Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) is a traditional medicine used in Korea, Japan and China to treat various diseases including catharsis, diaphoretic gastritis and stomach cancer. However, the effects of RVS on allergic inflammatory diseases are unknown to date. This study showed the antiallergic
Some of the second-generation H1 antihistamines reduce the bronchoconstrictor response after exercise and antigen challenge. For example, terfenadine causes a slight but significant increase in forced expiratory volume after 1 second. At doses of 120 and 240 mg, terfenadine has a protective effect
Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, was marketed in 1998 as an oral supplementary treatment to patients with mild to moderate asthma. The aim of this study was to describe the early discontinuation pattern among montelukast users in Denmark in the period of 1 March 1998 to 31 December
In this study the effects of picumast dihydrochloride (3,4-dimethyl-7-[4-(4-chlorobenzyl)piperazine-1-yl]propoxycoumarine++ + dihydrochloride) a novel antiallergic agent, on antigen-induced early and late responses in allergic sheep were examined. For all studies picumast dihydrochloride was
The antiallergic drug repirinast (30 mg/kg i.p.) significantly inhibited antigen-induced early and late pulmonary responses in guinea pigs. The same dose of repirinast significantly inhibited bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia and neutrophilia 5 h after antigen challenge (at the peak of the late
A case of hypereosinophilic syndrome showed clinical and hemodynamic signs of Löffler's endomyocardiopathy. The case is peculiar because of the young age, the early diagnosis, the lack of clinical and hemodynamic signs of heart failure. Some peculiarities: an apical diastolic murmur and a diastolic
The effect of the anti-allergic drug disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on immediate and late responses to anti-human IgE was examined in thirteen healthy subjects. DSCG, 250 micrograms, applied intradermally together with anti-IgE had no effect on the immediate flare and weal response, whereas the
The pharmacology of antigen-induced early and late phase airway responses and the associated antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness was studied in allergic sheep. Data from studies with anti-allergic agents and specific receptor antagonists, especially leukotriene antagonists and antagonists of
OBJECTIVE
The effects of cyclosporine A eye drops on the early-phase reaction were investigated in a type-I allergic conjunctivitis model.
METHODS
Mice were actively sensitized with ragweed (RW) absorbed on aluminium hydroxide gel and challenged with RW for 10 days (single challenge model) or 10-14
We have previously reported that tranilast, an anti-allergic agent, specifically suppresses collagen synthesis in normal skin fibroblasts and to a greater extent in keloid fibroblasts. We found in this study that the specific suppression of collagen synthesis by tranilast was limited to the
We conducted a multi-institutional (11 facilities), early phase II study of BMS-181339 (paclitaxel), a novel anti-cancer drug, for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The 150 mg/m2 dose of paclitaxel was given by intravenous infusion over 24 hours every three weeks. When fifteen patients were
Peritoneal mast cells from rats immunized with dinitrophenylated ovalbumin (DNP-OA) or normal cells passively sensitized with mouse anti-DNP-OA were incubated in vitro with DNP-bovine serum albumin in the absence of Ca++. This procedure induced desensitization of the cells, such that histamine
BACKGROUND
It is well known that allergen-specific nasal challenge (ASNC) is a fruitful tool with which to evaluate antiallergic activity exerted by a drug. Azelastine is a new antihistamine also available in topical form (i.e., nasal spray).
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate the
Moringa oleifera Lam. is a commonly used plant in herbal medicine and has various reported bioactivities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer and antidiabetes. It is rich in nutrients and polyphenols. The plant also has been traditionally used for alleviating allergic A number of clinically useful drugs were tested for their ability to inhibit the inflammatory edema induced by 1,8-cineole (cineole), a terpenoid oxide, in the hindpaw of rats. Paw edema was measured by plethysmography following subplantar injection of cineole (20 μl/paw). The edema inducing effect
