FeNO for detecting lower airway involvement in patients with allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a risk factor for asthma development. The value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in detecting lower airway involvement in the progress of AR-asthma march has not been evaluated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of FeNO in assessing lower airway inflammation and predicting bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in AR with or without asthma. FeNO and eosinophil count in induced sputum, and a methacholine bronchial provocation test were performed in 93 subjects, including: 45 AR patients (AR group); 20 patients with AR and asthma (AR with asthma group); and 28 normal controls (control group). The AR group was divided into two sub-groups: AR with asymptomatic BHR group and AR without BHR group. Correlation between FeNO and eosinophil count was assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to evaluate the predictive and diagnostic value of FeNO in detecting BHR. The values of FeNO in the AR and AR with asthma groups were higher [29.5 (22.0) ppb and 61.5 (33.0) ppb] compared with the normal control group (16.0 (10.0) ppb), where the values in brackets indicate the interquartile range of the values. The percentages of eosinophils in induced sputum were 2.43±3.56, 7.36±4.98 and 18.58±11.26% in the control, AR and AR with asthma groups, respectively. For the diagnosis of BHR, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.910 (95%CI 0.836, 0.984), with the sensitivity and specificity 0.846 and 0.817 when the cut-off value takes 31.5 ppb. For diagnosis of asthma, the AUC was 0.873 (95%CI 0.753, 0.992) with sensitivity 0.857 and specificity 0.847 when taking the cut-off value to be 38.0 ppb. The value of FeNO was well correlated with eosinophil count in the sputum. The measurement of FeNO is an effective method in detecting lower airway involvement in AR developing to asthma.

Project description:IntroductionAlthough recent studies have shown that the human microbiome is involved in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, the impact of microbiota on allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (nAR) has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in the composition of the nasal flora in patients with AR and nAR and their role in the pathogenesis.MethodFrom February to September 2022, 35 AR patients and 35 nAR patients admitted to Harbin Medical University's Second Affiliated Hospital, as well as 20 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination during the same period, were subjected to 16SrDNA and metagenomic sequencing of nasal flora.ResultsThe microbiota composition of the three groups of study subjects differs significantly. The relative abundance of Vibrio vulnificus and Acinetobacter baumanni in the nasal cavity of AR patients was significantly higher when compared to nAR patients, while the relative abundance of Lactobacillus murinus, Lactobacillus iners, Proteobacteria, Pseudomonadales, and Escherichia coli was lower. In addition, Lactobacillus murinus and Lacttobacillus kunkeei were also negatively correlated with IgE, while Lacttobacillus kunkeei was positively correlated with age. The relative distribution of Faecalibacterium was higher in moderate than in severe AR patients. According to KEGG functional enrichment annotation, ICMT(protein-S-isoprenylcysteine O-methyltransferase,ICMT) is an AR microbiota-specific enzyme that plays a role, while glycan biosynthesis and metabolism are more active in AR microbiota. For AR, the model containing Parabacteroides goldstemii, Sutterella-SP-6FBBBBH3, Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, Lachnospiraceae bacterium-615, and Bacteroides coprocola had the highest the area under the curve (AUC), which was 0.9733(95%CI:0.926-1.000) in the constructed random forest prediction model. The largest AUC for nAR is 0.984(95%CI:0.949-1.000) for the model containing Pseudomonas-SP-LTJR-52, Lachnospiraceae bacterium-615, Prevotella corporis, Anaerococcus vaginalis, and Roseburia inulinivorans.ConclusionIn conclusion, patients with AR and nAR had significantly different microbiota profiles compared to healthy controls. The results suggest that the nasal microbiota may play a key role in the pathogenesis and symptoms of AR and nAR, providing us with new ideas for the treatment of AR and nAR.
