Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was previously known as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It has various main symptoms, such as dyspnea, chronic cough, and sputum, and is often accompanied by dysphagia. Although many published clinical reports have described COPD-related dysphagia, the physiological mechanisms underlying swallowing changes due to COPD remain unclear. Therefore, we analyzed how COPD affects the swallowing reflex using COPD model rats. We performed an electrophysiological study of respiration and swallowing using COPD model induced by intratracheal administration of porcine pancreatic elastase and lipopolysaccharide in Sprague-Dawley male rats. To identify the respiration and swallowing responses, electromyographic activity was recorded from the diaphragm, digastric (Dig), and thyrohyoid (TH) muscles. We confirmed COPD using micro-computed tomography analysis and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the lungs. The duty cycle was defined as the ratio of the inspiration duration to the total respiratory duration. In COPD model rats, the duty cycle was significantly higher than that in control rats. The frequency of the swallowing reflex evoked by electrical stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve during the inspiration phase was higher in COPD model rats than in control rats. Furthermore, long-term COPD altered Dig and TH muscle activity without pathological muscle change. Our results suggest that COPD increases the frequency of swallowing initiation during the inspiration phase. Furthermore, long-term COPD affects swallowing-related muscle activity without pathological muscle changes. These physiological changes may increase the risk of developing dysphagia. Further studies are necessary to clarify the mechanisms contributing to the functional changes in respiration and swallowing in COPD.

The sternohyoid muscle depresses the hyoid bone, but it is unclear whether the muscle contributes to respiratory and swallowing mechanisms. This study aimed to clarify whether the sternohyoid muscle participates in the respiration and swallowing reflex and how the activity is modulated in two conditions: with airway stenosis and with a fixed sternohyoid muscle length. Electromyographic activity in the sternohyoid, digastric, thyrohyoid, and diaphragm muscles was recorded in anesthetized rats. The sternohyoid muscle activity was observed in the inspiratory phase and during swallowing, and was well coordinated with digastric and thyrohyoid muscle activity. With airway stenosis, the respiratory activity per respiratory cycle was facilitated in all assessed muscles but the facilitation of activity per second occurred only in the digastric, thyrohyoid, and sternohyoid muscles. With airway stenosis, the swallowing activity was facilitated only in the digastric muscle but not in the thyrohyoid and sternohyoid muscles. Swallowing activity was not observed in the sternohyoid muscle in the condition with the sternohyoid muscle length fixed, although increased inspiratory activity remained. The current results suggest that (1) the sternohyoid muscle is slightly activated in the inspiratory phase, (2) the effect of airway stenosis on respiratory function may differ between the upper airway muscles and diaphragm, and (3) swallowing activity in the sternohyoid muscle is not dominantly controlled by the swallowing central pattern generator but instead occurs as a myotatic reflex.

BACKGROUND: Liquid modification is a widely established strategy of treatment for patients with dysphagia. The modification of liquid particularly by thickening or carbonation is a common approach to promote safe swallowing. OBJECTIVE: This study sought to investigate how carbonated and/or thickened water modulates swallowing behaviours during swallowing in healthy young individuals. METHODS: Thirty-one healthy volunteers (9 men, 22 women; mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 25.7 ± 6.2 years) were instructed to swallow 20 mL of water, carbonated water and carbonated juice with and without added thickening agent. Electromyograms (EMGs) of the suprahyoid (S-hyo) muscles were recorded to evaluate swallowing behaviours. Obtained S-hyo EMG bursts was analysed using the following outcome parameters: onset latency, the time between swallowing que to onset of EMG burst; rising time and falling time, defined as the time between onset and peak, and between peak and offset, respectively; duration, defined as the time between onset and offset of EMG burst; and area integral value under the waveform. RESULTS: Effects of thickening demonstrated the extended onset latency, EMG burst duration including falling time and the larger area of EMG in thickened liquid compared to thin liquid, but there was not much difference between thin and thickened carbonated liquids. Carbonation significantly decreased the duration including falling time for thickened but not for thin liquids. CONCLUSION: Patients with dysphagia can benefit from use of carbonated or thickened water while the effects on swallowing physiology may differ between carbonation and thickening.

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear how the salivary flow and the fat content of food affect bolus formation during mastication. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to clarify: (1) how hyposalivation affects jaw-closing and hyoid-elevating muscle activities in bolus formation, and (2) if the effect of hyposalivation on muscle activity depends on the fat content of food. METHODS: Eighteen healthy male volunteers were instructed to freely ingest four test foods: Plain, Fat without seasoning, Fat with seasoning, and Soft rice crackers. Masseter and suprahyoid electromyographic activities were recorded before and 30 min after the administration of atropine sulfate, a muscarinic receptor antagonist that induces hyposalivation. RESULTS: Hyposalivation extended the masticatory duration significantly in all the test foods except Fat with seasoning. Masticatory cycle time was significantly longer with vs without hyposalivation for the Soft (p = .011). Suprahyoid activity/cycle was significantly greater with vs without hyposalivation (p = .013). Masticatory cycle time was significantly longer at the late stage with vs without hyposalivation for the Soft (p < .001). Suprahyoid activity/cycle was significantly greater at the middle (p = .045) and late stages (p = .002) with vs without hyposalivation for the Soft and greater at the late stage with vs without hyposalivation for the Plain (p = .043). Changes in masticatory cycle time and suprahyoid activity/cycle for these foods had significantly positive relationship (p < .001). CONCLUSION: Hyposalivation-induced changes in masticatory behaviours resulted from the middle and late stage suprahyoid activity. Fat content and seasoning compensate for salivary flow inhibition.

Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) applies electrical stimulation to pharyngeal mucosa (PhM) and represents a useful approach to improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia. To determine the optimal PES modality to treat dysphagia, the mechanism underlying the effects of PES on swallowing function must be elucidated. In this study, we evaluated how PES and electrical stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) modulate the initiation of swallowing in anesthetized rats. A swallow was evoked by electrical stimulation of the PhM, SLN, and nucleus of the solitary tract (nTS) and pharyngeal mechanical stimulation using a von Frey filament. A swallow was identified by electromyographic bursts in mylohyoid and thyrohyoid muscles. Bilateral SLN transection abolished the swallows evoked by PhM electrical stimulation. PhM and SLN electrical stimulation decreased swallowing frequency in a similar time-dependent manner. Intravenous administration of the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculine did not affect the time-dependent change in swallowing frequency during SLN electrical stimulation. Continuous SLN electrical stimulation significantly inhibited pharyngeal mechanically and nTS-electrically evoked swallows compared with before and 5 min after stimulation. The present findings suggest that the SLN plays a primary role in PES-evoked swallows. Additionally, continuous SLN electrical stimulation inhibits the initiation of swallowing, and the modulation of central network associated with swallowing might be partially involved in this inhibition.

The external carotid artery (ECA) plays a major role in supplying blood to the head and neck. Although impeded blood flow in the ECA is expected to affect orofacial functions, few studies have shown how blood flow obstruction in the ECA contributes to impairment of these functions, including chewing and swallowing. This study was performed to investigate the effects of ECA ligation (ECAL) on immediate and long-term changes in masticatory and swallowing functions as well as the jaw-opening reflex evoked in the digastric muscle. The experiments were carried out using male Sprague-Dawley rats. In the acute experiment, the digastric reflex evoked by low-threshold electrical stimulation of the inferior alveolar nerve and the swallow reflex, identified by digastric and thyrohyoid electromyographic (EMG) bursts, were compared between before and 1 h after ECAL. The chronic experiment was conducted on freely moving rats. EMGs of the masseter, digastric, and thyrohyoid muscles were chronically recorded. The long-term effects of ECAL on behavior and muscle histology were compared between rats with an intact ECA and rats with ECAL. In the acute experiment, the peak amplitude of the digastric reflex on the ECAL side was significantly decreased 1 h after ECAL. In the chronic experiment, although most parameters of the masticatory and swallowing EMGs were not significantly different between the groups, the results suggest wide variation of the effect of ECAL on the muscles. Blood supply compensation from collaterals of the internal carotid artery may be permanent in some animals.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The inhibitory effect of unilateral external carotid artery ligation (ECAL) on the ipsilateral digastric reflex was small but evident. Most parameters of masticatory and swallowing muscle activity were not significantly different after ECAL. Wide variation was noted in the effect of ECAL on the ipsilateral muscle activity. Blood supply compensation from collaterals of the internal carotid artery may occur in response to the impaired blood flow.

The effects of head and neck alignment and pharyngeal anatomy on epiglottic inversion remain unclear. This study investigated the factors involved in epiglottic inversion, including head and neck alignment and pharyngeal anatomy, in patients with dysphagia. Patients with a chief complaint of dysphagia and who underwent videofluoroscopic swallowing study at our hospital from January to July 2022 were enrolled. They were divided into three groups based on the degree of epiglottic inversion as the complete-inversion (CI), partial-inversion (PI), and non-inversion group (NI) groups. Data were compared among the three groups; a total of 113 patients were analyzed. The median age was 72.0 (IQR: 62.0-76.0) years; 41 (36.3%) and 72 (63.7%) were women and men, respectively. There were in 45 (39.8%) patients in the CI, 39 (34.5%) in the PI, and 29 (25.7%) in the NI groups, respectively. Single-variable analysis revealed significant relation to epiglottic inversion of Food Intake LEVEL Scale score, penetration-aspiration score with 3-mL thin liquid bolus, epiglottic vallecula and pyriform sinus residue, hyoid position and displacement during swallowing, pharyngeal inlet angle (PIA), epiglottis to posterior pharyngeal wall distance, and body mass index. Logistic regression analysis with complete epiglottic inversion as the dependent variable revealed the X coordinate at maximum hyoid elevation position during swallowing and PIA as significant explanatory variables. These results suggest that epiglottic inversion is constrained in patients with dysphagia who have poor head and neck alignment or posture and a narrow pharyngeal cavity just before swallowing.

BACKGROUND: Chewing and licking are primarily activated by central pattern generator (CPG) neuronal circuits in the brainstem and when activated trigger repetitive rhythmic orofacial movements such as chewing, licking and swallowing. These CPGs are reported to modulate orofacial reflex responses in functions such as chewing. OBJECTIVE: This study explored the modulation of reflex responses in the anterior and posterior bellies (ant-Dig and post-Dig, respectively) of the digastric muscle evoked by low-intensity trigeminal stimulation in conscious rats. METHODS: The ant-Dig and post-Dig reflexes were evoked by using low-intensity electrical stimulation applied to either the right or left inferior alveolar nerve. Peak-to-peak amplitudes and onset latencies were measured. RESULTS: No difference was observed between threshold and onset latency for evoking ant-Dig and post-Dig reflexes, suggesting that the latter was also evoked disynaptically. The peak-to-peak amplitude of both reflexes was significantly reduced during chewing, licking and swallowing as compared to resting period and was lowest during the jaw-closing phase of chewing and licking. Onset latency was significantly largest during the jaw-closing phase. Inhibitory level was similar between the ant-Dig and post-Dig reflex responses and between the ipsilateral and contralateral sides. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that both the ant-Dig and post-Dig reflex responses were significantly inhibited, probably due to CPG activation during feeding behaviours to maintain coordination of jaw and hyoid movements and hence ensure smooth feeding mechanics.

BACKGROUND: Lingual pressure (LP) generation is cooperatively controlled not only by the intrinsic tongue (I-ton) muscles but also by hyoid muscle activation. However, the measurement of endurance and fatigue properties of I-ton muscles is difficult due to the instability of electrodes. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to apply suction electrodes to measure electromyograms (EMGs) of I-ton muscle and to evaluate integrated EMG amplitude (iEMG) and mean power frequency (MPF) of EMG in the I-ton and hyoid muscles performing continuous LP. METHODS: Twenty healthy adult volunteers (10 males, 10 females, mean age 28.8 years) were instructed to perform 10-s LP generation tasks at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of maximum LP in randomised order with visual feedback. During each task, EMGs of the I-ton, suprahyoid (S-hyo), infrahyoid (I-hyo) and masseter (Mass) muscles were simultaneously recorded. The iEMG and MPF of EMG burst during 10-s LP tasks were compared. The recording period was divided into three substages to analyse temporal changes with the Friedman test. RESULTS: During the 10-s task, the iEMG significantly increased as the LP strength increased (p < .001). There was no time-dependent change in the I-ton iEMG; however, the MPF of the I-ton EMG burst decreased in all tasks (p < .05). The S-hyo and I-hyo iEMGs gradually increased, especially with strong LP (p < .01). CONCLUSION: While I-ton muscles may easily fatigue during 10-s LP generation, S-hyo and I-hyo muscles may help compensate for the weakened I-ton muscle activity by increasing their activity to maintain LP.

INTRODUCTION: Declining oral function may affect subsequent physical frailty in the older population. The aim of this longitudinal study was to summarise data on patients who underwent functional oral examination and evaluate the impact of management on patients with oral hypofunction (OHF). METHODS: Dental outpatients aged over 65 years at their initial visit to the Niigata University Hospital received detailed assessment of seven oral function items to diagnose oral hypofunction using diagnostic criteria defined by the Japanese Society of Gerodontology. Patients with OHF at the first assessment received management including oral health guidance for low function and dental treatment. They were re-evaluated approximately 6 months later and the two assessments were compared. According to the results of the second assessment, the patients were divided into two groups: OHF improved and OHF re-diagnosed. RESULTS: Of the 273 patients who underwent the first assessment, 86 (31.5%) were diagnosed with OHF and received management. Of those, 42 (48.8%) completed the second assessment. Comparing the first and second assessment, significant improvement was observed in oral hygiene, occlusal force, tongue-lip motor function of /pa/, mastication and swallowing. The change in values from the first assessment demonstrated a significant difference between the OHF improved and re-diagnosed groups only in occlusal force. CONCLUSION: Management for patients with OHF can contribute to the improvement of poor oral function, and an increase in occlusal force was notable in the recovery from OHF.

When eating, mastication is always followed by swallowing. The present study assessed the effect of mastication on swallowing-related neural pathways in humans. Twenty healthy volunteers participated and underwent baseline transcranial magnetic stimulation to evaluate cortico-pharyngeal and cortico-hand motor-evoked potentials (MEPs). Next, they performed a chewing task and a swallowing task. Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that pharyngeal MEPs were significantly higher after the swallowing task than after the chewing task, even though the number of swallows across tasks was matched. This implies that chewing movements suppress swallowing-related activity in the pharyngeal motor circuit.

BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction for dysphagia recovery is essential for rehabilitation treatment planning. Several studies have reported various predictors for resuming oral feeding after post-stroke dysphagia. However, evidence on oral health and function, a crucial part of feeding, has rarely been reported. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify the oral status-related factors that could predict oral intake resumption in acute stroke patients. METHODS: 80 acute stroke patients with dysphagia were included. Clinical data, including the changes of general condition, oral and swallowing functions, were collected once a week until discharge. Patients were divided into two groups based on the outcome of the food intake level scale at discharge, and data were compared between the groups. RESULTS: 60 patients had regained complete oral intake before discharge. Multiple logistic regression showed that posterior tongue pressure could significantly predict complete oral intake recovery. Tongue pressure and modified water swallowing test score also significantly influenced diet forms. In addition, Spearman correlation analysis showed that improvement of other oral status-related factors, such as oral moisture and dentition status, also indicated the improvement of diet forms and swallowing function during the hospital stay. CONCLUSION: Tongue pressure measurement could be a useful oral status-related indicator for predicting complete oral intake and adjusting diet forms for acute stroke patients during hospitalization. Acute stroke patients should receive proper oral status evaluation and implementation to enhance functional recovery.

It still remains unclear how the suprahyoid muscles function in bolus formation during mastication. This study aimed to investigate the contributory role of the suprahyoid muscles during mastication. A total of 20 healthy young volunteers were asked to perform tongue pressure generation tasks and unilateral mastication tasks using peanuts and two different types of rice crackers. Surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masseter and suprahyoid muscles and mandibular kinematics were recorded. Suprahyoid activity increased with increasing tongue pressure. Masticatory duration until the first deglutition differed significantly among the different foods; the harder the food, the longer the duration. This was also the case in masseter activity per masticatory cycle. Masticatory rate and suprahyoid activity per masticatory cycle were significantly higher during soft rice cracker mastication. Masseter activity was higher on the masticatory side than on the non-masticatory side, however, there was no difference in suprahyoid activity between the sides. Suprahyoid activity and jaw gape showed significant positive correlation in the early stage on both the masticatory and non-masticatory sides. The suprahyoid muscles functioned dominantly for jaw-opening during peanut mastication, and for bolus formation, especially in the late stage during soft rice cracker mastication. Bolus formation was performed dominantly on the masticatory side during rice cracker mastication. These findings clearly demonstrate a functional role of the suprahyoid muscles during mastication of solid foods from assessments using both EMG activity and mandibular kinematic recordings.

Our previous studies implicated the voltage-gated sodium channel subtype NaV 1.7 in the transmission of action potentials by the vagal afferent nerves regulating cough and thus identified this channel as a rational therapeutic target for antitussive therapy. But it is presently unclear whether a systemically administered small molecule inhibitor of NaV 1.7 conductance can achieve therapeutic benefit in the absence of side effects on cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal motility or respiration. To this end, we have evaluated the antitussive effects of the NaV 1.7 selective blocker Compound 801 administered systemically in awake guinea pigs or administered topically in anesthetized guinea pigs. We also evaluated the antitussive effects of ambroxol, a low affinity NaV blocker modestly selective for tetrodotoxin resistant NaV subtypes. Both Compound 801 and ambroxol dose-dependently inhibited action potential conduction in guinea pig vagus nerves (assessed by compound potential), with ambroxol nearly 100-fold less potent than the NaV 1.7 selective Compound 801 in this and other NaV 1.7-dependent guinea pig and human tissue-based assays. Both drugs also inhibited citric acid evoked coughing in awake or anesthetized guinea pigs, with potencies supportive of an NaV 1.7-dependent mechanism. Notably, however, the antitussive effects of systemically administered Compound 801 were accompanied by hypotension and respiratory depression. Given the antitussive effects of topically administered Compound 801, we speculate that the likely insurmountable side effects on blood pressure and respiratory drive associated with systemic dosing make topical formulations a viable and perhaps unavoidable therapeutic strategy for targeting NaV 1.7 in cough.

BACKGROUND: Oral hypofunction is defined as the reversible stage preceding oral dysfunction. However, its assessment and management need further examination and consideration. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to examine the current state of oral hypofunction among outpatients at the university hospital. METHODS: New outpatients underwent medical interviews and detailed assessment of oral hypofunction at their initial visit to our dental department. Oral hypofunction was diagnosed if the results of three of the following seven assessment items were below cut-off values: poor oral hygiene, oral dryness, reduced occlusal force, decreased tongue-lip motor function, decreased tongue pressure, decreased masticatory function and deterioration of swallowing function. The relationships between factors used to diagnose oral hypofunction as well as the distributions of assessment values were clarified. RESULTS: Seventy-five of 209 patients (35.9%) were finally diagnosed with oral hypofunction. Diagnosis of oral hypofunction was significantly related to patient age, Eichner index, a chief complaint of dental or periodontal disease or ill-fitting dentures and a history of neurodegenerative disease. The lowest quintile values for poor oral hygiene, oral dryness and decreased masticatory performance were all above current cut-off values. Reduced occlusal force contributed strongly to the diagnosis of oral hypofunction. CONCLUSION: Oral hypofunction in dental outpatients at a university hospital was associated with patient age, medical history and chief complaint at presentation. Diagnosis of oral hypofunction can be closely related to reduced occlusal force. The validity of cut-off values for assessments of oral hypofunction needs further consideration.

Physical inactivity is one of the causes of most metabolic syndromes. The incidence of metabolic syndrome is expected to increase in the near future because of the reduced opportunities for exercise caused by COVID-19. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease. Changes in diet and lifestyle have led to a dramatic increase in the prevalence of NAFLD in the world. NAFLD is characterized by excessive triglyceride (TG) accumulation in the hepatocytes due to both increased inflow of free fatty acids and de novo hepatic lipogenesis. Thus far, no study quantitatively assessed the liver fat deposition after a rapid decline in physical activity. Herein, we describe a case of a 17-year-old Japanese boy with severe fat infiltration of the liver, due to a rapid decline in physical activity, treated at our facility. Our rehabilitation and nutritional support teams administered appropriate exercise and nutrition support to reduce weight and improve liver dysfunction. Our findings support dietary changes and exercise therapy to manage such cases.

We investigated how swallowing behaviors are affected by the temperature and carbonation of water in healthy humans. Twenty-nine healthy volunteers were instructed to drink as much natural water, carbonated water, or cider as they wanted, and we recorded the volume of solution swallowed and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the masseter and suprahyoid muscles. Sensory tests regarding the ease of holding the solution in the mouth and ease of swallowing were also performed. The volume of carbonated water swallowed was significantly lower than that of natural water and cider. The ease of holding and swallowing the solution significantly differed between solution types such that natural water was the easiest solution to hold and swallow, followed by cider and then carbonated water in both tests. EMG activity was also affected by the solution type. Masseter EMG activity was significantly lower when swallowing natural water compared with carbonated water. Suprahyoid EMG activity was significantly lower when swallowing natural water compared with carbonated water and cider. The volume of solution swallowed was significantly correlated with the ease of holding and swallowing the solution, but not with masseter or suprahyoid EMG activities. The ease of holding and swallowing the solution significantly affected masseter and suprahyoid EMG activities. The results suggested that when participants experienced difficulty holding and swallowing the solution, masseter and suprahyoid EMG activity increased. Considering our findings that mechanical stimulation with bubbles decreased the volume of solution swallowed and increased EMG activities, carbonated water swallowing may be useful in treating deglutition disorders.

There is wide variation in chewing behaviours, even among healthy humans. Further, the way in which humans determine swallowing initiation when chewing solid foods remains unclear. The current study sought to investigate how the bolus properties change over time during chewing, and to clarify which factors affect chewing and swallowing behaviours, including swallowing initiation, in healthy humans. Twenty-four healthy volunteers were instructed to chew 8 g of steamed rice and spit it out at 50%, 100% and 150% of their own chewing duration, defined as the time of chewing from onset of the first chewing cycle to onset of the first swallow. Chewing and swallowing behaviours were monitored and determined by visual inspection of video recordings. The physical properties such as hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness as well as water content of the bolus were measured. In each subject, maximum bite force, tongue pressure and stimulated salivary flow rate were also measured. Hardness gradually decreased, and the cohesiveness and water content of the bolus did not change up to 50% of chewing duration, followed by a slight but significant increase. The adhesiveness of the bolus rapidly decreased at the beginning of chewing. Chewing duration was significantly related to stimulated salivary flow rate; greater salivary flow rate was associated with shorter chewing duration. Variation of chewing duration and swallowing initiation was not dependent on bolus properties during the chewing of steamed rice, but mainly depended on the surface lubrication of the bolus.

The factors affecting the survival of patients with aspiration pneumonia (AP) remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether factors, including oral status, swallowing function, and oral intake level, were related to survival outcomes in older patients hospitalized for AP. The study enrolled patients with AP who were admitted to our hospital between February 2017 and November 2019. Patients were divided into two groups based on the 90-day mortality after the first swallowing function evaluation: survivors and deceased. The data were compared between the two groups. A total of 29 patients were diagnosed with AP. Of these patients, 13 died within 90 days. The numbers of patients who could not use removable dentures and required sputum suctioning and had cough reflex at rest were significantly higher in the deceased than in the survivors. The salivary pooling and pharyngeal clearance scores evaluated by videoendoscopy, International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative Functional Diet Scale score determined after swallowing function evaluation, and consciousness level were significantly worse in the deceased than in the survivors. There were significant differences in patients' oral status, swallowing function, oral intake level, and consciousness level between the survivors and deceased.

BACKGROUND: Thermal tactile oropharyngeal stimulation has been clinically used to facilitate swallowing initiation in dysphagic patients. We previously demonstrated that thermal stimulation applied to the oral cavity provokes an immediate excitability in pharyngeal motor cortex. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether thermal stimulation can produce longer lasting effects on the corticopharyngeal neural pathway. METHODS: Healthy volunteers (n = 8/12) underwent baseline pharyngeal motor evoked potential (PMEP) measurements evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation. In the first experiment, subjects received thermal stimulation alternating 30 seconds of 15 and 36°C applied to the tongue surface for either 10 minutes, 5 minutes, or sham. In the second experiment, one of three intermittent thermal stimulus patterns was delivered: cold (alternating 30 seconds of 15 and 36°C), warm (continuous 36°C), or hot (alternating 30 seconds of 45 and 36°C) for 10 minutes. In both experiments, PMEP were remeasured every 15 minutes up to 60 minutes following thermal stimulation. KEY RESULTS: Repeated measures ANOVA for each stimulus time in the first experiment showed a significant increased change in PMEP amplitude at 30 minutes following only 10-minute stimulation compared with sham (P < .05). In the second experiment, we found that cold stimulation was more effective than the other stimulation (P < .05) at increasing PMEP amplitudes. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: Ten-minute cold stimulation on the tongue can induce a delayed (30 minutes) increase in pharyngeal cortical excitability, providing a clinically useful therapeutic window for its application in dysphagic patients.

Examining the coordination of respiration and swallowing is important for elucidating the mechanisms underlying these functions and assessing how respiration is linked to swallowing impairment in dysphagic patients. In this study, we assessed the coordination of respiration and swallowing to clarify how voluntary swallowing is coordinated with respiration and how mastication modulates the coordination of respiration and swallowing in healthy humans. Twenty-one healthy volunteers participated in three experiments. The participants were asked to swallow 3 ml of water with or without a cue, to drink 100 ml of water using a cup without breathing between swallows, and to eat a 4-g portion of corned beef. The major coordination pattern of respiration and swallowing was expiration-swallow-expiration (EE type) while swallowing 3 ml of water either with or without a cue, swallowing 100 ml of water, and chewing. Although cueing did not affect swallowing movements, the expiratory time was lengthened with the cue. During 100-ml water swallowing, the respiratory cycle time and expiratory time immediately before swallowing were significantly shorter compared with during and after swallowing, whereas the inspiratory time did not differ throughout the recording period. During chewing, the respiratory cycle time was decreased in a time-dependent manner, probably because of metabolic demand. The coordination of the two functions is maintained not only in voluntary swallowing but also in involuntary swallowing during chewing. Understanding the mechanisms underlying respiration and swallowing is important for evaluating how coordination affects physiological swallowing in dysphagic patients.

BACKGROUND: To date, there have been few guidelines proposed for adjustment of the food consistency, particularly to match the oral function of older adults, which will guide clinicians and caregivers in appropriately modifying food. OBJECTIVE: We investigated how oral, swallowing, and cognitive conditions of older adults who required daily nursing care in a nursing home were associated with different dietary food consistencies. METHODS: Clinical examinations to record dentition status, swallowing, and cognitive functions were performed, and the feeding status, including the food consistencies and need for assistance at lunchtime, was evaluated in 37 older residents in nursing homes. The swallowing function was assessed by performing a modified water-swallowing test, and food swallowing was tested using pudding and rice crackers. The χ2 test was used to determine the relationships among the parameters. RESULTS: No participants were able to take cooked rice, nor regular and soft side dishes. There was no significant relationship between dentition status and feeding status. Of the participants, 95% ate pudding without any problems and 49% ate rice crackers without any signs of swallowing difficulty such as coughing or stopping chewing. There was a significant relationship between the food test score using a rice cracker and the level of food consistencies, and between the same test score and the level of mealtime assistance, whereby the better the score of the food test using a rice cracker, the better was the level of food consistencies including use of a thickening agent and the better was the level of mealtime assistance. CONCLUSION: The results strongly suggest that the food test using a rice cracker was associated with the level of food consistency and mealtime assistance for older adults in nursing homes.

We investigated how the physical properties of food affect chewing kinematics, and examined the effects of aging on behavior. Twenty young and 21 older volunteers were asked to freely chew rice crackers and spit the food out at their average chewing duration. We compared chewing characteristics among the conditions (age × rice cracker), and examined the area of rectified masseter and suprahyoid electromyographic bursts per chewing cycle. We also evaluated temporal changes in those values. In addition, the bolus properties at the end of chewing were compared. The harder/larger the rice cracker, the longer the chewing duration and the greater the number of chewing cycles. These values also increased with age. Chewing cycle time was not affected by age and rice cracker properties, except in one condition: for the rice cracker with the lowest hardness and density, the chewing cycle time was longer than for the other rice crackers. Chewing cycle time decreased at the middle stage of chewing, followed by an increase, with increasing suprahyoid electromyographic activity at the late stage. The physical properties of the bolus at the end of chewing did not differ between age groups, and depended on the initial properties. The water absorption rate of the bolus was significantly greater for the rice cracker with the lowest hardness and density compared with other rice crackers. The results demonstrated that not only hardness, but also other factors, such as density, significantly affected chewing behaviors.

A major component of gastric acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which can activate transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). In the present study, we investigated how sustained laryngeal TRPV1 activation affects the frequency of the swallowing reflex. Experiments were carried out on 85 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects of short and sustained application of chemicals (3 µl of 0.1 N HCl or capsaicin) on the frequency of swallowing and of time-dependent changes in the occurrence of swallowing evoked by supralaryngeal nerve stimulation were determined. To evaluate vascular permeability of the larynx, Evans blue dye was intravenously injected after 5 or 60 min of sustained TRPV1 activation. SB366791 (a TRPV1 inhibitor) and Cap/QX-314 (a TRPV1-expressed neuronal inhibitor) significantly inhibited HCl/capsaicin-induced swallowing, but air flow-induced swallowing was not affected. Although the number of air flow-induced swallows induced by capsaicin stimulation was not affected within 5 min, but significantly reduced by 60-min capsaicin or HCl application. The swallowing threshold associated with supralaryngeal nerve stimulation did not significantly change throughout the recording period. Evans blue dye concentrations in the larynx were significantly higher at 60 min in the 10-5 M capsaicin group than in the other groups. Our results suggest that sustained TPRV1 activation not only desensitizes TRPV1, but also inactivates mechanoreceptors, which may be attributed to increases in vascular permeability and edema, as part of an inflammatory process.

BACKGROUND: Tongue lift movement (TLM) is used as a therapy to improve tongue pressure against the hard palate for dysphagic patients. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to characterize the time-dependent endurance changes in hyoid muscle activity and hyoid-laryngeal displacement during TLM in different ways. METHODS: Sixteen young healthy volunteers were instructed to perform TLM at maximum effort (100%) against the anterior and posterior parts of the hard palate using a balloon-type tongue pressure instrument, followed by a 10-second recording during anterior 80% TLM, anterior 100% TLM, posterior 80% TLM and posterior 100% TLM with visual feedback. Electromyography (EMG) of suprahyoid (S-Hyo) and infrahyoid (I-Hyo) muscles and videofluorography were simultaneously recorded. To evaluate temporal changes, the recording period was divided into three substages: early, middle and late. Tongue pressure, integrated EMG (iEMG), power frequency of EMG burst and hyoid-laryngeal position were compared among the conditions (80% vs 100%, anterior vs posterior and early vs middle vs late). RESULTS: Tongue pressure was stably maintained for 10 seconds in all conditions. S-Hyo iEMG and I-Hyo iEMG were significantly greater at 100% than at 80%, while no significant difference was observed between positions. S-Hyo iEMG and I-Hyo iEMG significantly increased at the late stage, while power frequency of EMG burst gradually decreased. Significant temporal changes in laryngeal elevation were observed only in posterior 100% TLM. CONCLUSION: The current results suggested that isometric posterior TLM may be more useful compared with anterior TLM in clinical situations for dysphagic patients to elevate the hyolaryngeal complex.

BACKGROUND: There is a wide variation of chewing behaviors even in healthy humans. The present study was aimed to clarify how the rheological properties of the bolus during chewing is different among individuals. We also investigated if the swallowing threshold was consistent among the individuals and if the difference in the bolus properties at the swallowing affected swallowing movement. METHODS: Twenty-nine healthy volunteers were asked to ingest 8 g of steamed rice. Based on the chewing duration defined by the time until first swallow, participants were asked to chew the food, then either spit it out, or swallow it, at 50%, 100% and 150% of chewing duration. In seven volunteers, the maximum bite force was measured. RESULTS: The hardness of the bolus gradually decreased throughout recording. Although the chewing duration varied widely, there was a significant negative correlation between time and hardness, regardless of the difference in individual chewing duration. The cohesiveness of the bolus was unchanged at the 100% time point, followed by a slight but significant increase. There was no significant correlation between the chewing duration and adhesiveness of the bolus. Swallowing-related bursts of Supra and Infra EMGs were not related to the chewing duration or bolus properties, and chewing duration did not affect swallowing function. CONCLUSION: The current results suggest that the bolus properties such as the hardness and cohesiveness during chewing is just dependent on the chewing duration and the difference in the bolus properties does not affect the swallowing initiation and movement.

BACKGROUND: Tongue lift movement (TLM) task is considered a treatment strategy in dysphagic patients. However, there is no evidence of effect of sustained tongue movements on the related muscle contraction. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to characterise the properties and time-dependent changes of the electromyographic (EMG) features of suprahyoid muscles during TLM. METHODS: Twenty young healthy volunteers were instructed to perform TLM at maximum effort in either the anterior or the posterior position, during measurement of tongue pressure for 7 s. Supra- (S-hyo) and infra-hyoid (I-hyo) EMGs were recorded. The area and power frequency of EMG burst and the area under the curve of tongue pressure were compared among the conditions: trials (1st, 2nd vs 3rd trials); anterior vs posterior TLM; and early vs late 3 s of each trial. RESULTS: There was no difference in the tongue pressure among trials or between the early and late 3 s. Anterior tongue pressure was significantly higher than posterior tongue pressure (P < .001). The area of I-hyo EMG burst was significantly larger (P = .044), and the power frequency of I-hyo EMG burst was significantly smaller (P = .042) during posterior TLM than anterior TLM. A significant difference in the power frequency of both EMG bursts was observed between early and late stages during both anterior (P < .05) and posterior (P < .01) TLM. CONCLUSION: Hyoid muscles may compensate for rapid fatigue of the tongue muscle to maintain tongue pressure by changing their activity pattern during tongue pressure generation.

Swallowing has a vital function in airway protection and is the next step after mastication. Swallowing impairment, which is known as dysphagia, is frequently accompanied by pain. Previous clinical studies have shown that orofacial pain affects swallowing function. Thus, it was hypothesized that orofacial noxious inputs may modulate swallowing function. Previous studies using anesthetized animals has proposed that the facial skin-nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), masseter muscle-NTS, lingual muscle-NTS, and lingual muscle-paratrigeminal nucleus-NTS pathways may be involved in the inhibition of swallowing caused by facial, masseter, and lingual pain. Moreover, the activation of gamma-aminobutyric acidergic NTS neurons is involved in the inhibition of the swallowing reflex following trigeminal noxious inputs. This review focused on the recent management of dysphagia, neural mechanisms of swallowing, and relationship between orofacial pain and swallowing function. This and other future studies in this field can provide a better understanding of both normal and impaired swallowing and can help develop a new approach to treat patients with dysphagia and orofacial pain.

Coughing, huffing and swallowing protect the airway from aspiration. This study was conducted to compare the physical properties of voluntary coughing, huffing and swallowing in healthy subjects. Ten healthy men were asked to huff, cough and swallow repeatedly. Electromyograms (EMGs) were recorded from the left side of the external oblique (EO), sternocleidomastoid, suprahyoid (SH) and thyrohyoid muscles. Airflow was recorded using a face mask with two-way non-rebreathing valves. The expiratory velocity of huffing and coughing and the SH EMG of all actions presented high intraclass correlation coefficients (> 0.8). The inspiratory and expiratory velocities did not differ significantly between coughing and huffing. The expiratory acceleration of coughing was significantly higher than that of huffing, whereas the expiratory volume of coughing was significantly smaller than that of huffing. The EO EMG of coughing and huffing were significantly larger than that of swallowing. The EO EMG activity during the expiratory phase was significantly higher than that of the other phases of both coughing and huffing. The SH EMG of coughing and huffing were significantly smaller than that of swallowing. Correlation analysis revealed that the expiratory velocity of coughing was strongly positively correlated with that of huffing. The expiratory volume of huffing was significantly positively correlated with hand grip strength. These results suggest that EO and SH muscle activities during huffing or coughing differ those during swallowing, and huffing and coughing may work similarly in expiratory function.

We examined how attention alters chewing and swallowing behaviors. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were asked to freely eat 8 g of steamed rice in three separate trials, and we obtained the average number of chewing cycles (N) and chewing duration (T) prior to the first swallow in each trial. We also conducted an N-limited test, in which participants chewed the food while independently counting the number of chewing cycles and swallowed the food when they reached N, and a T-limited test, in which they chewed the food for T sec and then swallowed. We recorded electromyograms (EMGs) from masseter and suprahyoid muscles and collected videoendoscopic images. In the N-limited test, chewing speed decreased, masseter muscle activity (area under the curve of the rectified EMG burst) per cycle increased, and suprahyoid muscle activity per cycle decreased. In the T-limited test, the chewing speed increased, muscle activities per cycle decreased, and the number of cycles increased. The occurrence frequency of bolus propulsion into the pharynx before swallowing was smaller in the N- and T-limited tests than in the free chewing test. Further, the whiteout time was longer in the T-limited test than in the free chewing test. Attentional chewing changes not only chewing but also swallowing behavior.

This study aimed to investigate whether the jaw-opening (JOR) and jaw-closing reflexes (JCR) are modulated during not only peripherally, but also centrally, evoked swallowing. Experiments were carried out on 24 adult male Japanese white rabbits. JORs were evoked by trigeminal stimulation at 1 Hz for 30 s. In the middle 10 s, either the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) or cortical swallowing area (Cx) was simultaneously stimulated to evoke swallowing. The peak-to-peak JOR amplitude was reduced during the middle and late 10-s periods (i.e., during and after SLN or Cx stimulation), and the reduction was dependent on the current intensity of SLN/Cx stimulation: greater SLN/Cx stimulus current resulted in greater JOR inhibition. The reduction rate was significantly greater during Cx stimulation than during SLN stimulation. The amplitude returned to baseline 2 min after 10-s SLN/Cx stimulation. The effect of co-stimulation of SLN and Cx was significantly greater than that of SLN stimulation alone. There were no significant differences in any parameters of the JCR between conditions. These results clearly showed that JOR responses were significantly suppressed, not only during peripherally evoked swallowing but also during centrally evoked swallowing, and that the inhibitory effect is likely to be larger during centrally compared with peripherally evoked swallowing. The functional implications of these results are discussed.

Swallowing pressure generation is important to ensure safe transport of an ingested bolus without aspiration or leaving residue in the pharynx. To clarify the mechanism, we measured swallowing pressure at the oropharynx (OP), upper esophageal sphincter (UES), and cervical esophagus (CE) using a specially designed manometric catheter in anesthetized rats. A swallow, evoked by punctate mechanical stimulation to the larynx, was identified by recording activation of the suprahyoid and thyrohyoid muscles using electromyography (EMG). Areas under the curve of the swallowing pressure at the OP, UES, and CE from two trials indicated high intrasubject reproducibility. Effects of transecting the hypoglossal nerve (12N) and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) on swallowing were investigated. Following bilateral hypoglossal nerve transection (Bi-12Nx), OP pressure was significantly decreased, and time intervals between peaks of thyrohyoid EMG bursts and OP pressure were significantly shorter. Decreased OP pressure and shortened times between peaks of thyrohyoid EMG bursts and OP pressure following Bi-12Nx were significantly increased and longer, respectively, after covering the hard and soft palates with acrylic material. UES pressure was significantly decreased after bilateral RLN transection compared with that before transection. These results suggest that the 12N and RLN play crucial roles in OP and UES pressure during swallowing, respectively. We speculate that covering the palates with a palatal augmentation prosthesis may reverse the reduced swallowing pressure in patients with 12N or tongue damage by the changes of the sensory information and of the contact between the tongue and a palates. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Hypoglossal nerve transection reduced swallowing pressure at the oropharynx. Covering the hard and soft palates with acrylic material may reverse the reduced swallowing function caused by hypoglossal nerve damage. Recurrent laryngeal nerve transection reduced upper esophageal sphincter negative pressure during swallowing.

Surface electrical stimulation of the laryngeal region is used to improve swallowing in dysphagic patients. However, little is known about how electrical stimulation affects tongue movements and related functions. We investigated the effect of electrical stimulation on tongue pressure and hyoid movement, as well as suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscle activity, in 18 healthy young participants. Electrical stimulation (0.2-ms duration, 80 Hz, 80% of each participant's maximal tolerance) of the laryngeal region was applied. Each subject swallowed 5 ml of barium sulfate liquid 36 times at 10-s intervals. During the middle 2 min, electrical stimulation was delivered. Tongue pressure, electromyographic activity of the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles, and videofluorographic images were simultaneously recorded. Tongue pressure during stimulation was significantly lower than before or after stimulation and was significantly greater after stimulation than at baseline. Suprahyoid activity after stimulation was larger than at baseline, while infrahyoid muscle activity did not change. During stimulation, the position of the hyoid at rest was descended, the highest hyoid position was significantly inferior, and the vertical movement was greater than before or after stimulation. After stimulation, the positions of the hyoid at rest and at the maximum elevation were more superior than before stimulation. The deviation of the highest positions of the hyoid before and after stimulation corresponded to the differences in tongue pressures at those times. These results suggest that surface electrical stimulation applied to the laryngeal region during swallowing may facilitate subsequent hyoid movement and tongue pressure generation after stimulation. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Surface electrical stimulation applied to the laryngeal region during swallowing may facilitate subsequent hyoid movement and tongue pressure generation after stimulation. Tongue muscles may contribute to overshot recovery more than hyoid muscles.

Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PEStim) has been found to facilitate voluntary swallowing. This study investigated how PEStim contributed to modulation of swallowing function in 15 healthy humans. In the involuntary swallowing test, water was injected onto the pharynx at 0.05 ml/s and the onset latency of the first swallow was measured. In the voluntary swallowing test, subjects swallowed their own saliva as quickly as possible for 30 s and the number of swallows was counted. Voluntary and involuntary swallowing was evaluated before (baseline), immediately after, and every 10 min after 10-min PEStim for 60 min. A voluntary swallowing test with simultaneous 30-s PEStim was also conducted before and 60 min after 10-min PEStim. The number of voluntary swallows with simultaneous PEStim significantly increased over 60 min after 10-min PEStim compared with the baseline. The onset latency of the first swallow in the involuntary swallowing test was not affected by 10-min PEStim. The results suggest that PEStim may have a long-term facilitatory effect on the initiation of voluntary swallowing in healthy humans, but not on peripherally-evoked swallowing. The physiological implications of this modulation are discussed.

頭頸部癌術後は、高頻度に摂食嚥下障害を生じる。今回、舌癌術後に摂食嚥下障害を生じ、リハビリテーションによる食形態や姿勢の調整によって経口摂取が可能となった症例を経験したので報告する。症例は68歳の男性。舌亜全摘術、両側頸部郭清術、腹直筋皮弁再建術、気管切開術、胃瘻造設術後、放射線治療開始と同時にN大学医歯学総合病院摂食嚥下機能回復部に紹介受診となった。初診時、頸部拘縮、舌切除による創部瘢痕化を伴う口腔移送不良・鼻咽腔閉鎖不全・咽頭収縮不全を認めた。嚥下内視鏡検査と嚥下造影検査により、リクライニング60度、左側臥位・右側頸部回旋位にてとろみ付液体2ccの食道流入が可能なことを確認して、毎日の間接訓練および代償法を用いた直接訓練を開始した。術後放射線治療の影響による口腔粘膜炎は自制内であり、訓練手技を獲得して耐久性が向上した介入29日目より食事開始、介入35日目には口腔移送改善を目的として舌接触補助床を用いた訓練を開始したものの、違和感や嘔気が強く常時使用にはいたらなかった。今後は、経口摂取のみでの栄養確保、歯科補綴学的アプローチによる口腔準備期の改善も可能であると考えている。(著者抄録)

味覚刺激が嚥下運動にどのような変化を与えるかについて調べることを目的として、異なる濃度の塩味またはうま味溶液を口腔内に微量注入した時の随意性嚥下運動を記録した。健常成人29名を対象として、出来るだけ早く繰り返し嚥下するよう指示し、その際に咽頭または口腔への溶液刺激(0.2mL/min)を与えた。咽頭への溶液刺激は蒸留水または0.3 M NaCl溶液とし、口腔への溶液刺激は蒸留水または3種類のNaイオン濃度(6mM、40mM、240mM)のうま味溶液(モル濃度比2対1のグルタミン酸ナトリウムとイノシン酸ナトリウム混合溶液)、うま味溶液と同濃度のNaイオンを含むNaCl溶液とした。測定開始後4から9回目までの各嚥下間の平均時間を嚥下間隔時間として各条件間で比較した。NaCl溶液、蒸留水いずれの咽頭刺激においても嚥下間隔時間の顕著な個人差が認められた。NaCl溶液刺激時の嚥下間隔時間は蒸留水よりも有意に長く、咽頭の水受容器による嚥下反射誘発促進効果、NaCl溶液による水受容器応答の抑制が確認された。さらにNaCl溶液刺激時の嚥下間隔時間が長い被験者ほど蒸留水刺激による随意性嚥下の促進効果が高かった。一方、口腔への溶液刺激では、うま味溶液刺激時のみ蒸留水に対して有意な短縮を認めた。随意性嚥下能力の高い順から上位群、中位群、下位群ごとに嚥下間隔時間の変化を調べたところ、上位群、下位群では各溶液の濃度の違いによる有意な差は認められなかったのに対して、中位群のみ溶液濃度が高くなるに従って嚥下間隔時間の短縮を認めた。以上の結果は、中位群におけるうま味成分がもつ随意性嚥下への促進効果を示唆するものである。随意性嚥下誘発能力の個人差をもとに、末梢入力に対する嚥下運動誘発の時間間隔を比較したところ、咽頭刺激時とは異なっていたことから、口腔への味覚刺激がもつ嚥下中枢への効果は単なる加重効果として捉えられず、その効果の作用機序の理解に向けてはさらなる議論が必要である。(著者抄録)
