- Figure 1.
The method of epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT). (A) Trans-nasal EAT using a sterile straight nasal cotton swab. (B) Trans-oral EAT using a pharyngeal cotton swab. (C) Endoscopic trans-nasal EAT. The entire epipharyngeal wall is scrubbed using a sterile straight nasal cotton swab soaked in 1% ZnCl2 solution. The white triangle indicates a sterile straight nasal cotton swab.

Protein expression patterns of Cytokeratin 13 (CK13) in patient epipharynx samples of the epipharyngeal abrasive therapy-treated and non-treated groups.

α2,6 Sialic acid expression in patient tissue samples without and with epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT). (A) Sialic acid in α2,6 linkage was recognized with biotinylated lectin Sambucus sieboldiana (SSA). (B) Immunohistochemical (IHC) scores for lectin SSA expression on the epipharyngeal mucosa of the EAT-treated (n=11) and non-treated groups (n=7). ns: Not significant.

Protein expression patterns of Cav1.2 in patient tissue samples without and with epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT). (A) Cav1.2 expression in the epipharynx of the EAT-treated and non-treated groups. (B) Immunohistochemical (IHC) scores for Cav1.2 expression on the epipharyngeal mucosa of the EAT-treated (n = 11) and non-treated groups (n = 7). **Significantly different at p<0.01.
