The bioeconomy adresses societal challenges such as climate change, sustainable economic growth and energy independence. The bioeconomy enables the sustainable production of chemicals, pharmaceutical products, materials, food, feed and energy from renewable raw materials. Shared pilot facilities are open access test sites that bring bioeconomy innovations from the laboratory into industrial practice. They are open to all companies and research institutes, and can thus be seen as shared investments in innovation equipment. They have proven to be successful in helping innovators, especially SMEs, to bridge the so called Valley of Death, i.e. the innovation phase between between laboratory and successful market introduction that comes with a high technological and financial risk. Typically, initial funding from governments is available to build a Shared Pilot Facility, but it is a challenge to safeguard their long-term existence, especially since bioeconomy is relatively new and dedicated policies are currently lacking in many regions.

Notably, the low-threshold and sex-specific distribution of myelinated Ah-type baroreceptor neurons (BRNs) [17-20] have extensively been studied since the intact nodose slice preparation is developed [21, 22]. As compared with traditionally classified A- and C-types, the afferent conduction and neuroexcitability of this Ah-types are more like A-types, while, the afferent-specific chemosensitivity to vanilloid receptor agonist capsaicin [23] or neurotransmitter histamine [24, 25] are more similar to A-types or C-types, respectively, which may lead at least partially to the sexual-dimorphism in aortic baroreflex function [26]. Even though Ah-types are fast conducted and myelinated afferents, they also share discharge characteristics with unmyelinated C-types, such as, repolarization hump [17], expression tetrodotoxin-resistant Na+ channels [18, 27], and large conductive Ca2+-activated K+ channels [8, 19]. Our previous report have shown that myelinated A-types is less susceptible to ketamine-mediated presynaptic transmission block [4] compared with C-types, however, it would be very interesting to see the distinctive response of this myelinated Ah-type BRNs in nodose ganglia (NG) and the 2nd-order Ah-type barosensitive neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) to ketamine due largely to the difference in electrophysiological property and chemosensitivity.

Even though these NTS neurons displayed a differential sensitivity to Ket, they were all capsaicin (Cap)-insensitive myelinated afferents, presumably mixed with myelinated A- and Ah-types, as those were observed in nodose ganglia. If this is the case, inactivation of KCa1.1 would change the dynamics of solitary track stimulation-evoked EPSCs of Ket-more sensitive rather that Ket-less sensitive group. A. and B. The changes in the amplitude, DTC, and AUC of EPSCs in ACSF, with 50 μM cyclothiazide (CTZ), and CTZ plus 100 nM IbTX, respectively, in Ket-more sensitive and Ket-less sensitive 2nd-order barosensitive neurons of NTS. The averaged dynamic parameters of EPSCs were summarized in the bottom table.

Further incubation with ketamine, the TTX-S remains but TTX-R component disappears (Figure 8A-8C, red). These data highly suggest that TTX-S coordinates closely with TTX-R during AP depolarization, and there is clear difference in activation threshold for both TTX-S and TTX-R component and TTX-S is an essential for TTX-R activation simply because if TTX-S activation could not make the membrane depolarized to the threshold for TTX-R in the presence of ketamine, then the conduction failure would absolutely occurred even though TTX-R component may still be available for activation. In another word, the TTX-S component in identified low-threshold and sex-specific myelinated Ah-type BRNs housed in NG is critical for setting the firing threshold, while, TTX-R component is a key player for further depolarized membrane to form a propagated AP.

From this observation, the conclusion could not be drawn if TTX-S is less sensitive to ketamine compared with TTX-R component even though it disappears later than TTX-R, which may be masked by significant reduction in TTX-S component by ketamine leading to less membrane depolarization up to the threshold for TTX-R, in this case, even if there is enough TTX-R available it would remain not to be activated, so the explanation from this observation will not be contradicted with literature [39]. From the cellular point of view, Ah-type afferents not only express similar ion channels compared with the C-type afferents, including TTX-S/TTX-R [18, 27], KCa1.1 [28, 43], and HCN1 [19, 20, 44], but also show identical chemosensitivity to histamine [24, 25], so, it is not surprised that Ah-type afferents display a similar reaction to ketamine within presynaptic neurotransmission on the cell body and synaptic terminal of 1st-order neurons as indicated in C-type afferents [4]. Although the effect of ketamine was not evaluated in the observation, the significant slow repolarization and broader AP duration suggested that certain K+ channels must be blocked by ketamine, which is consistent with the previous documentation [40, 45]. Moreover, conjugated with our intact nodose slice data and the data collected from isolated neuron preparation, we also conclude that afferent conduction definitely failed before somatic AP generation because AP can still be elicited in isolated Ah-type BRNs with higher concentration of ketamine causing the presynaptic neurotransmission failure.

NSAID differs in chemical structure but have the same pharmacological properties dependent on cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and/or COX-2 inhibition [11]. Most NSAID-induced DHR are related to this mechanism of action, which interferes with arachidonic acid metabolism and leads to leukotriene overproduction and blockage of prostaglandin synthesis, and, consequently, to the development of hypersensitivity symptoms [11,12]. PRC hypersensitivity reactions are often considered in the context of NSAID hypersensitivity because, on the one hand, it is usually taken into account as a possible alternative painkiller in patients with hypersensitivity to NSAID [13] but, on the other hand, the overall cross-reaction rates with PRC in these patients reach 24.8% [14].

Depending on main symptoms, timing, underlying disease, and background mechanisms, NSAID-hypersensitive reactions have been divided into a few types: (i) NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD) with bronchial asthma/rhinosinusitis, (ii) NSAID-exacerbated cutaneous disease (NECD) with chronic urticaria, and (iii) NSAID-induced urticaria-angioedema (NIUA) without underlying chronic diseases. These types of reactions show cross-reactivity between NSAID, whereas the other two types do not: (iv) Single-NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema or anaphylaxis (SNIUAA) and (v) Single-NSAID-induced delayed reactions (SNIDR) [13]. These last two types are considered to be mediated by IgE and T cells, respectively [15,16].

Because non-opioid painkiller drugs (NSAID and PRC) are widely used for many medical conditions, patients suspected of hypersensitivity reactions to them are in high need of offering a safe alternative drug [6]. Weak COX-1 inhibitors, preferential or selective COX-2 inhibitors, are supposed to be often well tolerated by NSAID-hypersensitive patients [17], but this cannot be taken for granted [14,18]. Due to the shortcomings of in vitro methods and limitations in the use of skin tests, drug provocation tests (DPT) are in most cases the method of choice to confirm hypersensitivity to a given drug or to verify tolerance to alternatives [6].

As a matter of fact, DPT is recommended as the gold standard for diagnosing NSAID hypersensitivity [1,13,19,20]. The test consists of the controlled administration of a drug suspected of inducing a hypersensitivity reaction or a drug with analogous properties that may serve as an alternative for treatment. Because severe hypersensitivity symptoms, which were observed during index reaction, may be reproduced during provocation, DPT should be performed under hospital surveillance [10]. Negative DPT allows the ability to rule out drug hypersensitivity or to indicate a safe alternative drug. This piece of information is crucial for further patient management because it allows one to safely prescribe a drug after a negative diagnostic workup. However, it may happen that reexposure to this drug produces hypersensitive symptoms again [21]. Furthermore, some patients may be afraid to use the drug despite negative DPT [22]. However, data on the follow-up of patients after negative DPT are still very scarce [23] and the evaluation of predictive values of provocation tests in NSAID hypersensitivity is still recognized as an unmet need [13].

The predominant symptoms of post-exposure skin hypersensitivity observed in group A2 corresponded to the initial phenotype of the reaction (Table 2). Only one patient with NERD (patient # 104) reported dyspnea, which also corresponds to his primary phenotype. The other patient with NERD (# 128) reported erythema several hours after reexposure, which is a nonspecific symptom. In the absence of medical verification, it could be an expression of an aggravation of the symptoms of the reaction by the patient. Importantly, none of the reactions after reexposure were life-threatening. Similar observations were made in this respect by other authors and they also emphasize this [23,82]. Some authors suggest that atopy predisposes the development of the NECD and NIUA phenotypes of hypersensitivity to NSAID [4], while others believe that the relationship between atopy and hypersensitivity to NSAID requires more data [6]. In our work, the characteristics of atopy, understood as the presence of positive skin prick tests with common aeroallergens, did not have any value differentiating between the studied subgroups (Table 2 and Table 3). However, the predominance of women in the entire study group was observed with a significantly higher percentage of women in the A1 group compared to A2. The importance of estrogens in allergic symptoms is not obvious, but their influence on mast cell activation is suggested, women also reported more allergic reactions, for example to food, and more adverse reactions to iodinated radiocontrast media [83]. Thus, in the group of DPT-negative patients with a history of hypersensitivity skin reactions, they may have a gender-related predilection for such reactions, regardless of NSAID hypersensitivity. 59ce067264
