Summary: This study investigated the differences in nasal flora composition between patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (nAR) and their role in pathogenesis. The results showed that AR patients had a significantly higher abundance of Vibrio vulnificus and Acinetobacter baumanni in the nasal cavity compared to nAR patients, while the abundance of Lactobacillus murinus, Lactobacillus iners, Proteobacteria, Pseudomonadales, and Escherichia coli was lower. The study also identified specific bacterial models associated with AR and nAR, providing new insights for their treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the association between SPT wheal sizes of common house dust mite allergens and demographic, clinical, and environmental characteristics, as well as nasal and non-nasal symptom severity scores in AR patients. The results showed that SPT wheal sizes were not associated with clinical, demographic, and environmental characteristics, but significant correlations were observed between SPT wheal sizes of D. farinae sensitization and severity scores of nasal and non-nasal symptoms. Increased SPT wheal sizes for D. farinae sensitization may predict more severe nasal and, to a lesser extent, non-nasal manifestations in AR patients.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of DEP exposure on allergic rhinitis using a mouse model sensitized to house dust mite. The results showed that mice co-exposed to HDM and DEP exhibited increased allergic symptom scores compared to mice exposed to HDM alone. This suggests that DEP may exacerbate allergic rhinitis by increasing levels of interleukin-17A in the nasal mucosa.

Summary: In this study, nasal secretions of allergic rhinitis patients were analyzed, and 15 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified. These DEPs were significantly correlated with the total nasal symptom scores of patients with allergic rhinitis.

Summary: Proper nasal breathing is essential for athletes, and nasal symptoms can significantly impact their comfort and quality of life. These symptoms can arise from either structural abnormalities or mucosal issues, requiring different treatment approaches. Athletes are more prone to nasal symptoms compared to the general population, with certain sports environments potentially exacerbating these issues.

Summary: The study demonstrates that nasal DNA methylation is the most accurate predictor for diagnosing childhood allergic diseases, identifying multimorbidity and IgE sensitization, with findings replicated in children of different ages and ethnicities.

Summary: In this study, high Ras activation was detected in eosinophils isolated from nasal mucosal tissues of allergic rhinitis patients, associated with apoptosis resistance. The expression of Twist protein in allergic rhinitis eosinophils was positively correlated with Ras activation. Sensitization to IgG induced Twist expression and conferred eosinophils apoptosis resistance through Ras activation.

Summary: In this study, the efficacy of SJMHE1, a small molecular peptide derived from Schistosoma japonicum, in the treatment of ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) in mice was investigated. SJMHE1 treatment improved clinical symptoms, suppressed inflammation, and modulated the production of cytokines in various tissues. The results suggest that SJMHE1 may alleviate AR by upregulating regulatory B cells.

Summary: This study revealed that exposure to PM2.5 can exacerbate allergic rhinitis symptoms, increase serum IgE levels, disrupt nasal mucosa ultrastructure, and lead to NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated cell pyroptosis in the process of allergic rhinitis aggravation.

Summary: This study found an association between laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms and nasal symptom severity in non-allergic rhinitis patients. Nasal symptoms should be the primary focus of treatment, especially for those with predominant nasal blockage and laryngopharyngeal reflux symptoms.
