Chemical modulation of alveolar epithelial permeability.
The volume and composition of fluid on the surface of the alveoli can affect alveolar ventilation, gas diffusion, and macrophage function. The passive permeability and active processes of the alveolar epithelial lining play a role in regulating surface fluid and are a potential site of damage by airborne chemicals. Like other epithelial barriers, the alveolar lining is permeable to lipophilic s...
متن کاملChemical modulation of airway epithelial permeability.
The mucosal surface of the conducting airways has specialized structures for respiratory defense. Glands secret mucus that may act as a barrier to particle penetration and participate in particle clearance. Intraepithelial irritant receptors aid in particle clearance through airway constriction and cough. The epithelium acts as a barrier to the penetration of inhaled material into the airway wa...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide effect on alveolar epithelial permeability.
A carbon monoxide (CO)-intoxicated patient developed increased permeability-type pulmonary edema demonstrated by a normal capillary wedge pressure and production of protein-rich edema fluid. To investigate the effect of CO on alveolar-epithelial permeability, a radio-active labelled isotope, 51Cr-EDTA (MW 377), was instilled into the airways of rabbits. Subsequent egress of the marker from the ...

متن کاملEffects of acid aspiration on pulmonary alveolar epithelial membrane permeability.
Employing a modification of the in vivo model of a liquid-filled canine lung, we measured the movement of substances of specific sizes (albumin, 69,000 daltons with a molecular radius of 35 A; and dextran with a molecular weight of 150,000 to 170,000 and an approximate molecular radius of 100 A) from the pulmonary capillary blood to the liquid-filled lung. A solution with a specific pH (1.5 to ...
