T-Cell Immune Responses and Immunological Factors Associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 Progression as Predictors for the Severity of the Disease in Hospitalized Patients
Discussion: The present study showed that the overexpression of T-bet, GATA3, and ROR γt, as well as a decrease in the FoxP3 expression was associated with the severity and fatal outcome of COVID-19.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

M2 Macrophages Upregulated by Allergen Exposure in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
Conclusion: Significant M2 macrophage polarization was promoted when patients with SAR were exposed to the allergen, either naturally exposed in pollen seasons or subjectively continuously exposed during the course of SLIT.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

A Systematic Review of Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food-induced hypersensitivity disorder that occurs mostly in infants. Long considered a rare disease, a recent increase in physician awareness and publication of diagnosis of guidelines has resulted in an increase in recognized FPIES cases. We aimed to conduct a systematic review of FPIES studies in the past 10 years. A search was conducted on PubMed and Embase in March 2022. Our systematic review focused on 2 domains: (1) the most reported FPIES food triggers; and (2) the resolution rate and median age at resolution of patients with...

Risk Factors of Challenge-Proven Beta-Lactam Allergy in Children with Immediate and Non-Immediate Mild Cutaneous Reactions
Conclusion: This study highlighted that OCTs should be performed to confirm the diagnosis in patients suspected of immediate and non-immediate mild cutaneous reactions to BLs and remove the overestimated “BL allergy” label. In these patients, a history of proven drug allergy might be a risk factor for true BL allergy.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Poly(I:C) Exacerbates Airway Goblet Cell Hyperplasia and Lung Inflammation in HDM-Exposed Balb/C Mice by YAP/FOXM1 Pathway
Conclusion: Poly(I:C) promotes airway epithelial goblet cell hyperplasia, mucus hypersecretion, and airway hyperresponsiveness. It also upregulates the expression of inflammatory factors in lung tissue and BALF in asthmatic mice by the YAP/FOXM1 pathway, resulting in asthma attacks.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Asthma in Japan Using a JMDC Claims Database
Conclusions: In Japan, the prevalence rate of patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, as per JGL or GINA in the JMDC database, increased from 2010 to 2019. The demographics and clinical characteristics were similar in both cohorts over the assessment duration.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Relationship between Eosinophilic and Neutrophilic Inflammation in Chinese Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps
Conclusion: Tissue neutrophils might have a potential interaction and mutual promotion effect with eosinophils in CRSwNP. However, tissue neutrophilia would not pose significant risk for poor disease control after ESS. Further larger, prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Epithelial Barrier in the Nasal Mucosa, Related Risk Factors and Diseases
As the first line of defense against risk factors, the nasal epithelial barrier maintains homeostasis in nasal mucosa. The composition of the epithelial barrier contains physical, chemical, immune, and microbiological barriers. Together, these barriers form the nasal defense against irritations. Risk factors from both internal and external environments can disrupt them. External risk factors contain allergens containing proteases, bacteria, virus, particulate matter, diesel exhaust particles, and cigarette smoke. In the meantime, inflammatory cytokines also increase the load on the barrier. Taking into account the role of ...

RBCK1 Overexpression Attenuates Inflammation and Mobility of Derp1-Induced Nasal Mucosal Cells by Downregulating NLRP3
Conclusions: RBCK1 overexpression suppressed the inflammatory and mobility progression of AR model cells by downregulating NLRP3. Our data suggest RBCK1 as an important target for AR therapy.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)

Differential Circular RNA Expression Profiles in Induced Sputum of Patients with Asthma
Conclusion: Differentially expressed circRNAs existed in induced sputum cells of asthma patients, among which has_circSORT1 and has_circSERPINB1 were significantly upregulated and may be involved in the process of asthma disease, which could be expected to be a potential biomarker for asthma diagnosis. In addition, a ceRNA regulatory network, has_circSORT1/has-miR-185-3p/ZNFX1, may exist in asthma.Int Arch Allergy Immunol (Source: International Archives of Allergy and Immunology)
