Study Notes
Bronchiectasis
- Expansion of the bronchi in a cylindrical or bag-like form, which can be congenital or acquired
- Congenital bronchiectasis is relatively rare (2-3% of COPD cases) and develops due to impaired formation of the bronchial tree
- Histological sign of congenital bronchiectasis is a disorderly arrangement of the structural elements of the bronchi in their wall
- Acquired bronchiectasis is a consequence of chronic bronchitis
- Forms of bronchiectasis:
- Saccular bronchiectasis: expansion of the bronchial lumen in the direction of least resistance
- Cylindrical bronchiectasis: diffuse expansion of the bronchial lumen
- Bronchiolectasis: inflammation of bronchioles
Emphysema
- Enlargement of airspaces in the lung, which can be classified into different types:
- Chronic focal emphysema: develops around old tuberculous foci, post-infarction scars
- Vicarious emphysema: develops in one lung after removal of part of it or another lung
- Primary (idiopathic) panacinar emphysema: rare, etiology unknown
- Senile emphysema: age-related, considered obstructive
- Interstitial emphysema: air enters interstitial tissue of the lung through ruptures of the alveoli
Fibrosing Alveolitis
- A heterogeneous group of lung diseases characterized by primary inflammatory process in the interalveolar pulmonary interstitium
- Types of fibrosing alveolitis:
- Idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis (Hamman-Rich disease)
- Exogenous allergic alveolitis (e.g. farmer's lung, pigeon breeder's lung)
- Toxic fibrosing alveolitis (associated with exposure to herbicides, mineral fertilizers, etc.)
- Pathogenesis: immunopathological processes, including immunocomplex damage to capillaries and cellular immune cytolysis
- Pathological anatomy: three stages of morphological changes in the lungs, including alveolitis, disorganization of alveolar structures and pneumofibrosis, and formation of a honeycomb lung
Respiratory Diseases
- Various clinical and morphological manifestations, including bronchitis, tracheitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia
- Etiological factors: biological pathogens (viruses, bacteria), chemical and physical agents, hereditary factors, and age characteristics
- Protective barriers of the respiratory system:
- Aerodynamic filtration
- Humoral factors (secretory immunoglobulins, complement system, etc.)
- Cellular factors (alveolar macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, etc.)
- Methods for diagnosing respiratory diseases:
- Cytological and bacterioscopic examination of sputum
- Bronchoalveolar lavage
- Biopsy of the bronchi and lungs### Pleuropneumonia
- Caused by Friedlander's stick (Friedlander's pneumonia)
- Affects part of the lobe of the lung, often the upper one
- Exudate consists of decaying neutrophils with an admixture of fibrin threads, mucus, and looks like a viscous mucous mass
- Foci of necrosis appear in areas of inflammation, and abscesses form in their place
Bronchopneumonia
- Inflammation of the lungs, which develops in connection with bronchitis or bronchiolitis (bronchoalveolitis)
- Focal character, can be a morphological manifestation of both primary and secondary acute pneumonia
- Etiology: various microbial agents, chemical and physical factors
- Pathogenesis: associated with acute bronchitis or bronchiolitis, inflammation often spreads to the lung tissue intrabronchially or peribronchially
Pathological Anatomy of Bronchopneumonia
- Morphological changes: acute bronchitis or bronchiolitis, represented by various forms of catarrhal inflammation (serous, mucous, purulent, mixed)
- Mucous membrane becomes full-blooded and swollen, production of mucus by the glands and goblet cells increases sharply
- Integumentary prismatic epithelium of the mucous membrane is exfoliated, which leads to damage to the mucociliary mechanism of purification of the bronchial tree
- Walls of the bronchi and bronchioles thicken due to edema and cellular infiltration
Foci of Inflammation in Bronchopneumonia
- Usually occur in the posterior and posterior-lower segments of the lungs (II, VI, VIII, IX, X)
- Dense, gray-red on the cut
- Increase in capillary permeability, beginning of diapedesis of erythrocytes into the lumen of the alveoli
- Lung is somewhat compacted, sharply plethoric
Stages of Bronchopneumonia
- Stage of red hepatization (2nd day of illness)
- Stage of gray hepatization (4-6th day of illness)
- Resolution stage (9-11th day of illness)
Complications of Lobar Pneumonia
- Pulmonary complications: impaired fibrinolytic function of neutrophils, development of abscess and gangrene of the lung
- Extrapulmonary complications: generalization of infection, lymphogenous and hematogenous spread
Acute Bronchitis and Bronchopneumonia
- Depend on the depth of damage to the bronchial wall
- Serous and mucous bronchial catarrhs are easily reversible
- Bronchial wall destruction (purulent catarrh, destructive bronchitis and bronchiolitis) contributes to the development of pneumonia
Acute Pneumonia
- Etiology: diverse, but more often infectious agents
- Risk factors: infection, obstruction of the bronchial tree, immunodeficiencies, alcohol, smoking, and inhalation of toxic substances
- Primary acute pneumonia: independent disease or manifestation of another disease with nosological specifics
- Secondary acute pneumonia: complication of many diseases
Lobar Pneumonia
- Acute infectious-allergic disease, affecting one or more lobes of the lung
- Fibrinous exudate appears in the alveoli, and fibrinous overlays appear on the pleura
- Causative agents: pneumococci types I, II, III, and IV, Friedlander's diplobacillus
- Pathogenesis: autoinfection, sensitization of the body with pneumococci, and resolving factors
Bronchopneumonia in Different Age Periods
-
In newborns: hyaline membranes, consisting of compacted fibrin, often form on the surface of the alveoli
-
In weakened children: foci of inflammation are localized mainly in the posterior parts of the lungs
-
In people older than 50 years: age-related reduction of the lymphatic system, resorption of foci of inflammation occurs slowly### Viral Bronchopneumonias
-
Rarely exist in their pure form, as they disrupt the epithelial barrier, leading to secondary bacterial infection
-
Complications depend on etiology, age, and general condition of the patient
-
Pneumonia foci may be carnified or suppurated with abscess formation, leading to pleurisy or purulent pleurisy
-
Especially life-threatening in early childhood and old age
Interstitial Pneumonia
- Characterized by inflammatory process in interstitial tissue (stroma) of the lung
- Can be a characteristic morphological manifestation of diseases (e.g., respiratory viral infections) or a complication of inflammatory processes in the lungs
- Three forms of interstitial pneumonia:
- Peribronchial: inflammatory process starts in the wall of bronchus, passes to peribronchial tissue, and extends to adjacent interalveolar septa
- Interlobular: inflammation spreads to interlobular septa, leading to thickening of the septa, and sometimes, a "stratification" of the lung into lobules
- Interstitial: characterized by inflammatory process in the interalveolar septa
Acute Destructive Processes in the Lungs
- Include abscess and gangrene of the lung
- Streptococcal bronchopneumonia: characterized by formation of foci closely associated with bronchioles, with neutrophils and fibrin in the exudate
- Pneumococcal bronchopneumonia: characterized by formation of foci closely associated with bronchioles, with neutrophils and fibrin in the exudate
- Fungal bronchopneumonia (pneumomycosis): caused by various fungi, with foci of different sizes, dense, grayish-pink in section
Chronic Bronchopulmonary Diseases
- Emphysema: characterized by chronic diffuse obstructive pulmonary emphysema
- Bronchiectasis: characterized by chronic inflammatory changes in the walls of bronchi, with purulent content in the cavity
- Emphysema: caused by excess air in the lungs, leading to an increase in their size
- Three types of emphysema:
- Chronic diffuse obstructive
- Chronic focal (perifocal, cicatricial)
- Vicarious (compensatory)
Bronchial Asthma
- Characterized by attacks of expiratory shortness of breath caused by an allergic reaction in the bronchial tree
- Etiology:
- Infectious diseases, especially of the upper respiratory tract
- Allergic rhinosinusitis
- Environmental influences
- Exposure to substances suspended in the air
- Psychogenic factors
- Classification:
- Atopic bronchial asthma
- Infectious-allergic bronchial asthma
Pneumofibrosis
- Characterized by growth of connective tissue in the lung
- Develops in areas of carnification of unresolved pneumonia, along the outflow of lymph from foci of inflammation
- Leads to hypertrophy of the right ventricle of the heart (cor pulmonale) and cardiac decompensation
Chronic Abscess
- Develops from an acute abscess and is localized in the II, VI, IX, and X segments of the right or left lung
- Structure of the wall of a chronic lung abscess does not differ from a chronic abscess of another localization
Chronic Pneumonia
- Characterized by a combination of areas of carnification and fibrosis, with cavities and bronchiectasis
- One of the features of chronic pneumonia is an unusual tendency to exacerbations, lymphatic vessels, and the presence of bronchiectasis and foci of suppuration
