S12: The metabolomic characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the protein / peptide expression profiles in exhaled breath samples were detected using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and the characteristic changes of free DNA and miRNA in exhaled breath samples were analyzed using metagenomic sequencing. Multiple biomarkers associated with the progression of pneumoconiosis were screened from the three omics levels of metabolomics, proteomics, and genomics. At the same time, quantitative mapping models of the concentration of multiple biomarkers and different stages of pneumoconiosis development were established. Step 2: Construct an array of exhaled matter recognition sensors and establish a transmission model of response signals and the development stages of pneumoconiosis; S21: Combining the influence of electrode thickness, electrode material, and electrode structure on the working frequency and quality factor of quartz crystal microbalance chip, a high-frequency QCM performance prediction model is established. The high-frequency QCM performance prediction model is used to predict the preparation parameters that affect the chip sensitivity and stability. Based on the preparation parameters, the quartz crystal microbalance sensor is prepared. Then, an exhaled matter identification sensor array based on the quartz crystal microbalance sensor is constructed to achieve high specificity and high sensitivity identification of pneumoconiosis markers. S22: Place the exhaled matter identification sensor array in an environment with multiple biomarker concentrations to obtain the corresponding multiple response signals, and use the standard curve method to establish a conversion model between the response signals and biomarker concentrations.

This study focuses on high-frequency QCM chips fabricated under precisely controlled laboratory conditions. By accurately controlling electroplating parameters, the thickness of the electrode plating layer is precisely controlled. Micro-nano fabrication techniques are employed to precisely fabricate complex electrode layouts. The regulatory mechanisms of fabrication parameters, such as electrode plating thickness and electrode layout, on chip performance are analyzed. Advanced physical characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), are used to analyze the microstructure and electrode surface characteristics of the QCM chip in detail. Simultaneously, network analyzers and impedance analyzers are used for electrical testing to measure the chip's frequency response and Q-value.

Based on the analysis results, a high-frequency QCM performance prediction model is established. This model will be used to predict the impact of different fabrication parameters on the chip's sensitivity and stability, thereby guiding the optimization of electrode materials and design.

[0020] Targeting specific exhaled biomarkers for pneumoconiosis, this study employs a strategy combining multi-scale computation and experimental validation to precisely screen and analyze the response mechanisms of targeted sensor materials for pneumoconiosis-specific exhaled biomarkers. First, in the material screening stage, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to preliminarily evaluate the differences in response to the target analyte among different materials. Then, partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to clarify the classification contribution weight of each sensor material to the pneumoconiosis diagnostic model. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to cluster the cross-response data of the sensor array to quantify the discriminative power. Finally, SHAP (SHapley Additive Explanations) analysis was used to clarify the specific contribution and mechanism of action of a single sensor in the diagnostic model prediction, analyzing the contribution of each sensor to the classification model and eliminating those with a contribution < With 5% redundant units, a complete multi-level quantitative system for material evaluation is formed. Secondly, molecular docking simulation is used to predict the molecular-level interaction between candidate sensing materials and target volatile organic compounds and biomolecules, clarify the interaction sites and binding modes, and density functional theory (DFT) is used to analyze the binding energy, orbital electron distribution and charge transfer characteristics of the material and the target molecules in depth, so as to predict the specific recognition ability of the material and initially screen out sensing candidate materials with specific recognition performance. Based on the above prediction results, candidate materials are synthesized by solvent thermal method, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other preparation processes, and the microstructure and crystal characteristics of the materials are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The elemental composition and chemical state of the material surface are analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the topological structure and fine spatial distribution characteristics of active sites on the material surface are measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the response sensitivity, selectivity and stability of the sensing material to the target analyte are determined by fluorescence response, redox response, electrical conductivity and oscillation response dynamics testing. The non-covalent interaction mechanisms such as hydrogen bonding, charge transfer and electrostatic interaction are determined by dynamic response data, and the response signal generation and conduction model is established. Based on the above quantitative contribution, intelligent algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) or particle swarm optimization (PSO) are further applied, with classification accuracy (Accuracy) and feature redundancy as the fitness function, to iteratively select the optimal subset and optimize the sensing array structure combination, in order to achieve high specificity and high sensitivity recognition of pneumoconiosis markers, and to construct an exhaled breath recognition sensor array based on a quartz crystal microbalance sensor.

[0021] The application provides a dust pneumo exhaled gas biomarker sensing technology based on a high-frequency quartz crystal microbalance array and a multi-element information fusion dust pneumo risk early warning method. On this basis, a conversion model of the response signal and the biomarker concentration is established by using a standard curve method, and a conduction model of multiple response signals and different dust pneumo development stages is established based on the quantitative mapping model and the conversion model, so that the feature dimension determined based on the conduction model can provide a basis for feature extraction and fusion of the double-path feature enhancement strategy, ensure that the feature extraction process is highly relevant to the dust pneumo pathological mechanism, and greatly improve the prediction accuracy of the subsequent model. After data preprocessing, environmental background interference and non-specific signals can be effectively removed, and the purity of the obtained signals can be effectively ensured. Then, the double-path feature enhancement strategy is used for feature extraction, which can process different dimensional feature information in parallel, significantly improving the feature extraction capability in complex scenes. At the same time, combined with the transfer learning technology, the model parameters are pre-trained by using historical data collected under different environmental conditions, so as to quickly adapt to and process the differences in signal drift under different environments, significantly enhance the generalization ability and robustness of the drift compensation model; at the same time, the reinforcement learning technology is introduced, which can maximize the accuracy and stability of drift compensation, effectively ensuring the monitoring accuracy. Finally, the lung health evaluation model is used for real-time monitoring of the exhaled gas of the detected person, which can efficiently and accurately evaluate the lung health status.

S12-2: Sample collection; First, the behavior of the test subjects is standardized, and then the exhaled air of the subjects is collected using a polytetrafluoroethylene gas bag. Multiple breaths are collected continuously, and 3L of exhaled air is collected; 10 mL of exhaled air condensate is collected from each subject using a constant temperature condensation device.

3. The method for lung health monitoring and pneumoconiosis risk assessment according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S12 of step one, the process of establishing a quantitative mapping model between biomarker concentration and the development stage of pneumoconiosis is as follows: S12-1: Sample detection and analysis; Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) were used to analyze inorganic gas molecules and volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath; Label-free quantitative proteomics technology, combined with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS), was used to analyze the protein / peptide expression profiles in exhaled breath condensate; Exosomal miRNA sequencing and DNA methylation microarrays were used to analyze the nucleic acid components in exhaled breath; Biomarkers associated with pneumoconiosis were identified from the three omics levels of metabolomics, proteomics, and genomics, and differentially expressed molecules significantly associated with the progression of pneumoconiosis were screened; S12-2: Data integration and bioinformatics analysis; constructing a multi-omics association matrix for pneumoconiosis, using weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify covariate modules, screening core biomarker groups with causal associations based on causal reasoning, and establishing a quantitative mapping model between biomarker concentration and pneumoconiosis development stage.
