LEC5 - INFLAMMATION Flashcards
The word inflammation from the Latin
inflammare
(to set on fire)
according to him, inflammation is not a disease but only a protective response
john Hunter, Scottish surgeon in 1793:
Inflammation is a protective response involving:
- host cells
- blood vessels
- proteins and
- other mediators
host cell are involved if the inflammation is ?
acute or chronic
A response of vascularized tissues to infections and damaged tissues that brings cells and molecules of host
defense from the circulation to the sites where they are needed, in order to eliminate the offending agents
inflammation
The word inflammation from the Latin
inflammare (to set on
fire)
he profound the 4 signs of inflammation - cardinal signs
o Rubor – redness
o Tumor – swelling
o Calor – heat
o Dolor – pain
*These signs are hallmarks of acute inflammation
o Rubor – redness
o Tumor – swelling
o Calor – heat
o Dolor – pain
he Added the 5th sign “Functio leasa” of inflammation
Rudolf Virchow (19th century)
he says that Inflammation is not a disease but a stereotypic response
that has salutary effect on its host
John Hunter (1793)
she Discovered the process of phagocytosis
Elie Metchnikoff (1880s)
in order to clear up or eliminate the initial cause of inflammation is through the process of
phagocytosis
2 etiology of inflammation
exogenous and endogenous

CHANGES IN INFLAMMATION
- Tissue damage
- Cellular – vascular response
- Metabolic changes (external manifestation)
- Tissue repair
in acute inflammation, what are the cellular infiltrate
neutrophils
in chronic inflammation, what are the cellular infiltrate
Monocytes/macrophages
and lymphocytes
ACUTE
Tissue injury,
fibrosis
Usually
mild &
self-limited
CHRONIC
Tissue
injury,
fibrosis
Often severe and
progressive
ACUTE
Local &
systemic
signs
Prominent
CHRONIC
Local &
systemic
signs
Less prominent;
may be subtle
ACUTE INFLAMMATION
It is characterized by
o Exudation of fluids and plasma proteins (edema fluid)
o Emigration of neutrophilic leukocytes to the site of
injury
a type of inflammation that is An immediate and early response to an injurious agent
ACUTE INFLAMMATION
the cardinal sign is also called as
the external manifestation of acute inflammation
cardinal sign
Due to dilation of small blood vessels within
damaged tissue (cellulitis)
REDNESS
(RUBOR)
cardinal sign
Results from increased blood flow (hyperemia)
due to regional vascular dilation
HEAT (CALOR)
cardinal sign
Due to the accumulation of fluid in the
extravascular space.
SWELLING
(TUMOR)
CARDINAL SIGNs
Results from the stretching & destruction of
tissues due to inflammatory edema
PAIN (DOLOR)
CARDINAL SIGNS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
inflamed area is inhibited by pain
Severe swelling may physically immobilize the
tissue
LOSS OF
FUNCTION
Chemicals of acute inflammation (mediators)
Bradykinins
Prostaglandins
Serotonin
Chemicals of acute inflammation (mediators)
function of bradykinins
contribute for blood vessel dilation
Chemicals of acute inflammation (mediators)
function of prostaglandin
vascular and systemic reaction
Chemicals of acute inflammation (mediators)
function of serotonin
happy hormones
EVENTS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION
VASCULAR CHANGES
CELLULAR EVENTS
VASCULAR CHANGES in acute inflammation
- Increase in blood flow (vasodilation)
- To bring cells and proteins to
the site of injury - By vasodilation and increased
vascular permeability
(vascular leakage) by the
chemical mediators especially
histamine
CELLULAR EVENTS of acute inflammation
- Recruitment of leukocytes
- Activation of leukocytes
leading to the process
of destruction of
invaders and production
of mediators
Stages of Vascular response
(1) Vascular dilation and
increased blood flow
(2) extravasation and deposition
of plasma fluid and proteins
(edema)
(3) leukocyte (mainly
neutrophil) emigration and
accumulation in the site of injury.
the vascular dilation and increased blood flow will cause
causing erythema and
warmth
Mechanism of Vascular response
Vasoconstriction
vasodilation of arterioles and venules
stasis of blood flow
oozes protein-rich fluid into
extravascular tissues.
exudates clinically appears as
swelling. (edema)
Stages of Margination
Rolling
Pavementing
is a peripheral positioning of white cells along the endothelial
cells.
Margination
rows of leukocytes tumble slowly along the
endothelium
Rolling
endothelium can be lined by white cells the binding of leukocytes with endothelial cells is facilitated by cell
adhesion molecules
Pavementing
Transmigration of
leukocytes through the process of
Diapedesis
The movement of leukocytes
by extending pseudopodia
through the vascular wall.
Diapedesis
Stages of cellular
response
Margination
Transmigration
chemotaxis
phagocytosis
- unidirectional attraction of leukocytes from vascular channels
towards the site of inflammation within the tissue space
guided by chemical gradients.
Chemotaxis
The important chemotactic factors for neutrophils
(C5a)
* leukotriene B4
*cytokines (IL-8)
(C5a) is composed of
complement system, bacteria and mitochondrial products of
arachidonic acid metabolism:
is the process of engulfment and
internalization by specialized cells of particulate material.
Phagocytosis
Phagocytic cells
- polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophiles),
*monocytes - tissue macrophages.
Leukocyte recruitment is a multi-step process consistin
§ loose attachment to and rolling on endothelium (mediated by selectins);
§ firm attachment to endothelium (mediated by integrins)
§ migration through interendothelial spaces
Steps of the inflammatory response (5Rs)
- Recognition of the injurious agent - etiology of the inflammation
- Recruitment of leukocytes
- Removal of the agent
- Regulation (control) of the response
- Resolution (repair
