Influence of ambient air on NMR-based metabolomics of exhaled breath condensates.

چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive approach that has been used to study diseases of the respiratory system [1, 2]. In a previous study, we questioned the accuracy of NMR-based EBC analysis, demonstrating that the cleaning protocols for reusable condenser parts produce a confounding metabolite fingerprint largely unrelated to the endogenous metabolites from the airways and alveolar fractions of exhaled breath [3]. Here we present new data that provide a qualitative assessment of exogenous contaminants in NMR spectroscopy analysis of EBC, some proceeding from room air. Given the presence of these contaminants in the NMR spectrum, classification of these components as biomarkers of lung function should be regarded with extreme caution. Previous studies have reported the presence of room air components in mass spectrometry analysis of volatiles in exhaled human breath [4, 5] and non-volatiles in exhaled human breath condensate [6]. However, although a previous NMR-based metabolomic study of EBC reported the presence of external impurities such as disinfectants or salivary signals [1], the influence of contaminating metabolites in room air was not considered.

Off-line sampling of exhaled air for nitric oxide measurement in children: methodological aspects.
Measurement of nitric oxide in exhaled air is a noninvasive method to assess airway inflammation in asthma. This study was undertaken to establish the reference range of exhaled NO in healthy school-aged children and to determine the influence of ambient NO, noseclip and breath-holding on exhaled NO, using an off-line balloon sampling method. All children attending a primary school (age range 8...

Background: The use of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) biomarkers to evaluate exposure and disease in recent years gained attention in toxicology and occupational medicine. However, use of standard sampling apparatus is missing element in this procedure. Methods: Initial design of sampler was selected based on the water condensation system. The effect of sampler length, sampling time and tempe...

Background: When workplace air monitoring is not sufficient to determine the exposure levels, the determination of compounds and some metabolites in exhaled air and personal exposure levels is considered a practical method for biological monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the concentration of tetrachlorethylene in exhaled air and personal exposure levels...

AIM To evaluate nitric oxide and interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and IL-13 in the exhaled breath of children with allergic rhinitis (AR), before and after intranasal allergen exposure. METHODS A total of 49 children with AR – comprising 20 who also had episodic asthma (AR+A) and 29 without asthma (AR) – were compared with 34 healthy controls. Nitric oxide concentrations in exhaled air (eNO) and IL-6...
