    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es besteht eine statistisch strenge Korrelation zwischen dem Anstieg der Histaminkonzentration im arteriellen Plasma und dem Anstieg der Strömungswiderstände in den Atemwegen bei experimentell verursachter allergischer Atemwegsobstruktion. Das Histamin wird an sensorischen Rezeptoren im Sinne einer Reflexbronchokonstriktion wirksam. Histamin verursacht in geringen Konzentrationen im Bronchialsystem eine unspezifische Empfindlichkeitssteigerung. Diese kann auch durch Allergene in sehr geringer Konzentration hervorgerufen werden. Patienten mit chronisch obstruktiver Bronchitis haben hohe Histamin-Konzentrationen im Sputum. Durch Waschungen der inneren Oberfläche des Bronchialbaums lassen sich hohe Histamin-Konzentrationen in der Spülflüssigkeit nachweisen. Die Gabe gleicher Histamin-Konzentrationen intravenös verursacht Bronchokonstriktion. Es ist anzunehmen, daß Histamin-Rezeptoren nahe der Oberfläche der Bronchialschleimhaut vorhanden sind. Ebenso müssen in der Oberfläche oder auf der Oberfläche der Bronchialschleimhaut Mastzellen vorhanden sein.
    Notes: Summary There is a statistically strong correlation between the increase of the histamine concentration in the arterial plasma and the increase of airway resistance. The histamine causes a reflex bronchoconstriction on the sensory receptors. Histamine in low concentration increases the unspecific reaction in the bronchial system. This can also be achieved using low concentrations of allergen aerosols. Patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis show high concentrations of histamine in the sputum. The bronchoconstrictive potency of this histamine was found to be not always active. Higher concentrations of histamine can be liberated by washing the inner surface of the bronchial tree. Histamine injected in similar concentrations as that measured in the sputum causes bronchoconstriction. There should be high concentrations of histamine receptors as well as mast cells near the surface of the mucosa of the bronchial wall. There are many questions remaining open, which will be discussed.

    Notes: Background Urticaria/angioedema is a common aspirin-induced allergy; however, its pathogenic mechanism is not understood.Objective In order to uncover the genetic mechanism, we studied the associations of the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes in patients with aspirin-induced urticaria compared with aspirin-intolerant asthma and normal control in a Korean population.Methods Ninety-four aspirin-induced urticaria patients presenting urticaria/angioedema-induced by both ASA and NSAID (50 had underlying chronic urticaria) and showing positive responses on oral aspirin challenge test, 76 aspirin-intolerant asthmatics with positive responses on lysine–aspirin bronchoprovocation test, and 185 normal healthy controls were enrolled. HLA-DRB1, DQB1, and DPB1 genotypings were performed by direct DNA sequencing analysis.Results The allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*1302 (18.1%) and HLA-DQB1*0609 (10.1%) in aspirin-induced urticaria were significantly higher than in aspirin-intolerant asthma (5.3%, P=0.0004; 2.0%, P=0.0024) and in normal controls (8.1%, P=0.0005; 3.2%, P=0.0008), and they remained significant after correcting for multiple comparisons. The patients with these two HLA markers had a significantly younger age than patients without, while no associations were found in with respect to atopic status, a history of previous allergic diseases, total IgE level, or presence of underlying chronic urticaria (P〉0.05, respectively). In haplotype analysis, the HLA-DRB1*1302-DQB1*0609-DPB1*0201 was significantly higher in the aspirin-induced urticaria (8.0%) than in the aspirin-intolerant asthma (0.7%, P=0.0014) and normal controls (2.0%, P=0.0006).Conclusion These findings suggest that the HLA-DRB1*1302-DQB1*0609-DPB1*0201 may be a strong genetic marker to determine the aspirin-induced urticaria phenotype.

    Notes: Background and objective The thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) is a receptor for a potent bronchoconstrictor, TBXA2 which is known to be related to bronchial asthma and myocardial infarction. TBXA2R antagonist and TBX synthase inhibitors have been found to be effective in the management of asthmatic patients. This study was aimed to evaluate whether genetic variants of TBXA2R may be related with development of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA)-intolerant asthma (AIA).Methods TBXA2R gene polymorphisms (TBXA2R+795T〉C, TBXA2R+924T〉C) were determined using a single-base extension method in 93 AIA patients compared with 172 patients with ASA-tolerant asthma (ATA) and 118 normal controls (NCs) recruited from the Korean population. HLA DPB1*0301 genotype was performed using a direct sequencing method.Results The rare C allele frequency of TBXA2R+795T〉C was significantly higher in AIA than in ATA (P=0.03) and the TBXA2R+795T〉C polymorphism was also associated with extent of percent fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) after the inhalation of lysine–acetyl salicylic acid in AIA patients (P=0.009); AIA patients homozygous for the +795 C allele had a greater percent fall of FEV1 compared with individuals with TBXA2R+795 CT or TT genotypes. The frequency of patients carrying both the TBXA2R+795T〉C rare allele and HLA DPB1*0301 was significantly higher in AIA patients (29.4%) than in ATA patients (7.3%) (P=0.008, odds ratio=5.3).Conclusion These results suggest that the polymorphism of TBXA2R+795T〉C may increase bronchoconstrictive response to ASA, which could contribute to the development of the AIA phenotype.

    Notes: Background:  5-Lipooxygenase (ALOX5) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) are known as key enzymes in cysteinyl-leukotriene (cys-LT) production, critical mediators in aspirin acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA)-intolerant asthma (AIA). To date, studies of the promoter region of ALOX5 gene has revealed the potential influence of a variable number of tandem repeats of a Sp1- and Egr1-binding motif, on the transcription rate.Methods:  To understand the pathological process that arises from cys-LT overproduction in AIA, we genotyped ALOX5 Sp1 and ALOX5AP poly(A) repeat promoter polymorphism by fluorescent-based capillary electrophoresis in the Korean population.Results:  No significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies of the ALOX5 and ALOX5AP promoter polymorphisms were observed between the three groups. However, there was a strong association of the ALOX5 Sp1 repeat polymorphism with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR; PC20 methacholine); AIA patients carrying a mutant allele (n 〉 5 or n 〈 5 repeats) showed increased AHR compared to AIA patients with wild-type genotype (P = 0.003).Conclusion:  Although the alleles of the ALOX5 and ALOX5AP promoter cannot be considered as a prominent risk factor in the development of AIA, the genetic variant of tandem repeat (GGGCGG; Sp1-binding motif) in ALOX5 promoter is associated with the severity of airway hyperresponsiveness in AIA patients.

    Notes: Background:  Allergy is regarded as a multifactorial condition. Its onset and severity are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Identification of genetic factors involved in asthma development and related phenotypes is a major task in understanding the genetic background of asthma. The possible involvement of IL18 polymorphisms in asthma was examined in a Korean asthma cohort.Methods:  Direct sequencing was performed to discover single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL18 gene. Single-base extension (SBE) method was employed for genotyping. Genotypic influence of IL18 was analysed using logistic and multiple-regression models.Results:  Although no polymorphisms in the IL18 gene showed significant association with the risk of asthma development, analyses of the association with specific serum IgE levels to Dermatophagoides farinae (D.f.) and D. pteronyssinus (D.p.) among asthmatic patients revealed significant associations with two completely linked SNPs, i.e. −148G〉C and +13925A〉C(Ser35Ser) (P = 0.01–0.11 for D.f. and P = 0.005–0.11 for D.p.). Both C allele of −148G〉C and C allele of +13925A〉C showed gene dose-dependent effects on the levels of specific IgE. The lowest IgE levels in homozygotes of minor alleles (1.13 and 1.22 of D.f.; 1.38 and 1.33 of D.p., respectively), intermediate IgE levels in heterozygotes (1.60 and 1.70 of D.f.; 1.84 and 1.92 of D.p., respectively), and the highest levels in homozygotes for major allele (1.93 and 1.93 of D.f.; 2.24 and 2.24 of D.p., respectively), were found.Conclusion:  The genetic relevance of IL18 to specific IgE might offer an important step in understanding the genetic background of allergic diseases.

    Notes: Summary Decomposing debris of Chinese cabbage was found to be harmful to a following mungbean crop grown in the greenhouse. Aqueous or methanolic extracts of decomposing Chinese cabbage residues in soil inhibited the seed germination of mungbean, and the growth of mungbean seedlings. The same effect was observed when mungbean was grown in soil in which Chinese cabbage had previously been grown. No toxicity was found in aqueous extracts of fresh Chinese cabbage shoot or root tissues.

    Notes: Abstract To evaluate the gastric emptying time of pharmaceutical dosage forms in a clinical setting, a relatively simple dual-radionuclide technique was developed. Placebo tablets of six different combinations of shape and size were labeled with indium-111 DTPA and enteric coated. Six volunteers participated in a single-blind and crossover study. Tablets were given in the morning on a fasting stomach with 6 oz of water containing99mTc pertechnetate and continuously observed with a gamma camera. A scintigraph was obtained each minute. The results suggested that the size, shape, or volume of the tablet used in this study had no significant effect in the rate of gastric emptying. The tablets emptied erratically and unpredictably, depending upon their time of arrival in the stomach in relation to the occurrence of interdigestive myoelectric contractions. The method described is a relatively simple and accurate technique to allow one to follow the gastric emptying of tablets.
