A major challenge for breath research is the lack of standardization in sampling and analysis. To address this, a test that utilizes a standardized intervention and a defined study protocol has been proposed to explore disparities in breath research across different analytical platforms and to provide benchmark values for comparison. Specifically, the Peppermint Experiment involves the targeted analysis in exhaled breath of volatile constituents of peppermint oil after ingestion of the encapsulated oil. Data from the Peppermint Experiment performed by proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) and selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) are presented and discussed herein, including the product ions associated with the key peppermint volatiles, namely limonene, α- and β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, menthol, menthone and menthofuran. The breath washout profiles of these compounds from 65 individuals were collected, comprising datasets from five PTR-MS and two SIFT-MS instruments. The washout profiles of these volatiles were evaluated by comparing the log-fold change over time of the product ion intensities associated with each volatile. Benchmark values were calculated from the lower 95% confidence interval of the linear time-to-washout regression analysis for all datasets combined. Benchmark washout values from PTR-MS analysis were 353 min for the sum of monoterpenes and 1,8-cineole (identical product ions), 173 min for menthol, 330 min for menthofuran, and 218 min for menthone; from SIFT-MS analysis values were 228 min for the sum of monoterpenes, 281 min for the sum of monoterpenes and 1,8-cineole, and 370 min for menthone plus 1,8-cineole. Large inter- and intra-dataset variations were observed, whereby the latter suggests that biological variability plays a key role in how the compounds are absorbed, metabolized and excreted from the body via breath. This variability seems large compared to the influence of sampling and analytical procedures, but further investigations are recommended to clarify the effects of these factors.
Dry powder inhalers are used by a large number of patients worldwide to treat respiratory diseases. The objective of this work is to experimentally investigate changes in aerosol particle diameter and particle number concentration of pharmaceutical aerosols generated by four dry powder inhalers under realistic inhalation and exhalation conditions. To simulate patients undergoing inhalation therapy, the active respiratory system model (xPULM™) was used. A mechanical upper airway model was developed, manufactured, and introduced as a part of the xPULM™ to represent the human upper respiratory tract with high fidelity. Integration of optical aerosol spectrometry technique into the setup allowed for evaluation of pharmaceutical aerosols. The results show that there is a significant difference (p < 0.05) in mean particle diameter between inhaled and exhaled particles with the majority of the particles depositing in the lung, while particles with the size of (>0.5 μm) are least influenced by deposition mechanisms. The fraction of exhaled particles ranges from 2.13% (HandiHaler®) over 2.94% (BreezHaler®), and 6.22% (Turbohaler®) to 10.24% (Ellipta®). These values are comparable to previously published studies. Furthermore, the mechanical upper airway model increases the resistance of the overall system and acts as a filter for larger particles (>3 μm). In conclusion, the xPULM™ active respiratory system model is a viable option for studying interactions of pharmaceutical aerosols and the respiratory tract regarding applicable deposition mechanisms. The model strives to support the reduction of animal experimentation in aerosol research and provides an alternative to experiments with human subjects.
Ziel dieser Studie war das überlagerte Elektromyogramm (ueEMG) und das decompositionierte (dEMG) auf deren Reliabilität und Aussagekraft zu überprüfen. Hierfür vollzogen zehn gesunde männliche Probanden zu drei Testzeitpunkten isometrische Ermüdungsmessungen. Hintergrund Bei der Messung des ueEMG werden die Motor Units Aktionspotentiale (MUAPS) elektrisch überlagert. Physiologische Muskelermüdung zeigt sich hier unter anderem in der Veränderung des Frequenzspektrums und der Signalamplitude. Letzteres steigt bei Ermüdung an, wohingegen die mediane Frequenz (MF) sinkt. Eine weitere Möglichkeit die Muskelermüdung mittels Oberflächen-EMG zu ermitteln ist die Anwendung des dEMGs. Dieses ermöglicht mithilfe einer Mustererkennungssoftware einzelne MUAPS zu erkennen. Studien zeigten, dass aktive Motor Units (MU) bei wiederholten oder anhaltenden submaximalen Kontraktionen als Muskelermüdung ihre Feuerungsrate erhöhen und neue MU rekrutiert werden. Bisher wurden diese Methoden jeweils einzeln betrachtet. Um sicherzustellen welcher Ansatz für klinische Daten geeigneter ist, wurden Datensätze zu beiden Methoden gleichzeitig generiert und hinsichtlich ihrer Aussagekraft und Wiederholbarkeit mit statistischen Mitteln verglichen.
