Decreased Production of Tissue Plasminogen Activator in Endothelial Cells From Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by excessive fibrin deposition which is related to impaired production of tissue plasminogen activator(t‐PA) by epithelial cells.

Distinct Nasal Microbiome Profiles and Prediction Model for Allergic Rhinitis, Nonallergic Rhinitis, and Healthy Children

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
The alpha and beta diversity of the nasal microbiome differed among children with allergic rhinitis (AR), nonallergic rhinitis (NAR), and healthy controls (HCs). Compared to HC, AR had more Escherichia‐Shigella, Negativicoccus, and Campylobacter, while NAR had more Dolosigranulum and fewer Enterobacteriaceae.

What's the best approach to diagnosing food allergies in infants? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A well-designed oral food challenge (OFC) is the most reliable diagnostic test for infants whose clinical history and physical examination suggest a specific food allergy (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, consensus guidelines)

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of asthma in ethnically diverse North American populations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Asthma is a common disease with a complex risk architecture including both genetic and environmental factors. We performed a meta-analysis of North American genome-wide association studies of asthma in 5,416 individuals with asthma (cases) including ...

Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...

Obesity Impairs Skin Barrier Function and Facilitates Allergic Sensitization in Mice

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Diet‐induced obesity increases transepidermal water loss and compromises barrier function through downregulation of tight junctions and desmosomes. During obesity, MC903 elicits a mixed Th1/2/17 immune response in the skin leading to aggravated ear swelling.

The Nasal Microbiome and Associations With Environmental Exposures and Respiratory Health

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the association of the nasal microbiome with air pollutants, meteorological conditions, and respiratory health in adolescents. Bacterial diversity is positively associated with hay fever and short‐term NO2 exposure, and negatively with temperature. A Moraxella‐dominated nasotype is linked to lower O3 exposure and higher temperature
