Abstract
- Antrochoanal polyp (ACP) is a benign soft tissue lesion arising from the inner wall of the maxillary sinus that extends into the nasal cavity and choana. Although it was first explained by Killian in 1906, the underlying pathogenesis has not been yet fully understood. Neurotrophins have been demonstrated to have a possible role in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis, idiopathic rhinitis and nasal polyps. To date any study has not investigated the function of neuronal inflammation and neurotrophins in the development of ACP. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible effect of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in ACP pathogenesis.Twenty adult patients with ACP who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery in our department were included in the study group. The control group included 15 patients with concha bullosa of middle concha who underwent lateral excisional surgery. Nasal tissue NT-3 staining scores were evaluated using immunohistochemical methods. Blood NT-3 levels of both groups were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).There were no statistically significant differences between these two groups regarding tissue NT-3 staining scores (p=0.843) and blood NT-3 levels (p=0.463). In addition, no statistically significant correlation has been observed between tissue NT-3 staining scores and blood NT-3 levels in both ACP (p=0.578) and control (p=0.359) group patients.NT-3-related neuronal inflammation does not seem to have any role in ACP pathogenesis.Antrokoanal polip (AP), maksiller sinüs iç duvarından kaynaklanan, nazal kavite ve koanaya uzanan benign yumuşak doku lezyonudur. İlk kez 1906’da Killian tarafından açıklanmasına rağmen, altta yatan patogenezi halen tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Nörotropinlerin alerjik rinit, idiyopatik rinit ve nazal polip patogenezinde rolü olabileceği gösterilmiştir. Bugüne kadar nöronal inflamasyon ve nörotropinlerin AP oluşumundaki fonksiyonunu araştıran çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Nörotropin 3 (NT-3)’ün AP patogenezinde olası etkisini araştırmaktır.Çalışmaya kliniğimizde endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi yapılan AP’li 20 erişkin hasta alınmıştır. Kontrol grubu, lateral eksizyon yapılan 15 orta konka büllozalı hastayı içermektedir. Nazal dokuda NT-3 boyanma skorları immünohistokimya ile değerlendirilmiştir. Her iki grubun kan NT-3 seviyeleri Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ile değerlendirilmiştir.İki grup arasında doku NT-3 boyanma skorları (p=0,843) ve kan NT-3 seviyeleri (p=0,463) bakımından anlamlı fark yoktur. Ek olarak doku NT-3 boyanma skorları ile kan NT-3 seviyeleri arasında hem AP (p=0,578) hem de kontrol (p=0,359) grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon yoktu.NT-3 bağımlı nöronal enflamasyonun, AP patogenezinde rol oynamadığı düşünülmüştür.
