Inflammation Flashcards
5 pillars of inflammation
tumor, calor, dolor, rubor, function loss
types of acute inflammation
serous, fibrinous, supperative, ulceration
types of chronic inflammation
lymphphacytic, plasma cellular, eosinophillic, granulomatous, fibrous
acute v. chronic basics
acute- often related to trauma, fluid and plasma protein exudation and PMNs – NEUTROPHILS!!!!!!! are FIRST RESPONDERS!!!!!!!! (sometimes pus)
chronic: persistent infection, foreign bodies, immune reactions. **LYMPHOCYTES AND MACROPHAGES!!!!!!** PLASMA CELLS, granulation tissue and fibrosis
exudate
protein rich fluid — INC SPECIFIC GRAVITY
transudate
protein pour fluide (ie. blister)
first event in acute inflammation
vasodilation and increased blood flow to the sight (rubor, valor)
what is the second step in acute inflammation and what causes it?
second step - histamine serotonin LKT bradykinin - endothelial contraction
third step in acute inflammation
leukocyte cellular events
3 steps of acute inflammation
- vd 2. inc perm 3. leuk cellular events
what are the 6 steps of “leukocyte cellular events?”
- margination
- rolling
- adhesions (RBCs pool when blood slows)
- diapedesis
- chemotaxis
- phagocytosis
MRADCP
what happens to blood after vd?
IT SLOWS DOWN!!!! pools
selectins
mediate adhesions in MIGRATION AND ROLLING - the looser connection
expression of selectins is regulated by ______
cytokines
integrins
when TNF and IL1 are released from activated macrophages integrins (CAM1, VCAM1 and PECAM1) created the TIGHTER connection or adhesion
chemotaxis is mediated by_______
c5a and LKTb4
order of things that infiltrate into the lung
- fluid
- proteins and fibrin
- neutrophils
pneumonia histologically
you will notice inc rbcs in the alveolar septum r/t pooling. also in what should be the clear air space there is eosinophilic pink fluid from capillaries and later there will be protein, neutrofils
chronic granulomatous dz
no ROS/burst - organisms surround by histocytes. defects in neutrophillic fxn leads to recurrent bacterial infections
chediak-higashi syndrome
impaired fusion of lysozymes to phagocytes and decreased secretion of secretory granules by cytotoxic lymphocytes
where do LKT come from and what is the fxn?
leuk and mast cells. inc vasc perm, inc chemotaxis, inc adhesin
where do cytokines come from?
macrophages, lymphocytes, endothelial cells and mast cells
where do anaflotoxins come from?
plasma and liver
common causes of acute inflammation with regard to injuries
infarct, bact infection, toxin, trauma
chronic injury examples
viral and chronic infection, persistant injury, autoimmune dz
possible pathway of an acute injury/inflammation (seq of events)
injury then to either (chronic) or
acute inflammation
that can go three places:
1. resolution
2. abcess —-> heal/organization —-> fibrosis
3. or directly to fibrosis (collagen and lose fxn)
