Humidifier disinfectants (HDs) exposure has now been associated with acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis; polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) has been confirmed to cause severe lung inflammation and fibrosis in mice. Recent evidence also indicates that HDs exposure increases the asthma risk in children, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of PHMG exposure on asthma in mice and the potential underlying mechanisms.

Exposure to chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT) has been associated with allergic contact dermatitis and occupational asthma. Despite this association however, no study has investigated the effects of CMIT/MIT exposure on the development of atopic dermatitis (AD). This study was conducted to investigate the influence of epicutaneous exposure to CMIT/MIT on AD in a mouse model and the underlying biological mechanisms.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is recently increasing among populations, but the underlying mechanisms remain controversial. Interactions between the gut microbiota and mucosal immunity are considered to be a crucial etiology. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), prebiotics have been reported as activators of the gut microbiota.
