It is generally classified into allergic and non-allergic types and both are associated with several unpleasant symptoms. Several medications prescribed for different medical conditions can cause unpleasant rhinitis as an adverse effect, which is known as drug-induced non-allergic rhinitis. The aims of this article were to review the literature to identify drugs that could induce rhinitis, prevalence of drug-induced rhinitis, and the associated pathogenic mechanisms if known.MethodsLiterature search screening for eligible papers published up to December 31st, 2021, in Medline (via PubMed) and Embase was conducted. The search included the following combination of keywords and terms: rhinitis, sneezing, congestion, allergic, non-allergic, rhinorrhea, vasomotor, medication, drug-induced.ResultsThe review findings suggest that 12 subtypes of drugs potentially could induce rhinitis. Based on their mechanisms of action, the pathogenic causes for the induction of rhinitis have been recognized for some drugs, while others remain unknown.ConclusionAwareness of the list of drugs that reportedly induce non-allergic nasal symptoms, along with taking the patient's medication history, is important in the diagnosis of rhinitis.</p>","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":" ","pages":"582-590"},"PeriodicalIF":17.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40703182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This tends to cause the absorption deformation of the auricle framework after surgery. In order to reduce the absorption deformation as well as make the reconstructed auricle more three-dimensional and the ear shape more realistic, our ear reconstruction team invented a novel method to make an auricle framework with autologous costal cartilage. The auricle framework made by this novel method has been applied to auricle reconstruction and has achieved excellent surgical results.Patients and MethodsClinical data and postoperative data were collected for patients with unilateral microtia who received auricle reconstruction using the novel method of auricle framework construction in Plastic Surgery Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. The therapeutic effect of this novel method was evaluated by the satisfaction rate of patients and their families and by the prevalence of postoperative complications.ResultsA total of 60 patients were enrolled in this study. The average age was (10.95 ± 2.97) years old. The mean follow-up time was 24.02 ± 1.52 months. The satisfaction rate of patients and their families was 96.7%. In terms of postoperative complications, two patients had postoperative infection, one patient had framework exposure, no patients had framework absorption and deformation, two patients had postoperative hematoma, and three patients had scar hyperplasia.ConclusionThis novel method of making the auricle framework is more standardized, easier to master for plastic surgeons, and more conducive to the clinical application of plastic surgery. Through this study, we believe that this novel method offers significant therapeutic advantages and can be used as a unified standard for construction of an auricle framework using autologous costal cartilage.</p>","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":" ","pages":"NP599-NP605"},"PeriodicalIF":17.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40723094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Liden/Jerger's classification, the patients were divided into two groups: Type B and type C, which were defined as the tympanometry abnormal group (TAG), and the rest were classified as the tympanometry normal group (TNG).ResultsA total of 316 children were included in this study.

The degree of hematoma, swelling, subcutaneous bleeding in the anterior neck, and emotional stability should also be considered. Proper management during the acute phase may allow for conservative treatments. Hematomas extending below the tracheal bifurcation may help ease upper airway obstruction due to pressure distribution, allowing for conservative treatment. When hematomas are surgically evacuated, tracheotomy should be performed simultaneously.
