Effect of fexofenadine hydrochloride on cedar pollinosis

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2003
To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of fexofenadine hydrochloride (Allegra(R) tablets), an antihistaminic launched in 2001, in patients with cedar pollinosis by dividing them into two groups for comparison, i.e. the early-treatment group in which treatment was started before the initial day of the pollen scattering, and the therapeutic-treatment ...

Experimental Cedar Pollinosis in Rhesus Monkeys

International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology, 2009
In order to develop an experimental model for human cedar pollinosis, 4 rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were subcutaneously immunized with crude cedar pollen antigen, which contained 1.0 μg or 10 μg protein with aluminium hydroxide gel, six times every month. All 4 animals showed immediate-type cutaneous reactivity. Serum IgE antibody responses against

Approaches to immunotherapies for Japanese cedar pollinosis

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2011
Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica; CJ) pollinosis is a typical type I allergy induced by CJ pollen and one of the most common allergic diseases in Japan. New immunotherapies have been developed for treatment of CJ pollinosis. We focus here on new immunotherapies for CJ pollinosis including sublingual immunotherapy with crude extract of CJ antigen ...

Parasite infection and Japanese cedar pollinosis in monkeys

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1999
To evaluate the relationship between helminthic parasite infection and sensitization to Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica; CJ) pollen allergens in Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata), we examined the parasite infection, presence of anti-pollen allergen IgE and development of pollinosis.

Analysis of Natural History of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2003
<i>Background:</i> The marked increase in the incidence of Japanese cedar (<i>Cryptomeria japonica;</i> JC) pollinosis is a social problem in Japan. Elucidation of its natural history is, therefore, essential. <i>Methods:</i> Cross-sectional and vertical-sectional studies were performed regarding the effects of aging

The natural history of mountain cedar pollinosis

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1984
During the winter months, pollen from the mountain cedar (MC) (Juniperus sabinoides) causes severe respiratory tract allergy in central Texas. We have been impressed with the fact that many of our MC-allergic patients had only allergic rhinitis and were only sensitive to MC pollen.

Epidemiology of Japanese cedar pollinosis throughout Japan

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2003
Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP) is a common disease posing a major public health problem in Japan. For health care policy planning and development of new treatment modalities, investigation of the accurate prevalence and current status of JCP nationwide is imperative.To ascertain the prevalence and the current status of JCP in Japan with use of a cross-

Smoking and Risk of Cedar Pollinosis in Japanese Men and Women

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2008
<i>Background:</i> Pollinosis induced by the cedar pollen antigen is the most common seasonal allergic reaction in Japan. We aimed to examine the relationship between smoking and risk of cedar pollinosis in a population-based cohort of the Japanese. <i>Methods:</i> Study subjects were 12,221 men and women from the Takayama Study

Platelet-activating factor in Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Journal of lipid mediators, 1990
The concentration of lyso-PAF in serum from untreated patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis, a typical allergic disease, was significantly higher than that in healthy controls. It was also found that the lyso-PAF level in serum from Japanese cedar pollinosis significantly decreased after therapy with ketotifen, an anti-allergic drug.

Prevalence of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis among Schoolchildren in Japan

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2002
<i>Background:</i> Japanese cedar pollinosis is an important allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in Japan in spring. We investigated the relationship between the amount of pollen in the air and the prevalence of the disease and sensitization to Japanese cedar pollen in this ecological study. <i>Methods:</i> The IgE antibody to Japanese
