Step 2: Primary Hemostatic Plug
Platelets adhere to vWF to form primary HP. Platelets do shape change, release granules (ADP, TXA2) into cytoplasm to recruit more platelets to the site.
Step 3: secondary Hemostatic Plug
Aggregate of platelets, coagulation cascade activated and TF released. Exposure of negatively-charged matrix (intrinsic). Polymerize fibrin.
Step 4: Thrombus Formation and Clot Lysis

Thrombin
36kD enzyme from cleaving Prothrombin; multiple binding site Na+ determines if inactive (binds to anticoagulant Protein C) or active
Thrombin function
Make fibrin from fibrinogen. Some vasoconstriction. Activate fV, VII, VIII, XI to generate more fibrin. Also fXIII to stabilize clot. Recruit and activate platelets, increases neutrophil adhesion.

Cell-Based Model centered on TF-bearing cells and platelets
Initiated by circulating fVIIa binds TF on surface cell to make Xa, IXa, and Thrombin. Thrombin amplifies by activating platelets, cleaving vWF-fVIII complex to make Va, VIIIa, XIa; Propagation by activated coagulation factors aggregating on activated platelets; produce lots of Xa; Xa and Va produce thrombin; Xa inhibited when separated from platelet surface complex

Formed Thrombus & Antithrombotic Effects, deals with:
ATII, Protein C, Plasmin, FDPs, TFPI
Antithrombin (ATIII)
80% of plasma anticoagulant activity; major inhibitor of Thrombin (IIa) & Xa, also IXa, XIa, and XIIa; active on endothelial surfaces; irreversibly binds to Thrombin; catalyzed by heparin 2000x; lost in glomerular disease; Heparin-Thrombin CANNOT inhibit Fibrin-Bound Thrombin!
Protein C
Major inhibitor of Va & VIIIa (negative feedback to Thrombin); Vitamin K dependent; activated by Thrombomodulin (IIa) with Protein S
Plasmin
2 functions: fibrinolysis, inhibition of fibrin polymerization; activates Kinin & Complement pathways; activated by Plasminogen activators (tPA, uPa)
Types of Plasminogen activators

Factors associated with thrombosis
Pulmonary thrombosis/thromboembolism, hypoxemia (V/Q mismatch), atelectasis, edema, CV compromise
Infarction
Regional ischemic necrosis of tissue, secondary to thrombosis
Susceptibility of infarction depends on (3)
metabolic demands of tissue, vascular supply, cardiac output
Red vs. white infarction
Red: venous occlusion, spongy, collateral circulation, reestablished blood flow to a previously-occluded organ; vs. White: arterial, solid organs, all drained out, end-arterial circulation of spleen, heart, kidney
Ischemic injury: less ATP with ischemia leads to...
Loss of Na+ pump, swelling, increased anaerobic glycolysis, lactic acid buildup & acidification, detachment of ribosomes, reduces protein synthesis, lipid deposits
Reperfusion injury
Restoring blood flow, more O2, ROS. Ischemia's loss of ATP leads to HX. HX with Ca2+ causes XO. mito damage. Once circulation is restored, HX gets converted into uric acid. Also makes ROS. damage to cell. Also loss of defense mechanisms, inflammation can increase cytokine production for more free radicals, complement system activation due to deposited IgM.

2. tissue osmotic pressure (10)
3. tissue hydrostatic pressure (-8)
4. plasma osmotic pressure (-25)
Plasma hydrostatic pressure, i.e. BP
Pushes fluid out of tissue on arteriolar side, pushes it into tissue on venous side.
Tissue osmotic pressure
Pushes fluid out, glycoproteins suck water, move fluid from intravascular to extravascular space
Tissue hydrostatic pressure
Draws fluid INTO vessels
Plasma oncotic pressure
Albumin draws fluid INTO vessels
Causes of edema! (4)
1. Increased vascular permeability
2. Lymphatic obstruction
3. Increased plasma hydrostatic pressure
4. Decreased plasma oncotic presure
Increased vascular permeability
Acute inflammation, fluid leaks out, not as much reabsorbed at venular end due to mild tissue damage, severe tissue damage, perivascular fluid overwhelms capacity of regional lymphatics, edema
Lymphatic obstruction
Excess fluid into vessels, most commonly surgical; transection of lymphatic vessels; edema
Increased plasma hydrostatic pressure
Due to venous obstruction, thrombus, heart failure - more fluid OUT of vessels, less reabsorbed on venous end
Decreased plasma oncotic pressure
Less fluid INTO vessels, renal los, decreased synthesis (chronic liver disease), more fluid leaving arteriolar side, less reabsorbed venular end, lymphatics overwhelmed; edema
Mast cell in acute inflammation
Histamine, Heparin, Proteases; Fc-gamma receptors for IgE and C5a; degranulation; anaphylaxis
Macrophages/Monocytes/DCs
In tissues everywhere, surface Fc & C3b receptors for phagocytosing opsonized bacteria; have pathogen recognition receptors (TCRs, mannose receptor, NOD, etc); most important in acute inflammation is pro-inflammatory IL1 & TNF-alpha = Type II endothelial actiation
Neutrophils - first line of defense
Acute tissue damage, eliminate invading bacteria; myeloperoxidase; primary granules; oxygen-dep or indep (both macrophages and neutrophils)
O2 radical system
Of neutrophils and macrophages
Myeloperoxidase-halide system

Vasoactive amine Histamine
Type I endothelial activation, vasodilation, H1R = NO, H2R = relax smooth muscle; increased vascular permeability (PAF), adhesion molecules
Vasoactive amine Serotonin
Type I endothelial activation, vasodilation via SM relaxation, increased vascular permeability, adhesion molecule
Vasoactive amine NO
eNOS: at rest vasodilation and reduced leukocyte adhesion to endothelium
iNOS: macrophages make excess NO, to peroxy-nitrite
Plasma proteases complement system mediators
C3a, C3b, C5a
C3a
activate mast cells for His release, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, weak leukocyte chemotaxis, adhesion, LT production
C5a
activate mast cells for His release, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, leukocyte chemotaxis, LT production
C3b

PGH2 into either PGI2 (vasodilation, block platelet agg) or TXA2 (vasoconstrictor, platelet agg)
Specific COX2 inhibitor only blocks it (NSAIDs block both), best choice to knock down enzyme without inflammation, without producing PGs (less ulcers, cytokines, renal damage)
5-LO takes AA to make 5-HPETE (chemotaxis)
HPETE can make LTs that are important in asthma; LTB4 only glycosanoid that is chemotactic and activates neutrophils

IL-1 & TNF-alpha
Made by Macrophages; Endothelial activation and fever
Chemokines
made by many cells; chemotactic to leukocytes, activate htem
NO
Made by macrophages and endothelium; Vasodilation and cytotoxicity
Endocytic pattern recognition receptors
Innate immune response cells; macrophage mannose receptor and scavenger receptor
TLR4
Expressed on cell surface of extracellular bacteria, from LPS from gram negative cell walls, viral glycoproteins, also in plasma membrane of endosomes (intracellular pathogen), TLR4 & CD14
NOD family
intracellular recognition of peptidoglycan muramyl peptide leading to cell activation and cytokine production
RNA helicase
Cytosolic proteins; intracellular recognition ds viral RNA; leading to cell activation and cytokine production
MBL
Made by liver, binds to mannose residues on bacteria
Surfactant proteins A & D
clear organisms by alveolar macrophages, clear naked DNA/RNA, mice w/o = SLE
Adjuvants
Bacteria from it stimulate macrophages to deliver co-stimulatory signal to T cells recognizing non-bacterial antigen; proliferate T cells specific for non-bacterial protein
Leukocyte Trafficking
1. Capture
2. Rolling
3. Slow Rolling
4. Arrest
5. Adhesion, Strengthen, Spreading
6. Intravascular crawling
7. Transcellular Migration
8. Paracellular Migration
1 & 2 - Capture and Rolling
Selectins, bind to PSGL1
3 - Slow Rolling
Integrins (Beta-2 integrins most important, bind with ICAM-1 and ICAM-2; intermediate)
4 - Arrest
Chemokines; stimulate cell activation and promote firm adhesion of leukocytes at inflammation sites
5 - Adhesion, Strengthening, Spreading
Integrin clustering & signaling (high affinity LFA-1 molecules)
6 - Intravascular Crawling
Chemokine gradient; signals through ICAM-1 promote further endothelial activation
8 - Paracellular Migration
5min; between adjacent endothelial cells; molecular zipper of adhesion molecules
7 - Transcellular Migration
20%; <1min; common for TJs and CNS; caveolae
PGI2 & NO endothelial function in health - quiescent tissue
PGI2: induced by COX-1 expression; NO to relax vascular smooth muscle, prevent platelet & leukocyte adhesion
Mild tissue damage: Type I endothelial activation
His, rapid, short-lived, No protein synthesis, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability; NO, PGI2, IL-8
Severe tissue damage: Type II endothelial activation
Slower, protein synthesis, longer-lasting, TNF-alpha and IL-1, endothelial activation, Bradykinin, FDPs, C3a and C5a, PGI2, serotonin, TXA2, less NO, balance of PGI2 and TXA2
Multiple places to BLOCK leukocyte homing with specific drugs
Block selections, chemokine receptors, integrins
