Exhaled Breath Condensate Biomarkers in CARAS

To explore the differences in the expression of biomarkers in different sample types between the healthy population and different subgroups of the disease, and to screen for potential biomarkers in a more simple, direct and objective way. To screen the biomarkers that can be identified by CARAS Chinese medicine symptoms and different stages, and to provide a reference basis for individualised diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Primary outcomes

  1. Interleukin-2、4、5、13 (IL-2、4、5、13)

    Time frame: Basline

    Airway inflammation will be assessed using the IL-2、4、5、13.

  2. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ)

    Time frame: Basline

    Airway inflammation will be assessed using the IFN-γ.

  3. Tumor necrosis factor-β (TNF-β)

    Time frame: Basline

    Airway inflammation will be assessed using the TNF-β.

  4. Eosinophil cationic proteins (ECP)

    Time frame: Basline

    Airway inflammation will be assessed using the ECP.

  5. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)

    Time frame: Basline

    Airway inflammation will be assessed using the IgE.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)

    Time frame: Basline

    Higher FeNO values indicate higher airway inflammation.

  2. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)

    Time frame: Basline

    Lung function will be assessed using the FEV1.

  3. Forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Time frame: Basline

    Lung function will be assessed using the FEV1.

  4. FVC as the percentage of the predicted value (FVC%)

    Time frame: Basline

    Lung function will be assessed using the FVC%.

  5. Forced expiratory volume in one second / forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC)

    Time frame: Basline

    Lung function will be assessed using the FEV1/FVC.
