Effect of a combination of mometasone furoate, levofloxacin, and retinyl palmitate with an in situ gel-forming nasal delivery system on nasal mucosa damage repair in an experimental rabbit model

Zusammenfassung: | In this study a combination of Mometasone Furoate (MF)+Levofloxacin hemihydrate (LH)+Retinyl palmitate (RP) with an in situ gel-forming delivery system was evaluated at different stages of nasal mucosal damage repair in a rabbit maxillary sinus model.
In this study, 28 rabbits were included and assigned randomly to four groups. In all rabbits, a standard ostium was opened in the medial wall of the maxillary sinus by using a drill. Two different subsequently prepared gels with an in situ gel-forming delivery system were used. Of these 14 nasal cavities, combination 1 (active combination) was applied daily to 5, combination 2 (placebo) to 5, while 4 did not receive any pharmaceutical treatment. The diameter of the ostium was measured. Histopathological assessment was performed.
After 2, 3 and 4 weeks, the ostium diameter was significantly wider in the group where gel 1 had been applied compared to both the placebo group and control group. In the group treated with gel 1, after 2, 3 and 4 weeks the presence of superficial cilia was significantly greater, surface epithelium significantly less. In the 4th week, histologic scores for fibroblastic proliferation and vascular proliferation in the group treated with gel 1 were better than in either the control group or the placebo group. With gel 1, chronic inflammation parameters were also significantly lower than in the other groups.
The MF+LH+RP mixture with an in situ gel-forming nasal delivery system applied for wound healing after FESS prevents the formation of stenosis and is favorable for proper wound healing. |
