e two lungs are not quite mirror images of each other. e right
lung, which is the slightly larger of the two, is divided into three
lobes, and the le lung is divided into two lobes.
e lungs extend from the collar-bone to the diaphragm in the
thoracic cavity. e diaphragm is a muscular partition which
separates the thoracic from the abdominal cavity and aids in the
process of breathing. e diaphragm contracts and descends with
each inspiration, enlarges the area in the thoracic cavity and when
the lungs are full, the diaphragm relaxes and elevates, making
the area in the thoracic cavity smaller, and thus increasing the
air pressure in the thorax. Air then is expelled out of the lungs to
equalize the pressure; this is called expiration.

DRUGS AFFECTING THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Drugs can be delivered to the lungs by inhalation, oral, or parenteral
routes. Inhalation is preferred because the drug is delivered directly
to the target tissue-the airways and is eective in doses that do not
cause signicant systemic side eects. Clinically useful drugs act by
various mechanisms, for example, by relaxing bronchial smooth
muscle, or modulating the inammatory response.
Drugs used to treat asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease that
aects approximately 10 million of the USA population. e disease
is characterized by episodes of acute bronchoconstriction causing
shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, wheezing and rapid
respirations. ese acute symptoms may resolve spontaneously or
more oen, require therapy such as β
-agonist. A second delayed or
2
late-phase response may occur 4 to 12 hours later, and may require
treatment with steroids. Asthma, unlike chronic bronchitis, cystic
brosisor bronchiectasis, is usually not progressive disease-it does
not inevitably leadto crippling chronic obstructive lung disease.
Deaths due to asthma are infrequent, but morbidity results in
signicant hospitalization. e goal of therapyis to relieve symptoms
and to prevent recurrence of asthmatic attacks, if possible.
Adrenergic agonists.
1. Short acting drugs: Most clinically useful β-agonists have
a rapid(15 to 30 minutes) onset of action and provide relief for
5 to 6 hours. Toxic side eects, such as tachycardia, hyperglycemia
are minimized when the drugs are delivered by inhalation rather
than by systemic routes.
2. Long acting drugs: salmeterol xonatoate is chemical analog
of albuterol, but diers by having a long lipophilic side chain that
increases the anity of the drug for the β-adrenoceptor. Salmeterol
has a long duration of action, providing bronchodilation for at least
12 hours. Salmeterol has a slow onset of action and should not be
used in acute asthmatic attacks.
113

Corticosteroids.
Inhaled glucocorticoids are the drugs of the rst choice in
patients with moderate to severe asthma who require inhalation
of β
-adrenergic agonists more than once daily. Severe asthma
2
may also require systemic glucocorticoids, usually for short term.
Inhaled glucocorticoids oen reduce (or eliminate) the need for
oral glucocorticoids in patients with severe asthma. To be eective
in controlling inammation, glucocorticoids must be taken
continuously.

ECZEMA VULGARE
Eczema vulgare is a synonym for contact eczema, which is due to
direct contact with a noxious substance and develops in the area of
skin that has been exposed to the substance in question.
e morphological changes typical of eczema vulgare comprise
reddening, swelling, vesiculation, weeping, the formation of crusts
and scales, and – in chronic forms of the disease – inltration,
117

lichenication, skin ssures, and hyperkeratosic callosities,
particularly on the hands and feet.
ough usually presenting a fairly uniform clinical picture, eczema
vulgare is not a single nosological entity, but can be subdivided on
the basis of aetiopathogenetic criteria into three main categories:
- Eczema due to sensitivity
- Toxic-degenerative contact eczema
- Allergic contact eczema.
Eczema due to sensitivity occurs in subjects displaying an
exceptionally high degree of cutaneous sensitivity, in whom even
minor forms of skin irritation suce to provoke an eczematous
reaction. e primary cause is a constitutional weakness, aecting
the lipid lm and acid mantle of the skin, which prevents the skin
from performing its protective function adequately.
Toxic-degenerative contact eczema develops in cases where
the skin has been subjected to prolonged contact with noxious
substances, such as alkalis, acids, solvents, etc., or where repeated
soaking or mechanical strains imposed on the skin have overtaxed
its powers of resistance. Here, once again, the individual sensitivity
of the skin plays an important role. Even the most resistant of skins
will become diseased if exposed to a high enough concentration
of the oending contact under these circumstances, however,
the disease is then referred to not as contact eczema, but as toxic
dermatitis.
Allergic contact eczema occurs as the result of sensitization
of the skin to exogenous allergens, such as chromium, nickel,
formaldehyde, dye-stus, turpentine, etc.; it is attributable to an
antigen-antibody reaction of delayed onset, i.e. of the type also
provoked by tuberculin. Responsible for the production of the
antibodies participating in this antigen-antibody reaction are
lymphocytes which, having become sensitized by the invading
allergen, subsequently multiply in the lymph nodes. Since this
process of lymphocyte sensitization and multiplication takes some
time to occur, the resultant antigen-antibody reaction is delayed –
118

in contrast to the immediate type of reaction seen in cases of shock
and urticaria, in which preformed circulating antibodies from mast
cells proceed at once the release of such direct-acting vasotropic
substances as histamine.
