Influence of Allergy on Cytokine Level in Nasal Discharge of Patients with Nasal Polyps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cytokine levels in nasal discharge reflect the inflammatory status of the nasal mucosa. The aim of the paper was to compare the concentrations of cytokines in nasal discharge in allergic and non-allergic patients with nasal polyps (NP). Thirty patients with NP (13 atopic and 17 non-atopic) were included in this study. Samples of nasal discharge were collected from nasal cavities of all 30 subjects. The levels of TNF-α, TNFβ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-8 in nasal discharge were measured using commercial flow cytometric kit. We found significantly higher concentrations of IL-4 (p<0.01), IL-5 (p<0.05), IL-6 (p<0.05) and TNF-β (p<0.05) in allergic patients with NP than in non-allergic. Polyps in non-atopic and atopic patients have different immunological patterns. Acta Medica Medianae 2010;49(3):40-44.

Role of IgE Low-Affinity Receptor (CD23) in Pathogenesis of Nasal Polyp
Background: Nasal polyps, a common clinical problem, are characterized by eosinophilic and mast cell inflammation. The role of allergy and IgE in pathogenesis of nasal polyps is still unclear. IgE receptors are important components of the immunological pathway in allergic and inflammatory diseases. Objective: To determine if the low affinity IgE receptor (CD23) is presented on nasal polyp tis...

Background and Objective: Nasal polyp is the most common benign mass of the nasal cavity and it is originated from nasal cavity or sinuses. Cytokeratins (CK) are intermediate filament proteins that provide mechanical support in epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of cytokeratin 7 in epithelium of nasal polyps and nasal mucosa in chronic rhinosinusitis. Mate...
