Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are used to produce various commercial products with aromas mimicking natural products. The VOCs responsible for aromas have been identified from many natural products. The current major strategy is to analyze chemical compositions and aroma qualities of individual VOCs using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and GC-olfactometry. However, such analyses cannot determine whether candidate VOCs contribute to the characteristic aroma in mixtures of many VOCs. In this study, we developed a GC/MS-based VOC collection/omission system that can modify the VOC compositions of samples easily and rapidly. The system is composed of GC/MS with a switching unit that can change gas flow routes between MS and a VOC collection device. We first applied this system to prepare gas samples for omission tests, and the aroma qualities of VOC mixtures with and without some VOCs were evaluated by panelists. If aroma qualities were different between the 2 samples, the omitted VOCs were likely key odorants. By collecting VOCs in a gas bag attached to the collection device and transferring some VOCs to MS, specific VOCs could be omitted easily from the VOC mixture. The system could prepare omission samples without chemical identification, preparation of each VOC, and laborious techniques for mixing VOCs, thus overcoming the limitations of previous methods of sample preparation. Finally, the system was used to prepare artificial aromas by replacing VOC compositions between different samples for screening of key odorants. In conclusion, the system developed here can improve aroma research by identifying key odorants from natural products.

许多挥发性有机化合物(VOC)被用来生产各种具有模仿天然产品香气的商业产品。已从许多天然产品中确定了产生香气的挥发性有机化合物。目前的主要策略是使用气相色谱/质谱法(GC/MS)和气相色谱-olfactometry 分析单个 VOC 的化学成分和香气品质。然而,此类分析无法确定候选挥发性有机化合物是否促成了多种挥发性有机化合物混合物的特征香气。在本研究中,我们开发了一种基于气相色谱/质谱的挥发性有机化合物收集/释放系统,该系统可轻松快速地改变样品中的挥发性有机化合物成分。该系统由气相色谱仪/质谱仪和切换装置组成,切换装置可改变质谱仪和挥发性有机化合物收集装置之间的气流路径。我们首先应用该系统制备气体样品进行省略测试,并由专家小组对含有和不含某些挥发性有机化合物的挥发性有机化合物混合物的香气品质进行评估。如果两个样本的香气品质不同,则被遗漏的 VOC 很可能是关键的气味物质。通过将挥发性有机化合物收集到与收集装置相连的气袋中,并将部分挥发性有机化合物转移到质谱仪中,就可以轻松地从挥发性有机化合物混合物中省略特定的挥发性有机化合物。该系统可以制备省略样品,而无需进行化学鉴定、制备每种挥发性有机化合物以及费力的挥发性有机化合物混合技术,从而克服了以往样品制备方法的局限性。最后,该系统还可通过替换不同样品中的挥发性有机化合物成分来制备人工香气,从而筛选出关键的气味物质。总之,在此开发的系统可以从天然产品中识别关键气味物质,从而改进芳香研究。

Clinical assessment of an individual's sense of smell has gained prominence, but its resource-intensive nature necessitates the exploration of self-administered methods. In this study, a cohort of 68 patients with olfactory loss and 55 controls were assessed using a recently introduced olfactory test. This test involves sorting 2 odorants (eugenol and phenylethyl alcohol) in 5 dilutions according to odor intensity, with an average application time of 3.5 min. The sorting task score, calculated as the mean of Kendall's Tau between the assigned and true dilution orders and normalized to [0,1], identified a cutoff for anosmia at a score ≤ 0.7. This cutoff, which marks the 90th percentile of scores obtained with randomly ordered dilutions, had a balanced accuracy of 89% (78% to 97%) for detecting anosmia, comparable to traditional odor threshold assessments. Retest evaluations suggested a score difference of ±0.15 as a cutoff for clinically significant changes in olfactory function. In conclusion, the olfactory sorting test represents a simple, self-administered approach to the detection of anosmia or preserved olfactory function. With balanced accuracy similar to existing brief olfactory tests, this method offers a practical and user-friendly alternative for screening anosmia, addressing the need for resource-efficient assessments in clinical settings.

对个人嗅觉进行临床评估的重要性日益凸显,但由于其需要耗费大量资源,因此有必要对自测方法进行探索。在这项研究中,我们使用最近推出的嗅觉测试对 68 名嗅觉缺失患者和 55 名对照组进行了评估。该测试包括根据气味强度对五种稀释液中的两种气味(丁香酚、苯乙醇)进行分类,平均测试时间为 3.5 分钟。排序任务得分由指定稀释顺序和真实稀释顺序之间的 Kendall's Tau 平均值计算得出,并归一化为 [0,1]。该临界值是随机稀释顺序所得分数的第 90 百分位数,其检测嗅觉缺失的平衡准确率为 89%(78-97%),与传统的气味阈值评估相当。重测评估表明,± 0.15 的分数差异是嗅觉功能发生临床显著变化的临界值。总之,嗅觉分类测试是检测嗅觉失灵或嗅觉功能受损的一种简单、自我管理的方法。这种方法的平衡准确性与现有的简短嗅觉测试相似,为筛查嗅觉缺失症提供了一种实用且用户友好的替代方法,满足了临床环境中对资源节约型评估的需求。

In this study, the transfer of odorants, namely vanilla, and garlic, into the amniotic fluid (AF) during the second trimester was investigated by examination of collected AF samples through healthy adults. Eleven AF samples were collected from pregnant women (aged 32.9 ± 4.9 yr, 16-25 wk of gestation) undergoing diagnostic amniocentesis after eating garlic oil or vanilla powder in high-fat yogurt. The control group did not receive food before amniocentesis. Two vanilla, 3 garlic, and 6 control samples were collected through amniocentesis 60-120 min after ingestion. Samples were collected at -80 °C and carefully defrosted over 12 h at the same time point. Sixteen healthy volunteers (8 males, aged 26.5 ± 5.0 yr) were asked to judge AF samples with potential garlic or vanilla odors from controls in a 2-alternative forced choice (2AFC) paradigm. Judges were able to identify vanilla in the AF samples with an estimated probability of 50%, resulting in a significant P-value of < 0.001. In contrast, the identification of garlic was unsuccessful with a P-value of 0.86, and only 2 judges were able to identify both vanilla and garlic. According to the results of this study, the vanilla odor probably passes into the amniotic fluid.

Studies on taste bud cells and brain stem relay nuclei suggest that alternative pathways convey information regarding different taste qualities. Building on the hypothesis that amiloride (epithelial Na channel antagonist)-sensitive neurons respond to palatable salt (low-concentration) and amiloride-insensitive neurons respond to aversive salt (high-concentration), we investigated the histological distribution of taste-sensitive neurons in the rostral nucleus of the solitary tract in rats and their NaCl and amiloride sensitivities. We recorded neuronal activity in extracellular single units using multi-barrel glass micropipettes and reconstructed their locations on the rostrocaudal and mediolateral axes. Seventy-three taste-sensitive neurons were categorized into the best-taste category. The amiloride sensitivities of the 31 neurons were examined for 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 M NaCl. The neuronal distribution of amiloride-sensitive neurons was located in the lateral region, while amiloride-insensitive neurons were located in the medial region. The amiloride-sensitive neurons responded to low salt concentrations, signaling the NaCl levels required by body fluids. Amiloride-insensitive neurons were silent at low salt concentrations but may function as warning signals for high salt concentrations. Low-threshold and/or high-response neurons were located in the rostrolateral region. In contrast, high-threshold and/or low-response neurons were located in the caudal-medial region.

对味蕾细胞和脑干中继核的研究表明,不同的味觉质量有不同的信息传递途径。基于阿米洛利(上皮 Na 通道拮抗剂)敏感神经元对适口盐(低浓度)和阿米洛利不敏感神经元对厌恶盐(高浓度)反应的假设,我们研究了大鼠孤束喙核中味觉敏感神经元的组织学分布及其对 NaCl 和阿米洛利的敏感性。我们使用多管玻璃微量滴管记录了细胞外单个单元的神经元活动,并重建了它们在喙尾轴和内外侧轴上的位置。73个味觉敏感神经元被归入最佳味觉类别。对这 31 个神经元的阿米洛利敏感性进行了检测,检测浓度分别为 0.1、0.2、0.4 和 0.8 M NaCl。对阿米洛利敏感的神经元分布在外侧区域,而对阿米洛利不敏感的神经元分布在内侧区域。氨苯蝶啶敏感神经元对低盐浓度有反应,表明体液所需的氯化钠水平。氨苯蝶啶不敏感神经元在低盐浓度时保持沉默,但可能对高盐浓度起警示作用。低阈值和/或高反应神经元位于喙外侧区域。相反,高阈值和/或低反应神经元位于尾内侧区域。

Evidence for parental environments profoundly influencing the physiology, biology, and neurobiology of future generations has been accumulating in the literature. Recent efforts to understand this phenomenon and its underlying mechanisms have sought to use species like rodents and insects to model multi-generational legacies of parental experiences like stress and nutritional exposures. From these studies, we have come to appreciate that parental exposure to salient environmental experiences impacts the cadence of brain development, hormonal responses to stress, and the expression of genes that govern cellular responses to stress in offspring. Recent studies using chemosensory exposure have emerged as a powerful tool to shed new light on how future generations come to be influenced by environments to which parents are exposed. With a specific focus on studies that have leveraged such use of salient chemosensory experiences, this review synthesizes our current understanding of the concept, causes, and consequences of the inheritance of chemosensory legacies by future generations and how this field of inquiry informs the larger picture of how parental experiences can influence offspring biology.

父母的环境对后代的生理学、生物学和神经生物学产生深远影响的证据在文献中不断积累。最近,为了了解这一现象及其内在机制,人们试图利用啮齿动物和昆虫等物种来模拟压力和营养暴露等父母经历对后代的影响。从这些研究中,我们逐渐认识到,父母所接触的显著环境经历会影响后代的大脑发育、荷尔蒙对压力的反应以及支配细胞对压力反应的基因的表达。最近,利用化学感官暴露进行的研究成为一种强有力的工具,可以揭示后代如何受到父母所处环境的影响。本综述特别关注那些利用突出化学感官体验进行的研究,综述了我们目前对后代化学感官遗传的概念、原因和后果的理解,以及这一研究领域如何为父母的经历如何影响后代生物学的更大范围提供信息。

Only a few studies have investigated olfactory function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) using psychophysical testing, and there is a scarcity of data regarding taste evaluation in the existing literature. The primary objectives of this study were to assess both smell and taste in patients with OSAS and to explore the correlation between the severity of symptoms and sensory perception. A total of 85 OSAS patients and a control group comprising 81 subjects were enrolled. Initial assessments included anamnesis, nasal endoscopy, and the completion of questionnaires (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders, and the importance of olfaction questionnaire). The diagnosis of OSAS was confirmed by polysomnography, while nasal airflow was evaluated using rhinomanometry. Olfaction was assessed using the Sniffin' Sticks test, and the Threshold-Discrimination-Identification (TDI) score was calculated. Taste evaluation was conducted in a subgroup of participants (42 patients, 38 controls) using taste strips. The mean TDI score was 31 ± 5.6 for OSAS patients and 35 ± 4.6 for controls, indicating a significant difference (P < 0.001). Similarly, the taste score was 7 ± 3.0 for OSAS patients and 12.6 ± 3.2 for controls (P < 0.001). No correlations were observed between TDI and Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (r = -0.12; P = 0.28), as well as between the taste score and AHI (r = -0.31; P = 0.22). However, a weak but significant correlation between TDI score and Epworth Sleepiness Scale was detected (r = -0.05; P = 0.002). The study revealed a significant decrease in sensory perception among patients with OSAS, though open questions persist about the pathophysiology.

Toxic puffers accumulate tetrodotoxin (TTX), a well-known neurotoxin, by feeding on TTX-bearing organisms and using it to defend themselves from predators. Our previous studies have demonstrated that toxic puffers are attracted to 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin (TDT), a nontoxic TTX analog that is simultaneously accumulated with TTX in toxic puffers and their prey. In addition, activity labeling using immunohistochemistry targeting neuronal activity marker suggests that TDT activates crypt olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) of the green spotted puffer. However, it remains to be determined whether individual crypt OSNs can physiologically respond to TDT. By employing electroporation to express GCaMP6s in OSNs, we successfully identified a distinct group of oval OSNs that exhibited a specific calcium response when exposed to TDT in green spotted puffers. These oval OSNs showed no response to amino acids (AAs), which serve as food odor cues for teleosts. Furthermore, oval morphology and surface positioning of TDT-sensitive OSNs in the olfactory epithelium closely resemble that of crypt OSNs. These findings further substantiate that TDT is specifically detected by crypt OSNs in green spotted puffer. The TDT odor may act as a chemoattractant for finding conspecific toxic puffers and for feeding TTX-bearing organisms for effective toxification.

毒河豚通过捕食含河豚毒素的生物并利用河豚毒素抵御天敌,从而积累了河豚毒素(TTX),这是一种众所周知的神经毒素。我们之前的研究表明,毒河豚会被 5,6,11-三脱氧河豚毒素(TDT)吸引,TDT 是一种无毒的 TTX 类似物,在毒河豚及其猎物体内与 TTX 同时积累。此外,针对神经元活动标记的免疫组织化学活动标记表明,TDT 能激活绿斑河豚的隐窝嗅觉神经元(OSN)。然而,单个隐窝嗅觉神经元能否对TDT产生生理反应仍有待确定。通过电穿孔在OSNs中表达GCaMP6s,我们成功地鉴定出了一组不同的椭圆形OSNs,当暴露于绿斑河豚的TDT时,这些OSNs会表现出特定的钙反应。这些椭圆形 OSNs 对氨基酸(AAs)没有反应,而氨基酸是远洋鱼类的食物气味线索。此外,嗅上皮中对 TDT 敏感的椭圆形 OSNs 的形态和表面定位与隐窝 OSNs 非常相似。这些发现表明,绿斑河豚的隐窝 OSNs 能特异性地检测到 TDT。TDT气味可能是一种趋化吸引剂,用于寻找同种有毒河鲀,并喂食含TTX的生物以有效解毒。

Many common chemotherapeutics produce disruptions in the sense of taste which can lead to loss of appetite, nutritional imbalance, and reduced quality of life, especially if taste loss persists after treatment ends. Cyclophosphamide (CYP), an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent, affects taste sensitivity through its cytotoxic effects on mature taste receptor cells (TRCs) and on taste progenitor cell populations, retarding the capacity to replace TRCs. Mechanistic studies have focused primarily on taste cells, however, taste signaling requires communication between TRCs and the gustatory nerve fibers that innervate them. Here, we evaluate cyclophosphamide's effects on the peripheral gustatory nerve fibers that innervate the taste buds. Following histological analysis of tongue tissues, we find that CYP reduces innervation within the fungiform and circumvallates taste buds within 4 days after administration. To better understand the dynamics of the denervation process, we used 2-photon intravital imaging to visualize the peripheral gustatory nerve fibers within individual fungiform taste buds up to 20 days after CYP treatment. We find that gustatory fibers retract from the taste bud properly but are maintained within the central papilla core. These data indicate that in addition to TRCs, gustatory nerve fibers are also affected by CYP treatment. Because the connectivity between TRCs and gustatory neurons must be re-established for proper function, gustatory fibers should continue to be included in future studies to understand the mechanisms leading to chemotherapy-induced persistent taste loss.

许多常见的化疗药物都会破坏味觉,从而导致食欲不振、营养失衡和生活质量下降,尤其是在治疗结束后味觉减退的情况下。环磷酰胺(CYP)是一种烷基化化疗药物,它通过对成熟的味觉受体细胞(TRCs)和味觉祖细胞群产生细胞毒性作用来影响味觉敏感性,从而延缓 TRCs 的替代能力。机理研究主要集中在味觉细胞上,然而味觉信号的传递需要味觉受体细胞与支配它们的味觉神经纤维之间的交流。在此,我们评估了环磷酰胺对支配味蕾的外周味觉神经纤维的影响。通过对舌头组织进行组织学分析,我们发现环磷酰胺会在用药后 4 天内减少漏斗状味蕾和环状味蕾的神经支配。为了更好地了解神经支配过程的动态变化,我们使用双光子眼内成像技术观察了 CYP 治疗后 20 天内各个漏斗状味蕾内的外周味觉神经纤维。我们发现,味觉纤维从味蕾本体缩回,但仍保留在中央乳头核心内。这些数据表明,除了TRCs,味觉神经纤维也会受到CYP处理的影响。由于味觉神经元和味觉神经元之间的连接必须重新建立才能发挥正常功能,因此味觉纤维应继续被纳入未来的研究中,以了解导致化疗引起的持续性味觉丧失的机制。

A common tool to measure olfactory function is the Sniffin' Sticks Test extended version (SSET). The SSET evaluates olfactory ability by summing the scores of three subtests: Threshold, Discrimination, and Identification. Recent meta-scientific literature revealed that many psychometric instruments currently in use have not been adequately validated, leading to a measurement crisis that raises concerns about the validity of the conclusions drawn with these instruments. Two examples of the measurement crisis are (i) the use of sum scores without testing their assumptions (e.g. unidimensionality and tau-equivalence), which indicate that all subtests have the same, stable relationship with their underlying construct, and (ii) the lack of assessment of measurement invariance across groups. Here, we aim to investigate the unidimensionality and tau-equivalence assumptions, internal consistency, and measurement invariance of sex and age groups of the SSET. We tested 988 (555 females, mean ± SD: 39.75 ± 18.60 years) participants with the Italian version of the SSET. The tau-equivalent model demonstrated excellent fit indices (CFI robust = 1, TLI robust = 1, RMSEA robust = 0, SRMR = 0.013), which best explain the data, indicating that all subtests are equally important in measuring olfactory function, but not necessarily equally precise. The results also revealed full measurement invariance across age groups and configural, partial metric, and scalar invariance across sexes, indicating that the use of latent means to compare sex groups should be chosen over raw scores. However, the SSET demonstrated moderate internal consistency. Future studies should clarify whether the reliability of the SSET can be increased.

嗅觉棒测试扩展版(SSET)是测量嗅觉功能的常用工具。SSET 通过将三个子测试的分数相加来评估嗅觉能力:阈值、辨别和识别。最近的元科学文献显示,目前使用的许多心理测量工具都没有经过充分验证,从而导致了测量危机,使人们对使用这些工具得出的结论的有效性产生了担忧。测量危机的两个例子是:i) 使用总分而不测试其假设(如单维性和 tau-等价性),这表明所有子测试与其基本结构具有相同的、稳定的关系;ii) 缺乏对跨组测量不变性的评估。在此,我们旨在研究 SSET 的单维性和头等性假设、内部一致性以及性别和年龄组的测量不变性。我们使用意大利语版 SSET 对 988 名参与者(555 名女性,平均年龄(±SD):39.75±18.60 岁)进行了测试。tau等效模型显示了极佳的拟合指数(CFI稳健性=1,TLI稳健性=1,RMSEA稳健性=0,SRMR=.013),能够最好地解释数据,表明所有子测验在测量嗅觉功能方面同等重要,但不一定同等精确。结果还显示了不同年龄组之间的完全测量不变性,以及不同性别之间的构型、部分度量和标度不变性,这表明在比较性别组时,应选择使用潜在平均值,而不是原始分数。不过,SSET 显示出中等程度的内部一致性。未来的研究应明确是否可以提高 SSET 的可靠性。

The Social Odor Scale (SOS) is a 12-item questionnaire initially developed and validated in Italian and German to investigate self-reported awareness of social odors, which are odors emanating from the human body that convey diverse information and evoke various emotional responses. The scale includes a total score and 3 subscales representing social odors in the respective categories: romantic partner, familiar, and strangers. Here, we aimed to (i) replicate the validation of the Italian and German versions of the SOS, (ii) translate and validate the SOS into multiple additional languages (French, English, Dutch, Swedish, Chinese), and (iii) explore whether the factor structure of each translated version aligns with the original versions. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the scale's structure, yielding a good fit across all languages. Notable differences in SOS mean scores were observed among the different languages: Swedish participants exhibited lower social odor awareness compared to the other groups, whereas Chinese participants reported higher social odor awareness compared to Dutch and Swedish participants. Furthermore, SOS scores correlated with respondents' geographical location, with higher (i.e. northern) latitudes linked to lower social odor awareness. These results corroborate the SOS as a valid and reliable instrument, especially for the SOS total score and the Familiar and Partner factors, emphasizing the influence of individual and geographic factors on social odor awareness.

社交气味量表(Social Odor Scale,简称 SOS)是一份由 12 个项目组成的问卷,最初是在意大利语和德语中开发和验证的,用于调查对社交气味的自我报告意识。该量表包括一个总分和三个分量表,分别代表恋爱伴侣、熟悉的人和陌生人的社交气味。在此,我们的目标是:(i) 重复验证意大利语和德语版本的 SOS;(ii) 将 SOS 翻译成其他多种语言(法语、英语、荷兰语、瑞典语、中文)并进行验证;(iii) 探讨每个翻译版本的因子结构是否与原始版本一致。确认性因子分析(CFA)支持量表的结构,所有语言的量表结构都非常吻合。不同语言的 SOS 平均得分存在显著差异:与其他语言组相比,瑞典语参与者的社会气味意识较低,而与荷兰语和瑞典语参与者相比,中国参与者的社会气味意识较高。此外,SOS 分数还与受试者的地理位置相关,纬度越高(即北方),社会气味意识越低。这些结果证实了 SOS 是一种有效且可靠的工具,尤其是在 SOS 总分以及熟悉和伙伴因子方面,强调了个人和地理因素对社交气味意识的影响。
