Hypersensitivity to Forcipomyia taiwana (biting midge): clinical analysis and identification of major For t 1, For t 2 and For t 3 allergens

BACKGROUND: Forcipomyia taiwana is a tiny, blood-sucking midge that cause intense pruritis and swelling in sensitive individuals. It is distributed island-wide in rural Taiwan and Southern China. Objective: This study aimed to study the allergic immune responses and identify F. taiwana allergens. METHODS: Crude whole body F. taiwana extracts were prepared with phosphate-buffered saline. The specific IgE antibody was determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay and immunoblotting. Protein was analyzed by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Among the 372 subjects that were exposed to F. taiwana bites, 179 (48%) reported an immediate skin reaction with/without delay reaction and 41(11.1%) reported a solely delay reaction. The skin of 21 subjects was tested with F. taiwana extract. Of these 21 subjects, 12 (57.1%) produced immediate skin reactions and contained high levels of specific IgE antibody against F. taiwana. Immunoblotting revealed that 11 allergenic components are able to bind specific IgE. Allergens of 22, 24, 35, 36, and 64 kDa bound 50, 50, 75, 66.7, and 75% of IgE-containing sera tested, respectively. Tryptic fragments of the 24, 35, 36, and 64 kDa allergens were analyzed by ESI-MS/MS. Selected tryptic peptides of 24, 35, and 36, and 64 kDa allergens exhibited significant sequence identity with triosephosphate isomerase of Anopheles merus,Tenebrio molitor,Ochlerotatus togoi, and Chrysops vittatus, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase of Antheraea yamamai and Homalodisca coagulata, and a slow muscle myosin S1 heavy chain of Homarusamericanus and a protein with unknown function from A. gambiae, respectively. The 35 and 36 kDa proteins may represent different isoforms of the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase. CONCLUSION: We conclude that immediate reaction to F. taiwana bites is IgE mediated and the 24 (For t 1), 35 (For t 2), and 64 kDa (For t 3) proteins are candidates for major F. taiwana allergens. Further studies are needed to confirm these allergens.     

Examination of the Diagnostic Value and Estimation of the Chaos Phenomenon in Temporomandibular Joint Sounds Using Fractal Dimension

.The aim of this study is to estimate the chaos phenomenon in temporomandibular joints (TMJ) sound using fractal dimension (FD), and to examine the diagnostic value of the FD in comparing TMJ sounds produced by 6 asymptomatic and 25 symptomatic TMJ. Multiple mandibular opening and closing cycles recorded were used to calculate the waveform dimension and correlation dimension in the FD. Chaos in the TMJ sounds was estimated by the FD that was saturated with some constant value to an increase of embedding dimension. Results reveal that fractal analysis produces a high degree of reproducibility within, and similarity across subjects, and indicate that both FD values of the asymptomatic TMJ sounds are significantly higher than those of the symptomatic. These findings suggest that chaos is present in TMJ sounds and the difference in the FD is of diagnostic value in evaluation of pathological change in TMJ sound signals.     

Atrial sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve sprouting and hyperinnervation induced by subthreshold electrical stimulation of the left stellate ganglion in normal dogs

BACKGROUND: Subthreshold electrical stimulation of the left stellate ganglion (LSG) can induce nerve sprouting and sympathetic hyperinnervation in canine ventricles. It is unclear whether a similar neural plasticity involving both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation also exists in the atria. METHODS AND RESULTS: We applied subthreshold electrical stimulation at 20 Hz (0.45 ms pulse width) or 5 Hz (1.9 ms pulse width) to the LSG in 6 normal mongrel dogs. After 41+/-9 days, the hearts were harvested and the right and left atrium stained for synaptophysin (SYN), growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43), sympathetic nerve markers tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and parasympathetic marker choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). Tissues from 6 additional healthy dogs were used as controls. The hearts from dogs with LSG electrical stimulation had a higher density of nerve structures immunopositive to the SYN, GAP43, TH, and ChAT (P<.01) in both right and left atria. Nerve density was equal in right and left atria. There were more TH-positive nerve structures than ChAT-positive nerve structures (P<.01) for both right and left atria. No atrial arrhythmia was observed at the second surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous subthreshold electrical stimulation to the LSG induces both sympathetic and parasympathetic hyperinnervation in both right and left atria in normal dogs.
