Article Abstract

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common and intractable disease in otorhinolaryngology, laying a heavy burden on healthcare systems. The worldwide researchers are making efforts to find solutions to this disease. Metabolomics has recently gained more and more traction, and might become a promising tool to unravel the complexity of CRS. This paper provides an overview of current studies on the metabolomics of various CRS subtypes.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, up to May 25, 2023. Search strategies incorporated key terms such as "chronic rhinosinusitis" and "metabolomics" with relevant synonyms and MeSH terms. Titles and abstracts of 86 screened articles were assessed for relevance to CRS and metabolomics. Methodological robustness, data reliability, and relevance were considered for shortlisted articles.

Results: After the refined process, a total of 26 articles were included in this study and sorted out by research themes, methodology and pivotal discoveries. These included studies identified the metabolic pathways and markers related to the pathophysiology in each subtype of CRS.

Conclusions: Metabolomics helps to shed light on the complexity of CRS. The mentioned findings highlight the importance of specific metabolic pathways and markers in understanding the pathophysiology of CRS. Despite that, challenges and future directions in metabolomics research for CRS would be worth being further explored.

Background: Criteria for biologic treatment of uncontrolled severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) differ across international recommendations and prescription of biologics depends on national reimbursement criteria. CHRINOSOR offers an opportunity to analyse biologic indications in the real-world setting according to international recommendations.

Methods: CRSwNP patients who received dupilumab treatment in the ENT clinic of 6 tertiary centres (5 countries) were included.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are common respiratory conditions that significantly impact patient health and contribute to substantial healthcare burdens. While conventional treatments offer symptom relief, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms, side effects, or resistance to standard therapies. This highlights the growing need for novel, non-invasive, and sustainable therapeutic strategies to manage chronic airway inflammation.

Background And Purpose: Biologics are crucial for severe asthma treatment, but their high costs pose challenges. Omalizumab (OML) is dosed on the basis of patient-specific factors. The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical characteristics of severe asthmatics who maintain long-term control on omalizumab including healthcare cost considerations.

Microenvironment-Driven Mast Cell Plasticity: Insights From Cytokine-Activated Gene Signatures in Skin and Respiratory Diseases.

Mast cells (MCs) rapidly adapt to the microenvironment due to the plethora of cytokine receptors expressed. Understanding microenvironment-primed immune responses is essential to elucidate the phenotypic/functional changes MCs undergo, and thus understand their contribution to diseases and predict the most effective therapeutic strategies. We exposed primary human MCs to cytokines mimicking a T1/pro-inflammatory (IFNγ), T2/allergic (IL-4 + IL-13), alarmin-rich (IL-33) and pro-fibrotic/pro-tolerogenic (TGFβ) microenvironment.

Background: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the middle ear; it is frequently associated with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Although biologics have been used to treat EOM, their efficacy based on clinical characteristics remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of biologics and analyzed the clinical factors that influenced outcomes.
