Association Between Obesity, Abdominal Obesity, and Adiposity and the Prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis in Young Korean Adults: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2010.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large-scale nation-wide study of Korean adults, obesity was positively related to the presence of AD in women. Our findings suggest that weight management may help prevent AD. PMID: 26739403 [PubMed]

Effect of Vitamin A Supplementation on fatigue and depression in Multiple Sclerosis patients: A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Abstract Decreasing the population and activation of inflammatory T helper cells in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using vitamin A derivatives (retinoic acids) has been well documented. The present study determined the effect of vitamin A supplementation on psychiatric signs in MS patients. The subjects were 101 relapsing-remitting MS patients enrolled in a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. The treatment group was administered 25000 IU/d retinyl palmitate (RP) for 6 months followed by 10000 IU/d RP for another 6 months. The results for baseline characteristics, modified fatigue impact scale and Beck ...

Association of T-regulatory cells and CD23/CD21 expression with vitamin D in children with asthma.
CONCLUSION: The current study found impaired Treg cell population and high numbers of B cells with IgE receptors (CD23 and CD21) and altered regulatory cytokines in children with asthma, suggesting impaired immune regulation. PMID: 27026514 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cow's Milk Allergy and Bone Mineral Density in Prepubertal Children
CONCLUSIONS: These prepubertal children with persistent CMA had lower lumbar spine BMD z scores than children with NCMA, which likely resulted from lower calcium intake.

Effect of alfacalcidol on the pulmonary function of adult asthmatic patients: A randomized trial.
CONCLUSION: Alfacalcidol supplementation improved the pulmonary function and severity stage of adult patients with asthma regardless of deficiency. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02747381. PMID: 28377173 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Biomarkers of oxidative stress and antioxidants in severe asthma: A Prospective Case-Control Study.
CONCLUSION: FeNO but not EBC-NOx is increased significantly with asthma severity with no evidence of vitamins or trace elements deficiency in severe asthma. Impaired oxidative stress defenses in severe asthma may be driven by factors other than vitamins or trace elements deficiency. PMID: 28390585 [PubMed - in process]

Inverse Relation between MxA Gene Expression and Age in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Reveals a Gender Difference in Response to Interferon Therapy.
In conclusion, the decrease in the level of MxA expression in MS patients treated with IFN-β when compared to normal individuals was significantly lower in females than males.  This demonstrated a gender bias in the response to IFN-β therapy that will need to be confirmed and further investigated in more detail.

Outstanding animal studies in allergy II. From atopic barrier and microbiome to allergen-specific immunotherapy
Purpose of review: Animal studies published within the past 18 months were assessed, focusing on innate and specific immunomodulation, providing knowledge of high translational relevance for human atopic and allergic diseases. Recent findings: Allergic companion animals represent alternative models, but most studies were done in mice. Atopic dermatitis mouse models were refined by the utilization of cytokines like IL-23 and relevant skin allergens or enzymes. A novel IL-6 reporter mouse allows biomonitoring of inflammation. Both skin pH and the (transferable) microflora have a pivotal role in modulating the skin barrier. ...

Vitamin D, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and airway hyperresponsiveness in infants with recurrent respiratory symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Vitamin D insufficiency could underlie eosinophilia and AHR in infants with troublesome lung symptoms, whereas hs-CRP-mediated low-grade systemic inflammation is rare in early childhood wheezing. PMID: 28757230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Vitamin D ₃ deficiency and its association with nasal polyposis in patients with cystic fibrosis and patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
CONCLUSION: VD3 deficiency seemed to be associated with the presence of nasal polyps in the patients with CRS and in the patients with CF in a similar manner. The lower the level of serum VD3, the more severe the mucosal disease was found in the imaging studies and the more frequent microbial colonization of the patients with CF and the patients with CRS.

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in children with recurrent wheezing and relation to the phenotypes and frequency of wheezing.
Conclusions. Mean 25OHD levels were lower in patients with recurrent wheezing than in healthy controls. The duration of illness and number of wheezing episodes were correlated with vitamin D levels. An evaluation of the serum levels of vitamin D and supplementation if needed should be recommended in patients with recurrent wheezing, especially in those with long-term and frequent wheezing episodes.

Complex relationships between vitamin D and allergic sensitization among Puerto Rican 2-year-old children.
CONCLUSION: Vitamin D deficiency, possibly linked with allergic pathways, may partially explain the trajectory for disproportionate asthma burden among Puerto Ricans, especially those born and raised in colder climates. PMID: 29273135 [PubMed - in process]
