Antacids and dietary supplements with an influence on the gastric pH increase the risk for food sensitization
Elevation of the gastric pH increases the risk for sensitization against food allergens by hindering protein breakdown. This can be caused by acid-suppressing medication like sucralphate, H2-receptor blockers and proton pump inhibitors, as shown in recent murine experimental and human observational studies. The aim of the present study was to assess the sensitization capacity of the dietary supplement base powder and of over-the-counter antacids. Changes of the pH as well as of protein digestion due to base powder or antacids were measured in vitro. To examine the in vivo influence, BALB/c mice were fed codfish extract with one of the acid-suppressing substances. Read-out of antibody levels in the sera, of cytokine levels of stimulated splenocytes and of intradermal skin tests was performe......

Histamine induces Th2 activation through the histamine receptor 1 in house dust mite rhinitic but not asthmatic patients
Effects of mast cell-released histamine on smooth muscle and endothelial cells are considered as responsible of immediate symptoms of anaphylaxis. However, little is known about histamine effects on Th2 lymphocytes, which orchestrate the allergic reaction upstream of mast cells. We addressed this question in house dust mite (HDM) allergics, according to the presence of rhinitis or asthma and allergen stimulation. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell from 15 rhinitic and 14 asthmatic HDM-allergic subjects and 16 controls were cultured with Der p 1 or histamine. The effect of Der p 1 on histamine receptor (H1R and H2R) expression was studied. T-cell cytokine production was studied upon Der p 1 or histamine stimulation. The role of H1R in histamine effects was assessed with levocetirizine. H1R a......

Adverse drug reactions linked to Ciwujia injection: a systematic review of 521 cases
Conclusion The relevant information of ADRs for Ciwujia injection was insufficiently reported in included studies. The ADR type distribution between clinical studies and ADR reports was inconsistency. Most of the reported ADRs were mild, and were treated successfully by slowing down the drip velocity or by withdrawing the drug and treating the symptoms. As Ciwujia injection was one of the highest numbers of ADR reports of traditional Chinese medicine injections, high quality ADR monitoring, standardized ADR reporting, and timely analysis risk factors of ADRs are extremely urgent.

Intravenous PEG-asparaginase during remission induction in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Over the past several decades, L-asparaginase, an important component of therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), has typically been administered intramuscularly rather than intravenously in North America because of concerns regarding anaphylaxis. We evaluated the feasibility of giving polyethylene glycosylated (PEG)–asparaginase, the polyethylene glycol conjugate of Escherichia coli L-asparaginase, by intravenous infusion in children with ALL. Between 2005 and 2007, 197 patients (age, 1-17 years) were enrolled on Dana-Farber Cancer Institute ALL Consortium Protocol 05-01 and received a single dose of intravenous PEG-asparaginase (2500 IU/m2) over 1 hour during remission induction. Serum asparaginase activity more than 0.1 IU/mL was detected in 95%, 88%, and 7% of patients at ......
