The ICH Advisory Panel did approve this SMQ topic to go into the development phase and it Comment: underwent testing in three databases (two regulatory authorities and one company). However, there were numerous challenges encountered in testing and the consensus decision of the CIOMS SMQ Implementation Working Group was that the topic could not be developed to go into production as an SMQ. Most notably, in contrast to other SMQs, this query could not be tested using negative control compounds because it was not possible to identify suitable compounds administered via infusion that were not associated with some type of reaction. In addition, there is no internationally agreed definition of an infusion related reaction and the range of potential reactions associated with the large variety of compounds given by infusion is very broad and heterogenous. Testing was conducted on a set of around 500 terms, the majority of which was already included in Anaphylactic reaction (SMQ), Angioedema (SMQ), and Hypersensitivity (SMQ). It proved difficult to identify potential cases of infusion related reactions in post-marketing databases where the temporal relationship of the event to the infusion is typically not available. In clinical trial databases where this information is more easily available, users are encouraged to provide more specificity about the event, e.g., by reporting “Anaphylactic reaction” when it is known that this event is temporally associated with the infusion.

  • Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs Keith Bernard Woodford Agri-Food Systems, Lincoln University, Lincoln 7674, New Zealand; [email protected] Abstract: Food-derived opioid peptides include digestive products derived from cereal and dairy diets. If these opioid peptides breach the intestinal barrier, typically linked to permeability and constrained biosynthesis of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), they can attach to opioid receptors. The widespread presence of opioid receptors spanning gut, brain, and internal organs is fundamental to the diverse and systemic effects of food-derived opioids, with effects being evidential across many health conditions. However, manifestation delays following low-intensity long-term exposure create major challenges for clinical trials. Accordingly, it has been easiest to demonstrate causal relationships in digestion-based research where some impacts occur rapidly. Within this environment, the role of the microbiome is evidential but challenging to further elucidate, with microbiome effects ranging across gut-condition indicators and modulators, and potentially as systemic causal factors. Elucidation requires a systemic framework that acknowledges that public-health effects of food- derived opioids are complex with varying genetic susceptibility and confounding factors, together with system-wide interactions and feedbacks. The specific role of the microbiome within

  • Psoriasis, a Systemic Disease Beyond the Skin, As Evidenced by Psoriatic Arthritis and Many Comorbities
    1 Psoriasis, a Systemic Disease Beyond the Skin, as Evidenced by Psoriatic Arthritis and Many Comorbities – Clinical Remission with a Leishmania Amastigotes Vaccine, a Serendipity Finding J.A. O’Daly Astralis Ltd, Irvington, NJ USA 1. Introduction Psoriasis is a systemic chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder, with worldwide distribution, affects 1–3% of the world population, prevalence varies according to race, geographic location, and environmental factors (Chandran & Raychaudhuri, 2010; Christophers & Mrowietz, 2003; Farber & Nall, 1974). In Germany, 33,981 from 1,344,071 continuously insured persons in 2005 were diagnosed with psoriasis; thus the one year prevalence was 2.53% in the study group. Up to the age of 80 years the prevalence rate (range: 3.99-4.18%) was increasing with increasing age and highest for the age groups from 50 to 79 years The total rate of psoriasis in children younger than 18 years was 0.71%. The prevalence rates increased in an approximately linear manner from 0.12% at the age of 1 year to 1.2% at the age of 18 years (Schäfer et al., 2011). In France, a case-control study in 6,887 persons, 356 cases were identified (5.16%), who declared having had psoriasis during the previous 12 months (Wolkenstein et al., 2009). The prevalence of psoriasis analyzed across Italy showed that 2.9% of Italians declared suffering from psoriasis (regional range: 0.8-4.5%) in a total of 4109 individuals (Saraceno et al., 2008). The overall rate of comorbidity in subjects with psoriasis aged less than 20 years was twice as high as in subjects without psoriasis.

  • Delusions of Parasitosis; an Irrational Fear of Insects Explained
    FACT SHEET DELUSORY PARASITOSIS. THE BELIEF OF BEING LIVED ON BY ARTHROPODS OR OTHER ORGANISMS. Guide for Health Departments, Medical Communities, and Pest Management Professionals Dr. Gale E. Ridge Department of Entomology The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station Introduction Delusory parasitosis, an unshakable belief or syndrome (Hopkinson 1970) of being attacked by insects, is a very difficult and under-diagnosed condition. It often starts with an actual event or medical condition (the trigger) that may progress over time into mental illness. For those who have had the problem over long time periods, the condition can sometimes consume a person’s life. Although patients may repeatedly seek help from experts, they may refuse to abandon their ideas for test results which contradict their invested beliefs (Sneddon 1983). Sufferers can become antagonistic and relentless in their need to find someone who will confirm their self-diagnoses (Murray and Ash 2004). Those with the obsession, often search the internet, finding web-sites that support their fears. Often under the falsehood of medical authority, some of these sites provide misguided advice and inaccurate information. Poorly informed misdiagnoses by medical professionals may also contribute to the problem. This is a very complex and difficult condition to manage, requiring dedication and time by trained professionals or an interdisciplinary team of experts. Naming the syndrome Because delusory parasitosis (DP) is medically amorphous, several medical specialists have been involved, e.g., psychiatrists, physicians, dermatologists, and medical entomologists. All have tried to define the condition. The term delusions of parasitosis was coined by Wilson and Miller (1946) dispelling earlier use of the words acarophobia (Thibierge 1894), entomophobia, and parasitophobia.

  • Epigenetic Effects of Casein-Derived Opioid Peptides in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells Malav S
    Trivedi et al. Nutrition & Metabolism (2015) 12:54 DOI 10.1186/s12986-015-0050-1 RESEARCH Open Access Epigenetic effects of casein-derived opioid peptides in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells Malav S. Trivedi1*, Nathaniel W. Hodgson2, Stephen J. Walker3, Geert Trooskens4, Vineeth Nair1 and Richard C. Deth1 Abstract Background: Casein-free, gluten-free diets have been reported to mitigate some of the inflammatory gastrointestinal and behavioral traits associated with autism, but the mechanism for this palliative effect has not been elucidated. We recently showed that the opioid peptide beta-casomorphin-7, derived from bovine (bBCM7) milk, decreases cysteine uptake, lowers levels of the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and decreases the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in both Caco-2 human GI epithelial cells and SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. While human breast milk can also release a similar peptide (hBCM-7), the bBCM7 and hBCM-7 vary greatly in potency; as the bBCM-7 is highly potent and similar to morphine in it's effects. Since SAM is required for DNA methylation, we wanted to further investigate the epigenetic effects of these food-derived opioid peptides. In the current study the main objective was to characterize functional pathways and key genes responding to DNA methylation effects of food-derived opioid peptides. Methods: SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were treated with 1 μM hBCM7 and bBCM7 and RNA and DNA were isolated after 4 h with or without treatment. Transcriptional changes were assessed using a microarray approach and CpG methylation status was analyzed at 450,000 CpG sites. Functional implications from both endpoints were evaluated via Ingenuity Pathway Analysis 4.0 and KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify biological interactions between transcripts that were significantly altered at DNA methylation or transcriptional levels (p < 0.05, FDR <0.1).
