概括
吸烟会损害嗅觉功能,约有10%的吸烟者经历了功能障碍. 较高的包装年,这是吸烟强度和持续时间的衡量标准,与较差的嗅觉识别分数和功能障碍有关.
科学领域:
- 感官神经科学是一种神经科学.
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 临床研究临床研究
背景情况:
- 现有研究表明,吸烟会对嗅觉功能产生负面影响.
- 很少有研究研究过吸烟史 (持续时间,强度) 和嗅觉障碍之间的关系.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定成年吸烟者嗅觉功能障碍的患病率.
- 检查吸烟强度/持续时间与嗅觉功能之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 在戒烟试验中对成年吸烟者的横截面研究.
- 使用Burghart's Sniffin' Sticks 16项识别测试 (OIS) 评估的嗅觉功能.
- 嗅觉功能障碍定义为OIS ≤11;回归模型分析了与包装年,每天香烟 (CPD) 和吸烟年 (YOS) 的关联.
主要成果:
- 375名吸烟者 (96.7%的完成率) 参与了调查;平均年龄为39.0岁,44.8%是女性.
- 平均吸烟:18年 (中位数) 的15个CPD. 平均OIS为13.3;12.0%的人有嗅觉功能障碍.
- 与包装年相关的嗅觉功能障碍 (OR=1.03),但不是YOS或CPD. OIS与包装年负相关 (系数=-11.11).
结论:
- 在戒烟试验中,大约10%的吸烟者 (≥5个CPD) 呈现嗅觉功能障碍.
- 增加的包装年数与较差的嗅觉功能指标显著相关,嗅觉功能障碍的几率增加.

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
11.1K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Physiology of Smell and Olfactory Pathway
12.1K
Humans detect odors with the help of specialized cells located in the upper part of the nasal cavity, called olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). ORNs possess hair-like structures called cilia, which are receptive to sensations from the inhaled air. When an odorant molecule binds to a specific receptor on the cell of the cilia, it leads to a series of events that ultimately cause the ORN to send electrical signals to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerves.

Olfaction

The sense of smell is achieved through the activities of the olfactory system. It starts when an airborne odorant enters the nasal cavity and reaches olfactory epithelium (OE). The OE is protected by a thin layer of mucus, which also serves the purpose of dissolving more complex compounds into simpler chemical odorants. The size of the OE and the density of sensory neurons varies among species; in humans, the OE is only about 9-10 cm2.
