- W1951453186 abstract "Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are complex conditions with imprecise definitions, which make definitive morphological comparisons difficult. The airways in asthma are occluded by tenacious plugs of exudate and mucus, and there is fragility of airway surface epithelium, thickening of the reticular layer beneath the epithelial basal lamina (the last two not usually features of COPD), and bronchial vessel congestion and oedema. There is an increased inflammatory infiltrate comprising ‘activated’ lymphocytes and eosinophils with release of granular content in the latter, and enlargement of bronchial smooth muscle, particularly in medium‐sized bronchi. CD4 + ve lymphocytes predominate over CD8 + ve cells and neutrophils are sparse. In contrast, three conditions contribute to COPD. In chronic bronchitis there is cough and mucous hypersecretion with enlargement of tracheobronchial submucosal glands and a disproportionate increase of mucous acini. CD8 + ve lymphocytes predominate over CD4 + ve cells and there are increased numbers of subepithelial macrophages and intra‐epithelial neutrophils. Exacerbations of bronchitis are associated with a tissue eosinophilia, apparent absence of IL‐5 protein but gene expression for IL‐4 and IL‐5 is present. In small or peripheral airways disease, there is inflammation of bronchioli and mucous metaplasia and hyperplasia, with increased intraluminal mucus, increased wall muscle, fibrosis, and airway stenoses (also referred to as chronic obstructive bronchiolitis). Respiratory bronchiolitis involving increased numbers of pigmented macrophages is a critically important early lesion. Increasingly severe peribronchiolitis includes infiltration of T lymphocytes in which the CD8 + subset again predominates. These inflammatory changes may predispose to the development of centrilobular emphysema and reduced FEV 1 via the destruction of alveolar attachments. In emphysema there is abnormal, permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiolus (i.e. within the acinus) accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls and without obvious fibrosis. The severity of emphysema, rather than type, appears to be the most important determinant of chronic deterioration of airflow, and in this there may be significant loss of elastic recoil and microscopic emphysema prior to the observed macroscopic destruction of the acinus." @default.
