The role of systemic atopy in the pathogenesis of LDO remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between specific allergic sensitization and severe epiphora/suspected LDO using a nationally representative sample.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data from 5420 adults in the national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES) ranging from 2005 to 2006. Severe epiphora, serving as a clinical proxy for suspected LDO, was defined by frequent tearing (ie, epiphora) in the absence of acute infection. Allergic sensitization was assessed via serum specific IgE (sIgE) to 19 aeroallergens and food allergens. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to evaluate associations.ResultsThe weighted prevalence of suspected LDO was 14.2%. Any allergic sensitization (sIgE ≥ 0.35 ku/l) was significantly associated with suspected LDO (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.21-1.82). Specifically, sensitization to aeroallergens conferred a 56% increased risk, whereas food sensitization showed no significant association. A J-shaped nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between total IgE levels and suspected LDO risk. Subgroup analyses revealed stronger associations in adults aged < 60 years.ConclusionSystemic allergic sensitization is an independent risk factor associated with severe epiphora/suspected LDO.

This study aimed to examine the clinical importance and functional mechanism of lncRNA DANCR in AR.MethodsVolunteer participants, including healthy controls and those with AR, were recruited, with clinical information and serum samples being gathered. Expression of DANCR and miR-338-3p was quantified by qRT-PCR. An in vitro model of AR was established using IL-13-stimulated human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs), and modulation of target expression via molecular transfection was regulated. ELISA was used to measure IL-4, IL-5, eotaxin, and GM-CSF levels. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by CCK8 and flow cytometry, respectively. The interaction between DANCR and miR-338-3p was validated using a dual luciferase reporter system.ResultsSerum DANCR expression was significantly elevated in AR patients, showing high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.878) with 82.05% sensitivity and 81.25% specificity. IL-13 stimulation increased DANCR in HNECs. IL-13 induction in HNECs led to an increase in inflammation, a decrease in cell viability, and modulation of apoptotic processes; however, silencing DANCR mitigated these IL-13-mediated effects. In AR and IL-13-induced HNECs, miR-338-3p was decreased, while DANCR functioned as its ceRNA. miR-338-3p silencing reversed the protective effects of DANCR downregulation.ConclusionIn this research, it was observed that elevated DANCR expression in AR was tightly linked to disease progression. Furthermore, it uncovered its mode of action in modulating inflammatory responses and cellular functions via miR-338-3p.</p>","PeriodicalId":7650,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy","volume":" ","pages":"19458924261484683"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148944056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
