Lecture 66 - Chronic Inflammation Flashcards
chronic inflammation is defined as
more than 3-5 days
what 4 things can happen when acute inflammation fails
- progression to chronic inflammation
- fibrosis
- increased cellularity
- abscess formation
what 3 factors influence the outcome of failed acute inflammation
- severity of tissue damage
- the ability of cells to regenerate
- biologic characteristics that caused injury
chronic inflammation occurs because
- acute inflammation fails
- recurrent/extensive acute inflammation/injury
- unique biochemical characteristics of the stimulus
what are the 5 mechanisms to chronic inflammation
- persistence/resistance to phagocytosis
- immune cells cannot reach agent
- inability to kill via phagocytosis or enzymes
- genetic dysfunction of immune
- unknown
pathogenic example of:
persistence/resistance to phagocytosis
mycobacterium
pathogenic example of:
immune cells cannot reach agent
staphylococcus
pathogenic example of:
inability to kill via phagocytosis or enzymes
plant material
pathogenic example of:
genetic dysfunction of immune response
autoimmunity
pathogenic example of:
unknown chronic inflammation
canine granulomatous meningoencephalitis
what bacteria cause chronic inflammation
mycobacterium or Rhodococcus equi
what viruses cause chronic inflammation
equine herpesvirus and porcine circovirus
what fungi cause chronic inflammation
Aspergillus, Blastomyces, Histoplasma
what protozoa/parasites cause chronic inflammation
habronema and leishmania
what are the processes of inflammation
- cellular infiltration
- fibroplasia
T/F: cellular infiltration and fibroplasia occur independently of one another
FALSE
what cells are part of the innate immune response
- monocyte/macrophage
- NK cell
- eosinophil
- mast cell
- dendritic cell
what non-immune cells play a role in inflammation
- endothelial
- epithelial
- fibroblasts
what are the 2 types of tissue macrophages
- specific organ/tissue (kupffer, alveolar, etc.)
- inflammatory-stimulated
describe the role of monocytes in inflammation
- migrate from blood to interstitium
- rapidly differentiate
- produce inflammatory mediators
- process antigens for presentation
- facilitate angiogenesis
what cytokine stimulates macrophages for inflammation
IFN-y
what cytokine stimulates macrophages for repair
IL-4
describe multinucleated giant cells
- fusion of activated macrophages
- GRANULOMATOUS
describe natural killer cells
- kills cells recognized as foreign
- cytokine secretion
- activate macrophages and dendritic cells
describe dendritic cells
- key APC
- present in many tissues
describe B lymphocytes
- differentiate to plasma cells (antibodies)
- elimination of extracellular microbes
describe helper T lymphocytes
- recognizes MHC II
- different types activate certain immune responses
describe T regulatory cells
- immunosuppression
- prevent uncontrolled inflammation
describe cytotoxic T-cells
- recognizes MHC I
- kills cells infected with intracellular pathogens
describe the 3 components of fibrosis
- proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells
- deposition of collagen
- reduced collage degradation
pattern of pyogranulomatous inflammation
neutrophils and macrophages
+/- multinucleated giant cells
pattern of granulomatous inflammation
macrophages
+/- multinucleated giant cells, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and plasma cells
pattern of eosinophilic inflammation
eosinophils
+/- fibrosis and macrophages
pattern of lymphoplasmacytic inflammation
lymphocytes and plasma cells
pattern of abscess inflammation
neutrophils and outer fibrotic wall
what are the two types of granulomatous inflammation
- diffuse/lepromatous
- nodular/tuberculoid granuloma
the development of granulomatous inflammation requires
- inciting agent
- host immune response
- interplay of cytokines, chemokines, and inflammatory modulators
diffuse granulomatous inflammation
- poor demarcation
- widespread distribution
- heavy intracellular burden
what causes granulomatous inflammation
mycobacterium
nodular granulomatous inflammation
- well-demarcated
- multifocal
- central caseation
what causes pyogranulomatous inflammation
Rhodococcus equi and Blastomyces dermatitidis
T/F: myeloperoxidase will turn pus green
TRUE
what causes abscesses
staphylococcus and streptococcus
