Allergen-specific immunotherapy is widely used for allergic rhinitis and asthma treatment worldwide. This study explored the efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with the extracts of Dermatophagoides Farinae (D. farinae Drops) on house dust mites (HDM)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD). 239 patients with HDM-induced AD were recruited and exposure to a multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trials for 36 weeks, which were randomly divided into placebo and sublingual D. farinae Drops groups (high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose), respectively. Statistical analysis was performed in three groups: Full Analysis Set, Per Protocol Set and Safety Set. 48 cases have withdrawn from the study before the end of study. As primary outcomes, significant decreases in scoring atopic dermatitis and total medication score were showed in medium-dose and high-dose D. farinae Drops groups. In the sixth visit, the skin lesion area showed a statistically significant difference between high-dose/medium-dose D. farinae Drops group and placebo group (p < .05). Most adverse events are slight, and no life-threatening adverse drug reaction happened. Our research demonstrates the beneficial effect of SLIT with high or medium dose D. farinae Drops on AD, and the treatment was well tolerated.
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major leading causes of tumor-related deaths worldwide. Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily C (ABCC) consists of 13 members, ABCC1 to 13, which were examined for their associations with GC.The online Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to determine the prognostic significance of ABCC subfamily members in GC. Stratified analyses were performed using gender, disease stage, degree of tumor differentiation, expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and Lauren classification. Molecular mechanisms were examined using the database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery database.ABCC1, ABCC3, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, and ABCC10 expression showed prognostic significance in the whole population and in male and female subpopulations (all P .05). Furthermore, high expression of most ABCC family members always suggested a poor prognosis, except for ABCC7 (P > .05). Stratified analyses revealed that ABCC1, ABCC3, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, and ABCC10 expression showed prognostic significance for the whole population, as well as male and female populations. ABCC2 and ABCC9 were significantly correlated with all disease stages, while ABCC2 and ABCC6 were significantly correlated with all Lauren classifications. Expression of ABCC1, ABCC3, ABCC5, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, and ABCC10 was significantly correlated with either negative or positive of HER2 status (all P .05). Enrichment analysis indicated that these genes were involved in ATPase activity, transmembrane transport, or were ABC transporters (all P .05).ABCC1, ABCC3, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, and ABCC10 may be potential prognosis biomarkers for GC, acting as ABC transporters and via ATPase activity.Abbreviations: ABC = ATP-binding cassette, ABCC adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily C, ATP = adenosine triphosphate, BP = biological process, CC = cellular component, CI = confidence interval, DAVID = database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery, GC = gastric cancer, GGI = gene-gene interaction, GO = gene ontology, HER2 = human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, HR = hazard ratio, KEGG = Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, MF = molecular function, MRPs = multidrug resistance proteins, OS = overall survival.
We found a novel homozygous mutation of G284R in the transmembrane domain of the SLC6A19 transporter in the proband, with typical dermatologic and neurologic manifestations and increased levels of urinary neutral amino acids.
We present a rare case of nasal-type CD56-negative NK/T-cell lymphoma. The patient developed hemophagocytic syndrome during diagnosis and treatment. The patient presented to our hospital (Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China) with "nasal congestion for 3 months and scattered erythema, nodules, and ulcers all over the body for 1 month." We analyzed clinical manifestations, skin histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization results. Histopathology of the skin revealed a moderate amount of atypical lymphocyte infiltration between the entire dermis and collagen bundles. Immunohistochemistry showed the following: CD30 (+), TIA-1(+), CD3(2GV6) (+), CD5 part (+), CD8 part (+), CD43 (+), CD56 (-), CD4 (-), CD20 (-), PAX5 (-), PCK(-), P63 (-), P40 (-), EGFR (-), Ki-67 (the hot spot LI is approximately 80%), and in situ hybridization EBER-ROCH (+). The diagnosis made was "NK/T cell lymphoma nasal type". This type of lymphoma is aggressive, progresses quickly, and has a poor prognosis. Early clinical manifestations are extremely atypical, especially in the absence of rash. Analysis of the skin manifestations of the disease has a positive effect on its early diagnosis, early treatment, and prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
