SEGURA, Berenice Balderas et al. Application of metabolomic models for the identificaron of coPD in populations exposed to wood smoke in an indigenous community in Mexico. Acta toxicol. argent. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.3, pp.2-2. ISSN 1851-3743.

Purpose: to evaluate metabolic disorders of the pathophysiology of the lung, the exhaled breath is mainly used, this has become highly relevant as a non-invasive, low-cost, fast and safe diagnostic method. The objective of this study is to apply metabolomic models for the identification of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in a vulnerable population exposed to biomass burning in an indigenous community in Mexico. Methods: The study consisted of 142 participants, 44 patients with COPD associated with biomass burning, 60 controls and 38 indigenous population exposed to biomass burning (PIE). Exhaled breath samples were analyzed using an electronic nose (HERACLES II, Alpha MOS). With the data obtained, a Canonical Analy-sis of Principal Coordinates (CAP) was performed, which was used for the prediction of COPD of IEP and the concentration of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) in urine samples was determined. Results: A total of 59 VOCs were identified in the exhaled breath samples of the study groups, which were used to establish a discrimination model between the chemical fingerprint of the COPD patient group and the control group. The CAP model indicated a separation between the chemical fingerprints of COPD patients and healthy subjects, with a correct prediction of 91,34%, with a sensitivity and specificity of 93,2 and 96,7%, respectively. 10 IEP participants with an obstructive pattern and a high concentration of 1-OHP were found, determining that there is a concentration of 1,31 ± 0,67gg/mol of creatinine. This concentration is more than 5 times above the reference values established in 2001, which is 0,24 |jg/mol of creatinine. When comparing the results of the Chemical fingerprint of the PIE, it was positioned in the COPD group. Conclusion: It was possible to obtain an opportune diagnosis in a vulnerable population using metabolomics and exposure and pulmonary effects were demonstrated in the indigenous population of San Luis Potosí.
