The "hygiene hypothesis" postulates an inverse relationship between the prevalence of parasitic infections and the frequency of multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective: It was to study whether antibodies against parasites could be demonstrated more frequently in blood serum from MS patients with oligoclonal bands (OCB) than from MS patients without OCB. Methods: We studied serum samples from 164 patients who had previously been analyzed to investigate OCB. Parasitic antibodies were studied through unidimensional electrophoresis of proteins on polyacrylamide gel against Taenia antigens, searching for antiparasitic specific low molecular weight antibodies and also for antiparasitic nonspecific high molecular weight antibodies. Results: Two of the 103 patients with no evidence of OCB had antibodies of low molecular weight and 59 of them had antibodies of high molecular weight. Of the 61 patients with evidence of OCB, one showed antibodies of low molecular weight and 16 showed antibodies of high molecular weight. Conclusion: Antiparasitic antibodies are detected with similar frequency in MS patients with OCB and in MS patients without OCB.

A diabetes tipo 1 é uma doença autoimune marcada por altos níveis de glicose no sangue, devido à destruição de células- pancreáticas produtoras de insulina. A Hipótese da Higiene faz associação entre o aumento da incidência de doenças autoimunes e uma diminuição do contato com agentes infecciosos e parasitários na infância. A hipótese desse trabalho é que a exposição a produtos do helminto Necator americanus poderia modular a resposta imunológica de camundongos com diabetes autoimune e melhorar o quadro característico da doença. No bioensaio foram utilizados 30 camundongos fêmeos, da linhagem Non-obese diabetic (NOD). Os animais foram separados em dois grupos com 15 indivíduos cada: o grupo AdEX foi tratado com extrato bruto de N. americanus, e o grupo controle foi tratado com solução inócua (PBS). As respectivas soluções foram administras por via intraperitoneal, três vezes por semana. Semanalmente, a glicose foi aferida, e uma gota de sangue foi retirada da cauda para confecção de lâminas de esfregaço sanguíneo. Após 18 semanas de tratamento os animais foram eutanasiados e o sangue foi colhido. Também foram colhidos o baço e o pâncreas. O sangue foi centrifugado e o soro estocado para futuras análises das citocinas através de citometria de fluxo. Também foram feitos cortes histológicos do pâncreas para posterior comparação do infiltrado inflamatório. A resposta frente ao extrato bruto do helminto foi avaliada comparando os resultados entre os grupos nas técnicas: leucometria total e relativa, avaliação do perfil de citocinas e de células do sistema imunológicos presentes no baço, níveis de glicose dos animais e avaliação do infiltrado inflamatório. Os resultados obtidos mostraram uma tendência de imunomodulação pelo extrato administrado. Na correlação entre citocinas e glicemia, foi observado que maiores quantidades de IL-4 e IL-10 refletiam em menores taxas de glicemia nos animais do grupo tratado com extrato bruto. Assim, conclui-se que a administração de antígenos de N. americanus em camundongos com diabetes autoimune é capaz de modificar aspectos da resposta imunológica, e potencialmente induzir a uma produção de citocinas de perfil de resposta Th2 e/ou modulatória. Entretanto, a produção dessas citocinas mostrou-se incapaz de impedir a infiltração de células imunológicas no pâncreas, mas podendo aparentemente atrasar a progressão da inflamação. Para um melhor entendimento do panorama imunológico da DM1 em modelo experimental NOD tratado com extrato bruto de N. americanus faz-se necessários futuros experimentos. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease marked by high blood glucose levels due to the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic cells. Hygiene Hypothesis is an association between the increase in the incidence of autoimmune diseases and a decrease in contact with infectious and parasitic agents in childhood. The hypothesis of this work is that exposure to products of the hookworm Necator americanus could modulate the immune response of mice with autoimmune diabetes and improve the disease's characteristic picture. In the bioassay were used 30 female mice of the non-obese diabetic (NOD) lineage. The animals were separated into two groups with 15 individuals each: the AdEX group was treated with crude extract of N. americanus, and the control group was treated with innocuous solution (PBS). The respective solutions were given intraperitoneally three times a week. The glucose was measured weekly, and a drop of blood was removed from the tail to make blood smear blades. After 18 weeks of treatment the animals were euthanized and blood was collected. The spleen and pancreas were also collected. Blood was centrifuged and serum stored for future cytokine analysis by flow cytometry. Histological sections of the pancreas were also made for later comparison of the inflammatory infiltrate. The response to the crude helminth extract was evaluated by comparing the results between the groups in the techniques: total and relative leucometry, evaluation of the cytokine profile and immunological system cells present in the spleen, glucose levels of the animals and evaluation of the inflammatory infiltrate. The obtained results showed a trend of immunomodulation by the administered extract. In the correlation between cytokines and glycemia, it was observed that higher amounts of IL-4 and IL-10 reflected in lower glycemia rates in the animals treated with crude extract. Thus, it is concluded that the administration of N. americanus antigens in mice with autoimmune diabetes is capable of modifying aspects of the immune response, and potentially inducing a production of Th2 and / or modulatory response profile cytokines. However, the production of these cytokines proved to be incapable of preventing the infiltration of immune cells into the pancreas, but could appear to delay the progression of inflammation. For a better understanding of the immunological panorama of DM1 in the NOD experimental model treated with crude extract of N. americanus, future experiments are necessary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease with multifactorial etiopathogenesis, involving genetic, immunological and environmental mechanisms, whose diagnosis and delayed treatment have a negative influence on the prevalence and severity of the disease. Therefore, patients residing in low-income countries should show increased morbidity and / or mortality from these diseases. Interestingly, the evolution seems to be similar, if not less severe, to that found in populations with better socioeconomic indexes. The hygienic hypothesis suggests an inverse relationship between the global distribution of autoimmune diseases and parasitic infections, where helminths tend to stimulate the development of Th2 responses and suppress Th-1 and Th-17 responses. The aim of this study was to isolate components in Ascaris suum extract and characterize its anti-inflammatory mechanism in experimental arthritis models. Ascaris suum crude extract was separated into fractions > 30 and 30kDa, 30 e 30 kDa

Nas últimas décadas os casos de asma e demais doenças alérgicas tiveram grande aumento em todo o mundo, sendo atualmente um grande problema de saúde pública. As causas do aumento da prevalência destas patologias são desconhecidas, porém a hipótese mais aceita é que seja oriunda da redução de infecções na infância como consequência da recente melhora nas condições de higiene. Esta redução das infecções pode levar ao desenvolvimento anômalo do sistema imune, aumentando assim a chance de desenvolver alergias e a asma. Tanto a asma como as demais alergias são patologias complexas, causadas por fatores genéticos e ambientais, de modo que o uso de ferramentas computacionais, tais como a programação genética podem contribuir para a compreensão destas doenças. Aplicou-se a técnica de Programação Genética Gramatical Multiobjetivo (MGGP) em dados obtidos de um coorte de 1445 crianças entre 4 e 11 anos para gerar modelos os quais possam representar como as relações entre infecções e ambiente podem explicar o desenvolvimento de atopia e asma. Para avaliar a presença de asma foi usado um questionário do ISAAC fase II e para avaliar atopia foram realizadas medições de anticorpos IgE contra alérgenos comuns e teste de reatividade cutânea. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os modelos gerados pela MGGP apresentam desempenho em acurácia competitivos aos obtidos pelo algoritmo C4.5 e regressão logística múltipla para os diferentes desfechos. Os resultados obtidos pela MGGP são de fácil interpretação, e capazes de encontrar relações complexas relevantes para o entendimento destas patologias, sendo assim, a MGGP é uma poderosa ferramenta para ajudar a compreender essas condições. In the last decades cases of asthma and other allergic diseases have increased greatly throughout the world, being nowadays a major public health problem. The causes of this increased prevalence are unknown, however the most accepted hypothesis is that it comes from the reduction of childhood infections as a consequence of the recent improvement in hygiene conditions. This reduction of infections can lead to anomalous development of the immune system, thus increasing the chance of developing allergies, including asthma. Asthma and other allergies are complex pathologies caused by genetical and environmental factors, so the use of computational tools such as genetic programming can contribute to the understanding of these diseases. We applied the Multiobjective Grammatical Genetic Programming (MGGP) technique to data obtained from a cohort of 1445 children to generate models which may represent how the relationships between infections and environment may explain the development of allergies and asthma. To assess the presence of asthma, a questionnaire was used and allergy measurements were performed on IgE antibodies against common allergens and skin reactivity test. The results obtained show that the models generated by MGGP show a performance in accuracy that is competitive with those obtained by the algorithm C4.5 and multiple logistic regression for the different outcomes. The results obtained by MGGP are easy to interpret, and capable of finding complex relationship relevant to the understanding of these complex pathologies, therefore MGGP is a powerful tool to help understand these conditions.

According to hygiene hypothesis, a lower exposure to infection is associated with the increase in allergic disease prevalence. This study aimed to investigate the association between atopy and Toxoplasma gondii (Tg) infection by analyzing the humoral and cellular immune responses in Tg-seropositive and -seronegative, atopic and non-atopic patients. A total of 275 individuals were assessed and divided into atopics (n=129) and non-atopics (n=146) based on markers of allergy (positive skin prick test and ELISA-IgE to mite allergens) or Tg-seropositive (n=116) and Tg-seronegative (n=159) groups according to infection serological markers (positive ELISA-IgG to T. gondii). Tg-seropositive individuals presented lower allergenic sensitization (37%) to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) and Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) mite than Tg-seronegative subjects (54%). The odds ratio (OR) of belonging to an atopic group with positive serology to T. gondii was 0.50 (95% CI: 0.31-0.81; p

RESUMO Nas últimas décadas assistimos a uma marcada redução da morbilidade e mortalidade infantil e da população em geral, particularmente pela redução das doenças infecciosas devido à sua prevenção e cura. Mas a redução das doenças infecciosas correlacionou – se inversamente com as doenças do foro imunológico, atópicas e auto – imunes. Este trabalho, de revisão da literatura, pretende levar aos leitores algumas razões desta constatação epidemiológica, particularmente as do aumento da prevalência das doenças atópicas. Abordamos resumidamente o mecanismo imunológico das doenças atópicas e auto – imunes, a influência das doenças infecciosa sobre estas, a conhecida hipótese da higiene, e a perspectiva que se abre para se controlar a ascensão das doenças do foro imunológico, nomeadamente, pela manipulação da flora intestinal, a nossa maior barreira imunológica, incluindo o tipo de parto. SUMMARY In the last decades we assist to an accentuated decrease of the morbility and mortality in children and in general population, namely due to progression in the control of infectious diseases. But as the infections decrease, autoimmune and allergic diseases increase. The present work intends a literature review about those epidemiologic facts, namely the increase of atopic disorders. We make a short review about the mechanisms of atopic and autoimmune disorders, the influence of infectious diseases in those disorders, the known hygiene hypothesis, and what benefices we can obtain with the manipulation of the great immunologic barrier that is the faecal micro flora, including the mode of delivery, to control the ascension of the immunological disorders.
