Characteristics of Ion Transport
A. After 3 weeks of treatment with CISS, the ion transport characteristics were significantly different from those rabbits who had control stents. Sinus PD measurements revealed significantly increased response to Cl− free ringers + forskolin in sinusitis rabbits treated with CISS compared to those that had control stents

B. CISS promoted transepithelial Cl− secretion in a cyclic AMP dependent fashion, indicative of improved CFTR activity (Cl− free + forskolin ΔPD (mV), Control = −4.23 +/− 1.04, CISS = −18.36 +/− 6.31, p = 0.026).
