    Notizen: We report a 35-year-old woman who had had bronchial asthma for 17 years. Her asthma worsened and became unstable on treatment with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), budesonide (BUD), and oral glucocorticosteroids (GC). At the age of 31, she had participated in a clinical trial with fluticasone propionate (FP), and after 2 weeks' treatment her asthma was well controlled. Because of pregnancy, her participation was terminated and treatment continued with available inhaled GC; however, the disease deteriorated and treatment with FP was resumed 2 years ago. Lung function normalized after 3 weeks and she has remained clinically stable since.

    Notizen: In temperate climates, energy-conserving measures may increase indoor humidity, enhancing house-dust mite (HDM) growth. Movement of families to “healthy” homes with mechanical ventilation systems reduced HDM exposure. The effect on asthma control of moving to the “healthy” homes was studied in 14 asthmatic patients allergic to HDM. Base-line evaluations of lung function, asthma symptoms, and medication requirements were made before moving and again after 5 and 15 months’ residence. A control group of 11 mite-sensitive asthmatic patients who did not move were examined contemporaneously with the study group at base line and at the first follow-up investigation. After 5 months, the residents of the “healthy” homes improved in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), medicine score, and serum IgE. These changes were significantly different from control group measurements. After 15 months, statistically significant improvements from base line were found in FEV1, average daily peak expiratory flow values, medicine score, symptom score, and serum IgE. Insignificant trends toward improvement were seen in provocation concentration of histamine and blood eosinophils. A significant relation was found between reduction in medicine score and fall in HDM exposure. The present study shows that a specific HDM-avoidance procedure can result in an overall, clinical improvement in HDM-sensitive asthmatic patients.

    Notizen: 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.

    Notizen: 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.

    Notizen: 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.

    Notizen: Background:  Allergic asthma is an increasingly common disease of complex inheritance. Several studies have suggested candidate regions, but genetic heterogeneity, ethnic differences and varying study designs may in part explain the lack of identified and confirmed susceptibility genes. Investigation of different populations will further clarify the topic. We therefore evaluated allergic asthma and increased total and specific IgE in 39, 45 and 57 sib-pairs from 100 Danish allergy families. Methods:  Affected sib-pairs meeting a narrow phenotype definition were selected for the three phenotypes atopy, allergic asthma and increased total IgE. We performed a total genome scan using 446 microsatellite markers and obtained nonparametric linkage results from the MAPMAKER/SIBS computer program. Results:  Our study revealed four candidate regions (MLS 〉 2) on chromosome 1p36, 3q21–q22, 5q31 and 6p24–p22, and 15 candidate regions (1 〈 MLS 〈 2) that may contain susceptibility genes for asthma and atopy. We did not find linkage to the candidate genes TNF-β, FcER1β and Il4R-α, except for weak support for linkage of the asthma phenotype to TNF-β (MLS = 1.18). Conclusions:  We found evidence for two new asthma and atopy loci, 1p36 and 3q21–q22, and supported linkage in the Danish population to seven previously reported candidate regions.

    Notizen: Background The purpose was to study activation markers of the eosinophil granulocytes in seasonal allergic rhinitis, and the impact of topical steroid therapy thereupon. Methods Sixty-three rhinitis patients with monoallergy to grass were examined before and at peak pollen season. Blood eosinophil count, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) in serum and nasal lavage fluid were measured. During the season, patients were randomized to treatment with intranasal fluticasone propionate 0.1 mg o.d. (n=26), 0.2 mg o.d. (n=25), or placebo (n = 12). Six healthy persons served as controls. Results During the season, all parameters, except nasal lavage ECP, increased in the placebo group (P〈0.001 – P〈0.05). Significant differences were seen between the steroid grotips and the placebo group for all parameters (P〈0.001–F〈0.05). Higher eosinophil count (P〈0.05), serum EPO (F〈0.02), and nasal lavage EPO (P〈0.05) were found in patients before season than in controls. The following winter, 44 patients returned for repeated measurement. Lower levels of nasal lavage EPO were observed for patients than levels at the beginning of the season (P〈0.0001). Conclusions Intranasal fluticasone propionate reduced inflammation of the nasal mucosa, demonstrated locally by nasal lavage ECP and EPO, and systemically by blood eosinophils, serum ECP, and serum EPO. EPO seemed more sensitive than ECP as indicator of allergic inflammation. EPO demonstrated some perennial eosinophil activity in hay fever patients, increasing locally during spring.

    Notizen: T lymphocytes play a major role in many immune responses. In the last decade, special focus has been on the function of Th1 and Th2 effector cells. Now the importance of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cells in maintenance of the immunological homeostasis emerges. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder often affecting the lungs. The typical sarcoid granulomas consists of epitheloid cells, macrophages and lymphocytes, mainly CD4+ T cells of Th1 phenotype. We have cultured T cells from bronchial biopsies of patients with sarcoidosis as well as from controls in high levels of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and IL-4 and demonstrate spontaneously arising CD4+ CD25+ populations and high concentrations of IL-10 in these cultures. The main difference between cultures of sarcoid origin compared to controls is a very much higher concentration of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in cultures of sarcoid origin.

    Notizen: Combining inhaled long-acting β-2 agonist (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) seems to offer asthma control at a lower dose of ICS than achieved by ICS alone. Fine mapping of T-cell surface markers by flow cytometry offers a detailed status of the individual's inflammatory response. The frequency of MT2 (CD4+CD45RA–CD62L+CD11adim) and MT1 (CD4+CD45RA–CD62L–CD11abright) cells in peripheral blood, and their ratio, has been shown to differ predictably in atopics and patients with leprosy, where MT2 correlates with a Th2 phenotype and MT1 with a Th1 phenotype. Stable asthmatics, requiring fluticasone propionate (FP) 750–1000 µg daily or equivalent, were randomized to receive, double-blinded, either Seretide®[salmeterol and fluticasone propionate (SFC, n = 16)] 50 µg/500 µg bd or FP 500 µg bd (n = 17). If asthma was controlled based on lung function and symptoms at clinic visits every 6 weeks, ICS dose was tapered until asthma exacerbated or 0 µg was reached. The frequency and ratio of MT2 and MT1 T cells of the patients was monitored at 6 week intervals. As treatment tapered, the frequency of MT2 cells decreased (P = 0038 from first to final visit), whereas that of MT1 cells increased. The ratio of MT2/MT1 decreased (P = 0049 from first to final visit). In patients receiving LABA + ICS, the fall in MT2/MT1 ratio appeared to be more pronounced than in patients receiving ICS alone. Thus, the MT2 phenotype may be associated with stable asthma, whereas an imminent exacerbation may associate with an increase in the MT1 phenotype. LABA may allow for a greater effect of FP on the MT ratio.
