Microbial‐Metabolite Signatures Are Associated With Glucocorticoid Responsiveness in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit heterogeneous responses to oral glucocorticoids (GCs), but the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. Objective To identify gut microbiome‒plasma metabolomic signatures associated with GC responsiveness in CRSwNP patients and to compare their ...

High‐Sugar Diet and Intestinal Diseases: A Shared Microbiota–Barrier–Immunity–Metabolism Axis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Food Allergy, and Colorectal Cancer

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global incidence of intestinal diseases—including food allergy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer (CRC)—continues to escalate in parallel with the expansion of the “Western diet,” within which the high‐sugar diet (HSD) has emerged as a pivotal yet under‐recognized dietary driver.

Intranasal administration of ceramide liposome suppresses allergic rhinitis by targeting CD300f in murine models

Scientific Reports
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is caused by type I hypersensitivity reaction in the nasal tissues. The interaction between CD300f and its ligand ceramide suppresses immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mast cell activation.

Betacellulin, a member of the EGF family, ameliorates atopic dermatitis-like symptoms via EGFR–JNK/ERK-mediated activation of autophagy

Allergology International
Background: The expression of betacellulin (BTC), which functions as a ligand for the EGF receptor (EGFR), is markedly reduced in the lesional skin of individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD), and it can improve Th2-type cytokine-mediated impairment of ...

Plummer–Vinson syndrome in a 10‐year‐old boy from Côte d'Ivoire: An exceptional paediatric case with African context

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Plummer–Vinson syndrome (PVS) is characterised by the triad of dysphagia, iron‐deficiency anaemia, and proximal oesophageal webs. While well described in adults, paediatric cases remain exceptionally rare, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa.
