Use of infliximab, an anti-tumor necrosis alpha antibody, for inflammatory dermatoses.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Infliximab is a monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor alpha currently approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, a controlled trial reported its effectiveness for psoriasis. OBJECTIVE The object of our study was to

Total and antigen- (fungi, mites and staphylococcal enterotoxins) specific IgEs in nasal polyps is related to local eosinophilic inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Total and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) in nasal polyps (NP) is related to local eosinophilic inflammation. However, it remains unclear which antigens cause a stronger accumulation of eosinophils in NP. We investigated whether local IgEs to specific antigens correlated with local

Nasal blockage induced by oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in a guinea-pig model of allergic rhinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying nasal symptoms in patients with aspirin hypersensitivity, we evaluated the effects of orally administered non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the nasal patency of guinea pigs with cedar pollen-induced chronic allergic rhinitis. Indomethacin (10

The spectrum of gastrointestinal toxicity and effect on disease activity of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

The safety and toxicity associated with the use of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been extensively studied. Thirty-three patients with IBD who were prescribed celecoxib or rofecoxib were identified from questionnaire during

[Nasal allergy and leukotriene. 2. Kinetics of peptide leukotrienes and inflammatory cells in nasal lavage fluid after antigen challenge].

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of peptide leukotrienes (LTs) on the onset of characteristic hyperreactive nasal symptoms of nasal allergy by observing the time course of the correlation among degrees of nasal symptoms, and by observing the amount of chemical mediators and the

Outcome of cytomegalovirus infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections complicating the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS The records and clinical courses were reviewed for all IBD patients who were evaluated at the IBD Center of the Cedars-Sinai Medical

Eosinophilic inflammation, remodeling of lower airway, bronchial responsiveness and cough reflex sensitivity in non-asthmatic subjects with nasal allergy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND It has been reported that nasal allergy influences the lower airway inflammation and functions. We elucidated whether nasal allergy would contribute to lower airway inflammation and functions. METHODS 266 subjects aged 21-39 years were interviewed with special emphasis on history of

Early hepatic nodular hyperplasia and submicroscopic fibrosis associated with 6-thioguanine therapy in inflammatory bowel disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND 6-Thioguanine (6-TG) has been used as an alternative thiopurine for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients not responsive to or intolerant of azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). 6-TG-related hepatotoxicity, including liver biochemistry value elevations, sinusoidal collagen

Pollinosis etiologic relationship between excessive IL-4 production and down-regulation of the inflammation-suppressive system.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous findings suggest a bi-directional relationship between the immune and endocrine systems, which may expand to a major inflammation-regulatory mechanism, although its mechanism is largely unknown, especially in the human body. Lymphokine and neuroendocrine peptide hormones have been

Respiratory impairment and systemic inflammation in cedar asthmatics removed from exposure.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Prior research has shown that removing occupational asthmatics from exposure does not routinely lead to significant improvements in respiratory impairment. These studies were of limited duration and factors determining recovery remain obscure. Our objective was to evaluate residual

Airway inflammation, exhaled nitric oxide, and severity of asthma in patients with western red cedar asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Examination of induced sputum and measurement of exhaled NO have been advocated as noninvasive methods of assessing the degree of airway inflammation. In this study, we performed follow-up evaluation on 71 subjects with asthma caused by exposure to Western red cedar; 50 subjects had left exposure,

Quantitative evaluation of inflammatory cells in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

This study aimed to investigate the inflammatory changes occurring in the allergic conjunctiva due to different allergens. Ninety-two allergic conjunctivitis patients were divided into two groups: group I showed cedar pollen sensitivity only; group II showed sensitivities to cedar pollen and

Streamer discharge reduces pollen-induced inflammatory responses and injury in human airway epithelial cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although epidemiological studies have demonstrated that cedar pollen influences respiratory health, effective method for inactivating cedar pollen has not been established. Streamer discharge is a type of plasma discharge in which high-speed electrons collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. It

Exhaled nitric oxide as a marker of airway inflammation for an epidemiologic study in schoolchildren.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels are increased in airway inflammatory disorders, such as asthma. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether eNO could serve as a noninvasive marker of allergic airway inflammation for an epidemiologic study in schoolchildren. METHODS Two hundred

Correlation between airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation in a young adult population: eosinophil, ECP, and cytokine levels in induced sputum.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Eosinophil counts and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels in the airway are elevated in asthmatic patients. However, few studies have examined the correlation between various cytokines in the sputum and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in young adults with or without
