A prospective study of allergy development in 158 children and 128 adults with new extensive exposure to furred animals

BACKGROUND: There is still controversy over whether exposure to furred animals increases or decreases the risk of developing sensitization and allergic symptoms to such animals, and there is a need for further knowledge on this subject. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to follow allergy development in relation to new extensive exposure to furred animals in adults and children. METHODS: A total of 286 individuals, 128 parents and 158 children, were recruited from 68 families who intended to buy a dog or a cat, or where one child of the family intended to start riding a horse. Subjects were examined before the new allergen exposure and once a year thereafter for 5 years, in all at six occasions, and they also completed questionnaires covering allergy symptoms. Serum IgE antibodies to cat, dog and horse were determined each year, and fur allergens from beds and living rooms were analysed. RESULTS: Two-hundred and fifty-six study subjects remained for evaluation, 37 of whom showed signs of allergic sensitization at the start of the study. Four children (11%) in this pre-sensitized group developed IgE antibodies to their new animal and six (16%) to another animal. Among the 219 participants who were not sensitized when entering the study, one male adult (0.4%) developed a sensitization to his new animal, and nobody developed sensitization to other animals. Pre-sensitized individuals had significantly more allergic symptoms at the study start, but the symptom scores did not change over time. CONCLUSIONS: When the first year of a human's life has passed, we have no strong evidence to recommend avoidance of a domestic animal in order to prevent new allergy development, even if there are known allergies in the family or if the individual is sensitized and has allergic symptoms to another allergen. Five years exposure to new fur allergens does not seem to influence sensitization to these animals in either sensitized or non-sensitized children and adults.     

Laser Doppler flowmetry of blood perfusion in mucoperiosteal flaps covering membranes in bone augmentation and implant procedures. A pilot study in dogs.

In guided tissue regeneration (GTR) procedures, flap recession or sloughing may occur as an unwanted sequel to the placement of a membrane. This study was designed to assess the applicability of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) in the evaluation of blood perfusion in the mucoperiosteal flap covering the membrane. Five Labrador dogs were initially used inthe study, but one animal was later excluded due to post‐operative problems. Maxillary premolar teeth were extracted and full thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were raised. Following removal of the buccal bone plate, 4 titanium implants were placed on each side. An experimental biodegradable polylactic‐acid membrane was placed over the fixtures on one side to allow for GTR. The mucoperiosteal flap was repositioned and secured with sutures. The contralateral side served as control with no membrane. Blood perfusion was measured in the flaps before surgery, immediately after suturing and at 24, 48 and 72 h postoperatively. A laser Doppler flowmeter was used to assess the blood perfusion. In 3 animals the membrane was exposed within 2 weeks post‐operatively, and in these 3 animals the LDF values were lower on the membrane side than on the control side. The mean LDF value was lower on the membrane side for each of the 4 periods studied. The tindings suggest that LDF can be a valuable method to study blood perfusion of oral mucosal flaps and that there may be a relationship between a reduced relative LDF value and subsequent exposure of the membrane to the oral environment.     

Mouse mammary tumor virus and mammary tumorigenesis in wild mice

The current knowledge of the distribution of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) proviral genomes and the mechanism of mammary tumorigenesis by MMTV in mice, with the main emphasis on Asian feral mice, is reviewed. The relevant earlier discoveries on the mode of MMTV transmission are summarized to provide an outline of the biology of MMTV. Finally, the viral etiology of human breast cancer will be discussed.     

Experimental arthritis induced by continuous infusion of IL-8 into rabbit knee joints.

To determine the roles of IL-8 in inflammatory synovitis, examination was made of the results of continuously injecting human recombinant IL-8 into the knee joints of New Zealand while rabbits. Recombinant human IL-8 was infused continuously into the joint cavity at 75 ng/h for 14 days by a polypropylene catheter connected to a mini-osmotic pump implanted in each rabbit. Infiltration of inflammatory cells into joint cavity and histopathological changes in synovial tissue were examined at 7 and 14 days following the start of infusion. The continuous infusion of IL-8 for 14 days led to severe arthritis characterized by apparent erythema and joint pain, the accumulation of leucocytes, infiltration of mononuclear cells in synovial tissue, and marked hypervascularization in the synovial lining layer. IL-8 may be a factor which can contribute to the inflammatory process of chronic arthritis by mediating leucocyte recruitment and hypervascularization in inflamed joints.     

Genetic susceptibility to gluten sensitive enteropathy in Irish setter dogs is not linked to the major histocompatibility complex

Abstract: Gluten sensitive enteropathy (GSE) in Irish setter dogs has been proposed as an animal model for human celiac disease (CD), in which the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II alleles HLA DQAl*0501 and DQBl*0201 play an important role. To investigate whether an orthologous MHC class II region is involved in canine GSE, we undertook a linkage study in two large families of gluten sensitive Irish setter dogs. A total of 44 dogs in these pedigrees were genotyped for DQA1, DQB1 and C.2202 alleles, along with 30 unrelated healthy Irish setters. No genetic linkage between the DQ or C.2002 loci and GSE was detected. In contrast to CD, susceptibility to canine GSE does not appear to be determined by variation within the MHC class II gene cluster. Therefore, canine GSE may not be an appropriate model for CD, but nevertheless remains an important disease for advancing knowledge of pathological processes in the intestine.

Effect of pregnancy on proteoglycan-induced progressive polyarthritis in BALB/c mice: remission of disease activity

Proteoglycan-induced arthritis is a murine autoimmune model displaying many similarities to human rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, as has been documented by clinical, immunological and histopathological studies. Since the onset of arthritis correlates with the serum antibody level to mouse cartilage proteoglycan (PG), it is believed that these autoreactivc antibodies may play crucial roles in the pathological mechanisms of PG-induced arthritis. We have found that fertility in these PG-induced arthritic mice had been reduced but, unlike collagen-induced arthritis, had not been completely lost. Moreover, pregnancy had a beneficial effect upon the clinical symptoms with very little or no influence on scrum antibody levels. Although fertility was retained and arthritic mothers delivered healthy offspring, the birth frequency was significantly less than in non-arthritic age-matched controls. Furthermore, the presence of anti-PG autoantibodies (predominantly IgG1 subclass) transmitted from arthritic mothers to infants transplacentally and by milk during the lactation period did not render these offspring either resistant or more sensitive to subsequent induction of arthritis. Subsequent immunization of infants with ‘arthritogenic’ PG revealed an unaltered susceptibility to arthritis induction.     

New Zealand white rabbits immunized with RNA-complexed total histones develop an autoimmune-like response.

The antibody response of rabbits immunized with a total histone mixture containing randomly coiled H1/H5, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 devoid of DNA was investigated in direct and competitive ELISA. The antisera were tested with isolated histones and chromatin and with a series of overlapping synthetic peptides covering the entire sequences of the four core histones and two peptides of H1. It was found that the New Zealand (NZ) white rabbits immunized with the total histone (TH) mixture complexed with RNA produced IgG antibodies reacting with histones and with a number of histone peptides but not with chromatin. The antisera also contained IgG antibodies which bound components that correspond to common target antigens in autoimmune diseases such as native dsDNA, peptides of Sm-D antigen, ubiquitin, branched peptides of ubiquitinated H2A and poly(ADP-ribose). By competition experiments, it was shown that these antibodies corresponded to non-crossreacting antibody populations. New Zealand rabbits immunized with TH in the absence of RNA or random outbred rabbits immunized with the RNA-complexed histone fraction produced antibodies reacting with histone, chromatin and very few histone peptides, while no activity with non-related antigens was observed. The pattern of reactivity of antisera raised in NZ rabbits with RNA-complexed TH was found to be very similar to that observed in sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus while, in contrast, the antibody response was very different in NZ or outbred rabbits immunized with various native nuclear particles and with individual histones. Altered nucleosome particles rather than native nucleosomes may represent the antigenic stimulus giving rise to autoantibodies.
