Abstract
BACKGROUND Large epidemiologic studies have suggested that a history of tobacco use may be associated with an increased risk of developing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The impact of tobacco use on revision rates of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), however, remains limited. OBJECTIVE This study seeks to define the independent risk of tobacco use (active or prior) on revision rates of ESS among a large cohort of patients with CRS. METHODS A state population database was queried for patients age ≥18 years with CRS who underwent at least one ESS between 1996 and 2018. Demographic characteristics, history of ESS, and tobacco use status were compared across patients with CRS, using t tests for continuous variables and χ2 tests for categorical variables. Unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression models were used to understand the impact of tobacco status on revision surgery. RESULTS The final analysis included 34 350 patients (29 916 CRS with no revision surgery and 4434 CRS with revision surgery). Unadjusted regression analysis demonstrated an increased odds of undergoing revision ESS (OR 1.12, 95% CI: 1.00-1.25, P = .05) among males with a history of tobacco use and CRS. Adjusted regression analysis demonstrated that the risk of revision ESS among CRS patients with a history of asthma and tobacco use was 1.72-fold, while the risk among CRS patients who were tobacco users without asthma was 1.11-fold. CONCLUSION History of tobacco use is an independent risk factor for revision ESS among patients with CRS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Latest literature proposes laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) as the underlying contributory factor for chronic inflammation in both upper and lower airways. In this study, we investigated LPR symptoms and signs of CRS patients and the various factors on their LPR symptoms and signs. We also evaluated the effect of the LPR symptoms and signs of CRS patients after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis from 91 patients who underwent primary ESS. They were assessed for LPR symptoms with Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Scores (RFS) before ESS. Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT)-22, Lund-Mackay (LM) scoring system, and Lund-Kennedy (LK) scoring system were evaluated for CRS severity. They had to fulfill SNOT-22, RSI, and RFS at 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Nasal polyps, smoking, asthma, allergy, LM scores and LK scores didn't have significant correlations with preoperative RSI and RFS (P > .05 for all). RSI had significant correlations with SNOT-22 preoperatively and postoperatively (P < .05 for all). RFS had a significant correlation with postoperative SNOT-22 (P = 0.034). RSI and RFS decreased significantly more after ESS (P < 0.001 for both). Smoking had a significant effect on the postoperative RFS (P = 0.003). Non-smoker showed significantly lower scores of postoperative RFS (P = .0.003). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that subjective CRS symptoms were related with subjective LPR symptoms and ESS was effective in reducing signs and symptoms of LPR in CRS patients. Especially, smoking was associated with less improvement of laryngoscopic findings after ESS.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), platelet-derived factor (PDGF), hyaluronic acid (HA) in nasal secretions and olfactory function in patients with chronic sinusitis before and after endoscopic sinus surgery. A total of 94 patients with chronic sinusitis treated at Xiangyang No.1 People's Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine (Xiangyang, China) from May 2016 to April 2017 were randomly divided into the control and observation groups, with 47 patients in each group. The observation underwent endoscopic sinus surgery, while the control group were treated with traditional extranasal surgery. The treatment efficacy of the two groups were compared 3 months after the treatment. A self-designed symptom questionnaire was used to evaluate the symptom scores. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the TNF-α, PDGF and HA levels in nasal secretions. The olfactory function of the patients was evaluated by the standard T&T olfactometry test. The life quality before and after the treatment was compared by using the SNOT-20 questionnaire. The treatment efficacy of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Both groups showed improved symptom scores after the treatment, while improvement in the observation group was more obvious (P<0.05). The observation showed significantly lower TNF-α level than the control group (P<0.05). One, four and eight weeks after treatment, the levels of PDGF and HA were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Both groups exhibited significantly improved olfactory function scores after treatment, and improvement in the observation group was more than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, decreased scores of SNOT-20 in the observation group was more significant (P<0.05). Compared with traditional surgery, endoscopic surgery resulted in lighter postoperative inflammatory responses, better nasal mucosa repair, and more improved postoperative olfactory function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is multidimensional. Disease heterogeneity in patients with CRS remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify endotypes of CRS using cluster analysis by integrating multidimensional characteristics and to explore their association with treatment outcomes. METHODS A total of 28 clinical variables and 39 mucosal cellular and molecular variables were analyzed using principal component analysis. Cluster analysis was performed on 246 prospectively recruited Chinese CRS patients with at least 1-year postoperative follow-up. Difficult-to-treat CRS was characterized in each generated cluster. RESULTS Seven subject clusters were identified. Cluster 1 (13.01%) was comparable to the classic well-defined eosinophilic CRS with polyps, having severe disease and the highest proportion of difficult-to-treat CRS. Patients in cluster 2 (16.26%) and cluster 4 (13.82%) had relatively lower proportions of presence of polyps and presented mild inflammation with moderate proportions of difficult-to-treat cases. Subjects in cluster 2 were highly atopic. Cluster 3 (7.31%) and cluster 6 (21.14%) were characterized by severe or moderate neutrophilic inflammation, respectively, and with elevated levels of IL-8 and high proportions of difficult-to-treat CRS. Cluster 5 (4.07%) was a unique group characterized by the highest levels of IL-10 and lacked difficult-to-treat cases. Cluster 7 (24.39%) demonstrated the lowest symptom severity, a low proportion of difficult-to-treat CRS, and low inflammation load. Finally, we found that difficult-to-treat CRS was associated with distinct clinical features and biomarkers in the different clusters. CONCLUSIONS Distinct clinicopathobiologic clusters of CRS display differences in clinical response to treatments and characteristics of difficult-to-treat CRS.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disorder that creates a significant burden on the healthcare system. It is caused by a combination of inflammatory, environmental, and host factors; however, the precise mechanism of how each factor leads to CRS continues to be a source of debate. Previous data regarding this topic is often inconsistent or of lower quality. In this article, we review the recent literature on the risk factors and comorbidities in CRS. Large population-based studies have helped establish smoking as a significant risk factor for CRS. The focus has now shifted towards smoking and its effect on long-term outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Ciliary dyskinesia, both primary and secondary, can affect both the sinonasal cavity and lower airways simultaneously by decreasing the beat frequency of cilia and inducing mucostasis. The effects of secondary dyskinesia may be reversible and there is some evidence to suggest the use of topical mucolytics in patients with CRS. Allergy and variants of sinonasal anatomy have been hypothesized to increase the risk of developing CRS by inducing chronic inflammation and obstructing the sinus ostia. Nevertheless, emerging data regarding these topics continue to produce inconclusive results. Inflammation of the upper and lower airways can occur simultaneously as seen in patients with asthma and aspirin sensitivity. The connection between these pro-inflammatory disease states has been known for many years. Newer evidence include large population-based studies and studies that correlate objective tests, such as computer tomography scans to pulmonary function tests. However, the treatment of CRS and its effects on obstructive airway disease continues to be a topic of debate. More large prospective studies are needed in order to continue refining our knowledge of the disease processes in CRS.
