| Research Abstract |
The cases of sinusitis with olfactory dysfunction which postoperative ECP concentration decreased were found in not only postoperative good and improvement of dysosmia, but also significant decrease of respiratory NO concentration. Although severe infltration of eosinophil in the respiratory mucosa were seen, there was little infltration in olfactory mucosa. As large Boman glands were seen and positive stain of ConA and SNA were found, the increase of mucosa secretion in the olfacoty mucosa was suspected. There was little distribution of amphiregutin in the olfactory mucosa compared with that in the respiratory mucosa. Therefore, the effect of the olfactory mucosa due to the respiratory mucosal remodeling was indicated that the possibility of dysfunction of the olfactory mucosa was due to the secretory change.
