Atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy are closely linked; however, the mechanisms that guide the progression of AD to allergic inflammatory responses at other mucosal surfaces, including the gastrointestinal tract, are not well understood. Here, we determined that exposure of mice that have been
BACKGROUND
The clinical manifestations of food allergy include diarrhea and systemic anaphylaxis (shock), which can occur together or by themselves in different subjects. Although ingested food antigens need to be absorbed to induce shock, it is not known whether they need to be absorbed to induce
The roles of mast cells and extrinsic and vagal neural pathways in the anaphylaxis-induced alterations in motility observed at sites remote from antigen exposure were explored. Rats were sensitized to egg albumin (EA) and prepared with 1) electrodes to monitor intestinal myoelectric activity, 2) an
IgE antibodies and mast cells play critical roles in the establishment of allergic responses to food antigens. Curcumin, the active ingredient of the curry spice turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties, and thus may have the capacity to regulate Th2 cells and mucosal mast cell function during
In the Hooded-Lister rat model, food protein induced intestinal anaphylaxis disrupts the migrating motor complex (MMC) and causes an increased frequency of migrating clusters of contractions (MCCs, including giant migrating contractions (GMCs)) and diarrhea. To determine whether mast cell mediators
Idiopathic anaphylaxis (IA) is defined as anaphylaxis without any identifiable precipitating agent or event. The clinical manifestations of IA are the same as allergen-associated (immunologic) anaphylaxis and include urticaria, angioedema, hypotension, tachycardia, wheezing, stridor, pruritus,
Idiopathic anaphylaxis (IA) is defined as anaphylaxis without any identifiable precipitating agent or event. The clinical manifestations of IA are the same as allergen-associated (immunologic) anaphylaxis and include urticaria, angioedema, hypotension, tachycardia, wheezing, stridor, pruritus,
Early symptoms of food allergy, including diarrhea, are caused by IgE-mediated anaphylactic reactions. To clarify the mechanisms of IgE-mediated anaphylactic reactions in the intestine induced by orally administered antigen, a mouse model was established by s.c. implantation of a murine hybridoma
We report a case of nearly fatal cardiovascular collapse attributable to an idiopathic anaphylactic reaction in a 76-year-old man. The event began with gastrointestinal symptoms of abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting as manifestations of IA. The patient subsequently progressed to
The medical literature contains numerous references to the use of oral cromolyn sodium in gastrointestinal disturbances (abdominal pain, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis) and dermatologic illnesses (urticaria, infantile eczema, purpura). But there are few, if any, reports of anaphylactic reactions to
BACKGROUND
The manifestations of anisakiasis are essentially digestive pain, nausea or transit disorders. When it is initially asymptomatic, it is later revealed by a major complication, which is occlusion on an eosinophilic granuloma of the ileum. Over the past 5 years, the international literature
BACKGROUND
Heat-killed Listeria monocytogenes (HKL) potently stimulates interferon (IFN)-gamma production in CD4 T-lymphocytes, and when used as adjuvant for immunotherapy, reduces immunoglobulin (Ig)E production and reverses established allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) in a murine
Vaccine administration into the intestine is known to induce mucosal tolerance most efficiently. Therefore, developing a delivery system that targets the intestinal mucosa is expected to improve the efficiency of immunosuppression. Human enteric adenovirus serotype 40 (Ad40)-based vectors have the
IL-4Ralpha-mediated STAT6 activation serves an essential role in various animal models of allergy and asthma at both the sensitization and effector phases. IL-4 and IL-13 signaling via the IL-4Ralpha chain exacerbates murine anaphylaxis, but the cell-specific requirements for IL-4Ralpha expression
This study was to determine whether alterations in jejunal motility observed after antigen challenge of sensitized rats occurred after extirpation of the celiac-superior mesenteric ganglia. Hooded-Lister rats were prepared with an intact or extirpated celiac-superior mesenteric ganglion, an isolated
