| pathology-of-lung-upper-airways-and-pleuraBronchial asthma - grossly: bronchial occlusion by thick mucus plug
- microscopically:
- mucus
- Curshmann spirals, eosinophils, Charcot-Leyden crystals
- bronchial wall
- edema + hyperemia
- inflammation – eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, lymphocytes (Th2 subset)
- hypertrophy of submucosal mucous glands
- thickened basement membrane
- hypertrophy / hyperplasia of SMCs
Emphysema - = permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to terminal bronchioles due to destruction of their walls
- smoking
- pathogenesis
- oxidant-antioxidant imbalance
- protease-antiprotease imbalance
- α1-antitrypsin deficiency
- dyspnea + prolonged expiration
- barrel-chested patients
Emphysema - 1. centriacinar emphysema
- only respiratory bronchioles affected
- upper lobes
- smoking
- 2. panacinar emphysema
- respiratory bronchioles + alveoli affected
- lower lobes
- α1-antitrypsin deficiency
- G: pale voluminous areas
- Mi: thining / destruction of alveolar walls large airspaces
Emphysema - complications
- respiratory failure
- pulmonary hypertension right-sided heart failure
- related conditions
- compensatory emphysema
- senile emphysema / hyperinflation
- obstructive emphysema
- mediastinal emphysema
Chronic bronchitis - = persistent productive cough for 3 consecutive months in 2 consecutive years
- smoking, air pollutants
- several forms:
- simple CB
- mucopurulent CB
- asthmatic CB
- obstructive CB
Chronic bronchitis - basis: hypersecretion / hypertrophy of bronchial mucous glands + inflammation
- grossly
- mucosal hyperemia + edema
- mucous / mucopurulent secretion in lumen
- microscopy
- enlargement of mucus-secreting glands (Reid index)
- squamous metaplasia
- mononuclear inflammation
- bronchioles
- goblet cells metaplasia + wall fibrosis
