DD Boyer Flashcards
Inflammatory cells can come from 2 places. Name them
- tissue based/Sentinels within tissue, 2. vascular from bone marrow and lymphnodes
What do Fibroblasts do in response to injury?
proliferate and produces collagen and other ECM to provide infrastructure
What do endothelial cells (blood vessel lining) in response to injury?
proliferate and form new blood vessels
Regenerative capacity of gastrointestinal system
epithelial cells have normal turnover and regenerate
Regenerative capacity of respiratory system
epithelial cells have normal turnover and regenerate, but septa of alveoli cannot regenerate once damaged
Regenerative capacity of liver
Great
Tissue-based Macrophages in liver
Kupffer cells
Regenerative capacity of Heart
absent
Regenerative capacity of Kidney
epithelial cells have normal turnover and regenerate, but glomeruli do not regenerate
local signs and symptoms of injury
Rubor, Calor, Tumor, Dolor
systemic signs and symptoms of injury
Sleepiness, Anorexia, Fever, Elevated WBC, hypotension
7 basic steps to injury response
Recruit help, increase blood flow, increase vascular permeability, recognition of problems, clear/remove/wall off offending material, collateral damage, stimulate repair and remodeling
how fast does the acute inflammatory phase start and last
rapid initiation: minutes to hours. Short duration
what cells are involved in acute inflammation
Neutrophils
what do Neutrophils do during acute response
phagocytose bacteria, tissue debris, and damaged issue
how fast does the chronic inflammatory phase start and last
initiation is slower (days or longer), but can lask anywhere from days to years.
what cells are involved with chronic inflammation
Macrophages and lymphocytes and Eosinophil
Functions of macrophages
phagocytosis and regulate inflammatory response
Functions of eosinophils
type-1 immune response, parasite difense, phagocytosis
When is repair initiated
during chronic phase
Critical features of acute inflammation - (hint: 3 things)
vasodilation, vascular permeability, and inflammatory cell infiltrate (neutrophils that make puss)
transient chronic phase of inflammatory response begins when?
it is initiated with Acute phase response
features prolonged/persistent chronic inammatory response (4 things)
- may or may not see acute phase 2. persistent infection 3. persistent damage/irritation (ie atheroschlerosis) 4. Antigen-Driven Immune-mediated process
source of cells in acute response
peripheral blood
source of cells in chronic response
Sentinel/local cells in tissue and peripheral blood
vascular response in acute phase
dilation/increased flow, increased permeability that can be transudate or exudate
vascular response in chronic phase
variable persistense of dialation and leakiness, endothelial cells activated and ready to proliferate
repair in chronic phase
macrohphages release growth factors, fibroblasts cause fibrosis and scar, endothelial cells neovascularize
Fibrinopurulent Exudate
Anywhere, but usually a nonconfined space. Usually infectious. Mostly neutrophils
Abscess
within a parenchyma/confined space, cavity is newly formed by accumulation of inflammatory cells. Usually infectious. Mostly neutrophils
Empyema
location within an anatomic space of cavity. Usually infectious. Neutrophils early, MACs and lymphocytes late
Cellulitis
skin, fascia/deep connective tissue. Infectious or inflammatory
Granuloma
within parenchyma, rounded nodular appearance. MACs and lymphocytes. Infectious or foreign body. Mineralized on x-ray or CT scan
Common laboratory tests for inflammation
WBC, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive proteins (acute phase), firbin split/degradation products and platelet count (DIC-related markers), repid ID testing, cultures and serology, Ig quantification
not typically evaluated lab tests for inflammation
chemical mediators (eg Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, interleukins)
What cells make histamine?
Mast cells and Basophils, platelets
what does histamine do?
Vasodilate, Vascular Perm., constriction of smooth muscles
What cells make serotonin?
Plts
what does serotonin do?
Vascular perm
What cells make Prostaglandins (PG)?
Mast cells, plts, Macs, Lymphs, PMNs, Endo cells
what do Prostaglandins (PG) do?
Vasodialate (PGI2), Plt ag. (+/-), constrict smooth muscle, fever, pain (PGE2, PGI2)
What cells make Leukotrienes LT C4, D4, E4?
Mast cells and Basos, Macs, Lymphs, PMNs
what do Leukotrienes LT C4, D4, E4 do?
Vascular Perm, constrict smooth muscle
What cells make Leukotrienes LT B4?
Mast cells and Basos, Macs, Lymphs, PMNs
what does Leukotrienes LT B4 do?
WBC chemotaxis
What cells make Thromboxanes TXA2?
Plts
