Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With increasing industrialization, exposure to ambient and wildfire air pollution is projected to increase, necessitating further research to elucidate the complex relationship between exposure and sinonasal disease. This review aims to summarize the role of ambient and wildfire air pollution in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and olfactory dysfunction and provide a perspective on gaps in the literature. RECENT FINDINGS Based on an emerging body of evidence, exposure to ambient air pollutants is correlated with the development of chronic rhinosinusitis in healthy individuals and increased symptom severity in CRS patients. Studies have also found a robust relationship between long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and olfactory dysfunction. Ambient air pollution exposure is increasingly recognized to impact the development and sequelae of sinonasal pathophysiology. Given the rising number of wildfire events and worsening impacts of climate change, further study of the impact of wildfire-related air pollution is a crucial emerging field.

Epigenetic responses to rhinovirus exposure in airway epithelial cells are correlated with key transcriptional pathways in chronic rhinosinusitis. Allergy 2023; 78:2698-2711. [PMID: 37571876 PMCID: PMC10614423 DOI: 10.1111/all.15837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Viruses may drive immune mechanisms responsible for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. OBJECTIVES To identify epigenetic and transcriptional responses to a common upper respiratory pathogen, rhinovirus (RV), that are specific to patients with CRSwNP using a primary sinonasal epithelial cell culture model. METHODS Airway epithelial cells were collected at surgery from patients with CRSwNP (cases) and from controls without sinus disease, cultured, and then exposed to RV or vehicle for 48 h. Differential gene expression and DNA methylation (DNAm) between cases and controls in response to RV were determined using linear mixed models. Weighted gene co-expression analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify (a) co-regulated gene expression and DNAm signatures, and (b) genes, pathways, and regulatory mechanisms specific to CRSwNP. RESULTS We identified 5585 differential transcriptional and 261 DNAm responses (FDR <0.10) to RV between CRSwNP cases and controls. These differential responses formed three co-expression/co-methylation modules that were related to CRSwNP and three that were related to RV (Bonferroni corrected p < .01). Most (95%) of the differentially methylated CpGs (DMCs) were in modules related to CRSwNP, whereas the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were more equally distributed between the CRSwNP- and RV-related modules. Genes in the CRSwNP-related modules were enriched in known CRS and/or viral response immune pathways. CONCLUSION RV activates specific epigenetic programs and correlated transcriptional networks in the sinonasal epithelium of individuals with CRSwNP. These novel observations suggest epigenetic signatures specific to patients with CRSwNP modulate response to viral pathogens at the mucosal environmental interface. Determining how viral response pathways are involved in epithelial inflammation in CRSwNP could lead to therapeutic targets for this burdensome airway disorder.

Abstract
Background The burden of chronic rhinosinusitis symptoms experienced by Saudi citizens is considered an important factor in getting an overall insight of the problem in the region, therefore our study aimed to determine the prevalence of risk factors of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and correlate the risk factors with various sociodemographic parameters among Saudi population. Methods This study analyzed five-year cross-sectional data from 2017-2021. A total of 386 participants were enrolled and subsequently divided into four groups: aged 18-25 years, 26-35 years, 36-45 years, and > 45 years. A study was conducted utilizing non-probability sampling targeting a population of Saudi nationality living in selected regions of Saudi Arabia. Data was collected through an online questionnaire which had been distributed through social media and had been analyzed accordingly using a statistical package for social sciences. Results In this study, 272 (70.5%) participants were female and 114 (29.5%) were male. A total of 374 (96.9%) participants were Saudis while 12 (3.1%) were non-Saudis. Risk factors were compared by age and gender of study participants. Having polyps in the nose (p-value 0.016) and a family history of polyps (p-value 0.049) showed a significant association with the gender of study participants. The frequency of having nasal polyps was significantly higher among male participants, however, having a family history of nasal polyps was significantly higher among female participants. The educational status of study participants showed a significant association with the use of cortisone (p-value 0.032) and having a broken nose (p-value 0.032). Having a family history of nasal polyps showed a significant (p-value 0.017) association with the socioeconomic status of study participants. Conclusion Nasal polyps are more common in males than females, however, having a family history of nasal polyps was significantly higher among female participants.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent and disabling paranasal sinus disease associated with some environmental factors. In this study, we evaluated the effect of geo-climatic factors on CRS in a region of southwest Iran. The study mapped the residency addresses of 232 patients with CRS who lived in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province and had undergone sinus surgery from 2014 to 2019. The effects of Mean Annual Humidity (MAH), Mean Annual Rainfall (MAR), Mean Annual Temperature (MAT), maximum MAT (maxMAT), minimum MAT (minMAT), Mean Annual Evaporation (MAE), wind, elevation, slope, and land cover were assessed on the occurrence of CRS using Geographical Information System (GIS). Statistical analysis was performed using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression. Patients came from 55 points including villages, towns, and cities. In univariate analysis, climatic factors including MAT (OR = 0.537), minMAT (OR = 0.764), maxMAT (OR = 0.63), MAR (OR = 0.994), and MAH (OR = 0.626) were significantly related to CRS occurrence. Elevation (OR = 0.999), slope (OR = 0.9), and urban setting (OR = 24.667) were the significant determinants among geographical factors when analyzed independently. The multivariate analysis found maxMAT (OR = 0.5), MAR (OR = 0.994), elevation (OR = 0.998), and urban (OR = 16.8) as significant factors affecting CRS occurrence. The urban setting is the most critical factor affecting CRS disease. Cold and dry areas and low attitude are the other risk factors for CRS in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, southwest Iran.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to evaluate the relationship between chronic sinusitis (CRS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in a Chinese population and to explore the risk factors for olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRS. Methods A total of 387 CRS patients were enrolled. Olfactory function was assessed by the Sniffin' Sticks 12-item test and MS was diagnosed according to the guidelines. Logistic regression analysis was performed on CRS patients to screen independent risk factors of olfactory dysfunction, adjusted for confounding factors. Results Among 387 patients, average age of visit and duration of onset were 48.7 years and 1.8 years, respectively. The prevalence of MS was 15.0%. CRS patients with MS were more likely to be older (51.2 vs. 46.8, p = .004), predominantly male (p < .001) and have a higher proportion of olfactory dysfunction (62.1% vs. 44.1%, p = .018) than those without MS. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, MS was associated with olfactory dysfunction in CRS patients (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.14-3.72, p = .016). This association remained significant after controlling for confounding factors. In addition, nasal polyps (OR: 13.41, 95% CI: 8.11-22.17, p < .001) and allergic rhinitis (OR: 3.16, 95% CI: 1.67-5.99, p < .001) were also risk factors for olfactory dysfunction after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions MS is associated with olfactory dysfunction in patients with CRS. MS, nasal polyps, and allergic rhinitis are risk factors for olfactory dysfunction in CRS patients. Level of evidence IV.

Abstract
BackgroundChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) poses a risk for developing emotional and cognitive disorders. However, the neural evidence for this association is largely unclear. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analysis can demonstrate abnormal brain activity and functional connectivity and contribute to explaining the potential pathophysiology of CRS-related mood and cognitive alterations.MethodsChronic rhinosinusitis patients (CRS, n = 26) and gender- and age-matched healthy control subjects (HCs, n = 38) underwent resting-state functional MRI scanning. The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) was calculated to observe the intrinsic brain activity. The brain region with altered ALFF was further selected as the seed for functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Correlation analysis was performed between the ALFF/FC and clinical parameters in CRS patients.ResultsCompared with HCs, CRS patients exhibited significantly increased ALFF in the left orbital superior frontal cortex and reduced connectivity in the right precuneus using the orbital superior frontal cortex as the seed region. The magnitude of the orbital superior frontal cortex increased with inflammation severity. In addition, ALFF values in the orbital superior frontal cortex were positively correlated with the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) scores. The ROC curves of altered brain regions indicated great accuracy in distinguishing between CRS patients and HCs.ConclusionIn this study, patients with CRS showed increased neural activity in the orbital superior frontal cortex, a critical region in emotional regulation, and this region also indicated hypoconnectivity to the precuneus with a central role in modulating cognition. This study provided preliminary insights into the potential neural mechanism related to mood and cognitive dysfunctions in CRS patients.

Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be seen in people of all ages. CRS heavily affects the quality of a patient's daily life and also causes tremendous economic burdens on patients' families and society. The prevalence of CRS in different countries varies and no systematic review of the prevalence of CRS among Chinese has been published previously. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the prevalence of CRS among Chinese and to explore the main risk factors of CRS among Chinese. Methods Using relevant keywords, data resources including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge of Infrastructure (CNKI), WANGFANG, VIP, and China Biomedical Literature database (CMB) were searched to obtain literature reporting the prevalence of and risk factors of CRS among Chinese which were clearly diagnosed with CRS from inception to 30 June 2022. The random/fixed effect model was used for meta-analysis, and the I2 index was employed to assess heterogeneity among studies. All analyses were performed by using the STATA version 16.0 software. The study was registered with PROSPERO, register number. CRD42022341877. Result A total of 12 relevant kinds of literature were qualified for the present systematic review, including 4,033 patients. The results showed that the overall prevalence of CRS among Chinese was 10% (95%CI: 0.06-0.13, I2 = 99.6%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of CRS among Chinese who lived in urban cities was 18% (95%CI: -0.07 to 0.43, I2 = 99.9%, P < 0.001), which was obviously lower than the prevalence of CRS among Chinese who lived in rural areas (27%, 95%CI: -0.14 to 0.68, I2 = 99.8%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of CRS among Chinese before 2010 was 23% (95%CI: -0.05 to 0.50, I2 = 99.8%, P < 0.001), which was remarkably higher than the prevalence of CRS among Chinese after 2010 (7%, 95%CI: 0.05-0.09, I2 = 99.0%, P < 0.001). The prevalence of CRS among Chinese who were divorced was 17% (95%CI: 0.12-0.22, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.436), while the prevalence of CRS among Chinese who were married, widowed, and unmarried was 9% (95%CI: 0.06-0.11, I2 = 88.1%, P = 0.004), 9% (95%CI: 0.06-0.11, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.863), and 9% (95%CI: 0.08-0.10, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.658), respectively. The prevalence of CRS among Han and minority Chinese was 8% (95%CI: 0.07-0.10, I2 = 69.6%, P = 0.070) and 12% (95%CI: 0.10-0.15, I2 = 38.6%, P = 0.202), respectively. The prevalence of CRS among Chinese who was never exposed to moldy or damp environments was 8% (95%CI: 0.08-0.09, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.351), the prevalence of CRS among Chinese who was occasionally exposed to moldy or damp environments was 16% (95%CI: 0.10-0.22, I2 = 78.9%, P = 0.030), and the prevalence of CRS among Chinese who was frequently or every day exposed to moldy or damp environments was up to 20% (95%CI: 0.15-0.24, I2 = 0.0%, P = 0.558). Conclusion This meta-analysis shows that the prevalence of CRS among Chinese is at a high level. People who have some risk factors, such as occasional or frequent or everyday exposure to moldy or damp environments, have a higher prevalence of CRS. We should attach more importance to the risk factors of CRS in clinical practice and disseminate scientific information and carry out education to lower the prevalence of CRS in China.

Environ Health 2022; 21:134. [PMID: 36544141 PMCID: PMC9769041 DOI: 10.1186/s12940-022-00948-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aetiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is multifactorial with a complex interplay between environmental, microbial endogenous and genetic factors. The impact of outdoor air pollution on prevalence or severity of CRS remains largely unknown. METHODS Real-life geolocation data (2017-2018, Belgium) from 278 CRS patients (2576 health records) using the mySinusitisCoach mobile application were analysed to calculate the patients' individual exposure to outdoor air pollutants (ozone (O3), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5)) and to associate these pollutants with the patients' sinus related symptoms measured at multiple occasions by visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS The adjusted seasonal model for the spring-summer (n = 1000 health entries, N = 83 patients) population revealed an increase of 6.07 (p < 0.0001) in overall CRS symptom scoring for an interquartile range (IQR) increase in exposure to O3 (26.9 μg/m3). An increase of 1.69 (p = 0.05) in total CRS symptom scoring was observed for an IQR increase of PM2.5 (7.1 µg/m3) exposure. Sex-stratified analysis in the spring-summer population showed significant interaction between air pollution and sex with male patients having higher total CRS symptom scores for an IQR increase in exposure to PM2.5 (3.52, p = 0.001), and O3 (8.33, p < 0.0001), while no significant association with symptom severity was seen in the female patients. In the analysis stratified by comorbid asthma, CRS patients with comorbid asthma had higher total CRS symptoms for an IQR increase in exposure to PM2.5 (2.58, p = 0.04) and O3 (7.72, p < 0.0001) while the patients without comorbid asthma had no significant symptom increases. CONCLUSION Exposure to outdoor air pollution is associated with increased symptom severity in CRS patients. The extent to which CRS patients are sensitive to outdoor air pollution exposure varies per season and depends on their sex and comorbid asthma status. mHealth technology has the potential to reveal novel insights on the patients' exposome and disease severity in the real-life situation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study was conducted to explore the association between laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) and refractory chronic rhinosinusitis (RCRS), and to reveal the potential role of LPRD in the development of RCRS. METHODS A total of 104 patients diagnosed as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and hospitalized, as well as 50 healthy participants were enrolled into this study. Among patients enrolled, 53 were RCRS and 51 were CRS. All participants were assessed with reflux symptom index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS). Patients with RSI >13 and/or RFS >7 were diagnosed as LPRD. In addition, pepsin in the nasal secretions from the middle meatus tract complex at fasting in the morning was analyzed using ELISA. Patients with pepsin concentration of >75 ng/ml was considered as positive, and confirmed as LPRD. RESULTS There was no significant difference in age, sex, height, and weight among RCRS, CRS, and control groups. The positive rates of RSI and RFS scores were 39.6% in the RCRS and 52.9% in the CRS, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the control group (14.0%, P < 0.05), respectively. Significantly higher positive rate of pepsin assay was also observed for RCRS(43.4%) and CRS(64.7%) when compared with the control group (18.0%, P < 0.05). The positive rate of pepsin assay was strongly associated with the positive rate of RSI or RFS (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The present findings have important implications that RSI and RFS score was highly associated with pepsin assay result in the patients with RCRS or CRS. We confirmed the importance of RSI and RFS scoring system as well as pepsin test, which may offer insight for clinical screening for LPRD among CRS patients.

Abstract
Knowledge of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) epidemiology may directly impact patient care: aiding patient identification and establishing accurate diagnosis as well as informing treatment decisions. The objective of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the epidemiology of CRS, with a focus on prevalence and risk factors. Although the presence of either symptoms or objective findings alone have yielded CRS prevalence estimates of over 10%, the presence of both-consistent with guideline-based diagnostic criteria for CRS-has suggested that the true prevalence of CRS is consistently less than 5%, with approximately one-third of patients with CRS having nasal polyps, in epidemiologic studies from around the world. In comparison, the prevalence of CRS endotypes-pathophysiologic subclassification of CRS most commonly as related to type 2 or non-type 2 inflammation-has been found to vary significantly by region. The epidemiology of CRS is modified and ultimately determined by risk factors: genetic/hereditary, demographic, environmental, and imparted by predictive pre-/comorbid disease. The understanding of these epidemiologic relationships may help the provider to optimally identify and understand each individual's CRS disease process, thereby improving both diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the impact of risk factors on the disease control among chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients, following 1 year of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and combining the risk factors to formulate a convenient, visualised prediction model. Design A retrospective and nonconcurrent cohort study. Setting and Participants A total of 325 patients with CRS from June 2018 to July 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat‐sen University, the Third Affliated Hospital of Sun Yat‐sen University, the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat‐sen University. Main Outcomes Measures Outcomes were time to event measures: the disease control of CRS after surgery 1 year. The presence of nasal polyps, smoking habits, allergic rhinitis (AR), the ratio of tissue eosinophil (TER) and peripheral blood eosinophil count (PBEC) and asthma was assessed. The logistic regression models were used to conduct multivariate and univariate analyses. Asthma, TER, AR, PBEC were also included in the nomogram. The calibration curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the forecast performance of the model. Results In univariate analyses, most of the covariates had significant associations with the endpoints, except for age, gender and smoking. The nomogram showed the highest accuracy with an AUC of 0.760 (95% CI, 0.688–0.830) in the training cohort. Conclusions In this cohort study that included the asthma, AR, TER, PBEC, which had significantly affected the disease control of CRS after surgery. The model provided relatively accurate prediction in the disease control of CRS after FESS and served as a visualised reference for daily diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Air pollution has emerged as an important environmental risk factor for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) progression. This study assessed exposure to five types of air pollution (PM2.5/10 , SO2 , NO2 , CO, O3 ) and explored their effects on CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) severity and endotype. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Air pollution data from monitoring sites in Beijing were obtained to assess individual air pollution exposure. Outcomes of CRSwNP (n = 282) including Lund-Mackay (L-M) score, Lund-Kennedy (L-K) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and nasal patency/airflow resistance and so on were measured to analyze correlations with air pollution and compare groups with different exposure types. Multivariable-adjusted binary logistic regression was used to determine potential air pollution risk factors of the endotype of eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRSwNP). RESULTS Short-term exposures to PM2.5/10 , SO2 , CO, NO2 , and O3 were weak but significantly associated with increased L-M scores. Short-term exposures to PM10 , CO, and NO2 were correlated with increased VAS headache/facial pain scores. The L-M scores of the group of the highest PM2.5 (≥150 μg/m3 ) exposure were significantly higher than those of control group. For each increased unit of the average concentration of PM2.5 , there was a 1.047-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.005-1.091) increased risk of the endotype of ECRSwNP. CONCLUSIONS Air pollution exposure exacerbated CRSwNP severity and PM2.5 could be a risk factor for endotype of ECRSwNP, suggesting the role of air pollution in CRSwNP pathogenesis.

Abstract
Air pollution exposure leads to increased mortality and morbidity rates of respiratory diseases. Most of the evidence was founded on acute diseases such as acute lower respiratory diseases. However, limited studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of air pollution on chronic respiratory diseases. This time-series study was conducted to examine the acute effects of 6 criteria ambient air pollutants on hospital outpatients with chronic rhinitis (CR) in Xinxiang, China. We retrieved 223,826 outpatient records of patients with respiratory diseases, of which 62,901 were those of patients with CR. Results showed that the current 10-μg/m3 increase in fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and carbon monoxide (CO) corresponds to 0.67% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.15-1.18%), 0.58% (95% CI: 0.24-0.92%), 1.89% (95% CI: 0.52-3.27%), 3.01% (95% CI: 1.66-4.35%), and 0.06% (95% CI: 0.03-0.10%) increments in outpatients with CR, respectively. In addition, the effects in the male were stronger than those in the female. Higher effect estimates were observed in the old (≥ 65 years of age) and younger (< 15 years of age) groups. Our study confirmed the association between air pollution and outpatients with CR in Xinxiang, China. More stringent air pollution control measures must be implemented.

Abstract
This review examines the latest evidence for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treating chronic rhinosinusitis. MedLine, EMBASE and TRIP Database searches were conducted using the terms: "photodynamic" or "phototherapy" or "photo" and "sinusitis" or "rhinosinusitis," date range January 2000 to May 2020. A total of 192 records were initially identified, after duplicates and exclusions, 9 full papers and 3 abstracts were included. All study types including in-vitro, animal and human studies were evaluated. Whilst there is in-vitro evidence for the efficacy of PDT's bactericidal effect on drug resistant bacteria and biofilm viability, there are few clinical studies. PDT is a promising area of research, but larger, focused studies looking at the safety, delivery, efficacy, and patient selection are required before it can be considered a viable treatment for CRS.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) occurs in >10% of the adult population in Europe and the USA and can be differentiated into CRS without nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Both phenotypes are characterized by a high disease burden and an overlapping spectrum of symptoms, with facial pain and loss of smell being the most differentiating. Great progress has been made in the understanding of CRS pathophysiology: from the epithelium and epithelial-mesenchymal transition to innate and adaptive immunity pathways and, finally, on the role of eosinophils and Staphylococcus aureus in the persistence of disease. Although clinical manifestations and diagnostic tools (including nasal endoscopy and imaging) have undergone major changes over the past few years, management (including pharmacotherapy, surgery and biologics) has experienced enormous progress based on the growing knowledge of key mediators in severe CRSwNP. The introduction of endotyping has led to a differentiation of 'tailored' surgical approaches, focusing on the mucosal concept in those with severe CRSwNP and on the identification of patients eligible for extended surgery and possibly biologics in the future.

Abstract
Many studies have reported that exposure to ambient air pollution has adverse effects on health. However, there are little researches to explore the relationship between ambient air pollution and chronic sinusitis (CS). From January 1 2015 to December 31 2018, a time-series study were carried out to investigate the acute adverse roles of six criteria ambient air pollutants (fine particulate matter [PM2.5], inhalable particulate matter [PM10], nitrogen dioxide [NO2], sulfur dioxide [SO2], ozone [O3], and carbon monoxide [CO]) in hospital outpatients with CS in Xinxiang, China. Then, an over-dispersed Poisson generalized additive model was utilized to analyzed the relationships. In total, 183,943 hospital outpatient cases of CS were identified during the study period. We found that a 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, and CO corresponded to 0.48% (95% confidence interval: 0.22-0.74%), 0.33% (0.16-0.50%), 0.88% (0.13-1.62%), 1.98% (1.31-2.64%), and 0.05% (0.03-0.07%) increments, respectively, in CS outpatients on the current day. The young group (<15 years of age) was more susceptible than the adult or elderly groups. These results suggested that outdoor air pollutants might increase CS outpatient, especially among youth in Xinxiang. Precautions and protective measures should be strengthened to reduce the air pollution level in the future.

Abstract
EPOS 2012 states that investigation is needed to study a possible role for food allergy in the initiation and perpetuation of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Our main goal was to compare serum levels of food-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgE antibodies in patients with CRSwNP and controls. A prospective case-control study with 33 patients with CRSwNP and 31 controls without CRS was carried out. Clinical data were gathered through a systematic interview and blood sample was collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests using OmegaDiagnostics kit with 40 food allergens for detection of specific IgG antibodies were performed and food-specific IgE antibodies were determined by immunoassay using ImmunoCAP. Immunoglobulin classes and IgG subclasses levels were also evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v.23. The overall sum of food IgG antibodies was significantly lower in CRSwNP compared to control group, and this difference was also observed for different specific IgG antibodies (corn, soya, grain legumes, pear and apple, berries, citric fruit). In controls, a positive correlation between IgG1 and the sum of food IgG antibodies was seen, but in CRSwNP group a negative correlation was found. In addition, a significant higher level of IgG1 and lower IgG2 and IgG3 was found among patients with CRSwNP. Levels of serum-specific IgE antibodies against multiallergen food mix (fx5) and against shrimp, strawberry, orange, rye, or egg yolk, as well as the sum of food IgE antibodies, did not differ significantly between the groups. These findings suggest that food allergy does not have an important role in CRSwNP etiopathogenesis, whether it is IgG or IgE mediated. Moreover, the observed suppression of specific IgG antibodies against food allergens, its negative correlation with IgG1 and the IgG1 switching in CRSwNP, can be related to deviated IgG responses against other targets (eg, airborne particles) and warrants future investigation.

Abstract
Few studies exist from China on associations between home environment and adult health. We studied associations between home environment factors (other than dampness and mould) and rhinitis, throat and dermal symptoms and headache and fatigue among young parents in six cities across China (N = 36,541). They were recruited as parents from day care centers selected randomly and answered a questionnaire on medical symptoms and the home environment. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated by multilevel logistic regression adjusting for gender, atopy, smoking, home size and dampness/mould. Overall, 4.8% had skin symptoms 3.1% rhinitis, 2.8% eye, 4.1% throat symptoms, 3.0% headache and 13.9% had fatigue (all as weekly symptoms). Redecoration was associated with rhinitis, eye and skin symptoms, headache and fatigue. New furniture was associated with eye, throat and skin symptoms and fatigue. Gas cooking was associated with eye and throat symptoms, headache and fatigue. Biomass cooking was associated with eye and throat symptoms and headache. Burning incense was associated with eye, throat and skin symptoms, headache and fatigue. Presence of cockroaches and mosquitos or flies was associated with all six symptoms. Rats or mice were associated with eye and dermal symptoms. Cat keeping was associated with eye symptoms while dog keepers had less fatigue. Living near major roads was associated with rhinitis, eye, throat and skin symptoms and fatigue. Daily cleaning, a mechanical ventilation system in the kitchen or in the bathroom, living in older buildings and living in less urbanized areas were protective factors. In conclusion, urbanization, traffic exhaust, indoor emissions from redecoration and new furniture, gas cooking and air pollution from burning incense and biomass may cause dermal and mucosal symptoms, headache and fatigue among adults in China. Indoor animals (cats, mice/rats, cockroaches) were other risk factors. Daily cleaning, mechanical ventilation and living in older buildings can be protective.

Abstract
Identification of the association between tissue biomarkers, their surrogates in blood and clinical features, could provide new diagnostic tools and facilitate adequate choices of therapeutic interventions for selected patients suffering from CRS. The aim of present study was the assessment of macrophages in the polyp tissue and monocytes in the peripheral blood in the course of CRSwNP, and their functional immunophenotype. We analyzed 31 patients with CRSwNP. Nasal mucosa tissue was obtained via functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). The control group included 10 patients with deviated nasal septum (DNS). Fluorochrome stained cells were proceed to acquisition using FACS Canto flow cytometer, and the results were analyzed using the software FACS Diva. In our study, we observed a significantly higher level of CD80, CD274, CD273 and TLR1 in nasal polyps compared to blood samples from patients with CRSwNP. This finding may suggest the importance of the PD-1 pathway as a therapeutic target in CRS and an important role for TLR1 in nasal polyp formation and maintenance. Our results may provide some insight into potential future targets of recurrent nasal polyp treatment and contribute to a better understanding of the inflammatory process in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
Objectives Cigarette smoking and passive smoke exposure have been associated with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Our goal in this systematic review was to (1) determine if there was a strong correlative effect in large population studies between cigarette smoke exposure and the prevalence of CRS, (2) investigate pathogenic mechanisms of cigarette smoke in the upper airway, and (3) determine if a history of cigarette smoking affects the medical and surgical outcomes of CRS. Data Sources MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science SCI and CPCI-S, and websites. Methods A comprehensive literature review and quantitative meta-analysis of studies based on the PRISMA protocol and examining the relationship between cigarette smoke exposure and CRS was performed. A search strategy was developed using various terms such as sinusitis, rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and smoking. The articles were categorized by (1) epidemiology, (2) pathophysiology, and (3) outcomes. Data regarding study design, population/setting, methods, and bias were collected. Results The initial search generated 2621 titles/abstracts with 309 articles undergoing secondary review and 112 articles for final review. We determined that there is a strong correlation between active and passive cigarette smoke with the prevalence of CRS. Cigarette smoke challenge to sinonasal epithelia results in the release of inflammatory mediators and altered ciliary beat frequency. Pediatric patients exposed to secondhand smoke appear to have particularly poor outcomes. Conclusion There is clear evidence that cigarette smoke is related to CRS, but longitudinal and mechanistic studies are required to determine a causative effect. This information is critical for greater understanding of CRS health outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In an era where prevention is paramount, understanding social factors for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) may facilitate preventive interventions that mitigate risk factors associated with the initiation or progression of the disease. RECENT FINDINGS Both passive and active smoking are clearly and unequivocally associated with both the incidence and the severity of rhinosinusitis, while there an increasing body of evidence linking social deprivation and low socioeconomic status with rhinosinusitis and its complications. However, overall, only a handful of studies were longitudinal, while the available studies suffer from lack of standardized definitions of rhinosinusitis. In this systematic review, we assessed the available evidence linking CRS with social factors, such as socioeconomic status and class, educational status, family status, living and working location and conditions, and use of toxins or recreational drugs as well as exercise and diet. Thirty studies from 1995 onwards fulfilled our inclusion criteria and were used for this review. Social deprivation and low socioeconomic level seem to be directly associated with rhinosinusitis, as there are pollutants in living or working environment. A clear and direct association between smoking (both active and passive) and rhinosinusitis was also shown. However, the link between rhinosinusitis and education level, and exercise and diet, if any, seems to be more complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between dampness at home and respiratory conditions has been convincingly demonstrated in children. Fewer studies have been performed in adults, and data are lacking for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). With a prevalence of 10.9% in Europe, CRS imposes a significant burden on quality of life, as well as economy. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to study CRS and other respiratory conditions in relation to dampness at home in a representative sample of adults. METHODS The Swedish GA2 LEN questionnaire was answered by 26 577 adults (16-75 years) and included questions on respiratory symptoms, smoking, education and environmental exposure. CRS was defined according to the EP3 OS criteria. Dampness was defined as reporting water damage, floor dampness or visible moulds in the home during the last 12 months. The dampness score was ranked from 0 to 3, counting the number of signs of dampness reported. RESULTS Dampness at home was reported by 11.3% and was independently related to respiratory conditions after adjustment for demographic and socio-economic factors and smoking: CRS odds ratio (OR) 1.71; allergic rhinitis OR 1.24; current asthma OR 1.21; wheeze OR 1.37; nocturnal dyspnoea OR 1.80; nocturnal coughing OR 1.34; and chronic bronchitis OR 1.64. The risk of CRS and most of the other respiratory conditions was further elevated in subjects reporting multiple signs of dampness. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study demonstrated an independent association between dampness at home and CRS in adults. The high burden of this and the other respiratory conditions studied is a strong argument in favour of countering indoor dampness by improving building standards.
