研究目的
To develop a method that can support diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) by using FTIR mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy of breath.
研究成果
The study successfully linked cerebral palsy with specific VOCs in breath using mid-infrared spectroscopy, marking a first in chronic disease diagnosis through breath analysis. Future steps include studying other homogeneous diseases to build a comprehensive library for diagnostic purposes.
研究不足
The spectral range and signal-to-noise ratio of laser spectrometers are not superior to conventional FTIR spectrometers. The presence of water vapor in breath samples poses a challenge for VOC detection.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
FTIR mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy was used to analyze breath samples from healthy individuals and CP patients.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Breath samples were collected from 12 healthy volunteers and 14 CP patients.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Tedlar bags for breath sample collection, water suppression machine, Bruker Vertex70 spectrometer with a 4-m multipass cell.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Breath samples were dried using a water suppression machine before analysis in the spectrometer.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Manual inspection of spectral features with baseline correction was performed. Data analysis was conducted in a 15-dimensional space of molecular concentrations.
