2nd Exam: Lung Disease 1 Flashcards
partial or complete collapse of the lung:
atela
fulmninant:
severe and sudden in onset.
Normal bronchus is lined by;
ciliated epi, cartilage for support
These divide alveoli:
septae containing many caps
prototype of immune-mediated d.:
asthma
asthma is one of __ types of immune response:
4
asthma:
long lasting, begins 1st-2nd decade, 1-2h episodes, stress, inhaled irritants, cold air, exertion, bronchial tube mm. tighten, thicken, inflamed walls, mucus filled airways
Pathogenesis of asthma:
type 1 hypersensitivity, exposure to antigen, it binds IgE, this activates inflammatory cells, mediators are released that cause the symptoms and inflammation
mediators released in asthma attack:
PG, leukotrienes, histamine, bradykinin
Types of inhaled irritants:
microbes, allergens, pollutants, oxidants, irritants
inhaled irritants that attract and activate macs, PMNs, and eosinophils:
CCL2, 5, 11, Il-6, 8, TNF-a, GM-CSF
Pwy antigen presentation to naive T-cell:
activate Th17 OR Th2 (routes) 1: eosinophil, cytokines, chemokines, cytotoxic products, lipid mediators 2. B cell w IgE, Mast cells and/or basophils, histamine, leukotrienes, PGD2, cytokines
IL required for Th2 cells to activate eosinophiis;
IL-5
IL’s required for Th2 cells to activate B cells
IL-4, 13
Eosinophils activate:
cytokines, chemokines, cytotoxic products, lipid mediators
mast cells and/ or basophils activate:
Leukotrienes, PGD2, cytokines
TF? Airflow is only restricted TO the lungs in asthma.
F. Both to and from
Asthma pathology:
vasod, mucus plus, desquamation of epi, mucus gland hyperplasia, sm hypertrophy and hyperplasia, thickened BM and sm, edematous submucosa w infiltration of granulocytes, infiltration of bronchi and para bronchial tissues w monocytes and lymhpos, thick mucus, inflammation
Prominent cell in response to asthma:
eosinophil
What do the eosinophils that respond to asthma secrete:
major basic protein, damaging
Diagnostic marker of asthma:
Charcot-Leyden crystals (eosinophil proteins)
What are Charcot-Leyden crystals?
eosinophilic proteins
Emphysema is aka:
COPD, centrilobular emphysema
Emphysema
common, chronic, progressive, mainly smokers, over 60 it gets severe, dyspnea, shortness of breath, cyanosis, disability, lungs hyperinflated, dilated air spaces in form of cysts/ blebs
Causes of tissue damage in emphysema:
ROS, inc mac elastase and metalloproteinases
These lead to ROS formation:
neutrophils, tobacco
Transport ROS to the blood stream:
IL-8, LTB4, TNF (8 Before tnf)
Role of neutrophils in emphysema:
create ROS, inc neutrophil elastase
These can increase neutrophil elastase:
neutrophils, congenital a1AT deficiency
3 roles of ROS in emphysema:
tissue damage, inactivation of antiproteases (essentially activating protease) (“functional: a1AT deficiency”, go to blood stream
Alveolar Type II cell:
septal cell, make surfactant
Alveolar Type I cell:
form wall
Some sm cells of the alveolar septum
knob cells
What happens with COPD?
septae destroyed, airspaces enlarged, O2 exchange reduced, fewer caps, loss of elasticity, can’t contract normally
Differential Dx of post-op dyspnea:
pulmonary emboli, pneumonia, diffuse alveolar damage (DAD)
Lines the wall of pts w acute lung injury (DAD):
hyaline mem
Causes of DAD (ARDS)
shock, trauma, surgery, burns, sepsis, oxygen therapy, smoke from house fire, drugs, aspiration, uremia (kidney failure), viral infection, newborn (surfactant)
