    Relationship between lung function and exhaled volatile organic compounds in healthy infants
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022-01-29) Sola‐Martínez, Rosa A.; Sánchez-Solís de Querol, Manuel; Lozano Terol, Gema; Gallego Jara, Julia; García-Marcos Álvarez, Luis Vicente; Cánovas Díaz, Manuel; Diego Puente, Teresa de; NELA Study Group; Cirugía, Pediatría y Obstetricia y Ginecología; Facultad de Medicina
    Objective: The aim of this study is to assess, for the first time, the relationship between the volatilome and lung function in healthy infants, which may be of help for the early detection of certain respiratory diseases. Lung function tests are crucial in chronic respiratory diseases diagnosis. Moreover, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis in exhaled breath is a noninvasive technique that enables the monitorization of oxidative stress, typical of some forms of airway inflammation. Methods: Lung function was studied in 50 healthy infants of 3–8 months of age and the following parameters were obtained: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced ex piratory volume at 0.5 s (FEV0.5), forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC (FEF75), forced expiratory flow at 25%–75% of FVC (FEF25–75), and FEV0.5/FVC. Lung function was measured according to the raised volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique. In addition, a targeted analysis of six endogenous VOCs (acetone, isoprene, decane, undecane, tetradecane, and pentadecane) in the exhaled breath of the children was carried out by means of thermal desorption coupled gas chromatography‐single quadrupole mass spectrometry system. Results: A negatively significant relationship has been observed between levels of acetone, tetradecane, and pentadecane in exhaled breath and several of the lung function parameters. Levels of acetone (feature m/z = 58) were significantly nega tively associated with FVC and FVE0.5, levels of tetradecane (feature m/z = 71) with FEV0.5, and levels of pentadecane (feature m/z = 71) with FEV0.5 and FEF25–75. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight a significant association between VOCs related to oxidative stress and lung function in healthy infants.

    Impact of environmental exposures on exhaled breath and lung function: NELA Birth Cohort
    (ERS publications, 2025) Sola-Martínez, Rosa A.; Jiménez Guerrero, Pedro; Sánchez-Solís de Querol, Manuel; Lozano Terol, Gema; Gallego Jara, Julia; Martínez Vivancos, Adrián; Morales Bartolomé, Eva; García-Marcos Álvarez, Luis Vicente; Diego Puente, Teresa de; NELA Study Group; Cirugía, Pediatría y Obstetricia y Ginecología; Facultad de Medicina
    Introduction: Exposure to environmental factors (i.e. air pollution and second-hand tobacco smoke) have been associated with impaired lung function. However, the impact of environmental factors on lung health is usually evaluated separately and not with an exposomic framework. In this regard, breath analysis could be a noninvasive tool for biomonitoring of global human environmental exposure. Methods: Data come from 337 mother-child pairs from the Nutrition in Early Childhood Asthma (NELA) birth cohort. Levels of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) in exhaled breath from mothers and children at 3 months after birth were estimated using gas hromatography-mass spectrometry. Short-term residential exposures (breath sampling day and 15 days before breath sampling) to nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone were determined by chemical dispersion/transport modelling. Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 0.5 s (FEV0.5) and forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC and at 25%-75% of FVC were measured in infants according to the raised-volume rapid thoracoabdominal compression technique. Results: The results showed significant associations between short-term exposure to external agents and levels of benzene and toluene in exhaled breath. It was observed that exhaled levels of benzene and toluene were influenced by smoking status and outdoor air pollution in mothers, and by air pollution in infants (3 months of age). No significant relationship was observed between exposure to maternal tobacco smoking and/or short-term air pollution and lung function in healthy infants. However, there was a significant relationship between FEV0.5 and exhaled toluene in children. Discussion: These findings indicated a significant relationship between environmental exposures and exhaled levels of benzene and toluene, suggesting that breath analysis could be a helpful exposure biomonitoring tool.

    Exhaled volatilome analysis as a useful tool to discriminate asthma with other coexisting atopic diseases in women of childbearing age
    (Springer Nature, 2021-07-05) Sola Martínez, Rosa Alba; Lozano Terol, Gema; Gallego Jara, Julia; Morales Bartolomé, Eva; Cantero-Cano, Esther; Sánchez-Solís de Querol, Manuel; García-Marcos Álvarez, Luis Vicente; Jiménez Guerrero, Pedro; Noguera Velasco, José Antonio; Cánovas Díaz, Manuel; Diego Puente, Teresa de; NELA study group; Bioquímica y Biología Molecular B e Inmunología; Cirugía, Pediatría y Obstetricia y Ginecología
    The prevalence of asthma is considerably high among women of childbearing age. Most asthmatic women also often have other atopic disorders. Therefore, the diferentiation between patients with atopic diseases without asthma and asthmatics with coexisting diseases is essential to avoid underdiagnosis of asthma and to design strategies to reduce symptom severity and improve quality of life of patients. Hence, we aimed for the frst time to conduct an analysis of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath of women of childbearing age as a new approach to discriminate between asthmatics with other coexisting atopic diseases and non-asthmatics (with or without atopic diseases), which could be a helpful tool for more accurate asthma detection and monitoring using a noninvasive technique in the near future. In this study, exhaled air samples of 336 women (training set (n= 211) and validation set (n= 125)) were collected and analyzed by thermal desorption coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. ASCA (ANOVA (analysis of variance) simultaneous component analysis) and LASSO+LS (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator+ logistic regression) were employed for data analysis. Fifteen statistically signifcant models (p-value< 0.05 in permutation tests) that discriminated asthma with other coexisting atopic diseases in women of childbearing age were generated. Acetone, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and a tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative were selected as discriminants of asthma with other coexisting atopic diseases. In addition, carbon disulfde, a tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and decane discriminated asthma disease among patients with other atopic disorders. Results of this study indicate that refned metabolomic analysis of exhaled breath allows asthma with other coexisting atopic diseases discrimination in women of reproductive age.
