Q

How does leukocyte infiltration occur?

A

starts in postcapillary venules, leukocytes are paves and move into extracellular space.

Q

CNS in first vs. second generation antihistamines?

A

Only a small amount of the second generation drugs cross BBB because they have affinity for the P-glycoprotein efflux pump.

Hepatic function
Increased bleeding time
75
Q

76
Q

Aspirin Hypersensitivity

A

atopic individuals
No AB to aspirin - hypersensitivity like rxn
Sx: rhinitis, urticaria, asthma, laryngeal edema

77
Q

Mechanism of aspirin hypersensitivity (1)

A

Blockade of COX shifts arachidonate utilization to the lipoxygenase pathway - increased leukotriene production
Upregulation of Cys LTR1

78
Q

Mechanism of aspirin hypersensitivity (2)

A

Inhibition of COX1 results in declining PGE2. Removing PGE2 eliminates the blocking of 5-lipoxygenase and allows for rapid synthesis of leukotrienes.
