OBJECTIVE Adenoidectomy, especially for the treatment of suppurative otitis media, has been used for a very long time. In this study, the role of adenoids in the origin of otitis media with effusion was investigated by using light microscopy, immunocytochemistry, enzyme chemistry, and electron microscopy. METHODS A group of 28 children with otitis media with effusion (OME) was identified. Ages ranged from 3 to 12 years. A control group of 10 age-matched children without any middle ear and upper respiratory tract infection served as the basis for comparison. Specimens obtained at surgeries from both groups were divided into groups for light microscopy, immunocytochemistry, enzyme cytochemistry, and electron microscopy and then all were examined blindly. Also, quantitative analysis of antigen-presenting cells was performed blindly on 10 patients and 10 controls. RESULTS There was an increase in the number of lymphocytes, mast cells, plasma cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and M cells in the adenoids of patients with OME when compared with the normal cases. Stratified squamous epithelial areas, collagenous fibers, and fibrocytes were also increased in the patient group. Antigen-presenting functions of epithelial cells are shown by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II positivity of some ciliated-columnar epithelial cells in the patient group. CONCLUSIONS Adenoid tissues of patients with OME in this study seem to be infectious foci, aggravating immune reactions, which might attack the middle ear through an ascending route.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
