Which bronchus is more vertical
|
Right
|
|
Respiratory tree covered by
|
Psueodstritfied, tall, columnar, cilliated epithelial cells...vocal cords-stratified squamous epithelium
|
|
Mediastinum in resorption and compression atelectasis
|
Resorption-towards affected lung
Compression-away from affected lung |
|
Alveolar damage causes
|
Waxy hyaline membranes
|
|
Markers of endothelial damage
|
Endothelin and Von willebrand factor
|
|
Cause of ARDS
|
Lung injury caused by an imbalance of pro inflammatory and anti inflammatory mediators, NF-kB shifts balance to proud flam and increase syn of IL8, neutrophils get trapped (IL1 and TNF)
|
|
Type two cells gives rise to
|
Type one and surfactant
|
|
COPD=
|
Emphysema plus chronic bronchitis
|
|
Emphysema is at what level?
|
Acinar
|
|
Centre lobar emphysema
|
Respiratory bronchioles are affected, distal alveoli spared, most common
|
|
Panacinar emphysema
|
Acini are uniformly enlarged, more common in lower lung zones and anterior margins of the lungs, associated with alpha1-anti trypsin
|
|
Distal acinar or para septal emphysema
|
Near fibrosis, scarring or atelectasis, can cause spontaneous pneumothorax
|
|
Irregular emphysema
|
Associated with scarring
|
|
Emphysema proteases
|
High protease activity with low anti protease activity
|
|
Common source of proteases
|
Neutrophils, attracted by TNF and IL8 coded from NF-kB
|
|
Loss of elastic tissue in emphysema
|
Causes respiratory bronchioles to collapse during expiration
|
|
Chronic bronchitis
|
Marked increase in goblet cells of small airways, swelling and deems, mucus gland hyperplasia, may turn to squamous metaplasia, cough with productive sputum, blue bloater, leads to COPD and cor pulmonale
|
|
Reid index
|
Measure of thickness of mucus layer to epithelial layer, normally .4
|
|
Atopic asthma
|
igE mediated hypersensitivity reaction to environmental allergen, strong TH2 rxn, IgE coats mast cells
|
|
IL5
|
Eosinophil recruitment
|
|
Genes associated with asthma
|
IL13, CD14(TT reduced levels of IgE), ADAM33, chitinases, beta receptor gene, and IL4 gene
|
|
Histology of asthma
|
Curshmann spirals and charcot leyden crystals
|
|
Bronchi ecstasies
|
Permanent dilation of bronchi and bronchioles cause by destruction of the muscle and elastic tissue due to chronic necrotizing infections, foul smelling bloody sputum, cough win the morning due to mucus and pus, dypsnea and cyanosis
|
|
Karts genres
|
Absence or shortening of the dynein arms for cillia and sperm
|
|
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
|
Polypoid plugs of loose organizing connective tissue (Masson bodies) in alveolar ducts, no honeycombing
|
|
Coal workers pneumoconiosis
|
Carbon dust is main culprit,, carbon laden macrophages, centrilobar emphysema, benign, does not increase susceptibility to tb
|
|
Silicosis
|
Silica, abundant lipoproteinaceous material in alveoli, activation and release of mediators especially TNF, hard collagenous scars, thin sheets of calcification over lymph nodes call eggshell, nodes have hyalinized collagen surrounded by condensed collagen, increase chance if tb
Crystal form-more fibrogenic than amorphous, quartz, |
|
Asbestos
|
Crystalline hydrated silicates that form fibers, serpentine chrysotiles-most asbestos, amphiboles-most pathogenic due to solubility and aerodynamics, pulmonary fibrosis, asbestos bodies-fusiform iron proteinaceous containing material, ferruginous bodies-inorganic iron protein complexes, honeycomb, pleural plaques containing calcium, lung carcinomas and mesotheliomas (pleura), produce sputum
|
|
Cytotoxic drugs, amiodarone, and radiation can cause
|
Pneumonitis
|
|
Pulmonary eosinophilia
|
Infiltration if eosinophils from IL5, focal cellular consolidation, high fever,night sweats, corticosteroid therapy
|
|
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
|
Cigarette smokers, smokers macrophages, fibrosis mild, emphysema often present, moderate reduction if diffusing capacity of CO2
|
|
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
|
Accumulation of acellular surfactant in intraalveolar and bronchiolar spaces, GMCSF, inadequate clearing of surfactant, asymmetric opacities in X-ray, congenital is fatal
|
|
Saddle emboli
|
Emboli at bifurcation
|
|
Pulmonary emboli vs post Mortem clot
|
Embolus has lines of zahn
|
|
Familial Pulmonary hypertension mutation
