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
BMPR2 inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and favors apoptosis
Good pastures
Autoantibodies to collagen four, glomular nephritis and hemorrhagic pneumonitis, red brown consolidation,
Wegener granulomatis
Autoimmune disease of upper resp tract with hemoptysis, capillaritis and scattered poorly formed granulomas
