..Environmental exposure units (EEU) assist in the development of effective therapeutic and preventive measures because outdoor studies are limited by seasonal variation in pollen exposure...

..The interest in anti-allergic immunoregulation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been growing over the last few decades. However, little is known about the effect of habitually intake of fermented milk on allergy development...

..The highest number of pollen found in one week was approximately 450 pollens in a square meter of a living room floor. The study concluded that cleaning is one of the best way to remove Japanese cedar pollens found in indoor dust...

..CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that apple polyphenols are effective in alleviating symptoms of persistent allergic rhinitis...

..No study has reported symptoms and their clinical courses after conjunctival provocation with purified cedar pollen allergen Cry j1 as well as suppression of these allergen-induced ocular symptoms by antihistamine eye drops...

..Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCPsis) affects nearly one in six Japanese. Oral administration of Bifidobacterium longum BB536 has been shown to be effective in relieving JCPsis symptoms during the pollen season...

..2% for cats). Specific dog and cat IgE antibodies increased significantly (p = 0.033 for dog and for p < 0.0001 cat), but no significant correlation was found between the positive specific IgE antibody and history of pet keeping...

..The findings of this epidemiologic study will contribute to basic data on the increasing prevalence of various allergic diseases...

..This study suggests that possession of the IFNA allele with higher levels of IFN-alpha significantly increases the risk of sarcoidosis...

..We have reported that tomato extract (TE) could possibly inhibit histamine release and mouse ear-swelling responses. Moreover, it is reported that TE could relieve the symptoms for Japanese cedar pollinosis...

..These findings indicate that an oral administration of HWE may be effective in alleviating the allergic symptoms related to JCPsis...

..05). These results suggest that faecal microbiota in JCPsis subjects, but not healthy subjects, fluctuate at the end of the pollen season and that BB536 intake plays a role in maintaining normal microbiota...

..We have taken measure against snow, so we concluded that the real-time pollen counter was useful in counting the amount of airborne pollen over time...

..In addition, TNC expression in lung fibroblasts increases with Th2 immune cytokine stimulation. Thus, Leu1677Ile may be valuable marker for evaluating the risk for developing asthma and plays a role in its pathogenesis...

..In patients with early treatment, however, the treatment duration had bigger impact on PROs than the local pollen counts...

..Our results suggested that in individuals with the -111T/T genotype, reduced IL-12Rbeta1 expression may lead to increased Th2 cytokine production in the skin and contribute to the development of AD and other subsequent allergic diseases...
