[The expression and role of interleukin-8 in chronic rhinosinusitis]
Abstract:
Interleukin-8(IL-8) is an inflammatory factor secreted by multiple cells. It has a variety of biological effects such as trending inflammatory cells and promoting angiogenesis in the body. Currently, it is found to play an important role in promoting airway inflammation. Chronic rhinosinusitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity and sinus mucosa. Under the stimulation of a variety of factors, the secretion of IL-8 in the nasal mucosa and nasal polyps of CRS patients could increase. Therefore, it can cause inflammation and mucosal damage by trending chemotaxis neutrophils and eosinophils.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
