PURPOSE: Allergic rhinitis (AR) has become a global issue for a large part of the general population. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used extensively to treat persistent allergic rhinitis (PAR). Although systematic reviews have confirmed the effectiveness of SLIT for the treatment of AR, a considerable number of studies using extracts of house dust mites (HDMs) for immunotherapy found no consensus on basic treatment parameters and questioned the efficacy of SLIT. METHODS: In this study, we evaluated SLIT for PAR by a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library database searches were performed for RCTs on the treatment of PAR by SLIT that assessed clinical outcomes related to efficacy through May 2016. Descriptive and quantitative information was abstracted. An analysis was performed with standardized mean differences (SMDs) under a fixed or random effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 metric. RESULTS: In total, 25 studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis for symptom scores and 15 studies for medication scores. SLIT was significantly different from the controls for symptom scores (SMD=1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.74 to 0.73; P<0.001). For medication scores, significant differences for SLIT were also observed versus the controls (SMD=-1.39; 95% CI=-1.90 to -0.88; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis indicates that SLIT provided significant symptom relief and reduced the need for medications in PAR. In this study, significant evidence was obtained despite heterogeneity with regard to the use of mite extract. Specifically, the mite extract used was provided by the patients with PAR. Furthermore, to confirm both the objective outcomes and the effective doses of HDM allergen extracts, experimental data should be obtained from large high-quality population-based studies.

【Objective】 To evaluate the associations of total fat and fatty acid consumption with the risk of hypertension among rural residents in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. 【Methods】 A cross-sectional survey on dietary status with a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was conducted among rural residents aged between 18 and 80 years old in Hanzhong of Shaanxi. Multivariate log-binomial regression models and restricted cubic spline were used to explore the associations of dietary total fat, saturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acids with hypertension and as well as association between dose and response. 【Results】 A total of 2241 individuals were included, with 774 males and 1467 females. Monounsaturated fatty acid accounted for 51.9% of total dietary fat intake, while the other two fatty acids for 48.1%. The intake of dietary fat and any fatty acid in men was significantly in men higher than in women (P<0.001). Results of multivariable log-binomial regression indicated that after adjustment of energy, socio-demographic and lifestyles, the risk of hypertension reduced significantly in Q4 group, compared with that in Q1 (PR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.54-0.92; P-trend: 0.022) in females. A nonlinear dose-response relationship between monounsaturated fatty acids and hypertension was detected by restricted cubic spline in women (P
