Abstract
Aspirin has been known for a long time and currently stays as a cornerstone of antithrombotic therapy in cardiovascular disease. In patients with either acute or chronic coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention aspirin is mandatory in a dual antiplatelet therapy regimen for prevention of stent thrombosis and/or new ischaemic events. Aspirin is also currently a first-option antithrombotic therapy after an aortic prosthetic valve replacement and is occasionally required in addition to oral anticoagulants after implantation of a mechanical valve. Presumed or demonstrated aspirin hypersensitivity is a main clinical problem, limiting the use of a life-saving medication. In the general population, aspirin hypersensitivity has a prevalence of 0.6%-2.5% and has a plethora of clinical presentations, ranging from aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease to anaphylaxis. Although infrequent, when encountered in clinical practice aspirin hypersensitivity poses for cardiologists a clinical dilemma, which should never be trivialized, avoiding-as much as possible-omission of the drug. We here review the epidemiology of aspirin hypersensitivity, provide an outline of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical presentations, and review management options, starting from a characterization of true aspirin allergy-in contrast to intolerance-to suggestion of desensitization protocols.

Unraveling the pharmacodynamic substances and possible mechanism of Trichosanthis Pericarpium in the treatment of coronary heart disease based on plasma pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology and experimental validation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 325:117869. [PMID: 38342153 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a chronic disease that seriously threatens people's health and even their lives. Currently, there is no ideal drug without side effects for the treatment of CHD. Trichosanthis Pericarpium (TP) has been used for several years in the treatment of diseases associated with CHD. However, there is still a need for systematic research to unravel the pharmacodynamic substances and possible mechanism of TP in the treatment of coronary heart. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of current study was to explore the pharmacodynamic substances and potential mechanisms of TP in the treatment of CHD via integrating network pharmacology with plasma pharmacochemistry and experimental validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of TP intervention in CHD was firstly assessed on high-fat diet combined with isoprenaline-induced CHD rats and H2O2-induced H9c2 cells, respectively. Then, the LC-MS was utilized to identify the absorbed components of TP in the plasma of CHD rats, and this was used to develop a network pharmacology prediction to obtain the possible active components and mechanisms of action. Molecular docking and immunohistochemistry were used to explore the interaction between TP and key targets. Subsequently, the efficacy of the active ingredients was investigated by in vitro cellular experiments, and their metabolic pathways in CHD rats were further analyzed. RESULTS The effects of TP on amelioration of CHD were verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. Plasma pharmacochemistry and network pharmacology screened six active components in plasma including apigenin, phenylalanine, quercetin, linoleic acid, luteolin, and tangeretin. The interaction of these compounds with potential key targets AKT1, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and VEGFA were preliminarily verified by molecular docking. And immunohistochemical results showed that TP reduced the expression of AKT1, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and VEGFA in CHD rat hearts. Then cellular experiments confirmed that apigenin, phenylalanine, quercetin, linoleic acid, luteolin, and tangeretin were able to reduce the ROS level in H2O2-induced HUVEC cells and promote the migration and tubule formation of HUVEC cells, indicating the pharmacodynamic effects of the active components. Meanwhile, the metabolites of TP in CHD rats suggested that the pharmacological effects of TP might be the result of the combined effects of the active ingredients and their metabolites. CONCLUSION Our study found that TP intervention in CHD is characterized by multi-component and multi-target regulation. Apigenin, phenylalanine, linoleic acid, quercetin, luteolin, and tangeretin are the main active components of TP. TP could reduce inflammatory response and endothelial damage by regulating AKT1, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and VEGFA, reduce ROS level to alleviate the oxidative stress situation and improve heart disease by promoting angiogenesis to regulate endothelial function. This study also provides an experimental and scientific basis for the clinical application and rational development of TP.

[PMID: 38317805 PMCID: PMC10838899 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacig.2024.100205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Background Previous studies have determined that up to 6% of patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) have family history of AERD, indicating a possible link with genetic polymorphisms. However, whole exome sequencing (WES) studies of such associations are currently lacking. Objectives We sought to examine whether WES can identify pathogenic variants associated with AERD. Methods Diagnoses of AERD were confirmed in patients with nasal polyps and asthma. WES was performed using an Illumina sequencing platform. Human Phenotype Ontology terms were used to define the patients' phenotypes. Exomiser was used to annotate, filter, and prioritize possible disease-causing genetic variants. Results Of 39 patients with AERD, 41% reported a family history of asthma and 5% reported a family history of AERD. Pathogenic exome variants in the filaggrin gene (FLG) were found in 2 patients (5%). Other variants not known to be pathogenic were detected in an additional 16 patients (41%) in genes related to epithelial integrity and cellular interactions, including genes encoding desmoglein 3 (DSG3), dynein axonemal heavy chain 9 (DNAH9), collagen type VII alpha 1 chain (COL7A1), collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain (COL17A1), chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein-7 (CHD7), TSC complex subunit 2/tuberous sclerosis-2 protein (TSC2), P-selectin (SELP), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA). Conclusion WES identified a monogenic susceptibility to AERD in 5% of patients with FLG pathogenic variants. Other variants not previously identified as pathogenic were found in genes relevant to epithelial integrity and cellular interactions and may further reveal genetic factors that contribute to this condition.

Abstract
Treatable traits is a personalized medicine approach to the management of airway disease. Assessing traits within the 3 domains of pulmonary, extrapulmonary, and behavioral/lifestyle/risk factor traits, and applying targeted treatments to effectively manage these traits, enables a holistic and personalized approach to care. Asthma is a heterogeneous and complex airway disease that is frequently complicated by several extrapulmonary traits that impact asthma outcomes and predict future outcomes. We propose that the identification of extrapulmonary and behavioral risk factor traits and the implementation of targeted therapy will lead to improved management of people with asthma. Furthermore, many extrapulmonary traits present as "connected comorbidities"; that is, they coexist with asthma, have an impact on asthma, and effective treatment improves both asthma and the comorbidity or the comorbidities may share a similar mechanism. In this review, we explore this concept and look at atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, gastroesophageal reflux disease, anxiety, and depression as treatable traits of asthma and how these can be managed using this approach.

Abstract
The lifetime prevalence of 8.6% of asthma in Germany reflects the high medical and socioeconomic impact of the disease. Asthma treatment goals have changed during the last decades: from symptom control to symptom prevention, with highly effective, disease-modifying anti-asthmatic drugs (DMAADs) aiming at asthma remission. In order to achieve this goal, phenotyping of patients (including an evaluation of allergies and type 2 biomarkers) is crucial for personalized treatment. The identification and effective treatment of concomitant diseases, such as allergic rhinitis or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), plays a major role for successful treatment. This underlines the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration of otolaryngologists and respiratory physicians in the management of patients with asthma. This CME article informs the reader about current guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, focusing on clinically relevant recommendations for ENT physicians.

Abstract
The prevalence of analgesic intolerance syndrome (AIS), internationally known as NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD), is reported to be 0.5-5.7% in the general population. The disease often begins with nasal symptoms, which are later joined by chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), asthma, and respiratory hypersensitivity reactions following use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In the setting of chronic respiratory disease, the type 2 inflammatory endotype is predominant in approximately 80% of patients with CRSwNP, rendering biologics directed against interleukin (IL)-4, IL‑5, IL-13, and IgE of high clinical interest, particularly in patients with severe CRSwNP and NERD. NERD is often associated with CRSwNP and asthma. Patients with CRSwNP and NERD have been treated, among other therapies, with aspirin therapy after desensitization (ATAD). With the approval of monoclonal antibodies for CRSwNP and asthma, the question arises as to what extent ATAD, which is associated with undesirable side effects, is still useful in the treatment of CRSwNP. In this manuscript, the use of ATAD in CRSwNP patients is discussed from different medical and socioeconomic points of view, both alternatively to or in combination with monoclonal antibodies. Accordingly, both ATAD and biologics continue to play a supporting role in modern treatment of CRSwNP in NERD patients, and should be used judiciously to complement each other.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) causes nasal obstruction and olfactory dysfunction. Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is the triad of CRSwNP, asthma, and respiratory reactions to COX-1 inhibitors. Patients with AERD have elevated nasal IL-5 levels and high numbers of antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), including plasma cells and plasmablasts, in their polyp tissue; in addition, their nasal polyp (NP) IgE levels are correlated with disease severity and recurrence of nasal polyposis. OBJECTIVE We sought to explore differences in the transcriptomic profile, activation markers, and IL-5Rα expression and function of NP ASCs from patients with AERD and CRSwNP. METHODS NP tissue was collected from patients with AERD and CRSwNP and digested into single-cell suspensions. NP cells were analyzed for protein expression by mass cytometry. For IL-5Rα functional studies, plasma cells were purified and cultured in vitro with or without IL-5 and analyzed by bulk RNA sequencing. RESULTS Compared with polyp tissue from patients with CRSwNP, polyp tissue from patients with AERD contained significantly more ASCs and had increased ASC expression of IL-5Rα. ASCs from patients with AERD expressed higher protein levels of B-cell activation and regulatory markers (CD40, CD19, CD32, and CD38) and the proliferation marker Ki-67. ASCs from patients with AERD also expressed more IL5RA, IGHE, and cell cycle- and proliferation-related transcripts (CCND2, MKI67, CDC25A, and CDC25B) than did ASCs from patients with CRSwNP. Stimulation of plasma cells from patients with AERD with IL-5 induced key cell cycle genes (CCND2 and PTP4A3), whereas IL-5 stimulation of ASCs from patients with CRSwNP induced few transcriptomic changes. CONCLUSION NP tissue ASCs from patients with AERD express higher levels of functional IL-5Rα and markers associated with cell cycling and proliferation than do ASCs from patients with aspirin-tolerant CRSwNP.

Abstract
The Saudi Initiative for Asthma 2024 (SINA-2024) is the sixth version of asthma guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma for adults and children that was developed by the SINA group, a subsidiary of the Saudi Thoracic Society. The main objective of the SINA is to have guidelines that are up-to-date, simple to understand, and easy to use by healthcare workers dealing with asthma patients. To facilitate achieving the goals of asthma management, the SINA Panel approach is mainly based on the assessment of symptom control and risk for both adults and children. The approach to asthma management is aligned for age groups: adults, adolescents, children aged 5-12 years, and children aged <5 years. SINA guidelines have focused more on personalized approaches reflecting a better understanding of disease heterogeneity with the integration of recommendations related to biologic agents, evidence-based updates on treatment, and the role of immunotherapy in management. The medication appendix has also been updated with the addition of recent evidence, new indications for existing medication, and new medications. The guidelines are constructed based on the available evidence, local literature, and the current situation at national and regional levels. There is also an emphasis on patient-doctor partnership in the management that also includes a self-management plan.

Abstract
Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition in pregnancy. Asthma exacerbations in pregnancy are unpredictable, and are associated with adverse maternal and fetal perinatal outcomes such as preterm birth and low birthweight. Goals of asthma management in pregnancy are to establish effective asthma control and prevent exacerbations. Optimising the management of asthma in pregnancy is an important goal of practice and future research.Treatable traits is a precision medicine paradigm proposed for the management of airways diseases, which holistically addresses the complexity and heterogeneity of airways disease. It is an individualised treatment approach that aims to improve outcomes. This makes treatable traits well suited for pregnant women with asthma, who have a high prevalence of obesity, mental health conditions, poor symptom perception and suboptimal asthma management skills including low treatment adherence. These traits are measurable and treatable. In this review, we explore current knowledge on the burden of asthma, maternal and perinatal consequences of asthma during pregnancy, the treatable traits paradigm, the prevalence of treatable traits in pregnant women with asthma, and consider how the treatable traits paradigm can be integrated into the management of asthma in pregnancy.

FRONTIERS IN ALLERGY 2023; 4:1145809. [PMID: 38026126 PMCID: PMC10667677 DOI: 10.3389/falgy.2023.1145809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Although there are many case reports of asthma exacerbations with intravenous corticosteroids, especially hydrocortisone succinate, in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD), the frequency and mechanism remain unclear. We hypothesized that N-ERD patients are potentially hypersensitive to succinates, especially succinate corticosteroids, based on the results of previous provocation studies and considered specific mechanisms. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and mechanism of succinate corticosteroids hypersensitivity in patients with N-ERD. Eleven patients with stable, moderate to severe N-ERD were tested with hydrocortisone sodium succinate (HCs), hydrocortisone sodium phosphate (HCp), methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSLs), prednisolone sodium succinate (PSLs), and chloramphenicol sodium succinate (CPs, without a steroidal chemical structure) at doses below the normal dose through intravenous administration using a single-blind test. As a comparison, seven patients with aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA) also underwent an intravenous provocation test of HCs. The positive intravenous provocation test rates of HCs 100-500 mg, HCp 500 mg, MPSLs 80 mg, PSLs 20 mg, and CPs 500 mg in N-ERD patients were 82% (9/11), 9% (1/11), 50% (5/10), 33% (1/3), and 86% (6/7), respectively. Most positive reactions began with a severe cough within 5 min of intravenous injection. The course of these hypersensitivity symptoms differed from those seen with the usual aspirin challenge test. The HCs 100-500 mg intravenous test was negative in all seven patients with ATA. In conclusion, patients with N-ERD have high rates of potential hypersensitivity to the succinate ester structure, which is not linked to the corticosteroid structure, but to the succinate ester structure. We hypothesized that the mechanism of hypersensitivity observed during rapid intravenous administration of succinate corticosteroids is mast cell activation via succinate receptor stimulation, rather than due to the corticosteroid itself.

Lower serum 15-HETE level predicts nasal ILC2 accumulation during COX-1 inhibition in AERD. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2023; 152:1330-1335.e1. [PMID: 37543185 PMCID: PMC10938261 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2023.06.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is associated with high levels of cysteinyl leukotrienes, prostaglandin D2, and low levels of prostaglandin E2. Further, 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) levels may have predictive value in therapeutic outcomes of aspirin desensitization. Accumulation of nasal group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) has been demonstrated during COX-1 inhibition in AERD, although the relationships between tissue ILC2 accumulation, reaction symptom severity, and novel lipid biomarkers are unknown. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether novel lipid mediators are predictive of nasal ILC2 accumulation and symptom scores during COX-1 inhibitor challenge in patients with AERD. METHODS Blood and nasal scraping samples from patients with AERD were collected at baseline and COX-1 inhibitor reaction and then processed for flow cytometry for nasal ILC2s and serum for lipidomic analysis. RESULTS Eight patients with AERD who were undergoing aspirin desensitization were recruited. Of the 161 eicosanoids tested, 42 serum mediators were detected. Baseline levels of 15-HETE were negatively correlated with the change in numbers of airway ILC2s (r = -0.6667; P = .0428). Docosahexaenoic acid epoxygenase metabolite 19,20-dihydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z-docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-diHDPA) was positively correlated with both changes in airway ILC2s (r = 0.7143; P = .0305) and clinical symptom scores (r = 0.5000; P = .0081). CONCLUSION Low levels of baseline 15-HETE predicted a greater accumulation of airway ILC2s in patients with AERD who were receiving COX-1 inhibition. Further, increases in the cytochrome P pathway metabolite 19,20-dihydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z-docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-diHDPA) were associated with increased symptoms and nasal ILC2 accumulation. Future studies to assess how these mediators might control ILC2s may improve the understanding of AERD pathogenesis.

THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. GLOBAL 2023; 2:100158. [PMID: 37781671 PMCID: PMC10509838 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacig.2023.100158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Background Current aspirin desensitization protocols for aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) require from 1 to 3 days to complete. Objective Our aim was to assess the implementation of a 1-day versus 2-day aspirin desensitization protocol in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. Methods We used a preintervention-postintervention quality improvement design to compare the completion rates, reaction rates, and estimated costs of a 2-day versus 1-day aspirin desensitization. The cost for each desensitization was estimated on the basis of 2017-2020 US Medicare standards. We included the predesensitization variables for FEV1 value, urinary leukotriene E4 level, absolute eosinophil count (AEC), and total IgE level for each group. Results A total of 15 patients underwent a 2-day aspirin desensitization in the 4-year (2017-2020) preintervention period and were compared with 8 patients who underwent a 1-day aspirin desensitization in the 1-year (2021) postintervention period. The desensitization completion rate (93% vs 100% [P = 1]) and the mean number of reactions requiring intervention during the desensitization protocols (0.26 vs 0.8 [P = .14]) were similar between groups. The average time frame between last polypectomy and desensitization was longer in the 2-day group (1946 vs 39.2 days [P = .03]). The mean values for FEV1 level, urinary leukotriene E4 level, absolute eosinophil count, and total IgE level were 76% vs 83% (P = .6), 1084 vs 385 pg/mg (P = .2), 686 vs 306 cells/μL (P = .74), and 735 vs 278 kU/L (P = .5), respectively. The estimated direct cost reduction was $762 per aspirin desensitization for using 1-day vs 2-day aspirin desensitization. Conclusion Compared with a 2-day protocol, the implementation of a 1-day aspirin desensitization was characterized by similar completion and reaction rates as well as lower costs.

Abstract
The exponential growth of precision diagnostic tools, including omic technologies, molecular diagnostics, sophisticated genetic and epigenetic editing, imaging and nano-technologies and patient access to extensive health care, has resulted in vast amounts of unbiased data enabling in-depth disease characterization. New disease endotypes have been identified for various allergic diseases and triggered the gradual transition from a disease description focused on symptoms to identifying biomarkers and intricate pathogenetic and metabolic pathways. Consequently, the current disease taxonomy has to be revised for better categorization. This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Position Paper responds to this challenge and provides a modern nomenclature for allergic diseases, which respects the earlier classifications back to the early 20th century. Hypersensitivity reactions originally described by Gell and Coombs have been extended into nine different types comprising antibody- (I-III), cell-mediated (IVa-c), tissue-driven mechanisms (V-VI) and direct response to chemicals (VII). Types I-III are linked to classical and newly described clinical conditions. Type IVa-c are specified and detailed according to the current understanding of T1, T2 and T3 responses. Types V-VI involve epithelial barrier defects and metabolic-induced immune dysregulation, while direct cellular and inflammatory responses to chemicals are covered in type VII. It is notable that several combinations of mixed types may appear in the clinical setting. The clinical relevance of the current approach for allergy practice will be conferred in another article that will follow this year, aiming at showing the relevance in clinical practice where various endotypes can overlap and evolve over the lifetime.

Abstract
The Spanish Guideline on the Management of Asthma, better known by its acronym in Spanish GEMA, has been available for more than 20 years. Twenty-one scientific societies or related groups both from Spain and internationally have participated in the preparation and development of the updated edition of GEMA, which in fact has been currently positioned as the reference guide on asthma in the Spanish language worldwide. Its objective is to prevent and improve the clinical situation of people with asthma by increasing the knowledge of healthcare professionals involved in their care. Its purpose is to convert scientific evidence into simple and easy-to-follow practical recommendations. Therefore, it is not a monograph that brings together all the scientific knowledge about the disease, but rather a brief document with the essentials, designed to be applied quickly in routine clinical practice. The guidelines are necessarily multidisciplinary, developed to be useful and an indispensable tool for physicians of different specialties, as well as nurses and pharmacists. Probably the most outstanding aspects of the guide are the recommendations to: establish the diagnosis of asthma using a sequential algorithm based on objective diagnostic tests; the follow-up of patients, preferably based on the strategy of achieving and maintaining control of the disease; treatment according to the level of severity of asthma, using six steps from least to greatest need of pharmaceutical drugs, and the treatment algorithm for the indication of biologics in patients with severe uncontrolled asthma based on phenotypes. And now, in addition to that, there is a novelty for easy use and follow-up through a computer application based on the chatbot-type conversational artificial intelligence (ia-GEMA).

[PMID: 37700875 PMCID: PMC10493108 DOI: 10.2147/jaa.s418802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To describe the lung function and clinical control of asthma in patients with N-ERD during three years of medical follow-up using GINA guidelines. Methods We evaluated 75 N-ERD and 68 asthma patients (AG). Clinical control, lung function, and asthma treatment were evaluated according to GINA-2014. We compared all variables at baseline and one, two, and three years after treatment. Results At baseline, the N-ERD group had better basal lung function (LF) than the AG group (p<0.01), and the AG group used higher doses of inhaled corticosteroids than the N-ERD group (52.4% vs 30.5%, p=0.01) and short-term oral corticosteroid (OCS) use (52.4% vs 30.5%, p<0.01). Instead, N-ERD patients needed more use of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) (29.3% vs 5.9%, p<0.01). This group had better clinical control than the AG group (62.1% vs 34.1%, p<0.01). During the medical follow-up, the LF of the N-ERD group remained at normal values; however, these parameters improved in AG from one year (p<0.01). Likewise, there was a diminished use of high doses of ICS (52.4% vs 33%, p<0.05) and short-term OCS (67.6% vs 20.6%, p<0.01) in asthma patients. However, N-ERD patients still needed more use of LTRAs (p<0.02) during the study. In this context, one-third of N-ERD patients had to use a combination of two drugs to maintain this control. From the second year on, clinical control of asthma was similar in both groups (p>0.05). Conclusion According to GINA guidelines, only one-third of patients with N-ERD can gradually achieve adequate lung function and good asthma control with a high ICS dosage. Only a very small portion of patients will require the continued use of a second medication as an LTRA to keep their asthma under control.

Abstract
Kounis syndrome is angina or acute coronary syndrome caused by mast cell degranulation and inflammatory cell activation. We present a case of a patient with underlying aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) and previous anaphylaxis to aspirin. The patient underwent aspirin desensitization and was then treated with high-dose aspirin. Unfortunately, he developed recurrent angina and myocardial infarction (MI). Numerous left heart catheterizations revealed vasospasms as the etiology of his MIs; however, therapy with increasing doses of vasodilators yielded no improvement in the patient's condition. Ultimately the patient's aspirin was discontinued and he had no recurrence of angina or MI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), eosinophilic asthma, and respiratory reactions to cyclooxygenase inhibitors. The management of AERD has evolved recently with the availability of respiratory biologics for treatment of severe asthma and CRSwNP. The objective of this review is to provide an update on the management of AERD in the era of respiratory biologic therapy. DATA SOURCES A literature review of pathogenesis and treatment of AERD, with a specific focus on biologic therapies in AERD, was performed through publications gathered from PubMed. STUDY SELECTIONS Original research, randomized controlled trials, retrospective studies, meta-analyses, and case series of high relevance are selected and reviewed. RESULTS Aspirin therapy after desensitization (ATAD) and respiratory biologic therapies targeting interleukin (IL)-4Rα, IL-5, IL-5Rα, and immunoglobulin E, all have some efficacy in the treatment of CRSwNP and asthma in patients with AERD. There are currently no head-to-head studies comparing ATAD vs respiratory biologic therapy, or specific respiratory biologics, for asthma and CRSwNP in patients with AERD. CONCLUSION Advances in our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the chronic respiratory inflammation in asthma and CRSwNP have led to the identification of several potential therapeutic targets for these diseases that can be used in patients with AERD. Further study of the use of ATAD and biologic therapy, independently and together, will help to inform future treatment algorithms for patients with AERD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a phenotype of severe asthma, but its disease course has not been well documented compared with that of aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes between AERD and ATA. METHODS AERD patients were identified by the diagnostic code and positive bronchoprovocation test in a real-world database. Longitudinal changes in lung function, blood eosinophil/neutrophil counts, and annual numbers of severe asthma exacerbations (AEx) were compared between the AERD and the ATA groups. Within a year after baseline, two or more severe AEx events indicated severe AERD, whereas less than two AEx events indicated nonsevere AERD. RESULTS Among asthmatics, 353 had AERD in which 166 and 187 patients had severe and nonsevere AERD, respectively, and 717 had ATA. AERD patients had significantly lower FEV1%, higher blood neutrophil counts, and higher sputum eosinophils (%) (all p < .05) as well as higher levels of urinary LTE4 and serum periostin, and lower levels of serum myeloperoxidase and surfactant protein D (all p < .01) than those with ATA. In a 10-year follow-up, the severe AERD group maintained lower FEV1% with more severe AEs than the nonsevere AERD group. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE We demonstrated that AERD patients presented poorer long-term clinical outcomes than ATA patients in real-world data analyses.

Abstract
The management of asthma has fundamentally changed during the past decades. The present guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma was developed for respiratory specialists who need detailed and evidence-based information on the new diagnostic and therapeutic options in asthma. The guideline shows the new role of biomarkers, especially blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled NO (FeNO), in diagnostic algorithms of asthma. Of note, this guideline is the first worldwide to announce symptom prevention and asthma remission as the ultimate goals of asthma treatment, which can be achieved by using individually tailored, disease-modifying anti-asthmatic drugs such as inhaled steroids, allergen immunotherapy or biologics. In addition, the central role of the treatment of comorbidities is emphasized. Finally, the document addresses several challenges in asthma management, including asthma treatment during pregnancy, treatment of severe asthma or the diagnosis and treatment of work-related asthma.

Omalizumab ameliorates extrarespiratory symptoms in patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2023; 151:1667-1672.e2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Omalizumab, an anti-IgE antibody, has clinical efficacy against respiratory symptoms of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). However, some patients with AERD also present with extrarespiratory (chest, gastrointestinal, and/or cutaneous) symptoms, which are resistant to conventional treatment but can be alleviated by systemic corticosteroids. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy of omalizumab on extrarespiratory symptoms related to AERD. METHODS In study 1, a total of 27 consecutive patients with AERD initially prescribed omalizumab at Sagamihara National Hospital between July 2009 and March 2019 were retrospectively studied. Frequency of exacerbations of AERD-related extrarespiratory symptoms was compared before and after omalizumab treatment. In study 2, we reported 3 AERD cases with aspirin challenge-induced extrarespiratory symptoms among patients studied in our previous randomized trial (registration UMIN000018777), which evaluated the effects of omalizumab on hypersensitivity reactions during aspirin challenge to AERD patients. Extrarespiratory symptoms induced during the aspirin challenge were compared between placebo and omalizumab phases. RESULTS In study 1, omalizumab treatment was associated with decrease in frequency of exacerbation of chest pain (no. [%] of patients with exacerbation frequency ≥1 time per year, 6 [22.2%] vs 0; P < .001), gastrointestinal symptoms (9 [33.3%] vs 2 [7.4%]; P = .016), and cutaneous symptoms (16 [59.3%] vs 2 [7.4%]; P < .001), even under conditions of treatment-related reduction in systemic corticosteroid dose. Omalizumab also attenuated all the extrarespiratory symptoms during aspirin challenge in study 2. CONCLUSION Omalizumab ameliorated extrarespiratory symptoms at baseline (without aspirin exposure) and during aspirin challenge.

Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is characterized by eosinophilic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and intolerance to cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors. Interest is emerging in studying the role of circulating inflammatory cells in CRSwNP pathogenesis and its course, as well as their potential use for a patient-tailored approach. By releasing IL-4, basophils play a crucial role in activating the Th2-mediated response. The main aim of this study was to, first, investigate the level of the pre-operative blood basophils' values, blood basophil/lymphocyte ratio (bBLR) and blood eosinophil-to-basophil ratio (bEBR) as predictors of recurrent polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in AERD patients. The secondary aim was to compare the blood basophil-related variables of the AERD series (study group) with those of a control group of 95 consecutive cases of histologically non-eosinophilic CRSwNP. The AERD group showed a higher recurrence rate than the control group (p < 0.0001). The pre-operative blood basophil count and pre-operative bEBR were higher in AERD patients than in the control group (p = 0.0364 and p = 0.0006, respectively). The results of this study support the hypothesis that polyps removal may contribute to reducing the inflammation and activation of basophils.

Abstract
The prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions to drugs is increasing. Currently, this affects more than 7% of the world population. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and beta-lactam antibiotics (BLA) are by far the most common pharmaceutical preparations involved in hypersensitivity reactions to drugs. Misdiagnoses are frequent and BLA allergies present a danger that can lead to adverse health outcomes. Therefore, delabeling (exclusion of a suspected diagnosis) is paramount for those affected. Following the occurrence of uncomplicated maculopapular exanthemas, outpatient oral drug provocation can be safely considered in children without prior skin tests. Immediate perioperative reactions are rare. The approach to studying these complex reactions requires collaboration between allergologists and anesthesiologists to provide the best possible care for these patients.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by nasal polyposis, asthma, and intolerance to aspirin/NSAID. It affects approximately 15% cases of severe asthma, 10% of nasal polyps and 9% of rhinosinusitis. N-ERD results in associated asthma exacerbations, oral corticosteroids bursts, corticosteroid-dependent disease, and multiple endoscopic sinus surgeries. Unknown influences cause polyp epithelium to release alarmins, such as IL-33 and TSLP. These cytokines activate lymphoid cells, both Th2 and ILC2, to release cytokines such as IL5, IL4 and IL13, resulting in complex type 2 inflammation involving mast cells, eosinophils and platelets. Arachidonic acid released from such cells is metabolized into mediators. N-ERD is characterized by an imbalance in eicosanoid levels, especially CysLTs, PDG and PGE2. Patients with N-ERD present nasal symptoms (congestion, hyposmia/anosmia, nasal discharge) and lower airways symptoms (cough, sneezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness), anosmia, severe hyposmia as well as severe asthma which impacts the quality of life in this disease and leads to safety concerns in patients daily lives. Despite the variety of treatment strategies, the likelihood of recurrence of symptoms is high in patients with N-ERD. The most important strategies for treating N-ERD are listed as following: drug therapies, aspirin desensitization, monoclonal antibodies and other therapies associated. N-ERD treatment remains a major challenge in the current situation. Selecting the appropriate patient for aspirin desensitization, monoclonal antibodies or both is essential. This review provides an overview on aspirin desensitization and biologics in N-ERD and might help in decision making from both the perspective of the physician and patient. Patient characteristics, safety, efficacy, health care costs, but also patient preferences are all factors to take into account when it comes to a choice between biologics or aspirin desensitization.

Abstract
Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a condition caused by increased bronchoconstriction in people with asthma after taking aspirin or another NSAID. Molecular analysis of the human genome has opened up new perspectives on human polymorphisms and disease. This study was conducted to identify the genetic factors that influence this disease due to its unknown genetic factors. We evaluated research studies, letters, comments, editorials, eBooks, and reviews. PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Sciences, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were searched for information. We used the keywords polymorphisms, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, asthma, allergy as search terms. This study included 38 studies. AERD complications were associated with polymorphisms in ALOX15, EP2, ADRB2, SLC6A12, CCR3, CRTH2, CysLTs, DPCR1, DPP10, FPR2, HSP70, IL8, IL1B, IL5RA, IL-13, IL17RA, ILVBL, TBXA2R, TLR3, HLA-DRB and HLA-DQ, HLA-DR7, HLA-DP. AERD was associated with heterogeneity in gene polymorphisms, making it difficult to pinpoint specific gene changes. Therefore, diagnosing and treating AERD may be facilitated by examining common variants involving the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) is characterized by exacerbation of respiratory symptoms after NSAID intake. While research for specific treatment options continues in patients who cannot tolerate or are unresponsive to aspirin treatment after aspirin desensitization (ATAD), biologicals have emerged as a new therapeutic option in NERD patients. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life, and the sinonasal and respiratory outcomes of NERD patients treated with ATAD or biologicals. METHODS Patients who have been followed up at a tertiary care allergy center and who have been receiving at least one of ATAD, mepolizumab or omalizumab for at least six months were included. Evaluations were made using sinonasal outcome test (SNOT-22), asthma control test (ACT), short form-36 (SF-36), blood eosinophil counts, need for recurrent functional endoscopic sinus surgeries (FESS), and asthma or rhinitis exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroids (OCS). RESULTS A total of 59 patients comprised of 35 (59%) females and 24 (41%) males with a mean age of 46.1 (min-max, 20-70) years were included. The baseline blood eosinophil count was higher, and a significant decrease in blood eosinophil counts was observed in the mepolizumab group compared to ATAD group (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). At follow-up, the rate of recurrent FESS was lower in the group that received mepolizumab (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS In NERD patients, mepolizumab significantly decreased blood eosinophil counts and recurrent FESS. There was no significant difference between the patients receiving ATAD or mepolizumab regarding other clinical parameters.

Abstract
Background The cellular inflammatory pattern of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug–exacerbated respiratory disease (N‐ERD) is heterogeneous. However, data on the heterogeneity of non‐eosinophilic asthma (NEA) with aspirin hypersensitivity are scanty. By examination of N‐ERD patients based on clinical data and eicosanoid biomarkers we aimed to identify NEA endotypes potentially guiding clinical management. Methods Induced sputum was collected from patients with N‐ERD. Sixty six patients (49.6% of 133 N‐ERD) with NEA were included in the hierarchical cluster analysis based on clinical and laboratory data. The quality of clustering was evaluated using internal cluster validation with different indices and a practical decision tree was proposed to simplify stratification of patients. Results The most frequent NEA pattern was paucigranulocytic (PGA; 75.8%), remaining was neutrophilic asthma (NA; 24.2%). Four clusters were identified. Cluster #3 included the highest number of NEA patients (37.9%) with severe asthma and PGA pattern (96.0%). Cluster #1 (24.2%) included severe only asthma, with a higher prevalence of NA (50%). Cluster #2 (25.8%) comprised well‐controlled mild or severe asthma (PGA; 76.5%). Cluster #4 contained only 12.1% patients with well‐controlled moderate asthma (PGA; 62.5%). Sputum prostaglandin D2 levels distinguished cluster #1 from the remaining clusters with an area under the curve of 0.94. Conclusions Among identified four NEA subtypes, clusters #3 and #1 represented N‐ERD patients with severe asthma but a different inflammatory signatures. All the clusters were discriminated by sputum PGD2 levels, asthma severity, and age of patients. The heterogeneity of non‐eosinophilic N‐ERD suggests a need for novel targeted interventions.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogenous group of inflammatory conditions impacting the nose and paranasal sinuses. Our understanding of the underlying pathobiology of CRSwNP has substantially improved due to ongoing translational research efforts. Advances in treatment options, including targeted respiratory biologic therapy for CRSwNP, allow for more personalized approaches for CRSwNP patient care. Patients with CRSwNP are typically classified to one or more endotype based on the presence of type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation. This review will discuss recent advances in our understanding of CRSwNP and how this may impact current and future treatment approaches for patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a critical role in asthma pathogenesis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) is associated with reduced signaling via EP2, a receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ). However, the respective roles for the PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4 (both share same downstream signaling) in the regulation of lung ILC2 responses has yet been deciphered. METHODS The roles of PGE2 receptors EP2 and EP4 on ILC2-mediated lung inflammation were investigated using genetically modified mouse lines and pharmacological approaches in IL-33-induced lung allergy model. The effects of PGE2 receptors and downstream signals on ILC2 metabolic activation and effector function were examined using in vitro cell cultures. RESULTS Deficiency of EP2 rather than EP4 augments IL-33-induced mouse lung ILC2 responses and eosinophilic inflammation in vivo. In contrast, exogenous agonism of EP4 and EP2 or inhibition of phosphodiesterase markedly restricts IL-33-induced lung ILC2 responses. Mechanistically, PGE2 directly suppresses IL-33-dependent ILC2 activation through the EP2/EP4-cAMP pathway, which downregulates STAT5 and MYC pathway gene expression and ILC2 energy metabolism. Blocking glycolysis diminishes IL-33-dependent ILC2 responses in mice where endogenous PG synthesis or EP2 signaling is blocked but not in mice with intact PGE2 -EP2 signaling. CONCLUSION We have defined a mechanism for optimal suppression of mouse lung ILC2 responses by endogenous PGE2 -EP2 signaling which underpins the clinical findings of defective EP2 signaling in patients with NERD. Our findings also indicate that exogenously targeting the PGE2 -EP4-cAMP and energy metabolic pathways may provide novel opportunities for treating the ILC2-initiated lung inflammation in asthma and NERD.

Real-Life Effectiveness of Mepolizumab in Refractory Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020485. [PMID: 36831021 PMCID: PMC9952964 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11020485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mepolizumab in patients affected by chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in real-life. A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted on severe CRSwNP patients treated with mepolizumab. Nasal endoscopic polyp score (NPS), visual analogue scale (VAS) symptom score, sinonasal outcome test (SNOT-22), asthma control test (ACT) score, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), eosinophils blood cells and prednisone intake were assessed at baseline and after 6 months. A total of 55 patients were included; 49 patients (89%) presented with asthma; aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) in 28 patients (51%). A statistically significant decrease in the SNOT-22 score was observed (median difference -63; 95% CI: -68; -58; p < 0.001) with median t0 76 and IQR (61;90) to t6 10 (5;15). A reduction in NPS, median t0 NPS 4; (IQR:4;6), median t6 NPS 1; (IQR:0;1) p < 0.001, was greater in patients with AERD. The median baseline VAS score was 6 (IQR:6;7) and the differences between t0 and t6 were statistically significant p < 0.001. Significant changes in blood eosinophils cells, median t0 500 cell/mcl (IQR:340;830), median t6 97 cell/mcl (IQR:60;160) p < 0.001, were greater in patients with AERD. Mepolizumab treatment effects have been demonstrated with significantly reduced symptoms, polyp scores, blood eosinophils and systemic corticosteroid use, resulting in an increased health-related quality of life in patients with severe CRSwNP, regardless of the presence or absence of asthma or AERD.

Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is associated with overproduction of proinflammatory cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), defective generation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and reduced expression of the EP2 receptor for PGE2. Reduced PGE2 synthesis results from the downregulation of inducible COX-2. Because PGE2 signaling via EP2 inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase/leukotriene C4 synthase-dependent pathway, the deficient levels of both PGE2 and EP2 likely contribute to the excessive baseline production of cysteinyl leukotrienes in patients with AERD compared with in patients with aspirin-tolerant asthma. The COX-2 pathway is regulated by an autocrine metabolic loop involving IL-1β, IL-1 receptor type I, EP2, COX-2, membrane-bound PGE2 prostaglandin E2 synthase-1, and PGE2. Previous studies reported that this metabolic loop is dysregulated in patients with AERD. When the downexpressed EP2 receptor is normalized, the entire loop returns to its normal function. Cotreatment of airway cells from healthy subjects with IL-4 and IFN-γ induces alterations in the metabolic loop similar to those seen in patients with AERD. In these patients, IL-4, which is produced in excess in airways of patients with AERD, likely contributes to the alteration of normal functioning of the autocrine metabolic loop involving IL-1β, IL-1 receptor type I, EP2, COX-2, membrane-bound PGE2 prostaglandin E2 synthase-1, and PGE2. We hypothesized that by blocking IL-4 action, dupilumab normalizes EP2 expression and restores the normal functioning of the COX-2 pathway autocrine metabolic loop, thereby normalizing the synthesis of PGE2 and restoring aspirin tolerance.

Abstract
Despite being a relatively new addition to the Omics' landscape, lipidomics is increasingly being recognized as an important tool for the identification of druggable targets and biochemical markers. In this review we present recent advances of lipid analysis in drug discovery and development. We cover current state of the art technologies which are constantly evolving to meet demands in terms of sensitivity and selectivity. A careful selection of important examples is then provided, illustrating the versatility of lipidomics analysis in the drug discovery and development process. Integration of lipidomics with other omics', stem-cell technologies, and metabolic flux analysis will open new avenues for deciphering pathophysiological mechanisms and the discovery of novel targets and biomarkers.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of medications that are routinely been used across the world. Their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects have all been well-documented. Moreover, they are been deliberated to have a protective role against various critical diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, the data presented by numerous studies in past have signified the adverse effects of NSAIDs due to overdosing on various systems such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, neural, etc. Despite substantial studies representing the mechanism behind the clinical risk of NSAIDs, there are very few reviews that have collated comprehensive records of various toxicities caused by overdosing on NSAIDs. As a result, we have presented a comprehensive overview of existing information on NSAIDs in this review. In addition to that, we have concentrated on presenting our understanding of various organ-based toxicities caused due to NSAID's prolonged use/overdosage.

Abstract
Background Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is characterized by the Samter triad: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, asthma, and nonallergic hypersensitivity to NSAIDs. Its diagnosis is based on a complete clinical history and an aspirin (ASA) challenge test. Medical treatments include biological drugs and ASA desensitization. Objective This study aims to evaluate the clinical response of patients with N-ERD undergoing functional endoscopic surgery (FES), followed by ASA desensitization and maintenance treatment, being the first prospective cohort study carried out in Chile. Methods We conducted 1-year follow-up of 12 patients with N-ERD treated with FES, desensitization, and maintenance with ASA. For each control, the medication score, sinonasal symptomatology (SNOT-22), PEF (peak expiratory flow), nasal polyposis (Lildholdt score), and the appearance of adverse effects were recorded. Computed tomography (CT) of the paranasal cavities was performed at baseline and at the 12-month follow-up to calculate the Lund-Mackay score. Results Patients presented a reduction of SNOT-22 after the FES, which was maintained at 12 months (p = 0.002); the symptoms that showed the greatest reduction were feeling embarrassed and nasal obstruction. The Lildholdt score was also significantly reduced (p = 0.001); in only three patients, the nasal polyps recurred, and all were small. The PEF showed a slight nonsignificant increase of 3.3%. In total, 75% of patients had an adverse effect, the most frequent being abdominal pain (66.7%), but none of the 12 patients required discontinuation of aspirin treatment in 1-year follow-up. The Lund-Mackay score had a significant reduction of 6.6 points (p < 0.001). Conclusion ASA desensitization is safe and effective in reducing upper and lower respiratory symptoms in patients with N-ERD and delays the reappearance of nasal polyps, although it is not exempt from adverse effects, with the vast majority being mild.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD) is characterized by nasal polyp formation, adult-onset asthma, and hypersensitivity to all cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitors. Oxygenated lipids are collectively known as oxylipins and are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) oxidation products. The most extensively researched oxylipins being the eicosanoids formed from arachidonic acid (AA). There are four major classes of eicosanoids including leukotrienes, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and lipoxins. In N-ERD, the underlying inflammatory process of the upper and lower respiratory systems begins and occurs independently of NSAID consumption and is due to the overproduction of cysteinyl leukotrienes. Leukotriene mediators all induce edema, bronchoconstriction, and airway mucous secretion. Thromboxane A2 is a potent bronchoconstrictor and induces endothelial adhesion molecule expression. Elevated Prostaglandin D2 metabolites lead to vasoconstriction, additionally impaired up-regulation of prostaglandin E2 leads to symptoms seen in N-ERD as it is essential for maintaining homeostasis of inflammatory responses in the airway and has bronchoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. A characteristic feature of N-ERD is diminished lipoxin levels, this decreased capacity to form endogenous mediators with anti-inflammatory properties could facilitate local inflammatory response and expose bronchial smooth muscle to relatively unopposed actions of broncho-constricting substances. Treatment options, such as leukotriene modifying agents, aspirin desensitization, biologic agents and ESS, appear to influence eicosanoid pathways, however more studies need to be done to further understand the role of oxylipins. Besides AA-derived eicosanoids, other oxylipins may also pay a role but have not been sufficiently studied. Identifying pathogenic N-ERD mechanism is likely to define more effective treatment targets.

[PMID: 36895864 PMCID: PMC9989256 DOI: 10.3389/falgy.2023.1052386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and asthma frequently co-exist and share pathologic features. Taking a "global" treatment approach benefits diagnosis and treatment of both, but care is often siloed by specialty: joined-up clinics are uncommon. Our objectives were to explore expert opinion to give practical suggestions to identify adults needing global airways care; enhance cross-specialty working; and widen knowledge to support diagnosis and management, integrate with existing care pathways, and supplement existing guidelines. Methods Sixteen practicing physicians from northern Europe were invited for their national and/or international standing in treating asthma and/or chronic rhinosinusitis. Appreciative Inquiry techniques were used to guide their discussions. Results Key themes arising were screening and referral, collaboration on management, awareness and education, and research. Provided are screening criteria and suggestions for specialist referrals, and pointers for physicians to optimize their knowledge of global airways disease. Collaborative working is underscored, and practical suggestions are given for multidisciplinary teamworking within global airways clinics. Research gaps are identified. Conclusion This initiative provides practical suggestions for optimizing the care of adults with CRSwNP and asthma. Discussion of the role of allergy and drug exacerbations on these conditions, and care for patients with other global airways diseases were beyond scope; however, we expect some principles of our discussion will likely benefit patients with related conditions. The suggestions bridge asthma and CRSwNP management guidelines, envisioning interdisciplinary, global airway clinics relevant to various clinical settings. They highlight the value of joint screening for early recognition and referral of patients.

Abstract
Over the last decade there have been key advances in understanding mechanisms, risk, and consequences of both true immunological drug hypersensitivity and unverified drug allergy labels that have changed clinical practice. This has been facilitated by the widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). The vast majority of EHR drug allergy labels are unverified and cause significant morbidity from unnecessary avoidance of optimal drug therapy. There has also been significant movement in our understanding of mechanisms of drug hypersensitivity that, in addition to advancing our understanding of the pathogenesis of immediate and delayed reactions, have guided preventive efforts, diagnostic procedures, and clinical management. More widespread adoption, including scale-up of "allergy" delabeling and appropriate management, specifically for antibiotics, opiates, radiocontrast, chemotherapeutics, biologics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, will be necessary to improve patient outcomes over the next decade. This will require further engagement and collaboration between primary care health care providers, allergists, and other specialists.

Abstract
Background: Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is an inflammatory condition that consists of eosinophilic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and respiratory reactions to cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors. Aspirin therapy after aspirin desensitization (ATAD) is the most extensively studied treatment paradigm for AERD. Objective: The objective was to identify which time point of ATAD was most predictive of long-term outcomes as measured by the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients at a single institution who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery, followed by ATAD, and had remained on ATAD for 2 consecutive years. SNOT-22 scores were recorded at predesensitization as well as at the 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month postdesensitization time points. The patients were separated into two cohorts at each of the data collection time points based on whether their SNOT-22 scores were < 20 (responders) or ≥ 20 (nonresponders). Responder status was compared between each time point and at 24-month postdesensitization. The odds ratios (OR) were then calculated between the two groups at each of the following time points: postsurgery/predesensitization, and 3-, 6-, and 12-month postdesensitization. Results: There were 70 patients who met the inclusion criteria of having 24-month postdesensitization SNOT-22 scores available. Responder status at 6 months after surgery had the most predictive OR 16.5 (95% confidence interval, 3.71-73.44) for long-term outcomes at 24 months. Conclusion: The SNOT-22 scores after 6 months of ATAD showed the greatest predictive value for long-term quality-of-life outcomes and, therefore, poor 6-month SNOT-22 scores could serve as a basis for consideration of alternative therapies.

Abstract
To determine the prevalence of osteoarthritis and its associated factors in populations from Russia. The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS) and the population-based Ural Very Old Study (UVOS) were conducted in a rural and urban region in Bashkortostan/Russia and included participants aged 40+ and 85+ years, respectively. As part of a detailed systematic examination, we assessed the osteoarthritis prevalence in an interview including questions on the self-reported presence of osteoarthritis, the joints affected and osteoarthritis-related pain-relieving therapy taken. Out of 5898 participants of the UEMS, 1636 individuals had osteoarthritis [prevalence: 27.7%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 26.7, 28.7], with 816 individuals (13.8%; 95% CI 12.8, 14.8) taking pain-relieving medication. A higher osteoarthritis prevalence was associated (multivariable analysis) with older age [odds ratio (OR 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03, 1.05], urban region of residence (OR 1.25; 95% CI 1.07, 1.45), higher body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.03, 1.06), lower monthly income (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.68, 0.90), higher physical activity score (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01, 1.03), higher prevalence of a history of cardiovascular disease including stroke (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.33, 1.81), previous bone fractures (OR 1.20; 95% CI 1.04, 1.40) and previous falls (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.03, 1.45), higher hearing loss score (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.01, 1.02), and less alcohol consumption (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.65, 0.93). Out of 1526 UVOS participants, 567 individuals had osteoarthritis (prevalence: 37.2%; 95% CI 35.0, 40.0), with 195 (12.8%; 95% CI 11.3, 14.3) individuals taking pain-relieving medication. Higher osteoarthritis prevalence was associated with rural region of habitation (OR 1.69; 95% CI 1.20, 2.38), lower monthly income (OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.46, 0.84), higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.30, 2.36), and higher anxiety score (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.03, 1.06). Osteoarthritis and use of pain-relieving medication are common in these populations in Russia. Main associated factors were older age and lower monthly income in both study populations, female sex, higher BMI, urban region, and previous falls and bone fractures in the UEMS population, and rural region and a higher anxiety score in the UVOS study population.

Distinct transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles characterize NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema patients undergoing aspirin desensitization. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2022; 150:1486-1497.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited data on the mechanisms of aspirin desensitization in patients with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced urticaria/angioedema (NIUA). OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize the transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of patients with NIUA undergoing aspirin desensitization. METHODS PBMCs and plasma were separated from the blood of patients with NIUA undergoing aspirin desensitization for coronary artery disease and NSAID-tolerant controls. RNA was isolated from PBMCs and subjected to messenger RNA (mRNA)- and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-sequencing. Plasma samples were analyzed using LC-MS/MS for metabolite shifts using a semitargeted metabolomics panel. RESULTS Eleven patients with NIUA and 10 healthy controls were recruited. The mRNA gene profiles of predesensitization versus postdesensitization and healthy control versus postdesensitization did not differ significantly. However, we identified 739 mRNAs and 888 lncRNAs as differentially expressed from preaspirin desensitization patients and controls. A 12-mRNA gene signature was trained using a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between controls, postdose, and predose samples. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified 5 canonical pathways that were significantly enriched in preaspirin desensitization samples. IL-22 was the most upregulated pathway. To investigate the potential regulatory roles of the differentially expressed lncRNA on the mRNAs, 9 lncRNAs and 12 mRNAs showed significantly correlated expression patterns in the IL-22 pathway. To validate the transcriptomics data, IL-22 was measured in the plasma samples of the subjects using ELISA. IL-22 was significantly higher in preaspirin desensitization patients compared with controls. In parallel, metabolomic analysis revealed stark differences in plasma profiles of preaspirin desensitization patients and healthy controls. In particular, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) was significantly lower in preaspirin desensitization patients compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to combine both transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches in patients with NIUA, which contributes to a deeper understanding about the pathogenesis of NIUA and may potentially pave the way toward a molecular diagnosis of NSAID hypersensitivity.

Effect of the Duration of NSAID Use on COVID-19. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58121713. [PMID: 36556916 PMCID: PMC9781801 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58121713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to control pain and fever. However, their effect on COVID-19 infected patients has not been fully studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of the duration of NSAIDs use on COVID-19 infection and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: In South Korea, 25,739 eligible patients who received COVID-19 testing between 1 January and 31 July 2020, were included in this retrospective observational cohort analysis. Based on the date of the first COVID-19 test for each patient, NSAID prescription dates were used to separate patients into two groups (short-term group: <2 weeks; long-term group: 8−12 weeks). COVID-19 infectivity and clinical outcomes were analyzed. We used the propensity score-matching (PSM) method. Results: Of the 580 patients who had taken NSAIDs before the date of COVID-19 test, 534 and 46 patients were grouped in the short- and long-term NSAID-use groups, respectively. We did not find a statistically significant increased risk of COVID-19 infection (adjustment for age and sex, p = 0.413; adjustment for age, sex, region of residence, comorbidity, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and current use of medication, p = 0.259) or change in clinical outcomes, including conventional oxygen therapy, admission of intensive care unit, artificial ventilation, or death, between the two groups in which the PSM method was applied. Conclusions: The duration of NSAIDs use did not have a statistically significant effect on COVID-19 infectivity or clinical outcomes. However, further studies looking at clinical presentation and laboratory test results in a large number of people should be performed.

Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a triad of asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), and adverse respiratory reactions to the ingestion of aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.1 Patients with AERD are frequently plagued with CRSwNP that is difficult to manage with systemic steroids, nasal steroids, and surgical polypectomy, often requiring multiple endoscopic sinus surgeries and frequent otolaryngology follow-up.2,3 There are an abundance of therapies to treat CRSwNP in the setting of AERD, all with varying costs, efficacies, and indications for treatment.4 While limited by side effect profile, aspirin desensitization remains an effective, low-cost treatment for patients with CRSwNP and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sensitivity.5 We describe a case of an active duty U.S. Air Force pilot with AERD whose CRSwNP was successfully treated with aspirin desensitization without detrimental effect on his flying status.

Abstract
As many as 15% to 20% of patients with asthma have incompletely or poorly controlled asthma despite treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilators. They are vulnerable to burdensome symptoms, limitations to their exercise capacity, and asthma attacks that can be frightening and potentially life-threatening. This article outlines a systematic approach to their evaluation, attempting to identify remediable factors that are making their asthma more severe than most other persons with asthma. This approach includes an emphasis on ensuring the correct diagnosis, minimizing exposures to stimuli that worsen airway inflammation, alleviating modifiable comorbidities such as chronic rhinosinusitis and gastroesophageal reflux, and supporting regular medication adherence and effective technique for administering inhaled medications. A basic diagnostic laboratory work-up is recommended, to be modified and amplified according to individual patient needs.
