Q

acute v. chronic basics

A

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

Q

possible pathway of an acute injury/inflammation (seq of events)

A

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)

Q

sequence of events for chronic inflammation

A

injury - chronic inflammation - healing/organization - fibrosis

28
Q

3 events in acute inflammation

A
  1. vd vasc changes, neutrophil, limited injury
29
Q

4 events in chronic inflammation

A
  1. angiogenesis
  2. PMNs in
  3. fibrosis (scar)
  4. progressive cell and tissue injury
30
Q

what is ischemic injury resulting in death?

A

INFARCTION!!!!

31
Q

what is the only way you won’t surmount an infection?

A

if you are compromised

32
Q

morphological patterns of acute inflammation (4)

A

ulcers - local defect of surface, slough off necrotic tissue

abcess- supperative protein rich pus exudate

serous inflammation - protein poor exudate like a blister. will resorb into lymphatics

fibrous inflammation - has exudate - ie. pericarditis

33
Q

what is the morphology of the following acute injury/inflammation:

ulcers, abcess, blister, pericarditis

A

ULCER - (ulcer) local defect of surface, slough off necrotic tissue

ABCESS- supperative protein rich pus exudate

BLISTER - serous inflammation - protein poor exudate like a blister. will resorb into lymphatics

PERICARDITIS fibrous inflammation - has exudate - ie. pericarditis

34
Q

give an example of each of the following acute inflammation morphological changes:

ulcer
supperative
serous
fibrous

A

ULCER - (ulcer) local defect of surface, slough off necrotic tissue

ABCESS- supperative protein rich pus exudate

BLISTER - serous inflammation - protein poor exudate like a blister. will resorb into lymphatics

PERICARDITIS fibrous inflammation - has exudate - ie. pericarditis

35
Q

what is the pathophys of acute appendicitis?

A

increase in PMNs all over appendix and this has lots of lytic enzymes and will burst

36
Q

you will see a lot of ________ in bacterial infection

A

neutrophils

37
Q

you will see a lot of ________ in viral infection

A

lymphocutes and b cells

38
Q

you will see a lot of ________ in parasite infection

A

eosinophils

39
Q

first responders to chronic inflammation

A

macrophage

40
Q

what do activated macrophages do in chronic inflammation?

A
  1. eliminate microbes and necrotic tissue
  2. initiate repair process
  3. make tissue injury in chronic inflame
  4. accumulate and persist (=granuloma)
41
Q

why don’t granulomas form with acute infection?

A

they form in chronic bc they hang around persist and accumulate where as in acute they move away or die

42
Q

granuloma

A

collection of macrophages surrounded by lymphocytes

43
Q

path from monocyte to macrophage and 2 fates

A

circulating monocyte - adherent monocyte - emigrating monocyte

into tissue = macrophage

if activated by cytokines and GF it will go into repair mode where i twill promote scar formation

if activated by INF2 / T cells it will go into inflammation tissue injury

44
Q

cross talk between macrophages and T cells in chronic inflammation

A

macrophages present antigens to activate t cell

t cell releases cytokines to activate macrophage

45
Q

what can you deduce if you see lung tissue with lymphocytes?

A

viral interstitial pneumonia

46
Q

what if there are eosinophils “at the scene” ?

A

parasite or allergic rxn (IgE) - major basic protein granules

47
Q

what if mast cells are “at the scene?”

A

in both acute and chronic - release histamine, LKT, IL1, TNF and allergic IgE…. anaphylaxis.

48
Q

why do granulomas form?

A

because you try to digest something and you simply can’t. macrophages come in and encase it and lymphocytes gather outside. looks like a single cell with multi nuclei lined by lymphocytes…. - often due to foreign body like a suture. “granulomatous inflammation”

49
Q

example of granulomatous inflammation

A

necrotizing granuloma in caseous necrosis in TB

50
Q

the two avenues by which you “heal” s/p inflammation

A
  1. regeneration - cells proliferate and replace

2. repair - replace with scar and fibrous collagen

51
Q

labile cells

A

continuously dividing - skin/hematopoetic

52
Q

stable cells

A

quiescent - sit in Go and if called upon they will proliferate (liver smooth muscle kidney panc fibroblasts endothelial cells)

53
Q

permanent cells

A

nondividing - skeletal muscle and cardiac

54
Q

parachymal cells and ECM

A

parenchyma cells are the functioning ones inside like hepatocytes. ECM is CT blood vessels collagen etc - “stroma”

55
Q

when must you lay down scar tissue/granulation tissue?

A

if you injure both the parachemal cells and the ECM. you will have granulation tissue (scab)

56
Q

what is granulation tissue? what is it made of? who makes it?

A

granulation tissue is a temporary tissue on the way to making a scar. it is made of capillaries and fibroblasts. fibroblasts produce collagen.

57
Q

5 steps in replacement of injured cells with fibrous tissue

A
  1. inflammation
  2. angiogenesis
  3. migration and proliferation of fibroblasts
  4. fibrosis
  5. scar remodeling

“I AM FUCKING SMART”

58
Q

angiogenesis

A

second step in forming scar tissue - it is regulated by VEGF from the macrophage. causes vd, migration and proliferation of endothelial cells, inhibits remodeling and proliferation in capillaries, forms mature smooth muscle

59
Q

VEGF

A

angiogenesis courtesy of macrophage

second step in forming scar tissue - it is regulated by VEGF from the macrophage. causes vd, migration and proliferation of endothelial cells, inhibits remodeling and proliferation in capillaries, forms mature smooth muscle

60
Q

fibrosis

A

deposit of collagen and ECM by fibroblasts

61
Q

scar remodeling

A

inc synthesis and dec degredation

collagenase will thin out the scar. new balance between degrad. and synthesis. controlled by MMP’s

62
Q

cytokines r/t collagen

A

increase synthesis

63
Q

metalloprotenase r/t collagen

A

decrease collagen degradation

64
Q

wound healing by first intention

A

epithelial regeneration surmounts fibrosis

65
Q

wound healing by second intention

A

infarct or ulcer where inc loss of parenchyma cells and cannot restore original architecture

66
Q

lymphocytes

A

B AND T CELLS!!!!

67
Q

what are the four zones of an ulcer?

A
  1. base and margins (thin layer of necrotic tissue)
  2. nonspecific inflammation (neutrophils)
  3. granulation tissue (3-5 days)
  4. fibrous collagenous scar tissue
