Background: Anti-interleukin-33 (anti-IL-33) and anti-Siglec-F antibodies have potent anti-allergic effects on murine allergic asthma and rhinitis and induce eosinophil apoptosis.
Objective: We aimed to determine whether post-sensitization with anti-IL-33/anti-Siglec-F treatments exhibited more potent effects compared to individual treatments in a murine allergic asthma model.
Material And Methods: Twenty-five BALB/c mice were separated into five groups (n = 5): Group A (control), Group B (ovalbumin [OVA] challenge), Group C (OVA + anti-IL-33), Group D (OVA + anti-Siglec-F), and Group E (OVA + anti-IL-33 + anti-Siglec-F). Serum total/ OVA-specific IgE, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) inflammatory cells and cytokines (IL-4 and IL-5), histopathological lung properties, and airway hyperreactivity were compared.
Results: Ovalbumin challenge induced strong immune and inflammatory responses with > 6-fold IgE level increases; 10- to 25-fold BAL eosinophil, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count increases; and > 1.5-fold IL-4 and IL-5 level increases (p < 0.05). Whereas anti-IL-33 reduced neutrophil counts, anti-Siglec-F and anti-IL-33/anti-Siglec-F reduced both eosinophil and neutrophil counts (p < 0.05). Individual treatments reduced OVA-mediated bronchiolar infiltration by 50% (p <0.05). Ovalbumin challenge increased airway hyperreactivity by 4-fold (Group B; 2000.0 ±671.8% increase in Penh) compared to controls (Group A; 445.7 ±33.5% increase in Penh) (p = 0.016). The anti-IL-33 (Group C: 1579.4 ±973.6% increase in Penh) and anti-Siglec-F (Group D: 930.4 ±236.5%) groups demonstrated significantly reduced hyperreactivity (p = 0.029). Anti-IL-33/anti-Siglec-F therapy showed synergism towards neutrophil counts, IL-5 concentrations, bronchial infiltration, and hyperreactivity (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Combination treatment with anti-IL-33/anti-Siglec-F had more potent anti-allergic effects, reducing eosinophilic infiltration through their additive effects in a murine allergic asthma model.

Numerous studies have reported on the types of aeroallergen sensitization in various pediatric allergic diseases, but limited data compared the types of aeroallergen sensitization across different pediatric allergic diseases. The aim of this study is to explore the nature and significance of aeroallergen sensitization in diverse pediatric allergic conditions. A comparative analysis was carried out on aeroallergen sensitization in children suffering from allergic diseases who visited the Otolaryngology, Respiratory, and Dermatology Departments between January 2019 and December 2023.

Allergic diseases and ulcerative colitis (UC) share pathophysiological similarities. This study aimed to investigate the unclear association between allergic diseases and mucosal healing (MH), an important factor in the prognosis of UC. We studied 289 Japanese patients with UC.

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly common cause of food impaction.
Aims: This study aims to provide a nationwide analysis of food impaction in patients with or without EoE diagnosis, concentrating on patient demographics, interventions, outcomes, and development of predictive machine-learning models.
Methods: A retrospective assessment was conducted using Nationwide Emergency Department Sample data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019.

Introduction: Numerous studies have characterised trajectories of asthma and allergy in children using machine learning, but with different techniques and mixed findings. The present work aimed to summarise the evidence and critically appraise the methodology.
Methods: 10 databases were searched.

Background: Childhood allergic diseases are a global concern; quite limited studies have examined the impacts of parental age at delivery. This study aimed to explore the association between separate and combined parental age at delivery and childhood allergic diseases and whether adequate breastfeeding could modify this association.
Methods: This cross-sectional study sampled 15,976 children from Shanghai, China.
