介素-10（IL-10）、肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）、EOS个数以及Tregs表达水平对比差异显著（P＜0.05）;logistic回归分析结果表明：合并哮喘、组织淋巴细胞占比、EOS个数以及Tregs为慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的预后独立影响因素（P＜0.05）。结论：嗜酸性粒细胞、调节性T细胞不仅对慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉的临床诊断具有重要价值,而且能够预测慢性鼻窦炎伴鼻息肉患者的预后情况,因此临床上对于EOS个数增加,Tregs降低的患者要及时改善治疗措施,预防患者预后不良的发生。

The Development of Nasal Polyp Disease Involves Early Nasal Mucosal Inflammation and Remodelling

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by both a chronic inflammation and tissue remodelling; as indicated by extracellular matrix protein deposition, basement membrane thickening, goblet cell hyperplasia and subepithelial edema, with reduced vessels and glands. Although remodelling is generally considered to be consequence of persistent inflammation, the chronological order and relationship between inflammation and remodelling in polyp development is still not clear. The aim of our study was therefore to investigate the pathological features prevalent in the development of nasal polyps and to elucidate the chronological order and relationship between inflammation and remodelling, by comparing specific markers of inflammation and remodelling in early stage nasal polyps confined to the middle turbinate (refer to as middle turbinate CRSwNP) obtained from 5 CRSwNP patients with bilateral polyposis, mature ethmoidal polyps from 6 CRSwNP patients, and normal nasal mucosal tissue from 6 control subjects. Middle turbinate CRSwNP demonstrated significantly more severe epithelial loss compared to mature ethmoidal polyps and normal nasal mucosa. The epithelial cell junction molecules E-cadherin, ZO-1 and occludin were also expressed in significantly lower amounts in mature ethmoidal polyps compared to healthy mucosa. Middle turbinate CRSwNP were further characterized by significantly increased numbers of subepithelial eosinophils and M2 type macrophages, with a distinct lack of collagen and deposition of fibronectin in polyp part. In contrast, the turbinate area of the middle turbinate CRSwNP was characterized by an increase in TGF-β activated myofibroblasts expressing α-SMA and vimentin, an increase in the number of pSmad2 positive cells, as well as increased deposition of collagen. These findings suggest a complex network of processes in the formation of CRSwNP; including gross epithelial damage and repair reactions, eosinophil and macrophage cell infiltration, and tissue remodelling. Furthermore, remodelling appears to occur in parallel, rather than subsequent to inflammation.     

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis caused by Curvularia sp.

Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is a benign and non-invasive sinusal disease related to a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal antigens. This process can cause tissue edema with chronic inflammatory disturbances of the respiratory mucosa. We present the case of a 17 year-old immunocompetent male, with history of seasonal allergic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps and previous surgery for mucocele of the frontal sinus. Sticky material was removed in the last surgery that revealed pigmented and septed filaments on direct examination, and yielded Curvularia on Sabouraud dextrose agar. After a course of amphotericin B, treatment was switched to itraconazole, with good tolerance and favorable clinical outcome.     

IL-17和VEGF在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎患者鼻息肉组织中的表达及相关性研究

目的:探讨慢性鼻-鼻窦炎患者鼻息肉组织中白介素-17(IL-17)、血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的表达,并分析IL-17、VEGF表达水平的相关性。方法:以我院2015年1月~2017年12月期间收治的慢性鼻-鼻窦炎患者95例为研究对象,按患者有无鼻息肉分为伴鼻息肉(观察1组)49例和不伴鼻息肉(观察2组)46例。另选取同期在我院进行治疗的鼻中隔偏曲患者40例为对照组。所有患者均进行鼻内镜手术治疗,并在术中取其较窄侧的鼻甲黏膜作为检测标本,采用免疫组化SP法检测各组织标本中的IL-17、VEGF的表达水平,并分析IL-17、VEGF表达水平的相关性。结果:观察1组患者IL-17、VEGF的阳性表达率分别为93.88%(46/49)、85.71%(42/49),均高于观察2组患者IL-17、VEGF的阳性表达率[76.09%(35/46)、65.22%(30/46)]以及对照组患者IL-17、VEGF的阳性表达率[5.00%(2/40)、2.50%(1/40)],差异均具有统计学意义(P0.05)。观察1组患者IL-17、VEGF的表达水平分别为(38.92±5.34)个/LP、(33.21±4.87)个/LP,均高于观察2组患者IL-17、VEGF的表达水平[(28.19±4.56)个/LP、(21.28±4.03)个/LP]以及对照组患者IL-17、VEGF的表达水平[(9.31±2.76)个/LP、(7.19±1.95)个/LP],差异均具有统计学意义(P0.05)。经Spearman相关性分析结果显示,观察1组患者、观察2组患者中,IL-17与VEGF的表达水平呈正相关性(P0.05)。结论:慢性鼻-鼻窦炎患者鼻息肉组织中IL-17、VEGF的表达显著升高,且IL-17与VEGF表达水平呈明显的正相关性,表明IL-17、VEGF可能共同参与鼻息肉的发生与发展过程。     

Expression of prostaglandin D synthase and the prostaglandin D2 receptors DP and CRTH2 in human nasal mucosa

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is released from mast cells during the allergic response. OBJECTIVE: Since PGD2 has been shown to induce nasal congestion in humans, we investigated the distribution of hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (PGDS) and the two PGD2 receptors, DP and CRTH2 in human nasal mucosa from healthy subjects and subjects suffering from polyposis, a severe form of chronic rhinosinusitis. METHODS: DP mRNA expression was detected by in situ hybridization while PGDS, CRTH2 and various leukocyte markers expression were revealed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: In the normal mucosa, PGDS was only detected in few resident mast cells while CRTH2 was undetectable. In contrast, DP receptor mRNA was detected in epithelial goblet cells, serous glands and in the vasculature. In the nasal mucosa of subjects suffering from polyposis: (1) PGDS was detected in mast cells and other large infiltrating inflammatory cells, (2) both DP mRNA and CRTH2 were detected in eosinophils and (3) CRTH2 was detected on a subset of infiltrating T cells. Although DP mRNA could not be detected in the T cells invading the nasal mucosa, it was found to be expressed in the T cells present in the lymph node and the thymus from normal individuals. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that cells capable of producing PGD2 are present in the nasal mucosa and that both PGD2 receptors, DP and CRTH2, might play a role in inflammatory disease of the upper airways.     

TGF-beta 1 downregulates CFTR expression and function in nasal polyps of non-CF patients

Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the upper airways. It has been suggested that ion transports and CFTR expression could be modified in epithelial cells from nasal polyps of non-cystic fibrosis patients. We compared human nasal epithelial cells from nasal polyps (NP) with control nasal mucosa (CM). The level of CFTR mRNA was studied by Northern blot analysis and protein expression was studied by immunoprecipitation both ex vivo and in vitro in primary cultures of human nasal epithelial cells at the air-liquid interface. Ion transports were evaluated by short-circuit measurements in vitro. CFTR gene and protein expressions were significantly decreased in NP native tissues and in culture on day 4, when a global defect of ion transports was observed in NP cultures, but not in CM. We evaluated the effect of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 on CFTR expression and function in NP cultures on day 14 and showed, for the first time, that TGF-beta 1 was able to significantly downregulate the level of CFTR mRNA and cAMP-dependent current in NP cultures. Finally, we showed that the effects of TGF-beta 1 on ion transports could be reversed after 48-h removal of TGF-beta1 in NP cultures. In conclusion, our data strongly suggest that chronic inflammation in nasal polyposis downregulates CFTR gene and protein expression.     

Association of Mucosal Organisms with Patterns of Inflammation in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Background

Chronic rhinosinusitis is a multifactorial process disease in which bacterial infection or colonization may play an important role in the initiation or persistence of inflammatory response. The association between mucosal bacteria presence and inflammatory patterns has only been partially explored.

Objective

To demonstrate specific mucosal microorganisms possible association with inflammatory patterns.

Methods

We collected nasal polyps or sinus tissues from a clinical selection of six patient groups with defined sinus disease using tissue biomarkers. In the tissues, we detected bacteria using peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH).

Results

After reviewing a total of 115 samples (15–20 samples per group), the mucosal presence of Staphylococcus aureus was correlated with IL-5 and SE-IgE positive chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and nasal polyps from cystic fibrosis patients. Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps with TNFα >20 pg/ml was associated with the mucosal presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Conclusion

This study identifies the relationship between intramucosal microbes and inflammatory patterns, suggesting that bacteria may affect the type of inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis. Additional investigation is needed to further identify the nature of the relationship.
