Principles of Inflammation 2 Flashcards
what can apmplify a reaction?
mediators
what induces cell necrosis?
C5 - 9 MAC (membrane attack complex)
what effects are > than C3a
C5a, chemotactic for polys
Hageman factor
triggers kinin system cascade
plasmin
activates hageman factor, cleaves c3 + c5
what increases vascular permeability
when fibrin split products
fibrin is formed –>
vascular occlusion which may lead to ischemia
IL-6 fever
^ CRP production by liver
Endothelial damage
during wbc adhesion to endothelium
anti-oxidants
superoxide dismutase
catalase
sources of free radical
radition
phagocytosis, inflammation
mitochondria
free radicals especially bind to
thymine –> DNA breaks
free radicals on protein cross-linking
leads to enhanced degradation
managment system to deal with free raidcals
SOD converts
O2 ->H2O2 + O2
what can purines bind to?
receptors of platelets for activation and aggregation
what can be released from polys?
purines ATP and ADP
what reverses inflammtion? (5)
chalones hemostasis reducing swelling (lymphatics drain edema fluid from site) mediators anti-oxidants
eNO reduces?
rollng + adhesion
Lipoxins (reverse of inflammation)
part of lipo-oxygenase pathway
what stops IL-1 production
pyrin (marenostrin)
