Q

how is specific (primary) chronic inflammation induced by immunological agents?

A
  • infective organisms that grow in cells
  • hypersensitivity reactions

Q

what are epithelioid macrophages?

A
  • mass of macrophages joined together

17
Q

what is the non immunological cause of chronic granulomatous inflammation?

A

foreign body in tissue eg asbestos particles

18
Q

what is the main aim of macrophages in chronic inflammation?

A

phagocytose and present antigen

19
Q

which type of macrophage is tissue injury?

20
Q

which type of macrophages is tissue repair?

21
Q

what is tissue injury by M1 macrophages in chronic inflammation?

A

Toxic oxygen metabolites
Proteases
Neutrophil chemotactic factors
Coagulation factors
AA metabolites
Nitric oxide

22
Q

what is tissue injury by M2 macrophages in chronic inflammation?

A

Process of fibrosis
Growth factors (PDGF,FGF,TGF beta)
Fibrogenic cytokines
Angiogenesis factors (FGF)
Remodelling collagenases

23
Q

give an example of a chronic granulomatous inflammation?

A

Orofacial Granulomatosis

24
Q

what is Orofacial Granulomatosis termed if a patient has intestinal crohns?

A

oral crohns

25
Q

give an example of Specific (primary) chronic inflammation?

A

autoimmune disease

26
Q

give an example of Non-specific chronic inflammation?

A

Periodontists

27
Q

what is chronic periodontitis characterised by?

A

soft tissue (gingival tissue) and hard tissue (alveolar bone destruction)

28
Q

what is the extracellular matrix remodelled by?

A

matrix metalloproteinases

29
Q

what do Matrix metalloproteinases apart from remodel the extracellular matrix?

A

help cells migrate and angiogenesis

30
Q

after how many years do we get a new skeleton?

31
Q

what do osteoblasts do?

A

osteoblastogenesis = bone formation

32
Q

what do osteoclasts do?

A

osteoclastogenesis = bone resorption

33
Q

what do osteoblasts and osteoclasts differentiate from?

A

macrophages

34
Q

what produces RANKL?

A

osteoblasts

35
Q

what are RANK receptors found on?

A

osteoclasts

36
Q

what is OPG?

A

osteoprotogerin

37
Q

where does OPG come from?

A

secreted from osteoblasts

38
Q

what does RANKL stand for?

A

Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand

39
Q

what does OPG do?

A

inhibits RANKL function - therefor controlling bone resorption

40
Q

what is it important to control the ratio of RANKL to OPG?

A

balance between bone loss and resorption

41
Q

what destroys soft tissue?

A

Matrix metalloproteinases
