1.Progress on the mechanism of comorbidity of tic disorder and allergic diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2024;51(1):54-58
Tic disorder(TD)is a complex chronic neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by rapid,involuntary,non-hythmic,single or multi-part muscle movement or vocal twitching. Both TD and allergic diseases are related to the body's immune imbalance.The symptoms involve different parts or organs,and the pathogenesis are complex,which seriously affect the quality of life.Clinical studies have found a clear correlation between TD and allergic diseases,but the relationship mechanism is still unclear,mainly involving neuro-immune cross-disorders.This paper reviews the research progress of the relevant mechanisms of TD and allergic diseases,in order to enhance the cognition of the two diseases,and provide new ideas and directions for the etiological research and treatment of TD.

Aim To investigate the changes of phosphodiesterase4(PDE4,type 4 cAMP-specific PDE) activity,TNF-? and neutrophil recruitment in experimental rat lung injury(ALI).Methods ALI in the rat was induced by lipopolysacdharide(LPS).PDE4 activity was measured with HPLC,and the level of TNF-? was detected with ELISA,neutrophil infiltration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) and lung tissues was detected by cell count and morphological analysis.Result Lung tissue PDE4 activity significantly increased as early as 1 h,peaked 6 h,and then markedly lowered at 24 h after intratracheal administration of LPS,while there was a same time-course change of total white cell and neutrophil in the BALF(r=0.83,P

Aim Establish a novel mouse model of airway goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion.Method BALB/c mice were sensitized subcutaneously with ovalbumin(OVA) allergens in aluminium hydroxide at d 0,re-sensitized once intraperitoneally d 10 after first sensitization,and challenged with OVA aerosolly daliy from d 15 to d 21 after first sensitization.Inflammatory cell number in BALF,eosinophil infiltration in the lung tissue with HE stain and goblet cells in the bronchial mucous membrane with PAS stain were examined.Dexamethasone was employed to validate the model.Results Mice sensitized and challenged with OVA showed a significantly hyperplasia of goblet cells in the bronchial mucous membrane,increased mucus in the alveolar cavity,eosinophil infiltration in the lung tissue and increased number of inflammatory cells in BALF.Those pathological changes were inhibited by dexamethasone and mIL-2 plasmid.Conclusion This model helps to screen the new drugs for mucus hypersecretion and research on the pathological mechanism of airway mucus hypersecretion.
