Acute inflammatory response can result in? (2)

A
  • resolution or scarring if stim is destroyed

- necrosis if stim is not destroyed (depends on how frequently affected cell divides)

Q

Leukocyte adhesion steps?

A
  1. P-selectin (from weibel palade bodies) go to surface of endothelial cells; bind mucin (PSGL-1, ESL-1) of leukocytes
  2. chemokine dependent activation (TNFa, IL-1): chemokine binds low affinity integrin of leukocyte –> high affinity integrin to surface (VLA4, LFA1); chemokine –> VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 to endothelial surface, bind integrins

Q

Transmigration of leukocyte?

A

Ca2+ influx –> mysoin contraction –> leukocyte transmigration paracellularly

Q

Integrin

A

Leukocyte adhesion
on leukocytes
cytokines binding to low affinity integrin induces high affinity integrin sent to surface (VLA4, LFA1)

18
Q

ESL-1

A

Leukocyte adhesion

Mucin

19
Q

VLA4

A

Leukocyte adhesion

high affinity integrin

20
Q

VCAM-1

A

Leukocyte adhesion
Sent to endothelial surface with cytokine activation
binds high affinity integrins (VLA4, LFA1)

21
Q

LFA-1

A

Leukocyte adhesion

High affinity integrin on leukocyte

22
Q

ICAM-1

A

leukocyte adhesiion
sent to endothelial surface with cytokine activation
binds high affinity integrins of leukocyte (VLA4, LFA1)

23
Q

PECAM1

A

helps with transmigration

24
Q

CD99

A

helps with transmigration

25
Q

Clinical features of inflammation (4)

A

erythema (red), warmth, swelling, pain

26
Q

Diurnal variation

A

lower body temp in am than in pm

27
Q

Pyrexia v hyperexia v hyperthermia

A

Pyrexia = higher set point
Hyperpyrexia = super high set point (can –> infection and CNS damage)
Hyperthermia=increase in temp (heat stroke)

28
Q

What resets set point? How do they work?

A

Pyrogens

Works on anterior nucleus of hypothalamus –> PGE2 release (via NFkappaB TF) –> cAMP pathway –> increase set point

29
Q

what does CRP target?

A

C-reactive protein
binds PC and LPS of bacteria/fungi
binds PC of damaged cells

30
Q

What are acute phase proteins?

A

CRP and MBL from liver

31
Q

What does MBL target?

A

mannose rich bacteria

32
Q

ESR?

A

erythrocyte sedimentation rate
normal 18mm/hr
increases with infection

33
Q

Leukocytosis

A

increase in # of WBC

34
Q

Neutrophilia? what does path look like?

A

increase neutrophil #

“left sshift” increased immature forms: bands (horshoes) and metamyelocytes (kidneys)

35
Q

Etiology of neutrophilia?

A

bacterial infection, tissue necrosis, prednisone (used to treat inflamm)

36
Q

Leukomoid reaction

A

very high WBC count

similar to leukemia

37
Q

Eosinophilia

A

Increase eosinophil #

38
Q

Eosinophilia etiologies

A

immune response to allergies, psoriasiss eczema, parasitic infection

39
Q

Lymphocytosis

A

Increase lymphocyte #

40
Q

Lymphocytosis etiology

A

viral infection

41
Q

Leukopenia

A

decrease WBC <4000/microL

42
Q

Etiologies of leukopenia

A

bacterial, viral, protozoa
