[Effects of staphylococcus aureus hemolysin on nasal mucociliary clearance system]
Abstract:
The nasal mucosa directly connected with the outside world,and it is vulnerable to various inhaled harmful factors.Nasal mucosal surface covered with mucus cilia blanket.The cilia have the ability to eradicate alien.So the mucociliary clear(MCC) is called first line of defence.In addition to congenital factors of primary ciliary dyskinesia,a variety of acquired factors such as heat,cold,smoking,bacterial infection can damage the function of MCC,leading to various diseases,especially the occurrence of infectious diseases.
