Asthma

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Chronic inflammation condition, airflow limitation, tissue remodelling  
🗑
show allergic disease/ tobacco smoke and irritants  
🗑
show Reversible airflow obstruction/ incompletely reversible airflow limitation, resulting in progressive decline of lung function  
🗑
Classical pathlogies   show
🗑
show neutrophilic (IL-17A)  
🗑
show eosinophilic  
🗑
Inflammatory response in asthma   show
🗑
show Th1-dominated responses: IFNgmma, IL-8 (neutrophil chemoat.) leukotriene B4, IL-1 and TNFa (which induce asthma via IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13)  
🗑
show Inflammatory characteristics of asthma and COPD are interchangeable during exacerbation and infection, due to the association with the similar cytokine profiles and levels  
🗑
Asthma pathology   show
🗑
Asthma - initiation   show
🗑
Asthma - T cell co-stimulation   show
🗑
show CD25+ FOXP3+ T cell is suggested to control Th2 through IL-10 and TGFbeta  
🗑
Central mediator of allergic response (atopic form asthma) - IgE   show
🗑
Upon subsequent antigen exposure   show
🗑
Then move on the the later allergic response (6-72 hrs later)   show
🗑
show prominent in allergic airway disease, linked asthma severity  
🗑
show 1)release of pre-stored granular proteins e.g. e- cationic proteins and e-peroxidase, which are cytotoxic 2)synthesis and release of oxygen radicals and lipid mediators as well as numerous cytokines 3)role in airway remodelling: fibrogenic cytokines  
🗑
show produced by Th2, mast cell and eosinophil, regulate most aspects of eosinophil behaviour  
🗑
show 1)collagen 2)fibronectin deposition 3)thinkness of subepithelial basement membrane 4)goblet cell hyperplasia 5)increased ASM mass and size 6)angiogenesis 7)fibrosis  
🗑
show imbalance of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, also increase in ASM content, along with change in the phenotype of fibroblasts cause permanent reduction of airway caliber, which is steroid insensitive  
🗑
Airway remodelling - associated cytokines   show
🗑
show 1)on eosinophil survival by prevent the release of chemoattractants 2)downregulation of IL-4, which induces isotype switching of B cell, 3)inhibit IFNgamma and IL-2,4)interfere with function of mono and Macro, 5) MHC expression on APCs  
🗑
show class CC, target T cells, monocytes and eosinophils. Eotaxin and RANTES, acting in synergy with IL-5, chemoattractant in allergic inflammation, induce A4 and B1 integrin expression on eosinphil- firm adhesion to epitheilium and tranmigration  
🗑
Therapies - 1   show
🗑
show interacts with co-activators with HAT activity, which activate pro-in transcription factors wuch as NFkB and AP1  
🗑
show IL-10 and IkB-alpha  
🗑
Ineffective in virus-induced exacerbation and COPD   show
🗑
Therapies - 2   show
🗑
actions   show
🗑
show Immunotherapy, increase the production of IgA and IgG, Treg cell (TGFbeta adn IL-10), reduction in the recruitment of Macro B and E-phil  
🗑
Therapies - 4   show
🗑
Therapies - 5   show
🗑
Therapies - 6   show
🗑
show Inhaled cigarette smoke and other irritants activates epithelial cells and Macrophage to release chemotactic factors  
🗑
show CCL2 on CCR2 monocytes, CXCL1 and CXCL8 on CCR2 neutrophils and monocytes, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11 on CCR3 Th1 and Tc1 cells  
🗑
COPD - pathology   show
🗑
show release TGFbeta, which stimulates fibroblast proliferation, resulting in fibrosis in small airways  
🗑
show B2 agonist theophylline (PDE inhibitor, increasing cAMP) Muscarinic receptor antagonist  
🗑
other approaches for both   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
