39
Q

What is chronic bronchitis?

A

persistent productive cough for >=3 months in >=2 consecutive years

40
Q

Pathogenesis of chronic bronchitis

A

goblet cell metaplasia –> mucus hypersecretion –> inflammation, fibrosis

41
Q

42
Q

What is emphysema?

A

abnormal permenant enlargment of airspaces distal to terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of their walls without obvious fibrosis

43
Q

Which protein deficiency is related to emphysema? Explain. Also explain how it is related to tobacco

A

α1-antitrypsin
AAT deficiency –> ↑ neutrophil elastase –> attack pulmonary elastic tissues

ROS in tobacco –> deplete antioxidant mechanisms –> inactivate AAT

44
Q

4 Types of emphysema. Compare the common two (5)

A

centriacinar, panacinar, distal acinar, irregular

Centriacinar vs panacinar:
- Aetiology: air-related; AAT deficiency
- Distribution: respiratory bronchioles; acini
- Lung regions: upper lobes; lower lobes
- V/Q: ↓ ; ~
- ABG changes: severe; less
