To assess the association between exposure, oxidative stress, symptoms, and cardiorespiratory function in wildland firefighters.
We studied two Interagency Hotshot Crews with questionnaires, pulse wave analysis for arterial stiffness, spirometry, urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-isoprostane) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and the smoke exposure marker (urinary levoglucosan). Arterial stiffness was assessed by examining levels of the aortic augmentation index, expressed as a percentage. An oxidative stress score comprising the average of z-scores created for 8-OHdG and 8-isoprostane was calculated.
Mean augmentation index % was higher for participants with higher oxidative stress scores after adjusting for smoking status. Specifically for every one unit increase in oxidative stress score the augmentation index % increased 10.5% (95% CI: 2.5, 18.5%). Higher mean lower respiratory symptom score was associated with lower percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity.
Biomarkers of oxidative stress may serve as indicators of arterial stiffness in wildland firefighters.
评估野外消防员的暴露、氧化应激、症状与心肺功能之间的关联。
我们通过问卷调查、用于评估动脉僵硬度的脉搏波分析、肺活量测定、尿8-异前列腺素F2α(8-异前列腺素)和8-羟基-2'-脱氧鸟苷(8-OHdG)以及烟雾暴露标志物(尿左旋葡聚糖)对两支跨部门热射病急救小组进行了研究。通过检查以百分比表示的主动脉增强指数水平来评估动脉僵硬度。计算了一个氧化应激评分,该评分由为8-OHdG和8-异前列腺素创建的z分数的平均值组成。
在调整吸烟状态后,氧化应激评分较高的参与者的平均增强指数百分比更高。具体而言,氧化应激评分每增加一个单位,增强指数百分比就增加10.5%(95%置信区间:2.5,18.5%)。较高的平均下呼吸道症状评分与一秒用力呼气量/用力肺活量预测百分比降低有关。
氧化应激生物标志物可能作为野外消防员动脉僵硬度的指标。
