Assessing Epithelial Integrity in CRSwNP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sinus tissues from 14 non-smoking CRSwNP patients were collected during FESS, of whom 36% had an allergy, 43% had concomitant asthma and 36% underwent a previous FESS. The inferior turbinate was collected from 7 non-allergic, non-smoking, non-asthmatic healthy controls during esthetic rhinoplasty, of whom 14% underwent a previous esthetic and/or function rhinoplasty. Biopsies, in duplicate, were mounted in Ussing chambers to evaluate epithelial integrity ex vivo.24 (link) Briefly, trans-epithelial tissue resistance (TER) was recorded for 2 hours and the average of all time points was calculated and are presented as Ω × cm2. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran 4kDa (FD4, 1 mg/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) was added to the mucosal compartment. Serosal samples were collected every 30 minutes over 2 hours to evaluate fluorescence intensity with a fluorescence reader (FLUOstar Omega; BMG Labtech, Ortenberg, Germany). Patients' demographics are be found in Table 1.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
