The effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on the airway ciliary beating frequency (CBF) of mucosal explants excised from human maxillary sinuses was studied by measuring CBF photoelectrically before and after immersion of the explants in a solution containing ATP. In samples from 64 patients with chronic sinusitis the CBF was not significantly different from the CBF in mucosal specimens from healthy tissue of 22 patients without infection. During 15 min immersion, ATP (1 mg/ml) slightly (by 5%, p less than 0.05 in healthy tissue; by 2.7%, p less than 0.01, in tissue from sinusitis patients) increased the CBF. The effect of 10 mg/ml concentration was more pronounced (19.6%). It is concluded that the impairment in ciliary function caused by chronic sinusitis is reversible when the mucosal endothelium is cleansed of the infected mucus, and that the ciliostimulatory action of ATP seen in animals is also present in human respiratory mucosa.  相似文献

Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is one of the most important parameters of mucociliary clearance. Previously, we demonstrated that mucosa from chicken embryo trachea is a good substitute for human ciliated epithelium to study the effects on CBF of substances that are used clinically. In this study, we examined the effect on CBF of four excipients for nasal drug formulations: the absorption enhancers methylated beta-cyclodextrin 2% and sodium taurodihydrofusidate 1%, the preservative benzalkonium chloride 0.01%, and physiologic saline. We also examined the effect on CBF of the cryopreservative dimethyl sulfoxide, which is used to protect ciliated epithelium prior to storage in liquid nitrogen. Results obtained with chicken embryo trachea were compared with those of cryopreserved human mucosa taken from the sphenoidal sinus. For all of the substances tested, the effects on CBF of chicken material were comparable to those measured on human material. Benzalkonium chloride had a stronger ciliostatic effect on human tissue. After 60 min, however, the effect of that substance on CBF was similar in both tissues. We conclude that chicken embryo trachea can be used as a substitute for human ciliated mucosa when studying ciliary activity in vitro.  相似文献

The effect of ozone and formaldehyde on the nasal mucociliary transport system after short-term exposure was comparatively evaluated in human by using in vivo and in vitro test systems. Concentrations of ozone used were 10, 100, 500 and 1000 micrograms/m3 of ozone and of formaldehyde 100, 500 and 5000 micrograms/m3. The in vivo effect of ozone was monitored by measuring the saccharin transport time before and two hours after exposure to ozone. The in vitro effect of ozone and formaldehyde was evaluated by quantifying the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of isolated respiratory epithelial cells before and after one, two, and three hours of exposure. Control experiments were performed using synthetic air. Ozone had no effect on the human nasal mucociliary transport system under the conditions tested here. Neither in vivo nor in vitro any significant changes of saccharin transport time nor CBF were measured. In contrast, formaldehyde significantly reduced (67.1%) CBF at the highest dosis (2 hours, 5000 micrograms/m3). These results will be discussed according to the environmental impact of ozone and formaldehyde in air pollutants and compared to sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide, which were tested under similar conditions, and to results revealed from animal experiments.  相似文献

The water flow across the respiratory epithelia is an important determinant of the efficiency of mucociliary clearance. Bulk water flow has been shown to be coupled to net ion flux. We studied ion transport across rabbit nasal mucosa by measuring bioelectric properties using Ussing chambers. Results were summarized as follows. (1) Compared with tracheal mucosa, nasal mucosa exhibited lower potential difference (p less than 0.01), lower short-circuit current (p less than 0.05), and higher conductance (p less than 0.01). (2) Ouabain 10(-4)M inhibited short-circuit current when added to the submucosal bath of Ussing chambers, and amiloride decreased short-circuit current to about 40% when added to the mucosal bath. (3) When the bubbling of the solution was changed from 95%O2, 5%CO2 to 100%N2, short-circuit current remarkably decreased. (4) A significant positive correlation existed between temperature ranging from 33 degrees C to 41 degrees C and short-circuit current (r = 0.46, p less than 0.02).  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of oxymetazoline hydrochloride on the regulation of healthy human nasal ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and its influence on nasal mucociliary transport time (MTT). METHODS: Changes in (cultured) human nasal CBF in response to increasing concentrations of oxymetazoline within 20 minutes were quantified by use of high-speed digital microscopy. Moreover, the MTT before and after application of 0.05% oxymetazoline was determined by use of the saccharin test. RESULTS: Whereas no statistically significant difference was identified when compared to basal CBF at the concentration of 0.025% or 0.05%, both 0.10% and 0.20% oxymetazoline induced a significantly lower CBF at the end of the observation period. The decrement induced by 0.20% oxymetazoline appeared earlier. At concentrations ranging from 0.025% to 0.20%, the inhibitory effect was dependent on the concentration of oxymetazoline. In addition, the use of 0.05% oxymetazoline increased the mean (+/- SD) human nasal MTT from 474 +/- 21 seconds to 572 +/- 41 seconds (n = 29). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical concentration of oxymetazoline, 0.05%, has no obvious inhibitory effect on human nasal CBF in vitro. The increased MTT caused by 0.05% oxymetazoline in vivo is within the normal range.  相似文献

Adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) has a dual effect on cochlear blood flow (CBF). It induces on initial, transient decrease, which is followed by a long-lasting increase in CBF. Dilazep dihydrochloride (DZ) is a unique vasoactive agent, which increases CBF as well as decreases systemic blood pressure (BP). This agent is thought to keep the concentration of extracellular adenosine higher than normal by preventing the absorption of adenosine into the intracellular space. Thus, it may potentiate the effect of ATP on CBF. In this study, the effects are reported of ATP on CBF in the presence of DZ as measured with a laser Doppler flowmeter in the guinea pig cochlea. In the presence of DZ, the effect of ATP on CBF was amplified and prolonged. Specifically, the mean value of CBF initially decreased to 30.0% of the baseline, determined prior to administration of any agent, and increased gradually up to 287.8% of the baseline. This pharmaceutical effect of DZ might involve a longer activation of both P2x- and P2y-purinoceptors.  相似文献

Objective/Hypothesis Nasal drug formulations are widely used for a local therapeutic effect, but are also used for systemic drug delivery. In the development of new nasal drugs, the toxic effects on the mucociliary clearance and therefore on the ciliated tissue is of importance. In this study, the effect of nasal drugs and their excipients on the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) is investigated. Study Design Experimental, in vitro. Methods CBF is measured by a photograph–electric registration method. Excised ciliated chicken trachea tissue is incubated for 15 minutes in the formulation, followed by a reversibility test. To estimate the ciliostatic potential, a classification is given of all tested formulations. According to the CBF, after 60 minutes every drug or excipient could be classified as follows:cilio‐friendly: after 60 minutes the CBF has regained 75% or more of its initial frequency;cilio‐inhibiting: after 60 minutes the CBF has regained between 25% and 75% of its initial frequency; or ciliostatic: after 60 minutes the CBF has regained 25% or less of its initial frequency. Results Most formulations used are cilio‐friendly or cilio‐inhibiting. Only some are ciliostatic. Preservatives have a major role in the cilio‐inhibiting effect of the drug. Also, other additives can contribute to the toxicity profile of nasal drug formulations. Conclusion This classification of the cilio‐inhibiting potential of nasal drug formulations is a valuable tool in the design of safe nasal drugs. The number of animal studies in vivo can be reduced substantially by using this in vitro screening technique. This study demonstrates that the effect on ciliary movement of most drug formulations is due to the preservatives and/or additives and mostly not to the drug itself.  相似文献

Ciliated tracheal epithelium is arranged in a polarized pattern oriented according to the inferior-superior axis of the trachea and is responsible for the transport of mucus toward the larynx. In this study, ciliary beat orientation and the influence of external factors on mucociliary clearance direction were studied in rabbit inverted cervical tracheas. The animals displayed normal respiration postoperatively. After 16 weeks, airway clearance was studied by observation of the movement of silicone particles placed in the inverted segment and in normal parts of the ciliated epithelium. Cilia exhibited unidirectional and coordinated movement within inverted tracheal segments. As shown by the direction of effective flow produced by beating cilia and by scanning electron microscopy, the cilia in the inverted segment beat in the opposite direction from the cilia in the remainder of the trachea. This study demonstrated that ciliary orientation is irreversibly determined, but the reversal of ciliary beating within the cervical trachea had no adverse effects on the survival of the animals.  相似文献

In vitro studies of ciliary activity require specimens of healthy epithelium in relatively large quantities. Since human material is difficult to obtain, fresh chicken trachea samples have frequently been used in function experiments. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether several substances had comparable effects on the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of chicken trachea and cryopreserved human respiratory epithelium obtained from the sphenoidal sinus. For this study, we used two topical anaesthetics: cocaine (3% and 7%) and lidocaine (2%). These anaesthetic substances were adjusted to pH 6 and pH 7. We also used two decongestants, namely xylometazoline 0.1% and oxymetazoline 0.1%, and the beta-blocking agent propranolol. Topical anaesthetics appeared to be more ciliostatic in solutions with pH 7 compared to pH 6. Complete ciliostatic effects were reversible, with the exception of the ciliostasis induced by propranolol. The effects of these substances on the CBF of fresh chicken trachea and cryopreserved human tissue did not differ significantly. These experiments show that chicken trachea constitutes a valid substitute for human material in studying ciliary activity in vitro. Moreover, the experiments provide evidence in support of the assumption that cryopreservation has no effect on ciliary reactivity as expressed by the CBF.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although multiple etiologies contribute to the development of rhinosinusitis, a common pathophysiological sequelae is ineffective sinonasal mucociliary clearance, resulting in stasis of sinonasal secretions, with subsequent infection, and persistent inflammation. The respiratory cilia beat continually at a basal rate, while during times of stress, such as exercise or infection, ciliary beat frequency (CBF) increases, accelerating mucus clearance. Previous investigations have led to conflicting results with some authors reporting decreased CBF while others have found normal values of CBF in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Additionally, these studies have only analyzed basal CBF. The goal of this study was to compare the basal as well as the stimulated sinonasal CBF in patients with CRS versus controls. METHODS: A dual temperature controlled perfusion chamber, differential interference contrast microscopy, and high-speed digital video were used to analyze both basal and adenosine triphosphate (100 microM)-stimulated CBF in human sinonasal mucosal explants. RESULTS: Although no difference in basal CBF was detected between control and CRS patients, a marked difference in stimulated CBF was noted. Exogenously applied adenosine triphosphate resulted in a 50-70% increase of CBF in control tissue with a minimally observed CBF increase in explants from CRS patients. CONCLUSION: Dynamic regulation of respiratory ciliary activity is critical for the respiratory epithelium to adapt to varying environmental situations. Thus, diminished or absent adaptation could predispose the sinonasal cavity to accumulation of inhaled infectious and noxious particulate matter resulting in infection/inflammation. Our findings suggest that CRS patients have decreased sinonasal ciliary adaptation to environmental stimuli.  相似文献

To evaluate the participation of the larynx and cervical trachea in conditioning inspired gases, we randomly allocated 16 mixed-breed dogs to two groups: group TT (tracheal tube; n = 8) and group LMA (laryngeal mask airway; n = 8). The dogs were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and mechanically ventilated for 3 hours. The parameters studied were temperature and absolute humidities of ambient, inhaled, and tracheal air. There was a small increase in tracheal air temperature compared to inhaled air temperature, but no significant difference between groups. The absolute humidity of tracheal air was greater in group LMA than in group TT (23 mg H2O * L(-1) and 14 mg H2O * L(-1), respectively; p < .0001). The difference in absolute humidity between the tracheal air and the inhaled air was higher in group LMA at all times (p < .0001). We conclude that the larynx and cervical trachea of the dog participate in humidification and heating of inhaled air by means of air contact with mucosa in this airway segment.  相似文献

We investigated the laryngotracheal mucociliary transport pathway of guinea pigs in vivo and immediately postmortem. Only intraperitoneal anesthesia was used during the procedure to avoid the disturbance of mucociliary function. Resin particles were used as the marking substance. A microcolpohysteroscope was placed at different levels in the laryngotracheal region for observing the marking particles and recording the transport pattern. The tracheal mucociliary transport flow primarily moved along the posterior wall and both lateral walls in a zigzag trace. Upon reaching the subglottis, the resin particles stayed underneath the vocal cords, and a whirlpool phenomenon developed. The majority of the particles were shifted and directed onto the posterior glottic area. With a short delay, some resin particles crossed over the free edge of the vocal cords and turned posteriorly along the medial upper cordal margin. No mucociliary transport could be observed on the entire upper surface of the true vocal cords, which is covered by squamous epithelium. Occasionally, a few resin particles in the vicinity of the epiglottic root traveled along the aryepiglottic folds toward the posterior commissure. All streams of mucociliary transport finally joined together in the interarytenoid area. After leaving the glottis, the resin particles traveled to the hypopharynx and entered the esophagus through the motion of deglutition. The pattern of mucociliary clearance in the laryngotracheal region was not delayed by stenting.  相似文献

Isotonic saline solution is frequently used in nasal and tracheal lavage. In a previous clinical study, it was found that Ringer-Lactate solution, as a nasal lavage, was better for mucociliary clearance function than isotonic saline solution after nasal septal surgery. In this experimental study, the effects of Ringer-Lactate and isotonic saline solutions on mucociliary clearance of healthy rat tracheal epithelium were investigated by measuring the transport of carbon particles. We found that tracheal segments that were irrigated with Ringer-Lactate had better mucociliary transport than those irrigated with isotonic saline (p = 0.035).  相似文献

Oxymetazoline is often used as a decongestant in rhinitis patients who are suffering from nasal obstruction. It is used as a nasal drop or spray solution. The effect on nasal mucosa in vitro or in vivo is well known. However, the effect of the drug on tracheal smooth muscle has rarely been explored. During administration of the drug to the nose, it might affect the trachea via inhalation. We used our preparation to test the effectiveness of oxymetazoline on isolated rat’s tracheal smooth muscle. A 5 mm long portion of rat trachea was submersed in 30 ml Kreb’s solution in a muscle bath at 37°C. Changes in tracheal contractility in response to the application of parasympathetic mimetic agents were measured using a transducer connected to a Pentium III computer equipped with polygraphy software. The following assessments were performed: (1) effect on tracheal smooth muscle resting tension; (2) effect on contraction caused by 10−6 M methacholine as a parasympathetic mimetic; (3) effect of oxymetazoline on electrically induced tracheal smooth muscle contractions. Addition of parasympathetic mimetics to the incubation medium caused the trachea to contract in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of oxymetazoline induced a significant relaxation response when the preparation was up to 10−4 M. At the same concentration, the drug also could inhibit EFS induced spike contraction. Oxymetazoline had negligible effect on the basal tension of trachea as the concentration increased. The degree of drug-induced tracheal contraction or relaxation was dose-dependent. The study indicated that high concentrations of oxymetazoline might actually antagonize cholinergic receptors of the trachea.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Mucociliary clearance is a critical upper airway host defense mechanism. Ciliated epithelium in the mammalian airway continually beat at a baseline frequency. Importantly, during times of stress such as exercise or infection, the cilia beat faster to increase clearance. Nasal epithelial ciliary beat frequency (CBF) has been analyzed previously in ex vivo specimens using a variety of methods including photodiode detectors and conventional video recording. Recent studies performed using lower airway ciliated mucosa have shown poor correlation between CBF quantified by photodiode/conventional video and those using high-speed digital video capture at temperatures close to physiological temperatures. Thus, to more rigorously interrogate sinonasal CBF at physiological conditions, we have incorporated a high-speed digital video camera to our CBF analysis system. This is the first report of sinonasal epithelial CBF analysis performed using high-speed video digital analysis. METHODS: Ex vivo samples of sinonasal epithelium were placed in lactated Ringer's in a temperature-controlled microscope stage chamber. An edge of tissue containing beating cilia was observed at a magnification of 630x using differential interference contrast microscopy. The images were captured using a high-speed digital camera with a sampling rate of 250 frames per second. CBF was determined using computerized data analysis. RESULTS: The mean nasal CBF was calculated from a minimum of five regions for each sample. Temperature curves were generated from tissue obtained from chronically infected subjects. CONCLUSION: Analysis of high-speed digital video capture of sinonasal CBF observed under differential interference contrast microscopy is a powerful method to investigate environmental as well as host influences on mucociliary clearance within the upper airways.  相似文献
