Introduction: Diagnosis of empty nose syndrome (ENS) relies on the ENS six-item questionnaire (ENS6Q) with a score of ≥11, followed by a "positive" cotton test yielding seven-point reduction from baseline ENS6Q score via cotton placement to the inferior meatus (IM). Given the intricacies of diagnosing ENS and the propensity for false positives with the standard cotton test, we modified the classic single-step cotton test into a four-part Stepwise Empty Nose Syndrome Evaluation (SENSE) cotton test to reduce bias and evaluate the placebo effect.

Methods: Individuals diagnosed with ENS underwent the SENSE test, a single-blinded, four-step, office-based cotton test, without topical anesthesia or decongestants. Conditions included: (1) placebo/no cotton placed; (2) complete cotton-blockade of nasal vestibule; (3) cotton placed medially against the nasal septum; and (4) cotton placed laterally in the IM (site of inferior turbinate tissue loss). With each condition, patients completed an ENS6Q.

Results: Forty-eight ENS patients were included. Twenty-nine percent demonstrated a placebo effect (p < 0.001), 40.4% had a positive response to complete cotton-blockade (p < 0.001), 64.4% to septum-placed cotton, and 79.1% to IM-placed cotton (p < 0.001), corresponding to a mean ENS6Q reduction of 11.9 points (p < 0.001). Notably, the mean difference in ENS6Q scores between septum and IM placement was 1.7 (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: The SENSE test offers further insight into subtleties of nasal breathing experienced by ENS patients. The placebo effect can be prominent and important to consider with individual patients. While most ENS patients prefer any intranasal cotton placement over baseline, blinded testing reveals these patients can accurately discriminate minimal changes in nasal aerodynamics.

简介空鼻综合征(ENS)的诊断依赖于ENS六项问卷(ENS6Q),得分≥11分,然后通过将棉花置于下肉眼(IM)进行 "阳性 "棉花测试,使ENS6Q得分从基线降低7分。考虑到 ENS 诊断的复杂性和标准棉花试验的假阳性倾向,我们将经典的单步棉花试验修改为由四个部分组成的逐步空鼻综合征评估(SENSE)棉花试验,以减少偏差并评估安慰剂效应:方法: 诊断出患有空鼻症的患者接受 SENSE 测试,这是一种单盲、四步、办公室棉花测试,无需局部麻醉或减充血剂。测试条件包括(1) 安慰剂/不放棉花;(2) 完全用棉花堵塞鼻前庭;(3) 在鼻中隔内侧放棉花;(4) 在 IM(下鼻甲组织缺失部位)外侧放棉花。每种情况下,患者都要填写 ENS6Q:结果:共纳入 48 名 ENS 患者。结果:纳入了 48 名 ENS 患者,其中 29% 的患者表现出安慰剂效应(P 结论):SENSE 测试可进一步了解 ENS 患者鼻呼吸的微妙之处。安慰剂效应可能非常明显,对个别患者来说需要加以考虑。与基线相比,大多数耳鼻咽喉科病人更喜欢鼻内放置棉花,但盲测显示这些病人能准确分辨鼻腔空气动力学的微小变化。

Background

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common respiratory noninfectious diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases, the incidence of which has been increasing in recent years. The main pathological characteristics of AR are repeated inflammation, airway hyperreactivity, mucus hypersecretion, and reversible airway obstruction due to inflammatory cell response. AR occurrence is associated with various factors, including those of genetic and environmental origins. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a group of RNA molecules that cannot be converted into polypeptides. The three main categories of ncRNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs). NcRNAs play a crucial role in controlling gene expression and contribute to the development of numerous human diseases.

Methods

Articles are selected based on Pubmed's literature review and the author's personal knowledge. The largest and highest quality studies were included. The search selection is not standardized. Several recent studies have indicated the relationship of ncRNAs with the development of respiratory allergic diseases. NcRNAs, including miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, are important gene expression regulatory factors. We review the expression and function of ncRNAs in AR, their role as disease biomarkers, and their prospective applicability in future research and clinically. We also discuss interactions between ncRNAs and their influence on AR comprehensively, these interactions are essential for determining the underlying pathological mechanisms further and discovering new drug therapeutic targets.

Results

NcRNAs can be used as biomarkers for early AR diagnosis, disease surveillance and prognosis assessment. Various categories of ncRNAs play distinct yet interconnected roles and actively contribute to intricate gene regulatory networks. They are also therapeutic targets and biomarkers in other allergic diseases.

Conclusion

This article demonstrates ncRNAs have a wide range of applications in AR treatment. The database covers three key areas: miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs. Additionally, potential avenues for future research to facilitate the practical application of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets and biomarkers will be explore. With further research and technological development, ncRNAs may provide additional innovative, effective solutions for AR treatment.

背景:过敏性鼻炎(AR)是最常见的呼吸道非感染性疾病和慢性炎症性疾病之一,近年来发病率呈上升趋势。过敏性鼻炎的主要病理特征是反复发炎、气道高反应性、粘液分泌过多以及炎症细胞反应导致的可逆性气道阻塞。AR 的发生与多种因素有关,包括遗传和环境因素。非编码 RNA(ncRNA)是一组不能转化为多肽的 RNA 分子。ncRNA 主要分为三类,包括微小 RNA(miRNA)、长 ncRNA(lncRNA)和环状 RNA(circRNA)。NcRNAs 在控制基因表达方面起着至关重要的作用,并导致多种人类疾病的发生:根据 Pubmed 的文献综述和作者的个人知识选择文章。其中包括规模最大、质量最高的研究。搜索选择没有标准化。最近的几项研究表明,ncRNA 与呼吸道过敏性疾病的发生有关。NcRNA(包括 miRNA、lncRNA 和 circRNA)是重要的基因表达调控因子。我们综述了 ncRNA 在 AR 中的表达和功能、它们作为疾病生物标志物的作用以及在未来研究和临床中的应用前景。我们还全面讨论了 ncRNA 之间的相互作用及其对 AR 的影响,这些相互作用对于进一步确定潜在的病理机制和发现新的药物治疗靶点至关重要:NcRNA可作为生物标志物用于早期AR诊断、疾病监测和预后评估。各类 ncRNA 发挥着不同但相互关联的作用,并在错综复杂的基因调控网络中发挥着积极作用。它们也是其他过敏性疾病的治疗靶点和生物标志物:本文展示了 ncRNA 在 AR 治疗中的广泛应用。该数据库涵盖三个关键领域:miRNAs、lncRNAs 和 circRNAs。此外,还将探讨未来研究的潜在途径,以促进 ncRNAs 作为治疗靶点和生物标志物的实际应用。随着进一步的研究和技术发展,ncRNA 可能会为 AR 治疗提供更多创新、有效的解决方案。

Background: Chronic inflammation triggers tissue remodeling in human nasal epithelial (HNE) cells. S100A9, a protein secreted by inflammatory cells, exhibits potent proinflammatory activity. However, its effect on HNE cell remodeling, such as squamous metaplasia, remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects and underlying pathways of S100A9 on HNE cell remodeling and investigate its clinical implications in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Methods: Cultured HNE cells were treated with S100A9. Bulk RNA sequencing was performed to analyze gene ontology (GO). Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were also analyzed. Additionally, immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence were performed on tissue samples obtained from 60 patients, whose clinical informations were also reviewed.

Results: GO enrichment analysis indicated that S100A9 induced tissue remodeling in HNE cells toward squamous metaplasia. IPA and KEGG commonly showed that S100A9 affected HNE cells associated with the IL-17 signaling pathway, including target molecules such as matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) and small proline-rich protein 2A (SPRR2A). Squamous metaplasia with a marked expression of S100A9 was observed in 50% of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNPs). In addition, in multiplex immunofluorescence, the S100A9 in sub-epithelium was co-expressed with myeloperoxidase, a neutrophil marker, and MMP1 and SPRR2A were strongly expressed in epithelial remodeling. Clinically, the expression of S100A9 correlated with sino-nasal outcome test-22 (r = 0.294, p = 0.022) and Lund-Mackay scores (r = 0.348, p = 0.006).

Conclusion: S100A9 induces tissue remodeling in HNE cells. Its increased expression in CRSwNP, particularly squamous epithelium, correlates with disease severity. This suggests the clinical potential of S100A9 as a biomarker for CRS severity.

背景:慢性炎症会引发人类鼻上皮细胞(HNE)的组织重塑。S100A9是炎症细胞分泌的一种蛋白质,具有强大的促炎活性。然而,它对 HNE 细胞重塑(如鳞状化)的影响仍不清楚。因此,本研究旨在确定 S100A9 对 HNE 细胞重塑的影响及其潜在途径,并探讨其对慢性鼻炎(CRS)的临床意义:方法:用S100A9处理培养的HNE细胞。方法:用 S100A9 处理培养的 HNE 细胞,进行大量 RNA 测序,分析基因本体(GO)。还分析了基因通路分析(IPA)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)。此外,还对 60 例患者的组织样本进行了免疫组化和多重免疫荧光分析,并对其临床信息进行了审查:结果:GO富集分析表明,S100A9诱导HNE细胞向鳞状化生方向进行组织重塑。IPA和KEGG共同表明,S100A9对HNE细胞的影响与IL-17信号通路有关,包括基质金属蛋白酶1(MMP1)和富含脯氨酸的小蛋白2A(SPRR2A)等靶分子。在 50%的鼻息肉 CRS(CRSwNPs)中观察到鳞状化生,S100A9 明显表达。此外,在多重免疫荧光中,上皮下的 S100A9 与中性粒细胞标记物髓过氧化物酶共表达,MMP1 和 SPRR2A 在上皮重塑中强表达。在临床上,S100A9的表达与中鼻结局测试-22(r = 0.294,p = 0.022)和Lund-Mackay评分(r = 0.348,p = 0.006)相关:结论:S100A9 可诱导 HNE 细胞的组织重塑。结论:S100A9 可诱导 HNE 细胞组织重塑,其在 CRSwNP(尤其是鳞状上皮)中的表达增加与疾病严重程度相关。这表明 S100A9 具有作为 CRS 严重程度生物标志物的临床潜力。

Objective: To assess the effect of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) on patients with central compartment atopic disease (CCAD) and house dust mite (HDM) sensitization post-surgery.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of surgically treated, HDM-sensitized CRSwNP patients phenotyped as CCAD was assessed. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had AIT commenced as part of their surgical care. All AIT patients started immunotherapy prior to their surgery. The primary endpoint was reformation of middle turbinate (MT) edema 12 months postsurgery. Secondary endpoints were corticosteroid irrigation use (<4 times/week vs. ≥4 times/week, %) and the rhinologic domain of the 22-item sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22). Demographic characteristics, concomitant asthma, smoking status, history of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, conjunctival symptoms, polysensitization, serum eosinophils (cell × 109/L), tissue eosinophilia (% > 100/HPF), and serum IgE (kU/L) were also recorded.

Results: Eighty-six CCAD patients were assessed (41 ± 14 yrs, 64% female). AIT was applied in 37% (n = 32). Baseline features were similar apart from greater conjunctival symptoms (72 vs. 45%, p = 0.02) in the AIT group. At 12 months post-surgery, the AIT group has less MT edema (% ≥ diffuse 15.6 vs. 52.9, p < 0.01). Patients on AIT also had less pharmacotherapy requirements at 12 months (% ≥ 4/week, 37.5 vs. 79.6%, p < 0.01). The rhinologic symptoms were similar (21.1 ± 17.1 vs. 20.1 ± 21.6, p = 0.83).

Conclusions: Surgery and pharmacotherapy are effective in managing CCAD, but the addition of AIT improved allergic phenomenon and allowed de-escalation of topical therapy. Longer term studies are required to demonstrate further immunomodulation.

摘要评估过敏原免疫疗法(AIT)对手术后中央隔室特应性疾病(CCAD)和家尘螨(HDM)致敏患者的影响:对表型为 CCAD 的接受过手术治疗、对 HDM 过敏的 CRSwNP 患者进行了回顾性队列评估。根据患者是否将 AIT 作为手术治疗的一部分,将患者分为两组。所有 AIT 患者均在手术前开始接受免疫疗法。主要终点是手术后 12 个月中鼻甲水肿的恢复情况。次要终点是皮质类固醇冲洗使用量(9/L)、组织嗜酸性粒细胞增多(% > 100/HPF),同时还记录了血清 IgE(kU/L):共评估了 86 名 CCAD 患者(41 ± 14 岁,64% 为女性)。37%的患者(32 人)使用了 AIT。基线特征相似,但 AIT 组的结膜症状更严重(72 对 45%,P = 0.02)。术后 12 个月时,AIT 组的 MT 水肿较少(≥弥漫性的百分比为 15.6 vs. 52.9,p 结论:手术和药物治疗可有效缓解眼结膜水肿:手术和药物治疗对控制 CCAD 很有效,但 AIT 的加入改善了过敏现象,并允许局部治疗降级。要进一步证明免疫调节作用,还需要进行更长期的研究。

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is one of the most commonly performed otolaryngologic procedures and is associated with significant cost variability.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all inflammatory sinus surgeries at a single tertiary care medical center from July 2021 to July 2023. The electronic medical record was reviewed for patient factors and cost variables for each procedure, and multivariable analysis was performed.

Results: A total of 221 patients were included in analysis with a mean age of 48.2 years. There was a 44.8% incidence (n = 99) of nasal polyps and 31.2% (n = 69) of cases were revision surgeries. The average total cost for the surgical encounter was $8960.31 (standard deviation $1967.97). Operating room time represented $4912.46 (54.8% of all costs), while average operating room supply costs were $1296.06 (14.5%) and recovery room costs were $919.48 (10.3%). Total costs were significantly associated with length of surgery ($7.83/min, p = 0.04), in addition to presence of nasal polyps ($531.96, p = 0.04). There was no significant association between total costs and the remaining clinical and demographic factors.

Conclusions: Costs associated with ambulatory FESS for inflammatory sinus disease vary across patients and this cost variability is predominantly driven by time efficiency within the operating room, as well as supply utilization and nasal polyposis to a lesser degree. As a result, operating room efficiency represents a primary target for cost-related interventions. Additionally, our data provide a framework for surgeons and hospitals to make evidence-based decisions on intraoperative equipment in a tradeoff between efficiency and supply costs. Our findings indicate that an approach focused on streamlining efficiency across the entire ambulatory surgery encounter will have the greatest impact on reducing healthcare expenses for both the patient and the health system.

背景:功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术(FESS)是最常实施的耳鼻喉科手术之一,但其费用变化很大:我们对一家三级医疗中心 2021 年 7 月至 2023 年 7 月期间的所有炎性鼻窦手术进行了回顾性分析。我们查阅了电子病历,以了解每项手术的患者因素和成本变量,并进行了多变量分析:共有 221 名患者参与分析,平均年龄为 48.2 岁。鼻息肉发病率为 44.8%(n = 99),31.2%(n = 69)的病例为翻修手术。手术的平均总费用为 8960.31 美元(标准差为 1967.97 美元)。手术室时间费用为 4912.46 美元(占总费用的 54.8%),手术室用品平均费用为 1296.06 美元(占 14.5%),恢复室费用为 919.48 美元(占 10.3%)。除鼻息肉(531.96 美元,p = 0.04)外,总成本与手术时间(7.83 美元/分钟,p = 0.04)也有明显关系。总成本与其他临床和人口学因素之间没有明显关联:炎症性鼻窦疾病的非卧床鼻窦成形术的相关成本因患者而异,这种成本变化主要受手术室的时间效率影响,其次是供应品的使用和鼻息肉。因此,手术室效率是成本相关干预措施的主要目标。此外,我们的数据还为外科医生和医院提供了一个框架,使其在效率和供应成本之间权衡时,就术中设备做出循证决策。我们的研究结果表明,在整个门诊手术过程中提高效率将对降低患者和医疗系统的医疗费用产生最大的影响。

Background: The management of acute exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis (AECRS) is understudied and the most cost-effective management of AECRS has not been previously investigated. The aim of this study is to determine the most cost-effective strategy for the initial management of AECRS.

Methods: The study design consisted of a decision-tree economic model comparing three different initial strategies for managing a patient perceived AECRS: observation, upfront rescue medications, or clinic visit with diagnostic nasal endoscopy (DNE). The primary study outcome was the disease burden of a single AECRS, which was determined by the health utility value and the duration of symptoms. Strategies with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio < $50,000/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) or equivalently < $137/quality-adjusted life day (QALD) were considered cost-effective.

Results: Observation was the most cost-effective strategy at a willingness to pay of $137 per QALD. One-way sensitivity analysis demonstrated that observation was more effective than upfront rescue medications when the probability of bacterial infection as the cause of AECRS was <24.0%. Upfront rescue medications wer more cost effective than observation when the probability of bacterial infection exceeded 49.0%. Clinic visit with DNE was the most effective strategy to manage an AECRS, but it was not considered cost-effective.

Conclusion: Observation is the most cost-effective strategy for the initial management of AECRS when there is a low likelihood of bacterial infection. When the probability of bacterial etiology of AECRS exceeds 49.0%, upfront rescue medications proved to be the most cost-effective strategy.

背景:对慢性鼻炎急性加重期(AECRS)的管理研究不足,此前也未对最具成本效益的 AECRS 管理方法进行过调查。本研究旨在确定最具成本效益的 AECRS 初始治疗策略:研究设计了一个决策树经济模型,比较了三种不同的AECRS初始治疗策略:观察、前期抢救药物或鼻内窥镜诊断(DNE)门诊。主要研究结果是单次 AECRS 的疾病负担,由健康效用值和症状持续时间决定。具有增量成本效益比的策略 结果:观察是最具成本效益的策略,每 QALD 的支付意愿为 137 美元。单向敏感性分析表明,当细菌感染作为 AECRS 病因的概率为结论时,观察比前期抢救药物更有效:当细菌感染的可能性较低时,观察是最经济有效的 AECRS 初始治疗策略。当 AECRS 的细菌病因概率超过 49.0% 时,前期抢救用药被证明是最具成本效益的策略。
