TY - JOUR. T1 - Regulation of plasma histamine levels by the mast cell clock and its modulation by stress. AU - Nakamura, Yuki. AU - Ishimaru, Kayoko. AU - Shibata, Shigenobu. AU - Nakao, Atsuhito. PY - 2017/1/11. Y1 - 2017/1/11. N2 - At steady state, plasma histamine levels exhibit circadian variations with nocturnal peaks, which is implicated in the nighttime exacerbation of allergic symptoms. However, the regulatory mechanisms are largely unexplored. This study determined how steady-state plasma histamine levels are regulated and affected by environmental factors. We found that plasma histamine levels decreased in mast cell-deficient mice and their circadian variations were lost in mast cell-deficient mice reconstituted with bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) harboring a mutation in the circadian gene Clock. Clock temporally regulates expression of organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3), which is involved in histamine transport, in mast cells; OCT inhibition abolished circadian variations in ...

BACKGROUND Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been reported to enhance the symptoms of wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA). In contrast to many reports on WDEIA, there have been only a few reports of wheat-dependent aspirin-induced anaphylaxis not induced by the combination of wheat and exercise. METHODS Two patients with wheat-dependent anaphylaxis underwent provocation tests to clarify the cause of their symptoms. Skin-prick testing (SPT) was also performed with and without administration of aspirin. Specific IgE antibody to wheat, gluten, and omega-5 gliadin were examined. RESULTS In the provocation tests, anaphylactic reactions were not induced by wheat or aspirin alone or by the combination of wheat and exercise, but were induced by the combination of wheat and aspirin. An increase in the blood histamine level was detected after provocation in both patients. Pretreatment with aspirin enhanced the SPT reactions to wheat and gluten in both

Hypersensitivity reactions (HR) are immune responses that are exaggerated or inappropriate against an antigen or allergen. Coombs and Gell classified hypersensitivity reactions into four forms. Type I, type II, and type III hypersensitivity reactions are known as immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHR) because occur within 24 hours. Antibodies including IgE, IgM, and IgG mediate them.[1]. Type I or Anaphylactic Response. Anaphylactic Responseis mediated by IgE antibodies that are produced by the immune system in response to environmental proteins (allergens) such as pollens, animal danders or dust mites. These antibodies (IgE) bind to mast cells and basophils, which contain histamine granules that are released in the reaction and cause inflammation. Type I hypersensitivity reactions can be seen in bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, food allergy, allergic conjunctivitis, and anaphylactic shock.[2][3]. Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency because can lead to an ...

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions including allergic/and anaphylactoid reactions can occur with the use of TISSEEL. Cases have been reported in post marketing experience with Baxters fibrin sealant.In specific cases, these reactions have progressed to severe anaphylaxis. Such reactions may especially be seen if TISSEEL is applied repeatedly over time or in the same setting, or if systemic aprotinin has been administered previously. Even if the first treatment was well tolerated, this may not exclude the occurrence of an allergic reaction after a subsequent administration of TISSEEL or systemic aprotinin. Observed symptoms of allergic anaphylactic reactions to TISSEEL have included: bradycardia, tachycardia, hypotension, flushing, bronchospasm, wheezing, dyspnea, nausea, urticaria, angioedema, pruritus, erythema and paresthesia. Such reactions can also occur in patients receiving TISSEEL for the first time ...

Adverse reactions to food, that is, food allergy and intolerance have gained considerable attention. Food allergy is believed to be responsible for most immediate-type food-induced hypersensitivity reactions. Clinically, these reactions are characterized by a variety of signs and symptoms that occur within minutes or hours after consumption of the offending food. Reactions may be limited or more generalized with involvement of the skin, nose, eyes, and/or lungs. In more severe cases, cardiovascular symptoms including hypotension, shock, cardiac dysrhythmias, and death can occur. In food-allergic individuals, IgE is produced against naturally occurring food components, primarily glycoproteins that usually retain their allergenicity after heating and/or proteolysis [2].. Whereas in the United States, peanuts and tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, cashews, and others) are responsible for the majority of severe anaphylactic reactions, followed by shellfish (crustaceans and mollusks) and fish, ...

Risk of Anaphylactic Reaction While taking beta-blockers, patients with a history of severe anaphylactic reaction to a variety of allergens may be more reactive to repeated challenge, either accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic. Such patients may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat allergic reaction.. Impaired Renal of Hepatic Function Studies on the effect of acebutolol in patients with renal insufficiency have not been performed in the U.S. Foreign published experience shows that acebutolol has been used successfully in chronic renal insufficiency. Acebutolol is excreted through the GI tract, but the active metabolite, diacetolol, is eliminated predominantly by the kidney. There is a linear relationship between renal clearance of diacetolol and creatinine clearance. Therefore, the daily dose of acebutolol should be reduced by 50% when the creatinine clearance is less than 50 mL/min and by 75% when it is less than 25 mL/min. Acebutolol should be used cautiously in ...

an″ă-fĭ-lak′sĭs) [ana- + (pro)phylaxis] A sudden, severe allergic reaction between an allergenic antigen and immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to mast cells, which stimulates the sudden release of immunological mediators locally or throughout the body. The first symptoms occur within minutes, and a recurrence may follow hours later (late-stage response). Anaphylaxis can only occur in someone previously sensitized to an allergen because the initial exposure causes immunoglobulin E (IgE) to bind to mast cells. Anaphylaxis may be local or systemic. Local anaphylactic reactions include hay fever, hives, and allergic gastroenteritis. Systemic anaphylaxis produces peripheral vasodilation, bronchospasm, and laryngeal edema and can be life-threatening. anaphylactic (an″ă-fĭ-lak′tik), adj. ...

Despite strict avoidance, severely food-allergic children experience frequent and potentially severe food-induced anaphylaxis (FSFA). There are no accepted preventive interventions for FSFA. A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula prevents anaphylaxis in murine food allergy models, and has immunomodulatory effects in humans. We analyzed the effects of TCM treatment on three pediatric patients with FSFA. Three FSFA patients (P) ages 9-16 years (P1 allergic to milk; P2 and P3 to tree nuts) qualified for case analysis. All experienced numerous reactions requiring administration of rescue medications and emergency room (ER) visits during the 2 years prior to starting TCM. P1 experienced approximately 100 reactions, 50 epinephrine administrations, 40 ER visits, and 3 admissions to intensive care units. P2 experienced 30 reactions, all requiring epinephrine administration, as well as 10 emergency hospitalizations. P3 experienced 400 reactions, five of which required epinephrine administration and ER

At least a third of reactions in children with food-induced anaphylaxis to a known allergen occur under adult supervision, according to new research led by AllerGen researchers using data from AllerGens nationwide Cross-Canada Anaphylaxis REgistry (C-CARE).. The study, published in the November issue of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, found that inadvertent exposures to a known food allergen in children are frequent, and in the majority of supervised reactions, adults other than the childs parents were present.. These findings highlight the importance of increasing education and awareness among all caregivers of food-allergic children, says the studys senior author Dr. Moshe Ben-Shoshan..

There is a controversy associated with the effects of immunotherapy aimed at desensitising patients to house dust mites on their reactions to snails and other molluscs and crustacea. Van Ree et al. (1996) [1713] first reported that house-dust mite immunotherapy is accompanied by the induction of IgE against snail and shrimp. Out of 17 sera over a 14-20 month study, the average IgE response to snail showed a significant increase and this included two conversions from negative to strongly positive. The IgE response to snail (, 10% binding in a snail RAST) was confirmed by a positive skin prick test (SPT) for 6/10 patients. 2 patients also showed oral allergy syndrome on eating shrimp (Crangon crangon).. Peroni et al. (2000) [1667] report the case of a 12-year-old girl who was sensitized to house dust mites and started immunotherapy. After several months the patient was taken to the hospital emergency room owing to severe anaphylactic reaction after ingestion of sea snails. She developed a ...

Anaphylaxis is a severe, rapidly progressive allergic reaction that is potentially life threatening. The most common allergens in school aged children are peanuts, eggs, tree nuts (e.g. cashews), cows milk, fish and shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame and certain insect venom (particularly bee stings).. The key to prevention of anaphylaxis in schools is knowledge of the student who has been diagnosed as at risk, awareness of allergens, and prevention of exposure to those allergens. Partnerships between schools and parents/guardians are important in helping the student avoid exposure.. Adrenaline given through an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen® or Anapen®) into the muscle of the outer mid-thigh is the most effective first aid treatment for anaphylaxis.. ...

If ISM is life threatening, why is not considered as dangerous as ASM or MCL?. ISM is not life threatening. Anaphylaxis is life threatening. They are not the same. Many people with ISM never experience anaphylaxis. ISM can make anaphylaxis more dangerous, but ISM is not the same as anaphylaxis. Outside of anaphylaxis, ISM is not life threatening.. Indolent systemic mastocytosis (SM) patients have a varied clinical presentation, ranging from predominantly cutaneous symptoms to recurrent systemic symptoms (eg, flushing, palpitations, dyspepsia, diarrhea, bone pain) that can be severe and potentially life threatening (anaphylaxis.) (Pardanini 2013). Is MCAS more or less dangerous than ISM?. From a clinical standpoint, MMAS and MCAS share many similarities with systemic mastocytosis (SM), a primary disorder of mast cells in which patients experience symptoms ranging from pruritus and flushing to anaphylaxis. (Picard 2013). Again, the real danger here is anaphylaxis rather than these entities ...

It is now widely known that blockade of CysLT1 receptors strongly inhibits antigen-induced bronchial contractions in specimens isolated from non-asthma subjects. However, this blockade is not complete as shown in the present study and in other literature.4, 15, 16 The results of the current study suggest that CysLT2 receptors activation has no significant role in the bronchial contractions recorded in the non-asthma specimens. On the other hand, in one of the two Pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone mg specimens, CysLT2 receptors blockade inhibited anaphylactic bronchoconstriction. This inhibition was potentiated by dual blockade of CysLT1 and CysLT2 receptors. These results suggest that there may be a certain asthma background, in which activation of CysLT2 receptors is involved in anaphylactic bronchocontractile response, and thus may play a significant role in asthma response in certain asthma population. It is not clear why the involvement of CysLT2 receptor activation in anaphylactic response ...

As you underscore, the 2006 Consensus criteria/definition of Anaphylaxis have been validated. The authors/experts called for their universal embrace, and the WAO, NIH, FDA, many other experts/authorities have followed suit. Some mastocytosis researchers have unsoundly deviated from Consensus recommendations in dictating discredited proposed criteria to exclude MCAD/S diagnosis - exclusions none advocate in readily diagnosing mediator afflictions w/ mastocytosis patients. But these are rogue positions at odds with Consenses of Anaphylaxis/ER experts and unrefuted scientific data on which these are soundly based. Why should we not embrace the validated Anaphylaxis Consensus and reject the rogue dictates from some powers that be in Masto-world seeking to impose their scientifically indefensible double standards to exclude comprehensively diagnosing the Systemic Mast Cell Disorders plaguing most of us?. ...

Insect stings and bites are an expected summertime nuisance. Stinging insects include honey bees, wasps, hornets and yellow jackets. Biting insects include mosquitoes, fleas, flies, chiggers, ticks and spiders.. Insect stings usually result in a local skin reaction as a result of venom injected by the stinger. A reddened, painful area with an itchy sensation may develop that lasts about four to five days. Multiple stings can result in a more generalized reaction that includes vomiting, diarrhea, generalized swelling and collapse. Infection can develop from scratching. The most dangerous reaction to a sting is a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Symptoms include hives, flushing, itching, face and neck swelling, nausea, fever, and shortness of breath. Stings in the mouth and throat are of special concern because local swelling may block the breathing passages. Anyone suspecting anaphylaxis or having breathing difficulty after an insect sting should call 911 or be taken to the nearest ...

A 34-year-old man presented with significant intra-abdominal and orthopaedic injuries following a high-speed motorbike crash. The man had a history of an anaphylactic reaction to iodine. As a result, the gold standard CT of the abdomen with contrast was unable to be performed to ascertain the exact nature of the intra-abdominal injuries. After stabilisation, an MRI of the abdomen was performed which localised the injuries. The previous contrast anaphylaxis delayed full assessment of the patient and subsequent management. This case discusses the current literature and the management guidelines in a patient with previous anaphylaxis to contrast. ...

Editor,. Insect venoms commonly cause immunoglobulin E-mediated anaphylactic reactions. Increased vascular permeability may lead to urticaria, dyspnoea and hypotension. In severe cases, anaphylaxis can be life threatening due to airway and cardiovascular compromise. Gastrointestinal symptoms are rarely reported and seldom detected, although mucosal damage in anaphylactic reactions is well recognised.1. Prior to submission of this case report, the patient consented for the publication. The husband of a 57-year-old female patient in respiratory distress following a hornet sting in the right eyelid called the local emergency medical service for help. He had performed vigorous mouth-to-mouth ventilation to his still conscious wife before the arrival of emergency medical service; he subsequently stated that it had been difficult to get air into his wifes lungs. The emergency physician diagnosed anaphylaxis with obstructed upper airways. The patient immediately received intravenous corticosteroid and ...

Co-inhibitory molecules such as PD1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are being increasingly used as targets of therapeutic intervention against cancer. The use of monoclonal antibodies targeting these immune checkpoints has been shown to promote anti-tumor immune responses clinically. While these promising results have led to a critical paradigm shift in treatments for cancer, these approaches are also plagued with limitations owing to cancer immune evasion mechanisms and adverse toxicities associated with continuous treatment. It has been difficult to reproduce and develop interventions to these findings preclinically for many reasons including species/age-related differences in expression of these markers, poor tumor modeling, and reagent xenogenicity. In this study, we investigated adverse effects in mice receiving repeated anti-PD1 (clone J43) or PD-L1 (clone 10F.9G2) monoclonal antibody (mAb) administration in the 4T1 mouse model of mammary carcinoma. Mice bearing day 14 syngeneic mammary carcinomas were ...

Other abnormalities that can be noted secondary to anaphylaxis are an increase in serum alanine transaminase (ALT), hemoabdomen, vomiting, diarrhea as well as cutaneous signs. Although cutaneous signs are absent in nearly 95% of cases. The elevation in ALT typically lags several hours, therefore it cannot be relied upon in the immediate diagnosis of anaphylaxis. The mean value for ALT is 400 IU/L in anaphylactic canines. The hepatic venous congestion along with factors that contribute to acquired coagulopathy leads to a hemoabdomen. Unfortunately, gallbladder wall edema is not pathognomonic for canine anaphylaxis. In an acutely collapsed or hypotensive canine with gallbladder wall edema, you must rule out other differentials such as pericardial effusion, right-sided heart failure or dilated cardiomyopathy. The caudal vena cava can help determine the cause of the gallbladder wall edema because it is an indirect marker of volume status and central venous pressure. In anaphylaxis the caudal vena ...

Mast cells play a key role in allergic reactions due to their ability to synthesize and release proinflammatory mediators and cytokines (1-3). Upon exposure to allergens, specific IgE bound to FcεRI on mast cells becomes cross-linked and intracellular signals are transduced that lead to cellular activation. These intracellular signals are tightly regulated, as spurious signals could result in unwanted, and possibly deleterious, responses. Although recent work has identified many of the proteins that positively regulate FcεRI signaling, little is known about the negative regulators of these signaling cascades. In this study, we have identified a physiological role for PIPKIα as a negative regulator of FcεRI-mediated mast cell functions. BMMCs from PIPKIα-deficient mice exhibit enhanced degranulation and cytokine gene expression. As a result, loss of PIPKIα culminates in aggravated systemic and local passive anaphylaxis in vivo.. PIPKIs are lipid kinases that are critical for intracellular ...

A severe allergic reaction may follow oral or parenteral administration of a drug. Anaphylactic reactions in dentistry may follow the administration of a drug or contact with substances such as latex in surgical gloves. In general, the more rapid the onset of the reaction the more profound it tends to be. Symptoms may develop within minutes and rapid treatment is essential.. Anaphylactic reactions may also be associated with additives and excipients in foods and medicines. Refined arachis (peanut) oil, which may be present in some medicinal products, is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction-nevertheless it is wise to check the full formula of preparations which may contain allergens (including those for topical application, particularly if they are intended for use in the mouth or for application to the nasal mucosa).. ...

Insect stings can generate a range of immune and clinical reactions. Most reactions are local and self-limiting. Allergic reactions to insect stings can occur at all ages, with or without previous stings. Individuals with a history of anaphylaxis carry a significant risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis with future stings. Health-care providers are often unaware of the tremendous clinical benefits of venom immunotherapy for these select patients. Scientific knowledge about the natural history, risk factors, and optimal therapy for insect sting allergies has improved considerably in recent years. ...

Based on recent reports, Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) estimates that 15 million Americans have food allergies and that severe allergic reactions account for more than 200,000 emergency room visits each year. To go along with this, more than 17 million Europeans have a food allergy, and hospital admissions for severe reactions in children have risen seven-fold over the past decade in Europe alone.. While researchers are trying to discover why food allergies are on the rise and potential ways a food allergy could be cured, there are still no clear answers. Strict avoidance and early recognition of foods that cause allergic reactions are the most important factors health professionals recommend today, as well as knowing what to do when a server reaction takes place.. In the most severe reactions, anaphylaxis occurs, which threatens the breathing and blood circulation of the individual experiencing the allergic reaction. Anaphylaxis can set in within just minutes after an allergic ...

Breathing emergencies make up a small portion of emergency, childcare and standard first aid courses (register for a standard first aid course with Vancouver First Aid). However, with respiratory emergencies being the primary concern with children and infants I thought I would spend some time explaining the simplicity in treating respiratory emergencies. Respiratory emergencies include anaphylaxis, aspiration, asthma and hyperventilation.. Anaphylaxis is a very treatable condition but that can also be somewhat confusing to recognize. Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction. Severe allergens include consumption of dairy, fish and nuts and environmental situations such as bee stings or other bites. The signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis can be tricky to determine because they are different for each person and can be different for each episode. Typically symptoms include redness and itchiness starting on the victims back and swelling of the lips and mouth. Anaphylaxis is included in breathing ...

Terlipressin is a synthetic derivative of vasopressin. It is a prodrug that is converted to lysine vasopressin in the circulation after the N-triglycyl residue is cleaved by endothelial peptidases.21 This results in a rapid and sustained release of the structural analog lysine vasopressin. The reason for which terlipressin was investigated in the current study is that despite differences with AVP for its hemodynamic effects, terlipressin has been used as an alternative to exogenous AVP, especially in France, where AVP is not commercially available.12,22-25 Unexpectedly, terlipressin, which has been reported to be effective in catecholamine-resistant septic shock in adults12,24,26,27 and in children,28 did not increase MAP values during anaphylactic shock, regardless of the dose injected. The lack of increase of MAP in terlipressin-treated animals explains the shorter duration of the experiments as compared with the two other groups. The explanations for this lack of MAP effect are not clear. In ...

The answer is b: Latex anaphylaxis occurs in patients with spina bifida or with congenital urologic defects who have undergone repetitive surgeries. Other groups at risk include employees of rubber manufacturers and health care workers. The diagnosis is confirmed by prick skin testing for IgE to latex or by radioallergosorbent test (RAST) assay. Patients with latex-induced anaphylaxis must avoid latex during surgical procedures and live in a latex-free environment. ...

Epinephrine is a hormone that increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, and opens air passages. Its more commonly known as adrenaline. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, epinephrine is the primary treatment for an emergency allergic reaction like anaphylaxis. Anyone with a known insect sting allergy should carry an autoinjection epinephrine kit whenever going anywhere in nature. An epinephrine autoinjector is a combined needle and syringe that makes it easy to deliver a single dose of the medication. Three common brands of auto-injection epinephrine are Anapen, EpiPen, and Twinject.. Its important to remember that epinephrine is a rescue medication only. Its effects are relatively short lived, and, in most cases, further therapy is necessary to prevent recurrence of the life-threatening condition. According to Mayo Clinic, anyone who suffers an anaphylactic reaction to an insect sting should be taken to see a medical professional immediately, whether they ...

VIMIZIM® (elosulfase alfa) is indicated for patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome).. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. Life-threatening anaphylactic reactions have occurred in some patients during VIMIZIM infusions.

Closely observe patients during and after VIMIZIM administration and be prepared to manage anaphylaxis. Inform patients of the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and have them seek immediate medical care should symptoms occur. Patients with acute respiratory illness may be at risk of serious acute exacerbation of their respiratory compromise due to hypersensitivity reactions and require additional monitoring.. Due to the potential for anaphylaxis, ...

Anaphylaxis, a type I IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction, is estimated to occur in 1.5-34% of patients sustaining an insect sting[3]. Those at increased risk for severe systemic reactions include those with increased age, prior venom sensitization, underlying cardiovascular disease, and patients with mastocytosis. Symptoms of anaphylaxis may occur as early as 10 minutes or as late as 72 hours after the sting. Early signs and symptoms include generalized urticaria, angioedema, and flushing, and may progress to bronchoconstriction, laryngeal edema manifesting as wheezing, hypotension, cardiovascular collapse, and, potentially, death. Elevated concentrations of serum histamine, tryptase, and mast cells support the diagnosis of anaphylaxis. Immediate intramuscular epinephrine is the initial acute treatment and patients should be discharged with a prescription for an epinephrine auto-injector and clear instructions for use as well as an allergy identification bracelet. Additionally, all patients ...

Coagulopathy: In clinical trials, recurrent coagulopathy (the return of a coagulation abnormality after it has been successfully treated with antivenin), characterized by decreased fibrinogen, decreased platelets, and elevated prothrombin time, occurred in approximately half of the patients studied; one patient required re-hospitalization and additional antivenin administration. Recurrent coagulopathy may persist for 1 to 2 weeks or more. Patients who experience coagulopathy due to snakebite should be monitored for recurrent coagulopathy for up to 1 week or longer. During this period, the physician should carefully assess the need for re-treatment with CroFab® and use of any type of anticoagulant or anti-platelet drug.. Hypersensitivity Reactions: Severe hypersensitivity reactions may occur with CroFab®. In case of acute hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions, discontinue infusion and institute appropriate emergency treatment. Patients allergic to papain, ...

Intravesical Adriamycin treatment was given to 22 patients with carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder. The treatment schedule consisted of monthly Adriamycin instillations in a dose related to bladder capacity. Endoscopic inspection with multiple bladder biopsies and cytoanalysis of urine was performed after every third instillation. In two patients there was lasting disappearance of the carcinoma in situ. Another 10 patients possibly had a beneficial effect of the treatment. The remaining 10 patients showed persistent malignancy and in 6 of these, progression of carcinoma in situ during Adriamycin treatment necessitated cystectomy or radiotherapy. The histologic and cytologic findings showed distinct variability in most patients, with atypia or even absence of malignant cells often followed by recurrence. Adriamycin was discontinued in four cases because of severe cystitis, and in one case because of an anaphylactoid reaction following instillation of the drug.
