Lung defence mechanisms against infection.
The respiratory tract must be open to the environment to allow exchange of gas between air and blood. This renders lhe lungs susceptible to colonization and infection by foreign organisms. It is necessary for lhe lower respiratory tract to have mechanisms to contain and control such foreign material. The gas exchange surface of lhe lung must be thin, delicate and permeable, rhus the mechanisms ...
متن کاملHaptoglobin reduces lung injury associated with exposure to blood.
The biological functions of the acute- phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) may be related to its ability to bind hemoglobin (Hb) or to modulate immune response. Hp is expressed at a high level in lung cells, yet its protective role(s) in the lung is not known. With the use of transgenic mice overexpressing Hp in alveolar macrophages, we demonstrated that Hp diminished Hb-induced lung injury when the...

متن کاملSerum haptoglobin in liver disease.
Serum haptoglobin levels have been measured in 115 cases of widely differing liver disease. Although low levels were found in some cases of cirrhosis and a number of patients with obstructive jaundice had increased levels, 70% of the values fell within the normal range. The estimation was of no help in distinguishing between intra- and extrahepatic obstructive jaundice. A characteristic pattern...
