Recurrent episode of allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the leading illnesses that affects patients. However, there is little research evidence to support pharmacotherapy for AR recurrence. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the efficacy of pharmacotherapy in the control of the recurrence of AR.

Efficacy and Safety of Modified Yupingfeng Nasal Spray in Controlling the Recurrence of Persistent and Moderate-Severe Allergic Rhinitis: Study Protocol for a Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized, and Parallel-Arm Trial.

Corticosteroid has been a mainstay of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) medical therapy. While endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) will be performed when patients had failed to respond to maximal medical therapy. Many studies shown that several corticosteroids of interventions (e.g., nasal spray, oral, atomization/nebulization, nasal irrigation, direct infiltration, and steroid-eluting stent, etc) have each demonstrated significant efficacy compared with placebo or no corticosteroids intervention except intranasal corticosteroids for the treatment of CRSwNP after ESS. The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis is to answer the following question: which 1 is the best corticosteroid of intervention for CRSwNP patients after ESS?

The efficacy and safety of several interventions of corticosteroids for CRSwNP patients after endoscope sinus surgery: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be seen in people of all ages. CRS heavily affects the quality of a patient's daily life and also causes tremendous economic burdens on patients' families and society. The prevalence of CRS in different countries varies and no systematic review of the prevalence of CRS among Chinese has been published previously. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the prevalence of CRS among Chinese and to explore the main risk factors of CRS among Chinese.

Prevalence and risk factors of chronic rhinosinusitis among Chinese: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

As the first line of defense against risk factors, the nasal epithelial barrier maintains homeostasis in nasal mucosa. The composition of the epithelial barrier contains physical, chemical, immune, and microbiological barriers. Together, these barriers form the nasal defense against irritations. Risk factors from both internal and external environments can disrupt them. External risk factors contain allergens containing proteases, bacteria, virus, particulate matter, diesel exhaust particles, and cigarette smoke. In the meantime, inflammatory cytokines also increase the load on the barrier. Taking into account the role of the epithelial barrier in the nasal mucosa, some studies focus on the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) by restoring the epithelial barrier, and some progress has been made. Among the therapeutic approaches, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and steroid corticosteroids are considered two of the more studied categories, and their roles in repairing barriers have been demonstrated in AR and CRS. The underlying mechanism of HDAC inhibitor may be related to the transcription factor p63. And the protection of corticosteroids may be associated with the allergic disease susceptibility gene, protocadherin-1. Notably, manipulation of the microbiological barrier also has a positive effect on AR and CRS. Lactococcus and probiotics are two categories that are worth being explored continuously. We here review and discuss the compositions and risk factors of the nasal epithelial barrier. Furthermore, some novel and promising approaches to restore the defective barrier in nasal allergic diseases were mentioned.
