Inflammation 5: Chronic inflammation Flashcards
Compare vascular changes between Acute & chronic inflammation
- Acute: Marked change
- Chronic: mild
compare fluid exudate of Acute & chronic inflammation
Acute has more exudate
Compare inflammatory cells of Acute & chronic inflammation
Acute: POLYMPORH NUCLEAR
* Neutrophils (key cell)
* Macrophages
Chronic: MONONUCLEAR
* Macrophage (key cell)
* Plasma cells
* Giant cells
* Lymphocytes
compare fibrosis of Acute & chronic inflammation
Chronic has Marked fibrosis, Acute has mild fibrosis
which type of inflammation shows more signs of inflammation (red, hot, tender, swelling, etc)
Acute inflammation
Compare between injuries of Acute & chronic inflammation
- Acute: Mild self- limited
- Chronic: Severe progressive (heals by scar tissue destruction)
Compare between specific & Non sepcific chronic inflammation
Nonspecific Chronic inflammation:
* Caused by different irritants
* usually comes after acute inflammation, such as abscess that developed into chronic abscess
* It shows Thickened arterioles (End Arteritis Obliterans) (EAO)
Specific:
* Caused by multiple irritants
* Starts as chronic right away, such as Bilharziasis
* It shows Granuloma
Define chronic inflammation
Inflammation of prolonged duration which heals by fibrosis
Causes of Chronic inflmmation
- Presistant infection difficult to get rid of
- Hypersensitivity/ autoimmune disease
- Prolonged exposure to exogenous undegradable agents/ foreign bodies
role of Macrophage in chronic inflammation
Key cell:
1. Monocytes migrate from blood into tissue by Chemokines to become MACROPHAGES
2. They are activated by Bacterial endotoxins or Cytokines derived from the T cells
3. They immobilize bacteria & produce proteolytic enzymes to cause Intacellular killing + degenration of Extracellular matrix & tissue damage
4. Secrete growth factors for repair
5. After inflammation, they either die, wander into lymphatics or under the effect of INF gamma from T lymphocytes, they become Multinucleated giant cells in granulomas
Monocytes migrate from blood to tissue by ____ & become ____
chemokines, Macrophages
Macrophages are activated by:
- Endotoxins
- Cytokines derived from T cells
Explain how macrophages eradicate bacteria
- Immobilization of bacteria
- Produce proteolytic enzymes for:
* Intracellular killing
* degenration of ECM
* tissue damage
Fate of macrophages after inflammation
- Die
- Wander in lymphocytes
- under the effect of INFgamma, become multinucleated giant cells in Granuloma
Role of B lymphocytes in chronic inflammation
production of Antiboides
