“…The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in the general population has been reported to be increasing year by year, and recent research suggested that approximately 20% of the world population are affected by allergic rhinitis. 1) In the treatment of allergic rhinitis, anti-histaminics, corticosteroids and anti-allergic drugs are widely used, and some traditional folk medicines have been used 2) ; therefore, it is meaningful to develop new compounds from natural products for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.…”

The anti-rhinitis properties of Pleurotus pulmonarius were investigated in BALB/c mice. A single administration of Pleurotus Pulmonarius caused no significant effect on antigen-induced nasal rubbing and sneezing at a dose of 500 mg/kg, but a significant inhibition was observed after 2 weeks of repeated treatment at this dose, and at a dose of 200 mg/kg, it also caused a significant inhibition after repeated administration for 4 weeks. Pleurotus pulmonarius showed no significant inhibitory effect on the production of IgE. In addition, Pleurotus pulmonarius caused no inhibition of histamine-induced nasal rubbing and sneezing at a dose of 500 mg/kg, but in vitro study, it inhibited histamine release from rat mast cells induced by compound 48/80 at the soluble supernatant solution of 30 and 100 m mg/ml of Pleurotus pulmonarius suspended in PBS. These results demonstrated that Pleurotus pulmonarius may be effective in the relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis through inhibition of histamine release.

“…The method was first used in laboratory animals (guinea pigs) in 1994 (23). Since then, a small number of studies have used AR to describe the effect of pharmacological interventions on the nasal mucosa in guinea pigs (11,12,(19)(20)(21)24).…”

. Acoustic rhinometry in dog and cat compared with a fluid-displacement method and magnetic resonance imaging. J Appl Physiol 95: 635-642, 2003. First published April 18, 2003 10.1152/japplphysiol.01105. 2002.-An increasing number of studies have used acoustic rhinometry (AR) for study of pharmacological interventions on nasal cavity dimensions in dogs and cats, but there have been no attempts to validate AR in these species. This is done in the present study. We compared area-distance relationships of nasal cavities from five decapitated dogs (3.5-41 kg) and cats (3.8-6 kg). AR was compared with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and a fluid-displacement method (FDM) using perfluorocarbon. AR measured 88% (98-79%) (mean and 95% confidence interval) of nasal cavity volume in dogs determined by FDM and 71% (83-59%) in cats. AR markedly underestimated nasal cavity dimensions when minimum areas were below 0.1 cm 2 in dogs and 0.05 cm 2 in cats. AR underestimation increased with the severity of the constriction and with distance. Cross-sectional areas in the deeper parts of the cavity measured 76% (99-54%) of FDM in dogs and 52% (66-39%) in cats. AR agreed well with MR, especially in the deeper part of the cavity. MR images showed that the nasal cavities had a very complex structure not expected to be reproduced by AR. MR could not be considered a "gold standard" because definition of the cross-sectional area of the lumen depended critically on subjective choices. FDM produced repeatable measurements and possibly offers the most adequate reference in future evaluation of AR. AR underestimated what we believed were the most correct cross-sectional areas determined by FDM, especially in the deeper part of the dog and cat nasal cavities. Despite these difficulties, AR has been shown to be useful to describe qualitative changes in cross-sectional area. nasal airway volume; nasal pharmacology; laboratory animals; rhinology

“…Among 914,612 Taiwanese subjects diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, 35.6% had taken Chinese herbal medicines [4] and SST was found to be one of the two most commonly used combination treatments. In an experimental study, the numbers of sneezes and scratches were significantly reduced by pretreatment with SST [71]. Eosinophil infiltration and volume changes in the nasal mucosa induced by LT D4 were also inhibited.…”

Objective. To determine the prevalence of herbal treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods. In this prospective study, patients who were diagnosed with perennial allergic rhinitis were questioned about their use of natural products/herbal therapies for their symptoms. Results. In total, 230 patients were enrolled. Overall, 37.3% of the patients stated that they had used natural products/herbal therapies at least once. Women were more likely than men to use herbal supplements (38.3% versus 32.4%). Ten different types of herbal supplements were identified, with stinging nettle (Urtica dioicath), black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), and Spirulina being the most common (12.6%, 6.1%, and 5.7%, resp.). Conclusion. This study found a high prevalence of herbal treatment usage for the relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms in Turkey. The herbal products identified in this study and in the literature are discussed.
