Osteitis and mucosal inflammation in a rabbit model of sinusitis

Abstract

This study demonstrated that in an animal model of sinusitis that does not disturb the sinus directly osteitis occurs in the affected sinus and that it also affects the contralateral side.

Preclinical evaluation of Luffa operculata Cogn. and its main active principle in the treatment of bacterial rhinosinusitis

“…Some studies have already evaluated the histological inflammatory pattern of sinusitis in animal models. 21 , 22 …”

Microarray analysis of the genes associated with osteitis in chronic rhinosinusitis

“…H&E evaluation was made taking all areas into consideration. A four‐point scoring method was used to determine the degree of tissue inflammation . Grade 0 was considered as normal histology, grade I as mild inflammation, grade II as mild to moderate inflammation, grade III as moderate inflammation, and grade IV as severe inflammation.…”

“…A four-point scoring method was used to determine the degree of tissue inflammation. 10 Grade 0 was considered as normal histology, grade I as mild inflammation, grade II as mild to moderate inflammation, grade III as moderate inflammation, and grade IV as severe inflammation. In all cases, a single numerical value was obtained by counting eosinophil leucocytes in four to five high-power fields.…”

Nasal Septal Deviation and Concha Bullosa – Do They Have an Impact on Maxillary Sinus Volumes and Prevalence of Maxillary Sinusitis?

“…[12]. The reason might be the fact that low air quality can lead to chronic sinusitis [13,14] and the air pollution level in Cracow has been among the worst of all the European cities in the recent years [15]. That is why the population of this city was chosen for the study.…”
