inflammation Flashcards
signs and symptoms of inflammation
- Heat (calor)
- redness (rubor)
- swelling (tumor)
=all due to vascular changes - pain (dolar)
-loss of function due to chem mediators and leukocytes
length of acute inflammation
hours to days
what is the characteristis of accute inflammation
exudation
neurtrophil infiltration
length of chronic inflammation
days-years
characteristics of chronic inflammation
- mononuclear inflammatory cell (lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells)
- infiltration with vascular proliferation
- fibrosis later
does chronic or accute inflammation cuase additional tissue damage
both
what mediates a fever
IL-1, TNF, PGE2
what happens to blood flow during acute inflmmation
Increased vascular permeability
what does the change in microvasculature do in acute inflammation
promote fluid (edema) and inflammatory cell accumulation in the tissue at the site of injury
where does vasodilation begin in acute inflammation
in the precapillary arterioles
what does vasodilation account for in acute inflammation
redness and heat
what mediates vasodilation in accute injury
NO from endo cells
Histamine from mast cells
maintained by prostaglandins
what does increased vascular permeability lead to
- movement of fluid out of the microvasculature (transudate or exudeate)
- blood concentrates and slows (statis)
- movement of inflammatory cells out of vessels (Diapedesis) occurs at post-capillary venules
what leads to swelling in acute injury
Accumulation of fluid in the extravascular tissue (Edema)
what is the physical characterists of transudate
Low protein
Low specific gravity
clear and yellow
what is non inflammatory transudate casued by
Endothelium still intact
fluid accumation due to increased hydrostatic pressure or decreased serum oncotic pressure
what causes inflammatory transudate
early endothelial cell conctration
is transudate or exudate for tissue and endothelial cell damage
Exudate
what makes up exudate
high protein contenet
high specific gravity
contains inflammatory cells usually
chacteristics of fibrinous exudate
High protein (fibron)
Few cells
Cloudy
chacteristis of Purulent exudate
Also called pus
Contains cells (neutrophils
Opaque
characters of Sanguineous exudate
Pink and red fluid due to fluid
where does Fibrinous exudate occur
around body organs
what causes purulent exudate
BActerial
what causes Sanguineous exudate
Break down in the blood barrier
what may cause increased vascular permeability during inflammation
Endothelial contraction Endothelial retration =due to mediators Direct injury (non-lethal injury, necrosis or detachment)
time frame of endothelial contraction in inflammation
Immediate then goes away
time frame for endothelial retraction in inflammation
Delayed then can be sustained for 24 hours
time frame for direct injury to endothelium in inlammation
Immediate or delayed and is often sustained
where does endothelial contraction often occur
post capilary venules
what mediates endothelial cell contraction
Histamine
bradykinin early, later by leukotrienes and PAF
C3a and C5a induce vasoactive amine release that leads to edema
what causes endothelial cell retraction
Restructuring of the cytoskeletal proteins
what mediates Endothelial cell retratction
IL-1
TNF
IFN-gamma
what may causes direct venule endothelial injury
Neutrophilic release of reactive ocygen species and lysosomal enzymes (proteases) during inflammation
what factors mediate pain
Bradykinin
PGE2
what factors mediate fever inflammation
IL-1
TNF
PGE2
what facotrs activate endothelail cells in inflammation
Histamine Thrombin Complement factors Cytokines - IL-1 and TND Bacterial production Hypoxia VIruses PAF
what do activated endothelail cells produce and why
PGI2 and NO to induce vasodilation
do endotheial cells contract of dilate during inflammation
Contract
what oes the cytoskelton of endothelial cells do during inflammation
Rearrange to retract
what does the surface of endothelial cells due during inflammation
INcrease expression and affininty of surface cell adhesion molecules
what does acitvated endothelial cells produce during inflammation
synth and release Inflammatory mediators
- PGI2
- PAF
- IL-1
- IL-6
- Chemokines
hoe does Leukocyte etravasation occure (Steps
Leukocyte margination Leukocyte rolling Leukocyte adhesion Emigration Chemotaxis
what leads to margination of leukocyte
Physical forces often due to stasis
what leads to rolling of leukocytes
Selectins (weak, transient, sticking)
what leads to adhesion of leukocytes
Integrins (ICAM, VCAM)
what causes emigration of leukocytes
PECAM
what do chemotactic factors do besides points cells to go in certain direction
stimulate leukocyte activation
what are the chemotactic factors for leukocyte extravasion
PAF (potent) LTB4 (Potent) C5a Chemokines Bacterial lipids and peptides Fibrin Degradation products (FDP)
what activates Leukocytes in an inflammatory response
Bacterial products Cellular debris Ab-Ag complexes Cytokines and chemokines CHemotactic factor
what does a leukocyte produce when activated
- Leukotrienes and prostaglandins from arachidonic acid
- ROS
- Cytokines
what does a leukocyte releases when acivated
Degradulation and release of lysosomal enzyme
what happens to the cell adhesion molecules when leukocytes are activated
Altered expression of cell adhesion molecules
How does A leukocyte do phagocytosis
Attachement
Engulfment into a phagocytic vacuole
Lysosomal degranulation by fusion with the phagosome
Oxidate burst releasing ROS
Other mech of intracellular killing: lysozyme, major basic protein, defensins, bactericidal permeability-increasin gprotein
