[State of the mucociliary system in patients of senior age with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases].
The condition of mucociliary system has been studied in 246 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. It is stated that chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases patients observe the significant variation of bronchial clearance's tempos, imbalance in the system of lipids' peroxide oxidation and antioxidant defense during aggravation and remission. Dysfunction of mucociliary transport is associated with the changes of mucilaginous elastic characteristics of tracheal-bronchial secretion that leads to progression of bronchial obstruction.
