BACKGROUND: Cysteinyl leukotrienes play a disease-regulating role in rhinosinusitis and asthma, particularly aspirin-sensitive disease. They act through 2 G-protein coupled receptors termed cysteinyl leukotriene type 1 receptor (cysLT 1 ) and cysteinyl leukotriene type 2 receptor (cysLT 2 ). We previously compared expression of cysLT 1 on mucosal leukocytes in patients with aspirin-sensitive and aspirin-tolerant rhinosinusitis. OBJECTIVE: To compare expression of cysLT 1 and cysLT 2 on leukocytes, mucus glands, and epithelium in 32 patients with chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis (21 aspirin-sensitive, 11 aspirin-tolerant) and 9 normal controls. METHODS: Total numbers of CD45 + leukocytes, percentages of these cells expressing cysLT 1 or cysLT 2 , and percentages of the total epithelial and glandular areas expressing cysLT 1 or cysLT 2 were measured in sections of nasal biopsies by using immunohistochemistry and image analysis. RESULTS: The percentages of mucosal CD45 + leukocytes expressing cysLT 1 were significantly ( P < .0001) elevated in the aspirin-sensitive but not the aspirin-tolerant patients compared with the controls. In contrast, the percentages of leukocytes expressing cysLT 2 did not differ significantly in the 3 groups. On epithelial and glandular cells, expression of cysLT 2 significantly exceeded that of cysLT 1 in both the patients with rhinosinusitis and the controls ( P < or = .004), although there was no significant difference in the expression of either receptor in the patients with rhinosinusitis (aspirin-sensitive or aspirin-tolerant) and the controls. CONCLUSION: Although cysLT 1 expression predominates on inflammatory leukocytes in patients with aspirin-sensitive rhinosinusitis, the effects of cysteinyl leukotrienes on glands and epithelium may be mediated predominantly through cysLT 2. This has potentially important therapeutic implications. 相似文献

This paper describes the design and implementation of an application that parses and analyzes radiology report text to provide a radiologic differential diagnosis. The system was constructed using a combination of freely available web-based APIs and originally developed during the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 2014 Hackathon. Continued development has refined and increased the accuracy of the algorithm. This project demonstrates the power and possibilities of combining existing technologies to solve unique problems as well as the stimulus of the hackathon setting to spur innovation. 相似文献

Calreticulin (CRT) as a multi-functional endoplasmic reticulum protein is involved in a spectrum of cellular processes which ranges from calcium homeostasis and chaperoning to cell adhesion and finally malignant formation and progression. Previous studies have shown a contributing role for CRT in a range of different cancers. This present review will focus on the possible roles of CRT in the progression of malignant proliferation and the mechanisms involved in its contribution to cancer invasion. 相似文献

We studied 209 children, referred to a multi‐disciplinary ‘Glue ear/Allergy’ clinic at our hospital with a history of chronic or recurrent otitis media with effusion (OME), in order to determine the prevalence of atopic disease in this population. Referrals were made either from within the hospital by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeons and Audiological Physicians (internal), or by General Practitioners (external). Assessment of atopic status was based on medical history, physical examination, nasal smears and skin‐prick testing (SPT) in all children; and on blood eosinophil counts and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in a randomly selected subset. The main outcome measures were number of children with rhinitis, asthma, eczema, positive SPT, raised IgE level (> 100 IU/l), and nasal and blood eosinophilia. We found allergic rhinitis in 89%, asthma in 36%, and eczema in 24%. SPTs were positive to one or more of eight common inhalant aeroallergens in 57% of children. Blood tests in the selected subset revealed eosinophilia in 40% and a raised serum IgE in 28%. The worldwide prevalence of allergic rhinitis in children has been estimated to be 20%. The 89% prevalence found in this study is very high and there are a number of reasons which suggest that there may be a causal relationship. Whole‐population studies will be required to confirm these findings, which could have important therapeutic implications for OME. 相似文献

Identifying the differences between infants with non-accidental head injuries (NAHI) and accidental head injuries (AHI) may help alert clinicians to recognize markers of abuse. A retrospective review of infants <1 year of age admitted to a tertiary referral centre in Malaysia over a two year period with a diagnosis of head injury or abnormal computed tomography head scans was conducted to identify the clinical features pointing towards a diagnosis of NAHI by comparing the socio-demographics, presenting complaints, clinical features and the extent of hospital investigations carried out. NAHI infants were more likely to be symptomatic, under a non-related caregiver's supervision, and presented with inconsistent or no known mechanism of injury. Subdural haemorrhages were more common in NAHI infants. The history, mechanism of injury, presenting signs and symptoms as well as the nature of the injuries sustained are all valuable clues as to whether a head injury sustained during infancy is likely to be accidental or not. 相似文献
