Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression plays an important role in the occurrence and development of asthma. Nocturnal awakening secondary to asthma is a crucial sign of the deterioration of asthmatic outcomes. This study plans to determine the associations between depression, nocturnal awakening and asthmatic outcomes by using multi-dimensional analyses. METHODS Study population came from the Adult Asthma Call-Back Survey 2013-2017. Multivariable regression analysis with binomial or Poisson models, dose-dependent analysis and mediation analysis were used to explore the associations between depression and nocturnal awakening with asthmatic episodes/attacks, emergency room (ER) and hospital visits. RESULTS 18,684 physician-diagnosis asthmatics were included into this study. This population consisted of 31.4 % with nocturnal awakening and 37.6 % with depression. Multivariable binomial analyses suggested that nocturnal awakening and depression were positively associated with asthmatic episodes/attacks and ER visits. Dose-dependent analyses demonstrated that the increase of nocturnal awakening was positively associated with the increase of depression and three asthmatic outcomes. Asthmatics with depression had the higher prevalence (adjusted OR = 1.17, 95%CI: 1.08-1.27) and frequency (adjusted RR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.07-1.10) of nocturnal awakening than those without depression. Mediation analyses suggested that clarification of verbiage denoted trivial effect of depression on the associations between nocturnal awakening with asthmatic outcomes, while nocturnal awakening mildly mediated these associations between depression with asthmatic episodes/attacks (15.26 %, 95%CI: 7.29 %-28.7 %) and ER visits (13.29 %, 95%CI: 5.33 %-44.12 %). LIMITATION The cross-sectional nature limited inferences on causality. CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed that depression and nocturnal awakening might affect asthmatic outcomes. Nocturnal awakening harbored the mediated effect in the correlations between depression and asthmatic outcomes.

Front Physiol 2023; 14:1019123. [PMID: 36846327 PMCID: PMC9950393 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1019123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Obesity is considered a risk factor for asthma exacerbation. However, limited studies have focused on the association of different levels of weight clusters with asthma. As such, we study the associations between different weight clusters with FeNO, blood eosinophils, and lung function among adult asthmatics. Methods: Data from 789 participants aged 20 years or older in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2012 were analyzed. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were used to determine the weight status. The study population was divided into five groups, including normal weight and low WC (153), normal weight and high WC (43), overweight and high WC (67), overweight and abdominal obesity (128), and general and abdominal obesity (398). A Multivariate linear regression model was used to evaluate the abovementioned associations after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Results: The adjusted models showed that general and abdominal obesity cluster (adjusted β = -0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): -1.08, -0.17 p < 0.01), and the normal weight with high WC cluster (adjusted β = -0.96, 95% CI: -1.74, -0.19 p < 0.05) were associated with lower levels of blood eosinophils percentage than normal weight and low WC cluster. A similar tendency was shown in the levels of FeNO, but the differences were not significant (p > 0.05). Furthermore, abdominal obesity clusters were significantly associated with lower FVC, FVC% predicted, and FEV1 measures than normal weight and low WC cluster, especially those individuals with general and abdominal obesity cluster. No association was found between different weight clusters and FEV1/FVCF ratio. The two other weight clusters did not show the association with any of the lung function measures. Conclusion: General and abdominal obesity were associated with lung function impairment and a significant reduction of FeNO and blood eosinophil percentage. This study emphasized the importance of concurrent determination of BMI and WC in asthma clinical practice.

[PMID: 36372874 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-03587-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies observed that sleep disorders potentially increased the risk of asthma and asthmatic exacerbation. We aimed to examine whether excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), probable insomnia, objective short sleep duration (OSSD), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affect all-cause mortality (ACM) in individuals with or without asthma.
Methods
We extracted relevant data from the Sleep Heart Health Study established in 1995–1998 with an 11.4-year follow-up. Multivariate Cox regression analysis with a proportional hazards model was used to estimate the associations between ACM and four sleep disorders among asthmatic patients and individuals without asthma. Dose-response analysis and machine learning (random survival forest and CoxBoost) further evaluated the impact of sleep disorders on ACM in asthmatic patients.
Results
A total of 4538 individuals with 990 deaths were included in our study, including 357 asthmatic patients with 64 deaths. Three multivariate Cox regression analyses suggested that OSSD (adjusted HR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.23–5.77) but not probable insomnia, EDS or OSA significantly increased the risk of ACM in asthmatic patients. Three dose-response analyses also indicated that the extension of objective sleep duration was associated with a reduction in ACM in asthmatic patients compared to very OSSD patients. Severe EDS potentially augmented the risk of ACM compared with asthmatics without EDS (adjusted HR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.11–8.56). Machine learning demonstrated that OSSD of four sleep disorders had the largest relative importance for ACM in asthmatics, followed by EDS, OSA and probable insomnia.
Conclusions
This study observed that OSSD and severe EDS were positively associated with an increase in ACM in asthmatic patients. Periodic screening and effective intervention of sleep disorders are necessary for the management of asthma.

Abstract
Objectives: We aim to determine whether comorbidity profiles, night sleep duration, and napping duration trajectories were associated with incident asthma in Chinese adults.Methods: A total of 7,655 community-dwelling individuals were included in this study. Latent class/profile analysis(LCA/LPA) identified comorbidity profiles, night sleep duration, and napping duration trajectories. A generalized additive model with binomial regression assessed the associations between incident asthma with sleep trajectories.Results: During a 7-year follow-up period, 205 individuals were newly diagnosed with asthma. LPA identified four trajectories of night sleep duration: dominant short (n = 2,480), dominant healthy-long (n = 1,405), long decreasing (n = 1875), and short increasing (n = 1895). We also found three trajectories of napping duration: short increasing (n = 3,746), stable normal (n = 1,379), and long decreasing (n = 2,530). We found three comorbidity profiles: dominant heart diseases or risks (n = 766), multiple disorders (n = 758), and minimal or least disorders (n = 6,131). Compared with dominant short night sleep duration, three other trajectories were associated with significantly decreasing incident asthma. Minimal or least disorders profile was associated with a significant reduction of new-onset asthma than two other comorbidity profiles in dominant short night sleep duration.Conclusion: Our findings suggested that a dominant short night sleep duration trajectory potentially increases incident asthma in Chinese adults.

[PMID: 35685599 PMCID: PMC9159162 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3378821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Asthma is regarded as a heterogeneous disease with chronic airway inflammation and reversible airway limitation. Asthma itself and recurrent attacks of asthma can decrease sleep duration and increase the prevalence of short sleep duration. Systemic low-grade inflammation and obesity caused by short sleep duration have been known for a long time, which potentially affect the development of asthma. It would be interesting to study the interaction between short sleep duration and asthma. However, there are relatively few studies and no review about the association between short sleep duration and asthma. This article performed a review about the relationships between short sleep duration and asthmatic phenotype, laboratory tests, comorbidity, and clinical outcomes. Pooled studies about short sleep duration and asthma provided following four results: (1) compared with healthy sleep duration, short sleep duration seemingly increased the risk of central obesity in asthmatics; (2) short sleep duration potentially reduced the level of FeNO and increased lung function impairment in patients with asthma; (3) asthmatic comorbidities, mainly obesity and depression, were negatively associated with short sleep duration among asthmatics; (4) short sleep duration potentially increased the risks of asthma-related hospitalization and emergency care. However, almost all studies are based on subjective but not objective sleep duration. In addition, the study on sleep duration and cause-specific mortality in patients with asthma is relatively scant. Considering the effect of short sleep duration on the development of asthma, we recommend that periodic sleep monitoring for asthmatic management is very necessary.

Abstract
The development of precise medicine requires diagnostic probes to simultaneously satisfy an excellent detection limit and a wide linear analysis range because of enormous individual-discrepancy of disease biomarker concentrations, yet it remains challenging. Herein, an upconverison nanoprobe with a luminescence ratio flexibly tailored was designed for ultrasensitive monitoring exhaled nitric oxide to indicate the clinical course of asthma. Two independent emissions from the same nanoprobe can be discretionarily modulated to vary their intensity ratios for adapting different analysis requirements. Delightfully, this novel nanoprobe demonstrated a 100-fold lower detection limit compared with the traditional ratiometric fluorescence manner and a more broad linear detection range from the subpart per billion (ppb) level to hundreds of ppb. This ratio-adjustable fluorescence detection strategy holds great potential for miscellaneous disease diagnosis applications.
