Impaired pulmonary vascular development in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the chronic lung disease associated with preterm birth, results from the disruption of normal pulmonary vascular and alveolar growth. Though BPD was once described as primarily due to postnatal injury from mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy after preterm birth, it is increasingly appreciated that BPD results from antenatal and perinatal factors that inte...
متن کاملAberrant Pulmonary Vascular Growth and Remodeling in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
In contrast to many other organs, a significant portion of lung development occurs after birth during alveolarization, thus rendering the lung highly susceptible to injuries that may disrupt this developmental process. Premature birth heightens this susceptibility, with many premature infants developing the chronic lung disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a disease characterized by arres...
متن کاملPulmonary Biomarkers of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, is a chronic pulmonary disorder of premature infants, commonly defined as having an oxygen requirement at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. It is an important source of morbidity and mortality in premature neonates. Its' etiology appears to be multifactorial with the most common associations being prematurity, need for mechanical ventilation, and oxygen exposure. I...
متن کاملLung vascular development: implications for the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Past studies have primarily focused on how altered lung vascular growth and development contribute to pulmonary hypertension. Recently, basic studies of vascular growth have led to novel insights into mechanisms underlying development of the normal pulmonary circulation and the essential relationship of vascular growth to lung alveolar development. These observations have led to new concepts un...
متن کاملPulmonary Hemosiderosis in Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
We describe a possible association between pulmonary hemosiderosis (PH) and a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Both patients were born at 28-week gestation and presented with PH at ages 22 months and 6 years, respectively. Both initially presented with cough and tachypnea, and bronchoalveolar lavage showed evidence of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. Initial hemoglobin levels were < 4...
