Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between chronic rhino-sinusitis (CRS) and systemic symptoms in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). PATIENTS AND METHODS The patients with IgG4-RD, confirmed by restrict association with clinical and histopathological manifestations between March 2013 and July 2016, were enrolled and followed-up for 1 year at the Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. The patients were divided into two groups: the case group included IgG4-RD patients with CRS confirmed by clinical and imaging, while the control group included IgG4-RD patients without CRS confirmed by clinical and imaging. Age, gender, clinical manifestations, the percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood, sedimentation (ESR), C-reaction protein, serum IgE and IgG4 levels, histopathology, and treatment drugs at the baseline and 1 year of follow-up were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 46 cases met the diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD. A total of 30 patients (65.2%) had IgG4-RD complicated with CRS, and were aged 49.7 ± 13.4 years, with male:female ratio = 2:1. The disease duration in the case group was longer than that in the control group (3.0 versus 0.8, p = 0.009). The ratio of ocular involvement was higher (86.7 versus 60%, p < 0.001), and allergic manifestations including drug allergy, asthma, and allergic skin were more common (56.5 versus 20%, p = 0.004), with a higher percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood (8.5 versus 3.3%, p = 0.018) and more sensitive to glucocorticoids (6.0 versus 3.5, p = 0.004) than those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS CRS in patients with IgG4-RD was closely associated with IgG4-related ocular lesions, which was more prone to allergic manifestations accompanied by raised percentage of eosinophils in peripheral blood. The treatment of patients with IgG4-RD complicated with CRS was more effective than those with IgG4-RD without CRS.

Abstract
Background Fruits and vegetables are rich in compounds with proposed antioxidant, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could contribute to reduce the prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases. Objective We investigated the association between asthma, and chronic rhino-sinusitis (CRS) with intake of fruits and vegetables in European adults. Methods A stratified random sample was drawn from the Global Allergy and Asthma Network of Excellence (GA2LEN) screening survey, in which 55,000 adults aged 15–75 answered a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms. Asthma score (derived from self-reported asthma symptoms) and CRS were the outcomes of interest. Dietary intake of 22 subgroups of fruits and vegetables was ascertained using the internationally validated GA2LEN Food Frequency Questionnaire. Adjusted associations were examined with negative binomial and multiple regressions. Simes procedure was used to control for multiple testing. Results A total of 3206 individuals had valid data on asthma and dietary exposures of interest. 22.8% reported having at least 1 asthma symptom (asthma score ≥1), whilst 19.5% had CRS. After adjustment for potential confounders, asthma score was negatively associated with intake of dried fruits (β-coefficient −2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] −4.09, −0.59), whilst CRS was statistically negatively associated with total intake of fruits (OR 0.73; 95% CI 0.55, 0.97). Conversely, a positive association was observed between asthma score and alliums vegetables (adjusted β-coefficient 0.23; 95% CI 0.06, 0.40). None of these associations remained statistically significant after controlling for multiple testing. Conclusion and clinical relevance There was no consistent evidence for an association of asthma or CRS with fruit and vegetable intake in this representative sample of European adults.
