Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in children. Phenotyping pediatric OSA has a crucial role in personalized diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes for this population. This review sets forth a clinical approach that allows for phenotyping pediatric OSA. RECENT FINDINGS The emerging concept of phenotyping pediatric OSA is based on identifying a primary cause, which leads to a more precise understanding of the pathogenesis in any individual patient. Phenotyping enables treatment focusing on the primary cause, but does not exclude the need for supplemental management strategies based on other recognizable traits. The identification of pediatric OSA phenotypes (POP) relies on observable characteristics with significant prevalence. This review will concentrate on the most important phenotypes seen in clinical practice: pediatric OSA with craniofacial abnormalities (POPCA); OSA with upper airway disease (POPUAD); OSA with obesity (POPO), and OSA associated with neuromuscular disease (POPNED). SUMMARY Phenotyping pediatric OSA is a form of personalized medicine. By identifying clinical subtypes, individualized treatment plans can be devised in order to choose therapies that are associated with predictable responses. Moreover, it is rare that a therapeutic modality is devoid of possible complications; knowledge of the phenotype being treated can enable early intervention should those occur. Finally, all of the aforementioned phenotypes require personalized support incorporating individualized care plans so as to optimize the quality of life and overall sleep health of children with OSA.

Abstract
Background Sleep-disordered breathing is more prevalent in individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR) than in those without AR. In addition to increased risk for sleep-disordered breathing, AR is associated with greater severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) symptoms. The aim of this research study was to evaluate the association of multiple single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variations in AR with sleep- and breathing-related parameters in men with OSA. Methods Men who had complained of snoring were consecutively enrolled in the Shanghai Sleep Health Study of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from 2007 to 2018. After rigorous screening, 5322 men were included in the analysis. Anthropometric, fasting biochemical, and polysomnographic parameters, along with 27 AR-associated SNPs were analyzed. The associations between AR-related genetic polymorphisms and OSA were determined via linear, binary, and multinomial logistic regression analyses. Results Rs12509403 had significantly positive associations with most sleep-breathing parameters. While the risk for OSA was increased by rs12509403, it was decreased by rs7717955 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.341, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.039-1.732, P = 0.024; OR = 0.829, 95% CI = 0.715-0.961, P = 0.013, respectively]. A graded increase in the risk of being in the highest quartile (Q4) vs the reference category (Q1) for sleep breathing indicators, especially REM-AHI and NREM-AHI, was identified by rs12509403 (OR = 1.496, 95% CI = 1.175-1.904, P = 0.001; OR = 1.471, 95% CI = 1.151-1.879, P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion The association of multiple AR SNPs with OSA-related hypoxia and sleep indices provides a genetic explanation for the higher AR susceptibility of OSA patients. Understanding the AR-related genetic underpinnings of OSA may lead to more personalized treatment approaches.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine shifts in microbial populations regarding richness and diversity from the daily use of a popular over-the-counter nasal spray. In addition, the finding of nasal commensal bacterial species that overlap with the oral microbiome may prove to be potential probiotics for the "gateway microbiomes". Nasal swab samples were obtained before and after using the most popular over-the-counter (OTC) nasal spray in 10 participants aged 18-48. All participants were healthy volunteers with no significant medical histories. The participants were randomly assigned a number by randomizing software and consisted of five men and five women. The sampling consisted of placing a nasal swab atraumatically into the nasal cavity. The samples were preserved and sent to Northwestern University Sequencing Center for whole-genome deep sequencing. After 21 days of OTC nasal spray use twice daily, the participants returned for further nasal microbiome sampling. The microbial analysis included all bacteria, archaea, viruses, molds, and yeasts via deep sequencing for species analysis. The Northwestern University Sequencing Center utilized artificial intelligence analysis to determine shifts in species and strains following nasal spray use that resulted in changes in diversity and richness.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder affecting children. This study aims to characterize factors associated with the development and progression of severe forms of paediatric OSA. METHODS This study included children admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, a tertiary children's hospital in southwest China between January 2020 and December 2020 with a discharge diagnosis of OSA. Each patient underwent polysomnography examination, following assessments of apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) by standardized techniques. Demographic and clinical information was collected from the hospital's electronic medical records. Associations between OSA severity and various factors were first examined in a univariate logistic model, with subsequent multivariate analysis to further identify independent risk factors. RESULTS A total of 263 children were identified during the study period. Among patients presenting with OSA, 51.3% had mild and 48.7% had moderate to severe symptoms according to standardized guidelines. The incidence of mild and moderate to severe hypoxemia in our population was 39.2% and 60.8%, respectively. Allergic rhinitis (AR; adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.75, 95% CI 1.03-2.96) and male gender (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.03-3.06) were significantly associated with moderate-to-severe OSA (all P-values < 0.05) after adjustment for covariates. AR was also the only significant predictor of hypoxemia (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that male gender and presence of AR may be associated with an increased likelihood of moderate-to-severe OSA in children. These findings underscore the importance of timely intervention and individualized management for at-risk individuals.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition that impacts individuals of all age groups. Despite reports indicating the potential of berberine in alleviating allergic rhinitis symptoms, the specific molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets of berberine remain unclear. This research aims to explore the pharmacological mechanism of berberine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis through bioinformatic analyses and experimental validation. The research utilized public databases to identify potential targets of berberine. Furthermore, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to allergic rhinitis were pinpointed from the GSE52804 dataset. Through bioinformatics techniques, the primary targets were discovered and key KEGG and GO-BP pathways were established. To confirm the therapeutic mechanisms of berberine on allergic rhinitis, an OVA-induced allergic rhinitis model was developed using guinea pigs. We identified 32 key genes responsible for the effectiveness of berberine in treating allergic rhinitis. In addition, five central genes (Alb, Il6, Tlr4, Ptas2, and Il1b) were pinpointed. Further examination using KEGG and GO-BP pathways revealed that the main targets were primarily involved in pathways such as NF-kappa B, IL-17, TNF, and inflammatory response. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that berberine exhibited strong affinity towards these five key targets. Furthermore, the expression levels of IL-6, TLR4, PTGS2, and IL-1β were significantly upregulated in the model group but downregulated following berberine treatment. This research has revealed the mechanism through which berberine combats allergic rhinitis and has identified its potential to regulate pathways linked to inflammation. These discoveries provide valuable insights for the development of novel medications for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Asthma comorbidities are a frequent cause of adverse outcomes, such as poor asthma control, frequent asthma attacks, reduced quality of life, and higher healthcare costs. Comorbidities are well-known treatable traits whose proper management can help achieve optimal asthma control. Although multimorbidity is frequent among asthmatics, comorbidities are still a potential cause of misdiagnosis and under or over treatments, and little is known about their impact on severe pediatric asthma. AREAS COVERED We provided a comprehensive, 5-year updated review focusing on the main respiratory comorbidities in severe asthma, particularly in epidemiology, pathogenesis, and current and future therapies. EXPERT OPINION Respiratory comorbidities have unique characteristics in childhood. Their management must be multidisciplinary, age-specific, and integrated. Further longitudinal studies are needed to understand better the mutual interrelation and synergistic effect between asthma and its respiratory comorbidities, the identification of common, treatable risk factors leading to potential asthma prevention, the effectiveness of actual and future target-therapies, and the correlation between long-lasting respiratory comorbidities and poor lung function trajectories.

Abstract
Background: The molecular mechanisms underlying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its comorbidities may involve mitochondrial dysfunction. However, very little is known about the relationships between mitochondrial dysfunction-related genes and OSA. Methods: Mitochondrial dysfunction-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between OSA and control adipose tissue samples were identified using data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and information on mitochondrial dysfunction-related genes from the GeneCards database. A mitochondrial dysfunction-related signature of diagnostic model was established using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression and then verified. Additionally, consensus clustering algorithms were used to conduct an unsupervised cluster analysis. A protein-protein interaction network of the DEGs between the mitochondrial dysfunction-related clusters was constructed using STRING database and the hub genes were identified. Functional analyses, including Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and gene set variation analysis (GSVA), were conducted to explore the mechanisms involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in OSA. Immune cell infiltration analyses were conducted using CIBERSORT and single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA). Results: we established mitochondrial dysfunction related four-gene signature of diagnostic model consisted of NPR3, PDIA3, SLPI, ERAP2, and which could easily distinguish between OSA patients and controls. In addition, based on mitochondrial dysfunction-related gene expression, we identified two clusters among all the samples and three clusters among the OSA samples. A total of 10 hub genes were selected from the PPI network of DEGs between the two mitochondrial dysfunction-related clusters. There were correlations between the 10 hub genes and the 4 diagnostic genes. Enrichment analyses suggested that autophagy, inflammation pathways, and immune pathways are crucial in mitochondrial dysfunction in OSA. Plasma cells and M0 and M1 macrophages were significantly different between the OSA and control samples, while several immune cell types, especially T cells (γ/δ T cells, natural killer T cells, regulatory T cells, and type 17 T helper cells), were significantly different among mitochondrial dysfunction-related clusters of OSA samples. Conclusion: A novel mitochondrial dysfunction-related four-gen signature of diagnostic model was built. The genes are potential biomarkers for OSA and may play important roles in the development of OSA complications.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of most prevalent disease and it is urgent need to develop new drug. Tuomin-Zhiti-Decoction (TZD) is a traditional medicinal compound consisting of eleven different herbs and has a significant effect on AR, yet its underlying mechanism is still unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to confirm the anti-AR effects and the underlying mechanism of TZD. Integrative analysis of network pharmacology and proteomics to explore the common mechanism of TZD treating AR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice were subjected to serial intranasal challenge with ovalbumin (OVA), we examinaed the nasal symptoms, histopathology and Th1/Th2-related cytokines after TZD treatments. Active compounds, potential targets and underlying mechanisms of TZD against AR were systematically clarified by integrating network pharmacology and proteomics analysis. Then we validated the binding affinity between the key potential targets and matching active compounds using molecular docking evaluation. RESULTS TZD controlled allergy by reduction of OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and histamine release. In nasal tissue, TZD decreased nasal rubbing, sneezing and reduced AR-induced damage to nasal mucosa, accordingly, the nasal symptoms were also clearly ameliorated. Moreover, TZD modulated the balance of Th1/Th2/Th17. The proteomics analysis recognized 41 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Integrative analysis of network pharmacology and proteomics, we found IL-6 and CD40 could be potential protein targets of TZD against AR, quercetin and wogonin may play more effective roles in AR. Active core compounds of TZD could bind closely to the key targets by molecular docking. CONCLUSION TZD may have therapeutic potential for treating AR, integrating analysis of network pharmacology and proteomics uncovered the underlying mechanism and targets of TZD, which provides a scientific method for the sensible development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review, critically analyze and synthesize knowledge from the international literature regarding the association between allergic rhinitis (AR) and sleep disorders, the impact of AR treatment on children's sleep, and lay the foundation for future research on this topic. SOURCE OF DATA A literature search using PubMed database including original and review articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses using keywords related to AR, sleep disorders and sleep-disordered breathing. SYNTHESIS OF DATA Sleep is fundamental to health, and its assessment and control of conditions that trigger or aggravate disturbances are of the uttermost importance. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is common in children and may interfere with both their quality of life and quality of sleep. It has emerged as one of the most important risk factors for habitual snoring in children and appeared to increase the risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), with AR severity exhibiting a significant and independent association with pediatric OSA severity. However, in some studies, those associations between AR and OSA in children are not very consistent. CONCLUSIONS A substantial level of controversy exists regarding the interactions between AR and OSA in children. Notwithstanding, identifying and treating AR in clinical settings is probably an important step toward improving symptoms and preventing deterioration of sleep quality in children and may improve the severity of underlying OSA. Considering the high prevalence, morbidity, economic and social implications of both AR and sleep problems, it is crucial that healthcare providers improve their understanding of the relationships between those conditions among children.

Abstract
Although the link between sleep and hematological parameters is well-described, it is unclear how this integration affects the swimmer’s performance. The parameters derived from the non-invasive critical velocity protocol have been extensively used to evaluate these athletes, especially the aerobic capacity (critical velocity—CV) and the anaerobic work capacity (AWC). Thus, this study applied the complex network model to verify the influence of sleep and hematological variables on the CV and AWC of young swimmers. Thirty-eight swimmers (male, n = 20; female, n = 18) completed five experimental evaluations. Initially, the athletes attended the laboratory facilities for venous blood collection, anthropometric measurements, and application of sleep questionnaires. Over the 4 subsequent days, athletes performed randomized maximal efforts on distances of 100, 200, 400, and 800-m. The aerobic and anerobic parameters were determined by linear function between distance vs. time, where CV relates to the slope of regression and AWC to y-intercept. Weighted but untargeted networks were generated based on significant (p < 0.05) correlations among variables regardless of the correlation coefficient. Betweenness and eigenvector metrics were used to highlight the more important nodes inside the complex network. Regardless of the centrality metric, basophils and red blood cells appeared as influential nodes in the networks with AWC or CV as targets. The role of other hematologic components was also revealed in these metrics, along with sleep total time. Overall, these results trigger new discussion on the influence of sleep and hematologic profile on the swimmer’s performance, and the relationships presented by this targeted complex network can be an important tool throughout the athlete’s development.

Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a partial or total upper airway collapse resulting in sleep-breathing disturbances. There are many medical comorbidities associated with OSA; hence, this study is important as the prevalence of patients with medical comorbidities associated with OSA is increasing. The study aimed to correlate medical comorbidities and OSA symptoms of the patients along with their upper airway dimensions using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans to identify patients at risk of developing OSA. This cross-sectional study included patients who had CBCT imaging taken between 2014 and 2020. A questionnaire was used to gather information on patients’ medical history and OSA symptoms. The upper airway dimensions of the CBCT scans were evaluated before logistic regression and Fisher’s exact test were carried out to determine the relationships between the variables. p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Logistic regression revealed an association of longer length (p = 0.016), smaller total volume (p = 0.017) and width (p = 0.010) of upper airways with hypertension. Furthermore, loud snoring was seen in patients with hypertension, heart disease and obesity whereas difficulty concentrating during the day was present in subjects with deviated nasal septum, tonsillitis and depression. For upper airway dimensions, a smaller average volume was associated with loud snoring (p = 0.037), difficulty concentrating during the day (p = 0.002) and mood changes (p = 0.036). A larger anterior-posterior dimension was also associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (p = 0.042), difficulty concentrating during the day (p < 0.001) and mood changes (p = 0.009). Longer airway length was additionally found to be associated with loud snoring (p = 0.021). CBCT taken for dental investigations could be correlated with patients’ medical history and OSA symptoms to screen patients at risk of OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly recognized disorder in children. Adenotonsillectomy is the primary surgical treatment for OSA in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). We present the case of an obese 4-year-old boy hospitalized for severe desaturation during sleep and severe ATH. Nasal steroid therapy proved ineffective with persistent symptoms. Polygraphy documented severe OSA with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) equal to 11. Tonsillectomy resulted in prompt symptom improvement and a substantial reduction of the AHI (2.2). In this case, tonsillectomy alone resulted effective in treating OSA, despite obesity. We concluded that the presence of obesity should not postpone/exclude surgical treatment of preschool children for whom ATH is the most important cause of OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine predictors of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in underweight children and to describe the demographic, clinical, and polysomnographic characteristics of an ethnically diverse population of underweight children with OSA. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Medical Center of Dallas. METHODS Underweight children aged 2 to 18 years who underwent a polysomnogram for suspected OSA between January 2014 and December 2020 were included. Underweight was defined as body mass index <5th percentile per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Children with apnea-hypopnea index <1.0 served as a control group. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of OSA. Significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS An overall 124 children met inclusion criteria: mean age, 6.4 years; 50% female; 44% Hispanic, 31% African American, and 18% Caucasian. A total of 83 children had OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥1.0). Height was negatively correlated with OSA (odds ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.88-0.99; P = .02) while allergic rhinitis (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.24-7.08; P = .01) and tonsillar hypertrophy (odds ratio, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.42-8.02; P = .01) were predictors for the presence of OSA. No demographic or clinical characteristics were predictors for severe OSA. CONCLUSION Underweight children with OSA, as compared with those without OSA, are more likely to have decreased height, tonsillar hypertrophy, and allergic rhinitis. There are no predictors of severe OSA in underweight children. We recommend polysomnography for the diagnosis of OSA in symptomatic underweight children with large tonsils, especially when they have a history of allergies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polysomnogram (PSG) is the "gold standard" for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, nocturnal oximetry is a practical screening tool for children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of, and predictive factors for, OSA in children with ATH and normal / inconclusive overnight oximetry. METHODS The prospective study enrolled children aged 3-15 years with ATH and normal / inconclusive overnight oximetry. All participants underwent full-night PSG. To evaluate the predictors of OSA, we used logistic regression analysis, including sex, history of allergic rhinitis, body mass index z-score, neck circumference-height ratio, and polysomnographic parameters (obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI), nadir oxygen saturation (SpO2), peak end-tidal CO2 , and arousal index). RESULTS The participants were 189 children; 167 (88%) were diagnosed with OSA by PSG. A history of allergic rhinitis (P = 0.033), and the PSG findings for nadir SpO2 (P = 0.027) and arousal index (P = <0.001) predicted the diagnosis of OSA. We divided patients with OSA into two groups (mild versus moderate to severe OSA). Patients with OAHI ≥5/h were defined as having moderate-to-severe OSA. No clinical factors significantly predicted OAHI ≥5. Of the 189 participants, 58 children (31%) were diagnosed with severe OSA (OAHI ≥10). The only PSG factor that predicted severe OSA was the arousal index (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The observed incidence of OSA in children aged 3-15 years with ATH and normal/inconclusive overnight oximetry was very high. A history of allergic rhinitis may help to triage the patients. The arousal index was a predictor of pediatric OSA.

Abstract
Introduction: Environmental factors play a critical role in the progression or resolution of chronic respiratory diseases. However, studies are limited on the impact of environmental risk factors on individuals born prematurely with lung disease after they leave the neonatal intensive care unit and are discharged into the home environment.Areas covered: In this review, we cover current knowledge of environmental exposures that impact outcomes of preterm respiratory disease, including air pollution, infections, and disparities. The limited data do suggest that certain exposures should be avoided and there are potential preventative strategies for other exposures. There is a need for additional research outside the neonatal intensive care unit that focuses on individual and community-level factors that affect long-term outcomes.Expert opinion: Preterm respiratory disease can impose a significant burden on infants, children, and young adults born prematurely, but may improve for many individuals over time. In this review, we outline the exposures that may potentially hasten, delay, or prevent resolution of lung injury in preterm children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of treatment for patients with nasal obstruction secondary to allergic rhinitis (AR) and nasal septal deviation (NSD) on sleep quality. DATA SOURCES Primary studies were identified though PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. REVIEW METHODS A systematic review was performed by querying databases for articles published through August 2020. Studies were included that reported on objective sleep parameters (apnea-hypopnea index) and sinonasal and sleep-specific patient-reported outcome measures: Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (EpSS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). RESULTS The database search yielded 1414 unique articles, of which 28 AR and 7 NSD studies were utilized for meta-analysis. A total of 9037 patients (8515 with AR, 522 with NSD) were identified with a mean age of 35.0 years (35.3 for AR, 34.0 for NSD). Treatment for AR and NSD significantly improved subjective sleep quality. For AR, the EpSS mean difference was -1.5 (95% CI, -2.4 to -0.5; P = .002) and for the PSQI, -1.7 (95% CI, -2.1 to -1.2; P < .00001). For NSD, the EpSS mean difference was -3.2 (95% CI, -4.2 to -2.2; P < .00001) and for the PSQI, -3.4 (95% CI, -6.1 to -0.6; P = .02). CONCLUSION Subjective sleep quality significantly improved following treatment for AR and NSD. There were insufficient data to demonstrate that objective metrics of sleep quality similarly improved.

Abstract
Rhinitis is an umbrella term of a group of upper airway diseases with nasal symptoms and signs with different etiologies and various clinical features or traits. It can be classified into different "phenotypes," based on these observable traits. A proper differential diagnosis is necessary to adequately manage the disease. The objective of this review is to clarify the concept of rhinitis phenotypes while analyzing the clinical features and/or traits of each in order to determine a proper differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Post-anesthetic complications, particularly respiratory complications, continue to be a source of concern due to their high frequency, particularly in pediatrics.
Objective: To describe the incidence of respiratory complications in the post-anesthesia care unit of an intermediate complexity center during a six-month period, and to explore the variables associated with major respiratory complications.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study based on clinical record reviews. The records of the post-anesthesia care unit of an intermediate complexity pediatric institution located in Medellin, Colombia, were reviewed. This center uses a nursing-based care model that includes patient extubation in the post-anesthesia care unit.
Results: The records of 1181 patients were analyzed. The cumulative incidences of major complications were bronchospasm 1.44%, laryngospasm 0.68% and respiratory depression 0.59%. There were no cases of cardiac arrest or acute pulmonary edema. A history of respiratory infection less than 15 days before the procedure, rhinitis and female sex were associated with major respiratory complications.
Conclusions: A low frequency of respiratory complications was found during care provided by nursing staff trained in anesthesia recovery and pediatric airway in the post-anesthesia care unit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem with gradually increasing prevalence. No large-scale, systematic, and comprehensive study on AR among civil aviation aircrew of China has been reported. We aimed to demonstrate the prevalence of and risk factors for self-reported AR among Chinese civil aviation aircrew.METHODS: This study randomly surveyed 4059 civil aviation aircrew members from 12 cities in mainland China. A structured questionnaire was tailored, designed, and electronically delivered to all participants. Based on self-reported results, prevalence of and risk factors for AR were calculated/analyzed.RESULTS: The prevalence of self-reported AR was 23.38%. Among aircrew members, 10.37% presented with ear barotraumas, whereas 9.95% reported symptom aggravation during flight. Of aircrew members, 10.32% had symptoms related to flight duration, whereas 4.43% of symptoms related to flight altitude. Significant differences between rhinorrhea and sneezing, as well as between nasal itching and sneezing, were observed in the Total Nasal Symptoms Scores (TNSS). The Rhino-conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) showed significant correlation between each section. TNSS was significantly related to RQLQ. Both TNSS and RQLQ significantly correlated with flight time.CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of self-reported AR among civil aviation aircrew is higher than the general population in China. The severity of nasal symptoms and complications are significantly associated with quality of life and flying duties.Bai Y, Hu M, Ma F, Liu K, Xu H, Wu X, Wang H.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is usually associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and depression. Data on relevant OSA-associated comorbidities in Central–European populations are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of comorbidities in two OSA cohorts from Hungary and Romania. Methods: Data from 588 (282 from Hungary, 306 from Romania) untreated patients with OSA were retrospectively analyzed. The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), osteoporosis, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia and depression were compared between the two populations following adjustment for demographics, body mass index, smoking history, comorbidities and sleep parameters. Results: The prevalence rates of hypertension, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease, diabetes and COPD in the whole study population were directly related to the severity of OSA. We found an inverse correlation between the prevalence of osteoporosis and OSA severity (all p < 0.05). Following adjustment, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in the Hungarian cohort, whilst the prevalence of asthma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher in the Romanian cohort (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: There was no difference in the prevalence rate of most comorbidities in patients with OSA from the two cohorts, except for dyslipidemia, asthma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Background and objectives: Rhinitis could be considered a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Studies were conducted to evaluate the relation between OSA and Allergic rhinitis (AR). Non-allergic rhinitis with eosinophilia syndrome (NARES) is a condition with a symptomatology apparently similar to AR. The aim of this study was to evaluate the different presence of OSA in patients suffering from NARES and AR. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients were enrolled and subdivided into NARES, AR and control groups. NARES and AR diagnosis were performed using ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) protocol. All patients were screened for OSA with home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) exam analyzing AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) values. Results: Results showed that 60% of patients affected by NARES presented OSA. On the contrary, altered AHI was found only in 35% of patients affected by AR and in 10% of patients belonging to the control group. Conclusions: In conclusion, data showed that there was an increased risk of OSA in NARES patients respect to AR patients and healthy patients.

Abstract
Subcutaneous immunotherapy is the only treatment that improves the natural progression of allergic rhinitis and maintains long-term outcomes after discontinuation of the drug. Metabolomics is increasingly applied in the study of allergic diseases, including allergic rhinitis. However, little is known about the discovery of metabolites that can evaluate clinical efficacy and possible mechanisms of Artemisia sieversiana pollen subcutaneous immunotherapy. Thirty-three patients with Artemisia sieversiana pollen allergic rhinitis significantly improved after 1-year subcutaneous immunotherapy treatment, while ten patients were ineffective. Pre- and post-treatment serum samples from these patients were analyzed by metabolomics based on the combined detection of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. As a result, L-Tyrosine can be a potential biomarker because of its opposite trend in effective patients and ineffective patients. And mechanism of immunotherapy may be closely related to NO and nitric oxide synthase. The discovery of potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways has contributed to the in-depth study of mechanisms of subcutaneous immunotherapy treatment of Artemisia sieversiana pollen allergic rhinitis.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2020; 124:608-615.e2. [PMID: 32173484 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2020.03.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Revised: 03/03/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bermuda grass is a prevalent allergen that flourishes in tropical climates. Its exposure is traditionally believed to be low in Ontario due to the colder environment. However, high sensitization rates have been observed in Kingston, Ontario. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate whether its allergens can provoke allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms in sensitized participants from south-eastern Ontario and determine if nasal allergen challenge (NAC) model is appropriate to study Bermuda grass-induced AR. METHODS Twenty-one participants sensitized to Bermuda grass and 12 nonallergic participants completed a titrated NAC with increasing allergen concentrations at a screening visit. Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and peak nasal inspiratory flow were collected before allergen exposure and 10 minutes after delivery of each concentration. Twelve participants with a Bermuda grass allergy who met the qualifying criteria (TNSS ≥ 8 and peak nasal inspiratory flow fall ≥ 50%) and 11 nonallergic controls returned for single-dose NAC visit. RESULTS At titrated NAC, 19 of 21 sensitized participants met the criteria of positive allergic response when challenged. During single-dose NAC, participants with allergy had significantly greater TNSS between 15 minutes and 3 hours after NAC than controls. Likewise, allergic participants had a significantly increased number of nasal lavage eosinophils at both 1 and 6 hours after NAC. Bermuda grass-specific immunoglobulin E was significantly increased in Bermuda grass allergic participants at NAC than screening visit. CONCLUSION Although Bermuda grass is a non-native allergen in Ontario, it can induce AR symptoms in sensitized participants, and the NAC model is appropriate to study Bermuda grass-induced AR.

The association between allergic rhinitis and sleep: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0228533. [PMID: 32053609 PMCID: PMC7018032 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0228533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 01/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the associations of allergic rhinitis with sleep duration and sleep impairment. Observational studies published before August 2019 were obtained through English language literature searches in the PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases. Mean differences and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were extracted and used for meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was confirmed by the I2-heterogeneity test. Subgroup analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of study design. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was used to determine the level of evidence. In total, 2544 records were identified through database searches; 914 duplicate records were excluded, 1452 records were removed after screening of titles and abstracts, 151 records were excluded after full-text screening, and 27 articles were included in the final meta-analyses. A total of 240,706,026 patients (19,444,043 with allergic rhinitis) were considered. No significant difference in sleep duration between the allergic rhinitis and the control groups was found. Patients with allergic rhinitis presented with significantly higher sleep quality scores, sleep disturbances scores, and sleep latency scores; more frequent use of sleep medications; and lower sleep efficiency as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and polysomnography. Meta-analyses for adjusted odds ratios showed that allergic rhinitis was also associated with higher risks of nocturnal dysfunctions, including insomnia, nocturnal enuresis, restless sleep, sleep-disordered breathing, obstructive sleep apnea, and snoring. Meta-analysis for adjusted odds ratio also showed that allergic rhinitis was associated with daytime dysfunction, including difficulty waking up, daytime sleepiness, morning headache, and the use of sleep medications. The overall quality of evidence ranged from low to very low, indicating that caution is required when interpreting these results. This study demonstrates that there is a significant association of AR with sleep characteristics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rhinitis and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are different diseases, but have some similar risk factors. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare the risk factors and clinical biomarkers for rhinitis and OSAS in children. METHODS We examined 3917 children (age 4-13 years) who were enrolled in a cross-sectional study conducted in Seongnam, Korea. Their parents completed the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) for evaluation of OSAS and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire for evaluation of rhinitis. Clinical biomarkers, including total eosinophil count and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), were measured in a subset of these children. RESULTS OSAS and rhinitis had prevalences of 4.0% and 43.5%, respectively. Body mass index (P < 0.001) and prematurity (P = 0.016) were significantly associated with OSAS, but not with rhinitis. Higher parental education and income increased the risk for rhinitis, but decreased the risk for OSAS. Having more siblings and birth by Cesarean delivery decreased the risk for rhinitis, but living in a new household increased the risk for rhinitis. A short distance of the residence to a main road during pregnancy significantly increased the risk of OSAS. Males, increased exposure to mould, and firstborns had increased risk of OSAS and rhinitis. The NLR was higher in OSAS patients than in those with allergic rhinitis (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION OSAS and rhinitis shared some risk factors, whereas other factors had inverse association with the two disorders. These results imply that different strategies might be used for prevention of rhinitis and OSAS.

Abstract
Introduction Nasal congestion and obstruction are reported in the majority of continuous positive airway pressure users and are frequently cited as reasons for noncompliance. Baseline inflammation due to allergic rhinitis could increase or exacerbate the inflammatory effect of high airflow in the nasal cavity as the result of continuous positive airway pressure and lead to greater continuous positive airway pressure intolerance. In this setting, intranasal steroids would be expected to counteract the nasal inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis and/or continuous positive airway pressure. Objective The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of topical corticosteroid use on nasal patency after acute exposure to positive pressure. Methods Ten individuals with allergic rhinitis were exposed to 1 h of continuous airway pressure (15 cm H2O) in the nasal cavity, delivered by a continuous positive airway pressure device. Visual analog scale, nasal obstruction symptom evaluation scale, acoustic rhinometry and peak nasal inspiratory flow were performed before and after the intervention. After 4 weeks topical nasal steroid (budesonide) application, positive pressure exposure was repeated as well as the first assessments. Results Patients reported a statistically significant improvement both on the visual analog (p = 0.013) and obstruction symptom evaluation scales (p < 0.01). Furthermore, objective measurements were improved as well, with increased nasal cavity volume on acoustic rhinometry (p = 0.02) and increased peak nasal inspiratory flow (p = 0.012), after corticosteroid treatment. Conclusion In patients with allergic rhinitis, intranasal corticosteroid therapy improved objective and subjective parameters of nasal patency after acute exposure of the nasal cavity to positive pressure.

Abstract
Nasal obstruction is a frequent condition in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Nasal obstruction leads to mouth breathing, which is thought to destabilise the upper airway and aggravate the condition. Three conditions could be considered as the cause of the nasal breathing obstruction: anatomical conditions of the nose (septum deviation, hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and chronic nasal inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis or non-allergic cellular rhinitis. In this prospective study, we present an evaluation of all these possible rhino-sinusal aspects in OSA patients to correlate different nasal pathologies with nasal obstruction. Fifty patients with a diagnosis of OSA were enrolled in the study. In 70% of OSA patients, nasal obstruction was confirmed by clinical evaluation and rhinomanometry testing. Normal rhino-sinus aspects were present in only 20% of OSA patients, whereas one or more pathological rhino-sinus conditions were present in the remaining 80%. The percentage of OSA patients with a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and non-allergic rhinitis was 18% and 26% respectively. Non-allergic rhinitis with neutrophils (NARNE) was the most frequent type of cellular rhinitis diagnosed in OSA patients (20% of cases). The results of the present study support and extend the observation that rhinitis is present in OSA patients. Mucosal inflammation caused by these conditions could be the cause of upper airway patency impairment inducing nasal mucosa swelling.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Elucidate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) development and pathophysiology relative to regeneration, degeneration, and adaption. RECENT FINDINGS The pharyngeal arch produces a highly conserved stomatognathic system that supports airway and masticatory function. An induced subperiosteal layer of fibrocartilage cushions TMJ functional and parafunctional loads. If the fibrocartilage disc is present, a fractured mandibular condyle (MC) regenerates near the eminence of the fossa via a blastema emanating from the medial periosteal surface of the ramus. TMJ degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a relatively painless osteoarthrosis, resulting in extensive sclerosis, disc destruction, and lytic lesions. Facial form and symmetry may be affected, but the residual bone is vital because distraction continues to lengthen the MC with anabolic bone modeling. Extensive TMJ adaptive, healing, and regenerative potential maintains optimal, life support functions over a lifetime. Unique aspects of TMJ development, function, and pathophysiology may be useful for innovative management of other joints.
