Smoking is known to be a significant risk factor for asthma. Currently, it is of scientific interest to study the effect of smoking on allergic rhinitis and sensitization to allergens. Tobacco smoke affects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, contributing to a change in structure and dysfunction, and when exposed to allergens simultaneously, it can increase the activation of the Th2-immune response, increase the production of IgE, which may contribute to the development of allergic diseases. \u0000In recent years, e-cigarette smoking has become especially popular. The aerosol components of electronic cigarettes are characterized by irritant properties and inhalation toxicity. Smoking electronic cigarettes, like smoking traditional cigarettes, can affect the immunity of the respiratory mucosa, including the functions of epithelial cells, macrophages and neutrophils. \u0000The article presents conflicting data on the effect of smoking on sensitization to allergens. Tobacco smoke is a known trigger and exposure to it increases the risk of developing new cases of asthma in patients with allergic rhinitis. The influence of smoking on the development and clinical course of allergic pathology requires further study.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122350886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents a clinical case of a patient with inborn error of immunity, known as common variable immune deficiency with the debut of the disease in adulthood and the presence of numerous infectious, structural, and immune complications. The patient had an adverse drug reaction representive by fixed drug eruption to the vital antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone. We provide detailed information about this type of drug allergy, structural features of cephalosporins and their cross-reactivity. In the diagnostic process, we ran phased drug allergy testing: patch tests and a dose provocative test, wich is considered as a gold standard for this type of diagnostics. According to the test results the diagnosis of fixed drug eruption to ceftriaxone and the absence of cross-reactivity to other cephalosporins in this patient was confirmed. The compiled individual recommendations made it possible to prohibit the use of only one drug (ceftriaxone), which is especially important for a patient with primary immunodeficiency.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126299045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to experts from the World Allergy Organization (WAO), polyvalent sensitization is becoming more common, and allergies are becoming multi-organ.Due to ongoing air pollution and global warming, it is projected that up to half of Europe's population could suffer from allergic diseases by 2025.Allergic diseases not only affect the quality of life of patients and their loved ones, but also negatively affect the socio-economic well-being of society.

In Russia, soy is a relatively new agricultural crop, which recently began to be used in food production. Meanwhile, it is known that some proteins of soybeans have the pronounced allergenic properties. 8 soy proteins (Gly m 1 - Gly m 8) are classified by the World Health Organization as allergens capable of causing clinically significant IgE-mediated sensitization in patients with allergic diseases. Moreover, most of these allergens have been included in the WHO nomenclature over the past 15 years. In addition, there is scientific evidence for the presence of other soybean allergens that can bind to sIgE. It has also been shown that some soy allergens have homology in amino acid sequence and three-dimensional similarity to proteins of other plants and animals. In this regard, questions of IgE - cross-reactivity are becoming relevant. In this way, the purpose of this review is to analyze and summarize scientific data on the chemical structure, properties, allergenic activity of soy and soybean proteins (soybean seeds), their cross-reactions with proteins of animal and plant origin.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130615078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is likely that spontaneous and allergen-induced BAT levels may change after effective subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and this is of clinical importance. \u0000AIMS: determination of basophil activation markers in patients sensitized to weed pollen during SCIT. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: A real clinical study (2 years, 60 patients) with allergic rhinitis who underwent SCIT with weed allergens for 2 seasons. The proportion of basophils expressing CD203c spontaneously and after exposure to a trigger allergen was determined. BAT was performed before treatment, after the first and second courses of pre-season SCIT (0, 3, 15 months of treatment). The effectiveness of SCIT was assessed by the dynamics of the symptom scale (Rhinoconjunctivitis total symptom score) and the drug assessment (Daily medical score). \u0000RESULTS: SCIT with water-salt extracts was effective: median RTSS in patients after two courses decreased from 13.0 [10.0; 15.0] to 4.5 [3.00; 7.25] points (p 0.001), DMS score from 2.0 [2.0; 2.0] vs 1.0 [1.0; 2.0] points (p0.001). \u0000Spontaneous BAT remained unchanged after the first course of ASIT. Mean BAT values before therapy and after the first course of SCIT did not differ (8.15 [6.10; 11.9] vs 9.0 [6.30; 12.0] %). After the second course of treatment, spontaneous BAT decreased (8.15 [6.10; 11.9] vs 6.20 [4.27; 9.00] %, 2 = 15.5, p0.001). \u0000Allergen-induced BAT decreased significantly from the first year of treatment. The overall change in the total group for BAT with ragweed after the first course of SCIT was 11.25 (CI 95 %: 7.10; 15.10) %, p 0.001. The overall difference in the induced ВAT test at the end of therapy reached 8.63 (CI 95: 5.30; 12.05) %, p 0.001. After the first course of therapy with mugwort allergens, the indices of induced BAT decreased by 12.0 (CI 95 %: 6.95; 17.90) %, p 0.001; after the second course, the difference from the initial values was 9.67 (CI 95%: -6.85; 15.90) %, p0.001. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: SCIT with ragweed and mugwort allergens was effective. The change in spontaneous and induced BAT is associated with a positive effect of ASIT.","PeriodicalId":270411,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Allergy","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124161162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
