Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited multisystemic disorder that results in a generalized dysfunction of exocrine glands.
Besides chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyposis and hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates
with nasal airway obstruction are typical signs. Tissue samples of the inferior turbinates and nasal polyps were taken during
nasal surgery from 21 children, ranging from 3 to 16 years of age. Light- and electron microscopical examination were carried
out. Furthermore, specimens of nasal mucosa of patients without chronic inflammation as controls and specimens of duodenal
mucosa of patients with CF were investigated. Under a thick layer of respiratory epithelium with a high proportion of goblet
cells, the seromucous glands display abnormal morphological structures with wide mucous cells and cystic dilatation. The glandular
cells show inhomogeneous glandular droplets in the supranuclear cell portion. The nucleus contains dispersed chromatin as
a sign of increased activity and the structures of the Golgi apparatus are clearly detectable. Apart from investigations concerning
nasal polyps in CF, studies on the different morphological changes of nasal mucosa at the electron microscopic level are rare.
This histological study focuses on various morphological changes of nasal glands at the ultrastructural level in correlation
with typical symptoms in CF. In addition, a comparison with electron microscopic findings of CF-enteropathies is proposed.
These findings could help to bring information concerning new morphological aspects in the pathophysiology of patients with
CF. 相似文献

Inflammatory cells in nasal mucosa and nasal polyps 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
OBJECTIVE: Since some controversy exists concerning the frequency of inflammatory cells in nasal polyps, we have compared the frequency of tissue inflammatory cells (lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and plasma cells) including 11 kinds of lymphocyte subsets in the same specimens of nasal mucosa and nasal polyps. METHODS: Histopathological observations and flow cytometric analyses were performed on eight mucosal specimens of the inferior turbinates of patients with nasal polyps and on 13 polyp specimens. RESULTS: Nasal polyps contained significantly more eosinophils, neutrophils and plasma cells than nasal mucosa, and EG2+ cells (activated eosinophils) were significantly more frequent in nasal polyps than in nasal mucosa. Flow cytometric analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the frequencies of lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets (CD1+, CD2+, CD3+, CD5+, CD7+, CD4+, CD8+, CD10+, CD19+, CD20+ and HLA-DR+ cells) including CD4/8 ratios between nasal mucosa and polyps, though, both nasal mucosa and polyps contained significantly more lymphocytes than eosinophils, neutrophils or plasma cells. The T cell lineage (CD2+, CD3+, CD5+ and CD7+ cells) was found in high frequency and B cell lineage (CD10+, CD19+ and CD20+ cells) in low frequency in both nasal mucosa and polyps. The frequency of HLA-DR+ cells (most of which were activated T cells) was not significantly different between nasal mucosa and nasal polyps. CONCLUSION: Histopathological and flow cytometric analyses were performed on the composition of inflammatory cells in nasal mucosa of the inferior turbinates and in polyps from the same patients. The elevated numbers of activated eosinophils, neutrophils and plasma cells in nasal polyps compared with nasal mucosa suggest that inflammatory processes play important roles in the pathophysiology of nasal polyps. The frequencies of lymphocytes and lymphocyte subsets were not significantly different between these two tissues. 相似文献

Surgical treatment in cases where disturbances of the nasal patency causes changes in the nasal inferior turbinates is controversial. The authors performed light- and electron microscopy and morphometric examinations of the mucous membrane of the nasal inferior turbinates obtained after partial inferior turbinectomy in patients with vasomotor and perennial allergic rhinitis and compensation hypertrophy of the nasal inferior turbinate accompanied by nasal deviation of the septum. In specimens obtained from patients with vasomotor rhinitis, a small number of glands and fibrosis of the lamina propria was observed. In specimens obtained from perennial allergic rhinitis patients, plenty of glands and large oedema was observed. In the group with compensatory hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, normal glands and fibred areas around the vessels were observed. The largest histopathological changes of degeneration and hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa were observed in vasomotor rhinitis patients. Histopathological examination of nasal mucosa slides confirmed the usefulness of a partial inferior turbinectomy, but only in vasomotor rhinitis patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The term nasal polyposis describes benign growth processes in the nasal and sinus mucosa, which are mainly located in the middle meatus and never in the inferior meatus. As a step to define the biochemical determinants relevant for growth regulation, we focused on endogenous lectins known for anti-apoptotic (galectin-3) and immunomodulatory (galectin-1) activities. DESIGN: Using computer-assisted microscopy, we performed an immunohistochemical investigation defining the quantitative parameters of expression of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in 10 nasal polyps, 10 middle turbinates, and 10 inferior turbinates, all of which were obtained from surgical resection. RESULTS: Our data show that galectin-3 expression is markedly (P<.001) higher in nasal polyps than in turbinates. No relation to the allergic status was discovered. Galectin-1 expression is higher in nasal polyps than in middle turbinates (P<.001) in nonallergic patients compared with allergic ones (in glandular epithelium, P =.009; in connective tissue, P =.006). The lowest galectin-1 expression was observed in the middle turbinate. CONCLUSIONS: These data are in line with a positive influence of galectin-3 on growth and an immunoregulatory role of galectin-1, mimicking an increased expression dependent on glucocorticoid. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Nasal polyps are considered to result from chronic inflammation, but the initial or persisting stimulus for the inflammation is not known. A variety of bacteria and fungi have been cultured from nasal polyps, but approximately 35% have sterile cultures. Previously, Mycoplasma pneumoniae-specific DNA was detected in human nasal polyps using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, suggesting M. pneumoniae as a causative agent in the etiology of nasal polyps. METHODS: In this study, we tested for the presence of bacterial DNA in nasal polyps resected from 40 patients, in nasal mucosa membrane from 9 patients undergoing turbinectomy for hypertrophy, and in sinus mucosa membrane from 6 patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for chronic sinusitis. Tissue DNA was extracted and analyzed by PCR using M. pneumoniae specific primers for DNA that encode the 16S rRNA gene in 41 specimens (31 polyps, 6 turbinates, and 4 sinus), and by consensus sequence-based PCR using broad range primers for most eubacterial DNA encoding the 16S rRNA gene in 38 specimens (26 polyps, 7 turbinates, and 5 sinuses). RESULTS: Only two samples were positive for bacterial DNA encoding 16S rRNA: Streptococcus sp. DNA was isolatedfrom one polyp specimen and Pseudomonas aeruginosa DNA was isolated in one maxillary sinusitis specimen. No evidence of M. pneumoniae-specific DNA encoding 16S rRNA was found in any of the tissues. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that chronic bacterial infection is not a major component of nasal polyp etiology. 相似文献

Expression, localization, and significance of vascular permeability/vascular endothelial growth factor in nasal polyps 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: The exact etiologic mechanisms leading to the formation of nasal polyps have remained largely obscure. A key phenomenon of this specific type of chronic inflammatory disease in nasal respiratory mucosa is remarkable edema. Vascular permeability/vascular endothelial growth factor (VPF/VEGF) plays an important role in inducing angiogenesis and modulating capillary permeability. OBJECTIVE: To study the expression and localization of VPF/ VEGF as a putative key factor in nasal polyp development. METHODS: Specimens of nasal polyps (n = 12) were harvested during endonasal sinus surgery in patients with polypous chronic rhinosinusitis. Specimens of healthy nasal respiratory mucosa (n = 12) served as controls and were obtained from inferior turbinates of patients undergoing surgery for nasal obstruction without signs and symptoms of inflammatory disease. Frozen sections were immunohistochemically stained for VPF/VEGF and quantitatively analyzed, using computer-based image analysis. RESULTS: The expression of VPF/VEGF in specimens of nasal polyps was significantly stronger than in specimens of healthy nasal mucosa of controls. VPF/VEGF in polypous tissue was mainly localized in vascular endothelial cells, in basal membranes and perivascular spaces, and in epithelial cells. CONCLUSION: The markedly increased expression in nasal polyps as opposed to healthy nasal mucosa suggests that VPF/VEGF may play a significant role in both the formation of nasal polyps and in the induction of heavy tissue edema. This finding is discussed with respect to the differential expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) in nasal polyps was significantly stronger than in specimens of healthy nasal mucosa of controls. VPF/VEGF in polypous tissue was mainly localized in vascular endothelial cells, in basal membranes and perivascular spaces, and in epithelial cells. Conclusion: The markedly increased expression in nasal polyps as opposed to healthy nasal mucosa suggests that VPF/VEGF may play a significant role in both the formation of nasal polyps and in the induction of heavy tissue edema. This finding is discussed with respect to the differential expression of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) in nasal polyps. 相似文献

CONCLUSION: Ecalectin, which is produced in the mucosa of nasal polyps, seems to play an important role in the accumulation and activation of eosinophils in nasal polyps, regardless of the presence or absence of atopic predisposition. OBJECTIVE: Ecalectin is a recently discovered eosinophil chemoattractant which elongs to the galectin family. We investigated the expression of ecalectin in nasal polyp tissues associated with various nasal and paranasal diseases in order to clarify the pathogenesis of eosinophilia in nasal polyposis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nasal polyps were taken from 56 patients diagnosed as having chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis. The surgically resected polyps and nasal turbinates were immunohistochemically stained using antibodies against EG2, human mast cell tryptase, CD3 and ecalectin. RESULTS: The number of EG2- and ecalectin-positive cells was significantly higher in nasal polyps than control turbinates. Ecalectin-positive cells were observed in the subepithelial layer, where many EG2-positive cells were present. The number of ecalectin-positive cells correlated significantly with the number of EG2-positive cells in nasal polyps. Many ecalectin mRNA-positive cells were also observed in nasal polyps with an accumulation of EG2-positive cells. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study the distribution and expression of aquaporion-2 (water channel protein; AQP-2) in nasal polyps and to evaluate the role of AQP-2 in the formation of nasal polyps. METHODS: Eleven samples of normal inferior turbinates and forty-six samples of nasal polyps were used. In the group of nasal polyps, there were ten cases of type II phase 1, twelve type II phase 2, ten type II phase 3 and fourteen type III. The expression of AQP-2 in both groups was studied with immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: 1. Both the number of AQP-2 positive cells and the area density in the epithelial cell layer from nasal polyps were higher than those from inferior turbinates (P < 0.01, P < 0.05 respectively); In the group of nasal polyps, the area density from type III, type II phase 2 and type II phase 3 was significantly higher than that from type II phase 1 (P < 0.05); 2. Both the number of AQP-2 positive cells and the area density in the subepithelial tissue from type III, type II phase 2 and type II phase 3 nasal polyps were higher than those from type II phase 1 nasal polyps and inferior turbinates(P < 0.05), whereas the difference between the latter two was not significant(P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The high expression of AQP-2 protein in nasal polyps may contribute to the genesis and development of nasal polyps. 相似文献

Summary Clinical parameters of 72 patients who were operated upon for nasal polyps were evaluated as well as biopsy specimens of the mucosa of the middle and inferior turbinates of 41 of these patients. Biopsies were taken at the time of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), after 6 months and after 1 year in 23 patients. During the follow-up period the patients were treated with topical corticosteroids (budesonide). At the time of ESS significantly more CD8+ (suppressor/cytotoxic) cells than CD4+ (helper/inducer) cells were found in the middle and inferior turbinates. At 6 months significantly more CD4+ cells were found than at the time of ESS, whereas at 1 year the number of CD4+ cells had decreased and was lower than at 6 months. These data support the theory that the occurrence of nasal polyps is associated with T-cell-dependent disturbances. Clinical evaluation revealed that most of the patients with chronic airway obstruction had better pulmonary functions postoperatively or required less medication for lung disease. These findings show that ESS combined with topical corticosteroids has a positive effect on upper and lower respiratory tract pathology.

鼻息肉组织嗜酸粒细胞中水通道蛋白-1和抗凋亡基因Bcl-2 mRNA的表达及意义 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
OBJECTIVE: To study the significance of aquaporin-1 (AQP-1) expression in the eosinophils of nasal polyps. The expression and location of AQP-1 mRNA and apoptosis associated gene Bcl-2 mRNA in nasal polyps were explored. METHODS: Sixteen nasal polyp samples were collected from 11 women and 5 men aged 20-65 years during routine endonasal surgery. Nasal mucosa specimens from the inferior turbinates of 10 patients with allergic rhinitis (7 women and 3 men, aged 16-58 years), collected during septoplasty, were used as controls. The expression of AQP-1 mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA was detected in serial adjacent sections by in situ hybridization and eosinophils were examined by stain MGG. RESULTS: AQP-1 mRNA expression was found in all 16 nasal polyps and in 4 of 10 inferior turbinate tissues, the mean expression rates were (93.16 +/- 13.25)% and (19.54 +/- 4.98)%, respectively. All 16 nasal polyps and 10 control nasal tissues expressed Bcl-2 mRNA, by the average rates of (84.74 +/- 12.10)% and (16.45 +/- 3.12)%, respectively. The expression of AQP-1 mRNA was positively correlated with Bcl-2 mRNA expression in nasal polyps (r = 0.875, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: AQP-1 contributes to the survival of eosinophils in nasal polyps by keeping the permeation balance of eosinophils. 相似文献
