Q

What is the vascular phase of inflammation and how long does it last

A

Lasts 15 mins to several hours. Up to 10 fold increase in blood flow increases the hydrostatic pressure and causes a transudate (low protein). Plasma protein leaks into the tissues due to the decreased intravascular oncotic pressure.

Q

Inflammation, exudative phase, what is margination

A

The loss of intravascular fluid due to a breach from injury causes increased plasma viscosity, so flow slows at the injury site allowing neutrophils to flow closer to the epithelium

Q

Inflammation, exudative phase, what is adhesion and what impairs it

A

Neutrophils adhere to the endothelial surface by increased expression of leukocyte adhesion molecule and increased expression of epithelial surface adhesion molecule

Impaired by diabetes, corticosteriod use, acute alcohol intoxication, inherited adhesion deficiencies

Q

What happens at the phagocytosis phase

55
Q

Explain the adaptive immune response: Antigens are presented to…

A

Naïve T lymphocytes which activate to become either cytotoxic CD4 cells or helper CD4 cells.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes undergo rapid clonal expansion and travel in search of the antigen. Cells with the antigen are punctured and lysed by cytotoxins.

56
Q

Activation of the T lymphocyte requires either

A

a strong signal or a prompt from a CD4 helper cell

57
Q

What happens after the infection resolves

A

Some T cells remain to form immune memory, ready to be quickly activated if the same pathogen returns.

58
Q

What do CD4 helper cells do?

A

Manage the immune response and activation leads to the release of assorted cytokines

59
Q

What do B cells do?

A

Create antibodies - Y shaped proteins that identify and neutralise foreign material

60
Q

What are the 5 types of antibodies

A

IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM

61
Q

How are B cells activated

A

Antigen and signals from CD4 cells

62
Q

What do activated B cells do next?

A

Multiply and mature into plasma cells, which last 2-3 days and produce antibodies which bind antigens, opsonise and activate the complement cascade. 10% of plasma cells survive to form antigen specific immune memory cells to fight off repeated further infection.

63
Q

What is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction

A

Allergic - includes atopy, anaphylaxis and asthma. Provoked by re-exposure to a specific antigen. IgE mediated - released from mast cells and basophils

64
Q

What is type 2 hypersensitivity reaction

A

Cytotoxic, antibody dependent reaction where antibodies bind antigens on ‘self’ and mark for destruction.
IgG and IgM mediated of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and haemolytic disease of the newborn

65
Q

What is type 3 hypersensitivity reaction

A

Immune complex disease - small antibody-antigen immune complexes are not cleared by macrophages and are deposited in tissues causing disease. IgG or IgM mediated eg SLE, polyarteritis nodosum

66
Q

What is type 4 hypersentivity reaction

A

Delayed hypersensitivity - eg Type 1 DM, MS.

T cells mediated. T cells targeting specific ‘self’ cells proliferate and destroy on contact.

67
Q

What is Autoimmunity

A

Overactive immune response with a failure to distinguish self and non-self leading to immune attack of body tissues eg Autoimmune hepatitis, Goodpastures, MS, RA

68
Q

What is immunodeficiency

A

One or more components of the immune system are deficient or malfunctioning. It may be inherited or acquired.

69
Q

5 stages of wound healing

A 
Haemostasis
Inflammation
Reconstruction
Epithelialisation
Maturation
70
Q

Haemostasis stage of wound healing

A

Local vascular contraction, platelet plug formation and activation of the clotting cascade

71
Q

Inflammation stage of wound healing

A

Removes bacteria, foreign material and devitalised tissue to prepare the wound for healing. Prolongation of this stage causes increased macrophage activity and poor wound healing.

72
Q

Reconstruction stage of wound healing

A

Fibroblasts synthesise collagen and elastin and contract to bring the wound edges together. Macrophages release growth factor to stimulate new blood vessel formation

73
Q

Epithelialisation stage of wound healing

A

In wounds that are closed epithelial coverage develops in 24-48 hours, impaired by surface debris, eschar or devitalised tissue

74
Q

Maturation stage of wound healing

A

The amount of scar tissue formed depends upon the forces that act across a wound. Strength is gained as collagen matures and further modelling and maturation occurs over 2years.

75
Q

Wound healing specific tissues - skin

A

may need delayed closure.

76
Q

Wound healing specific tissues - tendon

Reconstruction lasts 6 weeks and full strength is never regained, It heals with fibrous scar tissue, Controlled movement while undergoing reconstruction aids healing

77
Q

Axonotmesis
Neurotmesis

78
Q

79
Q

A

Middle severity - neural tube intact but axons disrupted - likely to recover

80
Q

What is Neurotmesis

A

Most severe - neural tube severed. Likely permanent without repair.

81
Q

3 phases of bone repair

A

Reactive
Reparative
Remodelling

82
Q

Reactive stage of bone repair

A

Incorporates haemostatic and inflammatory stages of normal wound healing

83
Q

Reparative stage of bone repair

A

Incorporates reconstruction and epithelialisation. There is callous formation and lamellar bone deposition. Periosteal cells proximal to the fracture and fibroblasts in the granulation tissue develop into chondroblasts and form hyaline cartilage. Periosteal cells distal to the fracture develop into osteoblasts and form woven bone. These tissues grow and unite to forma fracture callus. Osteoblasts then replace the fracture callus with lamellar bone

84
Q

Remodelling phase of bone healing

A

Lamellar bone is replaced with compact bone and is at 80% strength by 3 months. Full healing can take 18 months.

85
Q

Wound healing specific tissues - Myocardial plus complications

A

Injury usually comes from infarction where coronary arteries are blocked causing cell death which is irreparable. Collagen scar formation can lead to arrhythmias or rupture

86
Q

Wound healing specific tissues - brain

A

No reparative or regenerative function but sometimes other areas of the brain can take over function to compensate.
