Abstract
The signs and symptoms of chronic urticaria (CU) are caused by the activation and degranulation of skin mast cells (MCs). Recent studies have added to our understanding of how and why skin MCs are involved and different in CU. Also, novel and relevant mechanisms of MC activation in CU have been identified and characterized. Finally, the use of MC-targeted and MC mediator-specific treatments has helped to better define the role of the skin environment, the contribution of specific MC mediators, and the relevance of MC crosstalk with other cells in the pathogenesis of CU. Here, we review these recent findings and their impact on our understanding of CU, with a focus on chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Also, we highlight open questions, issues of controversy, and unmet needs, and we suggest what studies should be performed moving forward.

Abstract
Scombroid food poisoning (SFP) is a foodborne disease that develops after consumption of fresh fish and, rarely, seafood that has fine organoleptic characteristics but contains a large amount of exogenous histamine. SFP, like other food pseudo-allergic reactions (FPA), is a disorder that is clinically identical to allergic reactions type I, but there are many differences in their pathogenesis. To date, SFP has been widespread throughout the world and is an urgent problem, although exact epidemiological data on incidence varies greatly. The need to distinguish SFP from true IgE-associated allergy to fish and seafood is one of the most difficult examples of the differential diagnosis of allergic conditions. The most important difference is the absence of an IgE response in SFP. The pathogenesis of SFP includes a complex system of interactions between the body and chemical triggers such as exogenous histamine, other biogenic amines, cis-urocanic acid, salicylates, and other histamine liberators. Because of the wide range of molecular pathways involved in this process, it is critical to understand their differences. This may help predict and prevent poor outcomes in patients and contribute to the development of adequate hygienic rules and regulations for seafood product safety. Despite the vast and lengthy history of research on SFP mechanisms, there are still many blank spots in our understanding of this condition. The goals of this review are to differentiate various molecular mechanisms of SFP and describe methods of hygienic regulation of some biogenic amines that influence the concentration of histamine in the human body and play an important role in the mechanism of SFP.

Abstract
Studies were performed to evaluate the effects of either acute or chronic morphine exposure on histamine release in vivo and supporting studies in vitro. In order to effectively assess histamine release in swine, studies were undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of compound 48/80 as an intradermal skin test and determine its ability to release histamine in swine cells. Compound 48/80 skin testing was found to be a useful measure of histamine release in swine as evidenced by dose dependent wheal and flare reaction in vivo and histamine release from swine cells in vitro. Acute effects of morphine were determined on swine administered a single injection of morphine alkaloid. Skin tests using intradermal compound 48/80 and histamine, were performed using compound 48/80 both prior to, and 24 h following initiation of morphine treatment. Morphine tolerant swine were subjected to in vivo skin tests and the resulting wheal and flare responses measured. In select swine skin samples from the test sites were measured for mast cell numbers. Swine dermal mast cells were found to release histamine in a dose dependent manner upon compound 48/80 exposure. Both acute and chronic morphine-treated swine had significantly depressed responses to compound 48/80, however this difference was not due alteration in mast cell number or morphology, and skin responsiveness to histamine remained intact.

Abstract
Urticaria and angioedema are usually the clinical consequence of vasoactive mediators derived from mast cells in the skin or mucosal tissues. Efforts to classify mast cell-mediated causes of urticaria and angioedema have generally been frustrated by their diverse pathogenesis and clinical course. The term acute is typically used to describe fleeting lesions whose recurrence does not extend beyond 6 weeks. Chronic is the term used to describe lesions that persist for more than a few hours but usually less than a day, and recurrences extend for more than 6 weeks. These definitions do not take histology into account. Skin biopsies of fleeting lesions demonstrate a paucity of inflammatory cells, whereas more persistent lesions display a spectrum of perivascular cuffing by predominantly T cells and monocytes. The presence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in persistent lesions indicates an underlying immune complex disease. Many of the physical urticarias have fleeting lesions that can be induced with the appropriate stimulus for years. This review article has emphasized the clinical course and histology of urticaria and angioedema lesions in an effort to provide a more complete understanding of the pathogenesis and appropriate treatment. Clearly, avoidance of an identifiable inciting stimulus is optimum management, although most patients have no etiology defined or the cause is not realistically avoidable. At present, treatment options for these patients rely on antihistamines to control the immediate consequence of mast cell degranulation. Corticosteroids are reserved for the treatment of patients whose urticaria or angioedema lesions persist, reflecting the increasing involvement of mononuclear cells in the disease process. For leukocytoclastic vasculitis, corticosteroids are indicated, and cytotoxic drugs may be required for adequate treatment. Future treatments of urticaria and angioedema will evolve based on elucidation of the relevant cells and soluble mediators and will include counterregulatory or antagonistic peptides and drugs. C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency is a relatively uncommon cause of angioedema but is important to understand because of its ability to clinically mimic mast cell-mediated angioedemas and its unique pathogenesis and treatment. HAE can be divided into two serologic subtypes that simply reflect the location of the defect in one of the codominantly expressed C1-INH genes on chromosome 11. AAE can be divided into two serologic subtypes. AAE type I is due to massive consumption of C1-INH, presumably by tumor-related immune complexes. AAE type II is due to an anti-C1-INH autoantibody.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Adverse reactions, such as skin flush and pruritus, have been observed among hemodialyzed (HD) patients. A potential relationship between hemodialysis and allergic phenomena prompted us to investigate some allergologic parameters. Total IgE, specific IgE antiethylene oxide and anti-isocyanate toluene diisocyanate, and in vitro spontaneous histamine release (SHR) were measured in 105 long-term stable HD patients. Thirty-two of the patients had occasionally developed skin flush reactions and/or pruritus during dialysis sessions. Blood samples were taken at the start of dialysis, sera were kept frozen until assay, and in vitro SHR was performed on washed leukocytes at 37 degrees C for 40 minutes. A high (range, 20% to 80%) and reproducible in vitro SHR was observed among 24% of patients. No correlation was found between SHR and the type of dialysis membrane used (copolymer of acrylonitrile-methallyl-sodium sulfonate, cuprophan, and polysulfone). High SHR (i.e., greater than 20%) was observed mainly among patients with detectable antiethylene oxide IgE antibodies (p less than 0.001). High levels of IgE (greater than 300 ng/ml), specific IgE antibodies, and a high in vitro SHR were all observed concomitantly in 26% of the patients with skin flush reactions and/or pruritus, whereas all three of these parameters together were present in only 3% of the symptom-free patients. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a high in vitro SHR has been described among HD patients, and putative correlations with in vivo phenomena are discussed.
