Paper is the second part of the literature review on house dust mites (including 1985). It deals with the diagnosis of the dust mite allergy, the nature of the mite allergens, distribution and population density of the mites in various premises, seasonal population dynamics and population age structure of the dermatophagoid mites, life cycle and breeding of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D. farinae on different food substrates. The methods of the house dust mite control are discussed. The original data on the house dust mite distribution in Moscow is shown. A comparative estimation of the results of mite antigens in the house dust discovering by the acarological and three immunological methods are given.

Background: House dust mites (HDMs) are the most common cause of atopic sensitivities and allergic diseases worldwide. Therefore, we decided to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to evaluate the effect of different methods of HDM avoidance.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched to find articles of control-compared randomized clinical trials, which investigated the following analyzed outcomes: total amount of dust (g); Der1 (Der p1 plus Der f1) concentrations (µg/g); Der p1 concentrations (µg/g); Der p2 concentrations (µg/g); Der f1 concentrations (µg/g); measurements of peak expiratory flow (PEF) (L/min); respiratory, pulmonary, or nasal symptoms according to various scales, including visual analog scale; exacerbations; Asthma Control Questionnaire score measurements; and change in quality of life scales (overall change, activity change, symptom change, and emotional function change).
Coal dust particles can upregulate the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components in rat alveolar macrophages through phagocytosis.

Previous studies have demonstrated that silica can activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, and that macrophage phagocytosis is an essential step in this process. Although carbon is the primary component of coal dust particles, it also contains other impurities such as free silica, clay, sulfides, and carbonate minerals. Additional research is still necessary to discover if NLRP3 can be triggered due to the low silica content of coal dust particles.

Lung pathogenic T helper type 2 (pTh2) cells are important in mediating allergic asthma, but fundamental questions remain regarding their heterogeneity and epigenetic regulation. Here we investigate immune regulation in allergic asthma by single-cell RNA sequencing in mice challenged with house dust mite, in the presence and absence of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) function. Our analyses indicate two distinct highly proinflammatory subsets of lung pTh2 cells and pinpoint thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Tumour Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily (TNFRSF) members as important drivers to generate pTh2 cells in vitro.
