ObjectiveTo investigate the common inhalant allergens causing allergic rhinitis in underage patients, and provide references for clinical prevention of allergic rhinitis. MethodsUnderage patients with allergic rhinitis admitted to our hospital between January 2010 and June 2013 were screened and skin prick test (SPT) was applied to investigate the response intensity to 22 kinds of common inhalant allergens and analyze the correlation of the positive rates and grades of allergens with age and sex. ResultsA total of 402 patients were included, and 77.6% (312/402) of them reported positive reaction of SPT; and the top five allergens were dust mites (242/402, 60.2%), house dust (235/402, 58.5%), housefly (142/402, 35.3%), spring pollen Ⅲ (133/402, 33.1%) and mulberry silk (121/402, 30.1%), respectively. Compared with patients whose age was younger than 5 years, both the positive rates and grades of SPT were significantly higher in patients above 5 years old. Additionally, the higher positive rates and grades of SPT were also observed much more in male patients than female patients. ConclusionThe most common inhalant allergens causing allergic rhinitis in underage patients are dust mites and house dust. And the SPT response intensity of inhalant allergens can be affected by age and gender.
Sleep deprivation can cause hyperalgesia, and the mechanisms involve glutamic acid, dopamine, serotonin, metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5, adenosine A2A receptor, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, opioid receptor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, melatonin, etc. The mechanisms of hyperalgesia caused by sleep deprivation are complex. The current treatment methods are mainly to improve sleep and relieve pain. This paper reviews the mechanism and treatment progress of hyperalgesia induced by sleep deprivation, and aims to provide scientific evidence for the treatment of hyperalgesia caused by sleep deprivation.
Objective To search for, assess, and summarize the best evidence for antimicrobial allergy assessment in hospitalized patients, so as to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical nursing practice. Methods UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, National Guideline Clearinghouse, Guidelines International Network, Yimaitong, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, CQVIP, SinoMed, and related association websites were searched by computer for literature about clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensuses, evidence summaries, systematic reviews and meta-analyses related to antimicrobial allergy assessment in hospitalized patients. The search time limit was from the establishment of the databases to September 2024. Two researchers trained in evidence-based practice screened the literature and evaluated the quality independently. Finally, the evidence-based research group extracted and integrated the evidence after discussion. Results Totally 8 articles were involved, including 6 guidelines and 2 systematic reviews. Finally, 25 pieces of best evidence were obtained across 6 aspects, including the importance of antimicrobial allergy assessment, the subjects of allergy assessment, the personnel conducting allergy assessment, the content of allergy assessment, the recording of allergy history, and assessment tips. Conclusion When applying and transforming evidence, medical staff should fully consider the actual clinical situation and explore the evaluation scheme of antimicrobial allergy history of hospitalized patients with local characteristics, to improve the accuracy of evaluation of antimicrobial allergy history of hospitalized patients, so as to strengthen the safety management of drug use and improve the level of rational drug use.
Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of omalizumab in treating allergic bronchial asthma. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about omalizumab in treating allergic bronchial asthma were searched in databases such as MEDILINE, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from inception to April 2013. The references of included studies and relevant conference proceedings were also retrieved manually. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the quality, and then RevMan 5.1 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 13 RCTs involving 4 195 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) Compared with the control group, the trial group revealed lower acute exacerbation of asthma during treatment (RR=0.71, 95%CI 0.65 to 0.77, Plt;0.000 01), and higher rate of patients achieved best/better results in Global Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness (GETE) (RR=1.61, 95%CI 1.32 to 1.97, Plt;0.000 01). More patients could reduce the inhaled cortisteroid (ICS) by 50% during both treatment (RR=1.40, 95%CI 1.29 to 1.52) and 24-week follow-up period (RR=1.69, 95%CI 1.41 to 2.03). And it also increased the ratio of patients whose Asthma Quality Of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) score got improved by 0.5 and 1.5 socres. b) There were no significant differences in the incidence of overall adverse events (RR=1.01, 95%CI 0.98 to 1.04) and severe adverse events (RR=0.94, 95CI 0.68 to 1.28). c) There might be the effects of omalzumab in improving lung function and reducing rescue medication use, but they were not obviously observed in the studies. Conclusion In the treatment of asthma, omalizumab can decrease the acute exacerbation of asthma and ICS use, and it is safer to improve the therapeutic effects and quality of life.
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the level of serum amylase and serum IgA and total IgE in henoch-schonlein purpura patients with gastrointestinal involvement (also known as "Henoch purpura "). Methods Levels of serum amylase and serum IgA and total IgE in henoch-schonlein purpura patients with or without abdominal pain or patients with acute abdominal pain were compared. Results The average level (180.3 ± 15.8 IU) of serum amylase of Henoch purpura patients was significantly higher than HSP patients without abdominal pain and acute abdominal pain patients (F=32.214, P=0.009); Ratio of cases of increased level of serum IgA in henoch purpura abdomen patients was 44.2%, and there was no significant difference with HSP patients without abdominal pain. But ratio of two groups was respectively higher than the acute abdominal pain patients group (χ2=13.73, P=0.001); Ratio of cases of increased level of serum IgE in Henoch purpura abdomen patients accounted for 40.4%, but there was no significant difference among the three group (χ2=1.80，P=0.41). Conclusion Levels of serum amylase increase and serum IgA increase conduce to diagnose HSP patients with the onset of abdominal pain, and serum total IgE has little significance.
【摘要翻译】 一 氧化氮合酶( NOS) -2( NOS-2) 的诱导和一氧化氮产物增加是过敏性气道疾病的共同特征。严重哮喘与气道S-亚硝基硫醇减少相关。S-亚硝基硫醇是NO的生化产物, 可通过促炎症转录因子NF-κB 的S-亚硝基化抑制炎症反应。因此, 重建气道S-亚硝基硫醇对治疗可能有益。我们对此假设在以卵清蛋白诱导的过敏性炎症大鼠模型中进行验证。未使用或使用卵清蛋白致敏的动物均在卵清蛋白激发前于气管内灌注S-亚硝基谷胱甘肽( GSNO;50 μl, 10 mM) , 并在48 h 以后进行分析。GSNO 给药增加了肺组织S-亚硝基硫醇水平。与对照组比, GSNO 降低了卵清蛋白致敏动物NF-κB 的活性, 但对支气管肺泡灌洗细胞总数、分类计数及杯状细胞化生标记物均无显著影响。GSNO给药也改变了HIF-1 的活性, 导致未致敏大鼠HIF-1 活化,但抑制卵清蛋白致敏大鼠的HIF-1 活性。我们使用NOS-2基因敲除小鼠来评价内源性一氧化氮合成酶-2 在调节NF-κB和( 或) HIF-1 活性及气道过敏性炎症的作用。尽管在NOS-2 基因敲除小鼠中卵清蛋白诱导的NF-κB 活力轻度增高, 这与支气管肺泡灌洗中性粒细胞轻度增加有关, 其他的过敏性炎症指标和HIF-1 活性在NOS-2 基因敲除及野生型小鼠之间却无明显相差。总体来说, 我们的研究表明GSNO灌注能抑制气道过敏性炎症中NF-κB 活性, 但是并不能显著地影响大部分炎症及杯状细胞化生指标, 这样可能因为对其他信号通道( 比如HIF-1) 的影响而限制了它的治疗价值。【述评】 GSNO 是近年哮喘治疗研究的热点。既往的研究发现GSNO 在哮喘治疗中有一定前景。本研究却发现GSNO 气管内滴注虽能抑制过敏性气道炎症中NF-κB 活性,但并不能显著抑制气道炎症反应及杯状细胞化生这两个哮喘关键病理改变, 可能与GSNO 同时影响了HIF-1 等其他信号通路有关。该研究表明GSNO 对哮喘气道炎症治疗效果有限, 同时表明哮喘气道炎症调控机制较为复杂, 治疗药物的设计需考虑多种信号通路对哮喘气道炎症的影响。
