IgE‐mediated food allergy remains a significant and growing problem across the globe. Of the various treatment modalities, oral immunotherapy (OIT) and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) have been the best studied. Across various studies of OIT for egg, milk, and peanut allergy, strong levels of desensitization have been shown. With egg and peanut OIT, a limited remission, or sustained unresponsiveness...
Background
Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds IL‐4Rα and inhibits signaling of both IL‐4 and IL‐13, has shown efficacy across multiple diseases with underlying type 2 signatures and is approved for treatment of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis. We sought to provide a comprehensive analysis of the redundant and distinct roles of IL‐4 and IL‐13...
Background
Surfactant protein D (SPD) is a member of the collectin family that lines the airway epithelial cells with host defense. However, the role of SPD in the pathogenesis of aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is still unclear.
Methods
The serum SPD level was measured in patients with AERD (n = 336), those with aspirin‐tolerant asthma (ATA, n = 442), and healthy controls (HC, n = 104)...
Background
Several studies have demonstrated that allergen‐specific immunotherapy (SIT) can be an effective treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). However, there is no relevant mouse model to investigate the mechanism and validate the novel modality of SIT in AD.
Methods
NC/Nga mice with induced AD‐like skin lesions received a subcutaneous injection of SIT (an extract of the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae...
Background
Clinical presentation of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) is found to be heterogeneous. This study classified phenotypic clusters to determine NERD subtypes.
Methods
We performed two‐step cluster analysis using urticaria, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and atopy, in a NERD cohort comprising 302 patients. Asthma exacerbation was defined as receiving...
Peanut (PN) and tree nuts (TNs) are common causes of anaphylaxis in Western countries, but no information is available in Korea. To feature clinical characteristics of anaphylaxis caused by PN, TNs, and seeds, a retrospective medical record review was performed in 14 university hospitals in Korea (2009–2013). One hundred and twenty‐six cases were identified, with the mean age of 4.9 years. PN, walnut...
Background
Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), whom inherit abnormal function of NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2), suffer from hyperinflammatory responses in lung as well as bacterial and fungal infection. There have been studies to reveal the function of Nox2 in hyperinflammatory diseases, especially in asthma, but the exact role of Nox2 in asthma is still unclear and controversial. Therefore,...
BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is exacerbated by psychological factors, such as stress. We previously reported that corticotrophin‐releasing hormone (CRH) treatment in AD patients decreased the proportion of IL‐10+ Tr1 cells, a subset of inducible regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, changes in the function of Tregs in response to CRH have yet to be studied.
MethodsWe analyzed the total proteins...
BackgroundBacterial flagellin, a Toll‐like receptor 5 agonist, is used as an adjuvant for immunomodulation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect and its mechanism following intralymphatic administration of OVA‐flagellin (FlaB) mixture in the mouse model of allergic rhinitis.
Materials and MethodsBALB/c mice were sensitized with OVA and treated with an OVA‐FlaB mixture via intranasal, sublingual,...
BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical spectrum, and some forms of AD are associated with the initial steps of allergic march. The aims of this study were to determine AD phenotypes in school‐age children and investigate their associations with the allergic march in each cluster.
MethodsWe included 242 children (6–8 years) with current AD from the Children's...
Google Trends (GT) is a Web‐based surveillance tool used to explore the searching trends of specific queries on Google. Recent studies have suggested the utility of GT in predicting outbreaks of influenza and other diseases. However, this utility has not been thoroughly evaluated for allergic diseases. Therefore, we investigated the utility of GT for predicting the epidemiology of allergic rhinitis...
BackgroundSince the recent establishment of a murine model of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), both the development of new drugs for treatment or prevention of eosinophilic CRSwNP and elucidation of their pathogenesis have been feasible. We investigated the therapeutic effects of resveratrol on CRSwNP and its mechanism of action using a murine model.
MethodsAfter induction...
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment for allergic rhinitis.
MethodsThis study was a multicenter, randomized, parallel‐controlled study. Participants were randomized to either the active acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or waitlist groups. The active and sham acupuncture groups received acupuncture treatment three times per week for...
