Background: The common contact allergens may change over time as the environmental exposure changes.
Objectives: To identify the prevalence rates and changing trends of contact allergens in Taiwan over a 40-year period.
Materials & Methods: The patch testing results of a referral centre from 1978 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is linked with chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer, prompting researchers to find biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC).
- A study using iTRAQ revealed 99 proteins with higher expression in GC patients compared to those with duodenal ulcers, identifying four potential antigens—AlpA, OipA, BabA, and SabA—that are more prevalent in GC patients.
- The combination of OipA, BabA, and SabA significantly improved the ability to differentiate between GC and non-GC patients, with a prediction accuracy of 77.3%, leading to the creation of a diagnostic protein microarray for rapid detection of H.
