Chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses which produces several proinflammatory cytokines including; IFN-γ, TGF-β1, IL-1β, IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-5. The use of NaCl  0.9% nasal  wash in  chronic  rhinosinusitis  could reduce  mucin  secretion,  decrease  the  production  of postnasal  drip,  accelerate  mucosal  repair  and  reduce  the  symptoms  of  nasal  obstruction.  From  above, researchers want to know the effect of NaCl 0.9% nasal wash of the levels of cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in the mucosa  of  the  nose  and  paranasal  sinuses  in  patients  with  chronic  rhinosinusitis.  This  research  is  an experimental study with the technique of pre and post test design to determine the effect of NaCl 0.9% nasal wash of the gene expression of IL-1β and TNF-α of nasal mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The amount  of IL-1β gene copynumber before and  after nasal  wash is  obtained 8.07 ± 0.95  and 8,20 ± 0.93 (p >0.05). The amount of TNF-α gene copynumber before and after nasal wash was 8,83 ±3,83 and 6,72 ±2,55 (p >0.05). IL-1β gene ratio starting and ending intervention in two groups was 52,51 ± 1.21 and 61,99 ± 1.13. TNF-α gene ratio starting and ending intervention in two groups was 9,63 ±2.21 and 334,4 ±1.31. In this study there was no significant reduction in the absolute expression (log copynumber) gene IL-1β and TNF-α of nasal mucosa after being given medical treatment with NaCl 0,9% nasal wash.

Abstract Introduction Combination of chronic inflammation and an altered tissue remodeling process are involved in the development of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). Studies demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells expressing the progenitor gene CD133 were involved in a significant reduction of the chronic inflammatory process in the polypoid tissue. Objective To evaluate the levels of CD133 (Prominin-1) in nasal polypoid tissue and its correlation with interleukin-8 (IL-8) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1). Methods A total of 74 subjects were divided in the following groups: control group (n = 35); chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps nonpresenting comorbid asthma and aspirin intolerance (CRSwNPnonAI) group (n = 27); and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps presenting comorbid asthma and aspirin intolerance (CRSwNPAI) group (n = 12). Histologic analysis and also evaluation of the concentration of CD133, IL-8, and TGF-β1 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were performed in nasal tissue obtained from nasal polypectomy or from middle turbinate tissue. Results Higher eosinophilic infiltration was found in both CRSwNP groups by histologic analysis. Lower levels of TGF-β1 and IL-8 were observed in both CRSwNP groups when compared with the control group, whereas the CD133 levels were significantly reduced only in the CRSwNPnonAI group compared with the control group. Conclusion It was demonstrated that the nasal mucosa presenting polyposis showed a significant reduction of CD133 levels, and also that this reduction was significantly correlated with the reduction of TGF-β1 levels, but not with IL-8 levels. Therefore, these findings may be involved in the altered inflammatory and remodeling processes observed in the nasal polyposis.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still a relevant global problem. Although some patients have recovered from COVID-19, the sequalae to the SARS-CoV-2 infection may include pulmonary fibrosis, which may contribute to considerable economic burden and health-care challenges. Convalescent Chinese Prescription (CCP) has been widely used during the COVID-19 recovery period for patients who were at high risk of pulmonary fibrosis and is recommended by the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 (Trial Version sixth, seventh). However, its underlying mechanism is still unclear.Methods: In this study, an integrated pharmacology approach was implemented, which involved evaluation of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of CCP, data mining of the disease targets, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, and analysis, enrichment analysis, and molecular docking simulation, to predict the bioactive components, potential targets, and molecular mechanism of CCP for pulmonary fibrosis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.Results: The active compound of CCP and the candidate targets, including pulmonary fibrosis targets, were obtained through database mining. The Drug-Disease network was constructed. Sixty-five key targets were identified by topological analysis. The findings of Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotation suggested that the VEGF, Toll-like 4 receptor, MAPK signaling pathway, and TGF-β1 signaling pathways may be involved in pulmonary fibrosis. In the molecular docking analyses, VEGF, TNF-α, IL-6, MMP9 exhibited good binding activity. Findings from our study indicated that CCP could inhibit the expression of VEGF, TNF-α, IL-6, MMP9, TGF-β1 via the VEGF, Toll-like 4 receptor, MAPK, and TGF-β1 signaling pathways.Conclusion: Potential mechanisms involved in CCP treatment for COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection involves multiple components and multiple target points as well as multiple pathways. These findings may offer a profile for further investigations of the anti-fibrotic mechanism of CCP.
