Does unified allergic airway disease impact on lung function and type 2 biomarkers? [PDF]
The concept of the unified allergic airway disease (UAD) recognises the association between allergic inflammation in the upper and lower airways. Patients with asthma and concomitant allergic rhinitis experience more asthma-related primary and secondary ...

The levels and impacting factors of serum amyloid A in the acute exacerbation of allergic asthma [PDF]
Objective To analyze the expression levels of serum amyloid A (SAA) in patients with allergic and non-allergic asthma, and explore the correlation between SAA and acute exacerbation severity and identify biomarkers of allergic asthma.Methods Asthmatic ...

Profiling of H3K27Ac Reveals the Influence of Asthma on the Epigenome of the Airway Epithelium
BackgroundAsthma is a chronic airway disease driven by complex genetic–environmental interactions. The role of epigenetic modifications in bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) in asthma is poorly understood.MethodsWe piloted genome-wide profiling of the ...

Age at asthma diagnosis and onset of symptoms among adults with allergic and non-allergic asthma
Background Childhood-onset allergic asthma is the best-known phenotype of asthma. Adult-onset asthma, also an important entity, is instead often shown to be more non-allergic.

γ-Secretase Inhibitor Alleviates Acute Airway Inflammation of Allergic Asthma in Mice by Downregulating Th17 Cell Differentiation [PDF]
T helper 17 (Th17) cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Th17 cell differentiation requires Notch signaling. γ-Secretase inhibitor (GSI) blocks Notch signaling; thus, it may be considered as a potential treatment for ...

The Endogenous Th17 Response in NO
Severe, glucocorticoid-resistant asthma comprises 5-7% of patients with asthma. IL-17 is a biomarker of severe asthma, and the adoptive transfer of Th17 cells in mice is sufficient to induce glucocorticoid-resistant allergic airway disease.
