Objectives: This meta-analysis aims to investigate the potential association between allergic diseases and lung cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to October 8, 2024. Data analysis was performed using Stata 14.0, employing fixed or random effects models based on heterogeneity ( > 0.1, I ≤ 50% or I > 50%). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted, and publication bias was assessed.
Results: Analysis of 10 studies revealed a negative association between allergic diseases and lung cancer risk (OR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.66-0.85, I = 74.4%, < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed eczema was not statistically associated with lung cancer (OR = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.51-1.06), while allergic rhinitis showed negative correlation (OR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.64-0.86). Both men (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.44-0.71) and women (OR = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.54-0.94) with allergic diseases demonstrated reduced lung cancer risk.
Conclusion: Allergic diseases are inversely associated with lung cancer risk, with allergic rhinitis acting as a protective factor, while eczema shows no significant association. Further epidemiological studies are warranted.

Animal allergens, particularly those from cats, dogs, and horses, are significant risk factors for the development of allergic diseases in childhood. Managing animal allergies requires allergen avoidance and, when this is not feasible, specific immunotherapy. Patient history remains the cornerstone of diagnosis, providing the foundation for diagnostic algorithms.

Wheat, a significant source of protein, can also induce various wheat-related allergic reactions (WRARs). Statistical data show significant spatiotemporal and geographical variations in the prevalence of WRARs. Studies reveal that hexaploid wheat exhibits notably higher allergenicity.

Tattoos and permanent make-up (PMU) gain increasing popularity among the general population. There are indications that pigments or their fragments may translocate within the body, however knowledge about possible systemic adverse effects related to tattoos is very limited. We investigated the prevalence of systemic chronic health effects including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and liver toxicity and their relationship with the presence and characteristics of tattoos and PMU as part of the LIFE-Adult-study, a population-based cohort study.

Natural polyreactive antibodies achieve enhanced avidity through heterogeneous ligand binding. However, engineering synthetic heteroligation systems with precise control over recognition motif orientation and distance remains challenging. Here, a DNA framework-based strategy is presented to program heterotypic binding by spatially organizing bivalent aptamers targeting platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB).
