Transporte de secreções mucóides de indivíduos saudáveis e pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica e bronquiectasias

Abstract: Mucus from healthy individuals allows better mucociliary transport compared to that from patients with lung diseases. However, the mucus from COPD patients allows a better transport by coughing, demonstrating that these individuals have adapted to a defence mechanism compared to patients with bronchiectasis, who have impairment in their ciliary and cough transport mechanisms.

“…BC is heterogeneous in its clinical features, causes and outcomes [6]. Respiratory secretions in individuals with BC have poor transport properties, which manifest as reduced mucociliary transport, higher contact angle, dyspnoea and decreased exercise tolerance [6]. BC is an important health problem with high morbidity, mortality and associated costs [7].…”

“…Since MCC is fundamental in lung defense, several methods have been described to evaluate it: some analyze separately the mechanical condition of the cilia (video microscopy, photometric method) 3 13 or of the mucus (contact angle measurements, displacement of mucus by simulated cough and frog palate), 14 15 16 and others evaluate the interaction between the mucus and the cilia (clearance of inhaled radiolabeled particles, saccharin transit time [STT] test). 17 18…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with COPD presented loss and significant alterations in mucociliary clearance. 4 , 5 Afonso et al 4 found that the mucus relative velocity of ciliary transport on frog palate was greater in the healthy individuals than in the COPD and bronchiectasis groups: healthy group =1.0±0.19 seconds, COPD group =0.91±0.17 seconds, and bronchiectasis group =0.76±0.23 seconds. 4 …”

“…Mucociliary clearance is deficient in patients with COPD 4 , 5 mainly due to mucus hypersecretion, which is related to a significant decrease in forced expiratory volume in the first second and severe coughing. This situation increases the risk of hospitalization.…”
