Nasal Muco-ciliary transport time alteration: efficacy of 18 B Glycyrrhetinic acid

Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2017
Background Mucociliary clearance is the main self-clearing system of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. This is a very important means of non specific defence against continuous organic and inorganic contamination conveyed by air.

Airway cilia recovery post lung transplantation

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Background Normally functioning airway cilia is essential for efficient mucociliary clearance to protect the airway from various insults. Impaired clearance may lead to increased risk of infections and progressive lung damage.

Lateral Mucosal Flap With Steroid‐Eluting Implant in Revision Draf Type III Frontal Sinus Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This technical note introduces a novel endoscopic strategy that integrates a laterally based endonasal mucosal flap with a bioabsorbable steroid‐eluting implant to prevent restenosis following revision of Draf type III frontal sinus surgery. The vascularized flap is stabilized and maintained in close apposition to the underlying bone by a self ...

Increasing concentration of inhaled saline with or without amiloride: Effect on mucociliary clearance in normal subjects

, 2003
Mucociliary clearance is determined by ciliary activity and rheology of airway surface liquid. To test the hypothesis that mucociliary clearance would increase after inhalation of an osmotically active agent that would increase the volume of airway ...

Adaptations to Ozone in Reference to Mucociliary Clearance [PDF]

, 1979
Adaptation to ozone in respiratory tract mucociliary clearance was investigated in this study. Eighty rats inhaled insoluble radioactively labeled particles in order to permit monitoring of clearance.

Radiotherapy‐Induced Otitis Media With Effusion in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This meta‐analysis of eight studies comprising 582 NPC patients provides the first quantitative synthesis of radiotherapy‐induced otitis media with effusion (OME), demonstrating a significant overall risk difference of 0.18 (95% CI: −0.06 to 0.42, p < 0.0001) in OME naive ears.

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.

PLACE OF MUKOACTIVE THERAPY OF RINOSINUSITIS IN INTERNATIONAL AND RUSSIAN GUIDELINES

Медицинский совет, 2017
Excessive accumulation of mucous secretions in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is key drivers in the pathogenesis  of rhinosinusitis. Mucoactive drugs are actively used to combat this phenomenon.

The Airway Epithelial Barrier in Childhood Asthma: A Central Player in Glucocorticoid Therapy, Resistance, and Severe Asthma

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood asthma remains a global public health challenge with suboptimal control, despite the availability of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as first‐line therapy. Glucocorticoids suppress inflammation and protect the airway epithelial barrier (AEB) via genomic and nongenomic pathways.
