RESUMEN
Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the effects of preadministration of nalmefene before general anesthesia induction on sufentanil-induced cough (SIC) in patients undergoing breast surgery. Patients and Methods: A total of 105 patients scheduled for elective breast surgery under general anesthesia were selected and randomly assigned into three groups: normal saline (Group C), low-dose nalmefene 0.1 µg·kg-1 (Group LN), and high-dose nalmefene 0.25 µg·kg-1 (Group HN). Sufentanil 0.5 µg·kg-1 was injected intravenously within 2 s after 5 min of intervention. The count and severity of cough within 2 min after sufentanil injection, as well as the time to first cough, were recorded. In addition, we also collected intraoperative hemodynamic data, postoperative pain scores, the incidence of receiving rescue analgesics, and side effects up to 24 h after surgery. Results: Compared to Group C, the incidence of SIC was significantly lower in Group LN and HN (64.7% vs 30.3% and 14.7%, respectively; P < 0.001), but no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P=0.126). Compared to Group C, the risk factors decreased by 53.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] =0.181-0.735, P=0.008) in Group LN and by 75.9% (95% CI=0.432-0.898, P=0.001) in Group HN. Of the patients with SIC, less frequent SIC within 2 min after induction and a lower proportion of severe coughs were observed than Group C (P < 0.05), and no difference was detected between Group LN and HN. Additionally, the onset time to the first SIC did not differ significantly between the groups. Intraoperative hemodynamic data, postoperative pain scores, and side effects in the first 24 h did not differ among the groups. Conclusion: Preadministration of nalmefene prior to induction of general anesthesia effectively suppressed SIC in patients undergoing breast surgery, without affecting intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuation and postoperative pain intensity.

AIMS: We report on investigations exploring the P2X3-receptor antagonist filapixant's effect on taste perception and cough-reflex sensitivity and describe its pharmacokinetics, including its CYP3A4-interaction potential. METHODS: In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, 3 × 12 healthy men (18-45 years) were assigned (3:1) to filapixant (20, 80 or 250 mg by mouth) or placebo twice daily over 2 weeks. A single dose of midazolam (1 mg), a CYP3A4 substrate, was administered with and without filapixant. Assessments included a taste-strips test, a taste questionnaire, cough challenge with adenosine triphosphate, adverse event reports and standard safety assessments. RESULTS: Taste disturbances were observed mainly in the 250-mg group: six of nine participants (67%) in this group reported hypo- or dysgeusia in the questionnaire; eight participants (89%) reported taste-related adverse events. Five participants (56%) had a decrease in overall taste-strips-test scores ≥2 points (point estimate -1.1 points, 90% confidence interval [-3.3; 1.1]). Cough counts increased with adenosine triphosphate concentration but without major differences between treatments. Filapixant exposure increased proportionally to dose. Co-administration of filapixant had no clinically relevant effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics. Area under the concentration-time curve ratios and 90% confidence intervals were within 80-125%. No serious or severe adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, filapixant was safe and well tolerated, apart from mild, transient taste disturbances. Such disturbances occurred more frequently than expected based on (in vitro) receptor-selectivity data, suggesting that other factors than P2X3:P2X2/3 selectivity might also play an important role in this context. The cough-challenge test showed no clear treatment effect. Filapixant has no clinically relevant CYP3A4 interaction potential.

Background: Cough is one of the most common complications following intravenous administration of sufentanil during anesthesia induction. The study aimed to investigate the protective effect of alfentanil, afentanyl derivative with short onset time and short duration, in reducing sufentanil-induced cough. Patients and methods: Eighty patients that scheduled for thyroid surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the alfentanil group and normal saline group, with 40 cases per group. Patients in the alfentanil group received intravenous administration of 2 µg/kg alfentanil prior to sufentanil injection during general anesthesia induction, while the same dose of normal saline was administered in the normal saline group. The outcomes measures included the incidence and severity of cough and common side effects of opioids following the administration of sufentanil during the induction of general anesthesia, intraoperative hemodynamics parameters and major adverse events during anesthesia recovery period. Results: The incidence of cough within one minute after the injection of sufentanil during anesthesia induction was 40% in the normal saline group, and the pretreatment of alfentanil significantly reduced the incidence of sufentanil-induced cough to 5% (p < 0.05). Correspondingly, the patients in the alfentanil group had decreased severity of sufentanil-induced cough compared with the normal saline group (p < 0.05). No significant differences in the incidences of common side effects of opioids (dizziness, nausea and vomiting, chest tightness and respiratory depression) within one minute after sufentanil injection were found (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the two groups in intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, extubation time, or the incidences of emergence agitation, respiratory depression, delayed recovery from anesthesia and postoperative nausea and vomiting during Postanesthesia Care Unit stay (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Pretreatment with low-dose alfentanil (2 µg/kg) effectively and safely reduced both the incidence and severity of sufentanil-induced cough during anesthesia induction.

BACKGROUND: Opioids such as sufentanil are used as anaesthetics due to their rapid action and superior analgesic effect. However, sufentanil induces a huge cough in paediatric patients. In contrast, intravenous (IV) lidocaine suppresses opioid-induced cough in children, but its use is limited due to anaesthetists' concern about its toxicity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of dose-dependent IV lidocaine on sufentanil-induced cough (SIC) in paediatric patients. METHODS: A total of 188 patients aged 3-12 years scheduled for elective tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy were enrolled and divided into four groups depending on different dose of lidocaine: A (0 mg.kg-1), B (1 mg.kg-1), C (1.5 mg.kg-1), and D (2 mg.kg-1). The primary outcome was the SIC grade observed during the induction of general anaesthesia. The secondary outcomes were the incidence of SIC, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. RESULTS: The SIC grade was significantly different between groups A and D (P = 0.04) and between groups B and D (P = 0.03). Moreover, the incidence of SIC in groups A, B, C, and D was 81%, 87%, 68%, and 64%, respectively, and the difference between groups B and C (P = 0.03) and between groups B and D (P = 0.0083) was statistically significant. No statistical differences were observed in the hemodynamic parameters between the groups. The incidence of severe cough was statistically different between group D and group A (P < 0.0001), between group D and group B (P < 0.0001), and between group D and group C (P < 0.0001) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Lidocaine suppresses SIC in a dose-dependent manner without severe adverse events. IV lidocaine can be used in paediatric patients safely and efficiently, and the median effective dose was 1.75 mg/kg. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Yichang Central People's Hospital (HEC-KYJJ-2020-038-02), The trial was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2100053006).

BACKGROUND: Sufentanil-induced cough is common during the induction of anesthesia. The objective of this study was to determine whether pretreatment with a small dose of esketamine is effective in treating sufentanil-induced cough. METHODS: 220 patients were screened, and 200 patients who had scheduled elective surgery and were between 18 and 70 years old were randomly divided into two groups. Before sufentanil was administered, esketamine group (group K) was injected with 0.15 mg/kg esketamine at 5 s, and control group (group C) was administered with the same volume. Within 1 min after sufentanil(0.4ug/kg) injection during induction, cough incidence and severity were evaluated. After sufentanil was injected, we recorded its hemodynamic changes and side effects. RESULTS: In the esketamine group (group K) and control group (group C), there was an incidence of cough of 5 and 34%, respectively. The esketamine group (group K) had a significantly lower incidence and severity of cough compared to the control group (group C) immediately after sufentanil injection (P < 0.05). MAP and HR did not differ significantly between the two groups during three different times of general anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that sufentanil-induced cough was significantly reduced by pretreatment with 0.15 mg/kg esketamine, but with no significant changes in the hemodynamic status.

PURPOSE: During the induction of general anesthesia, opioids and endotracheal intubation may cause coughing. This study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of an optimized drug induction scheme for general anesthesia to prevent coughing in patients. METHODS: A total of 220 patients aged 18 to 65 years who underwent surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were randomly assigned to two groups, each with 110 patients. One group was administered a divided sufentanil bolus (group A) and the other with a single sufentanil bolus (group B). Anesthesia induction was performed according to the drug induction scheme of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd minutes. The primary outcome was a coughing episode associated with the administration of opioids during anesthesia induction. We also recorded the pain associated with drug injection, hemodynamics, and blood oxygen saturation during the induction of anesthesia. FINDINGS: All patients were included in the final statistical analysis. Compared with group B, the incidence of opioid induced cough (OIC) was significantly higher in group A (9.1% vs. 0, P = 0.001). There was no cough reaction of tracheal intubation in either group. There was no severe pain due to propofol and rocuronium injection in either group (P > 0.05). The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) values were within the normal range at each time point during the induction period in both groups. IMPLICATIONS: According to the optimized 1st, 2nd, and 3rd minutes anesthesia induction regimen, with a single final intravenous bolus of sufentanil after the diluted rocuronium bromide administration, no sufentanil and tracheal intubation induced coughing reactions were observed. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study protocol was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200062749, http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=175018) on August 17, 2022.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Zhisou Powder (ZSP), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has been widely used in the clinic for the treatment of post-infectious cough (PIC). However, the exact mechanism is not clear. AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effect of ZSP on PIC in mice. The possible mechanisms of action were screened based on network pharmacology, and the potential mechanisms were explored through molecular docking and in vivo experimental validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (80µg/50 µL) was used to induce PIC in mice, followed by daily exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) for 30 min for 30 d to establish PIC model. The effects of ZSP on PIC mice were observed by detecting the number of coughs and cough latency, peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) inflammatory cell counts, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and histological analysis. The core targets and key pathways of ZSP on PIC were analyzed using network pharmacology, and TRPA1 and TRPV1 were validated using RT-qPCR and western blotting assays. RESULTS: ZSP effectively reduced the number of coughs and prolonged the cough latency in PIC mice. Airway inflammation was alleviated by reducing the expression levels of the inflammatory mediators TNF-α and IL-1ß. ZSP modulated the expression of Substance P, Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and nerve growth factor (NGF) in BALF. Based on the results of network pharmacology, the mechanism of action of ZSP may exert anti-neurogenic airway-derived inflammation by regulating the expression of TRPA1 and TRPV1 through the natural active ingredients α-spinastero, shionone and didehydrotuberostemonine. CONCLUSION: ZSP exerts anti-airway inflammatory effects through inhibition of TRPA1/TRPV1 channels regulating neuropeptides to alleviate cough hypersensitivity and has a favorable therapeutic effect on PIC model mice. It provides theoretical evidence for the clinical application of ZSP.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The P2X3 receptor, a trimeric ionotropic purinergic receptor, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for refractory chronic cough (RCC). Nevertheless, gefapixant/AF-219, the only marketed P2X3 receptor antagonist, might lead taste disorders by modulating the human P2X2/3 (hP2X2/3) heterotrimer. Hence, in RCC drug development, compounds exhibiting strong affinity for the hP2X3 homotrimer and a weak affinity for the hP2X2/3 heterotrimer hold promise. An example of such a molecule is sivopixant/S-600918, a clinical Phase II RCC candidate with a reduced incidence of taste disturbance compared to gefapixant. Sivopixant and its analogue, (3-(4-([3-chloro-4-isopropoxyphenyl]amino)-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-2,6-dioxo-3,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-1(2H)-yl)propanoic acid (DDTPA), exhibit both high affinity and high selectivity for hP2X3 homotrimers, compared with hP2X2/3 heterotrimers. The mechanism underlying the druggable site and its high selectivity remains unclear. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: To analyse mechanisms that distinguish this drug candidate from other inhibitors of the P2X3 receptors we used a combination of chimera construction, site covalent occupation, metadynamics, mutagenesis and whole-cell recording. KEY RESULTS: The high affinity and selectivity of sivopixant/DDTPA for hP2X3 receptors was determined by the tri-symmetric site located close to the upper vestibule. Substitution of only four amino acids inside the upper body domain of hP2X2 with those of hP2X3, enabled the hP2X2/3 heterotrimer to exhibit a similar level of apparent affinity for sivopixant/DDTPA as the hP2X3 homotrimer. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: From the receptor-ligand recognition perspective, we have elucidated the molecular basis of novel RCC clinical candidates' cough-suppressing properties and reduced side effects, offering a promising approach to the discovery of novel drugs that specifically target P2X3 receptors.

PURPOSE: Polluted environments can adversely affect lung function and exercise performance. Evidence suggests that some nutrient supplements may offset pollution's detrimental effects. This study examined the effect of polyphenol supplementation on lung function and exercise performance in an ozone-polluted environment. METHODS: Ten male cyclists (mean ± SD: age, 43.8 ± 12.4 years; height, 177.8 ± 7.1 cm; weight, 76.03 ± 7.88 kg; VO2max 4.12 ± 0.72 L min-1) initially completed a baseline maximal incremental test and maximal effort 4 km time trial in ambient air. Thereafter cyclists completed two trials in an ozone-polluted environment (0.25 ppm) following seven days of supplementation with either polyphenol (PB) or placebo (PL). Experimental trials consisted of a three-stage submaximal test (50%, 60% and 70% incremental peak power) followed by a 4 km time trial. Lung function was measured pre- and post-exercise via spirometry and adverse respiratory symptoms with a Likert scale. RESULTS: Ozone exposure significantly reduced (p < 0.05) lung function relative to ambient air. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) in measured variables across the three submaximal intensities. There was a small (d = 0.31) non-significant difference (p = 0.09) in 4 km performance in PB (406.43 ± 50.29 s) vs. PL (426.20 ± 75.06 s). Oxygen consumption during the time trial was greater in PB (3.49 ± 0.71 L min-1) vs PL (3.32 ± 0.71 L min-1, p = 0.01, d = 0.24). Cough severity (SOC) was lower (p = 0.03) with PB relative to PL. CONCLUSION: PB supplementation may provide small benefits to performance and reduce cough symptoms during high-intensity exercise in ozone-polluted environments.

OBJECTIVE: To study the anti-inflammatory and anti-tussive effects of Qingfei Dayuan granules (, QFDY), and to evaluate the acute and sub-chronic toxicity of QFDY. METHODS: Anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated by murine model of xylene induced ear edema in mice. Ear swelling degree was calculated and tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1ß and interleukin-6 were determined. Anti-tussive evaluations were carried out in the mouse cough model induced by ammonia liquor. Latent period cough and number of cough within 3 min were counted. In acute toxicity study, the rats were randomly divided into test group and solvent control group. Body weighs, food intakes and general clinical signs were monitored. In the sub-chronic toxicity study, QFDY was administered to rats at 0, 4, 8 and 16 g/kg per day for 28 and 30 d of post treatment was conducted. Mortalities, clinical signs, body weight changes, food intakes, ophthalmological examinations, hematological parameters, biochemical indicators, electrolyte indicators, urinalyses and histopathological examinations were monitored. RESULTS: QFDY significantly inhibited the development of ear edema in anti-inflammatory assay and decreased cough frequency caused by ammonia liquor. The results presented a dose-effect relationship. In acute toxicity study, no abnormality exhibited at dose of 24.0 g/kg per day during the 14-d observation period. In the sub-chronic toxicity study, higher reticulocyte count, lymphocyte and lower Cl-, blood urea nitrogen were analyzed compared with the solvent control group. But the differences were considered to be incidental and not clinically toxic. Obvious dose-effect relationship of urine color was observed, and the three test groups at the end of the experiments resulted in significant increase in urobilinogen, bilirubin, ketone body and urine leukocyte. However, all the positive indicators returned to normal in the recovery period. Therefore, no toxicological changes were found during the study period. CONCLUSION: QFDY showed significant anti-inflammatory and anti-tussive effects in mice. The lethal dose (LD50) of per oral QFDY in rats was estimated to be more than 24.0 g/kg per day and the no observed adverse effect level was over 16 g/kg per day, which suggested that QFDY is relatively safe for oral medication at the present dose on rats. Our experimental results provide a reference for the further development and research of QFDY.

OBJECTIVES: Development of the secondary to ACEI cough leads to discontinuation of the drugs of this group. Assessing the safety of the ACEIs with further development of customized approaches for their administration is a major scientific and practical problem. The objective of this study was to assess the association of the genetic markers with the development of the adverse drug reaction in the form of secondary to enalapril dry cough in the patients with essential arterial hypertension. METHODS: Study involved 113 patients with the secondary to enalapril cough and 104 patients without development of the secondary to enalapril adverse drug reaction. RESULTS: The patients carriers of the genotype AA rs2306283 of gene SLCO1B1 had 2-fold higher odds of developing the dry cough than those with the genotypes AG and GG (ÐR=2.01, 95%CI=1.10-3.66, Ñ=0.023). Similarly, the patients heterozygous for rs8176746 of gene ÐÐÐ had 2.3-fold higher odds of developing the ADR in the form of dry cough than the carriers of the genotypes GG and TT (ÐR=2.30, 95%CI=1.24-4.29, Ñ=0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Statistically significant association between the development of the ADR in the form of secondary to enalapril dry cough and polymorphisms rs2306283 of gene SLCO1B1 and rs8176746 of gene ABO was revealed.

BACKGROUND: Montelukast is a highly selective and specific cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist used in the treatment of asthma. Whether montelukast as adjuvant therapy can significantly and safely treat adults with cough variant asthma (CVA) remains inconclusive. AIMS: This meta-analysis systematically evaluated the efficacy and safety of montelukast as an adjuvant treatment for adults with CVA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on montelukast combined with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting ß2 agonists (LABAs) to treat CVA in adults, from inception to March 6, 2023, were retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases and Clinical Trials website. Review Manager (version 5.4) and Stata (version 15.0) were used to conduct the meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 15 RCTs were ultimately included in the meta-analysis. It was established that montelukast as adjuvant therapy raised the total effective rate (RR = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.13, 1.27], P < 0.01) and improved the FEV1% (SMD = 0.91, 95% CI [0.40, 1.41], P < 0.01), PEF% (SMD = 0.63, 95% CI [0.38, 0.88], P < 0.01), FEV1 (SMD = 1.15, 95% CI [0.53, 1.77], P < 0.01), PEF (SMD = 0.64, 95% CI [0.42, 0.86], P < 0.01), and FEV1/FVC% (SMD = 0.76, 95% CI [0.51, 1.01], P < 0.01) and reduced the recurrence rate (RR = 0.28, 95% CI [0.15, 0.53], P < 0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions was higher in the montelukast auxiliary group compared to the control group but with no statistical difference (RR = 1.32, 95% CI [0.89, 1.96], P = 0.17). CONCLUSION: Existing evidence indicated that the use of montelukast as an adjuvant therapy had therapeutic efficacy superior to ICS + LABA alone for the treatment of adult patients with CVA. However, further research is needed, especially a combination of high-quality long-term prospective studies and carefully designed RCTs.

Shiwei Longdanhua Granule (SWLDH) is a classic Tibetan medicine (TM) ranking in the top 20 Chinese patent medicines in prescription rate to treat respiratory diseases like pneumonia, acute and chronic tracheobronchitis, acute exacerbation of COPD and bronchial asthma in solution of inflammation, cough and phlegm obstruction in clinical practice. However, its systematic pharmacological mechanisms have not been elucidated yet. Here, we studied the therapeutic efficacy of SWLDH in treatment of acute respiratory diseases in BALB/c mice by comprehensive analysis of airway inflammation, oxidative stress, mucus hypersecretion, cough hypersensitivities and indicators associated with the development of chronic diseases. Our results show that SWLDH might exhibit its inhibitory effects on pulmonary inflammation by interference with arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism pathways. Oxidative stress that highly related to the degree of tissue injury could be alleviated by enhancing the reductive activities of glutathione redox system, thioredoxin system and the catalytic activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) after SWLDH treatment. In addition, SWLDH could significantly abrogate the mucus hypersecretion induced bronchiole obstruction by inactivate the globlet cells and decrease the secretion of gel-forming mucins (MUC5AC and MUC5B) under pathological condition, demonstrating its mucoactive potency. SWLDH also showed reversed effects on the release of neuropeptides that are responsible for airway sensory hypersensitivity. Simultaneously observed inhibition of calcium influx, reduction in in vivo biosynthesis of acetylcholine and the recovery of the content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) might collaboratively contribute to cause airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) relexation. These findings indicated that SWLDH might exhibited antitussive potency via suppression of the urge to cough and ASMCs contraction. Moreover, SWLDH might affect airway remodeling. We found SWLDH could retard the elevation of TGF-ß1 and α-SMA, which are important indicators for hyperplasia and contraction during the progression of the chronic airway inflammatory diseases like COPD and asthma.

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of compound pholcodine syrup and compound codeine phosphate oral solution on lung cancer-related cough. Methods: A total of 60 patients diagnosed with middle-advanced stage lung cancer and had lung cancer-related cough in the Department of Geriatric Oncology of Chongqing University Cancer Hospital from January to May 2022 were prospectively enrolled. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into two groups: observation group and control group. The observation group [n=30, with 21 males and 9 females, and aged (62.3±10.4) years] received compound pholcodine syrup treatment, while the control group [n=30, with 21 males and 9 females, and aged (62.0±8.1) years] received compound codeine phosphate oral solution treatment. The dosage of the two drugs was 15 ml each time, 3 times a day, and the treatment course was 5 days. The antitussive effectiveness, cough severity and quality of life (Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Mandarin-Chinese scale) were observed and compared between the two groups 3 days and 5 days after the treatment. Results: All 60 patients completed the study. Both regimens were effective in controlling lung cancer-related cough. After 3 days treatment, the antitussive effective rate of the observation group and the control group was 83.3% (25/30) and 73.3% (22/30), respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P=0.347). Likewise, after 5 days treatment, the antitussive effective rate of observation group and control group was 90.0% (27/30) and 86.6% (26/30), respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P=0.687). There was no statistically significant difference in the cough severity between observation group [moderate and severe cough: 56.7% (17/30)] and control group [moderate and severe cough: 67.7% (20/30)] (P=0.414). After 3 days treatment, cough symptoms were relieved in both groups. Patients with mild cough accounted for 73.3% (22/30) in the observation group and 56.7% (17/30) in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.331). Moreover, after 5 days treatment, there was also no significant difference in mild cough between observation group [86.7% (26/30)] and control group [66.7% (20/30)] (P=0.067). Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the physiological score, psychological score, social score and total score of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in Mandarin-Chinese scale before the treatment, after 3 days and 5 days treatment between the two groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of both xerostomia and constipation in the observation group was 0, which was lower than those of the control group [20.0% (6/30) and 20.0% (6/30)] (both P<0.05). Conclusions: Both compound pholcodine syrup and compound codeine phosphate oral solution are effective in treating lung cancer-related cough with similar antitussive effectiveness. Compound pholcodine syrup has a lower incidence of xerostomia and constipation than control group, with a better safety profile.

To clarify the role of oestrogen signalling and the role of oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the cough pathways we performed a study in which coughing was observed in both sexes animal models after the treatment by selective ERα degrader fulvestrant (ICI 182-780) and inhibitor of oestrogen synthesis danazol. Degradation of ERα with the normal plasma oestrogen levels induced by fulvestrant, significantly augments the cough response of female but not male guinea pigs. These changes were observed in citric acid-induced cough. Female guinea pigs responded with an increased count of cough expulsions per challenge time and we also detected shorter cough latency. The capsaicin-induced cough did not change. A similar response was observed after danazol treatment, which decreased the plasma oestrogen level. Our results indicate that the transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channel-mediated cough is resistant to the hypoestrous state, while the citric acid-mediated cough is oestrogen-dependent and hypersensitive during the hypoestrous state.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative respiratory adverse events are common in children. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the transdermal ß-2 agonist, tulobuterol, compared with that of placebo on the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events in pediatric patients undergoing tonsillectomy. METHODS: In this triple-blinded (patient, anesthesia provider, and outcome assessor) randomized controlled trial, 188 patients were randomly allocated to receive tulobuterol or a placebo. The tulobuterol groups received a tulobuterol patch (1 mg) masked with a bandage, whereas the placebo only received the bandage. The assigned bandage was applied to the patients 8 to 10 hours before the surgery. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any perioperative respiratory adverse events: oxygen desaturation <95%, airway obstruction, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, severe coughing, or stridor. The outcomes were evaluated using the average relative effect test, which estimates the effect of individual components of a composite outcome and then averages effects across components. RESULTS: A total of 88 and 94 patients who received tulobuterol and placebo, respectively, were analyzed. The incidence of any perioperative respiratory adverse event was lower with tulobuterol (n = 13/88; 14.7%) than that with the placebo (n = 40/94; 42.5%), with an estimated average relative risk (95% confidence interval) across components of 0.35 (0.20-0.60; P < .001). The symptoms of airway obstruction were lower with tulobuterol (n = 8/88; 9.0%) than that with the placebo (n = 32/94; 34.0%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.31 (0.17-0.56; P < .001). The occurrence of severe coughing was lower with tulobuterol (n = 1/88; 1.1%) than that with the placebo (n = 8/94; 8.5%), with relative risk (95% CI) of 0.15 (0.03-0.68; P = .014). CONCLUSIONS: In preschool children undergoing tonsillectomy, the preoperative application of a tulobuterol patch could decrease the occurrence of perioperative respiratory adverse events. Further studies are needed to elucidate the effect of the tulobuterol patch in a broad spectrum of pediatric anesthesia.

INTRODUCTION: We report a rare case of drug-induced interstitial lung disease due to over-the-counter cold medicine taken daily for 25 years to clear the patient's head. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital with a worsening cough that started 5 years ago. Chest radiographs and computed tomography images showed bilateral opacities, and transbronchial lung biopsy specimens showed an organizing pneumonia pattern. He reported taking the same over-the-counter cold medicine daily for the past 25 years to clear his head. We suspected that the cold medicine caused the lung opacities and asked him to stop taking them. His cough, general fatigue, and chest infiltrate gradually diminished. However, 6 months later, he resumed the same treatment because of a cold. The following month, he presented with severe worsening cough and chest radiographical findings. We diagnosed drug-induced interstitial lung disease. He improved by stopping the cold medicine again and taking prednisolone. CONCLUSIONS: Over-the-counter cold medicines are easily accessible at the drugstore. In cases of diffuse lung disease, we should consider drug-induced interstitial lung disease due to over-the-counter cold medicine, which patients have been taking not only for weeks or months but also years.

BACKGROUND: Lidocaine administered through the working channel of a flexible bronchoscope can provide effective local anesthesia but cannot achieve good distribution in the airway. This study was undertaken to determine whether lidocaine delivered via a multi-orifice epidural catheter (three orifices/openings) is superior to conventional method and if a better distribution and decreased the cough reflex can be achieved. METHODS: The patients (N = 100; 50 in each group) were randomized to receive either topical airway anesthesia by the "spray-as-you-go" technique via conventional application (group C) through the working channel of the bronchoscope or via a triple-orifice epidural catheter (group E). The primary outcome measurement was the cough severity, which was documented using a 4-point scale. Bronchoscopists and nurses assessed the coughing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score for cough, total consumption of propofol and lidocaine, requirement frequency of propofol and topical anesthesia, PACU retention time, and adverse events were also compared. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the median cough severity scores between the two groups (group C: 3 vs. group E: 2, P = 0.004). The median visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for the cough, were significantly higher in group C than those in group E (bronchoscopist: 3 vs. 2 P = 0.002; nurse: 3 vs. 2, P < 0.001). The incidence of cough was significantly higher in group C in the trachea, left and right bronchi. The highest respiratory rate was higher in group C than in group E (P < 0.01). Eight patients in group C and two patients in group E had an oxygen saturation below 90% during flexible bronchoscopy(FB) (P = 0.046). More patients in group C required extra topical anesthesia than in group E (P < 0.001). The total lidocaine consumption was also higher in group C than that in group E (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Endotracheal topical anesthesia via the multi-orifice epidural catheter (three holes/openings) during flexible bronchoscopy using the "spray-as-you-go" technique was appeared to be superior to the conventional method.

BACKGROUND: There are no approved therapies for cough in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In this small crossover trial we administered nalbuphine extended-release tablets (NAL ER) as a potential cough therapy for such patients. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial involved two 22-day treatment periods (NAL ERâplacebo and placeboâNAL ER) separated by a 2-week washout period. NAL ER was started at a dose of 27 mg once daily and was titrated up to 162 mg twice daily at day 16. The primary end point was percent change from baseline in hourly daytime objective cough frequency as measured by an electronic cough monitor. The daytime period was defined as the patient-reported time of awakening and bedtime. Secondary end points included change in objective 24-hour cough frequency, changes in cough frequency, cough severity, and breathlessness, per patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 41 patients were randomly assigned and received one or more doses of study medication. There was a 75.1% reduction in daytime objective cough frequency during the NAL ER treatment period versus the placebo treatment period of 22.6%, a 52.5 percentage point placebo-adjusted decrease from baseline (P<0.001) at day 21. There was a 76.1% (95% confidence interval, 83.1 to 69.1) decrease in the 24-hour objective cough frequency with NAL ER, versus a 25.3% (43.9 to 6.7) decrease with placebo, a 50.8 percentage point placebo-adjusted change. Nausea, fatigue, constipation, and dizziness were more common with NAL ER than with placebo. CONCLUSIONS: In this short-term crossover trial, NAL ER reduced cough in individuals with IPF. Larger and longer trials are needed to assess the impact on cough versus drug adverse effects. (Funded by Trevi Therapeutics; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04030026.)
