Article Abstract
Introduction: Nasal septum deviation (NSD) may lead to chronic hypoxia and increased oxidative stress.The main goal of this study was to investigate the effect of NSD on malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) levels.
Methods: There were 30 patients with NSD and 30 healthy subjects in this study. Malondialdehyde, CAT, SOD, and GSH levels were determined in the control and study groups. The measurements were done preoperatively and postoperatively. Study group patients completed the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively to determine the success of the septoplasty.
Results: Higher CAT, SOD, and GSH levels and lower MDA levels were found in the control group compared with the study group (P < 0.05). After septoplasty, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores improved significantly and CAT, SOD, and GSH levels increased significantly (all, P < 0.05). Malondialdehyde levels did not decrease significantly after surgery (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Nasal obstruction due to nasal septal deviation led to lower antioxidant enzyme levels, and correction of the septum led to an increase in antioxidant levels.

Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis pose significant challenges for treatment. Reasons for the difficulty in finding cures for these conditions include complications in early diagnosis, progressive and irreversible neuronal damage, and the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which hinders the delivery of drugs to the affected areas of the brain. Intranasal (INL) drug administration has increasingly gained popularity among researchers for targeting neurological conditions, because of its ability to bypass the BBB.

This retrospective study aims to evaluate paranasal computed tomography (CT) scans that were previously obtained as part of routine preoperative assessment in patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes, focusing on the prevalence of sinonasal anatomic variations and high septal deviations in cases without nasal axis deformity. The study included 274 patients who underwent rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons. Preoperative CT images of the patients were evaluated in axial slices with a thickness of 0.

Background: Variants of nasal septum and structures of nasal cavity are key in nasal surgeries, with some linked to certain pathologies. This study aims to determine their prevalence in the Nepali population at our hospital.
Method: A retrospective, cross section study was conducted at a private hospital in Nepal with 342 adults (aged >13).

To explore the effect, postoperative mucosal pathological changes and molecular biological changes of reboot operation for type 2 inflammation chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps（CRSwNP） patients, and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of this kind of operation. We collected 29 patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP with type 2 inflammatino response and underwent Reboot surgery from June 2022 to August 2023, and 27 patients who were diagnosed with deviated septum and underwent simple submucosal resection of the septum as the control group. We conducted nasal symptom scoring, endoscopic sinusitis scoring, and CT scanning of the sinuses before and after surgery, as well as HE staining, immunohistochemical staining, and detection of inflammatory factors using Elisa kits at the time of surgery, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
