Research Abstract

We obtained exhaled breath condensates (EBCs) from extremely low birth weight infants whose birth weights were less than 1000g. And we examined associations EBCs with clinical symptoms of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which is one of the respiratory complications with those infants. There was not any correlation pH in EBCs to the symptoms, including severity (p=0.77), steroid hormone administration (p=0.36), oxygenation therapy period (r=-0.277, p=0.89), mechanical ventilation period (r=0.21, p=0.29), and CT score (r=0.03, p=0.88). Most of the cytokines and chemokines in EBCs were not detected in the cytometric beads array. There was limitation of methods of measurement due to little amount of EBCs.
