Impact of intranasal budesonide on immune inflammatory responses and epithelial remodeling in chronic upper airway inflammation
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Histologic and immunohistologic features of nasal polyps (NP) are similar to those observed in asthma, thus suggesting a similar immunopathology.
OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to further understand the anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects of locally delivered corticosteroids. To this end, the effect of intranasal budesonide on the expression of specific cytokines, lymphocyte subsets, and epithelial …
