BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) remains to be determined; recently a possible change in the immune system with production of immunoglobulins is proposed. As vitamin E is a potent antioxidant, with the ability to decrease the serum...

The evolutionary context of chronic allergic conditions : The Hiwi of Venezuela.

Human nature (Hawthorne, N.Y.)

Hurtado AM, Hill K, de Hurtado IA, Rodriguez S.

The question of why populations with ecologies that resemble our evolutionary past rarely experience allergic conditions such as asthma has intrigued many biomedical scientists. Here we present descriptive data on the ecological context of allergic sensitization among the Hiwi...

RELATION OF BODY MASS INDEX WITH IgE LEVELS, ALLERGIC SENSITIZATION AND LUNG FUNCTION IN ASTHMATIC CHILDREN: OUR EXPERIENCE AND REVISION OF LITERATURE.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents

Garozzo MT, Cuppari C, Filippelli M, Arrigo T, Attardo D, Capizzi A, Lanzafame A, Leonardi S.
PMID: 26634594
J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. 2015 Apr-Jun;29(2):89-95.

In recent decades, there has been an increase in the prevalence of asthma and obesity in pediatric age. In this regard several studies have provided controversial data to demonstrate the link between Body Mass Index (BMI) and asthma, both...

Analysis of total immunoglobulin E and specific immunoglobulin E of 3,721 patients with allergic disease.

Biomedical reports

Chang ML, Cui C, Liu YH, Pei LC, Shao B.
PMID: 26171168
Biomed Rep. 2015 Jul;3(4):573-577. doi: 10.3892/br.2015.455. Epub 2015 Apr 29.

Due to the increase in the prevalence and incidence of allergic diseases, improving the sensitivity and specificity of screening indexes is critical. Total immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a traditional index for judging allergic diseases, while its specificity is relatively...

Anti-Interleukin-9 Antibody Increases the Effect of Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy in Murine Allergic Rhinitis.

Allergy, asthma & immunology research

Shin JH, Kim DH, Kim BY, Kim SW, Hwang SH, Lee J, Kim SW.
PMID: 28293930
Allergy Asthma Immunol Res. 2017 May;9(3):237-246. doi: 10.4168/aair.2017.9.3.237.

PURPOSE: Interleukin (IL)-9 induces allergic responses; however, the roles of anti-IL-9 antibody in the induction of tolerance remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of anti-IL-9 antibody on oral tolerance (OT) in a mouse model of allergic rhinitis (AR).METHODS:...

Clinical Characteristics, Treatments, and Prognosis of Atopic Eczema in the Elderly.

Journal of clinical medicine

Tanei R.

J Clin Med. 2015 May 18;4(5):979-97. doi: 10.3390/jcm4050979.

Atopic eczema (AE) in the elderly is gradually increasing and has been added to the classification of AE in recent years. This investigation retrospectively analyzed 60 patients with elderly AE. Among the clinical characteristics, a male predominance, existence of...

Asthma with bronchial hypersecretion: expression of mucins and toll-like receptors in sputum and blood.

Journal of asthma and allergy

Crespo-Lessmann A, Mateus E, Torrejón M, Belda A, Giner J, Vidal S, Sibila O, Plaza V.
PMID: 29066918
J Asthma Allergy. 2017 Oct 12;10:269-276. doi: 10.2147/JAA.S142200. eCollection 2017.

Asthma with bronchial hypersecretion is a type of asthma that is poorly studied. Its pathogenesis is not well understood, but is probably related to innate impaired immunity, particularly with toll-like receptors (TLRs) and secretory mucins (MUC).OBJECTIVES: 1) Define the...

Oral Manifestations of Job's Syndrome in a Paediatric Dental Patient - A Case Report.

Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR

James J, Thekkeveetil AK, Vadakkepurayil K.
