摘要
背景:耳咽管对中耳健康至关重要,可确保压力平衡、通气和防止病原体感染。吸烟会改变耳咽管功能,影响粘膜纤毛活动和中耳通气。目的/目的:本研究通过鼓室测量法、鼻粘膜纤毛清除率测试和咽鼓管功能障碍问卷来评估吸烟对咽鼓管功能的影响。材料和方法:年龄20-50岁,鼓膜完整,无上呼吸道感染或鼻腔病变的健康成年人。参与者分为吸烟者(按吸烟史分组:5-10、10-20和10-20包年)和非吸烟者。鼓室测量、纤毛粘液清除率测试和问卷调查。结果:276名受试者在问卷得分、依从性、中耳压、纤毛粘膜清除率方面,组间差异有统计学意义(p = 0.02, p = 0.009)。同侧声反射组间差异有统计学意义(p p = 0.049)。与5-10包年组相比,bbb20包年组的纤毛粘膜清除时间明显延长(p = 0.012)。结论和意义:鼓室测量、粘膜纤毛和问卷调查均证实,吸烟对耳咽管功能有不利影响。
Multifaceted evaluation of the effects of smoking on Eustachian tube function.
Background: The Eustachian tube is essential for middle ear health, ensuring pressure equalization, ventilation, and protection from pathogens. Smoking has been linked to altered Eustachian tube function, affecting mucociliary activity and middle ear ventilation.
Aims/objectives: This study evaluates smoking's impact on Eustachian tube function using tympanometry, nasal mucociliary clearance testing, and the Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire.
Material and methods: Healthy adults aged 20-50 years with intact tympanic membranes, no upper respiratory infections, or nasal pathologies were included. Participants were divided into smokers (subgrouped by smoking history: 5-10, 10-20, and >20 pack-years) and non-smokers. Tympanometry, mucociliary clearance testing, and the questionnaire were administered.
Results: Among 276 participants, significant differences in questionnaire scores, compliance, middle ear pressure, and mucociliary clearance times were observed between groups (p < 0.01, p = 0.02, p < 0.001, and p = 0.009, respectively). Ipsilateral acoustic reflexes differed significantly between groups (p < 0.005 and p = 0.049). Mucociliary clearance times were notably prolonged in the >20 pack-years group compared to the 5-10 pack-years group (p = 0.012).
Conclusions and significance: Smoking adversely affects Eustachian tube function, as evidenced by tympanometric, mucociliary, and questionnaire assessments.
