The excavation at Tell el-Retaba in 2014 and 2015 comprised three seasons of fieldwork, carried out in sectors of the site already opened in previous years. The earliest archaeological remains date from the Second Intermediate Period and represent a Hyksos settlement and cemetery. Ruins of an early Eighteenth Dynasty settlement, fortresses from the Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties and from the Third Intermediate Period settlement continued to be excavated as well. Of note are some archaeological remains from the 17th–19th centuries, presented for the first time in the fieldwork report.
Pottery from Dongola: a stratigraphic assemblage from unit B.I.41
Authors: Danys Katarzyna
Published: July 2018

The article discusses an assemblage of pottery recovered from unit B.I.41 in the palatial building B.I excavated on the citadel of Dongola in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Exploration started with the fill of the room, followed by the fill of structures belonging to an earlier building below it. A well dated sequence of layers from the 6th through 7th centuries was identified. The pottery assemblage proved to be very abundant, composed of table vessels, cooking pots, storage and transport containers; the lattermost group included imported examples, mainly from Egypt. Most of the finds represented Dongolan ceramic production from the period in question.

This paper presents a summary of the results. Special attention was focused on the layout of the buildings and on vault usage. Remarks concern the functionality of the explored space, based on an interpretation of the stratigraphy. Evidence of strong water erosion in the early stages of the settlement is also discussed.
The utility ware assemblage from the hermitage inside tomb MMA 1152 in West Thebes: selected issues, provisional characteristic and research methodology
Authors: Górecki Tomasz
Published: July 2018

The text concerns a pottery assemblage from one isolated site (a hermitage installed inside a Pharaonic tomb) in Sheikh Abd el-Gurna, inhabited by monks from the end of the 5th to the beginning of the 8th century. The specific nature of the place, that is, its isolation, rocky terrain and lack of clear stratigraphy, called for different research and documentation methods compared to those used on extensive settlement sites. Less attention was paid to taxonomic research in favor of observations regarding the function and importance of vessels in the everyday life of the monks living in the hermitage, a reconstruction of their dietary habits and the nature of the work that they did.
The Indian trade between the Gulf and the Red Sea
Authors: Gawlikowski Michał
Published: July 2018

This essay evaluates the relative importance of the maritime trade between the Roman Empire and India along two routes that were in use: one started and ended on the Egyptian shore of the Red Sea, the other at the head of the Gulf. Both continued on land along caravan tracks to the Nile valley or through the Syrian desert to Palmyra. The latter land route, longer and presumably more cost-consuming, was used only during the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. The land link with the Far East, the so-called Silk Road, does not seem to have been regularly used. A document from Palmyra allows to estimate the value of the trade along the Syrian route as much smaller than that of the Red Sea traffic. It could have been mainly of local, Syrian importance, and lasted only as long as political circumstances allowed.
Port town and its harbors: sedimentary proxies for landscape and seascape reconstruction of the Greco-Roman site of Berenike Trogodytica on the Red Sea coast of Egypt
Authors: Kotarba-Morley Anna M.
Published: July 2018

Berenike Trogodytica was one of the key harbours on the Red Sea coast during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods and was a major trade and exchange hub connecting the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. Berenike’s geographical position was extraordinarily propitious owing partly to its natural harbours, protected against the prevailing northern winds, as well as its location in the vicinity of an ancient viewshed, the large peninsula of Ras Benas. This paper discusses how multifaceted geoarchaeological approaches to the study of ancient ports can contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms and logistics of maritime trade, as well as fluctuations in its quality and quantity. It also sheds new light on the significance of the effect that local and regional palaeoclimatic, landscape, seascape and environmental changes had on the development and decline of the port, and its changing role within the Red Sea–Indian Ocean maritime network.

Objetivo: Conhecer a prevalência de depressão em médicos da Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) da cidade de Itajaí/SC. Métodos: Foram utilizados o Inventário de Depressão de Beck para rastreamento dos sintomas depressivos e um questionário elaborado pelos pesquisadores para coletar informações da vida pessoal e profissional. Os dados coletados foram armazenados em tabela de Microsoft Excel, estratificados conforme intensidade dos sintomas e as variáveis relacionáveis. Para apresentação, foram calculadas frequências absolutas e percentuais. Resultados: Em uma amostra de 45 médicos, apenas sintomas depressivos leves foram identificados, o que representou somente 13% dos participantes, porém nenhuma das variáveis analisadas neste estudo apresentou associação com depressão. A grande maioria dos resultados se mostrou satisfatoriamente positiva para prevenção e fatores estressores: horas de sono suficientes, número adequado de consultas, satisfação com o trabalho, prática de atividade física e não relatar antecedentes psiquiátricos. Conclusões: São percebidos, no presente estudo, poucos médicos na ESF de Itajaí/SC com sintomas depressivos, contudo, considera-se, ainda, fundamental a adoção de estratégias na melhoria da saúde mental destes profissionais.
BIOÉTICA E MATERIALISMO FILOSÓFICO: UM DIÁLOGO NECESSÁRIO
Authors: Alves Antônio José Lopes , Silva Sabina Maura
Published: July 2018

Este artigo discute os principais vigamentos conceituais filosóficos que sustentam a proposta de pesquisa Revisão Crítico-Materialista da Bioética, que se encontra em desenvolvimento pelos autores deste trabalho. Nele são desdobrados os temas e problemas envolvidos na elaboração de uma compreensão materialista das questões bioéticas. Argumenta-se não apenas da possibilidade, mas também da necessidade, de se pensar os desafios e dilemas bioéticos num quadro referencial diferente daquele dominante. A posição materialista aqui apresentada examina os temas da bioética partindo de uma compreensão crítica das suas determinações, de natureza histórico-social. A materialidade distintiva do humano, em todas as suas pressuposições, condições e formas de expressão, é o ponto de partida da reflexão aqui proposta. Neste, o humano é um modo material, concreto, mas bastante peculiar, de ser e de viver, que se distancia, não obstante perseverando em sua natureza material e vivente, daquele que caracteriza as formas imediatamente biológicas da animalidade.
PATOLOGIAS DA LIBERDADE: PROBLEMAS DAS NORMAS OU DOS SUJEITOS?
Authors: Buril Bárbara
Published: July 2018

Os diagnósticos das patologias das liberdades jurídica e moral, elaborados pelo filósofo frankfurtiano Axel Honneth em O direito da liberdade, são abordados neste artigo segundo as suas complexidades sintomatológicas, mas também em suas incompletudes etiológicas (causais), a fim de mostrar que o déficit etiológico nestes diagnósticos está relacionado ao uso da reconstrução normativa como método pelo filósofo. Na primeira parte, defenderemos como os limites na concepção de liberdade jurídica são responsáveis pelo surgimento da incapacidade de estabelecer relações sociais afetivas (I). Em seguida, observaremos como, segundo Honneth, a concepção de liberdade moral é capaz de promover sofrimentos como rigidez e engessamento (II). Nestas duas seções, mostraremos como Honneth desenvolve uma etiologia limitada em ambos os diagnósticos. Por último, desenvolveremos a concepção de liberdade social proposta por Honneth (III), sem deixar de apontar como a crítica das patologias sociais se desmobiliza dentro de um espectro de pressupostos que apenas vê “desenvolvimentos errados de normas corretas”, e não “desenvolvimentos corretos de normas problemáticas” nas esferas de realização individual dos sujeitos, segundo a lógica metodológica da reconstrução normativa (IV).

La vinculación positiva de los poderes públicos a los derechos fundamentales
Authors: Gavara de Cara Juan Carlos
Published: July 2018

In the Spanish Constitution, the entailment to fundamental rights operates starting off a double scheme. Article 9.1 CE allows to deduce a negative entailment to the fundamental rights, that is to say, the duty of citizens and public powers of abstaining of any activity that harms the Constitution, which includes tacitly the fundamental rights. Article 53.1 CE settles down specifically the positive entailment to fundamental rights, that affects exclusively the public powers and it consists, first, in a general duty of carrying out its own functions in conformity with the Constitution and, second, in a mandate of developing the effectiveness of the fundamental rights in the sense of establishing its full realization. This article carries out an analysis of the positive entailment, distinguishing and treating the consequences through their subjective or objective implications. The subjective positive entailment has the purpose of determining the consequences for the public powers’ functions that we will distinguish in the three classic powers: legislative, executive and judicial. The objective positive entailment should determine the effects that take place materially to fundamental rights: distinguishing between the defense rights and those of benefit.

El Estado autonómico treinta años después: ensayo de una valoración
Authors: Tudela Aranda José
Published: July 2018

En los últimos años el debate sobre la organización territorial del Estado ha recobrado impulso y es hoy uno de los primeros, sino el primero, retos que tiene que afrontar nuestro modelo constitucional. El presente no puede comprenderse si no se recuerda el origen y evolución del modelo constitucional. Estas páginas pretenden recordar las premisas políticas, ideológicas y jurídicas de esa evolución para desde las mismas realizar un ensayo de valoración lo que para el modelo en su conjunto representan los llamados Estatutos de Autonomía de segunda generación. En concreto, se defiende que su aprobación tiene como consecuencia una mutación constitucional del modelo de organización territorial, derivada fundamentalmente de la ideología que preside el Estatuto de Autonomía de Cataluña.
Leyendo a Rodolfo Kusch en y desde Australia. Lecturas y reflexiones
Authors: Hernan Esposto Roberto
Published: July 2018

Leer en Australia el pensamiento situado de un filósofo americanocomo Rodolfo Kusch puede parecer algo insólito. No obstante, el objetivo de esteescrito es el de compartir una serie de reflexiones de nuestras lecturas de Kuschdesde la experiencia de un sujeto que habita «entre mundos» o bien en una «dobleconsciencia». Nuestro camino ha sido motivado y aclarado por una penetranteobservación de Eduardo A. Azcuy cuando afirma que la invitación de Kusch «apensar América y pensar, asimismo, desde América en americano, lejos de constituiruna presunción localista significa una reivindicación del pensar mismo concebidocomo algo genuino y universalizante. Por histórica ironía ese pensar se convierteasí, en esta hora de crisis de la humanidad, en un pensar para el mundo».To read in Australia the situated thought of a Latin American philosopherlike Rodolfo Kusch may seem rather odd. However, the aim of this articleis to share a series of reflections of our readings of Kusch which emerge from theexperience of a subject who lives «between worlds» or dwells in a «double consciousness». Our path has been cleared and also motivated by Eduardo A. Azcuy’sinsight when he asserts that Kusch’s invitation «to think America from Americaand from an Americano standpoint, far from being a parochial presumption, isindeed an assertion that thought can be genuinely conceived of as universal. Dueto the ironical turn of history, this thought has now become, at this juncture in thecrisis of humanity, as a way to think the world».

En este texto se busca problematzar los límites y la potencia de las práctcas discursivas y materiales queer en territorio tropical. El término queer en inglés hace referencia a una teoría que surge en el Norte global y llega a la periferia en forma de fantasma colonial. ¿Es posible discutr sobre práctcas queer en los trópicos? ¿De qué manera se inscribe lo queer en Pindorama? ¿Qué formas y colores adquiere? ¿Qué genealogías-otras pueden ser narradas? Estas práctcas operan sobre realidades locales, generando fsuras en las rígidas estructuras, que organizan la sociedad brasileña, y posibilitando otros cuerpos y sexualidades, que disiden de la norma colonial.
"Hello Millstreet, Sarajevo Calling”: Cuerpo y diáspora a través de la puesta en escena de la canción.
Authors: Panea Fernández José Luis

Las confictvas paradojas que habitan el Festval de la Canción de Eurovisión, escenifcadas an-ualmente desde 1956, generan una suerte de fcción identtaria recientemente trabajada desde óptcas cercanas a los feminismos o la teoría queer en el ámbito anglosajón. Es así que este ensayo se concibe como una apuesta por las polítcas estéticas del aparentemente inocuo o anacrónico, incluso kitsch, Certamen, ya que, “al nombrar-puntuar país-actuación”, ineludible-mente se genera un dilema representacional clave para entender las complejidades culturales de nuestro tempo a través de la televisión. Por tanto, las dos líneas de este artculo serán por un lado visibilizar el creciente interés de los “países marginales” de la “Europa” de los últmos años en el Concurso en un inicio “europeístco”, con sus complejidades derivadas de la raza, el idioma o la diáspora; y por el otro, la presencia del cuerpo abyecto (andrógino, gay, lesbiano, transexual, transgénero, queer…) representando y a la vez deconstruyendo la idea de nación como cuerpo glorioso, si se quiere con Butler, “impermeable”, dejando paso a la multplicidad identtaria que hace de este un espectáculo televisivo en vivo único al combinar música, geo-polítca y competción a escala “pan-europea” pero retransmitdo a nivel mundial.

Alimento Saudável para que/m?/Healthy food: for who/m?
Authors: Azevedo Elaine
Published: July 2018

O objetivo deste estudo conceitual é discutir as novas dimensões - culturais, sociais e ambientais - incorporadas ao conceito contemporâneo de alimentos saudáveis. O conceito de alimento saudável hoje deve atender à proposta desafiadora de ser saudável para todos (e tudo): para aqueles que o produzem, para aqueles que comem, para animais e plantas e para o planeta. Além disso, a experiência de comer com saúde e a liberdade de escolha promove diversas experiências sociais e sentimentos antagônicos como culpa, dúvidas, ansiedade e medo de comer. Diante da multiplicidade de propostas alimentares e de dietas e, consequentemente, da variedade de opções que tais ofertas representam para os consumidores, o padrão de consumo de alimentos que os indivíduos contemporâneos definem como saudável passa a simbolizar não apenas suas próprias identidades, mas também o desejo de ser discernido e realçado, assumindo formas cada vez mais peculiares de distinção social através da alimentação. AbstractThe aim of this conceptual study is to discuss the new dimensions  - cultural, social and environmental - incorporated into the contemporary concept of healthy food. The question “what is a healthy food today” must meet the challenging proposal of being healthy for everyone (and everything): for those who produce it, for those who eat it, for animals and plants, and for the planet. Besides that, the experience of eating healthily today promotes diverse social experiences and antagonistic feelings as freedom of choice, guilt, doubts and fear to eat.  Given the large supply of food and diet guidelines and, consequently, the variety of choices that this supply represents to consumers, the food consumption pattern that individuals define as healthy can be considered to symbolise not only their identities but also what they wish other individuals would think of them, taking on peculiar forms of social distinction via eating.Key words: healthy food; social distinction; food menu; contemporary consumer

Searching for best lower dimensional visualization angles for high dimensional RNA-Seq data
Authors: Zhang Wanli , Di Yanming
Published: July 2018

The accumulation of RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) gene expression data in recent years has resulted in large and complex data sets of high dimensions. Exploratory analysis, including data mining and visualization, reveals hidden patterns and potential outliers in such data, but is often challenged by the high dimensional nature of the data. The scatterplot matrix is a commonly used tool for visualizing multivariate data, and allows us to view multiple bivariate relationships simultaneously. However, the scatterplot matrix becomes less effective for high dimensional data because the number of bivariate displays increases quadratically with data dimensionality. In this study, we introduce a selection criterion for each bivariate scatterplot and design/implement an algorithm that automatically scan and rank all possible scatterplots, with the goal of identifying the plots in which separation between two pre-defined groups is maximized. By applying our method to a multi-experimentArabidopsisRNA-Seq data set, we were able to successfully pinpoint the visualization angles where genes from two biological pathways are the most separated, as well as identify potential outliers.
Stop signals delay synchrony more for finger tapping than vocalization: a dual modality study of rhythmic synchronization in the stop signal task
Authors: Castro-Meneses Leidy J. , Sowman Paul F.
Published: July 2018

Background

A robust feature of sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) performance in finger tapping to an auditory pacing signal is the negative asynchrony of the tap with respect to the pacing signal. The Paillard–Fraisse hypothesis suggests that negative asynchrony is a result of inter-modal integration, in which the brain compares sensory information across two modalities (auditory and tactile). The current study compared the asynchronies of vocalizations and finger tapping in time to an auditory pacing signal. Our first hypothesis was that vocalizations have less negative asynchrony compared to finger tapping due to the requirement for sensory integration within only a single (auditory) modality (intra-modal integration). However, due to the different measurements for vocalizations and finger responses, interpreting the comparison between these two response modalities is problematic. To address this problem, we included stop signals in the synchronization task. The rationale for this manipulation was that stop signals would perturb synchronization more in the inter-modal compared to the intra-modal task. We hypothesized that the inclusion of stop signals induce proactive inhibition, which reduces negative asynchrony. We further hypothesized that any reduction in negative asynchrony occurs to a lesser degree for vocalization than for finger tapping.

Method

A total of 30 participants took part in this study. We compared SMS in a single sensory modality (vocalizations (or auditory) to auditory pacing signal) to a dual sensory modality (fingers (or tactile) to auditory pacing signal). The task was combined with a stop signal task in which stop signals were relevant in some blocks and irrelevant in others. Response-to-pacing signal asynchronies and stop signal reaction times were compared across modalities and across the two types of stop signal blocks.

Results

In the blocks where stopping was irrelevant, we found that vocalization (−61.47 ms) was more synchronous with the auditory pacing signal compared to finger tapping (−128.29 ms). In the blocks where stopping was relevant, stop signals induced proactive inhibition, shifting the response times later. However, proactive inhibition (26.11 ms) was less evident for vocalizations compared to finger tapping (58.06 ms).

Discussion

These results support the interpretation that relatively large negative asynchrony in finger tapping is a consequence of inter-modal integration, whereas smaller asynchrony is associated with intra-modal integration. This study also supports the interpretation that intra-modal integration is more sensitive to synchronization discrepancies compared to inter-modal integration.

Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness of pre‐appointment consult screening to identify patients with autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic disease (AIRD) and to evaluate the revenue implications of routine outpatient care of patients with AIRD compared to that of non‐AIRD patients.

Methods

Using data in the electronic medical records, we retrospectively analyzed all new outpatients who were referred for rheumatology consults during a 9‐month period for a final diagnosis and revenue generation for routine outpatient care over 1 year following the consult review or initial evaluation.

Results

A total of 961 patients were referred to the outpatient rheumatology clinic and underwent pre‐appointment triage. Overall, 673 patients were approved for evaluation of AIRD, and 288 patients were denied rheumatology consultation. Patients were seen an average of 13 days after the consult review. Among patients who were approved for consult, 597 came for evaluation, with 357 diagnosed as having an AIRD and 240 with a non‐AIRD. Among patients who were denied a consult, 128 had 1‐year follow‐up data, with 6 patients eventually diagnosed as having an AIRD (consult triage sensitivity 98%, positive predictive value 60%). The consult triage system allowed more AIRD patients to be seen over a 1‐year period. Revenue data for outpatient care was available for 318 of 357 patients with an AIRD and 192 of 240 non‐AIRD patients and showed that care for patients with an AIRD generates 44 times more revenue compared to care for non‐AIRD patients ($5,877 per AIRD patient versus $134 per non‐AIRD patient; P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Pre‐appointment consult screening is an effective method to identify patients with an AIRD. This approach enables timely access to care for patients with the highest need for evaluation and results in significantly more revenue generation.

In the context of cell–nanoparticle interaction, the question arises how ions influence the adhesion between nanoparticles and cell membranes. Here, the question is addressed how the adhesion energy between supported lipid bilayers and silica particles helps to understand nanoparticle uptake. Supported lipid bilayers on mica and glass substrates serve as simple, well‐defined, and reproducible membrane models. Using atomic force microscopy with modified cantilevers, the interaction energy of both is found to result in a distinctive dependence on the supporting material. The adhesion energy for 1,2‐dioleoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine on mica substrates shows a clear dependence on the NaCl concentration. On glass supports, in contrast, stronger adhesive forces lacking a systematic dependence are found. This is related to experiments where the uptake of silica nanoparticles in free‐standing vesicles is observed. While the qualitative dependence of the interaction strength on the ion concentration is definitely confirmed, the quantitative values of the adhesion energy can hardly be transferred to vesicles. These prospects and challenges also hold for investigations of more complex biological cell membranes in which increasing complexity inevitably also will increase the challenges. Due to the limited transferability of results obtained in situations of different symmetry and geometry, the combination of different methods is suggested.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) that engages porous carbon electrodes constitutes one of the well‐established energy‐efficient desalination methods. However, improvement in desalination performance, including ion removal capacity, ion removal rate, and charge efficiency remains requisite for a wide range of applications. Herein, an ion‐exchange membrane‐free asymmetric CDI is introduced by pairing a metal organic framework (MOF), namely, K0.03Cu[Fe(CN)6]0.65·0.43H2O and porous carbon. The exclusive intercalation of cations into the MOF prevents the reverse adsorption of co‐ions (anions), thus significantly improving ion removal capacity (23.2 mg g−1) and charge efficiency (75.8%). Moreover, by utilizing the advantage of the MOF that diverse mono‐ and divalent cations can be stored in the narrow redox potential range, the asymmetric CDI allows simultaneous capture of mono‐ and divalent cations, thus achieving omnivalent cation removal. Moreover, cations are intercalated in the hydrated forms without a discrete phase transition of the host structure, facilitating rapid desalination by reducing the desolvation energy penalty, which results in a high ion removal rate of 0.24 mg g−1 s−1. This study offers a new design principle in CDI: the integration of a crystal structure with large ionic channels that enable hydrated intercalation of multivalent ions in a fast and exclusive manner.

Published: July 2018

Upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)‐mediated photodynamic therapy has shown great effectiveness in increasing the tissue‐penetration depth of light to combat deep‐seated tumors. However, the inevitable phototoxicity to normal tissues resulting from the lack of tumor selectivity remains as a major challenge. Here, the development of tumor‐pH‐sensitive photodynamic nanoagents (PPNs) comprised of self‐assembled photosensitizers grafted pH‐responsive polymeric ligands and UCNPs is reported. Under neutral pH conditions, photosensitizers aggregated in the PPNs are self‐quenched; however, upon entry into a tumor microenvironment with lower pH, the PPNs not only exhibit enhanced tumor‐cell internalization due to charge reversal but also are further disassembled into well‐dispersed nanoparticles in the endo/lysosomes of tumor cells, enabling the efficient activation of photosensitizers. The results demonstrate the attractive properties of both UCNP‐mediated deep‐tissue penetration of light and high therapeutic selectivity in vitro and in vivo.

Published: July 2018

The use of thin film composites containing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as filler is of widespread interest for nanofiltration issues, since their thin selective layer allows a high permeation flow. The application of this kind of membranes for gas separation should provide a better permeance in comparison with other polymeric membranes and a reduction in the amount of MOF required for their fabrication. Here, the preparation of 50–100 nm thick polyamide flat membranes containing zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) nanoparticles is shown via interfacial polymerization, containing a lower amount of MOF (0.013 g m−2 membrane) as compared to other membranes used for gas separation. The membranes are applied for H2/CO2 separation at high temperatures and pressures, showing a stable performance at 180 °C for at least seven days. Outstanding separation values are 328 GPU of H2 and a H2/CO2 selectivity of 18.1 at 180 °C and 6 bar feed without transmembrane pressure. These membranes, also measurable without sweep gas, are highly suitable for industrial application.

Published: July 2018

The extremely low thermal effusivity of the silica aerogel is exploited to develop a high efficiency thermoacoustic (TA) loudspeaker with solid substrate. The deposition of the electrically conductive, low heat capacity active film on the silica aerogel surface is achieved with both the spray coating of silver nanowires and the sputter coating of gold films. The uniform spray coating of the hydrophobic silica aerogel is enabled by a low pressure plasma treatment, which however impairs its robustness. The spray‐coated samples prove to be fragile when subjected to elevated temperatures and thus not suitable for TA applications. Sputter coating, not requiring any treatment of the aerogel surface, allows the fabrication of working TA loudspeaker samples with a 100 nm gold active film. The electroacoustic response of the gold‐sputtered silica aerogel TA loudspeaker is characterized at different input power levels. The experimental results are compared with those present in literature, showing an improved efficiency with respect to the other TA loudspeakers with solid substrate.

Background

According to epidemiologic studies, fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm, PM2.5) is closely associated with increases in the incidence and severity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, the role of PM2.5 in the pathophysiology of CRS remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of PM2.5 on nasal cilia, tissue remodeling, and mucus hypersecretion in a rabbit model of CRS.

Methods

CRS rabbits were exposed to ambient PM2.5 via a PM2.5 inhalation exposure system. The degree of ciliary damage was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Histopathologic changes were determined using periodic acid‐Schiff (PAS) staining of goblet cells and Masson trichrome (MT) staining for collagen in the nasal mucosa. MUC5AC expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry.

Results

PM2.5 exposure substantially aggravated ciliary disruption in rabbits with CRS. PM2.5 also significantly increased goblet cell hyperplasia and collagen deposition, as reflected by PAS and MT staining. The nasal mucosa of CRS rabbits displayed markedly elevated MUC5AC expression after PM2.5 exposure.

Conclusion

Increases in ciliary disruption, nasal remodeling, and mucus hypersecretion may be the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the PM2.5‐induced aggravation of CRS.

Published: July 2018

Background

A randomized, prospective, double‐blinded clinical study was conducted at a single, tertiary referral center. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of nasal decongestant use in the early postoperative period after septoplasty.

Methods

After septoplasty, patients who met the study inclusion criteria were randomized into 2 groups to receive either physiologic saline irrigation (saline group) or physiologic saline irrigation plus oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.05% nasal spray (saline+oxymetazoline group). Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for bleeding, pain, and nasal crusting; Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores; and rhinomanometric measurements were assessed pre‐ and postoperatively.

Results

The VAS scores for bleeding and nasal crusting of patients in the saline+oxymetazoline group were significantly lower compared with the saline group (p < 0.005). VAS scores for pain were similar between the groups (p > 0.05). Total nasal resistance and NOSE scores of patients in the saline+oxymetazoline group were significantly lower than in saline group after surgery (p < 0.005).

Conclusion

The use of nasal decongestant sprays in the very early postoperative period is beneficial to reduce the postsurgical nasal crusting and bleeding symptoms and also for decreasing nasal resistance in this edematous period.
