OBJECTIVE
Japanese cedar pollinosis (Type I allergy to Japanese cedar pollen) shows a high incidence in spring in Japan, demonstrating symptoms such as pituita, rhinostenosis, lacrimation and sometimes pharyngeal pain. The following study investigated whether expired nitric oxide (NO) concentration
BACKGROUND
The ethnobotanical survey conducted in this study showed 47 plant species used in the Altiplane region of Mexico for the treatment of dental diseases such as toothache, dental caries, periodontal disease and gingivitis.
METHODS
Information was collected by performing interviews. The
In a previous study, we investigated the influence of several high refractive index fluids on the performance of polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). That study showed that these liquids can increase the effective imaging depth and lesion contrast. Other in vitro and in vivo
Two novel ecological and low-cost adsorbents were prepared from seed residues of the tree species Anadenanthera macrocarpa and Cedrela fissilis for the removal of methylene blue dye in water. The materials were comminuted and characterized by different techniques. The particles of samples have a
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the effects of the thromboxane (TX) A2 antagonist seratrodast, the peptide leukotriene (p-LT) antagonist pranlukast, the antihistaminic drug terfenadine and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone on antigen-induced sneezing, biphasic nasal blockage and nasal hyperresponsiveness
BACKGROUND
Although it has been suggested that the use of tachykinin receptor antagonists might prove to be an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR), they are not used clinically. Therefore, we decided to examine the effects of tachykinin receptor antagonists on AR symptoms in an
OBJECTIVE
We characterized the leukocyte kinetics after antigen challenge, and investigated the effects of the thromboxane (TX) A2 antagonist seratrodast, the peptide leukotriene (p-LT) antagonist pranlukast, the antihistaminic drug terfenadine and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone on this leukocyte
The pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is a species of concern to forest managers because it uses cavities in large snags and decadent trees for nesting and roosting. A radio-telemetry study of pileated woodpeckers on the Olympic Peninsula of western Washington (1) found that large western
Allergic rhinitis caused by pollen of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is found in Japan. These pollens, when inhaled into the nasal cavity, contact the nasal mucus membrane, and the allergens separate from the pollens, and pass through the nasal mucosa to interact with the mast cell-bound IgE.
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for Japanese cedar pollinosis is effective, however, caution must be exercised against allergen-specific adverse events (AEs) during SLIT.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to clarify the AEs of SLIT in a large cohort of patients with Japanese cedar
It is well known that an initial treatment with several kinds of antiallergic medicines is useful for patients suffering from Japanese cedar pollinosis to reduce nasal symptoms during the pollen season. Also topical corticosteroids show a preventive effect as antiallergic medicines. In this study,
BACKGROUND
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by the action of NO synthase (NOS) using L-arginine as a substrate in various cells and found in air exhaled by humans. Previous studies suggest that almost all exhaled NO is derived from the upper airways and increases in patients with untreated asthma and
BACKGROUND
A pollen exposure chamber (OHIO Chamber) was built in central Tokyo, Japan, in order to study seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). Since satisfactory outcomes were obtained from the controlled pollen exposure at the chamber, we conducted preliminary studies in volunteers with
To develop an immunotherapeutic vaccine for treatment of allergic rhinitis, we developed a controlled release formulation of Cryj1, a major Japanese cedar pollen allergen, with immunostimulatory potency. Two sets of hexapod-like structured DNA (hexapodna) were prepared using six
