Methods
A community‐based, cross‐sectional...
Background
Clinical management of shrimp allergy is hampered by the lack of accurate tests. Molecular diagnosis has been shown to more accurately reflect the clinical reactivity but the full spectrum of shrimp allergens and their clinical relevance are yet to be established. We therefore sought to comprehend the allergen repertoire of shrimp, investigate and compare the sensitization pattern and...
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) provides a common language for use worldwide as a diagnostic and classification tool for epidemiology, clinical purposes and health management. Since its first edition, the ICD has maintained a framework distributing conditions according to topography, with the result that some complex conditions, such as allergies and hypersensitivity disorders (A/H)...
Background
Little is known about the prevalence of food allergy (FA) in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the disparity of FA between urban and rural areas in southern China.
Methods
EuroPrevall questionnaire responses were obtained from 5542 school‐age children in urban Guangzhou and 5319 in rural Shaoguan. A case‐control study enrolled 190 children with adverse reactions (ARs) after...
Background
Data are lacking regarding the prevalence of food sensitization and probable food allergy among general population in India. We report the prevalence of sensitization and probable food allergy to 24 common foods among adults from general population in Karnataka, South India.
Methodology
The study was conducted in two stages: a screening study and a case–control study. A total of 11 791...
BackgroundIL‐35, a new member of the IL‐12 family, is an inhibitory cytokine produced by regulatory T and B lymphocytes that play a suppressive role in the inflammatory diseases.
This study focuses on the cellular mechanism regulating the anti‐inflammatory activity of IL‐35 in asthmatic mice.
MethodsOvalbumin‐induced asthmatic and humanized asthmatic mice were adopted to evaluate the in vivo anti‐inflammatory...
BackgroundWe conducted Phase 2 of the Asthma Insights and Reality in the Asia‐Pacific (AIRIAP 2) survey in 2006 to determine the level of asthma control in this region and the validity of the Asthma Control Test™ (ACT) and childhood ACT (C‐ACT) in relation to asthma control.
MethodsPediatric participants (0 to <16 years; N = 988) with diagnosed asthma and current asthma symptoms or taking anti‐asthma...
