“…Similarly to what was observed in our study, chronic sinusitis of maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses, septal deviations and acute rhinitis may cause ascending infection of the duct, resulting in inflammatory reaction, edema, ulceration and finally, chronic dacryocystitis. Bilateral stenosis is rare 1,8 , as observed by us.…”

Endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR)is now a well-established procedure to relieve nasolacrimal duct obstruction, becoming its domain for the ENT surgeons indispensable. Aim: The aim of the present study is to report the experience of the Otorhinolaryngology Department of the University of São Paulo Medical School in the management of the obstruction of the drainage of the nasolacrimal system by EN-DCR, comparing with the results in literature. Study design: clinical retrospective. Material and Method: We reviewed the medical records of 17 patients (17 eyes) that were submitted to EN-DCR between april 2001 and july 2004. We analysed: sex, age at the time of diagnosis, etiology, clinical findings, surgical technique, use of silicone tubes, follow-up and complications. Results: Eight men and nine women, the age range was from 29 to 79 years (mean 42.6413.1 years), mean follow-up time: 15 months, presented a lacrimal clinic with epiphora. Powered DCR was performed in 06 cases and YAG LASER in 01 patient. Silicone tubes were used in all cases and left in place mean 7.9 weeks. The surgical success rate was 82,3%. Conclusion: EN-DCR showed one safe technique, with advantages in relation to the external technique. So ophthalmologists and ENT physicians must work in harmony to offer more benefits to its patients.

“…Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa sometimes affecting patients with allergy. The polyp stroma is highly edematous, with a varying density of inflammatory cells and fibroblasts [18]. In the airway, fibroblasts, which also include myofibroblasts, produce collagen and have been shown to produce specific cytokines that may attract inflammatory cells to the airway and perpetuate the inflammatory and fibrotic processes [19,20].…”

TNF‐α and IL‐4 regulate expression of fractalkine (CX₃CL1) as a membrane‐anchored proadhesive protein and soluble chemotactic peptide on human fibroblasts

et al. 2004

The CX 3 C chemokine, fractalkine (FKN, CX 3 CL1), has multiple functions and exists as two distinct forms, a membrane-anchored protein and a soluble chemotactic peptide that cleaves from the cell surface FKN. In this study, we ¢rst demonstrated the expression of FKN in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-K K-and interleukin (IL)-4-stimulated human ¢broblasts. The induction of FKN was observed for both forms. We also demonstrated monocyte chemotactic activity in the culture supernatant from the ¢broblasts stimulated with these cytokines. These results suggest that TNF-K K-and IL-4-stimulated ¢bro-blasts may play an important role in accumulation of monocytes at in£ammatory sites.
