Abstract
A simple and stable cataluminescence (CTL) sensing platform based on a single sensing material for effective and rapid detection of aldehydes is an urgent need due to growing concerns for the environment, security, and health. Here, an effective and user-friendly identification method is successfully proposed to determine six common aldehydes of homologous compounds via a heterothermic CTL sensor system. Using Gd2O3 with excellent catalytic activity as a sensing material, thermodynamic and kinetic insights into the interactions between Gd2O3 and aldehydes at different temperatures were extracted and integrated to generate a unique constellation profile for each tested aldehyde, whereby achieving their effective and prompt determination. Moreover, the sensor system allowed the quantitative analysis of aldehydes with detection limits of 0.001, 0.009, 0.011, 0.011, 0.007, and 0.003 μg mL-1. Significantly, the sensor system had an excellent stability of up to 30 days. The CTL sensing platform was constructed based on a thermal regulation strategy that can provide a new approach to chemical agent identification.

Abstract
In the clinic, small-molecule metabolites (SMMs) in blood are highly convincing indicators for disease diagnosis, such as cancer. However, challenges still exist for detection of SMMs due to their low concentration and complicated components in blood. In this work, we report the design of a novel "selenium signature" nanoprobe (Se nanoprobe) for efficient identification of multiple aldehyde metabolites in blood. This Se nanoprobe consists of magnetic nanoparticles that can enrich aldehyde metabolites from a complex environment, functionalized with photosensitive "selenium signature" hydrazide molecules that can react with aldehyde metabolites. Upon irradiation with UV, the aldehyde derivatives can be released from the Se nanoprobe and further sprayed by mass spectrometry through ambient ionization (AIMS). By quantifying the selenium isotope distribution (MS/MS) from the derivatization product, accurate detection of several aldehyde metabolites, including valeraldehyde (Val), heptaldehyde (Hep), 2-furaldehyde (2-Fur), 10-undecenal aldehyde (10-Und), and benzaldehyde (Ben), is realized. This strategy reveals a new solution for quick and accurate cancer diagnosis in the clinic.

[PMID: 38147163 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05451-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Three distinct models were utilized to investigate the combined impacts of serum aldehyde exposure and periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from 525 participants in the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The directed acyclic graphs (DAG) were used to select a minimal sufficient adjustment set of variables (MSAs). To investigate the relationship between aldehydes and periodontitis, we established three models including multiple logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) model, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model. RESULTS After taking all covariates into account, the multiple logistic regression model revealed that elevated concentrations of isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde were strongly associated with periodontitis (isopentanaldehyde: OR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.34-4.23; propanaldehyde: OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.08-2.13). Furthermore, the third tertile concentration of isopentanaldehyde was associated with a 2.04-fold increase in the incidence of periodontitis (95% CI: 1.05-3.95) compared to the first tertile concentration, with a P for trend = 0.04. RCS models showed an "L"-shaped relationship between isopentanaldehyde and periodontitis (P for nonlinear association < 0.01), with inflection point of 0.43 ng/mL. BKMR identified a strong connection between mixed aldehydes and periodontitis, with isopentanaldehyde exhibiting the greatest posterior inclusion probability (PIP) with 0.901 and propanaldehyde exhibiting a PIP with 0.775. CONCLUSIONS Isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde are positively associated with the risk of periodontitis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Periodontitis may be associated with exposure to mixed aldehyde. This study emphasizes the important role of aldehydes in primary prevention of periodontitis.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:115295-115309. [PMID: 37880399 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-30546-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
This study sought to examine hitherto unresearched relationships between serum terpenes and the prevalence of dyslipidemia. Serum terpenes such as limonene, α-pinene, and β-pinene from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used as independent variables in this cross-sectional study. Continuous lipid variables included total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), residual cholesterol (RC), and apolipoprotein B (Apo B). Binary lipid variables (elevated TC, ≥5.18 mmol/L; lowered HDL-C, <1.04 mmol/L in men, and <1.30 mmol/L in women; elevated non-HDL-C, ≥4.2 mmol/L; elevated TG, ≥1.7 mmol/L; elevated LDL-C, ≥3.37 mmol/L; elevated RC, ≥1.0 mmol/L; and elevated Apo B, ≥1.3 g/L) suggest dyslipidemia. The relationships between the mixture of serum terpenes with lipid variables were investigated using weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR). The study for TC, HDL-C, and non-HDL-C included a total of 1,528 people, whereas the analysis for TG, LDL-C, RC, and Apo B comprised 714 participants. The mean age of the overall participants was 47.69 years, and 48.77% were male. We found that tertiles of serum terpene were positively associated with binary (elevated TC, non-HDL-C, TG, LDL-C, RC, Apo B, and lowered HDL-C) and continuous (TC, non-HDL-C, TG, LDL-C, RC, and Apo B, but not HDL-C) serum lipid variables. WQS regression and BKMR analysis revealed that the mixture of serum terpenes was linked with the prevalence of dyslipidemia. According to our data, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was correlated with serum concentrations of three terpenes both separately and collectively.

Abstract
Aldehydes are recognized environmental toxicants that may affect lipid metabolism. For instance, acrolein has been found to increase serum triglyceride (TG) levels exclusively. However, it remains unclear whether other aldehydes are also associated with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), and what mechanisms may be involved. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2013-2014) to identify associations between serum aldehydes, liver enzymes, and HTG. Serum aldehydes included crotonaldehyde (CRAL), propanaldehyde (3AL), butyraldehyde (4AL), pentanaldehyde (5AL), isopentanaldehyde (I5AL), and heptanaldehyde (7AL). Liver enzymes included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). HTG was defined as fasting TG levels ≥ 1.7 mmol/L. Aldehyde co-exposure was quantified using weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), while mediation analysis was performed to investigate the role of liver enzymes. Among 1474 participants (mean age 38.6 years, male 50.0%), 426 were diagnosed with HTG. 4AL, 5AL, I5AL, and 7AL were shown to be positively associated with HTG (all P values <0.05). Aldehydes co-exposure was also positively associated with HTG (OR 1.706, 95%CI 1.299-2.240), with 5AL contributing the highest weight (35.3%). Furthermore, aldehydes co-exposure showed positive associations with ALT, AST, and GGT (all P values <0.05), and all four liver enzymes were positively associated with HTG (all P values <0.05). Mediation analysis revealed that liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and GGT) may mediate the associations of 5AL and 7AL with HTG (all P values <0.05). This study identified a positive association between aldehyde co-exposure and HTG, which may be partially mediated by liver enzymes.

Abstract
Aliphatic aldehydes are reactive electrophilic carbonyls that cross-link with DNA and proteins leading to cellular toxicity and disease pathogenesis. This toxicity is due to the cooperative effect of multiple aldehydes via a common mechanism. Therefore, live-cell imaging of total aliphatic aldehydes, small-to-long chain (C1-C10), is highly desired to decipher their physiological and pathological functions. However, sensors for imaging total cellular aliphatic aldehydes are currently lacking despite their high concentrations (∼80 to >500 μM) inside cells. Herein, we report chemical sensors that generate a benzimidazole moiety upon reaction with aliphatic aldehydes of different chain lengths (C1-C10), resulting in turn-on fluorescence. These sensors exhibit high quantum yields, high dynamic range, and enable the quantification of changes in both the exogenous administration of aldehydes and endogenous real-time formation of aliphatic aldehydes in live mammalian cells. This tool has great potential to transform aldehyde research by illuminating cellular metabolites that have remained elusive in living systems.

Abstract
Exposure to environmental chemicals could disturb the balance of sex hormones. However, the studies on Benzaldehyde, Isopentanaldehyde exposure and sex hormones are still limited. Based on the data of 1064 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we used the linear regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model to evaluate the associations of Benzaldehyde/Isopentanaldehyde exposure with testosterone (TT), estradiol (E2), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index (FAI) and the ratio of TT to E2 (TT/E2). A ln-unit increase in Benzaldehyde was associated with lower TT (β = -0.048, P = 0.030) and E2 (β = -0.094, P = 0.046) in all participants. After further adjustment for menopausal status, Benzaldehyde was negatively associated with E2 (β = -0.174, P = 0.045) in females. The interaction between Benzaldehyde and gender was significant (Pinter = 0.031). However, Isopentanaldehyde showed a positive association with SHBG and TT/E2 in all participants (all P < 0.05). The positive associations of Isopentanaldehyde with TT, SHBG and TT/E2 were found in males but not in females. RCS plots illustrated the linear associations of Benzaldehyde with E2 (Pnon-linear = 0.05) in females and Isopentanaldehyde with TT (Pnon-linear = 0.07) and TT/E2 (Pnon-linear = 0.350) in males. The non-linear relationships were identified between Isopentanaldehyde and SHBG in males (Pnon-linear = 0.035). Our findings indicated the effects of Benzaldehyde and Isopentanaldehyde exposure on sex hormones, and the effects had the gender specificity. Cohort studies and high-quality in vitro and in vivo experiments are needed to confirm the specific effects and uncover the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Environmental pollutants could be implicated in the cause of female infertility beyond traditional factors. Until now, no study has focused on the association of environmental exposure to aldehydes with female infertility. This study intended to investigate the possible impact of serum levels of aldehyde on female infertility. A cross-sectional study was performed on 516 nationally representative participants from 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in US. Multivariate logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines were used to examine the association between serum levels of aldehydes and the risk of female infertility. Women in the highest tertile of exposure to benzaldehyde had a 66% (odds ratio [OR] = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.14-0.79) lower risk of infertility compared to those in the lowest tertile, after adjusting for other variables. Restricted cubic spline indicated a linear and negative association of benzaldehyde with female infertility (p for nonlinearity = 0.74), while other aldehydes did not exhibit a significant correlation. In summary, this cross-sectional study indicates that higher benzaldehyde level correlated with a lower rate of female infertility, which could help guide future research and contribute to the development of interventions to prevent or treat infertility and improve reproductive health outcomes.

Application of untargeted volatile profiling in inflammatory bowel disease research. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023:10.1007/s00216-023-04748-x. [PMID: 37233766 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04748-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosis depends on criteria based on histological, endoscopic, radiological, and clinical results. These studies show drawbacks as being expensive, invasive, and time-consuming. In this work, an untargeted metabolomic strategy based on the monitoring of volatile compounds in serum by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is proposed as a complementary, fast, and efficient test for IBD patient diagnosis. To develop the method and build a chemometric model that allows the IBD diagnosis, serum samples including IBD patients and healthy volunteers were collected. Analyses were performed by incubating 400 µL of serum for 10 min at 90 °C. For data processing, an untargeted metabolomic strategy was used. A total of 96 features were detected, of which a total of 10 volatile compounds could be identified and confirmed by means of the analysis of real standards. The chemometric treatment consisted of a discriminant analysis of orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS-DA) obtaining a 100% of classification rate, since all the analyzed samples were correctly classified.

Abstract
The relationship between aldehyde exposure and metabolic syndrome is unclear; hence, we aimed to investigate the association between serum aldehyde concentrations and metabolic syndrome. We analyzed the data of 1471 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey enrolled from 2013 to 2014. The association of serum aldehyde concentrations with metabolic syndrome was assessed via generalized linear models as well as restricted cubic splines, and endpoint events were further analyzed. After adjusting for covariates, both moderate (odds ratio [OR] = 2.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34-5.56) and high (OR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.06-4.07) concentrations of isovaleraldehyde were associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome. Interestingly, although a moderate concentration of valeraldehyde was associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.70-1.65), a high concentration was not (OR = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.17-1.79). Restricted cubic splines revealed a non-linear association between valeraldehyde and metabolic syndrome, and threshold effect analysis revealed that the inflection point for valeraldehyde concentration was 0.7 ng/mL. The results of the subgroup analysis revealed differences in the relationship of aldehyde exposure with components of metabolic syndrome. High isovaleraldehyde concentrations may increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, and valeraldehyde demonstrated a J-shaped relationship with the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Aldehyde-containing metabolites are reactive electrophiles that have attracted extensive attention due to their widespread occurrence in organisms and natural foods. Herein we described a newly-designed Girard's reagent, 1-(4-hydrazinyl-4-oxobutyl)pyridin-1-ium bromide (HBP), as charged tandem mass (MS/MS) tags to facilitate selective capture, sensitive detection and semi-targeted discovery of aldehyde metabolites via hydrazone formation. After HBP labeling, the detection signals of the test aldehydes were increased by 21-2856 times, with the limits of detection were 2.5-7 nM. Upon isotope-coded derivatization with a pair of labeling reagents, HBP-d0 and its deuterium-labeled counterpart HBP-d5, the aldehyde analytes were converted to hydrazone derivatives, which generated characteristic neutral fragments of 79 Da and 84 Da, respectively. The isobaric HBP-d0/HBP-d5 labeling based LC-MS/MS method was validated by relative quantification of human urinary aldehydes (slope=0.999, R2 > 0.99, RSDs ≤ 8.5%) and discrimination analysis between diabetic and control samples. The unique isotopic doubles (Δm/z = 5 Da) by dual neutral loss scanning (dNLS) provided a generic reactivity-based screening strategy that allowed non-targeted profiling and identification of endogenous aldehydes even amidst noisy data. The LC-dNLS-MS/MS screening of cinnamon extracts led to finding 61 possible natural aldehydes and guided discovery of 10 previously undetected congeners in this medicinal plant.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between aldehyde exposure and bone health in humans remains unclear. This study was to evaluate the association of serum aldehydes with bone mineral density (BMD) and osteopenia/osteoporosis. METHODS We analyzed the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cross-sectional data from 2013 to 2014. Weighted multivariate-adjusted linear regression and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between specific aldehydes and osteopenia/osteoporosis. Associations between aldehyde combinations and BMD were also evaluated using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) method. RESULTS Compared with men in the first tertile, those in the third tertile of propanaldehyde concentration were negatively associated with proximal femur and lumbar spine BMD. Significant inverse associations were observed between benzaldehyde exposure and trochanter BMD in women. Benzaldehyde increased the risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis 2.75-fold [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.06, 7.11] in the highest tertile in women compared to the lowest tertile concentration. In males, the prevalence of total femur, femur neck, and trochanter osteopenia/osteoporosis was significantly higher in the highest versus the lowest tertile of propanaldehyde exposure, with odds ratios (ORs) of 6.84 (95% CI = 2.33, 20.04), 2.72 (95% CI = 1.18, 6.27), and 3.26 (95% CI = 1.25, 8.56), respectively. RCS regression also showed decreased BMD continuously with increasing serum mixed aldehyde levels. CONCLUSIONS Serum aldehyde concentrations were associated with low BMD and high osteopenia/osteoporosis risk in adults, with propanaldehyde and benzaldehyde being the most critical. Co-exposure to aldehyde combinations was negatively correlated with BMD.

Abstract
Environmental pollution sources may play a key role in the pathogenesis of nephrolithiasis, although the link between environmental aldehyde exposure and the incidence of nephrolithiasis is unclear. The researchers in this study set out to see whether adult kidney stone formation was linked to environmental aldehydes. We examined data from 10,175 adult participants over the age of 20 who took part in the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was a cross-sectional research. A logistic regression model was employed in this work to examine the relationship between aldehyde exposure and kidney stones, machine learning was utilized to predict the connection of different parameters with the development of kidney stones, and a subgroup analysis was performed to identify sensitive groups. After controlling for all confounding variables, the results revealed that isopentanaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and hexanaldehyde were risk factors for kidney stone formation, with odds ratio (OR) of 2.47, 1.12, and 1.17, respectively, and 95 percent confidence intervals (95% CI) of 1.15-5.34, 1.02-1.22, and 1.00-1.36. Kidney stones may be a result of long-term exposure to aldehydes, which may cause them to form. Environmental pollution-related aldehyde exposure might give a novel notion and direction for future study into the process of kidney stone production, even if the cause is yet unknown.

Abstract
Background Exposure to ambient pollutants and chemicals were found to be associated with increased risk of hypertension. However, the relationship between the increased aldehyde exposure and hypertension are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the potential associations of serum aldehydes levels with prevalent hypertension. Methods A total of 1,733 U.S. adults with data on hypertension outcome and serum aldehydes measurement from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2014 were included. The serum levels of aldehydes were measured via an automated analytical method using solid phase microextraction gas chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Multivariate logistic regression models were adopted to assess the associations between six selected aldehydes exposure (benzaldehyde, butyraldehyde, heptanaldehyde, hexanaldehyde, isopentanaldehyde, and propanaldehyde) and prevalence of hypertension. Results The mean age was 48.0 ± 16.7 years and an approximately equivalent of sex distribution was observed (female 49.9%). There seems to be a numerically higher level of hexanaldehyde in participants with hypertension when compared to participants without hypertension (2.6 ± 3.9 ng/mL vs. 2.3 ± 1.1 ng/mL). After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 2.15 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.33–3.51] in participants from the highest quartile of serum hexanaldehyde concentration in comparison to those from the lowest quartile. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses showed generally similar results. Conclusion In summary, current evidence suggested that increased serum hexanaldehyde level was positively associated with prevalent hypertension in U.S. adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of mixed aldehydes exposure with diabetes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore associations between serum aldehydes concentration and diabetes. METHODS We analyzed associations between aldehydes and diabetes using data from 1795 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2014 by multiple logistic regression models. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) was used to evaluate the combined association of serum aldehydes on prediabetes and diabetes. RESULTS Isopentanaldehyde increased the risk of diabetes 2.09 fold (95%CI:1.05-4.16) in the highest tertile, compared to the lowest-tertile concentration after adjusting for covariates, with a p-value for trend (P-t) equal to 0.041, in females. The adjusted OR of prediabetes with a 95% CI for the highest tertile was 0.52(0.28, 0.97) for benzaldehyde in females (P-t = 0.034). We also found associations in the male group between butyraldehyde and diabetes for the second (OR:2.80, 95%CI:1.35-5.79) and third (OR:2.59, 95%CI:1.30-5.17) tertile levels (P-t = 0.010). The risk of diabetes increased 2.55 fold (95%CI: 1.26-5.16, P-t = 0.008), in subjects in the highest tertile of hexanaldehyde concentration. Other aldehydes did not show a statistically significant association with diabetes or prediabetes. The BKMR model showed a positive association of mixed aldehydes with diabetes in males, and butyraldehyde showed a significant positive trend with the highest posterior inclusion probability (PIP = 0.85). Mixed aldehydes increased female's risk from prediabetes to diabetes in which isopentanaldehyde had the highest posterior inclusion probability (PIP = 0.67). CONCLUSIONS The mixed aldehydes might increase the risk of suffering from diabetes in males and accelerate the progression of diabetes in females, in which butyraldehyde and isopentanaldehyde play the most important roles.

The Combination of Cigarette Smoking and Alcohol Consumption Synergistically Increases Reactive Carbonyl Species in Human Male Plasma. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22169043.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are major risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases. Although it has been reported that the combination of these habits worsens risks, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) cause chemical modifications of biological molecules, leading to alterations in cellular signaling pathways, and total RCS levels have been used as a lipid peroxidation marker linked to lifestyle-related diseases. In this study, at least 41 types of RCS were identified in the lipophilic fraction of plasma samples from 40 subjects using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS). Higher levels of 10 alkanals, 5 trans-2-alkenals, 1 cis-4-alkenal, and 3 alkadienals were detected in the smoking/drinking group (N = 10) as compared to those with either habit (N = 10 each) or without both habits (N = 10) in the analysis of covariances adjusted for age and BMI. The levels of 3 alkanals, 1 trans-2-alkenal, 1 alkadienal, and 1 4-hydroxy-2-alkenal in the smoking/drinking group were significantly higher than those in the no-smoking/drinking and no-smoking/no-drinking groups. These results strongly indicate that the combination of cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking synergistically increases the level and variety of RCS in the circulating blood, and may further jeopardize cellular function.

Abstract
Aldehydes are known carcinogens and irritants that can negatively impact health. They are present in tobacco smoke, the environment, and food. The prevalence of aldehyde exposure and potential health impact warrants a population-wide study of serum aldehydes as exposure biomarkers. We analyzed 12 aldehydes in sera collected from 1843 participants aged 12 years or older in the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Several aldehydes were detected at high rates, such as isopentanaldehyde (99.2%) and propanaldehyde (88.3%). We used multiple linear regression models to examine the impact of tobacco smoke and dietary variables on serum concentrations of isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde. Although 12 serum aldehydes were analyzed and compared to tobacco smoke exposure, only isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde showed any significant association with tobacco smoke exposure. Survey participants who smoked 1-10 cigarettes per day (CPD) had 168% higher serum isopentanaldehyde and 28% higher propanaldehyde compared with nonusers. Study participants who smoked 11-20 CPD had higher serum isopentanaldehyde (323%) and propanaldehyde (70%). Similarly, study participants who smoked >20 CPD had 399% higher serum isopentanaldehyde and 110% higher serum propanaldehyde than nonexposed nonusers. The method could not, however, differentiate between nonexposed nonusers and nonusers exposed to secondhand smoke for either of these two aldehydes. No dietary variables were consistently predictive of serum isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde concentrations. This report defines baseline concentrations of serum aldehydes in the U.S. population and provides a foundation for future research into the potential health effects of aldehydes. In addition, this study suggests that tobacco smoke is a significant source of exposure to some aldehydes such as isopentanaldehyde and propanaldehyde.

Quantification of seven microbial volatile organic compounds in human serum by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 266:128970. [PMID: 33228985 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.128970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 10/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are primary and secondary metabolites of fungal and bacterial growth. Changes in environmental conditions (e.g., humidity, light, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) influence microbial growth in indoor environments. Prolonged human exposure to MVOCs has been directly associated with sick building syndrome (SBS), respiratory irritation, and asthma-like symptoms. However, no method exists for assessing MVOC exposure by quantifying them in human serum. We developed a novel, high-throughput automated method for quantifying seven MVOCs (3-methylfuran, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 3-octanone, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and geosmin) in human serum. The method quantifies the target analytes using solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at low parts-per-billion levels. Limits of detection ranged from 0.076 to 2.77 μg/L. This method provides excellent linearity over the concentration range for the analytes, with coefficients of determination >0.992. Recovery in human serum was between 84.5% and 113%, and analyte precision ranged from 0.38% to 8.78%. The intra-day and inter-day reproducibility showed coefficients of variation ≤11% and ≤8%, respectively. Accurate and precise quantification of MVOCs is necessary for detecting and quantifying harmful human exposures in environments with active microbial growth. The method is well suited for high-throughput analysis to aid investigations of unhealthy exposures to microbial emissions.

Abstract
The effect of aldehyde exposure on the cardiovascular system remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine whether aldehyde exposure is associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We analyzed associations between aldehydes and CVD using data from 1962 adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2014. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were used to examine the association between aldehydes and CVD. The prevalence of CVD was 10.3%. After adjusting for confounding factors, including age, sex, education level, race, diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol use, hypertension, body mass index, the poverty-income ratio, physical activity, energy intake, high-density cholesterol (HDL) and low-density cholesterol (LDL), compared with the lowest quartiles, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CVD across the quartiles were 0.52 (0.31, 0.87), 0.73 (0.43, 1.22), and 1.13 (0.68, 1.86) for benzaldehyde and 1.48 (0.87, 2.52), 1.70 (1.01, 2.92), and 2.13 (1.19, 3.86) for isopentanaldehyde. There was no significant association between other aldehydes and CVD. The restricted cubic spline plot showed a J-curve relationship between benzaldehyde and CVD. The inflection point for the curve was found at a benzaldehyde level of 0.98 ng/ml. The ORs (95% CIs) for CVD were 0.51 (0.31, 0.86) and 1.58 (1.15, 2.17) on the left and right sides of the inflection point, respectively. Our results demonstrate a J-curve relationship between benzaldehyde and CVD. Isopentanaldehyde is positively associated with CVD. Further study is warranted to verify this association and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Previous studies have identified several genetic and environmental risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but little is known about the associations between serum aldehydes and CVD risk. Herein, we examined associations between serum levels of aldehydes and the risk of CVD and CVD subtypes among 1947 U.S. adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) was used to analyze the combined effect of serum aldehydes on the overall risk of CVD. We found that isopentanaldehyde concentrations were positively associated with the odds of CVD (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.17; 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI): 1.36, 3.46). The result of BKMR also indicated a positive association of mixed aldehydes with CVD risk. Isopentanaldehyde had the highest posterior inclusion probabilities (PIP = 0.90). Each one-unit (ng/mL) increase in the isopentanaldehyde concentration was associated with a 25.0 mg/dL increase in triglycerides and a 0.9 × 109/L increase in white blood cell (WBC) count in the fully adjusted model. Current evidence suggests that isopentanaldehyde may increase the risk of CVD by elevating triglycerides and WBC count.

Abstract
Terpenes are a class of volatile organic hydrocarbons commonly produced by vegetation and released into the atmosphere. These compounds are responsible for the scents of pine forests, citrus fruits, and some flowers. Human terpene exposure can come from inhalation, diet, smoking, and more recently, using e-cigarettes. Terpenes are present in tobacco smoke and are used as flavor chemicals in e-liquids. The health effects of terpenes are not widely known, though several studies have suggested that they may prove useful in future medical applications. We have developed a novel, high-throughput method of quantifying seven terpenes (α-pinene, β-pinene, β-myrcene, 3-carene, limonene, β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene) in human serum to aid human-exposure investigations. This method employs headspace sampling using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to detect and quantify five monoterpenes and two sesquiterpenes in the low parts-per-trillion to low parts-per-billion range. The intraday and interday variability (percent error) of the method are ≤2 and ≤11%, respectively. In addition, this method showed excellent recovery in human serum (between 80 and 120% for all analytes). The assay precision ranges between 4.0 and 11%. Limits of detection ranged between 0.032 and 0.162 μg/L. Using serum cotinine values to classify tobacco use showed that smokers have higher serum concentrations of six terpenes compared to nonusers. Terpene concentrations were 14-78% higher in smokers than nonusers. Our method can provide essential biomonitoring data to establish baseline exposure levels for terpenes in humans.

Abstract
Environmental pollutants may play a role in the aetiology of obesity beyond conventional factors. The associations between environmental exposure to aldehydes and obesity remain unclear. The objective of this study is to determine whether aldehyde exposure is associated with obesity in adults. We analysed data from 1977 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2014 aged ≥ 18 years. Obesity was assessed through body mass index (BMI) measurements. Generalized linear regression and restricted cubic spline models were analysed to assess the association between aldehydes and outcomes. After multivariable adjustment, isopentanaldehyde was inversely associated with obesity, while no significant association was observed between any other aldehydes and obesity. Compared with the lowest quartile, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) of obesity with a 95% confidence interval (CI) for the highest quartile was 0.50 (0.35, 0.70) for isopentanaldehyde. Analyses using a restricted cubic spline indicated that the association between isopentanaldehyde and obesity is nonlinear. Threshold effect analysis demonstrated that the inflection point of isopentanaldehyde was 1.26 ng/ml. Each 1-fold increase in isopentanaldehyde exhibited an 18% decrease in the odds of obesity (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.79-1.09) on the left side of the inflection point and an 81% decrease (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.08-0.45) on the right side of the inflection point. Similar associations were also observed among isopentanaldehyde and abdominal obesity, BMI, and waist circumference. These cross-sectional results show a nonlinear and inverse association between isopentanaldehyde and obesity.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:7535-7546.

Abstract
A novel method for the quantification of the sulfur-containing metabolites of formaldehyde (thiazolidine carboxylic acid (TCA) and thiazolidine carbonyl glycine (TCG)) and acetaldehyde (methyl thiazolidine carboxylic acid (MTCA) and methyl thiazolidine carbonyl glycine (MTCG)) was developed and validated for human urine and plasma samples. Targeting the sulfur-containing metabolites of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in contrast to the commonly used biomarkers formate and acetate overcomes the high intra- and inter-individual variance. Due to their involvement in various endogenous processes, formate and acetate lack the required specificity for assessing the exposure to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, respectively. Validation was successfully performed according to FDA's Guideline for Bioanalytical Method Validation (2018), showing excellent performance with regard to accuracy, precision, and limits of quantification (LLOQ). TCA, TCG, and MTCG proved to be stable under all investigated conditions, whereas MTCA showed a depletion after 21 months. The method was applied to a set of pilot samples derived from smokers who consumed unfiltered cigarettes spiked with 13C-labeled propylene glycol and 13C-labeled glycerol. These compounds were used as potential precursors for the formation of 13C-formaldehyde and 13C-acetaldehyde during combustion. Plasma concentrations were significantly lower as compared to urine, suggesting urine as suitable matrix for a biomonitoring. A smoking-related increase of unlabeled biomarker concentrations could not be shown due to the ubiquitous distribution in the environment. While the metabolites of 13C-acetaldehyde were not detected, the described method allowed for the quantification of 13C-formaldehyde uptake from cigarette smoking by targeting the biomarkers 13C-TCA and 13C-TCG in urine.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A nitrogen-doped metal organic framework (MOF) based porous carbon (C-(C3N4@MOF)) was produced by the carbonization of a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) templated MOF (NH2-MIL-125). The C-(C3N4@MOF) was then coated on a stainless steel wire by sol-gel technique to serve as a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coating. The coated fiber was studied for the extraction of fourteen organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs) from different fruit and vegetable samples followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) detection. The C-(C3N4@MOF) coated fiber exhibited a high extraction capability for the OPPs. Both single factor optimization and response surface analysis (Box-Behnken Design) methods were implemented to optimize the experiment conditions for the extraction. The results indicated that the linear response for the fourteen OPPs was in the range from 0.69 to 3000 ng g-1 and the coefficients of determination (r2) ranged from 0.9981 to 0.9998. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N = 3) ranged from 0.23 to 7.5 ng g-1. The method recoveries (R) of the fourteen OPPs for spiked fruit and vegetable samples were between 82.6% and 118%, with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) varying from 2.8% to 11.7%. The fiber can be reused over 100 times without a significant loss of extraction efficiency.
