Background. We aimed to apply theZHENGidentification to provide an easy and useful tool to stratify the patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) through exploring the correlation between the quantified scores of AR symptoms and the TCMZHENGs.Methods. A total of 114 AR patients were enrolled in this observational study. All participants received the examinations of anterior rhinoscopy and acoustic rhinometry. Their blood samples were collected for measurement of total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), blood eosinophil count (Eos), and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). They also received two questionnaire to assess the severity scores of AR symptoms and quantified TCMZHENGscores. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine explanatory factors for the score of AR manifestations.Results. IgE and ECP level, duration of AR, the 2 derived TCMZHENGscores of “Yin-Xu − Yang-Xu”, and “Qi-Xu+Blood-Xu” were 5 explanatory variables to predict the severity scores of AR symptoms. The patients who had higher scores of “Yin-Xu − Yang-Xu” or “Qi-Xu+Blood-Xu” tended to manifest as “sneezer and runner” or “blockers,” respectively.Conclusions.The TCMZHENGscores correlated with the severity scores of AR symptoms and provided an easy and useful tool to stratify the AR patients.

Calcium Sensing

Airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation are fundamental hallmarks of allergic asthma that are accompanied by increases in certain polycations, such as eosinophil cationic protein. Levels of these cations in body fluids correlate with asthma severity. We show that polycations and elevated extracellular calcium activate the human recombinant and native calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), leading to intracellular calcium mobilization, cyclic adenosine monophosphate breakdown, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation in airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. These effects can be prevented by CaSR antagonists, termed calcilytics. Moreover, asthmatic patients and allergen-sensitized mice expressed more CaSR in ASMs than did their healthy counterparts. Indeed, polycations induced hyperreactivity in mouse bronchi, and this effect was prevented by calcilytics and absent in mice with CaSR ablation from ASM. Calcilytics also reduced airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in allergen-sensitized mice in vivo. These data show that a functional CaSR is up-regulated in asthmatic ASM and targeted by locally produced polycations to induce hyperresponsiveness and inflammation. Thus, calcilytics may represent effective asthma therapeutics.

Aim. The aim of the study was to differentiate the endotypes in allergic rhinitis by key allergy markers in a mixed group of patients.Material and Methods. The study comprised a total of 48 patients, men and women, aged 18-60 years suffering from three endotypes of allergic rhinitis including the classic, local, and dual allergic rhinitis. The standard diagnostics of allergic rhinitis included taking a history of allergies, family history of allergic disease, video rhinoscopy, serum total IgE level assessment, allergy skin tests to house dust mite and pollen allergens, and study of eosinophilic inflammation parameters (eosinophil cationic protein, interleukin-5 (IL5), and eosinophil counts in blood and nasal secretion).Results. Based on total IgE level, the general group of patients was divided to two subgroups: subgroup 1 comprised patients with high IgE level (n = 22); subgroup 2 comprised patients with low IgE level (n = 26). Most of patients in these groups had contradictory results of allergy skin tests i.e. positive allergy skin test results in case of high IgE level (group 1) and vice versa. Cluster analysis-based exminations of general group allowed to categorize three subgroups of patients: patients with classic allergic rhinitis (n = 22), local allergic rhinitis (n = 22), and dual allergic rhinitis (n = 4). Besides, an increased rate of anxiety disorder was found in patients with local allergic rhinitis (p < 0.001).Conclusion. The obtained data showed promise for a new research trend in studying allergic rhinitis endotypes, namely: investigation of neuroimmune relationships in allergic tolerance disruption in the presence of this pathology.
