Chronic Pulmonary Emphysema

Seven cases of Marfan's syndrome are reviewed clinically, radiologically, and pathologically. Six of the seven cases showed evidence of pulmonary dysaeration: (a) Two of the cases showed compression of the left main-stem bronchus by a giant left atrium with atelectasis of the left lung and compensatory emphysema of the right lung. (b) Two of the cases showed evidence of diffuse chronic pulmonary emphysema. Three cases had bilateral apical bullae. (c) One of the cases developed pneumothorax. The lungs of the children with the Marfan syndrome show precocious maturation of the elastic stroma of the alveolar septae. The pathogenesis of emphysema is discussed in relationship to the Marfan abiotrophy of connective tissue.

Chronic Pulmonary Emphysema

We measured the frequency characteristics (at 10–40 Hz) of airway (Za) and tissue (Zt) impedances in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [asthmatic bronchitis (AB), chronic pulmonary emphysema (CPE)] and interstitial pneumonitis (IP) by use of an improved random noise oscillation and body box method. The results were then compared with those obtained for normal subjects. The real part of Za was markedly elevated in patients with AB but only slightly elevated in those with CPE. To interpret these data we used an electromechanical analogue including serial inhomogeneity with shunt impedance. From this model we concluded that AB causes both the central and peripheral airway resistances to increase, while CPE brings about a rise mainly in peripheral resistance. In IP patients, only the imaginary part of Zt decreased, which might reflect the decrease in both lung and chest wall compliance. In CPE patients, but not in AB patients, the real part of Zt fell. These data were consistent with the assumption that the decrease in mass per unit volume of lung tissue and hyperinflation of the chest wall in CPE patients might lower the tissue resistances.
