Each student served as his or her own control. The time-weighted averageconcentration (TWA) of fOrmaldehyde in anatomical laboratories and in students' dormitorieswas 0. 508 ± 0. 299 mg/m3 and 0. 012 ± 0. 0025mg/m3, respectively. A higher frequency ofmicronuclei was observed in nasal and oral exfoliative cells after formaldehyde exposure (3. 85± 1. 48 vs 1 .20± 0. 676 and 0. 857 ± 0. 558 vs 0. 568 ± 0. 317, paired-t test: P< 0. 001and P < 0. 01, respectively). No significant increase in the frequency of lymphocyte micronu-clei was found after formaldehyde exposure (P >0. 05 ). The present study shows that nasalmucosa cel1s exposed through respiration are the chief target of FA-induced genotoxic effects展开更多

Methods: For 36 cases of research objects diagnosed with APR, the partial inferior turbinectomy and septoplasty was administered. For 6 APR cases among them, the pre- and postoperative observation of anterior nasal mucosa of the inferior turbinate on the same side under the electron microscope was conducted for one year respectively. In addition, their pathological alterations of tissues were also conducted. Results: In the pre-operative observation under the electron microscope, it was found that the nasal mucosae epithelium cells were nude without cilia. The lamina propria had edema, and mesenchyme presented the infiltration of substantial eosinophilic granulocytes, basophilic granulocytes, plasmacytes and mast cells. Additionally, abundant degranulation and vacuolation of cytoplasts were observed. The plentiful glands, duct ectasia, edema and structural changes were also found. Some gland cells had degenerated. After the operation, it was found that the epithelium nudity still existed and the deficiency of cilia was not improved. Only a very small amount of microvilli existed. The edema of lamina propria was improved and eosinophilic granulocytes were rarely observed in mesenchyme. However, the infiltration of basophilic granulocytes, plasmocytes and mast cells was still observed. The particle structure was generally stable and the central crystal was clear without degranulation. Meanwhile, the amount of glands was reduced and the tissue structure tended to be recovered. Overall, the nasal mucosa showed changes as chronic inflammation. Conclusions: For the treatment of APR with the methods presented by our research institution, in one year before and after the operation, ultrastructural changes of inferior turbinate mucosa tissues were observed from the preoperatively pathological changes of typical APR to the chronic inflammation with the primary infiltration of neutrophilic granulocyte and mast cells.展开更多

METHODS: ...OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of intranasal medication on the structure, pathology and reversibility of the nasal mucosa to provide a basis for the feasibility of intranasal route of drug administration. METHODS: Nasal drops of gentamicin were placed in the nasal cavity of rabbits for 3, 5, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that, the drops were stopped and drugs protecting the nasomucosa were used for one and three weeks. After being sacrificed over time, the nasomucosa of the rabbit was observed under optical and electron microscopes. RESULTS: Damage to the nasal mucosa appeared to different extents with prolonged use of nasal drops. Within 3 - 7 days of applying the drug, damages to the nasal mucosa gradually appeared, and after two and four weeks, were most serious. After stopping the drug, the nasal mucosa was gradually restored. CONCLUSION: Damages of drugs to the nasal mucosa could be restored. The intranasal route of drug administration would be feasible and clinically applicable.展开更多

Methods Histochemical demonstration of AChE positive fibers, immunohistochemical study of the distribution patterns of multiple peptidergic terminals, double labelling of AChE and substance P (SP) and somatostatin (SOM) mRNA in situ hybridization were carried out in nasal mucosa and trigeminal ganglion (TG) in rats. Results AChE positive terminals were mainly distributed in the mid to posterior one third of septal nasal mucosa, with greater staining density on the walls of small vessels and glands. There were fewer such terminals in turbinate mucosa. Tachykinins ergic terminals, including substance P(SP) , neurokinin A (NKA) , neurokinin B(NKB) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) ergic terminals, had an extensive localizations in nasal mucosa, involving the following areas: between epithelial cells, submucosa, the walls of small vessels, glands and venous sinusoids in both septal and turbinate nasal mucosa. Septal mucosa had the greater density. There were overlaps in the distribution of these peptidergic terminals. There were also vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) , neuropeptide Y (NPY) and galanin (GAL) ergic terminals in nasal mucosa. But no neurotensin (NT) and somatostatin (SOM) ergic terminals were found. In situ hybridization revealed SOMmRNA expression in TG cells. AChE and nine neuropeptides existed in the cytoplasms of TG cells. Besides, AChE and SP could exist simultaneously in cytoplasms of TG cells. Conclusions AChE positive (corresponding to parasympathetic nerves) and peptidergic terminals have different distribution patterns in the nasal mucosa of rats, although an overlap does exist, indicative of their different physiological effects on the regulation of nasal secretion and other functions; AChE and multiple neuropeptides in the cytoplasm of TG cells might play a role in modulating the nasal secretion in response to stimuli in the nasal mucosa.展开更多

We carried out this study using immunocytochemistry and found that substance P (SP) terminals were present in human nasal mucosa from six cases of chronic rhinitis. SP terminals were often found to be adjacent to or have a direct contact with mast cells (MCs). Electron-microscopic studies revealed that MCs could contact nonmyelinated nerve terminals. These results have important implications in the understanding of the pathogenesis of neurogenic inflammation seen in nasal mucosa and will probably cast new insight into the future treatment of such disease.展开更多

文摘Nanocellulose has emerged for a wide range of applications in biomedical engineering because of its water absorption capacity,appropriate elasticity.We investigated the hemostatic and regenerative abilities of an expanding polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-nanocellulose sponge on nasal mucosal defects.A 3 mm-diameter nasal defect was made in experimental rabbits.Rabbits were divided into four groups with control,vaseline,PVA and PVA-nanocellulose packing groups.After the defect was created,bleeding times and amounts were monitored.Packing materials were removed on experimental day(ED)2.On ED 3,7 and 14,histological analysis and immunohistochemical study for neutrophils were performed.Inflammatory cells were counted and epithelial thicknesses were evaluated.Bleeding amounts and times in the vaseline packing group were smaller than in the PVA groups.PVA-nanocellulose group showed less neutrophils than in the other groups on ED 7.Average epithelium thickness in the PVA-nanocellulose group was significantly smaller than in the control group at ED 7,but at ED 14,there was no significant intergroup difference.PVAnanocellulose group had a significant lower inflammatory cell count than the control group on ED 7.PVA-nanocellulose sponge applied to nasal mucosal defects can significantly enhance mucosal regeneration during early wound healing.
