Keywords in Portuguese
Colágeno
Membrana basal
Mucosa nasal
Remodelação das vias aéreas
Rinite
Abstract in Portuguese
INTRODUÇÃO: Embora seja reconhecida a existência do espessamento da membrana basal e da fibrose da concha nasal na rinite alérgica, não há estudos descritivos do comportamento da mucosa nasal nos pacientes com rinite idiopática. O propósito desse estudo é descrever possíveis alterações na membrana basal e na lâmina própria da concha nasal inferior em pacientes com rinite alérgica ou idiopática, além do estudo quantitativo das fibras colágenas nesta localização. MÉTODOS: Analisou-se na concha nasal inferior obtida através de turbinectomia bilateral em 28 pacientes - 14 com rinite alérgica e 14 com rinite idiopática - a área ocupada pelo colágeno, a espessura da membrana basal e o diâmetro das fibrilas de colágeno através do uso de microscopia óptica (coloração Hematoxilina-eosina e Picrossírius-hematoxilina), microscopia eletrônica e imunoistoquímica para laminina e colágeno IV. RESULTADOS: 1) pacientes com rinite alérgica apresentaram significantemente maior área da concha nasal ocupada por colágeno do que o grupo com rinite idiopática. 2) a membrana basal de pacientes com rinite alérgica foi significantemente mais espessa. 3) a lâmina reticular da membrana basal dos pacientes com rinite alérgica apresentaram fibrilas de colágeno com menor diâmetro que os pacientes com rinite idiopática. 4) não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos na distribuição de laminina e de colágeno IV. CONCLUSÕES: Alterações na mucosa nasal ocorrem na rinite alérgica, sendo caracterizadas pelo aumento da espessura da membrana basal e por fibrose. Na rinite idiopática, observou-se uma mucosa com aspecto estrutural semelhante aos pacientes normais

Abstract in English
INTRODUCTION: Despite our knowledge about nasal conchae fibrosis and basement membrane thickening in allergic rhinitis, there are no descriptive studies on nasal mucosa behavior in patients with idiopathic rhinitis. The aim of our study was to describe possible changes in the basement membrane and lamina propria of the inferior concha in patients with idiopathic or allergic rhinitis, in addition to a quantitative study of collagen fibers in this site. METHODS: The inferior nasal concha obtained from 28 patients submitted to bilateral turbinectomy was examined - 14 with allergic rhinitis and 14 with idiopathic rhinitis; analyzing the collagen area, the basement membrane thickness and the collagen fibrils diameter using optical microscopy (Hematoxylin-eosin and Picrosirius-hematoxylin staining), electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for laminin and collagen IV. RESULTS: 1) patients with allergic rhinitis had a significantly larger area of the nasal concha occupied by collagen than the group with idiopathic rhinitis. 2) the basement membrane of patients with allergic rhinitis was significantly thicker. 3) the reticular lamina of the basement membrane of patients with allergic rhinitis had collagen fibrils with diameters which were smaller than those from patients with idiopathic rhinitis. 4) there were no significant differences between the groups concerning the distribution of laminin and collagen IV. CONCLUSIONS: Alterations to the nasal mucosa that happen in allergic rhinitis are characterized by basement membrane thickening and fibrosis. In idiopathic rhinitis the patients' mucosae were structurally similar to those from normal patients
