Chronic Inflammation & Wound Healing Flashcards
define chronic inflammation
when acute inflammatory response fails
after repeated episodes of acute inflammation
how do you characterize chronic inflammation? (what cell types are present)
fibroblast - fibrosis
macrophage
lymphocytes
plasma cells
*VERY FEW neutrophils (acute)
fill out the chart in regards to chronic inflammation
list the four possible outcomes that occur if conditions do NOT allow full resolution of acute inflammation
abscess form
progression to chronic/granulomatous inflammation
healing with increased cellularity
healing by fibrosis
fibrin vs fibrous
which is acute and chronic?
fibrin - acute, disorganized, friable
fibrous - chronic, organized, fills within tissues
fibroUS stays with US
fibrin or fibrous?
fibrin - acute
fibrin or fibrous?
fibrous - chronic
list the main types of chronic inflammation
abscess
granuloma (nodular, diffuse)
eosinophilic granuloma (parasites)
lymphocytic to lymphoplasmacytic inflammation
ID the chronic inflammation type
abscess
how does abscess form?
neutrophils/acute liquify affected tissue/neutrophils to form pus
list the two types of abscess
septic - bacterial
sterile - partially degraded foreign body
what is myeloperoxidases role in abscesses?
enzyme in neutrophils that contributes to neutrophil necrosis and liquefaction
which abscess type requires lancing to be drained?
septic - since forms fibrous capsule, need to lance to allow drugs to be effective
ID the cells in chronic inflammation
ID chronic inflammation type
granuloma
define granuloma aka granulomatous inflammation
when monocyte-macrophage system is predominant and causes a shift from neutrophils to macrophage/lymphocyte/fibroblast/epitheliod macrophage/giant cells etc
describe epithelioid macrophages
large macrophages at site of infection
pale eosinophilic cytoplasm
secretes mediators
describe multinucleated giant cells
fused macrophages present when pathogen is resistant to elimination
has many nuclei
mediates tissue remodeling
ID the arrows
what type of chronic inflammation is this?
granuloma
describe fibroblasts
most common in CT, at outer part of granuloma
elongated cells, aid in integrity of tissue
helps with collagen/ECM synthesis
ID the cells
what type of chronic inflammation?
granuloma - fibroblasts
nodular vs diffuse granulomatous inflammation (bias?)
nodular - masses, TH1 biased
diffuse - dispersed in sheets, TH2 biased
describe presentation of nodular granulomas grossly vs microscopically
