Histological Characteristics of Chronic Allergic Rhinitis Versus Non-allergy: Is There a Difference in the Remodeling? Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2023; 75:3364-3372. [PMID: 37974791 PMCID: PMC10645690 DOI: 10.1007/s12070-023-03922-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Demonstrate the histological remodeling changes in the turbinates, identify the frequency of the two forms of rhinitis in the samples studied and determine the remodeling differences found in the two variants. Patients attended an otolaryngology service at the Social Security Hospital of city Sangolqui-Ecuador from February 2016 to June 2017. The allergic variant was determined when eosinophils were found by higher magnification field and non-allergic when they were not found in the submucosal segment. Epithelial, inflammatory, and stromal markers were analyzed. One hundred twenty histopathological samples were analyzed, 75% presented allergic rhinitis, the age averaged 36.2 years. When we compared between the allergic and non-allergic variants: epithelial and stromal markers we had significant differences, as well as between each of its components; except fibrosis. In relation to the inflammatory pattern, there were significant differences between the number of mast cells and stromal markers with eosinophils > 10 by field. The allergic type corresponded to 75% of patients with persistent severe rhinitis who underwent turbinectomy. Regarding remodeling, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the allergic variant. Eosinophilia greater than 10 was directly related to mastocytosis and subepithelial edema.

Abstract
Introduction Several evidences support the concept of united airway and its pathophysiological, clinical, and therapeutic implications. The existence of rhinitis can generate greater difficulty in asthma control and higher direct and indirect health care costs, which is not sufficiently recognized by the majority of physicians who often treat them as separate entities. Objective To examine witness evidence of the relationship between rhinitis and asthma that contributes to the integrated approach to both pathologies. Methods A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed (Medline), EBSCO, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases using MeSH and DeCS terms related to the clinical and therapeutic relationship between rhinitis and asthma. Results Finally, 46 references describing the impact of rhinitis on the quality of life of patients with asthma and its therapeutic correlate were included. Conclusions The treatment of both diseases based on this integrated model is imperative. Both, the endo-phenotypic recognition and the consequent therapeutic approach allow to the concomitant control of asthma and rhinitis and a decrease in their morbidity. Complementary therapeutic measures based on the concept "one airway, one disease" support the good clinical practices necessary to achieve the best therapeutic result.

Abstract
A systematic review and narrative synthesis of publications was undertaken to analyze the role of component-resolved diagnosis technology in identifying polysensitization for the provision of allergen-specific immunotherapy to patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. A search of publications was carried out in electronic databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The search helped to identify 568 publications, 12 of which were included in this review. Overall, 3302 patients were enrolled. The major finding was that component-resolved diagnostics change the choice of relevant allergens for allergen-specific immunotherapy in at least 50% of cases. Sensitization to allergen components differs with age, type of disease, and overall disease duration. Patients who had both bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis were sensitized to a larger number of allergens than patients who had bronchial asthma alone.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin(BoNT), a superfamily of neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, disturbs the signal transmission at the neuromuscular and neuroglandular junctions by inhibiting the neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic nerve terminal. BoNT has been widely used in neuromuscular, hypersecretory, and autonomic nerve system disorders. In recent years, botulinum toxin type A(BoNT-A) has been used to treat chronic rhinitis. Studies have shown that intranasal administration of BoNT-A is safe and effective, and can reduce nasal symptoms in rhinitis patients with long-lasting effects. This article reviews the research progress of BoNT-A in the treatment of chronic rhinitis.

Clinical Evidence of Type 2 Inflammation in Non-allergic Rhinitis with Eosinophilia Syndrome: a Systematic Review. Curr Allergy Asthma Rep 2022; 22:29-42. [PMID: 35141844 DOI: 10.1007/s11882-022-01027-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) includes different subtypes, among which NAR with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) is the most important because of severity of symptoms and the high risk of comorbidities. Its pathophysiology is still object of debate, but a crucial role of chronic eosinophilic inflammation has been recognized. The aim of this review is to critically analyze the current evidence regarding the hypothesis that NARES may be considered a type 2 inflammatory disorder. RECENT FINDINGS The definition and diagnostic criteria for NARES are not universally shared and adopted, thus generating difficulties in reproducing the results. At present, there is extreme heterogeneity in sampling methods and disagreement in the cut-off of local eosinophilic count to determine a diagnosis of NARES. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) standard was applied to identify English-language experimental and clinical articles regarding NARES. The search was performed in April 2021. Twenty-six articles were included. Our data suggest a particular heterogeneity regarding sampling and specific cut-offs adopted for diagnosis of NARES and consensus should be reached. We suggest that eosinophil count should be reported as an absolute value for at least 10 observed rich fields in order to increase the level of standardization. Consensus among authors on this topic should be reached with particular attention to the cut-off for diagnosis. In the future, this limitation may be overcome by the identification of repeatable biomarkers to refine diagnosis and prognosis of NARES. Furthermore, our data strongly suggest that NARES have numerous similarities with clinical features of the most common type 2 diseases such as eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP): late onset, association with type 2 comorbidities, selective eosinophilic tissue infiltration, remarkable response to oral and intranasal corticosteroids, and progression in a type 2 CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) is a potential treatment for chronic rhinitis. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of BTX-A in treating patients with chronic rhinitis. METHODS Systematic searches of MEDLINE, Scopus, and EMBASE databases were performed. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the efficacy of BTX-A in allergic rhinitis and/or nonallergic rhinitis patients, compared with either placebo or active treatment, were included. The outcomes were total nasal symptom (TNSS), disease-specific quality of life (QOL), and adverse events. RESULTS Nine RCTs (340 patients) met the eligibility criteria. Compared with placebo, the ≤ 12-week effects favored BTX-A injection on TNSS (standardized mean difference [SMD] -2.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] -3.27 to -1.17, p < 0.01, four RCTs). Beneficial effects > 12 weeks over placebo (MD -9.69, 95% CI -11.29 to -8.09, p < 0.01, one RCT) were demonstrated up to 24 weeks. However, the benefits were not shown on nasal congestion and individual nasal symptoms. Compared with active comparators (triamcinolone injection, ipratropium bromide, and cetirizine), there was no difference in the < 12-week effect between groups on TNSS. There was no difference between BTX-A and cetirizine on QOL (one RCT). The > 12-week effects on TNSS and individual nasal symptoms favored BTX-A over triamcinolone injection (one RCT). The risk ratio of adverse events favored BTX-A over cetirizine (one RCT). CONCLUSIONS BTX-A improved TNSS and QOL in patients with chronic rhinitis. These effects were demonstrated up to 24 weeks post treatment. BTX-A was safe, well tolerated, and may be considered in patients who are refractory to current standard-of-care therapies.

THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY-IN PRACTICE 2021; 9:2642-2644. [PMID: 33741508 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2021.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2020] [Revised: 01/23/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of atopic disorders associated with specific aerobiological triggers require basic botanical training. However, the identification of specific pollen can often be confounded by broad naming conventions that range from categorized colloquial to scientific names based on either higher taxonomic levels or, in some cases, binomial nomenclature. Physicians specializing in allergy often lack a comprehensive understanding with respect to plant taxonomy and botanical nomenclature that are critical skills required for clinical practice and research programs evaluating pollen and airborne fungal spores. In addition, binomial and current family designation and synonyms, including author citation are often misused, causing a misinterpretation of existing plants species or pollen types. It is critical that the correct botanical name is linked to a validated specimen and scientific naming conventions are used where possible by the clinician and researcher. In relation to pollen identification, we propose that clinicians and researchers should provide the currently accepted binomial nomenclature, offer relevant synonyms, and use the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group names.
