[The correlation study on pathogenesis of B cell activation factor in eosinophils and neutrophil- predominant chronic
Abstract:
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is one of the common diseases. Involving the nasal passages and nasal passages, it may affect 10% of the global population. Surgical intervention is usually required. Its pathogenesis is a multielement and multistep complex process. Current multi-factor hypothesisplays a dominant role in the etiology of nasal polyps (NP). Infectious factors always play an important role in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. The lesions of nasal polyp have different inflammatory cell infiltration and can be divided into two types in immunophenotpe: the first is characterized by Th2 cell reaction and marked eosinophil infiltration,and the second is Th1/Th17 cell response and non-eosinophil infiltration are characteristic.NP, which is mainly infiltrated by neutrophils, is more and more common in China. B cell activation factor (BAFF) is a major inflammatory factor related to the regulation of B cell activation.Recent experiments have shown that BAFF is also high in nasal polyps.In this paper, the effects and interactions of BAFF and eosinophils and neutrophils in CRSwNP were reviewed.

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a...

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
