Background: Dupilumab is approved for multiple type 2 inflammatory diseases. In the treatment procedure, the changes of IgE levels need further analysis. We evaluated the changes of IgE levels through meta-analysis, aiming to provide a more comprehensive result.
Research Design And Methods: Databases were searched to select eligible publications. After being included, study quality was assessed. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was used as an evaluation.
Results: Seven studies were included. At week 4, the level of IgE did not decrease significantly, with SMD = -0.12 (95%CI: -0.31, 0.07) ( > 0.05). At week 8, 12, 16, 24, and 52, the level of IgE decreased significantly, which was SMD = -0.26 (95%CI: -0.48, -0.03); -0.25 (95%CI: -0.32, -0.18); -0.49 (95%CI: -0.65, -0.33); -0.30 (95%CI: -0.38, -0.22); -0.40 (95%CI: -0.48, -0.32) ( < 0.05). In AD studies, with the increase of IgE levels, due to the decrease in the total dose of dupilumab, the efficacy index showed a decreasing trend.
Conclusions: Levels of IgE can be significantly decreased in patients with dupilumab treatment. In AD patients, the efficacy was related to total dose; for patients with high IgE levels, efficacy may be better with the dose increased.

Allergic asthma is an inflammatory airway disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors and orchestrated by imbalance between T helper 1 cell (Th1) and two immune responses. Inflammation contributes to pathological changes and remodeling in tissues such as the vascular, lung, heart, and beds. The purpose for this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic asthma on heart pathology and remodeling.

Background: Asthma with low levels of T2-biomarkers is poorly understood.
Objective: To characterize severe asthma phenotypes and compare pre- to post-biologic change in asthma outcomes along a gradient of T2-involvement.
Methods: This was a registry-based, cohort study including data from 24 countries.

The tail of a pig can be positioned in various postures such as curled, straight out, hanging down or tucked against the body. The tail hanging down is suggested to be indicative of a negative emotional state in several situations. The objective of this study was to explore whether the hanging posture could also be used as an indicator of a negative emotional state in a novel situation.

Background: Adverse events could be a barrier to implementing oral immunotherapy (OIT) in children with hen's egg (HE) allergy, highlighting the need for safer OIT methods.
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of a new OIT method in a single-center, phase II, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Children aged 1 to 18 years with HE allergy whose cumulative tolerated dose (CTD) range was greater than or equal to 0.

Background: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) has been a cornerstone treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) for over 50 years, consistently demonstrating symptom reduction and modulation of immune responses. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the efficacy of SCIT remain incompletely understood, especially with regard to local immune responses in lymph nodes and nasal mucosa.
Aim: To determine the impact of SCIT treatment on immunoglobulin production in blood and nasal mucosa, as well as B cell class-switching in blood and lymph nodes.
