SIRT5 exacerbates eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis by promoting polarization of M2 macrophage. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2024; 154:644-656. [PMID: 38761998 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2024.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies implied that local M2 polarization of macrophage promoted mucosal edema and exacerbated TH2 type inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the specific pathogenic role of M2 macrophages and the intrinsic regulators in the development of CRS remains elusive. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the regulatory role of SIRT5 in the polarization of M2 macrophages and its potential contribution to the development of CRSwNP. METHODS Real-time reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and Western blot analyses were performed to examine the expression levels of SIRT5 and markers of M2 macrophages in sinonasal mucosa samples obtained from both CRS and control groups. Wild-type and Sirt5-knockout mice were used to establish a nasal polyp model with TH2 inflammation and to investigate the effects of SIRT5 in macrophage on disease development. Furthermore, in vitro experiments were conducted to elucidate the regulatory role of SIRT5 in polarization of M2 macrophages. RESULTS Clinical investigations showed that SIRT5 was highly expressed and positively correlated with M2 macrophage markers in eosinophilic polyps. The expression of SIRT5 in M2 macrophages was found to contribute to the development of the disease, which was impaired in Sirt5-deficient mice. Mechanistically, SIRT5 was shown to enhance the alternative polarization of macrophages by promoting glutaminolysis. CONCLUSIONS SIRT5 plays a crucial role in promoting the development of CRSwNP by supporting alternative polarization of macrophages, thus providing a potential target for CRSwNP interventions.

Outcomes of biological therapy in patients with severe asthma with chronic rhinosinusitis in Saudi Arabia: patients with nasal polyps versus those without nasal polyps. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:328. [PMID: 38978039 PMCID: PMC11232303 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-03139-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study's purposes were to evaluate the impact of biological therapies on outcomes in patients with severe asthma (SA) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and to compare these effects among those with NP (CRSwNP) versus those without NP (CRSsNP) in the "real-world" setting in Saudi Arabian patients. METHODS From March to September 2022, a retrospective observational cohort study was undertaken at the severe asthma clinics of the Armed Forces Hospital-Southern Region (AFHSR) and King Khalid University Hospital, Abha, Saudi Arabia, to delineate the effects of dupilumab therapy. Outcomes were assessed, including clinical outcomes, FEV1, and laboratory findings before and one year after dupilumab. Post-therapy effects were compared between CRSwNP and CRSsNP. RESULTS Fifty subjects were enrolled, with a mean age of 46.56. There were 27 (54%) females and 23(46%) males. Significant improvements in clinical parameters (frequency of asthma exacerbations and hospitalizations, the use of OCs, anosmia, SNOTT-22, and the ACT), FEV1, and laboratory ones (serum IgE and eosinophilic count) were observed 6 and 12 months after using dupilumab (p < 0.001), respectively. However, after 12 months of dupilumab therapy, there were no significant differences between those with and without NP with regards to clinical (anosmia, ACT, and OCs use), laboratory (eosinophilic count, serum IgE level) parameters, and FEV1%. CONCLUSIONS Patients with CRS experienced significant improvements in clinical, FEV1, and laboratory outcomes after dupilumab therapy. However, these improvements were not maintained when comparing CRSwNP with CRSsNP. There were no significant differences between those with and without NP regarding ACT and OCs use or laboratory (eosinophilic count, serum IgE level) parameters. Further prospective multicenter studies are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucosa. The inflammatory patterns may differ among patients, leading to different subtypes based on the dominant inflammatory cell type. This study aimed to compare the differences in cytokine expression and disease severity between plasma cell-dominant and eosinophil-dominant subtypes in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS This study included 53 CRSwNP patients and 19 control subjects who did not have asthma or a history of cigarette smoking. The expression of cytokines and inflammatory cells was assessed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS Among the cytokines analyzed, only IL-6 was significantly different between the two subtypes. A greater proportion of mast cells and IgE cells was present in plasma cell-dominant CRSwNP patients than in eosinophil-dominant group. For the three disease severity scores (LMK-CT, TPS and SNOT-22), objective scores (LMK-CT and TPS) were greater in the eosinophil-dominant CRSwNP group, while the opposite result was shown for the subjective score (SNOT-22). Additionally, the percentage of plasma cell-dominant cells was significantly positively correlated with disease severity according to the TPS and SNOT-22 scores. CONCLUSIONS Our data revealed that plasma cell-dominant inflammation, a subtype of type 2 CRS, was significantly correlated with subjective disease severity. The study also highlights the role of IL-6, IgE and mast cells as distinguishing factors between eosinophil-dominant and plasma cell-dominant CRSwNP. This information could be useful for clinical diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Abstract
Background Although oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiological process of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), the specific underlying mechanism is still unclear. Whether antioxidant therapy can treat CRSwNP needs further investigation. Methods Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analyses were performed to detect the distribution and expression of oxidants and antioxidants in nasal polyp tissues. qPCR revealed correlations between oxidase, antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory cytokine levels in CRSwNP patients. Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) and primary macrophages were cultured to track the cellular origin of oxidative stress in nasal polyps(NPs) and to determine whether crocin can reduce cellular inflammation by increasing the cellular antioxidant capacity. Results The expression of NOS2, NOX1, HO-1 and SOD2 was increased in nasal epithelial cells and macrophages derived from nasal polyp tissue. Oxidase levels were positively correlated with those of inflammatory cytokines (IL-5 and IL-6). Conversely, the levels of antioxidant enzymes were negatively correlated with those of IL-13 and IFN-γ. Crocin inhibited M1 and M2 macrophage polarization as well as the expression of NOS2 and NOX1 and improved the antioxidant capacity of M2 macrophages. Moreover, crocin enhanced the ability of antioxidants to reduce inflammation via the KEAP1/NRF2/HO-1 pathway in HNEpCs treated with SEB or LPS. Additionally, we observed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of crocin in nasal explants. Conclusion Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of CRSwNP by promoting various types of inflammation. The oxidative stress of nasal polyps comes from epithelial cells and macrophages. Antioxidant therapy may be a promising strategy for treating CRSwNP.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is predominantly a type 2 inflammatory disease associated with type 2 (T2) cell responses and epithelial barrier, mucociliary, and olfactory dysfunction. The inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and IL-5 are key mediators driving and perpetuating type 2 inflammation. The inflammatory responses driven by these cytokines include the recruitment and activation of eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, goblet cells, M2 macrophages, and B cells. The activation of these immune cells results in a range of pathologic effects including immunoglobulin E production, an increase in the number of smooth muscle cells within the nasal mucosa and a reduction in their contractility, increased deposition of fibrinogen, mucus hyperproduction, and local edema. The cytokine-driven structural changes include nasal polyp formation and nasal epithelial tissue remodeling, which perpetuate barrier dysfunction. Type 2 inflammation may also alter the availability or function of olfactory sensory neurons contributing to loss of sense of smell. Targeting these key cytokine pathways has emerged as an effective approach for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory airway diseases, and a number of biologic agents are now available or in development for CRSwNP. In this review, we provide an overview of the inflammatory pathways involved in CRSwNP and describe how targeting key drivers of type 2 inflammation is an effective therapeutic option for patients.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogenic disease characterized by persistent mucosal inflammation of the upper airway. Researches of CRS have progressed from phenotype-based to endotype-based, looking more deeply into molecular biomarkers, signaling pathways, and immune microenvironment. Single-cell RNA sequencing is an effective tool in analyzing composition, function, and interaction of cells in disease microenvironment at transcriptome level, showing great advantage in analyzing potential biomarkers, pathogenesis, and heterogeneity of chronic airway inflammation in an unbiased manner. In this article, we will review the latest advances in scRNA-seq studies of CRS to provide new perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of this heterogeneous disease.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to determine indices to diagnose and predict eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) during the initial clinic visit. Patients and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 116 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery and were classified according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. General data and various clinical indicators were analyzed, and indicators with statistically significant differences between groups were further incorporated into a multivariate logistic regression to establish a comprehensive prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the two significant valuable single factors from previous studies, the difference in CT scores between the ethmoid sinus and the sum difference of the maxillary sinus (EM difference) and the absolute value of peripheral blood eosinophil (bEOS), with a comprehensive prediction model. Results There were significant differences in history of allergic asthma (p < 0.001), visual analog scale (VAS) score (p=0.005), sino-nasal outcome test-22(SNOT-22) scale score (p=0.004), Lund-Mackay scale score (p=0.017), EM difference (p=0.002), percentage of bEOS (%)(p=0.001), and absolute value of bEOS (×109/L) (p=0.000) between the two groups (p< 0.05). The history of allergic disease, VAS and bEOS were screened out and included in the comprehensive prediction model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the comprehensive prediction model (0.804)> the AUC of the absolute value of the bEOS (0.764)>the AUC of the EM difference (0.655). The AUC of the EM difference and the comprehensive prediction model were statistically different (P=0.025). There was no statistical difference between the absolute value of bEOS and the AUC of the comprehensive prediction model. Conclusion The comprehensive prediction model covering the three aspects of allergic asthma history, VAS score, and bEOS count had the highest AUC compared to the other predictors and had good predictive power for the diagnosis of ECRS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the past year, the endotype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been studied from a new perspective. Eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation are not independent processes in the pathogenesis of CRS. In this review, we will focus on recent research on mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic inflammation in CRS and discuss the mechanism and potential treatments. RECENT FINDINGS Traditionally, patients with eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) present with severe clinical manifestations, comorbidities, and a higher recurrence rate. Recent studies have found that approximately 40% of patients with ECRS present with neutrophilic infiltration, while patients with predominantly eosinophilic infiltration along with neutrophilic inflammation present with more complex inflammation, clinical manifestations and exhibit refractory characteristics. SUMMARY The complex inflammatory profile and refractory clinical characteristics of mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic inflammation in CRS are current challenges for clinicians. We summarize the features of eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation and current studies on the mechanisms of mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic inflammation and suggest potentially effective therapeutic methods. We hope that this review will help with determining precise treatment options for patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease, and its complex pathophysiological characteristics pose a challenge to its clinical treatment. CRS is distinguished not only by clinical phenotype but also by endotype characteristics, which are divided into type 2 CRS and non-type 2 CRS. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize and discuss current studies that depict the mechanisms and endotypes of CRS. In particular, inflammatory cells and the microbiome play a role in the pathophysiology of CRS. We also listed some of the biomarkers described in recent studies that may serve as a theoretical foundation for additional investigations. We have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of existing treatments and listed the available biological treatments for CRS in detail. EXPERT OPINION Endotype-driven therapeutic options face many challenges because of the complexity of the disease. Glucocorticoids, nasal endoscopic surgery, and biological therapy are the main treatments used in clinical practice, but they have limitations. This review provides advice on the clinical management and treatment options for patients with different endotypes, which will be more conducive to improving the quality of life and reducing the financial burden on patients.

[PMID: 37538404 PMCID: PMC10393814 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2023.100796] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Type 2 CRSwNP is characterized by severe symptoms, multiple comorbidities, longer recovery course and high recurrence rate. A simple and cost-effective diagnostic model for CRSwNP endotype integrating clinical characteristics and histopathological features is urgently needed. Objective To establish a clinical diagnostic model of inflammatory endotype in CRSwNP based on the clinical characteristics, pathological characteristics, and cytokines profile in the polyp tissue of patients. Methods A total of 244 participants with CRSwNP were enrolled at 2 different centers in China and Belgium from 2018 to 2020. IL-5 level of nasal polyp tissue was used as gold standard. Clinical characteristics were used to establish diagnostic models. The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance. The study was approved by the ethics board of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University ([2020] 302), and written informed consent was obtained from all subjects before inclusion. Results In total, 134 patients from China (training set) and 110 patients from Belgium (validation set) were included. The logistic regression (LR) model in predicting inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP showed the AUC of 83%, which was better than the diagnostic performance of machine learning models (AUC of 61.14%-82.42%), and single clinical variables. We developed a simplified scoring system based on LR model which shows similar diagnostic performance to the LR model (P = 0.6633). Conclusion The LR model in this diagnostic study provided greater accuracy in prediction of inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP than those obtained from the machine learning model and single clinical variable. This indicates great potential for the use of diagnostic model to facilitate inflammatory endotype evaluation when tissue cytokines are unable to be measured.

Front Immunol 2023; 14:1171308. [PMID: 37325657 PMCID: PMC10267736 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1171308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), whose prevalence and pathogenesis are age-related, is characterized by nasal tissue eosinophil infiltration. CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) pathway involves in the eosinophil-mediated inflammation, and inducible co-stimulator (ICOS)-ICOS ligand (ICOSL) signal can strengthen CD40-CD40L interaction. Whether CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL have a role in the development of CRS remains unknown. Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the association of CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL expression with CRS and underlying mechanisms. Methods Immunohistology detected the expression of CD40, CD40L, ICOS, and ICOSL. Immunofluorescence was performed to evaluate the co-localizations of CD40 or ICOSL with eosinophils. Correlations between CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL as well as clinical parameters were analyzed. Flow cytometry was used to explore the activation of eosinophils by CD69 expression and the CD40 and ICOSL expression on eosinophils. Results Compared with the non-eCRS subset, ECRS (eosinophilic CRS) subset showed significantly increased CD40, ICOS, and ICOSL expression. The CD40, CD40L, ICOS, and ICOSL expressions were all positively correlated with eosinophil infiltration in nasal tissues. CD40 and ICOSL were mainly expressed on eosinophils. ICOS expression was significantly correlated with the expression of CD40-CD40L, whereas ICOSL expression was correlated with CD40 expression. ICOS-ICOSL expression positively correlated with blood eosinophils count and disease severity. rhCD40L and rhICOS significantly enhanced the activation of eosinophils from patients with ECRS. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) obviously upregulated CD40 expression on eosinophils, which was significantly inhibited by the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor. Conclusions Increased CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL expressions in nasal tissues are linked to eosinophils infiltration and disease severity of CRS. CD40-CD40L and ICOS-ICOSL signals enhance eosinophils activation of ECRS. TNF-α and IL-5 regulate eosinophils function by increasing CD40 expression partly via p38 MAPK activation in patients with CRS.

Subjective symptoms as predictors for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in the Chinese population. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2023:10.1007/s00405-023-07905-1. [PMID: 36917251 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-023-07905-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the putative association between subjective symptoms and eosinophilic inflammation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). METHODS A total of 102 patients with CRSwNP who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were prospectively enrolled. The Sinonasal Outcomes Test-22 scores (SNOT-22), EuroQol 5-dimensional Questionnaire scores (ED-5D), and Lund-Mackay scores by computed tomography (CT) were obtained. Patients were grouped as eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (neCRSwNP). ECRSwNP was defined if tissue eosinophils of nasal polyps were greater than or equal to 8/HPF according to positive major basic protein (MBP) staining, and neCRSwNP otherwise. RESULTS Thirty neCRSwNP and 72 eCRSwNP patients were included. ECRSwNP patients had higher incidences of asthma (p = 0.001), allergic rhinitis (p = 0.001), and ethmoid-to-maxillary opacification ratio on CT scans (p < 0.001), whereas the proportion of purulent discharge (p < 0.001) and maxillary sinus score (p = 0.002) was higher in the neCRSwNP patients. There were no significant differences between patients on the mains of the EQ-5D health utility values and total SNOT-22 score. However, eCRSwNP patients had higher SNOT-22 scores of sneezing (p = 0.006), runny nose (p < 0.001), and ear/facial domain (p = 0.012), and lower scores of thick nasal discharge (p = 0.015) and blockage (p = 0.042). Sneezing, thick nasal discharge, and blockage/congestion of nose were recognized as independent factors of CRSwNP. CONCLUSION Sneezing was an independent predictor of eCRSwNP, and thick nasal discharge and blockage/congestion of nose were independent predictors of neCRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on the endotyping of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) that were based on inflammatory factors have broadened our understanding of the disease. However, the endotype of CRS combined with inflammatory and remodeling features has not yet been clearly elucidated. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify the endotypes of patients with CRS according to inflammatory and remodeling factors. METHODS Forty-eight inflammatory and remodeling factors in the nasal mucosal tissues of 128 CRS patients and 24 control subjects from northern China were analyzed by Luminex, ELISA, and ImmunoCAP. Sixteen factors were used to perform the cluster analysis. The characteristics of each cluster were analyzed using correlation analysis and validated by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS Patients were classified into 5 clusters. Clusters 1 and 2 showed non-type 2 signatures with low biomarker concentrations, except for IL-19 and IL-27. Cluster 3 involved a low type 2 endotype with the highest expression of neutrophil factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, IL-8, and myeloperoxidase, and remodeling factors, such as matrix metalloproteinases and fibronectin. Cluster 4 exhibited moderate type 2 inflammation. Cluster 5 exhibited high type 2 inflammation, which was associated with relatively higher levels of neutrophil and remodeling factors. The proportion of CRS with nasal polyps, asthma, allergies, anosmia, aspirin sensitivity, and the recurrence of CRS increased from clusters 1 to 5. CONCLUSION Diverse inflammatory mechanisms result in distinct CRS endotypes and remodeling profiles. The explicit differentiation and accurate description of these endotypes will guide targeted treatment decisions.

Development, Validation and Comparison of Artificial Neural Network and Logistic Regression Models Predicting Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps. ALLERGY, ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH 2022; 15:67-82. [PMID: 36693359 PMCID: PMC9880304 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2023.15.1.67] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) can be classified into eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP) and non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (non-eCRSwNP) by tissue biopsy, which is difficult to perform preoperatively. Clinical biomarkers have predictive value for the classification of CRSwNP. We aimed to evaluate the application of artificial neural network (ANN) modeling in distinguishing different endotypes of CRSwNP based on clinical biomarkers. METHODS Clinical parameters were collected from 109 CRSwNP patients, and their predictive ability was analyzed. ANN and logistic regression (LR) models were developed in the training group (72 patients) and further tested in the test group (37 patients). The output variable was the diagnosis of eCRSwNP, defined as tissue eosinophil count > 10 per high-power field. The receiver operating characteristics curve was used to assess model performance. RESULTS A total of 15 clinical features from 60 healthy controls, 60 eCRSwNP and 49 non-eCRSwNP were selected as candidate predictors. Nasal nitric oxide levels, peripheral eosinophil absolute count, total immunoglobulin E, and ratio of bilateral computed tomography scores for the ethmoid sinus and maxillary sinus were identified as important features for modeling. Two ANN models based on 4 and 15 clinical features were developed to predict eCRSwNP, which showed better performance, with the area under the receiver operator characteristics significantly higher than those from the respective LR models (0.976 vs. 0.902, P = 0.048; 0.970 vs. 0.845, P = 0.011). All ANN models had better fits than single variable prediction models (all P < 0.05), and ANN model 1 had the best predictive performance among all models. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning models assist clinicians in predicting endotypes of nasal polyps before invasive detection. The ANN model has the potential to predict eCRSwNP with high sensitivity and specificity, and is superior to the LR model. ANNs are valuable for optimizing personalized patient management.

Abstract
Background: Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) is an endotype of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps characterized by more severe symptoms, a stronger association with asthma and a greater recurrence risk. It is unknown whether DNA hydroxymethylation could influence ECRSwNP. Methods: Hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing was carried out in three distinct groups (control, ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP). Additional qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve were performed. Results: Between ECRSwNP and NECRSwNP, 26 genes exhibited differential DNA hydroxymethylation. Consistent with their hydroxymethylation level, GNAL, INPP4A and IRF4 expression levels were significantly different between ECRSwNP and the other two groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed that INPP4A mRNA has a high predictive accuracy for ECRSwNP. Conclusion: DNA hydroxymethylation regulates the expression of multiple genes in ECRSwNP. INPP4A mRNA was markedly decreased in ECRSwNP polyps and can predict ECRSwNP.

Th17/1-Biased Inflammatory Environment Involved in the Response of Epithelial Cells to Antigen Stimuli in Nasal Polyps. J Immunol Res 2021; 2021:5531606.

Abstract
Several studies showed that IL-17A was significantly increased in nasal polyps (NPs). However, the source and characteristics of IL-17A-producing cells in NPs were not fully understood. We isolated mononuclear cells from NPs and uncinate tissues and analyzed them using flow cytometry. The results indicated that IL-17A was increased in NP tissues compared to uncinate tissues. The main IL-17A-expressing cells were CD3+ T cells in NP tissues, including Th17 cells, Tc17 cells, and γδT17 cells. Not similar to those in uncinate tissues, the majority of Th17 cells highly coexpressed IFN-γ in NP tissues, such as Th17/1 cells, which highly expressed CXCR3, CCR6, RORγt, and T-bet. Furthermore, Th17/1-biased environment increased the response of nasal epithelial cells to bacterial and viral stimuli, implying that Th17/1 cells play a greater role in the pathological development of NPs than Th17 or Th1 cells.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammation‑mediated disease of the nasal mucosa. P2X7R has been reported to be a potential biomarker for inflammation. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of P2X7R in CRSwNP, and the interaction between P2X7R and the NLRP3 inflammasome in the development of CRSwNP. Firstly, the expression profiles of P2X7R in nasal mucosa were investigated using western blotting (WB), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Next, the effect of inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) combined with 2'(3')‑O‑(4‑benzoylbenzoyl) adenosine 5'‑triphosphate triethylammonium salt (BzATP) on primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) was determined. Then, the therapeutic effect of the selective P2X7R antagonist, A740003, on P3X7R, NOD‑like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and IL‑1β alterations in HNECs was explored using enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay, WB and PCR. It was found that P2X7R was overexpressed in CRSwNP, especially in eosinophilic CRSwNP, the expression of P2X7R, NLRP3 and IL‑1β were upregulated in HNECs after induction by LPS combined with BzATP; but the expression of NLRP3 and IL‑1β were downregulated after stimulation with A740003. The aforementioned results indicate that P2X7R‑mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation may have a role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.

Abstract
The enigmatic eosinophil has emerged as an exciting component of the immune system, involved in a plethora of homeostatic and inflammatory responses. Substantial progress has been achieved through experimental systems manipulating eosinophils in vivo, initially in mice and more recently in humans. Researchers using eosinophil knockout mice have identified a contributory role for eosinophils in basal and inflammatory processes and protective immunity. Primarily fueled by the purported proinflammatory role of eosinophils in eosinophil-associated diseases, a series of anti-eosinophil therapeutics have emerged as a new class of drugs. These agents, which dramatically deplete eosinophils, provide a valuable opportunity to characterize the consequences of eosinophil knockout humans. Herein, we comparatively describe mouse and human eosinophil knockouts. We put forth the view that human eosinophils negatively contribute to a variety of diseases and, unlike mouse eosinophils, do not yet have an identified role in physiological health; thus, clarifying all roles of eosinophils remains an ongoing pursuit.

The changes of clinical and histological characteristics of chronic rhinosinusitis in 18 years: Was there an inflammatory pattern shift in southern China? World Allergy Organ J 2021; 14:100531. [PMID: 33995817 PMCID: PMC8080070 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2021.100531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 02/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nowadays, the heterogeneity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has attracted extensive attention. The histological patterns and clinical characteristics may vary greatly in different areas and among different groups of people. Prior studies found a shift from the neutrophilic inflammatory pattern to the eosinophilic inflammatory pattern in Asian cities. This study set out with the aim of investigating the changes that have occurred in the past 18 years of southern China and exploring the causes. Methods Tissues, clinical, and demographic characteristics were obtained from 473 patients (91 in 2000–2001, 170 in 2010–2011, 212 in 2017–2018) who satisfied the criteria of diffuse (bilateral) chronic rhinosinusitis. The clinical characteristics, including the previous history of allergic rhinitis and asthma, and the major symptoms of rhinosinusitis, were collected. Formalin-fixed nasal tissue was obtained from each patient for calculating inflammatory cells. We also performed immunohistochemistry to evaluate the expression levels of eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP), IgE, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and other Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 related inflammatory cytokines. Results The comorbidity of asthma and atopic disease was higher in 2017–2018 compared to 2000–2001. The histological characteristics revealed a significant increase in tissue eosinophils and decrease in neutrophils in 2017–2018 as compared with 2000–2001. Meanwhile, the proportion of eosinophilic CRS (eCRS) increased significantly from 2000 to 2001 to 2017–2018 (P = 0.03). The tissue eosinophil increase was higher in overweight patients (Body Mass Index, BMI≥24) as compared with non-overweight. There was an increasing trend of ECP, IL-13 and IL-17. Besides, IFN-γ and TNF-α decreased. Conclusions There was an eosinophilic shift of diffuse rhinosinusitis inflammatory pattern in southern China over the last 18 years. The proportion of eCRS and difficult-to-treat rhinosinusitis has steadily increased, which is associated with the increase of Type 2, Type 3 cytokines and the decrease of Type 1 cytokines. This study also provided firstly evidence of a strong relationship between overweight and eosinophil shift in the southern Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of eosinophilic CRSwNP in China has increased significantly over the last 20 years, noninvasive methods that could assist in diagnosis are urgently needed. AIMS The aim of this study is to explore the clinical significance of peripheral blood eosinophil in diagnosing ECRS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective study of 221 patients diagnosed with CRS. Lund-Mackay score, peripheral blood eosinophil absolute count, peripheral blood eosinophil percentage were detection to compare the clinical features with ECRS and non-ECRS. ROC curve was performed to assess the efficiency of clinical index to predict ECRS. RESULTS The ECRS group of patients had significantly higher scores compared with those of the non-ECRS group. Different extent and severity of mucosal thickening on total Lund-Mackay scores, anterior ethmoidal, posterior ethmoidal and ostiomeatal complex have confirmed different blood eosinophil levels in CRS patients. The combination of peripheral blood eosinophil percentage and posterior ethmoidal score to predict ECRS was 0.807. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE The increase in peripheral blood eosinophil percent indicates the deterioration the inflammation of chronic rhinosinusitis and the level of posterior ethmoidal score and peripheral blood eosinophil percentage have a positive predictive value regarding ECRS identification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have shown that inflammatory patterns of nasal polyps from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in East Asia have changed over time. However, to date there is a marked lack of similar data for CRSwNP in Northern China. This study thus aimed to assess the changes in the clinical and histological characteristics of CRSwNP patients from Northern China over the past 2-3 decades. METHODS This was a retrospective study, which examined data from 2 groups of 150 CRSwNP patients each, who had undergone endoscopic sinus surgery in Beijing Tongren Hospital from 1993 to 1995 (group A) and from 2015 to 2019 (group B). All relevant data for demographic, clinical, and histological parameters were collected for each patient from the 2 groups and compared for overall changes between the 2 groups. RESULTS The comorbidity of CRSwNP and asthma increased over time and the cellular phenotype of CRSwNPchanged significantly; in particular, the proportion of eosinophil-dominant CRSwNP increased, lymphocyte-dominant and plasma-dominant CRSwNP decreased significantly, and the proportions of neutrophil-dominant and mixed CRSwNP were not altered. The rate of polyp recurrence increased in CRSwNP but did not in eosinophilic CRSwNP. Smoking and age did not significantly impact the inflammatory patterns of CRSwNP. CONCLUSIONS The inflammatory patterns of CRSwNP patients have changed and comorbidity of asthma significantly increased in CRSwNP patients in Northern China over the past 2-3 decades.

Abstract
Introduction Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) constitute the first line of defense against pathogenic microorganisms in the airway. The association between AMPs and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) requires further investigations. This study is aimed at investigating the expression and regulation of major dysregulated AMPs in the nasal mucosa of CRSwNP. Methods The expression of AMPs was analyzed in nasal tissue from patients with eosinophilic (E) CRSwNP and nonECRSwNP and healthy subjects using RNA sequencing. The 10 most abundant AMPs expressed differentially in CRSwNP patients were verified by real-time PCR, and of these, the expression and regulation of secretory leukoprotease inhibitor (SLPI) and clusterin (CLU) were investigated further. Results The 10 most abundant AMPs expressed differentially in CRSwNP compared to healthy control, regardless of subtypes, included BPIFA1, BPIFB1, BPIFB2, CLU, LTF, LYZ, and SLPI, which were downregulated, and S100A8, S100A9, and HIST1H2BC, which were upregulated. ELISA and immunofluorescence confirmed the decreased expression of SLPI and CLU levels in CRSwNP. SLPI is expressed in both nasal epithelial cells and glandular cells, whereas CLU is mainly expressed in glandular cells. AB/PAS staining further demonstrated that both SLPI and CLU were mainly produced by mucous cells in submucosal glands. Furthermore, the numbers of submucosal glands were significantly decreased in nasal polyp tissue of CRSwNP compared to nasal tissue of controls. SLPI was downregulated by TGF-β1 and IL-4 in cultured nasal tissues in vitro, while CLU expression was inhibited by TGF-β1. Glucocorticoid treatment for 2 weeks significantly increased the expression of all downregulated AMPs, but not LYZ. Additionally, budesonide significantly increased the expression of SLPI and CLU in cultured nasal tissues. Conclusion The expression of major antimicrobial proteins is significantly decreased in nasal tissue of CRSwNP. The expression of SLPI and CLU is correlated with the numbers of submucosal glands and regulated by inflammatory cytokines and glucocorticoids.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyposis is a complex medical condition characterized by varying patterns of chronic innate and adaptive mucosal inflammation. Treatment of CRS has been traditionally limited to corticosteroids and sinus surgery; however, novel biologics have more recently been evaluated as steroid- and surgery-sparing options. While it is clear that there are different subtypes or endotypes of CRS, perhaps the most frequent presentation involves the features of type 2 inflammation, including a prominent tissue eosinophilia component. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on eosinophil biology as well as on the potential contribution of eosinophils and their mediators to the pathophysiology of CRS, drawing mechanistic conclusions mainly from studies of human sinus mucosal tissues, nasal secretions, and benefits (or lack thereof) from the use of various pharmacotherapies. The unavoidable conclusion derived from this approach is that eosinophils themselves cannot fully explain the underlying pathophysiology of this complex disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preoperative prediction of the recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains difficult in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop a nomogram that combined peripheral risk factors to clinically predict the recurrence of CRSwNP. METHODS Data from 158 CRSwNP patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) from January 2012 to December 2016 were collected, and the patients were followed up for 3 years. Of these, 96 patients who underwent ESS in an earlier period formed the training cohort for nomogram development, and 62 patients who underwent ESS thereafter formed the validation cohort to confirm the model's performance. Risk factors for recurrence identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to create a nomogram. RESULTS The recurrence rate was 29.2% (28/96) for the training cohort and 35.5% (22/62) for the validation cohort. Univariate analysis identified blood eosinophils (Eos), serum IgE level, asthma comorbidity, and the number of previous ESSs as risk factors for recurrence. Among those four parameters, serum IgE level and a previous ESS surgery were identified as two independent risk factors. A nomogram consisting of blood Eos, total serum IgE level, asthma comorbidity, and the number of previous ESSs was constructed, demonstrating a C index of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.79-0.83) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.77-0.83) for predicting recurrence in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The nomogram had well-fitted calibration curves. CONCLUSION The nomogram might be able to preoperatively predict the recurrence of CRSwNP by using currently available and objective parameters. Further studies are required to validate its reliability and effectiveness.

Formation of nasal polyps: The roles of innate type 2 inflammation and deposition of fibrin. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2020; 145:740-750. [PMID: 32145873 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2020.01.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 01/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. It is a heterogeneous disease, and geographical or ethnic differences in inflammatory pattern in nasal mucosa are major issues. Tissue eosinophilia in CRS is highly associated with extensive sinus disease, recalcitrance, and a higher nasal polyp (NP) recurrence rate after surgery. The prevalence of eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) is increasing in Asian countries within the last 2 decades, and this trend appears to be occurring across the world. International consensus criteria for ECRS are required for the accurate understanding of disease pathology and precision medicine. In a multicenter large-scale epidemiological survey, the "Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis study," ECRS was definitively defined when the eosinophil count in nasal mucosa is greater than or equal to 70 eosinophils/hpf (magnification, ×400), and this study proposed an algorithm that classifies CRS into 4 groups according to disease severity. The main therapeutic goal with ECRS is to eliminate or diminish the bulk of NP tissue. NPs are unique abnormal lesions that grow from the lining of the nasal and paranasal sinuses, and type 2 inflammation plays a critical role in NP development in patients with ECRS. An imbalance between protease and endogenous protease inhibitors might play a pivotal role in the initiation and exacerbation of type 2 inflammation in ECRS. Intraepithelial mast cells in NPs, showing a tryptase+, chymase- phenotype, may also enhance type 2 inflammation. Intense edema and reduced fibrosis are important histological features of eosinophilic NPs. Mucosal edema mainly consists of exuded plasma protein, and excessive fibrin deposition would be expected to contribute to the retention of proteins from capillaries and thereby perpetuate mucosal edema that may play an etiological role in NPs. Upregulation of the coagulation cascade and downregulation of fibrinolysis strongly induce abnormal fibrin deposition in nasal mucosa, and type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the imbalance of coagulation and fibrinolysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to determine the epidemiology and clinical burden of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and to describe how the addition of biologics has affected outcomes for patients with CRSwNP. METHODS The SLR adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Embase, MEDLINE, and Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews databases were searched using OVID. Relevant studies published between 1 January 2008 and 8 February 2019, for epidemiology, and 1 January 2008 and 16 February 2019, for clinical burden, and relevant conference abstracts from 1 January 2017 to 7 March 2019, for epidemiology and 1 January 2017-16 February 2019 for clinical burden were included. RESULTS For the epidemiology and clinical burden SLR, 147 and 119 records, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. We found the prevalence of CRSwNP was 1-2.6% and was greater in men. Asthma, allergy, and allergic rhinitis were the most common comorbidities identified. Reported risk factors included asthma, gene polymorphisms, age, and eosinophilia. Studies indicated that dupilumab, mepolizumab, and omalizumab each improved different clinical outcomes. Non-biologics (drugs such as corticosteroids or antibiotics, surgery, or aspirin desensitization) improved clinical outcomes as well. CONCLUSIONS CRSwNP is fairly prevalent in the general population. Despite the significant efficacy of existing treatments, several unmet needs remain. The high burden of uncontrolled symptoms, frequent recurrence of nasal polyps after surgery, and long-term adverse effects of oral corticosteroids indicate that new therapies addressing these unmet needs should be developed. Although data on biologics from randomized controlled trials look promising, the efficacy of biologics in the real world has yet to be established. The SLR of the epidemiology and clinical burden of CRSwNP revealed key gaps in the literature. There was a paucity of prevalence data across many geographic areas, and no prevalence projections could be determined. Studies showed varying efficacy of non-biologics and no studies directly compared biologics for efficacy. Data regarding clinical efficacy of agents for eosinophilic CRSwNP or severe CRSwNP were lacking, and these patient populations would be served by more trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A hallmark of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (eCRSwNP) is mucosal eosinophil-predominant inflammation. Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is a known biomarker of eosinophilic inflammation in the upper airway. However, the utility of nNO measurement in the upper airway remains controversial. The present study aimed to compare the use of other clinical parameters with nNO to prediagnose patients with eCRSwNP from Central China. METHODS From June 2019 to December 2019, 70 patients with CRSwNP undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled. nNO measurements were performed in all of these subjects. Computed tomography scans, full blood count with differential analysis, and determination of total immunoglobulin E (total IgE) and plasma cytokines were performed before surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curves and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the predictive potential of the clinical parameters. RESULTS We recruited 24 patients with eCRSwNP and 46 with noneosinophilic CRSwNP (non-eCRSwNP). In patients with eCRSwNP, nNO levels were significantly higher than those in patients with non-eCRSwNP (p < 0.0001). Blood eosinophil percentages and counts, total IgE, and CT-derived ethmoid sinus and maxillary sinus ratio (E/M ratio) were all significantly higher compared with those in patients with non-eCRSwNP (p < 0.05). To diagnose eCRSwNP, the highest area under the curve (0.803) was determined for nNO. At a cutoff of >329 parts per billion (ppb), the sensitivity was 83.30% and the specificity was 71.70%. However, the levels of plasma cytokines Th1/Th2 were not significantly different between the histological types of CRSwNP (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Measurement of nNO is useful for the early diagnosis of eCRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Local and systemic glucocorticoids are mainstay therapies for chronic rhinosinusitis. With respect to local glucocorticoids, nasal spray is used extensively, but some patients do not benefit from short-course treatment. Recently, some clinicians have focused on the effects of high-dose local glucocorticoids in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), such as treatment using nasal irrigation, transnasal nebulization, and nose-dripping therapy (nasal drop) with high-dose budesonide. However, there are little data comparing the effect of short-course high-dose local glucocorticoids with regular nasal spray and oral steroids in the treatment of preoperative CRSwNP patients. Furthermore, the appropriate use of different types of glucocorticoids in different endotypes of CRSwNP remains unclear. METHODS This randomized controlled clinical research study was performed at a single academic center. Patients who satisfied the criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis with bilateral nasal polyps were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive oral methylprednisolone, 24 mg/d and budesonide nasal spray, 256 μg/d, or intranasal budesonide suspension, 1 mg/d and budesonide nasal spray, 256 μg/d, or budesonide nasal spray, 256 μg/d for one week. Symptoms, endoscopic scores, and tissue and blood inflammatory cells were recorded before and after the study. Adverse events were recorded by clinicians. RESULTS A total of 127 patients with CRSwNP underwent randomization. The total nasal symptoms scores (TNSS) decreased significantly in all groups compared to those at baseline. The assessment of the reduction in TNSS demonstrated that the change was significantly greater in the nasal drop group than in the nasal spray group (-7.47 vs -4.10, P = 0.032), and it was also greater in the oral steroid group than in the nasal spray group (-7.30 vs -4.10, P = 0.039). A similar trend also appeared in the reduction in Sinonasal-Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22). After treatment, a significantly reduction in NP score was observed in the nasal drop group (-0.82) and oral steroid group (-0.85) compared with that in the nasal spray group (-0.10), and there was no significant difference between the nasal drop and oral steroid groups (P = 0.98). While calculating the percentage of patients who were sensitive to glucocorticoid treatment, there was 10.26% in the nasal spray group, 47.37% in the nasal drop group, and 52.50% in the oral steroid group that were sensitive to glucocorticoid treatment. The reduction in NP score was more significant in patients with eosinophilic CRSwNP in the nasal drop group and oral steroid group than in the nasal spray group. However, in patients with non-eosinophilic CRSwNP, the change in NP size was similar in the different treatment groups. CONCLUSION Budesonide suspension nasal drop can significantly improve the quality of life and reduce the endoscopic score following short-course treatment, and the treatment effect of nasal drop was better than that of regular nasal spray. Budesonide nasal suspension can be used as a regular treatment for eosinophilic CRSwNP and can be an alternative choice for patients with a high percentage of tissue eosinophil infiltration who cannot use oral glucocorticoids.

Abstract
The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines-with a focus on China-will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

Abstract
Background Eosinophilic (Eos) and non-eosinophilic (non-Eos) chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) react differently to clinical treatment, with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Eos CRSwNP) being more likely to recur after surgery. Objective To explore the clinical value of the visual analog scale (VAS), nasal endoscopy score (Lund–Kennedy, L–K), computed tomography (CT) score (Lund–Mackay scoring system, L–M), and blood Eos percentage in the differential diagnosis of Eos CRSwNP and non-Eos CRSwNP. Methods Ninety-nine patients with CRSwNP were enrolled in this study and assigned to 2 groups (Eos CRSwNP and non-Eos CRSwNP). The blood Eos percentage and VAS, L–K, and L–M scores in the 2 groups of patients were compared. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to assess the usefulness of VAS, L–K, and L–M scores for differentiating Eos CRSwNP and non-Eos CRSwNP. Results There were significantly differences between the Eos CRSwNP group and non-Eos CRSwNP group in the following scores: blood Eos percentage, mean VAS score, olfaction/VAS, general discomfort/L–K, edema score/L–K, olfactory cleft (OC) score via endoscopy, mean L–M score, anteriorethmoid sinus score, posterior ethmoid sinus score, sphenoid sinus score, frontal sinus score, and OC score via CT. An ROC analysis showed that blood Eos percentage had the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) value (0.749); however, several other scores (olfaction score/VAS, edema score/L–K, and mean L–M score) also had high AUC values. The combination of olfaction score/VAS and blood Eos percentage had the highest clinical convenience score as well as high sensitivity and specificity. A combination of cutoff values for the 2 predictors (blood Eos percentage ≥3.85%, olfaction score/VAS score ≥3) showed a sensitivity of 75.5% and a specificity of 78.0%. Conclusion The olfaction score/VAS score and the blood Eos percentage can be combined to differentiate Eos CRSwNP from non-Eos CRSwNP in a Chinese population.
