Nonsteroidal Anti- inflammatory Drugs Flashcards
physiological response to tissue injury and infection
inflammation
T/F: Inflammation is synonymous to infection
False
may pertain to pain (dolor), heat (calor), redness (rubor), and swelling (tumor)
inflammation
Immediate response of inflammation
- vascular diameter (vasodilation)
- vascular permeability
increases blood flow to the area of injury, resulting in the heating and reddening of the tissue
vascular diameter (vasodilation)
allows leakage of fluid from the BV into the damaged tissue, resulting in swelling (edema)
vascular permeability
after a few hours, leukocytes arrive at the site of injury to phagocytize the invading pathogens and release soluble mediators, particularly ____________________, ______________________, ______________________
cytokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes
types of inflammation
- acute
- chronic
inflammation caused by response to tissue injury
acute
inflammation that can lead to progressive tissue destruction (seen in autoimmunity and certain cancers)
chronic
T/F: NSAIDs are particularly used for chronic inflammation
True
six phase leukocyte inflammatory response
P0: ligand-membrane receptor interaction (other stimuli)
P1: mobilization of cell Ca2+
P2: degranulation (release of mediators)
P3: activation of phospholipase
P4: oxidative burst
P5: transcription and translation
initial response to inflammation which causes an increase in Ca2+
mobilization of cell Ca2+
stored mediators
histamine, various proteases, chemoattractants
increased availability of arachidonic acid due to its activation
activation of phospholipase
activation of phospholipase leads to
- eicosanoid synthesis
- synthesis of platelet activating factor (PAF)
ROS prodduction
oxidative burst
production and release of cytokines
transcription and translation
T/F: Non-protein-based soluble factors (eicosanoids, bioamines) dominate the landscape during chronic inflammation
False: acute inflammation
a peptide that induces vasodilation and enhanced vascular permeability, produced by the kinin system
bradykinin
fibrin strands form clots, limiting the spread of infection into the blood
clotting systems
following tissue damage, different plasma proteins are activated including the clotting and kinin systems
acute inflammatory response
results from continuous exposure to the offending element
chronic inflammation
accumulation & activation of macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts is the hallmark of what type of inflammation
chronic inflammation
[chronic inflammation]
due to ______________________, autoimmune diseases in which self-antigens continuously activate T cells and cancers
pathogen persistence
goals of inflammation tx in px
- relief of symptoms
- maintenance of function, slowing or arrest of tissue-damaging processes
provides relief of symptoms
NSAIDs
maintenance of function, slowing or arrest of tissue-damaging processes
DMARDs
inhibit phospholipids, thereby inhibiting arachidonic acid synthesis
corticosteroids
T/F: inhibition of arachidonic acid would lead to the inhibition of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase
True
inhibits COX
NSAID, ASA
inhibit lipoxygenase
lipoxygenase inhibitors
inhibit leukotrienes
receptor antagonists
inhibit inflammation caused by leukotrienes
colchicine
COX synthesizes
prostaglandins, thromboxane, prostacyclin
T/F: leukocyte modulation caused by thromboxane would relieve inflammation
False: lead to inflammation
other name for arachidonic acid (AA)
5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid
most abundant eicosanoid precursor
AA (5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid)
