Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses, persisting for over12 weeks. CRS involves a remodeling process and opacification known as osteitis, resulting from type 2 and non-type two inflammation. Osteitis severity is assessed using CT scans and the Global Osteitis Scoring Scale (GOSS). Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is crucial in osteogenesis and bone remodeling. However, no research has shown a relationship between BMP-2 concentration and osteitis degree, as measured by GOSS, in CRS patients with or without nasal polyps. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between BMP-2 concentration and osteitis degree measure with GOSS in primary CRS. A cross-sectional analytic observational study was conducted using primary RSK as the study population. BMP-2 concentration, a marker for bone remodeling, used ELISA. The osteitis of the paranasal sinus walls was assessed with a CT scan and quantified using the GOSS method.  The study included 44 patients, with 8 of them serving as the control group. It was found that BMP-2 concentration (ng/mL) had a linear relationship with the GOSS degree in patients with CRS, showing a correlation of 0.583 (deviation >0.05). Further analysis revealed a significant correlation between BMP-2 concentration and GOSS, with a coefficient of 0.857 (considered very significant, in the range of 0.76-0.99). This strong correlation indicates that as BMP-2 concentration strongly correlates with the occurance of osteitis, which were measured by GOSS. BMP-2, as a marker for osteitis in CRS, shows a significant and linear correlation with the severity degree of osteitis measured by GOSS.

Abstract

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is one of the commodities in the Myristicaceae family that has numerous benefits and has high phenolic compounds. Elevated amounts of secondary metabolites in the Myristica genus pose significant challenges for obtaining high-quality DNA. This complexity often results in reduced DNA recovery and suboptimal absorbance ratios, attributed to contamination by RNA and proteins in DNA extraction yields.. The results of DNA extraction that have been obtained through several variations of optimized methods are compared. The DNA extraction method using a modified Geneaid Genomic DNA Mini Kit was determined to produce the highest quality and quantity of DNA. Compared to other protocols such as Doyle and Doyle, modified Doyle and Doyle, and the basic protocol of the Geneaid kit without improvement, the modified Geneaid Genomic DNA Mini Kit had a high mean range purity of 1.83, and bands appeared.

Abstract

The Danyoung classification characterizes progressive endoscopic changes in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis (AR) patients, but its clinical correlation with disease severity and chronicity remains unestablished. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the association between Danyoung stages (1: hypertrophic, 2: dimple, 3: wrinkled) and AR symptomatology. Fifty AR patients from a tertiary allergy-immunology clinic were enrolled over a six-month period. Data on symptom duration, profile, and ARIA-based severity (intermittent/persistent, mild/moderate-severe) were collected. Nasoendoscopic examination was performed for Danyoung staging. Statistical analysis using chi-square tests demonstrated no significant association between Danyoung stage and symptom duration (p=0.85) or clinical disease severity (p=0.96). The findings indicate that the Danyoung classification, as an objective morphological descriptor, is not a statistically significant predictor of symptom-based AR severity or chronicity in this patient cohort. This suggests that the progression of endoscopic nasal mucosal changes may follow a pathway independent of the clinical parameters defined by ARIA guidelines, limiting its utility as a standalone clinical prognostic tool.

Abstract

Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is an inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa triggered by allergies, with total IgE often used as a biomarker to assess disease severity. Objective: To analyze the relationship between total IgE levels, symptom duration, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and Danyoung Classification in AR patients. Methods: A cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted on 73 patients at the Allergy-Immunology Clinic of Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Total IgE levels were measured using the ELISA method, while VAS and nasal mucosa classification were assessed through anamnesis and nasoendoscopy. Results: The study showed68.5% of patients had IgE levels above 100 IU/ml, with an average of 982.97 IU/ml. Although higher IgE levels were often found in AR patients, there was no statistically significant correlation between IgE levels and Danyoung classification (significance value 0.924). The correlation test showed a coefficient of -0.11, indicating a negative correlation, but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The nasal mucosa condition in patients with high IgE levels does not always reflect severe inflammation. In addition to IgE levels, external factors such as exposure to pollutants and cigarette smoke also play a role in the condition of the nasal mucosa. Therefore, while high IgE levels often indicate allergic reactions, this study found no significant relationship between IgE levels and AR severity.
