    Abstract Background: Central compartment atopic disease (CCAD) is a recently described variant of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) strongly associated with atopy. The association between central compartment disease (CCD) and inhalant allergy is not well established in South-East Asia, where perennial allergic rhinitis is common.
    Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate endoscopic and radiologic CCD as predictors of perennial allergen sensitization in primary CRS. The secondary objective was to compare clinical characteristics of CCAD with other CRS subtypes (CRSwNP and CRSsNP).
    Methods: A retrospective study of consecutive patients with primary CRS who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery at our institution was performed. Allergen sensitization was confirmed by skin or serum testing. Endoscopy records and computed tomography scans of paranasal sinuses were reviewed for CCD. The diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic and radiologic CCD in predicting atopy was calculated.
    Results: There were 104 patients (43 CCAD, 30 CRSwNP and 31 CRSsNP). Endoscopic CCD was significantly associated with aeroallergen sensitization (odds ratio (OR) 3.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.65-9.67,
    Conclusions: Endoscopic CCD was a better predictor of inhalant allergy than radiologic CCD in primary CRS, in a locale of perennial allergic rhinitis.

    Abstract Physiological synchrony is an important biological process during which parent-child interaction plays a significant role in shaping child socioemotional adjustment. The present study held a context-dependent perspective to examine the conditional association between parent-child physiological synchrony and child socioemotional adjustment (i.e., relationship quality with parents and child emotion regulation) under different (i.e., from highly unsupportive to highly supportive) emotional contexts.

    Abstract Background: The frontal sinus and its drainage pathway are difficult spaces to navigate surgically. The complexity of the frontal recess anatomy as well as inflammatory factors may influence outcomes of endoscopic frontal sinusotomy. It is not clear which factors are more important in determining post-operative frontal ostium patency.
    Objective: The objective is to investigate whether the distribution of fronto-ethmoidal cells, frontal recess dimensions and sinonasal inflammation predict frontal ostium patency at 1- and 2-years after endoscopic frontal sinusotomy.
    Methods: A retrospective review of 94 chronic rhinosinusitis patients (185 sides) who had undergone endoscopic frontal sinusotomies between 2015 and 2019 was conducted. Computed tomography was used to evaluate the type of fronto-ethmoidal cells present and determine the dimensions of the frontal recess. The International Classification of the Radiological Complexity of frontal recess and frontal sinus was used to grade the complexity of frontal recess anatomy. Mucosal inflammation was graded according to a structured histopathology report. Frontal ostium patency at 1- and 2-years post-operatively was recorded.
    Results: The frontal ostium patency rates were 80.9% and 73.4% at 1- and 2-years respectively. Eosinophilic predominance (adjusted OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.6-8.0, p = 0.003) and mucosal ulceration on histology (adjusted OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.1-17.9, p = 0.033) predicted ostial stenosis at 1 year. Smoking (adjusted OR 7.6, 95% CI 2.4-24.7, p = 0.001), aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) (adjusted OR 7.6, 95% CI 1.9-30.1, p = 0.004) and histological findings of severe inflammation (adjusted OR 8.9, 95% CI 1.9-41.2, p = 0.005) were independent predictors of ostial stenosis at 2 years. Frontal cell patterns, frontal recess dimensions and frontal recess complexity did not predict frontal ostium stenosis at both 1- and 2-years post-operatively.
    Conclusion: Post-operative control of sinonasal inflammation is important in maintaining frontal ostium patency, regardless of frontal cell patterns or frontal recess dimensions.

    Abstract Background: The objectives of this study are to describe the levator veli palatini (LVP) as a landmark for the parapharyngeal internal carotid artery (pICA) and the endoscopic course of the pICA.
    Methods: Cadaver dissection and illustrative case study.
    Results: Seven cadaveric heads (12 sides) were dissected. In all 12 sides, the LVP was consistently located between the Eustachian tube and the pICA near the skull base, making the LVP just anterior to and the closest structure to the pICA. The distance between the pICA and the nares ranged from 9.0 to 12.7 cm. The distance between the pICA and the midpoint of the nasopharynx ranged from 1.9 to 3.7 cm. The case study illustrated the applicability of these findings.
    Conclusion: The LVP is a reliable and precise landmark for the pICA. A safe working distance to the pICA is 1.9 cm from the midpoint of the nasopharynx and 9.0 cm from the nares.

    Abstract Cell maintenance and the establishment of cell polarity involve complicated interactions among multiple protein complexes as well as the regulation of different signaling pathways. As an important cell polarity protein, Par3 is evolutionarily conserved and involved in tight junction formation as well as tumorigenesis. In this review, we aimed to explore the function of Par3 in tumorigenesis. Research has shown that Par3 exhibits dual functions in human cancers, both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive. Here, we focus on the activities of Par3 in different stages and types of tumors, aiming to offer a new perspective on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the functions of Par3 in tumor development. Tumor origin, tumor microenvironment, tumor type, cell density, cell-cell contact, and the synergistic effect of Par3 and other tumor-associated signaling pathways may be important reasons for the dual function of Par3. The important role of Par3 in mammalian tumorigenesis and potential signaling pathways is context dependent.

    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) associated with type 2 inflammation and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) can be difficult to control with standard medical therapy and sinus surgery. In this group, biologicals are potentially promising treatment options. The phase III clinical trials for omalizumab, dupilumab, mepolizumab and benralizumab in CRSwNP have demonstrated favourable outcomes. Moving forward, direct comparisons among biologicals, refining patient selection criteria for specific biologicals, determining optimal treatment duration and monitoring long-term outcomes are areas of emerging interest. This review summarizes the clinical evidence from the recent 2 years on the role of biologicals in severe CRSwNP and N-ERD, and proposes an approach towards decision-making in their use.

    Abstract Aim: To observe the effect of warming menstruation and analgesic herbal soup (WMAS) on the pathway of programmed cell death protein 1 and its ligand 1 PD-1/PD-L1 in rats with endometriosis model.
    Methods: A total of 90 mature female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups of 15 rats each. Of these, 5 groups were randomly selected for endometriosis molding and given high (HW group), medium (MW group) and low (LW group) doses of WMAS, western medicine (progesterone capsules, PC group) and saline gavage (SG group) respectively. The other group was a normal group (NM group), which was given saline gavage. The protein expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 on rat in eutopic and ectopic endothelium was detected by immunohistochemistry and the mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in rats was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
    Results: The protein and mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of rats in the endometriosis group were higher than in the normal group (P <.05). The protein and mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in the eutopic and ectopic endothelium of the HW, MW and PC groups were lower than in the SG group (P <.05).
    Conclusion: High expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 occurs in endometriosis, and WMAS can inhibit the immune signalling pathway PD-1/PD-L1, which may be available to inhibit the development of endometriosis.

    Abstract Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein-interacting protein family member 1 (WIPF1) is associated with malignant tumor progression. However, molecular links between WIPF1 and gastric cancer (GC) remain elusive. The expression of WIPF1 was detected in GC tissues and cells. WIPF1 was overexpressed in GC tissues and cells and high expression of WIPF1 was an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis in patients with GC. Further experiments indicated that WIPF1 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of GC cells

    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a clinical syndrome stemming from persistent inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa. Phenotypically, it is traditionally and widely described according to the presence or absence of polyps. While this distinction is simple to use, it has little bearing on prognosis and treatment, for CRS is essentially an inflammatory disease resulting from dysregulated interaction between a multitude of host and environmental factors. Allergy is merely one of them and, like many of the proposed aetiologies, has been subject to much debate which will be discussed here. As our understanding of CRS continues to evolve, previous so-called conventional wisdom about phenotypes (e.g. CRS with nasal polyps is associated with Type 2 inflammation) is being challenged, and new phenotypes are also emerging. In addition, there is growing interest in defining the endotypes of CRS to deliver precise and personalised treatment, especially pertaining to the development of biologics for the group of severe, difficult-to-treat CRS patients. A proposed model of precision medicine tailored to management of CRS will also be introduced to readers, which can be continually modified to adapt to new discoveries about this exciting condition.
