Q

causes

A
  1. persistent microbial infections- low pathogenicity so not kill you right away so delayed hypersensitivity and hard to eradicate
  2. immune related inflamm disease- autoimmune, unregulated responses, allergic vs environ antigens
  3. prolonged exposure to toxins - exo or endogenous (inc plasma lipid components)

Q

morphological features

A
  1. infiltration with mononuclear cells aka macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells
  2. tissue destruction- induced by persistent stimulus or inflamm cells
  3. attempts healing- CT replace damaged tissue, new vessel prolif aka angiogenesis and fibrosis (collagen)

Q

macro activation pathway

A
  1. circulating mono will extravate into tissue
  2. interact with act IFN-gamma or microbes from T cell > inflamm OR IL4/cyotkines > repair
  3. if inflamm then ROS, proteases, cytokines, coag factors, AA metabolites
  4. if repair then growth factors, fibrogenic cytokines, angeiogenic factors, remodelling

Q

reciprocal relationship

macro-T cell

A

activated T cell expresses TNF, IL17, chemokines to recruit neutrophils or macros that get activated by IFN-gamma

act macrophage secretes IL1 and TNF-alpha

antigen presentation to T cells by IL12 (TH1)

Q

eosinophils

A

parasitic infections or immune rxn by IgE with allergies

recruitment dep on chemokine eotaxin

granules have major basic protein toxic to parasites but also can epithelial cell lysis

Q

mast cells

A

both acute and chronic inflamm

armed w/ IgE to certain antigens and will release histamine and PG so central for anaphylactic rxns

helpful in parasitic infections bc may produce cytokines like TNF for fibrosis

Q

neutrophils

A

in chronic bc of persistent microbes or mediators enhanced by macrophages, necrotic cells, T cells

acute and chronic can co-exist as chronic active inflamm

key cell of acute

20
Q

results of chronic

A

cont tissue damage

ongoing

21
Q

lifestyle factors

A
  1. smoking
  2. xs alc intake
  3. physical emo stress
  4. obesity
  5. lack of exercise
  6. diet
22
Q

granulomatous inflamm

A

distinctive pattern of chronic in limited # of infections

23
Q

granulom inflamm characteristics

A

aggs of act macroswith squamous cell appearance aka epithelioid, focal area of the inflamm is granuloma surrounded by collar of mononuclear leuks (lymphocytes, plasma cells)

cellular attempt to contain offending agent diff to eradicate like indigestible substances

extensive tissue destruction (caseous necrosis) sometimes

24
Q

conditions

A
  1. bacterial infection- tuberculosis (caseous necrosis)
  2. fungal
  3. parasitic
  4. autoinflamm- sarcoidosis
  5. foreign materials

settings of persistent T cell respons to certainmicrobes and fungi

25
granulomatous mechanism
1. Th1 cells secret gamma-IFN to act macros 2. TNF-alpha from macro induce and maintain granuloma anti TNF drugs can sequester granuloma to break down and disseminate disease, test for TB before starting
26
granulation tissue | characteristics
1. prolif of fibroblasts 2. new thin walled delicate capillaries bc trying to repair 3. fibros and caps are in loose ECM 4. scattered macros and other inflamm cells, esp early stage
27
granulomas
epithelioid cells (aggs of macros) + collar of lymphocytes and plasma cells surrounding rim of fibroblasts and CT in older ones fuse to form multinucleated giant cells (langhans type if peripheral ring pattern or foreign body type if haphazard arrangement) | NOT the same as langerhan cells
28
foreign body granulomas
form in resp to inert foregin bodies like splinters, sutures, breast implant, glass -will be inside of granuloma since walled off form when material too large to be phagocytosed
29
lymphangitis
inflamm of lymphatic channel leuks and cell debris in lymphatics -blood poisoning (red streaks up arm) seen
30
reactive lymphadenitis
inflamm of draining lymph node may gain access to blood stream if overwhelm LN = bacteremia
31
systemic effects clinical signs | acute phase response or SIRS
1. fever 2. change serum acute phase proteins 3. inc WBCs 4. dec appetite 5. altered sleep patterns
32
systemic effects - fever
inc 1-4 degrees when due to infection LPS from bacterial product (exogenous pyrogen) stim prod of IL1 and TNF (endogenous pyrogens) IL1 and TNF = inc COX and PG syn via AA @ hypothalamic thermoreg center aka vascular cells and perivascular -PGE2 resets body temp
33
fever effects
improve
34
acute phase proteins
syn in liver -CRP -ceruloplasmin -haptoglobin -fibrinogen -serum amyloid A protein
35
acute phase proteins mechanisms
syn upreg by IL1,6,TNF-alpha
36
leukocytosis
inc total WBC count to 15,000-20,000 -normally 4,000-10,000 if >
37
systemic shift left
inc immature WBC
38
neutrophilia
inc absolute # of neutros in most bacterial infections
39
lymphocytosis
inc in absolute # of lymphs in viral infections -mononucleosis, mumps, german measles/rubella T cells, B cells, plasma cells
40
eosinophilia
inc abs # of eosins in asthma, hay fever, parasitic infections
41
leukopenia
dec absolute # of WBC in typhoid fever, debilitated hosts or overwhelming infection, some viral infectionszxxx
42
other manifestations of systemic inflamm
1. ANS- inc pulse and BP, dec sweating after redirected blood flow from cutaneous to deep vascular beds to min heat loss 2. behavioral- shivering, chills, anorexia, somnolence, malaise
43
sepsis
severe bacterial infections with large # LPS and micro-orgs = large quantity of cytokines esp TNF and IL1 xs cytokines = cardiovasc failure, microthrombi (DIC), liver injury form hypoglycemia -if all 3 then septic shock
44
defective inflamm
inc susceptibility to infections + delayed wound healing
45
excessive inflamm
severe and/or long time inflamm basis of many diseases esp cancer -also autoimmune, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, neurodegenerative | longer inflamm persist = inc risk cancer
46
cancer
ROS and RNS (inflam mediators) can damage cells membrane and proteins -also DNA breakage and promote deamination of DNA = mutagenic events
