Lecture 15: Inflammation, Exudates Flashcards
what 4 mediators are responsible for vasodilation during signs of inflammation
- Vasoactive amines,
- NO- nitric oxide
- PG- prostaglandin
- PAF- platelet activating factor
what 7 mediators are responsible for increased vascular permeability during signs of inflammation
- Vasoactive amines
- bradykinin
- LT
- PAF
- Substance P
- C5a
- C3a
what 6 mediators are responsible for chemotaxis during signs of inflammation
- LTB4
- LPS
- chemokines
- IL-1
- IL-4
- IL-8
what 2 mediators are responsible for pain during signs of inflammation
- PG- prostaglandin
- Bradykinin
what 3 mediators are responsible for tissue damage during signs of inflammation
- Lysosomal enzymes,
- NO- nitric oxide
- ROS- reactive oxygen species
what 4 mediators are responsible for fever during signs of inflammation
- IL-1
- IL-6
- TNF- tumor necrosis factor
- PG- prostaglandin
What are the 8 types of acute inflammation exudates
- Serous
- Fibrinous
- Fibrinonecrotic
- Mucoid or Catarrhal
- Purulent or Suppurative
- Eosinophilic
- Hemorrhagic
- Necrotizing
What are the 5 types of chronic inflammation exudates
- Lymphocytic / Plasmacytic
- Granulomatous
- Pyogranulomatous
- Fibrosing
- Proliferative
- Serous exudates occur when?
- What type of edema is this called
- Will this happen in an acute or chronic change
- Increased vascular permeability
- protein and fluid leakage into a body cavity or joint
- Called “inflammatory edema”
- Acute early change
Would serous exudate be clear or cloudy
mostly clear with some cloudyness
What type of exudate is this
- What is 1 pointing out
- 2?
- serous exudate
- cloudiness fluid but still can see through
- material on serosal surfaces of abdominal organs
What type of exudate
- serous
- Can see through but not extensively
What is the next step after serous exudate (a type of exudate)
fibrinous exudate
What is the purpose for fibrinous exudates
- Early framework can help in phagocytosis
- Decreased microbial spread via lymphatic
- Scaffold for granulation tissue
explain how fibrinous exudate forms
- Endothelial injury
- fibrinogen exits capillary
- fibrin is formed and polymerizes into a fibrin polymer
- the fibrin polymers are what you can visualize as fibrinous exudate
- is fibrin acute or chronic
- seeing fibrinous exudate what does this imply
- Fibrin is usually acute but can be an ongoing problem (thus chronic)
- Implies a continual need for an inflammatory response, at that site
would you see a lot of cellular infiltrate in a fibrinous exudate
not much
- give a morphologic diagnosis
- What are arrows pointing to?
- serofibrinous peritonitis, acute diffuse
- this is mostly serous but arrows are pointing to fibrin (stringy material)
- What organ?
- what type of exudate
- if you touch it what will happen to exudate?
- Liver
- fibrinous exudate
- If you were to pick up the edge of the material, it would break apart easily
give a MDx
- Fibrous pleuritis, acute, locally extensive to diffuse
- White, friable, shaggy, chalky
- If you could touch it, it would peel off easily
