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.

Olfactory neuroepithelium in the middle turbinate: is there any impact on olfaction function after lateral marsupialization for concha bullosa surgery? Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2021; 88 Suppl 5:S12-S18. [PMID: 34348856 PMCID: PMC9800953 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjorl.2021.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effect of the quantity of olfactory neuroepithelium in the middle turbinate on the postoperative olfactory function for middle turbinate concha bullosa patients has not yet been evaluated. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to investigate the olfactory structures in the middle turbinate by immunohistochemical analysis of the olfactory marker protein and to correlate the immunostaining results with the olfaction test results for patients with middle turbinate concha bullosa. METHODS Surgical materials of 18 middle turbinate concha bullosa patients who had undergone lateral marsupialization surgery were immunostained with olfactory marker protein antibodies. Smell diskettes olfaction test was applied to all of the study group patients both preoperatively and three months postoperatively. A visual analog scale was used to quantify the sense of nasal obstruction. RESULTS It was observed that the postoperative smell scores and the nasal obstruction visual analog scale values were significantly improved as compared to the preoperative values (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant correlation between the smell score gain and the visual analog scale gain values (r = 0.682). Results also indicated no significant correlation between the olfactory marker protein staining scores and the smell scores (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION This first paper demonstrated that the quantity of the olfactory mucosa in the middle turbinate was not a determining factor for the postoperative smell function degree for middle turbinate concha bullosa patients. The underlying cause of the olfactory deficit for middle turbinate concha bullosa patients seems to be obstruction related rather than the middle turbinate's olfactory mucosa containing status.

Canonical Wnt Signaling Drives Tumor-Like Lesions from Sox2-Positive Precursors of the Murine Olfactory Epithelium. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0166690.

Abstract
Canonical Wnt signaling is known to promote proliferation of olfactory stem cells. In order to investigate the effects of a constitutive activation of Wnt signaling in Sox2-positive precursor cells of the olfactory epithelium, we used transgenic mice that allowed an inducible deletion of exon 3 of the Ctnnb1 gene, which is responsible for the phosphorylation and degradation of Ctnnb1 protein. After induction of aberrant Wnt activation by Ctnnb1 deletion at embryonic day 14, such mice developed tumor-like lesions in upper parts of the nasal cavity. We still observed areas of epithelial hyperplasia within the olfactory epithelium following early postnatal Wnt activation, but the olfactory epithelial architecture remained unaffected in most parts when Wnt was activated at postnatal day 21 or later. In summary, our results suggest an age-dependent tumorigenic potential of aberrant Wnt signaling in the olfactory epithelium of mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This research aimed to evaluate pre-operatively and post-operatively the olfactory function of patients who had undergone surgery in our clinic for chronic nasal blockage via the Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center (CCCRC) smell test. METHOD Thirty-seven patients (24 females, 13 males) were enrolled in this study. All had undergone surgery in our clinic due to chronic nasal blockage (not for smell dysfunction), having been diagnosed with septal deviation in conjunction with concha bullosa and/or inferior turbinate hypertrophy. This is a prospective study without a control group. The mean age was 33.74 ± 8.98 (range =19-54). All of the operations were performed under general anesthesia. CCCRC smell tests were performed on every patient before the operation and at post-operative 1st week, 6th week, 6th month, and 1st year. RESULTS In this study, we found that septoplasty, in conjunction with middle concha surgery and/or inferior concha radiofrequency, did not affect the olfactory function negatively. CONCLUSION Although nasal surgery has the potential to affect the smell function negatively, it was found that olfactory function was not affected after the surgery during a considerably long follow-up period. Moreover, an improvement in smell function was detected at post-operative 6th month and 1st year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical ethmoidectomy for nasal polyposis (nasalisation) tends to offer better results than functional ethmoidectomy in terms of recurrence. We have been performing the nasalisation technique since 2004, but late complications such as mucoceles were noted in several patients. We implemented some modifications to the nasalisation technique in order to reduce the complication rate while obtaining a similar recurrence rate. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL Retrospective study on the files of patients operated for diffuse nasal polyposis after 24months of follow-up. Group A included 45 patients (90 sides) operated with the classical nasalisation technique, and group B included 74 patients (148 sides) operated with the modified technique. RESULTS Preoperative endoscopic grading results did not show any significant difference between groups. Recurrence rates at 24months of postoperative follow-up were of 22.2% and of 18.9% for group A and B respectively. This difference was not statistically significant. Complication rates were of 37.8% and 8.8% for Group A and Group B respectively. Complication rate was significantly lower for group B (P=0.002, standard deviation of 0.467). CONCLUSIONS The modified nasalisation technique offers the same functional results than the classical technique, but with a significant reduction of the late complication rate.

Abstract
Olfaction is an essential chemosensory system in the living world. Although less appreciated in humans, smell impairment significantly affects many aspects of quality of life. Smell disorders may be caused by an impaired nasal airway or by lesions in the olfactory system, leading to reduced or distorted smell perception. The most common causes of smell disorders are aging, upper respiratory tract infection, sinonasal disease, and head trauma. Recovery is rarely complete. Counseling is important in progressive or severe smell loss. In patients with distorted smell perception, antidepressant medication is sometimes necessary. Best response to treatment is achieved for nasal obstruction and sinonasal inflammatory disease. Treatment of olfactory impairment caused by sinonasal disease includes medication with topical and systemic steroids, or surgery for refractory cases. Although there are reports that surgical resection of olfactory neurons may lead to reinnervation and recovery of smell, adequate treatment of the smell loss remains an unmet need.
