The problem of diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis today is particularly relevant, due to the increasing prevalence of that  disease both in Russia and abroad. The three highlighted directions of the treatment are: immunotherapy, elimination therapy and  drug therapy. The basis of the pharmacotherapy of allergic diseases are medicines, which are directed to the main pathogenetic  mechanisms of allergic inflammation. Among the drugs recommended for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, antihistamines of the  second generation play an important role.

Abstract Introduction: Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common allergic diseases, characterized by the inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Eosinophils play a predominant pro-inflammatory role in allergic inflammation. This study assesses the effect of mometasone furoate alone or in combination with desloratadine/montelukast in patients with moderate-severe allergic rhinitis. Material and method: This is a prospective study that took place over 8 weeks on 70 patients diagnosed with moderate-severe allergic rhinitis with sensitization to the pollen of Ambrosia elatior. The patients were evaluated on the basis of their symptoms using the total score of nasal symptoms, the score of individual nasal symptoms and the number of eosinophils in the nasal secretion. Results: All 3 groups of patients had an improvement on the total nasal symptoms score. However, the combination of mometasone furoate with desloratadine provided statistically significant benefits on the total score of symptoms and on nasal itching as compared with mometasone furoate alone. Conclusions: The association of mometasone furoate with desloratadine should be considered first-line treatment of moderate-severe allergic rhinitis due to the benefit both on the total symptom score and on of nasal itching.

Background and Aim. Neurogenic inflammation underlies the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Interactions between neurons with the immune cells and structural cells (airway epithelium, nasal mucosa, skin keratinocytes) undergo altered regulation during chronic inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that the expression of neuroinflammatory genes may be altered allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis, and that, compared to atopic asthma, the expression pattern may be disease-specific in pediatric patients. Methods. In the study, we included 86 children diagnosed with atopic asthma (n=25), allergic rhinitis (n=20), and atopic dermatitis (n=20) and healthy control subjects (n=21) of Caucasian origin from the Polish population. The blood leukocyte expression of 31 genes involved in neuroinflammatory response (neurotrophins, their receptors, neuropeptides, and histamine signaling pathway) was analysed using TaqMan low-density arrays. The relative expression of selected proteins from plasma was done using TaqMan Protein Assays. Statistical analysis was done using Statistica. Results. Blood expression of 31 genes related to neuroimmune interactions showed significant increase in both allergic diseases, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis, in comparison to the control group. We found 12 genes significantly increased in allergic rhinitis and 9 genes in which the expression was elevated in atopic dermatitis. Moreover, 9 genes with changed expression in atopic dermatitis overlapped with those in allergic rhinitis. Atopic asthma showed 5 genes with altered expression. The peripheral expression of neuroinflammatory genes in the human study was verified in target tissues (nasal epithelium and skin) in a rat model of allergic inflammation. Conclusions. A common pattern of neuroinflammatory gene expression between allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis may reflect similar changes in sensory nerve function during chronic allergic inflammation.

The prevalence of allergic diseases is increasing: according to recent data, about 20% of the worlds' population suffers from allergic rhinitis. About 30% of the reproductive age women are known to suffer from allergic rhinitis, and in a third of cases, symptoms of allergic rhinitis increase during pregnancy. Allergic inflammation is the result of contact with a causative allergen and elimination of causative allergens is not always possible. The creation of a protective barrier preventing the adhesion of allergens on the surface of the nasal mucosa reduces the penetration of allergens and helps control allergic rhinitis. Aqua Maris® Nasal Spray Ectoin is a completely natural remedy that creates a physical barrier (“barrier”) for attaching allergens to the nasal mucosa and prevents the development of allergic rhinitis. Aqua Maris® Ectoin can be used for allergic rhinitis treatment in pregnant and nursing women. Non-comparative open-label trial investigating the efficacy and safety of the Aqua Maris® Nasal Spray Ectoin was carried out from September to June 2019 at the Center of early diagnosis of allergic diseases in women of childbearing age Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University. The study included 45 pregnant women with allergic rhinitis. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by the severity of clinical symptoms and rhinoscopic data of patients in dynamics during treatment. As a result of the use of Aqua-Maris Ectoin in pregnant women, a significant reduction in complaints on the 10th day of therapy and a decrease in inflammatory phenomena in the nasal cavity were observed. In addition, a significantly significant decrease in secretory nasal IgE was noted. This indicates the effectiveness of the Aqua Maris® Nasal Spray Ectoin in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in pregnant women. Adverse events associated with the use of Ectoin Aqua Maris® Nasal Spray in pregnant women were not detected. Aqua Maris® Nasal Spray Ectoin can be used for effective and safe treatment of allergic rhinitis in pregnant women.

The significance of the issues of allergic diseases is not in doubt. It is difficult to find a person who has not suffered at least some Allergy symptom, not everyone develops diseases, but most people face Allergy symptoms. The prevalence of various allergic diseases is increasing every year, currently reaching 30% of the population, and the world health organization predicts it will reach 50% in the next few decades. The most common nosologies are allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, but there are many other conditions of hypersensitivity. This article addresses the issues of inflammatory reactions in General and specifically allergic inflammation, discusses the main aspects of the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis and urticaria, and questions of drug therapy for these diseases. Most people are sure that they can take anti-allergic medications for allergies, and most often they are referring to antihistamines. Unfortunately, even some medical specialists lack an understanding of the specifics of antihistamine therapy. some people still believe that there are three or four generations of antihistamines, and patients use drugs not as prescribed by doctors, but on the recommendation of friends or pharmacists. Irrational use of antihistamines leads to a decrease in effectiveness, and it is not uncommon to discredit specific drugs and groups of drugs in General. This article demonstrates the results of various European and Asian studies on the effectiveness and safety of antihistamines and bilastin in particular, as well as their own experience of using antihistamines in practice.

Purpose. Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in many plastic products and is thus a common environmental endocrine disruptor. Plastic-related health problems, including allergic diseases, are attracting increasing attention. However, few experimental studies have explored the effect of BPA on allergic rhinitis (AR). We explore whether BPA was directly related to the allergic inflammation induced by ovalbumin (OVA) in AR mice. Methods. We first constructed OVA-induced mouse model, and after BPA administration, we evaluated nasal symptoms and measured the serum OVA-specific IgE levels by ELISA. Th2 and Treg-related cytokines of nasal mucosa were measured by cytometric bead array. Th2 and Treg-specific transcription factor levels were assayed by PCR. The proportions of CD3+CD4+IL-4+Th2 and CD4+Helios+Foxp3+ T cells (Tregs) in spleen tissue were determined by flow cytometry. Results. Compared to OVA-only-induced mice, BPA addition increased nasal symptoms and serum OVA-specific IgE levels. OVA and BPA coexposure significantly increased IL-4 and IL-13 protein levels compared to those after OVA exposure alone. BPA plus OVA tended to decrease the IL-10 protein levels compared to those after OVA alone. Coexposure to OVA and BPA significantly increased the GATA-3-encoding mRNA level, and decreased the levels of mRNAs encoding Foxp3 and Helios, compared to those after OVA exposure alone. BPA increased the Th2 cell proportion, and decreased that of Tregs, compared to the levels with OVA alone. Conclusion. BPA exerted negative effects by exacerbating AR allergic symptoms, increasing serum OVA-specific IgE levels, and compromising Th2 and Treg responses.
