Exhaled nitric oxide (FENO ) is raised in atopy. The mechanism for this is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the number of AAT repeats in intron 20 of the NOS1 gene, recently associated with variations in FENO in adults with asthma and cystic fibrosis, was associated with the raised FENO in healthy atopic children. Eighty-seven healthy children (44 girls, 42 atopic, age range 6–18 years) underwent measurements of FENO , spirometry, airway responsiveness and skin prick testing. Genotyping was carried out to determine the number of AAT repeats. There was no association between the number of AAT repeats and FENO in either the whole sample of healthy children (n = 87) or in the subsample of healthy atopics (n = 42). However, a greater number of atopic children had two high repeat alleles compared with non-atopic children (33.3% vs. 13.6%, respectively, p = 0.03). This suggests that variations in the NOS1 gene may contribute to atopy without this relationship being reflected by FENO . 相似文献

The association between exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) and exhaled nitric oxide (FENO ) has not been investigated in young children with atopic or non-atopic wheeze, two different phenotypes of asthma in the early childhood. Steroid naïve 3- to 7-yr-old children with recent wheeze (n = 84) and age-matched control subjects without respiratory symptoms (n = 71) underwent exercise challenge test, measurement of FENO and skin prick testing (SPT). EIB was assessed by using impulse oscillometry, and FENO by standard online technique. Although FENO levels were highest in atopic patients with EIB, both atopic and non-atopic wheezy children with EIB showed higher FENO than atopic and non-atopic control subjects, respectively. In atopic wheezy children, a significant relationship between FENO and the severity of EIB was found ( r = 0.44, p = 0.0004), and FENO was significantly predictive of EIB. No clear association between FENO and EIB or predictive value was found in non-atopic wheezy children. Both atopic and non-atopic young wheezy children with EIB show increased FENO levels. However, the association between the severity of EIB and FENO is present and FENO significantly predictive of EIB only in atopic subjects, suggesting different interaction between bronchial responsiveness and airway inflammation in non-atopic wheeze. 相似文献

Background: Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) levels in children are unstable because they are regulated by many potent factors. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the reliability of eNO levels between a long interval and other lung functions in normal and asthmatic children. Methods: Eighty‐three elementary school children (aged 11–12 years; male : female, 39 : 44) participated in this study. Lung function, airway resistance and eNO levels were measured twice: the first measurement was in autumn 2007, and the second was one year later. Results: There were 62 non‐asthmatic control children (male : female, 31 : 31) and 21 asthmatic children (male : female, 8 : 13). In both the first and the second examination, the levels of eNO in children with asthma were higher than those in children without asthma. The parameters of lung function and the respiratory resistance in children without asthma showed a good correlation between the results of the first and second examinations. The eNO level in non‐asthmatic children showed a good correlation between the two. On the other hand, the peripheral airway parameters of lung function and the respiratory resistance in children with asthma were not correlated between the first and the second examinations. The eNO level in these patients was well correlated between the two examinations. Conclusions: These data suggest that the eNO level showed good reproducibility in children with and without asthma. The eNO level is therefore considered to be a useful marker for reproducibly evaluating a subject's airway condition. 相似文献

??Objective To explore the change of exhaled nitric oxide ??eNO?? in children from community and its importance in asthma management. Methods The study was conducted from October 2011 to December 2011. Totally 133 non-asthmatic children and 94 asthmatic children aged 7~12 years old from elementary schools in Beijing Xicheng District were included in the study. The eNO?? skin prick test ??SPT???? lung function and physical examination were carried out and information of medical history was collected in all children. The eNO level between non-asthmatic children and asthmatic children?? and its association with atopy?? rhinitis?? lung function and asthma control were analyzed. Results eNO levels of non-asthmatic children and asthmatic children were 11.63±1.88 ppb?? and 19.68±2.31 ppb respectively and the difference between them was statistically significant ??P<0.01??. In non-asthmatic children?? the level of eNO in children with rhinitis was significantly higher than in children without rhinitis ???17.49±2.02??×10-9 vs. ??10.42±1.76??×10-9?? P<0.01?? and eNO level in atopic children was higher than non-atopic children ???23.06±2.18??×10-9 vs. ??9.60±1.66??×10-9?? P<0.01??. In asthmatic children?? the difference in eNO level was not significant in children with rhinitis and without rhinitis ???19.58±2.34??×10-9 vs. ??20.09±2.25??×10-9??? but the eNO levels in atopic children ??23.06±2.18??×10-9 was significantly higher than non-atopic children ???8.75±1.86??×10-9?? P<0.01??. The level of eNO of uncontrolled asthmatic children was significantly higher than controlled asthmatic children ???25.09±2.31??×10-9 vs. ??17.21±2.22??×10-9?? P<0.05??. There was no significant difference in eNO level between children who used and those who did not use inhaled corticosteroid. The eNO level was not related to lung function parameters either in non-asthmatic or in asthmatic children. Conclusion The eNO level increases significantly in children with asthma or rhinitis and is associated with asthma control status. Atopy is an important factor on eNO level as well. Measuring eNO level would help improve the diagnosis of asthma and atopy and management of asthma and rhinitis in children from community. 相似文献

Exhaled nitric oxide in healthy children: Variability and a lack of correlation with atopy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical produced by several lung cells via the enzyme nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) and can be easily measured in exhaled air by chemiluminescence analysis. As the iso-enzyme iNOS may be induced by cytokines and endotoxin, NO is elevated in several chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Prior to using exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) as a non-invasive marker of airway inflammation in daily routine, the role of possibly influencing factors such as age, time of the day, smoking exposure and intra-individual variability have to be clarified. NO concentrations were measured in 107 healthy children aged 4–18 years at an expiratory flow of 184 ml/s. Spirometry and a skin-prick test were performed and a questionnaire on family history of atopy, personal symptoms of atopic disease and smoke exposure was completed. For intra-individual variability nitric oxide was measured in six children three times daily on 6 consecutive days. Median eNO concentration was 5.7 p.p.b., and increased significantly with age but did not vary with gender. No correlation was found between eNO and smoke exposure, positive skin-prick test, FEV 1 , MEF25 and time of the day. There was no circadian rhythm found in the six children measured on 6 consecutive days, but the eNO showed an intra-individual coefficient of variation of 25.9%. With the help of a two-compartment model of the lung the alveolar NO concentration was estimated to be 4.1 p.p.b and was shown to be constant with age, whereas the airway part of NO steadily increased with age. When comparing eNO values with standardized measurement techniques, the age of the children and the large intra-subject coefficient of variation have to be taken into account, whereas in healthy children subject-specific factors such as atopic history, gender and skin test reactivity did not affect eNO measurement. 相似文献

Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) offers a non-invasive means for assessment of airway inflammation. The currently available methods are difficult to apply in preschool children. We evaluated four methods potentially applicable for eNO measurement during tidal breathing in young children. eNO was assessed during tidal breathing in 24 children, 2-7 yr old, using a facemask which separated nasal and oral airflow. Facemasks with and without a one-way valve allowing exhalation through the nose were used. Expiratory flow control was not attempted. Measurements of eNO were performed both on-line and off-line. In 11 children, 8-12 yr old, measurements were compared with the standard single breath on-line method. eNO was significantly lower applying the one-way valve in on-line and off-line measurements in comparison with measurements without the valve [4.6 and 3.9 parts per billion (ppb) vs. 6.9 ppb and 6.5 ppb]. The mean within subject coefficient of variation (CV) was significantly lower in on-line measurements with the one-way valve (9.6%) compared with the other three methods (18.8, 27.7 and 29.3% respectively). Measurements with a facemask fitted with a one-way valve yielded similar eNO levels as the standard single breath method (7.0 ppb vs. 6.9 ppb) and reproducibility (9.8% vs. 7.1%). In conclusion, reproducible measurements of eNO can be obtained without control of expiration flow using a facemask fitted with a one-way valve on the nasal compartment. The likely explanation to this is that the one-way valve reduces the admixture of nasal NO, thereby improving the reliability of eNO measurements. 相似文献

Exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)) has been shown to be decreased in children with sickle cell disease. We sought to evaluate the effect of sickle cell vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) on FE(NO) levels. We measured FE(NO) levels in 42 children with sickle cell disease, 29 in their baseline health and 13 during an acute VOC. There was no difference in FE(NO) levels between children at baseline (15.12 +/- 9.32 ppb) and those during an acute VOC (15.68 +/- 7.26 ppb; P = 0.794). FE(NO) is not a useful marker of acute VOC in children with sickle cell disease. 相似文献

??Abstract??The pathophysiology of wheezing in infants is yet to be fully understood, and approaches for a confirmatory diagnosis of this condition remain so far limited. Thus, a combination of medical history and laboratory investigations represents the most reliable source of clinical clues for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of infant wheezing. 相似文献

Ghdifan S, Verin E, Couderc L, Lubrano M, Michelet I, Marguet C. Exhaled nitric oxide fractions are well correlated with clinical control in recurrent infantile wheeze treated with inhaled corticosteroids.Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2010: 21: 1015–1020.© 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non‐invasive marker of bronchial inflammation in asthma. However, the interest of FeNO measurement remained limited in infantile wheeze. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of FeNO off‐line measurement in very young children with recurrent wheeze and to assess whether clinical control of infantile wheeze correlates with FeNO levels. Two exhalation samples were collected in mylar balloon during quite tidal breathing. FeNO measurements were performed off‐line by a NO analyzer. The participating patients were aged ≤36 months, wheezes had started before the age of 24 months, and they were receiving maintenance treatment with inhaled corticosteroids for at least 3 months duration. The studied population comprised of 40 uncontrolled infants with persistent wheezy respiratory symptoms, median age 14.5 months, and 40 with optimal controlled infantile wheeze, median age 14 months. The reproducibility was excellent (r = 0.95; p < 0.0001). There was a significant difference in FeNO levels between the groups of persistent wheeze and well‐controlled infants: 19.8 (2.5–99.3) ppb vs. 7.7 (0.6–29.5) ppb, p < 0.0001. At a FeNO level >15 ppb, the predictive values for uncontrolled disease were as follows: positive predictive value = 65%, negative predictive value = 90%. FeN0 levels were not increased by atopy or passive tobacco. Off‐line assessment of FeNO is feasible, reproducible, and well accepted in wheezy very young children. Optimal clinical control of infantile wheeze appeared to be associated with the control of bronchial inflammation when evaluated by FeNO measurements. 相似文献

American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines recommend to refrain from spirometry or exercise before measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) because forced breathing maneuvers might influence FENO values. However the few studies already reported in children have given conflicting results. The aim of the study was to observe to what extent spirometry or exercise could affect FENO in asthmatic children. Twenty-four asthmatic children (mean age 12.8 yr) were enrolled. Measurements of FENO were performed before and 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after spirometry or a 6-min walk test, on two separate days in random order. Geometric mean FENO at baseline was 25.6 parts per billion (ppb) before spirometry and 23.5 ppb before exercise. A small drop of FENO to 24.2 and 23.7 ppb was found 5 and 15 min after spirometry (both p = 0.04). After exercise, FENO values showed a larger drop to 18.5 ppb after 5 min and 20.7 ppb after 15 min (p < 0.001; p = 0.004 respectively). Changes in FENO occurred after exercise irrespective of baseline FENO and values returned to baseline within 30 min. We conclude that both spirometry and exercise affect FENO in asthmatic children. As the changes after exercise may lead to erroneous interpretations, children should refrain from physical exercise during at least 30 min before FENO measurements. 相似文献

Although elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) are considered the hallmark of atopic diseases, their clinical value in evaluating subjects with allergic disorders is under debate. To evaluate possible relationships between serum IgE levels and a variety of clinical parameters, 83 mild asthmatic children [10.98-year-old (2.95)], sensitized to house dust mites (HDM) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) or D. farinae (Df), were enrolled. As compared with normal control reference values detected in our laboratory, children with allergic asthma had higher blood eosinophil counts (expressed both as percentage and as absolute number) and higher fractional exhaled nitric oxide ( FeNO) levels but similar values in pulmonary function parameters. In the allergic asthmatic population, serum levels of total, Dp-specific or Df-specific IgE correlated positively with eosinophil counts (Rho ≥ 0.30, p < 0.01, each correlation) and FeNO levels (Rho ≥ 0.33, p < 0.01, each correlation) but not with pulmonary function parameters (p > 0.1, each correlation). Finally, significant correlations, although moderate, were found in the allergic asthmatic population between eosinophil counts and FeNO levels (Rho ≥ 0.42, p < 0.001, each correlation). Thus, in atopic children sensitized to HDM with mild intermittent asthma, IgE levels in blood appear to reflect systemic (blood eosinophils) and organ-specific (FeNO) markers of allergic inflammation but not pulmonary volumes or the degree of airflow limitation. 相似文献
