Abstract: Background: This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic and predictive factors for perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) onset in children by analyzing the results of the Chiba High-risk Birth Cohort for Allergy study, which examined newborns with a family history of allergies. Methods: Overall, 306 pregnant women were recruited. Their newborns were examined by otolaryngologists and pediatric allergists at 1, 2, and 5 years of age. Participants with clinical and laboratory data available at all consultation points were considered eligible. Results: Among 187 eligible participants, the prevalence rates of PAR were 2.1%, 4.3%, and 24.1% at 1, 2, and 5 years of age, respectively. AR-specific nasal local findings and eosinophils in nasal smear were observed in a substantial number of patients with PAR at 1 and 2 years of age. Factors present up to 2 years of age that were associated with PAR onset at 5 years of age, in descending order, were as follows: sensitization to house dust mites (HDM), nasal eosinophilia, and sensitization to cat dander. In 44 cases with HDM sensitization, nasal eosinophilia up to 2 years of age achieved a sensitivity of 76.0% and a specificity of 73.7% for predicting PAR onset at 5 years. Conclusions: Rhinitis findings and nasal eosinophilia are useful auxiliary diagnostic items for pediatric PAR. Sensitization to HDM and nasal eosinophilia were the most influential factors associated with future PAR onset. A combination of these factors may facilitate the prediction of PAR onset.

Abstract: Abstract Objectives IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic autoimmune disease with an unknown etiology, affecting single/multiple organ(s). Pathological findings include the infiltration of IgG4-producing plasma cells, obliterative phlebitis, and storiform fibrosis. Although immunological studies have shed light on the dysregulation of lymphocytes in IgG4-RD pathogenesis, the role of non-immune cells remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the demographics and characteristics of non-immune cells in IgG4-RD and explore potential biomarkers derived from non-immune cells in the sera. Methods We conducted single-cell RNA sequence (scRNA-seq) on non-immune cells isolated from submandibular glands of IgG4-RD patients. We focused on fibroblasts expressing collagen type XV and confirmed the presence of those fibroblasts using immunohistochemistry. Additionally, we measured the levels of collagen type XV in the sera of IgG4-RD patients. Results The scRNA-seq analysis revealed several distinct clusters consisting of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, ductal cells, and muscle cells. Differential gene expression analysis showed upregulation of COL15A1 in IgG4-RD fibroblasts compared to control subjects. Notably, COL15A1-positive fibroblasts exhibited a distinct transcriptome compared to COL15A1-negative counterparts. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed a significant presence of collagen type XV-positive fibroblasts in IgG4-RD patients. Furthermore, immune-suppressive therapy in active IgG4-RD patients resulted in decreased serum levels of collagen type XV. Conclusions Our findings suggest that collagen type XV-producing fibroblasts may represent a disease-characterizing non-immune cell population in IgG4-RD and hold potential as a disease-monitoring marker.

Abstract: AbstractBenign nasal septal tumors are rare and exhibit various histologic features. It is necessary to treat them based on a plan that considers the prognosis, functionality, and esthetics. We report two similar and rare cases of nasal septal tumors with different diagnoses that we treated with nasal septal tumor resection. Eosinophilic angiocentric disease was the most likely diagnosis of one of the two cases, but it was not confirmed by the IgG4:IgG ratio. The other case was diagnosed as extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease based on its histological features. The histological appearance of nasal septal tumors varies widely; therefore, a careful diagnosis based on both clinical and pathological perspectives is required.

Subjects: Chronic rhinosinusitis, Eosinophils, Gene ontology analysis, Multidrug resistance protein, Multiomics, Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease of the nasal cavity and is classified into two major endotypes, which are neutrophilic and eosinophilic. Some patients with neutrophilic and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis are refractory to treatment, and the mechanism of drug resistance is not completely understood. Methods: Nasal polyp samples were collected from patients with non-eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (nECRS) and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were performed simultaneously. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was conducted to extract genes involved in drug resistance. Then, GO analysis results were validated via real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results: The nasal polyps of patients with ECRS were enriched with 110 factors in the genes and 112 in the proteins, unlike in those of patients with nECRS. GO analysis on the combined results of both showed that the factors involved in extracellular transportation were enriched. Our analysis focused on multidrug resistance protein 1–5 (MRP1–5). Real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that the MRP4 expression was significantly upregulated in ECRS polyps. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the MRP3 and MRP4 expressions significantly increased in nECRS and ECRS, respectively. MRP3 and MRP4 expressions were positively correlated with the number of neutrophil and eosinophil infiltrates in polyps and associated with the tendency to relapse in patients with ECRS. Conclusions: MRP is associated with treatment resistance and is expressed in nasal polyps. The expression pattern had different features based on chronic rhinosinusitis endotype. Therefore, drug resistance factors can be associated with therapeutic outcomes.

Subjects: Allergic rhinitis, Cedar pollen, Environmental challenge chamber, Randomized placebo-controlled crossover double-blind study, Shoseiryuto, Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Background: Complementary and alternative medicine, including Japanese traditional medicine (JTM), has been used for various allergic diseases, but the evidence is limited. Shoseiryuto (Xiao-Qing-Long-Tang), one of the representative JTM drugs, is frequently used to treat allergic rhinitis (AR). However, its efficacy for seasonal AR has not been fully established. Using an Environmental challenge chamber (ECC), we evaluated the therapeutic effects of shoseiryuto on AR induced by Japanese cedar pollen (JCP). Methods: A placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study with shoseiryuto was conducted using the ECC. The shoseiryuto or placebo was orally administered from 2 weeks before the exposure test. The pollen exposure test was conducted for 3 h, and the pollen concentration was set at 8000 pollen/m3. The primary endpoint of the study was the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) during pollen exposure. A physician certified by the Japanese Society of Oriental Medicine as a specialist checked each participant's “pattern”, a comprehensive expression of signs obtained from individual patients' subjective symptoms and other personal findings. Blood samples collected just before the first pollen exposure were stimulated with cedar antigens and used for immunological studies. Results: The results of the 46 participants were analyzed, and no significant side effects were detected. There was no significant difference in TNSS during pollen exposure for 3 h in the ECC between the shoseiryuto and placebo groups. However, some symptoms were improved in the shoseiryuto group after leaving the ECC. There was no significant correlation between the “fluid retention pattern” and TNSS. In immunological studies, shoseiryuto did not inhibit Th2-type cytokine production and mRNA expression. Conclusions: Oral administration of shoseiryuto from 2 weeks before pollen exposure did not prevent or inhibit immediate symptoms of AR induced by JCP in the ECC. Further study is needed to reevaluate the shoseiryuto specific “pattern” in JTM.

Subjects: sublingual immunotherapy, Japanese cedar pollinosis, biomarker, Medicine
Abstract: Sublingual immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis can improve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and modify its natural course. However, sublingual immunotherapy requires a long treatment period and some patients do not respond to treatment. In this study, we aimed to identify biomarkers that could predict the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy at an early stage. In this study, 40 patients from phase III trials were recruited and divided into good and poor response groups. Using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from before and two months after the start of medication, microarray, discriminant analysis, and real-time polymerase chain reaction were performed to extract candidate genes that could be biomarkers. Furthermore, these genes were validated in 30 patients in general clinical practice. Complement factor H was upregulated in the good response group and downregulated in the poor response group. Complement factor H may be a useful biomarker for predicting the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis at early time points after treatment initiation.

Abstract: Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is a rare malignant salivary gland tumor, and its prognosis is determined by the histological progression beyond the adenoma capsule. However, a preoperative evaluation of the histological progression remains challenging, and there is no consensus regarding treatment strategies for CXPA. Herein, we aimed to predict the histological progression preoperatively and develop an appropriate treatment strategy for CXPA. We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients with parotid gland CXPA recorded at our hospital. The clinicopathological characteristics were assessed, and survival analysis was performed. T3≤ or N+ were common in widely invasive CXPA (WICXPA) (p < 0.05). A tumor diameter > 40 mm and the N+ status were associated with poor prognosis considering overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence rate (LRC) (p < 0.05). Patients with facial nerve paralysis exhibited better OS and LRC than those without facial nerve paralysis. More than 90% of patients with WICXPA experienced distant metastases. Meanwhile, there were no cases of recurrence or death due to intracapsular and minimally invasive CXPA. A preoperative advanced T stage or N+ status was suspected as WICXPA. Tumors > 40 mm in size and N+ status necessitate high-intensity local treatment. Facial nerve invasion can be controlled by nerve resection. Postoperative systemic therapy could control distant metastases.

Subjects: Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Background: Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an established efficacious approach for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). However, SLIT requires a long administration period to establish stable and adequate responses. This study investigated the efficacy of the sublingual administration of an allergen with liposomes enclosing α-GalCer (α-GC-liposome) as a potential adjuvant in mice with AR. Methods: Mice with AR induced by OVA received the sublingual administration of OVA, α-GC-liposomes, or OVA plus α-GC-liposomes for 7 days. After nasal re-challenge with OVA, nasal symptoms were evaluated. The serum levels of OVA-specific Ig, the cytokine production of CD4+ T cells in the cultures of cervical lymph node (CLN) cells, and the gene expression of CLNs were analyzed. Results: Although IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 production from CD4+ T cells in CLN cells was significantly inhibited by the sublingual administration of OVA alone in mice with AR induced by OVA, their nasal symptoms were not significantly diminished. However, the combined sublingual administration of α-GC-liposomes and OVA completely suppressed nasal symptoms, downregulated Th2 and Th17 type cytokine production in CD4+ T cells as well as Th2 and Th17 gene expressions, and upregulated Th1 type cytokine production as well as Th1 gene expressions in CLN cells. Additionally, the serum levels of specific IgG2a were promoted, and specific IgE and IgG1 were inhibited. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the sublingual administration of an allergen with α-GC-liposomes as an adjuvant might increase the therapeutic efficacy and effectiveness of this treatment method.

Subjects: environmental challenge chamber (ECC), Japanese cedar pollinosis, seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR), validation study, α chamber, Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Background: An environmental challenge chamber (ECC), which we refer to as the α-chamber, was built at Chiba University in 2008. The aim of this study was to validate the functionality of the ECC. Methods: The stability of the pollen distribution and concentration in the ECC and symptoms of patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis induced by cedar pollen exposure were examined. Carryover effects of symptoms induced by different exposure protocols and correlations between symptoms induced in the ECC and those in the natural cedar pollen season were also determined. All the studies using the α-chamber were conducted out of the cedar pollen season. Results: The severity of symptoms in the chamber reached a peak about 2 hours after the start of pollen exposure and plateaued thereafter. After subjects left the chamber, the symptoms persisted for several days. There was no significant difference between the severity of symptoms at exposure levels of 8000 and 12000 grains/m3. The symptoms were significantly increased by exposure for 3 consecutive days; however, there were no carryover effects in a study performed with a two-week interval. The total nasal symptom score (TNSS) in the natural pollen season showed a weak correlation with the mean TNSS on the day of exposure and the following 3 days. Symptoms in the ECC also had weak correlations with those in the early natural pollen season. Conclusions: The ECC under well-controlled conditions is suitable for clinical studies and might accelerate development of treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis. A complete evaluation requires inclusion of the persistent reaction after subjects leave the ECC.

Abstract: Uncontrolled type 2 immunity by type 2 helper T (Th2) cells causes intractable allergic diseases; however, whether the interaction of CD4+ T cells shapes the pathophysiology of allergic diseases remains unclear. We identified a subset of Th2 cells that produced the serine proteases granzyme A and B early in differentiation. Granzymes cleave protease-activated receptor (Par)-1 and induce phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), resulting in the enhanced production of IL-5 and IL-13 in both mouse and human Th2 cells. Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) regulates IL-4-induced phosphorylation of STAT3, resulting in granzyme production during Th2 cell differentiation. Genetic deletion of Usp7 or Gzma and pharmacological blockade of granzyme B ameliorated allergic airway inflammation. Furthermore, PAR-1+ and granzyme+ Th2 cells were colocalized in nasal polyps from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. Thus, the USP7-STAT3-granzymes-Par-1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target for intractable allergic diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Allergic rhinitis is a growing problem worldwide. Currently the only treatment that can modify the disease is antigen-specific immunotherapy, but its mechanism of action is not fully understood.We comprehensively investigated the role and changes of antigen-specific T cells before and after sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for Japanese cedar pollinosis.We cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained both before and 1 year after initiating SLIT and used a combination of single-cell RNA sequencing and repertoire sequencing. To investigate biomarkers, we used cells from patients participating a phase 2/3 trial of SLIT tablets for Japanese cedar pollinosis and cells from outpatients with good and poor response.Antigen-stimulated culturing after SLIT led to clonal expansion of TThe combination of single-cell RNA sequencing and repertoire analysis helped reveal part of the underlying mechanism: SLIT promotes the expression of MSC on pathogenic T

Abstract: Background: No comparative study of antihistamines that differ in structural system has been conducted in allergic rhinitis. Objective: This was a randomized, double-blind, crossover comparative study to verify the efficacy of antihistamines that differ in structural system. Methods: A total of 50 patients with moderate or more severe Japanese cedar pollen-induced allergic rhinitis were randomized to receive either placebo, desloratadine 5 mg (a tricyclic), or levocetirizine 5 mg (a piperazine). One dose of the study drug was orally administered at 9 pm on the day before a pollen exposure test, which was performed for 3 h (9 a.m. to 12 p.m.) to assess symptoms in an environmental challenge chamber (ECC). Nasal and ocular symptoms were compared at an airborne pollen level of 8,000 grains/m3. The primary endpoint was mean total nasal symptom score (TNSS) from 120 to 180 min in the ECC. Subjects with a difference of ≥1 in TNSS between 2 drugs were extracted to the relevant drug-responsive group. Results: The difference in TNSS from placebo was –2.42 (p < 0.0001) with levocetirizine and –1.66 (p < 0.01) with desloratadine, showing that both drugs were significantly more effective than placebo in controlling symptoms, but with no statistically significant difference between the 2 drugs. There were 12 subjects in the desloratadine-responsive group and 24 subjects in the levocetirizine-responsive group, with no contributor to response was detected. Conclusion: Levocetirizine tended to control nasal symptoms more effectively than desloratadine. However, the response to each antihistamine varied among individuals and the predictors to the response are unknown. Clinical Trial Registration number: UMIN ID: UMIN000029653.

Abstract: International audience; In all societies, the burden and cost of allergic and chronic respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly. Most economies are struggling to deliver modern health care effectively. There is a need to support the transformation of the health care system for integrated care with organizational health literacy. MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) (1), a new development of the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) initiative, and POLLAR (Impact of Air POLLution on Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health) (2), in collaboration with professional and patient organizations in the field of allergy and airway diseases, are proposing real-life integrated care pathways (ICPs) (3)-centred around the patient with rhinitis and using mHealth monitoring of environmental exposure (4).An expert meeting took place at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, December 3, 2018. The aim was to discuss next-generation care pathways: (I) Patient participation, health literacy and self-care through technology-assisted “patient activation”; (II) Implementation of care pathways by pharmacists and (III) Next-generation guidelines assessing the recommendations of GRADE guidelines in rhinitis and asthma using real-world evidence (RWE) assessed by mobile technology.The EU (5) and global political agendas are of great importance in supporting health care transformation. MASK has been recognized by DG Santé as a Good Practice (6) in the field of digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care.The one-day meeting objectives were clear (Figure 1). The meeting was followed by a workshop. The present paper reports the background of the two-day meeting.

32. Evaluation of shoseiryuto for seasonal allergic rhinitis, using an environmental challenge chamber

Author: Junya Kurita, Syuji Yonekura, Tomohisa Iinuma, Riyo Yoneda, Sakiko Imamoto, Toyoyuki Hanazawa, Yohei Kawasaki, Takao Namiki, and Yoshitaka Okamoto
Subjects: Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Immunology, Immunology and Allergy
Abstract: Complementary and alternative medicine, including Japanese traditional medicine (JTM), has been used for various allergic diseases, but the evidence is limited. Shoseiryuto (Xiao-Qing-Long-Tang), one of the representative JTM drugs, is frequently used to treat allergic rhinitis (AR). However, its efficacy for seasonal AR has not been fully established. Using an Environmental challenge chamber (ECC), we evaluated the therapeutic effects of shoseiryuto on AR induced by Japanese cedar pollen (JCP).A placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study with shoseiryuto was conducted using the ECC. The shoseiryuto or placebo was orally administered from 2 weeks before the exposure test. The pollen exposure test was conducted for 3 h, and the pollen concentration was set at 8000 pollen/mThe results of the 46 participants were analyzed, and no significant side effects were detected. There was no significant difference in TNSS during pollen exposure for 3 h in the ECC between the shoseiryuto and placebo groups. However, some symptoms were improved in the shoseiryuto group after leaving the ECC. There was no significant correlation between the "fluid retention pattern" and TNSS. In immunological studies, shoseiryuto did not inhibit Th2-type cytokine production and mRNA expression.Oral administration of shoseiryuto from 2 weeks before pollen exposure did not prevent or inhibit immediate symptoms of AR induced by JCP in the ECC. Further study is needed to reevaluate the shoseiryuto specific "pattern" in JTM.

Abstract: Background Although there are many asymptomatic patients, one of the problems of COVID-19 is early recognition of the disease. COVID-19 symptoms are polymorphic and may include upper respiratory symptoms. However, COVID-19 symptoms may be mistaken with the common cold or allergic rhinitis. An ARIA-EAACI study group attempted to differentiate upper respiratory symptoms between the three diseases. Methods A modified Delphi process was used. The ARIA members who were seeing COVID-19 patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire on the upper airway symptoms of COVID-19, common cold and allergic rhinitis. Results Among the 192 ARIA members who were invited to respond to the questionnaire, 89 responded and 87 questionnaires were analysed. The consensus was then reported. A two-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in the symptom intensity between the three diseases (p < .001). Conclusions This modified Delphi approach enabled the differentiation of upper respiratory symptoms between COVID-19, the common cold and allergic rhinitis. An electronic algorithm will be devised using the questionnaire.

Abstract: Allergen exposure chambers (AECs) can be used for controlled exposure to allergenic and non-allergenic airborne particles in an enclosed environment, in order to (i) characterize the pathological features of respiratory diseases and (ii) contribute to and accelerate the clinical development of pharmacological treatments and allergen immunotherapy for allergic disease of the respiratory tract (such as allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and allergic asthma). In the guidelines of the European Medicines Agency for the clinical development of products for allergen immunotherapy (AIT), the role of AECs in determining primary endpoints in dose-finding Phase II trials is emphasized. Although methodologically insulated from the variability of natural pollen exposure, chamber models remain confined to supporting secondary, rather than primary, endpoints in Phase III registration trials. The need for further validation in comparison with field exposure is clearly mandated. On this basis, the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) initiated a Task Force in 2015 charged to gain a better understanding of how AECs can generate knowledge about respiratory allergies and can contribute to the clinical development of treatments. Researchers working with AECs worldwide were asked to provide technical information in eight sections: (i) dimensions and structure of the AEC, (ii) AEC staff, (iii) airflow, air processing, and operating conditions, (iv) particle dispersal, (v) pollen/particle counting, (vi) safety and non-contamination measures, (vii) procedures for symptom assessments, (viii) tested allergens/substances and validation procedures. On this basis, a minimal set of technical requirements for AECs applied to the field of allergology is proposed.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease, and its pathogenesis remains controversial. This study aimed to examine the involvement of fungi in CRSwNP pathogenesis. METHODS We enrolled 29 controls and 111 CRSwNP patients. We analyzed fungi in the nasal secretions, serum fungus-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, and nasal polyp (NP) IgE levels. Moreover, we evaluated the correlation between patients' IgE levels and computed tomography (CT) scores. RESULTS There was no difference in fungal detection rate between CRSwNP patients with and without asthma. Specific IgEs against various antigens were highly detectable in NPs of CRSwNP patients. In CRSwNP patients, fungus-specific IgE levels in NPs were correlated with CT scores. Serum fungus-specific IgEs became undetectable after operation in more than half of the CRSwNP patients without asthma but not in those with asthma. Other serum airborne antigen-specific IgEs did not become undetectable after operation. CONCLUSIONS Fungus-specific IgEs were highly detectable in NPs of CRSwNP patients, and NPs comprised a major region of specific IgE production. Fungi may therefore play an important role in CRSwNP pathogenesis by inducing Th2 immune responses, including IgE synthesis.

Abstract: Background Although Th2 cells are well known to play important roles in allergic diseases including allergic rhinitis (AR), the factors that induce and sustain the pathogenesis of AR remain unclear. The recent development of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is expected to allow changes to the underlying pathogenesis of AR. However, which Th2 cell subsets are important in house dust mite-induced AR (HDM-AR), the influence of SLIT on the pathogenic Th2 cells, and the association of Th2 cell subsets with SLIT efficacy have not been clarified. Methods The cytokine production and frequency of HDM-reactive T-cell subsets in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were evaluated using flow cytometry in 89 HDM-AR patients (placebo [n = 43] and HDM 300 IR [n = 46]) who participated in a placebo-controlled study of SLIT with HDM tablets. All patients provided samples both before treatment as a baseline and at the end of the 52-week study. The PBMCs were stained with CellTrace™ Violet (CTV) before culture with HDM extract, and HDM-reactive T cells were detected as the proliferated cells with diminished CTV. Results HDM-reactive IL-5+ IL-13+ CD27- CD161+ CD4+ cells and ST2+ CD45RO+ CD4+ cells were observed in the peripheral blood from each patient with HDM-AR; these cells significantly decreased after SLIT in the group treated with active tablets. HDM-reactive ST2+ CD45RO+ CD4+ cells were significantly lower in active-responders. Conclusion Allergen-reactive ST2+ CD45RO+ CD4+ cells or those combined with IL-5+ IL-13+ CD27- CD161+ CD4+ cells may be useful as markers indicating the successful treatment of SLIT. These cells may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AR as pathogenic memory Th2 cells.

Abstract: Background: The severity of symptoms of pollen-induced allergic rhinitis is affected by the amount of scattered pollen. However, the relationships between the pollen dispersal pattern, symptom severity, and treatment efficacy are not clear. Methods: Between 2007 and 2012, we performed 4 randomized, placebo-controlled studies of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) on patients with Japanese cedar-induced allergic rhinitis who lived in or around Chiba, Japan. The participants were asked to avoid using rescue medicines during the cedar pollen season as much as possible and to record their nasal symptoms in allergy diaries. The amount of pollen dispersed daily was quantified using the Durham method, and the season was divided into early and late periods based on the pollen count. Results: A total of 721 patients were enrolled in the 4 studies during the 6-year study period. In the placebo group (n = 349), a correlation was observed between the amount of pollen dispersed and the severity of symptoms in the early but not late period of pollen dispersal. Treatment with SLIT (n = 372) significantly improved symptom severity in the late but not early period. Conclusion: For patients with Japanese cedar pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, the fluctuation of daily pollen dispersal had a minimal effect on the severity of symptoms during the late period. SLIT was remarkably effective in alleviating symptoms during this period but not in the early period.

Abstract: Due to the strong tumoricidal activities of activated natural killer T (NKT) cells, invariant NKT cell-based immunotherapy has shown promising clinical efficacy. However, suppressive factors, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), may be obstacles in the use of NKT cell-based cancer immunotherapy for advanced cancer patients. Here, we investigated the suppressive effects of Tregs on NKT cells and the underlying mechanisms with the aim to improve the antitumor activities of NKT cells.Peripheral blood samples were obtained from healthy donors, patients with benign tumors, and patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). NKT cells, induced with α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), and monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) were co-cultured with naïve CD4Treg suppression on NKT cell function required cell-to-cell contact and was mediated via impaired DC maturation. NKT cells cultured under Treg-enriched conditions showed a decrease in CD4Tregs exert suppressive effects on NKT cell tumoricidal function by inducing more CD4

Abstract: In all societies, the burden and cost of allergic and chronic respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly. Most economies are struggling to deliver modern health care effectively. There is a need to support the transformation of the health care system into integrated care with organizational health literacy. MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) (1), a new development of the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) initiative (2), and POLLAR (Impact of Air POLLution on Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health) (3), in collaboration with professional and patient organizations in the field of allergy and airway diseases, are proposing real-life ICPs—centred around the patient with rhinitis and using mHealth monitoring of environmental exposure. An expert meeting took place at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, December 3, 2018. The aim was to discuss nextgeneration care pathways following an ongoing political agenda (4,5): (I) patient participation, health literacy and self-care through technology-assisted “patient activation”; (II) implementation of care pathways by pharmacists and (III) Next-generation guidelines assessing the recommendations of GRADE guidelines in rhinitis and asthma using real-world evidence (RWE) assessed by mobile technology. The present document reviews the workshop report and follows on from Part 1.

Abstract: The selection of pharmacotherapy for patients with allergic rhinitis aims to control the disease and depends on many factors. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines have considerably improved the treatment of allergic rhinitis. However, there is an increasing trend toward use of real-world evidence to inform clinical practice, especially because randomized controlled trials are often limited with regard to the applicability of results. The Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif (MACVIA) algorithm has proposed an allergic rhinitis treatment by a consensus group. This simple algorithm can be used to step up or step down allergic rhinitis treatment. Next-generation guidelines for the pharmacologic treatment of allergic rhinitis were developed by using existing GRADE-based guidelines for the disease, real-world evidence provided by mobile technology, and additive studies (allergen chamber studies) to refine the MACVIA algorithm. ispartof: JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY vol:145 issue:1 pages:70-+ ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is a proven therapeutic option for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. Many guidelines or national practice guidelines have been produced but the evidence-based method varies, many are complex and none propose care pathways. This paper reviews care pathways for AIT using strict criteria and provides simple recommendations that can be used by all stakeholders including health professionals. The decision to prescribe AIT for the patient should be individualized and based on the relevance of the allergens, the persistence of symptoms despite appropriate medications according to guidelines as well as on the availability of good-quality and efficacious extracts. Allergen extracts cannot be regarded as generics. Immunotherapy is selected by specialists for stratified patients. There are no currently available validated biomarkers that can predict AIT success. In adolescents and adults, AIT should be reserved for patients with moderate/severe rhinitis or for those with moderate asthma who, despite appropriate pharmacotherapy and adherence, continue to exhibit exacerbations that appear to be related to allergen exposure, except in some specific cases. Immunotherapy may be even more advantageous in patients with multimorbidity. In children, AIT may prevent asthma onset in patients with rhinitis. mHealth tools are promising for the stratification and follow up of patients. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract: Background: Biomarkers that enable objective evaluation of the clinical effects of immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis have yet to be identified. Methods: This study included 40 patients who were enrolled in a large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study examining the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) using Japanese cedar (JC) pollen extract during two consecutive pollen seasons from 2010 to 2012. Based on changes in total nasal symptom medication score, patients in the SLIT and placebo groups were subdivided into two subgroups: good responders and poor responders. The levels of JC pollen-specific IL-10+Foxp3+ cells and specific Th2 cytokine-producing cells were measured and the association with the efficacy of SLIT was analysed. Results: The total nasal symptom medication score was significantly lower in the SLIT group compared with the placebo group. The number of JC pollen-specific Th2 cytokine-producing cells increased during the pollen season in the placebo group and in poor responders in the SLIT group; however, the increases were inhibited in the good responders in the SLIT group. The number of JC pollen-specific IL-10+Foxp3+ cells increased only in these good responders. Conclusions: Changes in levels of allergen-specific Th2 cytokine-producing cells and IL-10+Foxp3+ cells could be objective biomarkers for SLIT.

Abstract: Background Immediate- and late-phase reactions are associated with nasal symptoms of patients with allergic rhinitis. Objective To examine the symptoms and mediators released after continuous allergen exposure in an environmental challenge chamber (ECC). Methods Fifteen patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis were enrolled in this study and continuously exposed to cedar pollen at a concentration of 8,000 grains/m 3 for 3 hours in an ECC. Nasal function tests were performed, and nasal secretions were collected before pollen exposure (0 hour), immediately after exiting the ECC (3 hours), and 6 hours after exiting the ECC (9 hours). Symptom scores were recorded every 30 minutes in the ECC and every 3 hours after exiting the ECC. The frequency of sneezing and nose blowing also was monitored. Results The severity of symptoms in the ECC peaked approximately 2 hours after the beginning of pollen exposure and continued more than 6 hours after leaving the ECC. Concentrations of histamine, tryptase, interleukins 5, 3, 33, and 31, and substance P increased over time, whereas that of nasal fractional exhaled nitric oxide decreased. Conclusion Various mediators are released during continuous allergen exposure, which subsequently induce persistent nasal symptoms. Effective treatment is required to control the intense inflammation observed after allergen exposure.

Abstract: Background: Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an established efficacious approach for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). However, SLIT requires a long administration period to establish stable and adequate responses. This study investigated the efficacy of the sublingual administration of an allergen with liposomes enclosing α-GalCer (α-GC-liposome) as a potential adjuvant in mice with AR. Methods: Mice with AR induced by OVA received the sublingual administration of OVA, α-GC-liposomes, or OVA plus α-GC-liposomes for 7 days. After nasal re-challenge with OVA, nasal symptoms were evaluated. The serum levels of OVA-specific Ig, the cytokine production of CD4+ T cells in the cultures of cervical lymph node (CLN) cells, and the gene expression of CLNs were analyzed. Results: Although IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 production from CD4+ T cells in CLN cells was significantly inhibited by the sublingual administration of OVA alone in mice with AR induced by OVA, their nasal symptoms were not significantly diminished. However, the combined sublingual administration of α-GC-liposomes and OVA completely suppressed nasal symptoms, downregulated Th2 and Th17 type cytokine production in CD4+ T cells as well as Th2 and Th17 gene expressions, and upregulated Th1 type cytokine production as well as Th1 gene expressions in CLN cells. Additionally, the serum levels of specific IgG2a were promoted, and specific IgE and IgG1 were inhibited. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the sublingual administration of an allergen with α-GC-liposomes as an adjuvant might increase the therapeutic efficacy and effectiveness of this treatment method.

Abstract: Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disease of uncertain pathogenesis. Memory T cells acquire additional functions during the secondary response and play important roles in chronic inflammation. Objective To investigate characteristics of tissue memory CD4 + T cells obtained from patients with noneosinophilic CRSwNP (NECRS) and eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRS) by focusing on the influence of interleukin (IL)-25. Methods Pro-allergic cytokines in tissue homogenates were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. NP mononuclear cells and CD4 + T cells were isolated from NPs from patients with CRSwNP. Cytokine expression and CD4 + T-cell subpopulations were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results The IL-25 level in NPs increased in patients with ECRS. IL-5 and IL-9 mRNA levels expressed by tissue CD4 + T cells were significantly elevated in patients with ECRS. Most infiltrating CD4 + T cells in ECRS and NECRS expressed CD45RO; however, regardless of the atopic status, high IL-17RB levels were detected in CD4 + T cells from patients with ECRS. IL-17RB mRNA levels expressed by tissue CD4 + T cells significantly correlated with the number of eosinophils in NPs. Elevation of IL-5 and IL-9 production was found in NP mononuclear cells from patients with ECRS, but not in those from patients with NECRS, by stimulation with IL-25 under T-cell receptor stimulation. Conclusion Interleukin-25 and a subpopulation of tissue T-helper type 2 and 9 cells that express increased IL-17RB levels could contribute to infiltration of eosinophils in NPs and could have produced the pathologic difference between NECRS and ECRS.
