Sweatman Restrictive Lung Dz and PAH Flashcards
name the surfactant agents
- Poractant
- calfactant
- beractant
name the PDE-5inhibitors
- sildenafil (revatio)
2. tadalafil (adcirca)
Name the immunosupressants for PAH and RLD
rituximab, azathioprine, cyclphosphamide and corticosteroids, methotrexate
Name the long chain fatty acid-derived eicosanoids
iloprost, triprostinil, epoprostenol
name the ET-1 antagonists
bosentan and ambrisentan
Name the CCB’s
Diltiazem (NONDHP), Nefdipine (DHP), Amlodipine (DHP)
prostacyclin analog
treprostinil, iloprost, epoprostenol
name the three diagnostic categories of restrictive lung disease
- pneumoconisis
- ARDs, NRDS
- Idiopathic
name the 4 types of pneumoconiosis
- silicosis
- beryllosis
- CWP
- asbestosis
* review what the inhalant is that cuases the disease in each
silicosis predisposes to
TB
CWP predisposes to
Pulmonary HTN/ right sided heart failure
mesothelioma predisposes to
primary carcinoma of the lung and melignant mesothelioma
beryllosis predisposes to
multi-organ granuloma formation mimicking sarcoidosis
Drugs that can cause ARDS
aspirin, opiates, cocaine, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidresessants
*also idiosyncratic reactions with contrast dye and chemotherapeutic agents
alcohol and ARDS
does not directly cause ARD but increases the chanes of ARDS from other causes (sepsis and trauma)
most common cause of ARDS
Sepsis, Pneumonia, Aspiration, Trauma–> in that order
current tx of ARDS (terrible data nothing proven to work)
> Beta2 agonists (albuterol), NO–> vasodil. increase perfusion of functioning alveoli
corticosteroids–> antinflamm
prostacycline (PGI2)
Dietary oil supplementation –> antiinflamm..modulate arachadonic acid metabolism
tx of NRDS in at risk mothers < 34 weeks
antenatal corticosteroids–> increases surfactant production and release in the fetus pre-birth, increasing lung function
Aditional tx of NRDS after birth
exogenous surfactant to preterm neonates to reduce pulmonary surface tension and improve lung function
name the exoenous sufactants
poractant alfa
calfactant
beractant
*purified animal derivatives rich in surfactant B and C and neutral lipids as well as surface active PL’s (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine DPPC)
surface active agent that lowers surface tension
dipalmitoyldiphoshatidylcholine DPPC or Lecithin
multi organ inflammatory dz characterized by non-aseating granulomas in an unspecified foreign body reaciton and peri-hilar bilateral infiltrates
sarcoidsosis
tx of sarcoidsosis
glucocorticoids to control inflamm.
methotrexate (OFF-LABEL USE)
SIDE EFFECTS OF CHRONIC CORTICOSTEROIDS USE
inhibition of hypothalamic-pituitary axis, oseoporosis, pancreatitis, steroid-induced DM, cataracts, glaucoma, pyschosis, oral candidiasis, immunosupression, weight gain, skin atrophy
Immune effect of chronic steroids
IMMUNE SUPPRESSION-> promote apoptosis of dedritic cells, t cells and macrophages (diminished CMI)
methotrexat MOE
DHFRinhibitor-> increase in adenosine mediated immunosupression
MTX and adenosine
MTX increases adenosine and causes immunosupresion via adenosine receptors
mechanism of MTX and adenosine immunosupression
inhibits AICAR–>FAICAR…AICAR accumulates and inhibits AMP deaminase and Adenosine deaminase–> icnreases adenosine 5’-P and adenosine–> this results in an increase in these products in the extracellular millieu, extracellular adenosine acting via the A2 pathway activated Adnylate cylase, resulting in increased cAMP production in the cell and thus IMMUNOSUPRESSION
POTENTIALLY FATALA DVERSE EFFECTS OF METHOTREXATE
ACUTE OR CHRONIC INTERSTITIAL PNEUMONITIS AND PULMONARY FIBROSIS
MTX CONTRAINDIATED IN
PT.’S WITH EXISITING IMMUNOSUPRESSION, LUNG DISEASE
CAN CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS AND MALIGNANT LYMPHOMA
IS IPF A chronic inflammatory disease
NO–> EVEN THE MOST POTENT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS WILL HAVE LITTLE TO NO EFFECT
*15% of interstitial lung disease to which no other cause can be attributed
HISTOPATH OF IPF
TEMPORAL HETEROGENEITY
SATISFACTORY TX FOR IPF
NONE AT THE MOMENT COMPARED TO PLACEBO (IN FACT SOME DID WORSE)
*PATIENTS WITH IPF DO NOT GET THE BENEFIT FROM OTHER DRUGS FOR OTHER FORMS PAH
