The cytology of nasal secretions in 20 patients with allergic rhinitis and 15 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis was investigated with transmission electron microscope to study the ultrastructure of the cluster epithelial cells in nasal secretions of allergic rhinitis. The results showed that the cluster epithelial cells were predominant cellular element in allergic nasal secretions. The number of cluster cells correlated positively with the number of eosinophils and the levels of eosinophilic cationic protein. It is suggested that the exfoliation of cluster nasal epithelial cellular elements may be caused by eosinophic cationic protein with resultant hyperreactivity of nasal mucosa.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
