Shit list Flashcards
Karyorrhexis
DNA laddering, endonucleases cleave every 180bp in internucleosomal regions. Indicates apoptosis 222
Apaf-1
Induces apoptosis; inhibited by Bcl-2 [overexpression of Bcl-2 prevents apoptosis = follicular lymphoma (t;14:18)222
CD95
= Fas-R (on T-cells for negative selection)222
Liquefactive necrosis
Lysosomal enzymes; brain, abscess, pancreas.223
Casceous
Coagulative + liquefactive223
Fat necrosis
Lipase; fat cells lose nucleus 223
Fibrinoid necrosis
Immune (vasculitis), malignant HTN, pre-exlampsia 223
Cells of acute inflammation
Neurophils, eosinophils, antibodies Outcome = recover, abscess, chronic inflammation 225
Cells of chronic inflammation
Mononuclear (macrophages and lymphocytes), fibroblasts. Associated with BV formation, fibrosis, granulomas. Outcome = scarring or amyloidosis225
Granulomas
Th1 –> IFN-g –> Macro –> TNF-a –> form and maintain granuloma 230
Dystrophic calcification
Abscess, fat necrosis, infarcts, thrombi, schistosomiasis, Monkenberg, congenital CMV and toxo (TORCH - cerebral calcifications), psammoma bodies. In abnormal (diseased) tissues226
Metastatic calcification
MC in kidney, lung, and gastric mucosa; because increase pH. In normal (healthy) tissues226
Leukocyte extravasation
227

Wound healing mediators
TGF-a - Epithelial and fibroblast GF; induce and maintain granulomas229
Causes of Granulomas
230
ESR
Increased: Pregnancy Decreased: HF and hypofibrinogenemia 230
Dialysis-related amyloidosis
B2 microglobulin; can present as carpal tunnel 231
Amyloidosis
AA = any inflammatory diseases (also FMF) Organ-spec: also meduallry CA thyroid cia calcitonin; AP via prolactin; Atria via ANP231
Desmoplasia
Fibrous233
K:L
3:1233
Hamartoma
Disorganized tissue in correct place234
Choristoma
Normal tissue in foreign place234
SM tumours
Benign = leiomyoma Malignant = leiomyosarcoma 234
Cachexia
IL-1, IL-6, TNF-a, IFN-g234
