[The relationship between the key nasal symptoms and the level of histamineand leukotriene D4 in serum and nasal secretions in allergic rhinitis].

To investigate the relationship between main nasal symptoms and the levels of histamine and leukotriene D4(LTD4) in serum and nasal secretions in allergic rhinitis(AR),and provide a preliminary guidance for individualized treatment in AR.One hundred and eight cases of AR were divided into two groups,i.e.sneezing group and nasal congestion group,according to 2014 clinical guidelines for allergic rhinitis from January 2014 to June 2015.The levels of histamine and LTD4 in serum and nasal secretions were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and the relationship was explored between the clinical main nasal symptoms score and the levels of histamine and LTD4.The scores of sneezing(5.58±2.59)for AR were obviously related to the levels of histamine in serum(8.39±4.07)ng/ml and nasal secretion(5.06±2.47)ng/ml,(=0.79,0.78,all <0.05).The scores of nasal congestion(5.34±2.36) for AR were also related to the levels of LTD4 in serum(0.356±0.155 ng/ml) and nasal secretion(0.215±0.092)ng/ml,(=0.74,0.72,all <0.05).And the levels of histamine(8.39±4.07)ng/ml and LTD4(0.356±0.155) ng/ml in serum for AR patients were positively correlated with the levels in nasal secretions(=0.99,<0.01;=0.98,<0.01).In AR patients,the high levels of histamine and LTD4 in serum and nasal secretions are closely related to the sneezing symptoms and nasal obstruction symptoms,respectively.
