This update on chronic urticaria (CU) focuses on the prevalence and pathogenesis of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), the expanding spectrum of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing CU disease activity, impact, and control, as well as future treatment options for CU. This update is needed, as several recently reported findings have led to significant advances in these areas. Some of these key discoveries were first presented at past meetings of the Collegium Internationale Allergologicum...

Zusammenfassung In der jüngeren Vergangenheit ist vermehrt Kritik am Einsatz von Glaubhaftigkeitsbegutachtungen in Verfahren zu Sexualdelikten formuliert worden. Ein Tenor dieser Kritik lautet, dass die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Aussagepsychologie für ihren praktischen Einsatz bei einigen relevanten Fragestellungen für Glaubhaftigkeitsbeurteilungen nicht ausreichend seien. Diese nichtfundierte Kritik stellt keine Herausforderung für die Aussagepsychologie dar, wie der vorliegende...

Abstract Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression and activation are the major causes of metastasis in cancers such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the reciprocal effect of EGF‐induced cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) and angiopoietin‐like 4 (ANGPTL4) on HNSCC metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we revealed that the expression of ANGPTL4 is essential for COX‐2‐derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)‐induced tumor cell metastasis. We showed that EGF‐induced ANGPTL4 expression...

Abstract Chemotherapy‐induced alopecia is one of the most difficult adverse events of cancer treatment for patients. However, it is still unknown why anticancer drugs cause hair loss. We aimed to clarify the mechanism of chemotherapy‐induced alopecia in mice using an in vivo imaging technique with a two‐photon microscope, which enables observation of the deep reaction in the living body in real time. In this study, ICR mice were injected intraperitoneally with cyclophosphamide (120 µg/g). Changes...

Abstract Both ceritinib (CER) and PD‐1/PD‐L1 have brought significant breakthrough for ALK‐rearranged non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the overall clinical efficacy of either CER or PD‐1/PD‐L1 inhibitor monotherapy has been limited to a large extent. Besides, the antitumor effect of combined CER with PD‐L1 inhibitor in ALK‐rearranged NSCLC are not fully understood. In H2228 cells, we examined the tumor killing effect of CER plus PD‐L1 inhibitor in vitro by quantitative RT‐PCR, flow...

Abstract Although multiple lifestyle exposures simultaneously impact blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular health, most analysis so far has considered each single lifestyle exposure (e.g., smoking) at a time. Here, we exploit gene–multiple lifestyle exposure interactions to find novel BP loci. For each of 6,254 Framingham Heart Study participants, we computed lifestyle risk score (LRS) value by aggregating the risk of four lifestyle exposures (smoking, alcohol, education, and physical activity)...

Abstract Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is activated by chemicals to transcriptionally regulate drug disposition and possibly decrease drug efficacy and increase resistance, suggesting therapeutic value for PXR antagonists. We previously reported the antagonist SPA70 and its analog SJB7, which unexpectedly is an agonist. Here, we describe another unexpected observation: mutating a single residue (W299A) within the PXR ligand-binding domain converts SPA70 to an agonist. After characterizing...
