The proportion of patients receiving intravenous gelatin-based colloids has increased in the last decade due to safety concerns about starch-based products. Recent research suggests hypersensitivity reactions to intravenous gelatin-based solutions occur at similar rates per administration as non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking agents such as rocuronium (6.2/100,000 administrations).

Background: Rush desensitization can provide short-term tolerance to individuals who are allergic to certain medications in instances where other therapeutic interventions are limited. While rush DS is typically successful in preventing adverse type I hypersensitivity reactions, the mechanism of allergic protection remains unknown. Given the rise in prevalence of individuals displaying multiple allergies, understanding the impact of rush DS on "bystander" allergens, or additional allergens to which an individual is sensitized, could help inform clinical recommendations.

Vaccine adverse events and controversial safety issues have occurred in recent decades in Japan: aseptic meningitis following the measles-mumps-rubella combined vaccine (MMR), anaphylaxis after immunization with live virus vaccines and inactivated split influenza vaccine, an increased incidence of febrile illness following the simultaneous administration of inactivated vaccines, and chronic pain with neurological illness after immunization with the human papilloma virus vaccine (HPV). Vaccine adverse events are a matter of concern for the public as well as general practitioners; some are within the range of assumptions that adverse reactions after live attenuated vaccines are related to the nature of their parental wild-type viruses. Vaccines stimulate the innate immunity of host immunological defense mechanisms and induce the development of specific acquired immunity. Read More

Corticosteroids are widely used for the treatment of allergic reactions but paradoxically themselves may induce acute, delayed, local or systemic allergic reactions and even anaphylaxis with Kounis syndrome. They can suppress the release of arachidonic acid from mast cell membranes, via phospholipase A2 and eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibition. Corticosteroids can promote cell apoptosis and mediate in annexin or lipocortin synthesis, substances that modulate inflammatory cell activation, adhesion molecule expression, transmigratory and phagocytic functions.

Mast cells play a pivotal role in allergic reactions and inflammations. Aggregation of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) eventually leads to the release of granule components such as histamine, as well as the de novo synthesis of inflammatory cytokines and lipid mediators. These substances are involved in the development of allergy and inflammation. Read More

Peanut is an allergenic legume that can cross-react with other plant-based foods, notably other legumes and tree nuts. Peanut allergic individuals can be both co-sensitized as well as co-allergic to such items, requiring foresight when eliciting a clinical history of reaction, in the diagnostic evaluation of such allergies, and in the counseling of patients as to food avoidances after a diagnosis is made. Legume allergens belong to the Fabaceae family and encompass the cupin, prolamin, PR-10, and LTP families, which mediate cross-sensitization including that between peanut and tree nut. Read More

Background: Omega-5 gliadins are a group of highly repetitive gluten proteins in wheat flour encoded on the 1B chromosome of hexaploid wheat. These proteins are the major sensitizing allergens in a severe form of food allergy called wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA). The elimination of omega-5 gliadins from wheat flour through biotechnology or breeding approaches could reduce the immunogenic potential and adverse health effects of the flour. Read More

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) on atopic dermatitis (AD) in the BALB/c mouse model. The AdMSCs attenuated clinical symptoms associated with AD, decreased numbers of degranulated mast cells (MCs), IgE level, amount of histamine released, and prostaglandin E2 level. Atopic dermatitis increased the expression levels of cytokines/chemokines, such as interleukin-5 (IL-5), macrophage inflammatory protein-1ß (MIP-1ß), MIP-2, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5), and IL-17, in BALB/c mouse.

Six seongsanamides were isolated from the culture broth of Bacillus safensis KCTC 12796BP, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis combined with Marfey's method, electronic circular dichroism calculations, and biosynthetic gene cluster analysis. Compounds 1-4 were bicyclic peptides with isodityrosine residues; 5 and 6 were monocyclic peptides. Only the bicyclic seongsanamides inhibited degranulation and LTC/PGD generation in IgE/Ag-stimulated bone marrow-derived mast cells. Read More

We describe a case of severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) with severe mitral incompetence due to systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet (SAM) that was recognised thanks to the immediate availability of transoesophageal echocardiography during the resuscitation of anaphylactic shock. The patient rapidly responded to cessation of the epinephrine (adrenaline) infusion and intravascular volume expansion with intravenous crystalloid. The absence of risk factors for developing SAM/LVOTO serve as a warning to clinicians to consider this diagnosis in all cases of epinephrine non-responsive anaphylactic shock. Read More

Background: Psychological stress and heightened MC activation are linked with important immunological disorders including allergy, anaphylaxis, asthma, and functional bowel diseases, but the mechanisms remain poorly defined. We have previously demonstrated that activation of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) system potentiates MC degranulation responses during IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and psychological stress, via CRF receptor subtype 1 (CRF) expressed on MCs.
Objective: In this study, we investigated the role of CRF receptor subtype 2 (CRF) as a modulator of stress-induced MC degranulation and associated disease pathophysiology. Read More

Adrenaline is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and, therefore, listed as an essential medication for the treatment of anaphylaxis by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the availability of auto-injector (AAI) forms for use in the first-aid treatment is limited to only 32% of all 195-world countries, mostly high-income countries. The key issues leading to the lack of availability of AAIs include cost but also national regulations, lack of regional evidence about the value of epinephrine and the limited accurate data about the epidemiology of anaphylaxis.
