[The expression of IL-22 in nasal polyps tissues]
Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the expression of IL-22 in nasal polyps and the expression of Th22 cells. Method:The concentrations of IL-22 in nasal polyps were determined by ELISA. The mononuclear cells infiltrated in nasal polyps were separated and flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of IL-22 in CD4+ T cells and the counts of Th22 cells. Result:Compared with the control group, the expression of IL-22 in nasal polyps did not change significantly, however the expression of IL-22 in CD4+ T cells increased. Furthermore the number of Th22 cells in the tissue increased significantly. Conclusion:The expression of Th22 cells in nasal polyps is significantly increased, which may play an important role in local chronic inflammatory mucosal immunity.

Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
