Clustering based on clinicophysiologic parameters yielded 4 stable and reproducible clusters that associate with different pathobiological pathways.

This study was conducted to assess the relation between allergic rhinitis (AR), acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and environment, comorbidity and ethnicity.

Adenosine promotes the CAMP-induced increase of mRNAs, probed with the cDNAs Dl 1 and D14, which are preferentially expressed in prestalk cells, while it inhibits CAMP-induced prespore gene expression. Half-maximal inhibition of prespore gene expression occurs at about 300 PM, while prestalk stimulation by adenosine occurs at about lOO-fold lower concentrations and requires the presence of CAMP. These results indicate that adenosine interferes with the transduction of CAMP to gene expression and suggest the involvement of two different adenosine target sites. Our data furthermore indicate that the transduction of extracellular CAMP to prespore gene or prestalk gene expression occurs via divergent pathways.

Introduction: There are few data available regarding natural history of local allergic rhinitis (LAR). We previously reported the results of the first 5-years of follow-up observing a similar rate of development of systemic allergic rhinitis (AR) in both LAR patients and healthy controls. Objective: To explore the natural history of a population with LAR and the development of AR and comorbidities over a 10 year period. Methods: A cohort of 194 patients with LAR of recent onset (<18 months) and 130 age-and sex-matched healthy controls were prospectively evaluated in a 10-year follow-up study (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016). All participants provided informed consent and ethic committee of the hospital approved the study. Clinical-demographic questionnaire, spirometry, SPT and specific IgE (sIgE) to aeroallergens were evaluated yearly. Nasal allergen provocation tests (NAPT) with D. pteronyssinus (DP), Alternaria, Olea europea, and grass pollen were performed at baseline, and after 5 and 10 years. Results: A total of 151 patients (78%) and 90 controls (69%) completed the study. At baseline, most patients had moderate-tosevere persistent-perennial rhinitis. Conjunctivitis (52%) and asthma (19%) were the main comorbidities, and DP the most frequent sensitizing aeroallergen (51.1%). During the 10 years of evaluation 21 new cases of asthma (12.5%, P = 0.007) and 17 new cases of conjunctivitis (10%, P = 0.067) were diagnosed. After 10 years of evolution a similar rate of development of AR was detected in patients and healthy controls (11.3 vs 10%, P = 0.761). In 5 patients, conversion to systemic atopy occurred in the last year of evaluation (3%). Conclusions: LAR is a well-differentiated clinical entity with a low rate of development of systemic atopy. This study was funded by the Institute of Health "Carlos III" of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Introduction: It is well known that T helper (Th) 2 cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) contribute to allergic diseases. However, their exact role and relationship in nasal allergic disorders is unclear. We sought to investigate the cooperation of Th2 cells and ILC2s in a mouse model of nasal allergic disorder. Methods: To differentially activate Th2 cells and/or ILC2s in nasal mucosa, mice were intranasally administered ovalbumin (OVA) antigen, papain, an ILC2-activatior, or both for 2 weeks. Epithelial thickness and number of eosinophils in the nasal mucosa were evaluated at 24 h after the final challenge. Results: Intranasal administration of OVA and papain preferentially activated Th2 cells and ILC2...
