The Inferior Nasal Turbinate of Sheep as a Model for Studying Post-Interventional Upper Airway Mucosal Remodeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
After using the inferior nasal turbinate (INT) of the sheep to study various surgical interventions, radiofrequency tissue volume reduction (RFTVR) appears to be the less invasive technique currently available to reduce the INT non-osseous volume. The histologic parameters of wound healing such as fibrosis, submucosal interstitial volume, epithelial cell lining necrosis, inflammation and submucosal vascularization provide the measures upon which one should rely in order to compare various surgical (or other) interventions. From a molecular perspective, fibronectin, collagen III, CD68 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are candidate control parameters and / or modulators of the wound healing and remodeling processes at the inferior nasal turbinate.

Background &Aims: Nasal obstruction is one of the most common symptoms that patients refer to nasal surgeon. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy and septum deviation are the most common causes of nasal airway obstruction. There are numerous available surgical techniques in use to address inferior turbinate hypertrophy. The aim of our study is compare the efficacy of resection of inferior turbinate ...
متن کاملEndoscopic, assisted, modified turbinoplasty with mucosal flap.
A variety of surgical methods have been developed to reduce the volume of the inferior turbinates, in order to create a more patent nasal airway. We describe a technique used in our department since February 2002 for all patients undergoing inferior turbinectomy. We resect with endoscopic assistance the lateral mucosa and bony inferior turbinate. This technique can reduce a large volume of the ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process that allows epithelial cells to assume a mesenchymal cell phenotype. EMT is considered as a therapeutic target for several persistent inflammatory airway diseases related to tissue remodeling. Herein, we investigated the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and c-Src in TGF-β1-induced EMT. A549 cells, primary nasal epithelial ...
