Allergic sensitization and objective measures of sleep in urban school-aged children with asthma.
CONCLUSION: More positive allergy test results were associated with poorer sleep outcomes measured objectively in this sample of urban children. Implications for environmental control interventions and asthma treatments in different racial and ethnic groups are discussed.

Characteristics of Adult Severe Refractory Asthma in Korea Analyzed From the Severe Asthma Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: The baseline characteristics of severe asthma patients in the Korea Severe Asthma Registry were analyzed and reported for the first time. With this cohort, further prospective studies should be performed to search for ways to improve management of severe refractory asthma.

Sensitivity of impulse oscillometry and spirometry in beta-blocker induced bronchoconstriction and beta-agonist bronchodilatation in asthma.
CONCLUSION: IOS is a more sensitive response outcome than spirometry with respect to bronchoconstriction to oral propranolol and bronchodilatation after salbutamol in patients with mild to moderate asthma.

Vitamin e supplementation, lung functions and clinical manifestations in children with moderate asthma: a randomized double blind placebo- controlled trial.
Abstract
Asthma is the most common chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by cough, wheezing and dyspnea in children. Nutrition is an important factor which influences on induction and exacerbation of asthma. There are controversies to use Vitamin E in asthmatic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin E supplement in children with moderate asthma. This is a randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial performed on children (age 2-17 years old) with moderate asthma (5-17 years old) from March 2010 to March 2012. Case group were treated with fluticasone and vitamin E (50mg/day)...

Influence of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp on the lower airway of subjects without lower airway diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: CT findings suggesting chronic sinusitis and nasal polyp were associated with subclinical lower airway flow limitation even in the absence of underlying lung disease.

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide and impulse oscillometry in children with allergic rhinitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Reversible airway obstruction on IOS and elevated FeNO levels were observed in children with AR. Because elevated FeNO levels can indicate airway inflammation and because chronic inflammation may lead to BHR, FeNO levels may be associated with BHR in AR. IOS can be a useful tool for detecting lower airway involvement of AR independent of BHR assessed in the MCT.

Clinical factors affecting discrepant correlation between asthma control test score and pulmonary function.
Authors: Park SY, Yoon SY, Shin B, Kwon HS, Kim TB, Moon HB, Cho YS
Abstract
The Asthma Control Test (ACT) score is widely used in asthma clinics, particularly with the recent emphasis on achievement and maintenance of optimal asthma control. However, this self-assessment score does not always correspond with lung function parameters, leading to uncertainty about each patient's control status; therefore, we investigated the clinical characteristics that are associated with discrepant correlation between the ACT score and pulmonary function. The 252 adult asthmatic subjects were divided into 5 groups according to th...

Prognosis of adult asthma: a 7-year follow-up study.
CONCLUSION: According to these 7-year follow up data, the remission rate of asthma was 11.3%. Patients with younger age, younger onset, atopy, allergic rhinitis, and few comorbidities seemed to have a greater possibility of remission.

HLA-DRB and HLA-DQ genetic variability in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that HLA-DQB1*0302 and HLA-DRB1*04 and their related haplotypes are genes involved in predisposing patients to AERD, whereas HLA-DQB1*0301 and HLA-DRB1*011 have negative association with AERD.

Longitudinal study of the expression of FcεRI and IgE on basophils and dendritic cells in association with basophil function in two patients with severe allergic asthma treated with Omalizumab.
We report two mite-allergic severe asthmatic patients successfully treated with omalizumab for one year. Clinically, patients improved gradually, with no further need for systemic steroids or emergency department visits during that treatment period, and with Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores showing controlled disease, although pulmonary function didn't show any significant improvement. Immunologically, we observed marked down-regulation of surface IgE and FcεRI on basophils, plasmacytoid and myeloid dendritic cells, as well as a reduction of basophil activation after specific allergen stimulation. These effects were clear...

Sputum high mobility group box-1 in asthmatic children: a noninvasive sensitive biomarker reflecting disease status.
CONCLUSION: The present study provides evidence that sputum HMGB1 is a sensitive biomarker of allergic asthma in children because it was increased and correlated directly with asthma severity and inversely with lung function indices.
