Inflammation is biological and _ , _

Physical (thermal, ionizing)


Chemical (poisons)


infection, trauma, immunologic, tissue death

Serous (Acute)

Outpouring of watery, relatively protein poor fluid (effusion), derives from either serum or mesothelial cell secretions

4. Can later evolve into Fibrosis, but not yet!


5. Fibrin is Present-leads to scarring/org.

2. Pyogenic Bacteria more likely to cause

Abscesses (Acute)

2. Central Necrotic Region-layer of preserved of neutrophils

Ulceration (Acute)

1. Local Defect, excavation produced by sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue


2. On or Near surface (skin and mucosa)


3. Mouth, GI Tract, GU tract, lower extremeties


4. Loose surface tissue-fibroblastic proliferation/chronic inflammatory cells/scarring

Resolution (Acute)

Complete tissue restoration

Scar Healing (Acute)

1. After substantial tissue destruction


2. in tissues that can't regenerate (lung)



Abscess (Acute)

Infections with pyogenic organisms

Key Events of Acute Inflammation

1. Increase in blood flow


2. enable plasma proteins and leukocytes to leave the circulation


3. Emigration of leukocytes


4. accumulation/activation @ site of injury

Phagocytosis of Organisms

1. Neutrophils-Acute


2. Macrophages- Chronic

Engulfment

Pseudopods surround object forming phagosome that fuses with lysosome creating a phagolysosome

Phagocytosis

1. Neutrophils/Macrophages


2. W/help of C3/Ab to grab bacteria, lysosome will mere to surface and kill bacteria

Oxygen-Dependent

Hypochlorous acid-Our bleach for killing bacteria

Oxygen Indpendent

Leukocyte granule proteins & enzymes

Mediator

1. Originate from plasma (must be activated) or cells (granules or synthesized)


2. Bind to specific receptors


3. Can stimulate Others


4. Short Lived


5. Quickly Decay, inactivated by enzymes, or inhibited


6. Can be harmful!

Histamine & Serotonin (Vasoactive Amines)

1. Arteriolar Dilation


2. Increased Permeability


3. But constricts large arteries

2. Stimulated by trauma, temp, platelet aggregation, C3a, C4a, C5a, neuropeptides (P), cytokines (Il-1 and Il-8)


3. Histamine and IgE

Cytokines and Chemokines

1. Polypeptides-cellular hormones


2. Mediators


3. Networks


4. Strong chemotactic-chemokines

***Additive


Synergist

If one cell can secrete another


If equal ten


depends on tissue

***Key Cytokines of Inflammation

IL-1 and TNF (tumor necrosis factor)


-act synergestically and are produced mainly y macrophages

**Acute Phase Reactions

1. Produce Fever


2. Affect Sleep (incr) and Appetite (decr)


3. Produce acute phase proteins


4. Cause neutrophilia


5. Hemodynamic effects in shock


6. Leukocytosis

**Endothelial Effects

1. Increase leukocyte adherence


2. Stimulate PGI synthesis


3. Increase Procoagulant Activity
