Regulation of Local Immunoglobulin Expression by MZB1 in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveThe heightened expression of local immunoglobulins is a significant pathological characteristic of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps （CRSwNP）， particularly in the Asian population. This study is centered on exploring the association between MZB1 and the localized aggregation of immunoglobulins in Asian individuals with CRSwNP. MethodsNasal polyp tissues obtained from 40 CRSwNP patients and inferior turbinates from 6 healthy controls underwent examination for both mRNA and protein levels. The assessments were conducted using polymerase chain reaction， luminex， and immunohistochemical staining. Statistical analyses， including one-way Anova （ANOVA）， independent samples t-test， and Pearson's correlation analysis， were employed for comprehensive data evaluation. ResultsThe mRNA expression levels of MZB1（P < 0.01） and HSP90B1 （P < 0.01） were significantly higher in type 2 CRSwNP patients compared with those in healthy controls. Immunohistochemical staining revealed a significant increase in MZB1 protein expression in type 2 CRSwNP. MZB1 demonstrated correlation with the expression of immunoglobulin E in nasal polyp tissues （P < 0.01， r = 0.52）. Additionally，MZB1correlated with the expression ofIL-5（P < 0.05， r = 0.4） and IL-13 （P < 0.05， r = 0.44） in nasal polyp tissues. Furthermore，MZB1showed correlation with the number of eosinophils in nasal polyp tissues （P < 0.05， r = 0.72）. ConclusionThe expression of MZB1 is notably elevated in Asian CRSwNP， particularly in type 2 CRSwNP， when compared with controls.MZB1expression correlates significantly with high IgE expression and disease severity in nasal polyp tissues.

Comparison of Long-term Efficacy of Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Allergic Rhinitis

PURPOSE: Data comparing the long-term efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) using house dust mite (HDM) in children and adults with allergic rhinitis (AR) are limited. This study aimed to compare the long-term effects of HDM-SCIT in a cohort of Chinese pediatric and adult patients with AR. METHODS: A total of 124 pediatric and adult AR patients received HDM-SCIT for 3 years, with 118 patients being followed-up for 2 years. Prior to treatment (baseline), at the end of the 3-year treatment periods (third year) and 2 years after the discontinuation of treatment (fifth year), all patients were evaluated for total nasal symptom scores (TNSS), daily medication score (DMS), total combined score (TCS; symptoms [nasal + ocular] + DMS) and quality of life (QoL). Safety was assessed according to adverse events reported. RESULTS: After 3-year treatment, HDM-SCIT significantly improved symptoms and QoL scores at the end of the third and fifth years in both groups. Better improvements were observed in the third and fifth years based on baseline, in children compared to adults (TNSSΔ3: 6.66 vs. 5.41, P = 0.011; TCSΔ3: 4.30 vs. 3.83, P = 0.027 and TNSSΔ5: 6.16 vs. 4.86, P = 0.037; TCSΔ5: 4.11 vs. 3.62, P = 0.044).Shorter duration of AR history before SCIT (<10 vs. ≥10 years) resulted in better improvements at the end of the third and fifth years (TCSΔ3: 4.12 vs. 3.13, P = 0.036; TCSΔ5: 3.90 vs. 3.09, P = 0.033). HDM-SCIT was safe and comparable in both children and adults with AR. CONCLUSIONS: Children with AR may achieve better long-term efficacy of HDM-SCIT than adults with AR.

The clinical effect of cyclocryotherapy combining with paracentesis of anterior chamber in obsulute glaucoma / 中国基层医药

Objective To compare the clinical effects of different surgical management for obsolute glaucoma.Methods 31 eyes of absolute glaucoma were retrospectively analyzed,including 23 case 23 eyes(A group) with cyclocryotherapy,8 case 8 eyes(B group)with cyclocryotherapy combining with paracentesis of anterior chamber,the pain and duration were comparatively observed.Results In the cyclocryotherapy,the pain occurred in 23 eyes,the duration time was 3 to 10 days,the average time was 6.8 days.While 4 eyes occurred pain in the cyclocryotherapy combining with paracentesis of anterior chamber,the duration time was 1 to 3 days,the average time was 2.3 days.There was significant difference(P
