Q

What are the three major steps of acute inflammation? Result of each?

A

Dilation of small vessels and local stasis of blood flow - redness, heat

Increased vascular permeability to permit exit of fluid, plasma proteins, leukocytes - swelling, pain

Migration and accumulation of leukocytes into the site of injury and their activation - pain, loss of function

Q

What do animals with leukocyte adhesion deficiency lack?
Presentation?

A

Functional expression of B2 integrins
Severe gingivitis, tooth loss, oral ulcers, abscesses (without pus), pneumonia, diarrhea

21
Q

What is chemotaxis?
Two types of chemoattractants? Function?

A

movement of a motile cell
Endogenous and exogenous
Bind G protein coupled receptors

22
Q

Discuss steps of chemotaxis signaling on slide 24.

23
Q

WATCH chemotaxis video on slide 26.

24
Q

How long do neutrophils last?

A

only a few days

25
Q

If the offense is destroyed, what happens to neutrophils (2)?

A

undergo apoptosis
Removed by macrophages and dendritic cells

26
Q

If neutrophils are infected what happens?

27
Q

In neutrophils are uninfected what happens?

28
Q

If the offense remains, what happens?

A

More neutrophils recruited and switch to more chronic inflammatory response

29
Q

Discuss systemic effects of acute inflammation.

30
Q

3 components of systemic inflammation?

A

Mast cells, macrophages, dendritic cells

31
Q

Discuss functions of fever.

32
Q

What lab findings help us ID systemic inflammation? (specific components of each)

A

CBC (leukocytosis, neutrophilia, and left shift)
and Acute phase proteins (positive- increase during inflammation)

33
Q

What are acute phase proteins primarily induced by?

34
Q

What are acute phase proteins produced by?

A

hepatocytes

35
Q

Appearance timeline of acute phase proteins?

A

90 minutes

36
Q

Discuss C-reactive proteins.

37
Q

Discuss serum amyloid A.

38
Q

What is amyloidosis?

A

a rare disease characterized by a buildup of abnormal amyloid deposits in the bod

39
Q

Discuss iron binding molecules.
Importance?
Role in pathogenic mechanisms?

40
Q

Role of protease inhibitors?

A

inhibit neutrophil proteases at inflammatory sites

41
Q

Role of negative acute phase proteins? Example?

A

Decrease during inflammation
Albumin

42
Q

Discuss Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.

43
Q

Why are certain species more sensitive to sensitive shock? Species?

A

PIMS
Cat, horse, sheep, pig

44
Q

Species without PIMS? As a result?

A

dogs, rodents
less susceptible to septic shock

45
Q

Three MAJOR steps of acute inflammation

A

Vasodilation
Vascular permeability
Migration of leukocytes to the site of inflammation

46
Q

Steps of leukocyte migration?

A
  1. Margination
  2. Rolling
  3. Adhesion
  4. Extravasation
47
Q

Vasoactive lipids are derived from what and role in vetmed?

A

cell membrane/drug targets

48
Q

Three major acute pro-inflammatory cytokines? Act on?

A

IL1, IL6, TNFa
hypothalamus, liver, bone marrow

49
Q

Where are acute phase proteins produced? In response to?

A

liver
pro-inflammatory cytokines

50
Q

SIRS occurs when?

A

inflammatory cascades are set in motion throughout the body
