- Natural pigments widely distributed in nature, belonging to the flavonoid group of polyphenols
- Anthocyanidins as such are highly unstable molecules
- The attachment of glycosyl units and acyl groups affect significantly both the stability and reactivity of the
anthocyanin molecule

Naive Terapia
Different effects of bronchodilators and corticosteroids on breath-fingerprint: LABA, LAMA or their combination alone did not affect the shape of the BP, but only were associated with a mild decrease in the BP area; on the other hand, inhaled steroids significantly modified the shape of the radar plot profile.

The diagnostic and prognostic role of breath pattern analysis in the multi morbid patient
• 5. The e nose in neoplastic diseases
N d r 1: only 5% of mutations leading to cancer are inherited mutations; the vast majority of them occurs during normal DNA replication. Furthermore, multiple and not isolated mutations are eventually responsible for cancerogenesis (Tomasetti C et al. Sci. Transl. Med. (2017); 355: 1330–1334). N d r 2: Liquid biopsy is a promising diagnostic tool, but low availability of circulating cells and ctDNA makes it frequently inconclusive in early stage cancer (Bettegowda et al. Sci Transl Med. 2014; 6: 224ra24)

High sensitivity for lung cancer detection using analysis of exhaled carbonyl compounds (Schumer EM et al. (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2015;-:1-8)
• Methods: Patients with computed tomography–detected intrathoracic lesions and healthy control participants were enrolled from 2011 onward. One liter of breath was collected from a single exhalation from each participant. Concentrations of 2-butanone, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone,
• 2-hydroxyacetaldehyde, and 4-hydroxyhexanal were measured.
• Results: In all, 156 subjects had lung cancer, 65 had benign disease, and 194 were healthy controls. A total of 103 (66.0%) lung cancer patients were early stage (stage 0, I, and II). For 1 elevated cancer marker, breath analysis showed a sensitivity of 93.6%, and a specificity of 85.6% for lung cancer patients. Additionally, 83.7% of stage I tumors 2 cm were detected; whereas only 14% of the control population tested positive. In a comparison of cancer to benign disease, specificity was proportional to the number of elevated cancer markers present.
• Conclusions: Screening using a low-dose CT scan is associated with high cost, repeated radiation exposure, and low accrual. The high sensitivity, convenience, and low cost of breath analysis for carbonyl cancer markers suggests that it has the potential to become a primary screening modality for lung cancer.

Potential clinical uses of the e nose
• Non neoplastic respiratory diseases • COPD: as a proxy of spirometry • COPD: as an index of obstruction
severity • Asthma: as a diagnostic tool, but
not to grade severity • COPD and Asthma: to monitor the
adherence to the therapy • OSAS: as a measure of efficacy of
and adherence to CPAP • OSAS: likely to select patients
amenable to PSG
• Non neoplastic and non respiratory diseases
• Liver diseases: to distinguish cirrhotic from non cirrhotic cases
• Liver diseases: as a primary prognostic index
• CHF: likely weak as a diagnostic tool
• CHF: possibly a marker of response to the therapy
• Other chronic diseases: inconclusive or very preliminary evidence

Potential clinical uses of the e nose
• Neoplastic diseases

• Monitoring the response to the therapy of selected cancers
• Early detection of recurrence of selected cancers

E nose: main limitations
• Breath collection needs to be standardized and optimized
• Different types of e nose should be compared and consistency of results checked
• The graphical output should benefit from being translated in a numerical and easy to understand form
• Effects of age on the BP are unknown
• Clinical trials suffer from the usually small sample size
• In most studies the BP of the target disease was studied only in the absence of confounding by multimorbidity

E nose: strengths
• Non invasive and no risk procedure
• Low cost (<10 euros)
• Suitable for point of care analysis
• Flexible due to the temperature dependent selective VOCs extraction
• Highly reproducible
• Very sensitive to metabolic changes

E nose: perspectives 1
• Close cooperation between bio-engineers and physicians to manage the purely technical issues.
• Definition of age-standardized BP
• To identify disease-specific VOCs in order to capitalize on the e nose flexibility
• Moving from mono/oligocentric to multicentric confirmatory studies
• Pointing at discriminating the metabolic from the inflammatory markers in BP
• In chronic diseases prone to acute exacerbations, to distinguish baseline or chronicity-related signals from overimposed ones.
