acute and chronic pancereatitis (pathology) Flashcards
pancreas parenchima
80% exocrine
1-2% langrhans islands, endcrine
exocrine cells
acinic cells
proenzymes: trypsinogen + chymotrypsinogen
active enzemys: amylase+ lipase
ductular (small ducts) cells: bicarbonate 2-7mm
ductal (large ducts) cells: mucin
exocrine self digestion defense mechanism
proenzymes
zymogenic granular secrition
entrokinase dependant activation
chymotryapsinogen activator?
tyrapsin
trypsinogen activator?
entrokinase in brush border
trypsin (high ca+2)
trypsin inhibition?
acinar and ductal secretions: serine protease inhibitor kazal type 1 (SPINK1)
auto self inhibition of trypsin (low ca+2)
acute pancreatitis etiology
metabolic: alchohol, drugs, hyperlipoproteinemia
mechanical:
obstructions- gallstones,tumors
injuries- endoscopic
vascular- shock, emboli
infections- mumps, m.pneumoniae
idiopathic
genetic etiology of acute pancreatitis
cationic trypsinogen (serine protease 1 PRSS1, 7q35)
GOF- self inactivation cleavage site germline mutation
AD 0.8 penetrance
CFTR (7q31)
LOF
duct obstruction
SPINK1
GOF
AR
etiology of acute pancreatitis
30-60% due to gall stones
alcholism
acute pancreatitis - duct obstruction pathopysiology
obstruction interstitial edema impaired blood flow ischemia acinar cell injury activation of enzymes
acute pancreatitis -defective intracellular transport pathopisiology (not prooven yet)
transport of pancreatic proenzymes to lysosome
activation of enzymes
alchol (usually chronic) induced acute pancreatitis pathopysiology
contraction of spinchter of oddi-obstruction
higher exocrine viscosity- obstruction
free radicals -> ca+2 is up -> self activation of trypsin
acute pancreatitis morphology
microvascular leakage -edema
necrosis of fat (lypase and amylase endocrinic dissemination) ->
saponification- ca+2 + phospholipds addhition
destruction of BV- hemmorage
chronic pancreatitis 2 types
calcific / obstructive
autoimmune
calcific / obstructive chronic pancreatitis definition
chronic inflammation with irreversible changes in structure which lead to 100% loss of exocrine activity
calcific / obstructive chronic pancreatitis etiology
long standing obstruction
chronic alchoholism 10-20
smoking (strongest advansor of acute to chronic pancreatitis)
calcific / obstructive chronic pancreatitis chimokins
IL 8
TGFb
PDGF
all proliferate myofibroblasts -> collagen deposition and fibrosis
