Abstract
Objective:To investigate the expression of PACAP protein in chronic rhinosinusitis without/with nasal polyps and refractory chronic rhinosinusitis.Method: Fifty-three patients with nasal polyps,70 cases with chronic sinusitis, 28 patients with refractory chronic rhinosinusitis and 20 control cases were enrolled for this study. The expression of PACAP protein was detected by immunochemistry.Result: ①PACAP protein were expressed in nasal epithelium，glandular epithelium and goblet cells；②The positive intensity of PACAP was" +", " +++", "－-+",and " ++" in nasal polyps, chronic rhinosinusitis, refractory chronic rhinosinusitis, and control group, respectively.Conclusion:PACAP protein mainly locates in nasal epithelium，glandular epithelium and goblet cells. Reduced expression of PACAP may be related with onset of chronic rhiniosinusitis without/with nasal polyps.
