A

Lipoxins

IL-10

32
Q

Pro-inflammatory mediators are ___ in end of acute inflammation

A

Inactivated

33
Q

Anti-inflammatory mediates are ___ with end of acute inflammation

34
Q

Stimuli for acute inflammation

A 
Infection
Trauma
Ischemia
Necrosis
Hypersensitivity reactions
35
Q

Major components of acute inflammation

A

Vascular changes

Leukocyte recruitment and activation

36
Q

Vascular changes

A

Altered caliber and permeability

  1. Vasoconstriction
  2. Vasodilation
  3. Increased vessel permeability
37
Q

Margination

A

WBCs collect along vascular wall

38
Q

3 mechanisms of vascular changes

A
  1. Endothelial contraction
  2. Endothelial necrosis
  3. Angiogenesis
39
Q

Endothelial contraction

A

Gaps in postcapillary venules due to histamine

40
Q

Histamine causes vessel wall permeability due to

A

Endothelial contraction

41
Q

Angiogenesis

A

New vessels have immature endothelial cells, resulting in leakiness

42
Q

Exudate edema

A

Protein rich

Inflammatory edema

43
Q

Transudate edema

A

Protein poor

Cause pitting edema

44
Q

Edema develops when

A

Lymphatic drainage can’t keep up

45
Q

Lymphadenopathy

A

MC

General disorder of lymph nodes

46
Q

Lymphadenitis

A

Inflamed nods, increases sizes and pain

47
Q

Lymphangitis

A

Inflamed lymphatic channel

48
Q

Steps for WBC Recruitment

A
  1. Margination and Rolling
  2. Firm adhesion
  3. Transmigration (Diapedesis)
  4. Chemotaxis
49
Q

Margination and rolling is mediated by

50
Q

Firm adhesion is mediated by

51
Q

WBC migrate via

A

Pseudopodia stimulated by bacteria, cytokines, complement

52
Q

Leukocyte activation stimulated by

A

Microbes, necrotic tissue, foreign bodies

53
Q

Opsonization

A

Tag a cell for destruction via antibodies (IgG) and complement proteins

54
Q

Opsonization enhances

A

Macrophages binding and breakdown

55
Q

Once activated, WBC are

A

Indiscriminate

56
Q

Activated WBC can cause inadvertent

A

Damage to normal cells

Secondary tissue injury

57
Q

WBC- induced tissue injury can be caused by

A

Persistent infections (TB, HIV, VZV)

Ischemia-reperfusion injury

Hypersensitivity reactions

58
Q

Outcomes of acute inflammation

A

Resolution
Chronic inflammation
Scarring (fibrosis)

59
Q

Resolution

A

Regeneration and repair

Returns to normal function

60
Q

Chronic inflammation

A

Severe injury or little capacity for replication

Failure to remove offending agent

Frequent scarring

61
Q

Scarring / Fibrosis

A

Severe injury

Alters structure= loss of function

62
Q

6 Patterns of Inflammation

A
  1. Serous
  2. Fibrinous
  3. Suppurative (purulent)
  4. Ulcerative
  5. Pseudomembranous
  6. Granulomatous
63
Q

Serous inflammation

A

Serum accumulates within or below epidermis

Cause blister

Due to burns, viral infections, autoimmunity

64
Q

Fibrinous inflammation

A

Severe injury = increase vessel permeability= large molecules out of circulation

Fibrinous-rich exudate

Severe fibrosis

65
Q

Suppurative

A

Local infection with pus-forming organism (staph, aureus)

66
Q

Pus

A

Neutrophils
Necrotic cells
Edema

67
Q

Abscess

A

Walled off collection of pus accumulation

68
Q

Ulcerative inflammation

A

Superficial area of tissue necrosis

Ex. Peptic ulcers, aphthous ulcer

69
