    Abstract Vagal capsaicin-sensitive afferent C-fibers play an important role in the maintenance of visceral homeostasis and contribute to symptoms in visceral diseases. Based on their developmental origin two functionally distinct types of vagal C-fibers are recognized: those with neurons in the vagal nodose ganglia (derived from epibranchial placodes) and in the vagal jugular ganglia (from neural crest). Studies in nonprimate species demonstrated that the vagal nodose and jugular C-fibers differ in activation profile, neurotrophic regulation, and expression of neurotransmitters. We hypothesized that the expression of selected markers related to key phenotypic properties of vagal C-fibers in the cynomolgus monkey is similar to that reported in nonprimate species. We performed single-cell RT-PCR on nodose and jugular putative C-fiber (TRPV1-positive) neurons isolated from the cynomolgus monkey. We found that the expression of purinergic P2X receptors that underlie selective responsiveness of nodose C-fiber terminals to ATP was conserved in that P2X2 and P2X3 subunits were expressed in nodose, but only P2X3 subunit was expressed in jugular TRPV1-positive neurons. Also conserved was the preferential expression of neurotrophic receptor TrkB in the nodose and preprotachykinin-A in the jugular TRPV1-positive neurons. Several key distinctions in gene expression between nodose and jugular TRPV1-positive (C-fiber) neurons that have been noted in mice, rats, and guinea pigs, are conserved in the cynomolgus monkey. Our results support the translatability of distinct vagal C-fiber phenotypes to primates.

    Abstract Objectives: The usefulness of pharyngeal pH monitoring in patients with symptoms attributed to laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) has been questioned. One problem is the uncertainty whether the pharyngeal pH monitoring captures the aspects of LPR which are responsible for symptoms. We aimed to gain more insight into this problem by performing a comprehensive analysis of acidic pharyngeal reflux before and after the treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in patients with suspected LPR.
    Methods: We used simultaneous pharyngeal and distal esophageal 24-hour pH/impedance monitoring to establish the gastroesophageal origin of pharyngeal reflux, and an unbiased approach to analysis by evaluating a whole range of pharyngeal reflux acidity (pH < 6, pH < 5.5, pH < 5.0, pH < 4.5 and pH < 4.0).
    Results: PPI treatment substantially (by ~50%) improved the symptoms attributed to LPR. In contrast, PPI did not reduce the number of pharyngeal reflux episodes or duration of pharyngeal acid exposure at any pH level. This was also true in a subgroup of patients considered to be good responders to PPI (symptoms improvement by ~75%). Furthermore, good responders did not have more acidic pharyngeal reflux than the patients who were less responsive to PPI.
    Conclusions: PPI treatment did not reduce acidic pharyngeal reflux despite substantially improving the symptoms attributed to LPR. This may be because pharyngeal pH monitoring does not quantitatively capture the aspects of LPR responsible for symptoms or because acid causes the symptoms also by mechanisms other than LPR. Our results argue against the utility of pharyngeal pH monitoring in patients with suspected LPR.

    Abstract The objective assessment of cough frequency is essential for evaluation of cough and antitussive therapies. Nonetheless, available algorithms for automatic detection of cough sound have limited sensitivity and the analysis of cough sound often requires input from human observers. Therefore, an algorithm for the cough sound detection with high sensitivity would be very useful for development of automatic cough monitors. Here we present a novel algorithm for cough sounds classification based on 8-dimensional numbers octonions and compare it with the algorithm based on standard neural network. The performance was evaluated on a dataset of 5200 cough sounds and 90000 of non-cough sounds generated from the sound recordings in 18 patients with frequent cough caused by various respiratory diseases. Standard classification algorithm had sensitivity 82.2% and specificity 96.4%. In contrast, octonionic classification algorithm had significantly higher sensitivity 96.8% and specificity 98.4%. The use of octonions for classification of cough sounds improved sensitivity and specificity of cough sound detection.

    Abstract Pathological cough is thought to be secondary to inappropriate activation of vagal sensory nerves. Sensory nerves can be activated by a large number of disparate stimuli. The most relevant stimuli to block for effective anti-tussive therapy likely depend on the specific underlying pathology that is leading to the coughing. Blocking voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV) will prevent action potential initiation and conduction and therefore prevent sensory communication between the airways and brainstem. In so doing, they would be expected to inhibit evoked cough independently of the nature of the stimulus and underlying pathology. There are nine subtypes of NaVs each with distinct pore-forming alpha subunits referred to NaV1.1-1.9. Among these channels, based on functional and genetic analysis of cough causing vagal afferent nerve subtypes, we hypothesize that targeting NaV1.7 and NaV1.8 is a rational strategy forward for the effective treatment of pathological cough.

    Abstract Background: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is suspected when the symptoms are attributed to the penetration of acidic gastroesophageal reflux (GER) into the larynx. However, the relationships between the intensity of LPR and symptoms and laryngeal injury have not been elucidated. Several factors confound the study of LPR, namely pH is monitored in the pharynx (pharyngeal reflux) but the pharyngeal acidity (pH) required to induce laryngeal injury is unknown, the GER origin of pharyngeal acid is not always established, and a recent treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) confounds the analysis.
    Aims: We aimed to limit these confounding factors to analyze the relationship between LPR and symptoms and laryngeal injury.
    Methods: We used dual pharyngeal and distal esophageal 24-h pH/impedance monitoring to establish GER origin of pharyngeal reflux, we used an unbiased approach to analysis by evaluating a whole range of acidity (pH < 6, pH < 5.5, pH < 5.0, pH < 4.5 and pH < 4.0) in patients with suspected LPR without PPI for  > 30 days.
    Results: Pharyngeal reflux was (median[IQR]) 14[8-20.5] and 4[1.5-6.5] pharyngeal reflux episodes with pH < 6.0 and pH < 5.5, respectively. Pharyngeal reflux with pH < 5.0 was rare. Comprehensive analysis did not reveal any correlation between symptoms (reflux symptom index) or laryngeal injury (reflux finding score) and the number of pharyngeal reflux episodes or duration of pharyngeal acid exposure at any pH level.
    Conclusion: Unbiased comprehensive approach did not reveal any relationship between acidic pharyngeal reflux and the symptoms or laryngeal injury attributed to LPR. Limited clinical usefulness of pharyngeal monitoring reported by others is unlikely due to confounding factors.
