    Notes: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of a pure powder formulation of budesonide, delivered from a new multi-dose dispenser for nasal drug application, with the commercially available budesonide pressurized aerosol, and with placebo. Of 116 patients with grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, 112 finished the study, which comprised a 4-week treatment period, preceded by a 1-week run-in period. The patients were randomized to four parallel treatment groups: budesonide powder 400 Hg daily; budesonide powder 800 μg daily; budesonide aerosol 400 μg daily; and placebo Powder. Treatment was given once daily in the morning. The study was double-blind regarding comparison between budesonide powder and Placebo. Assessment of efficacy, made by comparing mean scores of nasal symptoms and use of rescue medication, showed equal efficacy of all three budesonide groups compared with placebo. There were no differences between budesonide-and placebo-treated groups with regard to side effects. Budesonide treatment had no demonstrable effect on the HPA-axis assessed by measurement of 24-h urine cortisol. We conclude that budesonide, delivered as pure powder from a multi-dose dispenser, is effective and safe for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis. This new formulation is a good alternative to the commercially available preparations, as it does not contain carrier gas, preservatives or lubricants.

    In vitro studies of the interaction between heparin and eosinophil cationic protein (1991)

    Notes: Eosmophil cationic protein (ECP) is a protein specific to the granules of human eosinophil granulocytes. ECP is highly cationic and may damage tissue if not inactivated. Heparin is a highly anionic substance present in mast cells and basophil granulocytes. The present in vitro study shows that ECP can inactivate the anticoagulant activity of heparin probably by the formation of a complex between the two molecules. This function may be of importance for the microenvironment of allergic diseases where secretion of heparin may promote penetration of mast cell products through tissues. Also this may constitute one mechanism whereby the cytotosic action of ECP is neutralized.

    Notes: The relation between allergy to house dust mites and allergy to storage mites was studied in 326 patients with bronchial asthma, A positive RAST to house dust mites was found in 24,5% and to storage mites in 7,4%, There was a close association between a positive RAST to house dust mites and a positive RAST to storage mites, and 91,6% had a positive RAST to both. Only 0,9% with a negative RAST to house dust mites had a positive RAST to storage mites, whereas the frequency was 27,5% in those with a positive RAST to house dust mites. Present occupation with exposure to storage mites was found in 20,8% with a positive RAST to storage mites, A positive RAST to both house dust mites and storage mites was significantly associated with anamnestic indicators of damp housing conditions. The close association between allergy to house dust mites and allergy to storage mites in this study is probably caused by a common environmental factor, i.e, damp housing conditions.

    Mite allergy and exposure to storage mites and house dust mites in farmers (1990)

    Notes: Sensitization to house dust mites, storage mites and other common inhalation allergens was studied in 144 farmers using SPT and RAST. The study population was selected from a random sample of 808 farmers and consisted of 47 persons who had declared themselves to suffer from asthma, 63 persons who had reported respiratory symptoms, and 34 healthy persons without respiratory symptoms. The most prevalent RAST was towards storage mites and was found in 17% of farmers who suffered from asthma and was estimated to occur in 5% of the random sample of farmers. A positive RAST to house dust mites was found in 17% of farmers who reported to suffer from asthma. Sensitization to pollens, animal dander and grain species was rare. A positive RAST to moulds was not found. There was a strong association between a positive RAST to house dust mites and a positive RAST to storage mites (odds ratio 21.0). A positive RAST to storage mites was significantly associated with living in a dwelling in the past which was recalled as damp (odds ratio 4.9). A high number of house dust mites was found in nearly all dwellings (median count 148 mites/0.1 g dust) and a high number of storage mites was found in some dwellings. This study suggests that in humid and temperate regions of Europe, allergy to storage mites in farmers is not caused exclusively by occupational exposure but damp housing conditions and indoor exposure to storage mites may also be important.

    Nasal inhalation of the glucocorticoid budesonide from a spacer for the treatment of patients with pollen rhinitis and asthma (1990)

    Notes: Glucorticoid sprays are increasingly used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma. This therapy is highly effective, and side effects are few and mild. It was the aim of the present study to evaluate a physiological nasal inhalation technique, which results in airway deposition of the steroid molecule similar to that of inhaled allergen particles. Thirty adults with grass pollen-induced rhinitis and asthma inhaled the steroid molectile budesonide through the nose from a pressurized aerosol attached to a spacer device. Compared with inhalation of placebo, the treatment resulted in a significant reduction of nasal symptoms (P=0.005), of bronchial symptoms (P=0.005), bat not of eye symptoms. In addition, nasal peak inspiratory flow (P=0.0003) and oral peak expiratory flow (P=0.02) increased. There was no difference between budesonide and placebo with regard to local side effects, such as nose bleeding, hoarseness, and irritation in mouth and throat. It is concluded that nasal inhalation of a steroid from a spacer offers effective therapy of pollen rhinitis and asthma without significant local side effects. This therapeutic modality may have advantages over the ordinarily used nasal and bronchial spray treatment in patients with both rhinitis and asthma, especially when conventionel spray therapy is associated with local side effects.

    Effect on smoking cessation of silver acetate, nicotine and ordinary chewing gum (1991)

    Notes: Abstract In a randomized smoking cessation study 211, 203 and 82 persons were supported with nicotine, silver acetate and ordinary chewing gum, respectively. After 26 weeks there was no overall difference in number of abstainers between treatments. Participants were divided into subsets with low and high weighted packyears consumption (WPY) which modifies tobacco consumption by nicotine content. Abstainer rates in the total population controlled for treatment decreased with increasing WPY (P〈0.005). In participants with low WPY abstainer rate was higher in the silver acetate group compared to the nicotine (P〈0.0005) and ordinary (P〈0.05) chewing gum groups. Nicotine chewing gum was more effective than silver acetate (P〈0.05) and ordinary (P〈0.05) chewing gum in smokers with high WPY. Ratings on some inconveniences experienced during earlier attempts to quit smoking influenced the ability to break the habit but had no influence on chewing gum effects. This study indicated that through consideration of smoking history it should be possible to individualize pharmacological support to smokers wanting to quit, with silver acetate chewing gum most effective for smokers with a low WPY and nicotine chewing gum most effective for smokers with a high WPY.
