Weak Immunity May Drive Tough-to-Treat Sinusitis

For small group of patients, drugs and surgery don't work


Weakened immune responses inside the nose may help explain chronic sinusitis that does not respond to treatment, according to new research.

Chronic sinusitis is persistent inflammation of the moist tissue that lines the nose and sinus cavities, resulting in clogged passages and recurrent infections.

This condition is usually treated with antibiotics, decongestants and steroids, but when medications fail, surgery can help keep the passages open. Unfortunately, nearly one in 10 of people treated with medications or surgery see symptoms return within weeks or months.

In a new study, a Johns Hopkins University team compared cells of the mucous membrane lining the nose from nine patients who benefited from surgery with nine who did not. They will present the findings Tuesday at the annual scientific sessions of the American Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.

The team found that, in people who did not benefit from surgery, the activity of at least four genes in the body's nasal immune defense system were severely decreased, and their production of two proteins critical to this defense was 20 to 200 times below normal.

"The nose's first line of defense is the epithelium [lining], and when the local innate immune function is curtailed, infections can get a head start, which might serve to worsen the sinus inflammation," Andrew Lane, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of its rhinology and sinus surgery center, explained in a prepared statement.

SWARM PROJECT
Do it yourself web site optimization

Q. What will I learn from the Swarm Project Class?

If you are thinking, “HEY; I have trouble even turning on my computer!”

A. Well, if you can turn on your computer and get connected to the 'Net, you or anyone who has the desire and dedication CAN learn Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and earn a living from it either online or off. And no, you don't have to be a “geek”!

You will learn that a properly optimized website is like a magnet to search engines and attracts website visitors the same way a moth is attracted to a light on a dark night....AND the traffic you receive is Targeted Traffic....meaning they are searching just for what you are offering!

The style of SEO you will be taught is called “Natural” or “Organic”....meaning people arrive at your website because they typed in a keyword or keyphrase that is relevant to your site, and because you will learn the proper optimization, you site will show up in the first few positions of the search results and gets the click-thru from the searcher.

MORE TARGETED VISITORS = MORE AFFILIATES =

MORE SALES = MORE INCOME!
