Patho Week 2 Flashcards
3 places at which the deposition of amyloid happen
1- wall of blood vessels
2- reticulin fibers
3- basement membrane
2 methods of detecting of fresh tissue and 5 of histological section
1- Dark brown with lugol iodine
2- blue with iodine + 1% sulphoric acid
1- H&E : pale red homogeneous material
2- congo red : orange red with green birefringence when observed under polarized light microscopy
3- methyl violet ( metachromatic ) stain rose red
4- immunohistochemistry
5- EM
Dioagnosis in systemic form of amyloidosis can be established with biopsy of 3 places
1- rectal mucosa
2- gingiva
3- abdominal fat pad
How do amyloid proteins injury the tissues (4)
1- pressure causes atrophy
2- accumulation in blood vessels cause ischemia and increase permeability
3- cause direct cytotoxicity e.g light chain protein is toxic to cardiac cells
4- perifibrillar oligomers -> are found to be more injurious than actual fibrils as in Alzheimer disease
3 examples of localised amyloidosis
1- laryngal nodules
2- in brain in case of Alzehimer
3- in neoplasm : stroma in many endocrine glands e.g : medullary carcinoma of thyroid gland
Primary amyloidosis 6 elements
1- rare
2- occur in old people
3- in plasma cell disorder ( multiple myeloma)
4- diagnosed by serum and urinary electrophoresis
5- death may occur due to cardiac and renal failure
6- in heart , tongue, GIt , skeletal muscle
5 Secondary ( reactive systemic amyloidosis)
In AA disease
1- rheumatoid arthritis
2- chronic suppurative inflammation ( bronchectasis, chronic osteomyelitis)
3- infective granuloma ( TB, leprosy , syphilis)
4- inflammatory bowel disease
5- malignant tumor ( Hodgkin disease)
3 other types of amyloidosis
1- heredofamilial amyloidosis ( familial Mediterranean fever)
2- amyloidosis of old age ( senile amyloidosis for over 70 years and may cause heart failure
3- haemodialysis associated amyloidosis ( B2 micro globulin)
Renal amyloidosis . Amyloid are deposited where (3) and what does that cause
1- wall of arterioles and venules : thick wall and narrow lumen , fatty change of tubules and tubular atrophy, hypertension, renal failure
2- BM of glomerular capillaries: hypoproteinemia and edema ( nephrotic syndrome)
3- BM of collecting tubules : diabetus insipidus
3 places of deposition of amyloid in liver
1- wall of hepatic arterieoles -> thick wall and narrow lumen
2- wall of sinusoids ( space of disse) -> pressure atrophy on adjacent hepatocyte
3- total replacement of large area of liver cells by amyloid material
2 types of amyloidosis in spleen
1- focal ( sago spleen )
Deposition in wall of central arterioles , spleen is moderately enlarged
2- diffuse
Deposition in red pulp and wall of sinusoids
Spleen is markedly enlarged
Where is the deposition of amyloid in adrenal gland and what happen if bilateral affection
1- in cortex
2- addison disease
2 examples of amyloidosis in GIT and 4 clinicals
1- tongue -> macroglossia
2- intestine -> mucosal atrophy
Malabsorption, intestinal obstruction, haemorrhage, diarrhea
2 clinical of cardiac amyloidosis
1- arrhythmia
2- heart failure
5 cellular hyalinosis
1- Islet cells of pancreas in DM
2- corpora amylacea in senile hyperplasia in prostate
3- plasma cell in chronic inflammation eg Rhinoscleroma ( Russel bodies)
4- zenker degeneration( hyalinosis in voluntary muscle diseases)
5- Liver cells in Alcoholic cirrhosis ( Mallory hyaline bodies )
Connective tissues hyalinosis
1-Wall of blood vessels (5)
1- Atherosclerosis
2- Benign hypertension
3- glomeruli of kidney in chronic diffuse glomerulonephritis
4- central arterioles in spleenic lymphoid follicles in old age
5- ovary in female ( corpus albicans)
2- old scars and keloid
3- mesodermal tumor ( leiomyoma)
