Role of microbiome in regulating the HPA axis and its relevance to allergy.
Authors: Sudo N Abstract There has been an increasing and intense interest in the role that gut bacteria play in maintaining the health of the host. Gut microbiota have an estimated mass of 1-2 kg, number 100 trillion and together possess 100 times the number of genes in the human genome. In addition to their well-established role in the postnatal maturation of the mammalian immune system, they are also responsible for an enormous array of metabolic activities that include effects on the digestion of food and the production of a host of biologically active substances. Moreover, it is also rapidly becoming apparent ...

Prevention of food allergy.
Authors: Tsakok T, Du Toit G, Lack G Abstract Despite a trend towards delayed weaning, food allergies (FAs) have increased in the past few decades and are now considered a public health concern, resulting in significant morbidity as well as occasional mortality. Whilst genetic factors are clearly important in the development of FA, a rise in FAs has occurred over a short period of time and is therefore unlikely to be due to germ-line genetic changes alone. Thus, it seems plausible that one or more environmental exposures may, via epigenetic changes, result in the interruption of the 'default immunologic state' of t...

New risks from ancient food dyes: cochineal red allergy.
This study reports an unusual case of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to Cochineal red or Carmine red, a coloring agent of natural origin. Although the risk of anaphylactic reactions is well known, since the nineties the use of this additive seems to be nowadays on the rise. The problem of labeling of additives used in handmade food products is highlighted. PMID: 25398168 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Subtypes of chronic urticaria in patients attending allergy clinics in Venezuela.
Authors: Sánchez-Borges M, Caballero-Fonseca F, Capriles-Hulett A Abstract Chronic urticaria (CU) is one of the most puzzling clinical entities confronted by the medical profession. It is a common motive for consultation, and in a sizable proportion of patients no identifiable cause is evident. Since there are relatively few publications regarding CU in developing countries, we performed a prospective 3-year study on the demographic and clinical features of patients with CU. Four hundred and twenty-three subjects were studied, 52 children and 371 adults, 295 females (69.7%), with a mean age of 38.4 ± 17.8 years. ...

Allergy to honeybee … not only stings
Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of the risks of consumption of bee products in honeybee venom allergic patients and compositae allergic patients, the potential allergens involved in these reactions, the advancement in solving diagnostic difficulties, and management of allergic reactions to bee products. Recent findings: Allergic patients to bee venom and compositae allergic patients may be allergic to bee products. Several bee products allergens have been identified in bee venom. Summary: Anaphylaxis to bee products is rare. Some studies show a clear association between some aer...

For t 2 DNA Vaccine Prevents Forcipomyia taiwana (Biting Midge) Allergy in a Mouse Model
ConclusionsThis study is the first to demonstrate that DNA vaccine encoding midge allergen is effective in preventing allergic skin inflammation induced by biting midge.Immunotherapy using For t 2 DNA vaccine can protect mice from being sensitized by midge allergen and may be a promising treatment for biting midge allergy in the future.This article is protected by copyright.

Does Spore Count Matter in Fungal Allergy?: The Role of Allergenic Fungal Species.
CONCLUSIONS: The major factor causing exacerbation of allergic symptoms in established fungal allergic patients may be the spore concentration of specific allergenic fungi rather than the total fungal concentration. These results may be useful in making recommendations as regards environmental control for fungal allergic patients. PMID: 27334778 [PubMed]

The dangerous liaison between pollens and pollution in respiratory allergy.
CONCLUSION: Because public greens are located in strict proximity to the anthropogenic sources of pollution, the identification of novel more reliable parameters for risk assessment in respiratory allergic diseases is an essential need for public health management and primary prevention area.

Investigation of the Possible Role of the Hippo/YAP1 Pathway in Asthma and Allergy.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results provided additional evidence that the FRMD6/Hippo/YAP1 pathway plays a role in the pathogenesis of asthma. If additional studies can confirm these findings, this pathway can be a potential novel therapeutic target in asthma and other inflammatory airway diseases. PMID: 28293931 [PubMed]

Component resolved diagnostics for hymenoptera venom allergy
Purpose of review: Component-resolved diagnostics makes use of defined allergen molecules to analyse IgE-mediated sensitizations at a molecular level. Here, we review recent studies on the use of component-resolved diagnostics in the field of Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) and discuss its benefits and limitations. Recent findings: Component resolution in HVA has moved from single molecules to panels of allergens. Detection of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to marker and cross-reactive venom allergens has been reported to facilitate the discrimination between primary sensitization and cross-reactivity and thus, to provi...
