Background: Several studies have shown anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antifungal, and antioxidant effects from -peel essential oil (Cl-PEO). Cl-PEO can be developed as topical drugs for oral ulceration because of its potential active components. There have been no studies on the topical application of Cl-PEO inducing type IV hypersensitivity reaction.

Purpose: To investigate the potential of Cl-PEO from Batu City to induce type IV hypersensitivity reactions based on clinical changes, lymphocytes, macrophages, IFNγ, andIL10 expression.

Methods: This study was adapted from a guinea pig maximization-test method in Indonesia and the guidance of ISO 10,993-10:2010, and conducted on 20 guinea pigs () divided into a control group and a treatment group. The treatment group was given Cl-PEO and the control group CMC-Na. Clinical changes were observed, then tissue specimens taken for hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining.

Results: There were no clinical changes after exposure. Lymphocyte and macrophage numbers and IFNγ and IL10 expression increased in the treatment group compared to the control group (=0).

Conclusion: Cl-PEO can induce type IV hypersensitivity reactions in guinea pigs based on cellular and molecular cytokines, but there are no clinical changes after topical application.

Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)-associated behaviors. A consistent and debilitating phenotype of FXS is auditory hypersensitivity that may lead to delayed language and high anxiety. Consistent with findings in FXS human studies, the mouse model of FXS, the Fmr1 knock out (KO) mouse, shows auditory hypersensitivity and temporal processing deficits.

Introduction: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a distinct subset of chronic rhinosinusitis characterized by a type I hypersensitivity to fungi. Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for fungal infections. This case highlights the complexities of managing AFRS in patients not eligible for surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by low levels or dysfunctional C1 inhibitor, leading to recurrent episodes of swelling and abdominal pain.
  • A reported case involves a 53-year-old man with a longstanding history of recurrent edema and family history, who showed low levels of plasma proteins but faced treatment challenges despite various therapies, including a trial of Lanadelumab for prophylaxis.
  • The patient's experience highlights issues in managing HAE, revealing an adverse reaction to Lanadelumab that is not commonly documented, emphasizing the need for better-informed treatment strategies.

Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease that affects millions globally. Although glucocorticoids are a mainstay of asthma treatment, a subset of patients show resistance to these therapies, resulting in poor disease control and increased morbidity. The complex mechanisms underlying steroid-resistant asthma (SRA) involve Th1 and Th17 lymphocyte activity, neutrophil recruitment, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder affecting nearly 50 million individuals worldwide. Besides aging, various comorbidities can increase the risk of AD, such as asthma. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this asthma-associated AD exacerbation is unknown.
