Neue Einblicke in die Mechanismen der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin bei allergischer Rhinitis durch die Regulierung von Entzündungs- und oxidativen Stresswegen Abstract Allergy rhinitis (AR) is becoming more common and has serious medical and societal consequences. Sneezing, paroxysmal nasal blockage, nasal itching, mucosal edema, coughing, and rhinorrhea are symptoms of this type I allergic immunological illness. Immunoglobulin E-mediated inflammation is the cause of it. Because AR is prone to recurrent attacks, extended medication therapy may impair its effectiveness. In addition to negatively affecting the patients’ physical health, this can also negatively impact their mental health. During AR development, there are inflammatory...Weiterlesen
