Exam 2 - Inflammation/Injury Flashcards
4 Cellular Adaptations to Stress
Hypertrophy
Hyperplasia
Atrophy
Metaplasia
Metaplasia
Differentiated cellular change New cell type better adapted to stress Fertile ground for cancer (no inherent malignancy) Barret esophagus (intestinal metaplasia) Squamous metaplasia (lungs, smoking)
Reversible Cell Injury types and changes
Cellular swelling, fatty change
Intracelluar changes:
1. PM alterations
2. Mito changes (swelling, lipo densities)
3. ER dilation, detachment of ribosomes
4. Nuclear alterations, chromatin clumping
Irreversible cell injury types
Necrosis
Apoptosis
Necrosis features (Cell size, nuc changes, PM changes, contents, inflammation?)
Cell swell Pkynosis to lysis PM disrupted Contents leak Inflammation Pathologic
Apoptosis features (Cell size, nuc changes, PM changes, contents, inflammation?)
Cell shrink Nuclear fragmentation PM intact, but altered Contents don't leak No inflammation Physiologic
5 Patterns of necrosis
Coagulative Liquefactive Caseous Fat Fibrinoid
Coagulative necrosis
Tissue structure preserved
Ghost cells
Characteristic of infarcts
Liquefactive necrosis
Inflammatory accumulation
Leukocytes digest tissue
Bacterial/fungal infections, CNS hypoxia
Caseous necrosis
White necrosis
Granulomatous inflammation
Necrotizing granuloma
Acid fast bacilli stain
Fat necrosis
Break down of fat by lipases
Metabolize to FFA which precipitate out
Chalky grey
Following acute pancreatitis or trauma
Fibrinoid necrosis
Immune reaction
Antibodies into artery wall and complex with fibrin
Vasculitis (polyarteritis nodosa)
Mechanisms of cell injury
ATP depletion Mito damage Ca2+ influx ROS accumulation Increased PM perm. Damaged DNA/misfolded protein accumulation
Apoptosis
Apoptotic bodies (membrane bound) Pyknotic nucleus Intrinsic pathway (mito BAX, BAK, caspase 9) Extrinsic pathway (death receptor, caspase 8)
Autophagy
Nutrient stress
Cell eats own contents
Dysregulation indicated in disease
Pathologic Calcifications
- Dystrophic - dead/dying tissue
Absence of derangements in Ca metabolism
2. Metastatic - normal tissue Secondary to derangement in Ca metabolism Psammoma bodies (indicate turnover)
Acute Inflammation (Onset, cell type, tissue injury?, signs?)
Fast onset
Neutrophils
Mild tissue injury
Prominent local/systemic signs
Chronic Inflammation (Onset, cell type, tissue injury?, signs?)
Slow onset
Monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes
Tissue injury severe
Subtle local/systemic signs
4+1 signs of inflammation
Calor (warmth) Rubor (erythema) Tumor (swelling) Dolor (pain) Loss of function
5 Agents that cause acute inflammation
Infections Tissue necrosis Trauma Foreign Material Immune Reactions
Hallmarks of inflammation
Vasodilation and vascular permeability
2 receptor families for acute inflammation
TLRs (TNF, Type I interferon)
Inflammasome (IL-1)
Exudate
Cause, protein, LDH, cells, specific gravity, glucose
Result of increased vascular permeability High protein content/ratio High LDH ratio High cell content High specific gravity Low glucose ratio
Transudate
Cause, protein, LDH, cells, specific gravity, glucose
Result of hydrostatic/osmotic pressure changes Low protein content/ ratio Low LDH ratio Low cell content Low specific gravity High glucose ratio
2 vessel changes leading to exudate and mechs
- Increased blood flow (histamine on smooth muscle)
- Increased vessel permeability
a. Endothelial contraction (hista, bradykinin then IL1/TNF)
b. Injury
c. Transcytosis (vesicle transport)
