目的:探讨唾液酸Lewis-X(SleX)在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎鼻黏膜组织中的表达。方法:利用SleX单克隆抗体,通过免疫组织化学技术对9例慢性鼻-鼻窦炎患者鼻黏膜组织及7例正常对照鼻黏膜组织进行染色,分析SleX在鼻黏膜组织中的表达。结果:SleX在鼻黏膜上皮细胞及中性粒细胞均有表达。SleX在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎鼻黏膜上皮细胞中的表达阳性率为88.9%,在正常鼻黏膜上皮细胞中的表达阳性率为14.3%,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:SleX在慢性鼻-鼻窦炎黏膜组织高表达,可能参与慢性鼻-鼻窦炎的发生。
Objective:To explore the expression of SleX in nasal epithelium in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Method:Nine nasal epitheliums from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and 7 normal controls were stained with SleX antibody by immunohistochemistry, and its expression were analyzed. Result:Both nasal epithelial cells and neutrophils expressed SleX. Nearly 88. 9% nasal epithelium from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis expressed SleX while 14.3% in normal control. Expression of SleX in nasal epitheliums from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were higher than that in normal control. There were significant difference between two groups. Conclusion: Nasal epithelium from patients with CRS is highly expressed SleX. It may involve the occurence of chronic rhinosinusitis.
