the safety of nasal allergen challenge test assessed in lower airways

چکیده
the aim of the study was to assess the safety of nasal allergen challenge, and the use of certain parameters applied in assessing the condition of the respiratory system. we enrolled 30 patients diagnosed with allergy to common environmental allergens and 30 healthy controls. the safety of nasal challenge tests with an allergen was assessed by measuring the concentration of exhaled nitric oxide from the lower respiratory tract (eno) and forced expiratory volume in one second (fev1) in a spirometry test. in the early phase of the allergic reaction, extra-nasal symptoms were observed, namely cough and breathlessness. these measured symptoms using the vas scale, were far more frequent in the patients diagnosed with perennial allergic rhinitis. the eno and fev1 values in the spirometry test did not show any statistically significant changes. no correlation was observed between the breathlessness and cough complaints to the eno concentration levels (cough: r=0.019, p=0.921; breathlessness: r=-0.088, p=0.644) nor the fev1 level (cough: r=0.002, p=0.983; breathlessness: r=-0.072, p=0.751) in the spirometry test. in the early phase of the allergic reaction, nasal allergen challenge do not cause any significant changes in the lower airways, as measured with the use of certain parameters applied in assessing the function of the lower airways’ function.

Elevated serum levels of antigen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E are often associated with allergic respiratory diseases. This parallel-group, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was designed to study the influence of omalizumab on the early nasal response to allergen challenge reflected by symptom score and inflammatory marker levels in nasal lavage fluid (NAL). A total of 23 pati...

Two studies were undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of three thixotropic nasal sprays (IQM11, IQM12, IQM13) on seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). The three nasal sprays differ only with respect to the emulsifying agent used in the formulation. In the prospective, randomized, cross-over pilot study, 16 patients with a history of SAR received 2 x 0.14 ml IQM11 per nostril or no treatment...

BACKGROUND IL-4 and IL-13 play a critical yet poorly understood role in orchestrating the recruitment and activation of effector cells of the asthmatic response and driving the pathophysiology of allergic asthma. The house dust mite (HDM) sheep asthma model displays many features of the human condition and is an ideal model to further elucidate the involvement of these critical Th2 cytokines. W...
