Abstract: Objective To study the CT features of fungal rhino-sinusitis and to assess its diagnostic value. Methods CT features of 47 cases of fungal rhino-sinusitis proved by surgery and pathology from January 2007 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Results There are 43 cases of unilateral fungal infection and 4 cases of double sides. On CT scanning, soft tissues were presented in all the infected sinuses of all cases, heterogeneous density with spot,strip or lump calcification was presented in 37 cases(78.7%) and homogeneous density was presented in 10 cases(22.2%). There were bones thickening in 39 lesions(83.0%), dwindling of sinus in 20 patients(42.6%), and air bubble in 11 cases(23.4%).In 41 cases that lesions implicated in the maxilla, 33 cases(80.5%) showed obstruction and dilation of maxillary sinus ostium and 15 cases(36.6%)showed damage or resorption of medial wall. Conclusion Fungal rhino-sinusitis has characteristic findings on CT. The major CT findings are heterogeneous density of sinusal cavity with small calcification appeared as spots,floccose,sand-like or patchy shadows and local bone destruction. CT is a valuable method for diagnosis and treatment of fungal rhino-sinusitis.

[2] Nasal polyps(NP)are frequently divided into subtypes, including eosinophilic and neutrophilic, among others, according to their endotypes. However, the mechanisms of neutrophilic NP need to be further elucidated. This study explores the influence of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate(2-APB)on inflammatory reactions of neutrophilic NP in vitro. MethodsWe used immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining to detect the infiltration of neutrophils(NEU)in normal nasal mucosa and NP tissues. These tissues were subsequently cultured in vitro using an organ culture technique, and concentrations of Orai1 and myeloperoxidase(MPO)were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). 2-APB was administered to both cultures, and the measurement of Orai1 and MPO concentrations using ELISA was repeated. ResultsAll samples were identified as neutrophilic NP. The number of NEU was higher in NP than in normal nasal mucosa. Concentrations of Orai1 and MPO were also higher in NP cultured in vitro than in normal tissue. After the administration of 2-APB, Orai1 protein and the mediator MPO were reduced significantly in the cultures. Conclusion2-APB may inhibit inflammatory reactions of neutrophilic NP in vitro.. 2- aminoethoxydiphenyl borate inhibits inflammatory reactions of neutrophilic nasal polyps in vitroDAI Fei, WEI Jinjin, TANG Xinyue, CHEN Zheng, LIN Lin Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Huashan Hospital North of Fudan University, Shanghai 201907, ChinaAbstract:Objective〓 [J].
