The Relationship

AbstractThe relationship between upper and lower respiratory tract infections has been demonstrated previously, although the effect of chronic infection of One tract on the other has not been well studied. This work analyses the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid of patients with chronic purulent rhino-sinusitis and reveals and increase in the neutrophil nitro-blue tetrazolium dye reduction test positivity provides evidence for increased phagocutosis to compensate for the increased contamination of the lower respiratory tract.

The Relationship

Abstract: Upper Respiratory Track Infections (URI) is a kind of respiratory disease which is closely related to the quality of housing and the quality of ambient air. Ventilation is one component of a residential environmental health assessment. The dust may cause dryness of mucous in the respiratory tract so that a person may suffer or feel the symptoms of respiratory infection. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between ambient air dust and ventilation in the former place of fi nal processing (TPA) Keputih with URI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection). This research is a cross sectional analytical and observational. The sample in this study is the ambient air concentration of dust particles and housewives from 77 families in RW VIII Keputih Area. To determine the relationship of ambient air dust and ventilation with respiratorydisease using Chi Square test. The results showed that respondents who had experienced respiratory infection as much as 89,6%. Levels of dust particles measured at the point I exceeded the quality standard that is equal to 0,3223 mg/Nm3. Home ventilation that do not appropiate the requirements of a healthy home is at 93.5%.There’s a relationship between the use of home ventilation with URI (p = 0.000) and the levels of ambient air dust particles with URI (p = 0.003). This study concludes that the two variables associated with the incidence of respiratory infection so the need for community empowerment and proactive attitude of the various instruments of government in the area of research on the prevention of URI and the presence of a good control of the quality of environmental health VIII RW Keputih Area.Keywords: dust quality, home ventilation, the ex-place of fi nal processing, URI

The Relationship

Hundreds of commensal bacteria are existed in the mouth and nose, and the interactions between these microbiotas and the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in different parts of the upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and immune cells maty assist to maintain the homeostasis of the immune system. Thus, it is importantto study the relationship between type one hypersensitivity and normal flora in the mouth and nose. Blood and saliva or sputum samples of seventy-one allergic patients were collected randomly in Baghdad/ Al- Zahraa center for asthma and allergies. Those patients were suffering from different types of hypersensitivity type1 such as skin and respiratory tract allergy (e.g, asthma and Rhinitis). The results revealed that the allergic females percentage were more than males. Staphylococcus spp., Lactobacillus and Fungi spp. isolated from the mouth and nose were more prevalent than other microorganisms among different age groups. In addition, most age groups were given significant variation in TLR2 level, while TLR4 recorded variation in female more than male patients.

And Diffusion

The research on the relationship between vortex evolution and diffusion of aerosol in human upper respiratory tract can deepen understanding of the characteristics of the particle deposition pattern in human upper respiratory tract and plays a very important role in analyzing the transition of aerosol in human upper respiratory tract. Large eddy simulation and an efficient Lagrangian particle tracking module were used to simulate relationship between vortex evolution and diffusion of aerosol in mouth-throat model in the conditions of the low intensive respiratory, and the vortex evolution and the mechanism of aerosol transition in human mouth-throat model were discussed. The results show that the diffusion of small aerosol particles follow the vortex structure very closely; the capabilities of the vortex for carrying aerosol particle increase with increase in vorticity, which can affect the diffuseness and deposition of the particles.
