Purpose: Heat stress exacerbates post-exercise hypotension (PEH) and cardiovascular disturbances from elevated body temperature may contribute to exertion-related incapacity. Mast cell degranulation and muscle mass are possible modifiers, though these hypotheses lack practical evidence. This study had three aims: (1) to characterise pre-post-responses in histamine and mast cell tryptase (MCT), (2) to investigate relationships between whole body muscle mass (WBMM) and changes in blood pressure post-marathon, (3) to identify any differences in incapacitated runners.

Methods: 24 recreational runners were recruited and successfully completed the 2019 Brighton Marathon (COMPLETION). WBMM was measured at baseline. A further eight participants were recruited from incapacitated runners (COLLAPSE). Histamine, MCT, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and echocardiographic measures were taken before and after exercise (COMPLETION) and upon incapacitation (COLLAPSE).

Results: In completion, MCT increased by nearly 50% from baseline (p = 0.0049), whereas histamine and body temperature did not vary (p > 0.946). Systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean (MAP) arterial blood pressures and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) declined (p < 0.019). WBMM negatively correlated with Δ SBP (r = - 0.43, p = 0.046). For collapse versus completion, there were significant elevations in MCT (1.77 ± 0.25 μg/L vs 1.18 ± 0.43 μg/L, p = 0.001) and body temperature (39.8 ± 1.3 °C vs 36.2 ± 0.8 °C, p < 0.0001) with a non-significant rise in histamine (9.6 ± 17.9 μg/L vs 13.7 ± 33.9 μg/L, p = 0.107) and significantly lower MAP, DBP and SVR (p < 0.033).

Conclusion: These data support the hypothesis that mast cell degranulation is a vasodilatory mechanism underlying PEH and exercise associated collapse. The magnitude of PEH is inversely proportional to the muscle mass and enhanced by concomitant body heating.

Mast cells (MC) are crucial effectors in immediate allergic reactions. Monomeric IgE sensitizes MC and triggers various signaling responses. FcεRI/IgE/antigen crosslinking induces the release of several mediators, including bioactive lipids, but little is known about endocannabinoids (eCBs) secretion.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and acute non-allergic rhinosinusitis (ARS) often present with similar symptoms. While these are generally differentiated by history and occasionally by secretion cell counts, there are few data temporally comparing these conditions.

Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted to assess nasal mucus properties, nasal obstruction, nasal secretion cells, and health related QOL during the acute phase (Day 5) and during a later phase of illness (Day 14/28).

Cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions play multiple roles in developmental, physiological, and pathological processes. ECM stiffness substantially affects cellular morphology, migration, and function. In this study, we investigated the effect of ECM comprising gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) on the activation of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells, a model mast cell line.

Glioma is the most common malignant brain tumor. Previous studies have reported that calnexin (CANX) is significantly up-regulated in a variety of malignant tumors, including glioma, but its biological function and mechanism in glioma is still unclear. In this study, differentially expressed proteins in 3 primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tissues and 3 paracancer tissues were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomic and bioinformatic analysis.

There is growing evidence that programmed cell death plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Anoikis is a newly discovered type of programmed death and has garnered great attention. However, the precise involvement of Anoikis in the progression of CTEPH remains poorly understood.
