Authors: Rachmawaty Noor , Wello M. Basri , Akil Mansur , Dollah Syarifuddin
Published: April 2018

Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is believed as an additional type to the existing forms of intelligence (IQ, EQ). It also explains why some individuals are more effective than others in culturally diverse situations. Studies have documented how successful language learners seem to use wider variety of language learning strategies than unsuccessful learners. Having these two important aspects in relation to the successfulness of acquiring foreign language thus this study is intended to explore the relationship of Cultural Intelligence, Language Learning Strategy and English Language proficiency. The study involved 87 second-year students of English Department, Mulawarman University. Data were gathered using The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and TOEFL. Descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS 20 were used in the process of data analysis. The result reveals that CQ level of the students is medium (M=51.984) with metacognitive and motivational as dominant factors for both male and female students. The data shows that there is a significant relationship between CQ and LLS (F= 13.082, p= 0.001). This result confirms the previous studies that culture influences the frequency and type of LLS use. As for strategy categories, metacognitive is the most frequently used strategy (M=3.704) and affective is the least frequently used (M=3.080). The students’ proficiency level is ranging from elementary (25.29%) to advanced (8.05%). The dominant level is low intermediate. The data recorded that there is no correlation among cultural intelligence, language learning strategies and English language proficiency (F=1.208, p= 0.304).
On the history of the indefinite pronoun altcineva ‘someone else’. Grammatical observations
Authors: Chircu Adrian
Published: April 2018

Within the present study, we aim to look at the way in which the indefinite pronoun altcineva ‘someone else’ has come to being in Romanian. Its linguistic bearings are mainly discussed from a diachronic perspective, that can help us understand the evolutionary stages of this compound pronoun, starting from a process of syntagmatization on the basis of the Latin model, and ending in a lexicalization on Romanian grounds. In order to perform an analysis on the basis of objectivity and actuality, we have prioritized the investigative leads in recent grammars of the Romanian language, be they diachronic (Frâncu, 2009, Stan, 2013; SOR) or synchronic (GALR; GBLR; RGR; GR).

For the accomplishment of this goal, we have made use of a representative sample of old writings (mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries), that illustrate the dynamics of the old language, as well as the mutations that occurred over time. Our research has led to interesting and novel à la fois results pertaining to the structural peculiarities, the semantic compatibility and the syntagmatic association or the syntactic implications of the pronoun in question.
Din istoricul pronumelui nehotărît altcineva. Contribuții gramaticale
Authors: Chircu Adrian
Published: April 2018

În prezentul studiu, ne propunem să urmărim modul în care s-a constituit pronumele nehotărît altcineva în limba română. Faptele de ordin lingvistic sînt discutate, în mare măsură, în perspectivă diacronică, cea care ne poate ajuta să înțelegem care au fost etapele evolutive ale acestui pronume compus, pornindu-se de la o sintagmatizare după model latinesc și ajungîndu-se la o lexicalizare pe teren românesc. Pentru o analiză obiectivă și actuală, am prioritizat direcțiile investigative din recentele gramatici ale limbii române fie ele diacronice (Frâncu, 2009, Stan, 2013; SOR) ori sincronice (GALR; GBLR; RGR; GR).

În sprijinul acestui demers, am făcut apel la un număr reprezentativ de scrieri vechi (în principal din veacurile al XVI-lea și al XVII-lea), care ilustrează dinamica limbii de odinioară, ca, de altfel, și mutațiile care au survenit pe parcurs. Cercetarea noastră a dus la rezultate interesante și inedite à la fois, referitoare la particularitățile structurale, la compatibilitatea semantică, la asocierea sintagmatică ori la implicațiile sintactice ale pronumelui în chestiune.
The formal adaptation of toponyms in Romanian translations from German between 1780 and 1830
Authors: Gînsac Ana-Maria , Ungureanu Mădălina
Published: April 2018

Although the translation of foreign proper names into Romanian before its modern stage is insufficiently explored, it is known that the process is characterized (as the whole Romanian writing of the time) by the lack of generally valid norms. The process was influenced by various factors, including: the existence of different alphabets, orthographic and phonetic systems; the influence of the source-text vs. the existence of traditional pronunciation and writing patterns; the translation of a proper name from various languages (French, German, Italian, etc.); the diversity of proper names; the translator’s personality (linguistic knowledge, cultural formation). Starting from the translation strategies adopted by translators, our aim is to analyse the way in which the toponyms from three historical texts translated into Romanian from German in pre-modern stage (1780–1830) were adapted to the formal system of Romanian.
They made “a mistake” in Job, 4, 11; why not also in Prov, 30, 30? Implicitly, about limits in philology and the necessity of accepting them
Authors: Chirilă Adina
Published: April 2018

The existence of the Greek term μυρμηκολέων in Job, 4, 11, in the biblical text of Orthodox tradition, on the steadfast line of the Septuagint, has seemed—time and again—bizarre, and has intrigued enough as to be approached as a textological problem in several articles and studies, some of them extended and well documented, during the last hundred years; it seems that we face an ordinary translation mistake: the Hellenised Hebrew translator of the Septuagint has missed the equivalent of the Heb. ַׁל ֭י ִש (layish [lah’-yish]) ‘a lion’ from the original story of Job, and has produced, consequently, what appears to be a hapax legomenon in the sacred text, an odd and obscure term. Reopening the case, the present study argues in favour of a different reading of the word μυρμηκολέων, which precludes the translator’s presumed mistake. Moreover, it reminds the researcher of the necessity to question, in a lucid manner, the arguments that seem to support a certain conclusion.
Parcursul diacronic al formelor de viitor din limba franceză din prisma teoriei regramatizării
Authors: Popescu Cecilia-Mihaela
Published: April 2018

Derivat dintr-un amplu studiu postdoctoral, articolul de față își propune să prezinte evoluția formelor de viitor din limba franceză din prisma acțiunii procesului de regramatizare, înțeles ca reorganizare a sistemului gramatical al unei limbi (v. Andersen, 2006; Lindschouw, 2011). În linii foarte generale, acest proces poate fi descris astfel: structura canonică de viitor, care reprezintă inițial rezultatul unui proces anterior de gramaticalizare (în sensul de trecere de la lexical la gramatical), ajunge cu timpul să aibă un comportament morfosintactic și semantic polifuncțional, actualizînd mai mult de o valoare gramaticală. O astfel de situație va antrena selectarea unor noi constituenți în cadrul paradigmei canonice de viitor și va determina în mod inevitabil: (i) concurența dintre forma inițială și cele nou create; (ii) desemantizarea și specializarea pe un anumit segment informațional a formei canonice, respectiv (iii) gramaticalizarea (totală sau parțială) formelor perifrastice concurente. Vom vedea astfel că forma sintetică de viitor din limba franceză a suferit o diminuare semantico-funcțională în zona actualizării [prospectivului] temporal, această situație datorîndu-se în mare măsură „intervenției” și gramaticalizării pe aceeași zonă conceptuală a perifrazei itive aller + infinitiv, care, în limba actuală vorbită, a devenit principala formă de exprimare a [viitorului]. Un grad și mai mare de diminuare a numărului de ocurențe se observă și în zona utilizărilor modale pure, în limba vorbită, locutorii nativi manifestînd preferința tot pentru o tunură perifrastică, și anume devoirepistemic + infinitiv.

Published: April 2018

In the article presented the results of tenzometric studies of the effect of C60FAS (concentration 0.15 mg / ml) at a dose of 1 mg / kg ON the speed-power parameters of the tetanic reduction of muscle soleus under conditions of ischemia in chronic alcoholic rats during 1-hour and 2-hour. The synergistic effect of ischemic injury and alcoholic intoxication, as compared to the native muscle, is manifested in reducing the reduction power to 26,25 ± 3,23 and 20,2 ± 2,45 (p≤0,01), and an increase in the time to achieve it the maximum values for 1.33 ± 0.12s and 1.45 ± 0.15s (p≤0.01) respectively. It is shown that if the intraperitoneal administration of the VRC60 solution is given, these indices are likely to increase.
Embryonic cardiospecific knockout of α-E-catenin gene leads to alteration of energy metabolism in adult heart
Authors: Balatskyy V. , Macewicz L. , Piven O.
Published: April 2018

Previously we have shown that the α-E-catenin knockout in the embryonic heart leads to hypertrophy in adult and activation of canonical Wntsignaling. Heart hypertrophy is also accompanied by metabolic disorders, but role of the α-E-catenin in these processes is not known. Aim of our work is to study the effect of α-E-catenin deletion on the lipid metabolism in the heart. Methods. In our experiment we have used α-Е-catenin conditional knockout and αMHC-Cre transgenic mice. We have utilized histological (Oil Red O staining) and molecular biological (Western blot) methods. Results. α-Е-catenin deletion leads to accumulation of lipid droplets in myocardium, and to violation of expression and phosphorylation of key regulators of lipid metabolism (Ampk, Pparα, Acc, Hsl). Conclusions. Ous results suggest that α-Е-catenin deletion leads to inhibition of lipid metabolism in the heart.

Authors: Levrini Luca , Salone Giuseppa Sara , Ramirez-Yanez German O
Published: April 2018

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the Myobrace/MyOSA myofunctional appliance for the treatment of mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children, by means of the Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI). Study design: Nine children with a diagnosis of mild to moderate OSA were included in the study. The subjects wore the Myobrace/MyOSA myofunctional appliance for a period of 90 days. The initial AHI, determined by means of a sleep test, was used as baseline (To), and a second AHI, computed at the end of the experimental period, was used as final data (T1). The differences between the AHIs at To and T1 were calculated (diff AHI) and used for statistical purposes. The level of Oxygen Saturation (SaO2) was also recorded before and after treatment, and their differences calculated as diff SaO2. Statistical analysis was performed with a paired-t- test and statistical significance was established at 95 per cent level of confidence. Results: A statistical significant reduction in the AHI of the studied subjects was computed at the end of the experimental period (p = 0.0425). Although there was an improvement in the SaO2, it did not reach a statistically significant difference. Conclusions: The present results suggest that the Myobrace/MyOSA myofunctional appliance can be an alternative to treat mild to moderate OSA in children. However further studies are necessary to determine the stability of the results after treatment.

Published: April 2018

Objective: To investigate caries prevalence and examine its relationship with socioeconomic status and oral health behavior of Vietnamese kindergarten children. Study design: The study was carried out on 1,028 children aged 2–5 years in six kindergartens in Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. Information about socioeconomics and oral health behaviors was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, and oral health status by clinical dental examination. Results: Clinical dental examination found that overall caries prevalence and mean dmft were 89.1% and 9.32. Caries prevalence and mean dmft increased greatly from two years to three years old, and gradually developed from three years to five years old. A logistic regression revealed that caries had an inverse relationship with mothers' educational level and a positive relationship with the habit of retaining food in the mouth for a long time in two-year-old children. Prolonged breastfeeding, more frequent sweets consumption, no thumb sucking habit, and higher modified debris index score were the risk factors for caries among three-to-five-year-old children. Conclusions: This study indicated a high prevalence of caries and related risk factors such as low mother's educational level and inappropriate oral health behavior among kindergarten children in Vietnam.

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Ham's F-10 in maintaining the viability and reproducibility of PDL cells on avulsed teeth. Study design: Sixty mature, healthy extracted premolars were used. The experimental media used were Ham's F-10, Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), skim milk, and tap water (n = 15 specimens each). Cell viability was tested after 1, 3, 6, and 24 h storage in medium. Cell reproducibility was assessed by methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium (MTT) assay after1, 3, and 6 h storage in Ham's F-10, HBSS, and tap water. Results: The viability of PDL cells stored in Ham's F-10 and HBSS was significantly greater than that of samples stored in milk and tap water at all-time points (P<0.001). A significant difference in cell viability between samples stored in Ham's F-10 and HBSS (favoring the former) was observed only at 6h (P=0.04). MTT assay results were significantly better for samples stored in Ham's F-10 and HBSS than for those stored in tap water (P<0.001), with a significant difference between Ham's F-10 and HBSS observed only at 3h (P<0.001).

Conclusions: Ham's F-10 is capable of preserving PDL cells viable and reproducible better than milk and tap water and similar to HBSS.

Introduction. Regular physical activity impacts on growth, development and health of children and adolescents. This study has been conducted with the aim of evaluating the physical characteristics of adolescents, who play football using the regional and WHO normative data.Methods. Сomplete sample of 64 adolescents borned in 2002-2005 from the football sport school were assessed. Main study parameters: height, body mass, BMI, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass fat free mass and water. Comparison analysis was performed using the regional and WHO normative data. Results. Participants of the present study was higher and heavier, but had a low level of body fat compared with the regional normative data for adolescents of this age. Depending on the method used, adolescents were defined to different centile groups for height, weight, BMI and fat mass. The agreement between regional and WHO data for height was poor with, a kappa coefficient of 0.17 for 12 years group, for 13 years - 0.56, for 14 years - 0.75, for 15 years and older - 0.90-100% of participants were overweight or BMI above normal range according to the regional or WHO normative data. At the same time, 30% of 13-year-olds, 50% of 14-year-olds and 100% of 15-year-olds and older had a deficit of fat mass according to the regional normative data. Using the normative data of fat mass for young athletes, a deficit of fat mass was discovered in 5% of 12-year-olds, in 47% of 13-year-olds and in 10% of 15-year-olds and older.Conclusion. Playing football contribute to changing the proportions of the body, reducing fat and increasing muscle mass in the body of adolescents. Therefore, to assess the physical development of adolescents involved in sports, it is necessary to evaluate not only height, weight and BMI, but also fat and muscle mass. Using of general population normal ranges for assessing the physical development of this group of adolescents can lead to hypo- and overdiagnosis of overweigth and malnutrition.

Falls in elderly and senile patients increase as the population ages. The highest frequency is observed in “fragile” patients with several geriatric syndromes and comorbid pathology.Today we have a serious problem remains the lack of awareness of doctors of all specialties about increasing the risk of osteoporotic fractures, femoral neck fractures and total mortality when taking 3 or more drugs in this category of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a geriatric physician to correct therapy and reduce the risk of side effects of polypragmasy. (For citation: Karaeva EV.

Os finos de pedreira que resultam da britagem de rochas graníticas, geralmente, são descartados e ficam estocados, ocupando áreas desnecessárias em pedreiras e expostas ao vento, chuva. Diante dessa situação, observa-se um desperdício da matéria-prima e visando a preservação ambiental se percebe a alternativa de empregar o pó de brita como agregado artificial em argamassa de revestimento. Para melhor entendimento dessa possibilidade, o artigo referenciou ao estudo comparativo da resistência à compressão e tração entre a argamassa convencional e a argamassa com adição de 20% de pó de brita granítica, confeccionados de acordo com os requisitos solicitados pela NBR 13281. Os dados foram obtidos pela ruptura de 12 corpos de prova cilíndricos e 12 corpos de prova prismáticos, nas idades de 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias, para ambos os tipos de argamassas, que foram dimensionadas com a resistência de projeto de 20 MPa, com o traço em volume para argamassa convencional de 1: 3,2: 0,4 (cimento, areia e cal hidratada) e para argamassa com adição de pó de brita de 1: 2,56: 0,64: 0,4 (cimento, areia, pó de brita e cal). Os resultados comprovaram que a resistência da argamassa com adição de pó de brita granítica se demostrou mais elevada. Palavras-chave: Finos de Pedreira. Granulometria. Densidade da Massa Fresca.AbstractQuarry fines resulting from the crushing of granitic rocks are usually discarded, stored in unnecessary quarry areas and exposed to wind, rain. Faced with this situation, a waste of the raw material is observed and environmental preservation is perceived as the alternative to use the crushed stone powder as an artificial aggregate in coating mortar. For a better understanding of this possibility, the article referred to the comparative study of the compressive strength and tensile strength between the conventional mortar and the mortar with the addition of 20% granite gravel powder, made according to the requirements of NBR 13281. The data were obtained by the rupture of 12 cylindrical specimens and 12 prismatic specimens, at the ages of 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, for both types of mortars, which were dimensioned with a design strength of 20 MPa, (Cement, sand and lime hydrate) and for mortar with addition of crushed stone powder of 1: 2.56: 0.64: 0.4 ( Cement, sand, gravel and lime powder). The results showed that the strength of the mortar with the addition of granite gravel powder was higher.Keywords: Quarry Fines. Grain Size. Fresh Mass Density.
La visión ontológica de la mujer y el hombre en el anarquismo español de los años treinta: identidad y género a debate
Authors: Lora Medina Alejandro
Published: April 2018

Este artículo pretende analizar la visión que el anarquismo español desarrolló hacia el hombre y la mujer, tanto como género como especie en la década de 1930, época de profundos cambios políticos y sociales en España. Dicha configuración ideal tiene como antecedentes los debates desarrollados desde finales del siglo XIX que están en la base de la propia conformación del anarquismo como ideología obrerista de carácter revolucionaria. Dicho estudio forma parte de un análisis cuantitativo que muestra la defensa de una nueva ética que debía llevar a constituir un individuo totalmente emancipado de la moral tradicional. Por último, se hace énfasis en un aspecto considerado relevante como fue el peso que la tradición ejerció sobre el propio pensamiento libertario, impidiendo una extensión completa de los postulados ácratas, incluso en la propia definición de la mujer y el hombre.
Hospitales urbanos en La Rioja en los siglos XVI y XVII. Estructuras administrativas y financiación
Authors: Martínez Díez Alfredo
Published: April 2018

A raíz de la inclusión de elementos seculares en las estructuras administrativas de las instituciones de beneficencia y los primeros pasos en la unificación y racionalización de los establecimientos asistenciales por mandato real a finales del siglo XV, se produce un punto de inflexión en la evolución del sistema hospitalario a nivel nacional que en el caso de La Rioja supone una rápida municipalización de la asistencia hospitalaria centrada en los núcleos urbanos gracias a la existencia previa de un elevado número de hospitales en relación al Camino de Santiago y las características político-económicas de la región.
Perdón, inocencia y castigo. Nietzsche y el derecho penal
Authors: Medrano Ezquerro Juan Manuel
Published: April 2018

Nietzsche criticó agudamente el sistema judicial de su época. Su denuncia acerca de los procedimientos penales y sus justificaciones es implacable. Mas, para comprender su postura es necesario retomar dos asuntos capitales de su filosofía: su concepción del «perdón» y la defensa de la «inocencia del ser». A partir de ahí, el rastreo genealógico de la penalidad, inseparable de la construcción moral de las sociedades, explica el advenimiento de las modernas formas de castigo.

Authors: Eziyi Josephine A. E. , Oninla Olumayowa A. , Salawu Temitope O.
Published: April 2018

Background: Prevalence of ear infections in primary school children in Nigeria is scarcely documented and available studies are mostly hospital based. The aim of this Community based study is to define the point prevalence of ear infections among school children.

Methods: Using a multi- staged stratified sampling technique, 630 pupils aged 6-12years, attending Government owed primary schools in two local government areas in the South Western Nigeria were recruited for the application of a structured questionnaire, single examination and classification using their socioeconomic index.  

Results: Three hundred and seven (48.7%) were females and three hundred and twenty three (51.3%) were males. Chronic otitis media had the highest prevalence of 7.9%, followed by acute otitis media and otitis externa (3.2%) while otomycosis (1.6%) had the lowest. Majority of the infections were unilateral and more prevalent in the males. It was observed that all the ear infections were more prevalent in pupils from the low socioeconomic class although not statistically significant.

Conclusions: These results shows that ear infections is still common in our primary schools and that socioeconomic status and sex of the pupils did not significantly affect the occurrence of these ear infections. There is a need to incorporate health education programme in schools to prevent ear infections and the attendant disabilities.

Authors: Suri Neeraj , B. M. Bhavya
Published: April 2018

Background: The objective of the study was to evaluate the criteria for diagnosing allergic fungal rhinosinusitis and to maintain permanent drainage and ventilation, while preserving the integrity of the mucosa.

Methods: This is a prospective study of 50 patients with allergic fungal sinusitis with or without polyposis all of whom were treated with endoscopic debridement. Mucous sample collection, nasal secretion culture, surgical specimen handling, and histological evaluation of surgical specimens are described. All patients treated with endoscopic sinus surgery, debridement, post-operative use of steroids and antifungal therapy.  

Results: Fungal mucin was found in all 50 cases, histology and fungal cultures confirmed the diagnosis. Out of 50 patients, 29 were females and 21 were males, with a mean age of 32 years. The most common symptom was nasal discharge 41 (82%) cases, nasal obstruction in 38 (76%) cases, headache and facial pain in 32 (72%) cases, 7 (14%) patients had bronchial asthma. Symptoms of nasal obstruction and nasal discharge were improved in 46 (92%) cases. All preoperative versus postoperative changes in AFRS associated complaints reached statistical significance of p value <0.001 except in patients with asthma.

Conclusions: Comprehensive management with endoscopic sinus surgery, oral steroids and antifungals reduces the recurrence or need for revision surgery. Long term follow up is very important.

Authors: Prajapati Bela J. , Patel Nikhil D. , Rai Shreya
Published: April 2018

Background: Microscopes have ruled ear surgeries for years. The invention of endoscope and its use in otorhinolaryngology have become an important alternative for use. Importance of endoscope lies in giving the operating surgeon a wider exposure of the EAC and access in various hidden areas without need of a post auricular incision. Aim of this study is to analyze the outcome of endoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of ENT, B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, from July 2015 to July 2017. Thirty patients with tympanic membrane perforation (tubotympanic type) were included in study. Patients were followed up for a mean duration of 12 months and the outcome was analyzed.  

Results: The patients included in the study ranged in the age group of 15-55 years. Out of them 16 were males and 14 were females. All of them underwent endoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty. 2 out of 30 patients had graft failure while others had good graft uptake. Overall success rate was 93.3%.

Conclusions: Transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasty is highly successful, safe and less traumatic and thus can be used for ear surgeries.

Published: April 2018

Background: Unusually higher number of patients was observed to seek medical attention for keloids over the pinna in a geographical area in Central Karnataka. This study was conducted to find the demographic profile of such patients.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in two tertiary care centres, in which medical case files of all patients with documented diagnosis of keloid over the pinna between January 2013 to October 2017, were reviewed for their demographic profile and clinical presentation.  

Results: A total of 482 patients had presented with keloids of pinna in the duration studied. Of these 474 were females and 8 were males, with a mean age of 29 years. The most common age group of patients (37.3%) was 21 to 30 years followed by 31 to 40 years (25.7%). The most common antecedent event to keloid formation was piercing of the helix of the pinna. The commonest location of keloid formation in the pinna was found to be helix of the pinna (92.7%) The mean time interval between the antecedent event and keloid formation was 14 months.

Conclusions: Higher number of patients seeks medical attention for keloid over the pinna in geographical region of central Karnataka. Most of them had undergone ear piercing and had presented in their early adulthood. Ear piercing over the helix of pinna was more commonly associated with keloid formation. Further studies are intended to be done on the etiological factors for higher incidence of keloids and feasible preventive measures.

Background: Spreader graft being one of the best method for volumetric expansion of internal nasal angle to address the nasal valve pathologies, popularised by Sheen.

Methods: To evaluate its functional effect on relieving nasal obstruction secondary to nasal valve pathologies, our study was conducted in 40 patients (35 male and 5 female; mean age 28 years) having both external nasal deformity and nasal obstruction. NOSE scale was used to assess functional improvement.  

Results: Out of total 40 patients (22 patients with saddle nose deformity, 10 crooked nose and 8 nasal dorsum deformity), 35 patients (87.5%) were fully satisfied with functional outcome as assessed by NOSE score.

Conclusions: Spreader graft is good way to handle nasal obstruction secondary to narrow internal nasal angle. 
A comparative study of effect of deviated nasal septum on nasal mucociliary clearance and to comprehend the effect of septal and turbinate surgeries on restoring the mucociliary clearance
Authors: B. C. Chandra Smitha , Bylappa Kiran
Published: April 2018

Background: One of the important functions of nose is mucociliary transport by its epithelium. Any structural abnormalities of nose like deviated nasal septum, turbinate hypertrophy and polyps can easily damage the mucociliary clearance. This can lead to increased inflammation leading to osteomeatal complex obstruction and sinusitis. The purpose of the study is to determine the nasal mucociliary clearance time (NMC) in patients with deviated nasal septum. And to compare the changes in nasal mucociliary clearance time before and after septoplasty and septoplasty with turbinectomy.

Methods: Nasal mucociliary clearance time was measured preoperatively in patients with deviated nasal septum on concave and convex side. Post operatively it was again recorded after septoplasty in group A and septoplasty with turbinectomy in group B. These values were compared with the control group C.  

Results: Postoperatively group A patients NMC time was 11.11±2.76 on convex side, 14.01±2.39 on concave side. In group B patients NMC time was 11.18±1.91 on convex side and 12.62±1.42 on concave side.

Conclusions: Nasal septal deviation and hypertrophied inferior turbinates can cause considerable impairment of nasal mucociliary clearance. Septoplasty combined with partial inferior turbinectomy of compensatory hypertrophied inferior turbinate on concave side preserves the normal NMC mechanism on both the sides of nasal cavity than just septoplasty.
