    (2020) Sevil, Ergun; Gul, Fatih; Oguzhan, Tolga; Bercin, Sami; Neselioglu, Salim; Bicer, Cemile
    Aim: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The current study investigates a novel oxidative stress marker (thiol (SH)/disulfide (SS) homeostasis) in patients with CRS with and without nasal polyposis (NPs).Materials and Methods: A total of 167 subjects, including 94 patients with CRS and 73 healthy controls, were included in the study. The patients were subdivided into two groups those with CRS with NP and those with CRS without NP. Comparisons were made between the groups in respect of serum native SH, total thiol (TT), and SS levels and the SS/SH and SS/TT ratios. Results: There was no significant difference in TT between the CRS with the NP group and the CRS without the NP group (p> 0.05). There was a significant difference (p 0.05) between the CRS without the NP group and the control group in %SH/TT, %SS/TT, %SS/SH, SS, and SH. A significant difference (p 0.05) was found between the CRS with the NP group and the control group in %SH/TT, %SS/TT, %SS/SH, SS and SH values. Conclusion: Dynamic SH/SS homeostasis shifts towards SS formation as a result of SH oxidation in patients with CRS.

    Effects of endoscopic endonasal sinus surgery on nasal flora in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the alterations in the nasal flora in patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Material and Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients diagnosed with CRSwNP who were resistant to medical treatment and recommended for surgery. The nasal cavity was sampled two times, first preoperatively on the day of operation and postoperatively in the 4th week. Patients were divided into two groups according to their culture results, including normal flora bacteria and potential pathogen production. Results: In the preoperative swab samples, 3 (11.1%) patients had no bacterial growth, 16 (59.3%) patients had a normal flora, and potential pathogens were detected in 8 (29.6%) patients. However, postoperatively, 3 (11.1%) patients had no bacterial growth, 13 (48.1%) patients had a normal flora, and potential pathogens were detected in 11 (40.7%) patients during the postoperative period. No significant difference was found between preoperative and postoperative culture results in terms of the number of patients with normal flora, potential pathogens, and no bacterial growth (p=0.676). The most common microorganism in the normal flora group preoperative and postoperative period was coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (77.8%, 51.9%, respectively), and the most common microorganism in the potential pathogen group was Staphylococcus aureus (18.5% and 25.9%, respectively). Comparing preoperative and postoperative culture results according to isolated potential pathogen microorganism types, no statistically significant difference was observed for any microorganism in the potential pathogen group (p>0.05).Conclusion: As a result, no correlation between nasal polyps’ surgery and potential pathogens was detected.
