    Scientific journal, Background: This study aims to digitalize surgical maneuvers in ESS using a motion capture system under standardized conditionsprovided by 3D printed-sinus models. Methodology: Forty-seven otolaryngologists performed ESS on 3D printed modelsmanufactured from computed tomography (CT) images of actual patients. Participants were classified to 3 groups according tothe objective structured technical skills assessment score. All surgical maneuverers performed during ESS were captured by amotion capture system. The path length, velocity, acceleration, and jerk were calculated for each surgical instrument and comparedamong the groups. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was utilized to identify which metrics reflected surgical skill level. Inaddition, ten registrars repeated the surgical dissection. Their motion metrics were also compared between first training and therepeated training and then subjected to the PCA. Results: Several metrics such as the angular acceleration and jerk of the cuttingforceps were identified by PCA as possible indicators distinguishing the different skill levels for the ESS maneuvers. PCA analysis inthe repetitive training also found the angular metrics of the upturned-cutting forceps correlating to their skill improvement.Conclusions: Combined with the validated 3D-printed sinus models, the motion capture system provided the objective evaluationof the surgical performances of ESS.

    English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: No previous studies have evaluated the levels of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) remnants or the importance of deoxyribonuclease (DNase) I activity based on the disease activity of otitis media with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (OMAAV). The aim of this study was to explore the formation of NETs in the middle ear of patients with OMAAV during the onset and remission phases of the disease, with a particular focus on the relationships between the quantifiable levels of NET remnants and DNase I activity. METHODS: OMAAV patients were eligible for inclusion. Patients with otitis media with effusion (OME) were examined as controls. The levels of cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), citrullinated-histone H3 (cit-H3)-DNA complex, and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-DNA complex were quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. DNase I activity was measured using a fluorometric method. RESULTS: The quantifiable levels of cell-free DNA, cit-H3-DNA complex, and MPO-DNA complex in the middle ear lavage of patients with OMAAV at onset were significantly higher than those in patients with OMAAV at remission and in patients with OME. DNase I activity in the patients with OMAAV at onset was significantly lower than those in patients with OMAAV at remission and OME and was negatively correlated with the level of MPO-DNA complex. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that NET remnants and DNase I activity may be potentially useful biomarkers for the diagnosis and disease activity of OMAAV.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare malignant tumor arising from the olfactory neuroepithelium. The standard of care for ONB is surgical resection; however, detailed treatment protocols vary by institution. Our treatment protocol consists of endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) for endoscopically resectable cases and induction chemotherapy followed by craniotomy combined with ESBS for locally advanced cases, with postoperative radiotherapy performed for all cases. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is performed in unresectable cases. In this study, we evaluate our treatment protocol and outcomes for ONB. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients with ONB was conducted. Outcomes included survival outcomes and perioperative data. RESULTS: Fifteen patients (53.6%) underwent ESBS, 12 (42.9%) underwent craniotomy combined with ESBS, and 1 (3.6%) received CRT. The 5- and 10-year overall survival rates for all patients were 92.9% and 82.5%, respectively, with a median follow-up period of 81 months. The 5- and 10-year disease-free survival rates were 77.3% and 70.3%, respectively, and the 5- and 10-year local control rates were 88.2% and 80.2%, respectively. Patients undergoing ESBS demonstrated a significantly shorter operating time, period from operation to ambulation, hospitalization period, and less blood loss than those undergoing craniotomy combined with ESBS. CONCLUSION: Our treatment protocol was found to afford favorable outcomes. Patients who underwent endoscopic resection showed lower complication rates and better perioperative data than those who underwent craniotomy combined with ESBS. With appropriate case selection, ESBS is considered a useful approach for ONB.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Tripartite motif-containing 27 (TRIM27) has been implicated in the progression of various cancers. However, the role of TRIM27 in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) remains poorly understood. MATERIALS & METHODS: We retrospectively examined 28 patients with SNMM treated with between 2003 and 2021. We undertook immunohistochemical analysis of TRIM27, Ki-67, and p-Akt1 expression in SNMM tissues. We also investigated the relationship between TRIM27 expression and clinical characteristics, prognosis, Ki-67 as a tumor growth potential marker, and p-Akt1 as one of the prognostic factors in mucosal melanoma. RESULTS: TRIM27 expression was significantly higher in T4 disease than in T3 disease and was higher in stage IV than in stage III. Patients with high-TRIM27 SNMM had a significantly poorer prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival.There was also a significantly higher rate of distant metastasis. Univariate analysis for OS revealed that TRIM27 and T classification were significant poor prognostic factors. In addition, the Ki-67 positive score and the p-Akt1 total staining score were significantly higher in the high-TRIM27 group than in the low-TRIM27 group. CONCLUSIONS: High TRIM27 expression in SNMM was associated with advanced T classification, poor prognosis and distant metastasis. We suggest that TRIM27 has potential as a novel biomarker for prognosis in SNMM.

    English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: Surgeons' mental workload during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has not been fully evaluated. The assessment was challenging due to the great diversity of each patient's anatomy and the consequence variety of surgical difficulties. In this study, we examined the mental workload of surgeons with various surgical skill levels during ESS under the standardized condition provided by novel-designed 3D sinus models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-seven participants performed a high-fidelity ESS simulation with 3D-printed sinus models. Surgeons' mental workload was assessed with the national aeronautics and space administration-task load index (NASA-TLX). Associations between the total and subscales score of NASA-TLX and surgical skill index, including the board certification status, the number of experienced ESS cases, and the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS), were analyzed. In addition, 10 registrars repeated the simulation surgery, and their NASA-TLX score was compared before and after the repetitive training. RESULTS: The total NASA-TLX score was significantly associated with OSATS score (p = 0.0001). Primary component analysis classified the surgeons' mental burden into three different categories: (1) the skill-level-dependent factors (temporal demand, effort, and performance), (2) the skill-level-independent factors (mental and physical demand), and (3) frustration. After the repetitive training, the skill-level-dependent factors were alleviated (temporal demand; z = -2.3664, p = 0.0091, effort; z = -2.1704, p = 0.0346, and performance; z = -2.5992, p = 0.0017), the independent factors were increased (mental demand; z = -2.5992, p = 0.0023 and physical demand; z = -2.2509, p = 0.0213), and frustration did not change (p = 0.3625). CONCLUSION: Some of the mental workload during ESS is associated with surgical skill level and alleviated with repetitive training. However, other aspects remain a burden or could worsen even when surgeons have gained surgical experience. Routine assessment of registrars' mental burdens would be necessary during surgical training to sustain their mental health.

    English, Scientific journal, Background: The purpose of this study was to find a utility of a newly developed 3D-printed sinus model and to evaluate the educational benefit of simulation training with the models for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Material and methods: Forty-seven otolaryngologists were categorized as experts (board-certified physicians with ≥200 experiences of FESS, n = 9), intermediates (board-certified physicians with <200 experiences of FESS, n = 19), and novices (registrars, n = 19). They performed FESS simulation training on 3D-printed models manufactured from DICOM images of computed tomography (CT) scan of real patients. Their surgical performance was assessed with the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score and dissection quality evaluated radiologically with a postdissection CT scan. First we evaluated the face, content, and constructive values. Second we evaluated the educational benefit of the training. Ten novices underwent training (training group) and their outcomes were compared to the remaining novices without training (control group). The training group performed cadaveric FESS surgeries before and after the repetitive training. Results: The feedback from experts revealed high face and content value of the 3D-printed models. Experts, intermediates, and novices demonstrated statistical differences in their OSATS scores (74.7 ± 3.6, 58.3 ± 10.1, and 43.1 ± 11.1, respectively, p < .001), and dissection quality (81.1 ± 13.1, 93.7 ± 15.1, and 126.4 ± 25.2, respectively, p < .001). The training group improved their OSATS score (41.1 ± 8.0 to 61.1 ± 6.9, p < .001) and dissection quality (122.1 ± 22.2 to 90.9 ± 10.3, p = .013), while the control group not. After training, 80% of novices with no prior FESS experiences completed surgeries on cadaver sinuses. Conclusion: Repeated training using the models revealed an initial learning curve in novices, which was confirmed in cadaveric mock FESS surgeries. Level of evidence: N/A.

    English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVE: Several methods have been reported to correct caudal deviation of the nasal septum, including open septorhinoplasty (OSR) and septoplasty with Killian incision (KI). In general, OSR is applied instead of KI for caudal deviation. However, there is little objective evidence own on the effects of OSR and KI for caudal deviation. In this study, we compared surgical outcomes between OSR and KI by quantifying nasal septum deviation using two simple and objective parameters on routine paranasal sinus CT scans. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 18 patients who underwent OSR and 11 patients who underwent septoplasty with KI between April 2006 and October 2019. Caudal deviation was defined on the basis of the "Anterior-posterior Position of the most deviated point of the nasal septum (AP)," which was measured on computerized tomography. The deformation rate (DR) of the nasal septum was also calculated. Nasal airway resistance and visual analogue scale (VAS) score for nasal obstruction were examined. RESULTS: The AP was significantly correlated with the VAS score (r=-0.58, p=0.017). The DR in patients with caudal septal deviation was significantly decreased by OSR (0.14±0.06 to 0.03±0.03, p=0.004), but not by KI (0.09±0.08 to 0.04±0.03, p=0.25). OSR also improved nasal airway resistance (1.10±0.44 to 0.42±0.15, p=0.02), and the VAS score (79.11±14.74 to 5.78±7.89, p=0.004). CONCLUSION: Nasal obstruction is more severe in patients with the caudal deviation. OSR corrects caudal deviation of the nasal septum more effectively than does KI. The AP could be useful for the evaluation of the deviation of the nasal septum and help in selecting the appropriate septoplastic technique.

    English, Scientific journal, BackgroundFrom the first detection in 2019, SARS-CoV-2 infections have spread rapidly worldwide and have been proven to cause an urgent and important health problem. SARS-CoV-2 cell entry depends on two proteins present on the surface of host cells, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). The nasal cavity is thought to be one of the initial sites of infection and a possible reservoir for dissemination within and between individuals. However, it is not known how the expression of these genes is regulated in the nasal mucosa.

    ObjectiveIn this study, we examined whether the expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 is affected by innate immune signals in the nasal mucosa. We also investigated how fluticasone propionate (FP), a corticosteroid used as an intranasal steroid spray, affects the gene expression.

    MethodsPrimary human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) were collected from the nasal mucosa and incubated with Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists and/or fluticasone propionate (FP), followed by quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, and immunoblot analyses.

    ResultsAmong the TLR agonists, the TLR3 agonist Poly(I:C) significantly increased ACE2 and TMPRSS2 mRNA expression in HNECs (ACE2 36.212±11.600-fold change, p&lt;0.0001; TMPRSS2 5.598±2.434-fold change, p=0.031). The ACE2 protein level was also increased with Poly(I:C) stimulation (2.884±0.505-fold change, p=0.003). The Poly(I:C)-induced ACE2 expression was suppressed by co-incubation with FP (0.405±0.312-fold change, p=0.044).

    ConclusionThe activation of innate immune signals via TLR3 promotes the expression of genes related to SARS-CoV2 cell entry in the nasal mucosa, although this expression is suppressed in the presence of FP. Further studies are required to evaluate whether FP suppresses SARS-CoV-2 viral cell entry.

    English, Scientific journal, Zinc is an essential micronutrient in human body and a vital cofactor for the function of numerous proteins encoded by the human genome. Zinc has a critical role in maintaining many biochemical and physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, and multiple organ and systemic levels. The alteration of zinc homeostasis causes dysfunction of many organs and systems. In the immune system, zinc regulates the differentiation, proliferation and function of inflammatory cells, including T cells, eosinophils, and B cells, by modifying several signaling pathways such as NFκB signaling pathways and TCR signals. An adequate zinc level is essential for proper immune responses and decreased zinc levels were reported in many allergic inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis. Decreased zinc levels often enhance inflammatory activation. On the other hand, the inflammatory conditions alter the intracellular homeostasis of zinc, often decreasing zinc levels. These findings implied that there could be a vicious cycle between zinc deficiency and inflammatory conditions. In this review, we present recent evidence on the involvement of zinc in atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis, with insights into the involvement of zinc in the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms related to these allergic inflammatory diseases.

    English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVE: Despite of rapid advances in endoscopic surgery, the gold standard for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) surgery has remained the open approach with en-block resection due to the aggressive nature of SNSCC, including frequent recurrence and high mortality rate. For that reason, few studies have focused on SNSCC treated by endoscopic surgery alone. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of endoscopic surgery for patients with SNSCC. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed for 15 consecutive SNSCC patients who underwent endoscopic surgery without an open approach. We carefully selected patients whose tumor attachment sites could be fully visualized and completely resected through an endonasal approach. RESULTS: Of the fifteen patients, 4 patients (27%) were diagnosed with T1, 7 (47%) with T2, 4 (27%) with T3, and no patients with T4a or T4b disease. Four of the 15 (27%) patients showed positive surgical margins. The 5-yr overall survival, disease-specific survival, and local control rate was 72.4%, 79.6%, and 92.9%, respectively. The 5-yr disease-specific survival for T1, T2, and T3 disease was 100% and 75% and 75%, respectively. Patients with negative surgical margins had a better disease-specific survival rate than did those with positive surgical margins (p = 0.0253). CONCLUSION: Endoscopic surgery for patients with SNSCC appears to afford an effective method in selected cases. The achievement of negative surgical margins with a good view of the tumor attachment site was considered to be critical to the management of SNSCC.

    English, Scientific journal, The respiratory tract is constantly at risk of invasion by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In particular, the mucosal epithelium of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is at the very forefront of the battles between the host and the invading pathogens. Recent studies have revealed that the epithelium not only constitutes a physical barrier but also takes an essential role in the activation of the immune system. One of the mechanisms equipped in the epithelium to fight against microorganisms is the Toll-like receptor (TLR) response. TLRs recognize common structural components of microorganisms and activate the innate immune system, resulting in the production of a plethora of cytokines and chemokines in the response against microbes. As the epithelia-derived cytokines are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, such as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR), the molecules involved in the TLR response may be utilized as therapeutic targets for these diseases. There are several differences in the TLR response between nasal and bronchial epithelial cells, and knowledge of the TLR signals in the upper airway is sparse compared to that in the lower airway. In this review, we provide recent evidence on TLR signaling in the upper airway, focusing on the expression, regulation, and responsiveness of TLRs in human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs). We also discuss how TLRs in the epithelium are involved in the pathogenesis of, and possible therapeutic targeting, for CRS and AR.

    本研究ではインターロイキン12(以下、IL-12)による好酸球性副鼻腔炎の病態制御機構解明を目的としている。好酸球性副鼻腔炎では鼻副鼻腔粘膜におけるタイトジャンクションの形成低下およびバリア機能低下が発症メカニズムにおいて重要である。IL-12のバリア機能への影響を確認するため、primary human nasal epithelial cell(以下、pHNEC)の気相―液相培養(air-liquid interference culture、以下ALI培養)を確立した。これによりALI培養された細胞における経上皮電気抵抗(transepithelial electrical resistance、以下TEER)を測定することによりバリア機能を評価可能となった。またTEER測定後のmembraneをZO-1で免疫蛍光染色し共焦点型顕微鏡で解析することによっても、タイトジャンクション形成能の評価が可能となった。現在、好酸球性副鼻腔炎・非好酸球性副鼻腔炎・健常例のALI培養ににおいてリコンビナントIL-12によるバリア機能への影響を評価中である。
    健常例におけるTEER測定においてはpoly(I:C)刺激により低下することが確認された。これをpositive controlとしてIL-12による共培養によりレスキューできるかについて評価した。経時的にTEERを測定したものの、有意な変化を認めなかった。また刺激後48時間の時点でmembraneをZO-1で蛍光免染し蛍光強度の変化を評価したものの、有意差を認めなかった。IL-12の刺激条件を変更して再評価中である。なおpoly(I:C)はTLR3を刺激することから、鼻腔上皮における自然免疫シグナルによる影響を評価することも重要と考え、特にCOVID-19の侵入受容体であるアンジオテンシン2変換酵素受容体(ACE2)について評価したところ、ACE2はTLR3により有意に誘導されることが確認された。またその誘導はフルチカゾンにより抑制されることを確認した。
