Individual exposure of ambient particulate matters and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal Polyps: Dose-Response, mediation effects and recurrence prediction. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 177:108031. [PMID: 37327504 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the association between ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and predicted the CRSwNP recurrence risk using machine learning algorithms. METHODS In total, 1,086 patients with CRSwNP were recruited from nine hospitals in China during 2014-2019. The average annual concentrations of ambient PMs before surgery were assessed using satellite-based daily concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 for a 1 × 1-km2 area. Linear regression and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations of PM exposure with eosinophilia and risks of eosinophilic CRSwNPs. In addition, mediation effect analysis was used to validate the interrelationships of the aforementioned factors. Finally, machine learning algorithms were used to predict the recurrence risks of CRSwNPs. RESULTS There was a significantly increased risk of eosinophilic CRSwNPs with each 10 μg/m3 increase in PMs, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.039 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.007-1.073) for PM10 and 1.058 (95% CI = 1.007- 1.112) for PM2.5. Eosinophils had a significant mediation effect, which accounted for 52% and 35% of the relationships of CRSwNP recurrence with PM10 and PM2.5, respectively. Finally, we developed a naïve Bayesian model to predict the risk of CRSwNP recurrence based on PM exposure, inflammatory data, and patients' demographic factors. CONCLUSIONS Increased PM exposure is associated with an increased risk of eosinophilic CRSwNP in China. Therefore, patients with eosinophilic CRSwNP should reduce PM exposure to mitigate its harmful impacts.

[PMID: 35312075 PMCID: PMC10078746 DOI: 10.1002/lary.30112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a major hallmark of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). We investigated the possible correlation between some severity markers of CRS and several clinical features of the disease. We further studied the bitter taste receptor TAS2R38 polymorphisms to identify the genotypes associated with more severe disease. METHODS We included 39 adult PCD patients with (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP); a sample for nasal cytology was obtained and clinical cytological grading (CCG) was determined. The SNOT-22 and Lund-Mackay scores were recorded. A sample of DNA was extracted from peripheral blood to investigate TAS2R38 polymorphisms. RESULTS CRSwNP patients had features of more severe disease: indeed, they had statistically significantly higher frequency of previous sinus surgery, higher SNOT-22, LM scores, and CCG than CRSsNP patients. Upon genotyping of TAS2R38 polymorphisms, we observed that the AVI-AVI genotype, associated to homozygous nonfunctional bitter TAS2R38 receptor, was more prevalent among CRSwNP (100%) than in CRSsNP patients (0%); furthermore, AVI-AVI subjects showed statistically significantly worse SNOT-22 and CCG scores than PAV-PAV and PAV-AVI subjects. The group of AVI-AVI patients also had more frequent respiratory exacerbations, Gram-negative infections, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization than PAV-PAV and PAV-AVI patients. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate for the first time that PCD patients with CRSwNP display a more severe disease than those with CRSsNP. Genotyping of TAS2R38 polymorphisms demonstrated that in PCD patients, the AVI-AVI genotype is strikingly more prevalent among CRSwNP than in CRSsNP, while the PAV-PAV genotype might be protective against Gram-negative infections and respiratory exacerbations.

Abstract
The proportion of the population over 65 years old continues to grow. Chronic rhinosinusitis is common in this population and causes a reduction in quality of life and an increase in health care utilization. Diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps follows the same principles for elderly patients as in the general population, but the elderly population presents some diagnostic challenges worth considering. Presbynasalis, the anatomic and functional changes of the nose and paranasal sinuses associated with aging must be accounted for when caring for these patients. In addition, polypharmacy and other medical issues that can cause similar symptoms must be considered. Medical therapy is generally similar to the general population but with additional concerns given the propensity for geriatric patients to be on multiple medications and to suffer from multiple medical issues. Sinus surgery should be considered following the same indications as in the general population. While some authors have found higher complication rates in endoscopic sinus surgery, others have found higher rates of success. As always, the risks of surgery must be considered with the possible benefits on a patient-to-patient basis.

Abstract
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare benign tumor that affects predominantly males and is known by its highly vascular character. We have performed a 3-year retrospective study of patients with JNA surgically treated within the third ENT Department of Prof. Dr. Dorin Hociotă Institute of Phonoaudiology and Functional ENT Surgery, Bucharest, Romania. In all the cases, the patients were investigated both clinically and through medical imaging before surgery and all tumors were embolized. Our study comprised of eight cases, of which seven were solved by endoscopic endonasal approach and one case was treated through a combined endonasal-external approach. JNA should always be managed through a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach in centers with adequate experience, to gain favorable results.
