PUlm defense mechanisms Flashcards
Effects of chronic alcohol consumpotm
1) incr gram negative organisms
2) blunted cough and gag reflex = aspiration
3) decr mucocilliary clearance
4) impaired alveolar macrophage function
how does alcohol affect oropharynx
1) bacterial colonization (gram neg)
2) poor dentition
how does alcohol affect glottis and airway
1) incr aspiration
2) decr mucocilliary function
how does alcohol affect innate immunity
vs. adaptive immunity
1) decr macrophage and neutrophil function
__
1) decr T cells and cytokines
2) decr B cells and airspace IgG
when should asthmatics exercise
NOT IN afternoon because peak ozone concentration
what should you tell patients about ozone during ozone alert
1) transient
2) stay inside b/c irritant
3) exercise early in morning
Air contains what kinds of things?
1) pollutants
2) oxidants
3) dust pollens
4) toxins
5) bacteria and LPS
6) viruses
what is airway clearance mechanism
1) air turbulence created by nasal passages trachea and large airway
2) large particle deposit on mucous surface of airway
3) mucus project to surface by beating cilia on epith cell
4) cleared by coughin, sneezing, swallowing
how do we clear large particles deposit on mucous surface of airways
1) mucous project to surface via beating of cilia
2) cleared by cough, sneeze, swallow
what are ciliary function
1) coordinate movement of particles from airways
what are examples of things that make it hard to clear form lungs
1) air pollution/ozone
2) viral infection (sloughing of epithelial cell)
3) cigarette smoke (poison cilia
Genetic disorders assoc with abnormal ciliar function
1) primary ciliary dyskinesia (immotile ciliary syndrome) AKA…
- inheritance
- due to ?
- symptoms
1) AR
2) defect in dynein arms
3) sinusitis, bronchiectaissi, situs inversus, infertility (KARTAGENER’S when assoc with situs inversus)
components of airway epithelial fluid (4)
1) antimicrobial peptides and proteins (defensins, cathelicidin, lysoszyme)
2) antioxidants
3) antiproteases
4) IgA
Sarcoidosis
effects on
1) endocrine/renal
2) MSK
3) skin
4) spleen
1) diabetes insipidous rarely due to pituitary/hypothalamic involvement
2) musculoskeletal (sausage digits, bony erosions)
3) erythema nodosum/lupus pernio around eye fold
4) granulomatous inflamm
what is function of innate
= early host defense against (3)
relies on ….
1) early host defense against virus, fungi, bacteria
2) PAMPs are recog by secreted, cell surface or intracellular PRR (
3) recruitment of phagocytes,
4) kill microbes + inflamm
components of adaptive immunity
what does memory allow for?
1) B and T cells for antigen specificity
2) memory allows for more rapid and greater secondary response
how do we clear small particles from lower airways
1) ingested by resident alveolar macrophages and/or dendritic
2) bind to lung collectins and surfactant protein A and D (secreted PRR)
3) PRR bind PAMP
4) opsonization and phagocytosis by macs and dendritic cell
macrophages are a critical part of innate immunity located where?
in alveolar part of lung
what is role of macrophage in host defense
1) suppress adaptive immune response
2) clear particles, bugs, debris, apoptotic cells
3) initiate inflamm response
4) transport particles and bugs to lymph nodes
5) clear alevoelar surfactant
what is major component of normal bronchoalveolar lavage
how does that change with smoking
what is normal CD4:Cd8
1) macrophages
2) incr macrophages b/c eat tar granules can look black
3) 2:1
