Nanoparticles Analysis in Lung and Bronchi During Various Pulmonary Interstitial Diseases and Relationships With Their Aetiology (NANOPI)

September 11, 2015 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne

Nanoparticles Analysis in Lung and Bronchi During Various Pulmonary Interstitial Diseases and Relationships With Their Aetiology. A Monocentric Study

Nanoparticles (NP) are particles whose length, width and height are less than 100 nanometres. Over the past decade, industrial applications of NP have increased dramatically. Despite their widespread use, their true impact on human health remains unknown and poorly studied. NP exposure in humans primarily occurs via inhalation through the respiratory system. The aim of this study is to estimate the relationships between the nanoparticle load in the lung and bronchi and some interstitial lung diseases. In the aftermath of human exposure to asbestos, the pathological consequences of environmental exposure to nanomaterials could be evaluated upon a mineralogical analysis of pulmonary samples.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NP load
Time Frame: day 1

The load of NP is a composite outcome. It will be described according to their level of presence (high, moderate or low), their size and chemical analysis.

Analysis: The presence of NP will be assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The elemental compositions of both the particulate (pellet) and the soluble (supernatant) fractions of each sample will be measured by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The samples for which DLS and ICP-OES corroborated a relatively stronger NP load will be observed under transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field-emission electron microscopy (FESEM).
day 1

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between NP load in the lung and observed lung interstitial diseases
Time Frame: Day 1

The load of NP is a composite outcome. It will be described according to their level of presence (high, moderate or low), their size and chemical analysis.

The accurate diagnosis of the disease will be determined in accordance to the latest international guidelines, including the past history of each patient, the

professional courses with focus on potential NP exposure, environmental studies, tobacco or drug use and exhaustive research of collagen or vascular diseases.
Day 1
Correlation between NP load in the lung and NP load in blood specimen
Time Frame: Day 1
The load of NP is a composite outcome. It will be described according to their level of presence (high, moderate or low), their size and chemical analysis.
Day 1
Correlation between NP load in the lung and NP load in urine specimen
Time Frame: Day 1
The load of NP is a composite outcome. It will be described according to their level of presence (high, moderate or low), their size and chemical analysis.
