Experimental

Sham Comparator

Arm Label

Steroid-eluting stent implant

Without Steroid-eluting stent implant

Arm Description

The ESS procedure had to be successfully completed without complication on both sides. Steroid-eluting stent were implanted in one side of ethmoid sinus and frontal sinus randomly.

The ESS procedure had to be successfully completed without complication on both sides. The side without the stent is defined as the control side.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The change in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score
We used the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scoring system to measure the patient's nasal cavity based on fi there were edema, vesicles, adhesions, scars and polyps.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The changes in nasal symptoms
Nasal symptoms measured by Visual analog score. The four nasal symptoms (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, headache and olfactory disorder) involved in assigning the total nasal symptom score(TNSS). The symptoms are graded on a10-point scale (0 = no symptoms;10 = most severe symptoms).
Nasal patency
Acoustic rhinometry was performed to measure the total nasal cavity volume (cm³) and Rhinomanometer was used to measure the total nasal airway resistance (Pa·cm-³·s-1) .
Exhaled nasal nitric oxide
Measure exhaled nasal nitric oxide (nNO). Briefly, NO-free air was aspirated through the nasal cavity at a flow rate of 50 ml/s. The subject exhaled against the air-resistance, resulting in an intraoral pressure to close the velum and prevent mixture of oral and nasal gas. Nasal gas from this circuit was continuously routed in part directly into the analyser for determination of nNO, and the level of nNO(ppb) was calculated from a plateau lasting for at least 3s.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The treatment of eosinophilic sinusitis with nasal polyps is difficult and challenging. After endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS), complications such as edema, scar formation, adhesions, sinus stenosis and recurrence of polyps are prone to occur. Investigators aim to assess the efficacy and safety of Steroid-eluting stent when implanted in sinus in patients following ESS with eosinophilic sinusitis and nasal polyps.The randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial enrolled patients with eosinophilic sinusitis and nasal polyps. After endoscopic bilateral sinus surgery, the Steroid-eluting stents were randomly implanted in one side of the sinus and the other side as a control. Primary outcomes are change in the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score.The primary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week4,week 8 and week 12. Secondary outcomes include the changes in symptoms measured by Visual analog score and nasal patency (nasal airway resistance and nasal cavity volume), exhaled nasal nitric oxide. The investigators also evaluate change in inflammatory cytokines (interleukin(IL)-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-17, IL-22, IL-25, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β, Leukotriene,Eotaxin) in nasal secretions. The secondary outcomes will be measured in baseline, week4, week8 and week12. Mucosal pathology assessment will be performed at 4 weeks postoperatively.Sinus CT scan will be conducted at 8 weeks after surgery. Changes in serum cortisol are monitored at baseline,week4 and week12 postoperatively. All adverse events are recorded throughout the experiment

Nasal secretions were obtained by inserting a postoperative sinus pack in the nasal cavity (acupuncture side) for five minutes. The quantity of secretions was determined by comparing the weight of the sponges before and after insertion and 2 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution was added to each sponge. The sponges were stored at 4°C for two hours and the nasal secretions were recovered from the sponges by centrifugation at 1500 g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The supernatants were separated and stored in aliquots at -20°C until further analysis. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (pg/g) were analysed using the Luminex System.
