    Abstract Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is one of the most severe forms of wheat allergy. It occurs in patients when they exercise after ingesting wheat-containing foods. Nowadays, the only possible alternative for WDEIA patients is to avoid such foods. This study investigated the potential of six RNA of interference (RNAi) wheat lines with low-prolamin content as alternatives for WDEIA patients. For that purpose, a high performance-liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was performed to evaluate differences in gluten protein fractions among these lines. Next, western blots were conducted to measure the immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity to wheat proteins in sera from five WDEIA patients. Additionally, monoclonal antibodies (moAb) recognition sites and the IgE binding sites were searched in all peptides identified by LC-MS/MS after protein digestion. The results showed a 61.4%-81.2% reduction in the gliadin content of the RNAi lines, accompanied by an increase in their high-molecular weight (HMW) glutenin content compared to the wild type bread wheat line (WT). In all cases, the reduction in gliadin content correlated with a decrease in IgE reactivity observed in the sera of WDEIA patients, highlighting the E82 and H320 lines. These two RNAi lines exhibited a ≤90% reduction in IgE reactivity. This reduction could be attributed to an absence of IgE binding sites associated with α- and ω5-gliadins, which were present in the WT. Overall, these lines offer a potential alternative for foodstuff for individuals with WDEIA.

    Abstract Introduction: celiac disease (CD) patients have a specific pattern of lymphocytic infiltrate in the duodenal mucosa. Flow cytometry is a complementary tool for the diagnosis of CD, which allows the quantification and characterization of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) by what is commonly called a lymphogram. Here we describe our experience with this technique in the diagnosis of CD in adult patients.
    Methods: lymphograms from 157 patients performed in our center between 2009 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Fourteen patients had a previous diagnosis of CD and followed a gluten-free diet (GFD), 21 had a new diagnosis of CD and the remaining were considered as non-celiac. The association of the lymphogram results (total IELs, CD3- lymphocytes and TcRγδ lymphocytes) with the CD diagnosis, compliance with the GFD, time since diagnosis and IgA anti-TG2 titer were determined.
    Results: the area under the ROC curve of TcRγδ lymphocytes for CD patients varied between 0.86 and 0.86. The percentage of TcRγδ lymphocytes in GFD-treated patients was lower; 12 (8.5) vs 20.5 (8.7), p = 0.0153. However, it remained high compared to non-CD; 12 (8.5) vs 6.7 (6), p = 0.135. The time since diagnosis and IgA anti-TG2 titer correlated with the lymphogram results. Helicobacter pylori infection and treatment with angiotensin receptor antagonist 2 (ARA2) were associated with differences in the lymphogram results in patients without CD.
    Conclusions: the duodenal lymphogram is a reliable complementary tool in adults for the diagnosis of CD. However, compliance and duration of the GFD and other factors may condition its diagnostic capacity.

    Abstract The term autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) was applied to a form of "intractable diarrhoea" with serum gut autoantibodies, characterized by male predominance, early onset, poor response to parenteral nutrition and several autoimmune diseases, mainly type 1 diabetes. In recent years the vague concept of AIE has became more precise thanks to the discovery of its genetic and molecular basis. The FOXP3 molecule is crucial for the generation and maturation of regulatory T cells (Treg) expressing CD4+ and CD25+ molecules. Mutations of the FOXP3 gene, located in X chromosome, produce a syndrome with Immune dysfunction, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy and X-linked inheritance (IPEX). The majority of the ancient so-called AIE cases probably correspond to the new IPEX syndrome, even in female patients who may have some autosomal genetic variants. Besides FOXP3, other molecules are likely to be involved in the generation and function of Treg and its deficiency may also enhance autoimmune disease and IPEX-like syndromes. Meanwhile, the important pathogenic role previously ascribed to gut autoantibodies has vanished, with it remaining as having only certain screening usefulness.

    Abstract Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous entity characterized by an impaired ability to produce antibodies. The failure is localized in partially mature B lymphocytes, though T lymphocyte abnormalities are occasionally present. This deficiency affects antibody synthesis and class switch from IgD and IgM, to IgG and IgA. CVID is related to selective IgA deficiency, and both abnormalities may coincide in one same family, and evolve from one to another in the same patient. The symptoms generally manifest in adults, but can occur at any age, even in infancy. Recurrent bacterial infections or pneumonias are frequent, and may be complicated by gastrointestinal problems, granulomas, autoimmune disorders or malignancies. A defect in memory B cells seems to condition the clinical severity. Recently, several mutations in genes encoding for molecules (CD19, TACI, ICOS) involved in B cell survival and isotype switch have been identified in patients with CVID. Nevertheless, genetic abnormalities have been found in less than 25 % of cases with CVID; the underlying mechanism thus remains unknown in the majority of CVID patients, and research in this field must continue.

    Title translation Meningococcal sepsis in pediatrics. Parameters associated with poor outcome.
    Abstract Background: Mortality due to meningococcal sepsis continues to be extremely high. Patients with a poor prognosis require aggressive therapy and should be identified early.
    Objective: To investigate the clinical and biological factors associated with poor outcome.
    Patients and method: Seventy-one children aged 2 months to 13 years with meningococcal sepsis were studied. Inclusion criteria were meningococcus isolation in cultures or characteristic clinical features with purpuric exanthema.
    Methods: A correlational descriptive study was performed. In all patients we evaluated the Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM), the Glasgow Scale for Meningococcal Sepsis (GSMS), polymorphonuclear (PMN) count and prolactin (PRL), leptin (LPT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
    Results: Fourteen children (19.7 %) died. Death was associated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (p = 0.0001), high GSMS and PRISM scores (p = 0.0001) and to a lesser extent with shock (p = 0.01). In patients who died, the determinations showing greatest alteration at admission were PRL levels (p = 0.0009) and PMN count (p = 0.0005). CRP levels were not associated with differences in mortality but were high in patients with shock (p = 0.008). Children with high body weight percentiles were at greater risk of death and showed higher levels of PRL, PCT (p = 0.006) and LPT (p = 0.006), without differences in GSMS or PRISM scores. Age did not influence mortality or PRL levels but did influence GMSM and PRISM scores and PMN and CRP levels. These differences disappeared after the age of 2-3 years. In patients with MODS or shock, the only differences found were reduced PMN count (p = 0.0001) and elevated PRL levels (p = 0.0001).
    Conclusions: In meningococcal sepsis, death is more frequent in children with high body weight percentiles. Moreover, these children present elevated PRL and LPT levels, although whether these variables act independently remains to be elucidated.
