    Cytokines produced by locally activated T cells and macrophages have central role in lymphocyte alveolitis and granuloma formation, and it is beleived that they regulate activity and further progression of sarcoidosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells in 6 patients With sarcoidosis. The obtained results showed increased IL-6 levels in patients with active disease, IL-1 activity did not follow clinical changes, while TNF was detectible only in one patients.

    T Cell Types and Functions

    When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-II: Pathophysiology

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) pathophysiology is intricate and multifaceted, involving a complex interplay of physiological processes. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for effectively managing and treating COPD. Here is an in-depth look at the critical elements in the pathophysiology of COPD:

    Tuberculosis01:23

    Tuberculosis

    Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, primarily targeting the lungs and spreading through airborne transmission. Infection begins when aerosolized droplet nuclei, expelled by an individual with active TB, are inhaled by another person. These microscopic particles carry Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB. Upon reaching the alveoli, the bacilli are engulfed by alveolar macrophages. However, due to their specialized lipid-rich cell wall, these pathogens...

    Alveoli and Alveolar Ducts

    The respiratory zone of the human body, which stands in contrast to the conducting zone, comprises the structures that actively participate in the exchange of gases. The initiation of this zone is marked by the terminal bronchioles converging into respiratory bronchioles, the tiniest bronchiole classification. The respiratory bronchioles give way to the alveolar ducts that opens into a congregation of alveoli. Actively involved in gas exchange, alveoli resemble tiny sacs similar to clusters of...
