Allergenicity of native and recombinant major allergen groups 1 and 2 of Dermatophagoides mites in mite sensitive Thai patients
Conclusion: We successfully produced native and recombinant group-1 and group-2 allergens. According to their allergenicities, recombinant Der p 2 and rDer f 2 have potential to replace native allergen in diagnostic and therapeutic extracts. Moreover, they can employ as a standard reagent to measure the amount of group 2 allergen in the environment by sandwich-ELISA and utilise this as an immunogen for MAb production.

Ant allergens and hypersensitivity reactions in response to ant stings
Hypersensitivity reactions caused by ant stings are increasingly recognized as an important cause of death by anaphylaxis. Only some species of ants ( e.g. Solenopsis spp., Myrmecia spp., and Pachycondyla spp.) cause allergic reactions. Ant species are identified by evaluating the morphologic structures of worker ants or by molecular techniques. Ant venom contains substances, including acids and alkaloids, that cause toxic reactions, and those from Solenopsis invicta or the imported fire ant have been widely studied. Piperidine alkaloids and low protein contents can cause local reactions (sterile pustules) and systemic rea...

Clinical characteristics of recurrent acute rhinosinusitis in children
Conclusion: The most common presenting symptoms of RARS in children were purulent nasal discharge, nasal congestion and postnasal drainage. Children with RARS should be evaluated for the presence of underlying conditions such as immunodeficiency and allergic disease, which led to the appropriate management for these children.

Anaphylactic reactions in adult patients in Southern Israel
Conclusions: Adult Jewish patients have a significantly higher probability of having anaphylactic reactions due to food compared with Bedouin patients, with females being more affected, and the incidence of anaphylactic reaction is increasing only in the Jewish population. The epidemiology of anaphylactic reactions can differ between populations residing in the same geographical area. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

Association between flow cytometric crossmatching and graft survival in Thai cadaveric-donor kidney transplantation
Conclusion: Although positive FCXM, particularly for HLA class I, was significantly associated with graft loss from AMR within 1 year of transplantation in this study, there were a lot of FCXM false positives, as high as 35.9%. Additional studies are required to further assess the usefulness of FCXM in Thailand. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

Provocation proven drug allergy in Thai children with adverse drug reactions
Conclusion: Drug allergy, denoted by positive DPT, was present in 14.4% of Thai children with a history of ADRs. Antibiotics were the most common cause of ADRs. Both SPT and ID had high NPV and specificity but did not predict DPT results. HIV positivity is a risk factor of drug allergy in Thai children.

Risk factors of atopic dermatitis in Korean schoolchildren: 2010 international study of asthma and allergies in childhood
Conclusion: In Korean schoolchildren, risk factors such as atopy, the presence of parental allergic diseases, moving into a newly built house during infancy and visible mould in the house were associated with AD. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

Lentiviral vector-mediated delivery of lysopho-sphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 attenuates airway inflammation in ovalbumin-induced allergic asthmatic mice
Conclusions: These results suggested that the exogenous expression of LPCAT1 may attenuate eosinophil inflammation in the airway by down-regulating the LPC 16:0 and LPC 18:0 BALF levels in asthmatic mice. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)

Would mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio be used as a novel formula to predict 22q11.2 deletion syndrome?
Conclusions: High MPV/PLT value can be a good predictor for diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. We suggest that the patient who has facial dysmorphism and retardation in neurodevelopmental milestones and if MPV ≥8.6fl, MPV/PLTx10 5 ratio ≥3.3 and PLT count≤265500/mm 3 , the patient should be tested by FISH analysis to confirm 22q11.2 deletion. If there is not macrothrombocytes, 10p13 deletion should be tested in suspected cases. DOI 10.12932/AP0604.34.2.2016 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal o...

Minimal clinical important difference (MCID) of the Thai Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL)
Conclusions: The Thai CU-Q 2 oL is a valid and reliable instrument. We propose that a difference in the Thai CU-Q 2 oL score of 15 (MCID) is the smallest change patients perceive as a meaningful improvement. DOI 10.12932/AP0674.34.2.2016 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology)
