Q

Pt comes in with persistent infection and they are found to have catalase positive organisms in their system. Why is the infection not resolving?

A

Catalase (along with glutathione peroxidase ) are ANTIOXIDANTS and they destroy free radicals.

microbes are killed by free radicals and there fore if they synthesize catalse they are avoiding death

Q

Cytosolic sensors of cell damage play an important role in acute inflammation. If there was a gain of function mutation of these sensors it would continuously trigger activation of inflammasomes what antagonist would you use to treat this?

a. IL-10 antagonist

Q

***Pt comes in with 2 cm erythematous abscess on her right shoulder. Abscess has been there for about 2 weeks now and doctor decides to incise and drain it. Large amount of pus drains from the incision site. What type of inflammation would you describe this as? and WHY?

A

ACUTE inflammation

PUS formation is due to the presence of large amounts of NEUTROPHILS. Even if the infection persisted for 2 weeks this is still considered an ACUTE process.

Q

You are in the lab looking at some lab test and histological slides of a patient with tuberculosis. Which of the following do you NOT expect this patient to have?

a. increase Th1 cells
b. lack of central necrosis
c. increased TNF alpha
d. Increase presence of Langhans type cells

A

Answer B.
TB is a form of CASEOUS granuloma:

  • central area of necrosis
  • increased IL-12 that activates Th1 cells (caseous granuloma has persistent T cell mediated response
  • TNF alpha is important for MAINTAINING granulomas
  • increased Langhans cells which are fused macrophages

Q

What cytokine MAINTAINS granulomas?

A

TNF alpha

19
Q

What is the difference between granulation tissue and granuloma?

A

Granuloma: is subtype of chronic inflamm. characterized by epitheliod histiocytes

GRanulation tissue: is initial phase of tissue when forming a scar
made up of fibroblasts , myoepethial cells and capillaries.

20
Q

What cytokine is important for connective tissue deposition in scar tissue formation?

A

TGF B ( secreted by M2 macrophages and promotes fibroblast proliferation )

21
Q

Your med school classmate got a paper cut. You use a butterfly bandage to bring the edges of the wound together with minimal scar formation. Which of the following is involved in healing of this wound?

a. wound contraction
b. clot as a scaffold
c. conversion of type 3 collagen to type 1
d. intense inflammatory response

A

B. clot formation is used as an initial scaffold in PRIMARY INTENTION wound healing

A,C,D are all related to SECONDARY intention

22
Q

Your med school classmate got a paper cut. You use a butterfly bandage to bring the edges of the wound together with minimal scar formation. Which of the following is involved in healing of this wound?

a. wound contraction
b. clot as a scaffold
c. conversion of type 1 collagen to type 3
d. intense inflammatory response

A

B. clot formation is used as an initial scaffold in PRIMARY INTENTION wound healing

A,D are all related to SECONDARY intention

  • edges are NOT approximated
  • leaves a big scar
  • involves wound contraction by myofibroblasts
  • has larger granulation tissue formation

C. Type 3 collagen is converted to Type 1 in scar tissue

23
Q

What is formed when there is EXCESS production of scar tissue that is out of proportion to the wound?

A

Keloid

24
Q

What do you expect to see around days 5-7 in scar tissue formation?

a. increased presence of M2s
b. increased TGF B and FGF
c. increased Type 1 collagen
d. decreased growth factors

A

B. TGF B and FGF dominate days 5-7 as they cause fibroblast recruitment, ECM depostition and agiogenesis.

A. is seen in the FIRST 24 hours

C. is seen WEEKS after during scar formation

D. you would see INCREASED growth factors in scar tissue formation

25
Q

What cells release IL-17?

A

T lymphocytes

26
Q

What cells release TNF alpha?

A

macrophages, mast cells, T lymphocytes

27
Q

What cells release IL-12?

A

Macrophages (M1) and dendritic cells

28
Q

What T cell type targets eusinophils by releasing IL-4 and IL-5 ?

A

29
Q

In the presence of Extracellular bacteria which T cell targets recruitment of neutrophils ?

A

Th 1 recruits macrophage for INTRAcellular bacteria

30
Q

In what type of inflmmation would you note tertiary lymphoid organs?

A

CHRONIC :

made up of lymphocytes , antigent presenting cells and plasma cells

31
Q

Give an example of a condition in which you would note tertiary lymphoid organs?

A

Anything Autoimmune which is characterized as CHRONIC inflammation

ex. hashimoto or rheumatoid arthritis

32
Q

What cell releases histamine, leukotrienes and prostaglandins?

A

Mast cells

33
Q

What is the source of Bradykinin and C5a or C53 ?

A

Complement and Kinins come from plasma (Produced in LIVER)

34
Q

Deficiency of what factor leads to paroxysosomal noctural hemoglobinuria (PNH)?

A

DAF factor : prevents formation of C3 convertase

35
Q

What inhibitor prevents the formation of MAC complex?

A

CD59 inhibitor

36
Q

Deficiency in what ___ leads to deficiency in both DAF and CD59 inhibitors?

A

GP1 anchors, these anchor the inhibtors to membrane

37
Q

Which cytokine is implicated in the Acute phase protein response?

A

IL-6

38
Q

In what time period of wound healing would you see increased fibroblasts and collegenases?

A

in REMODELING phase which is a FEW WEEKS

39
Q

A zinc deficiency would effect what part of wound healing?

A

REMODELING because collegenases are dependent on zinc (metal ion)

40
Q

in adhesion process ICAM/VCAM are present on __________ and VLA-4 / LFA-1 are present on ?

A

vasculature; leukocyte

41
Q

What are some angiogenic factors that contribute to wound healing?

A

VEGF, FGF, TGF B

42
Q

What process requires notch signaling?

A

Angiogenesis in scar formation

43
Q

A hypertrophic scar is a result of increased__________

A

collagen type III

44
Q

What type of cells would you find in someone with pulmonary fibrosis?

A

macrophages and FIbroblasts
