CSF leakoccurs following fracture through the cribiform plate (the roof of the nasal cavity), resulting in the leakage of CSF out via the nose; this may manifest clinically as persistent clear rhinorrhoea CSF can be confirmed by testing the fluid for high levels of beta-2 transferrin; in ...
While the gold standard for CSF leak confirmation is surgical exploration, testing nasal fluid for beta-2 transferrin (B2Tf) via agarose gel electrophoresis followed by immunofixation (AGEI) remains the initial non-invasive CSF confirmatory test of choice. However, AGEI requires subjective ...

Analysis of nasal secretions for glucose with glucose-oxidase test paper systems (Clinistix or Tes-Tape) is widely used clinically to confirm the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. Studies on 164 subjects, without CSF rhinorrhea (72 normals and 92 patients with allergic or infectiou...

Pretreatment of HNEpCs with the fullerenol–ectoine for 1 h protected these cells from interaction with the S protein: these pretreated cells had cytokine levels that were similar to the control. There was only a tendency to increase the level of the M-CSF cytokine in the cell environment, ...
It is important to exclude an associatedskull fracture,which may be indicated by the presence of clear fluid in the nasal cavity. A fracture through the cribriform plate can result in a CSF leak. In an ideal world, you can test forbeta-2-transferrin(present only in CSF, perilymph, and ...
In the guinea pig model with allergic rhinitis, number of eosinophil cells in nasal lavage fluid and nasal mucosa inclined to increase 8 h post intranasal drip of IgY compared with that after 4 h, by contrast, the numbers continued to decline in IgY/PMAA nanogel group, indicating the long-...
