Inflammation can be harmful in the sense that it _____.
prevents or limits disease
can cause cell injury/disease
other names for white blood cells
inflammatory cells
leukocytes
immune cells
Name the 4 different types of leukocytes
Neutrophils (PMN)
Macrophages
Lymphocytes
Mast Cells
Many-shaped nucleus...most common type of white blood cell
Neutrophils
Round dark nucleus; found in lymph, blood, and other cells
lymphocyte
Lots of blue granules in cytoplasm
mast cells
typical onset & resolution time for acute inflammation
onset: minutes to hours
resolution: hours to days
Acute inflammation etiologies
infectious agents
physical agents
necrosis
(immune)

Redness pain heat swelling
Body's response in acute inflammation
acute inflammation
Outcomes of acute inflammation
Resolves to normal
Abcess
Chronic Inflammation
Repair
_____ is what acute inflammation is best designed to deal with
Bacteria
What phase includes the etiology and the pathologic response? What phase includes the S/S and the outcomes?
Vascular Phase
Cellular Phase
Phase 2
Chemical mediators that promote vasodilation

S/S that result
histamines, prostaglandins, bradykinin

Redness & Heat
Phase 3
Chemical mediators that promote an increase in permeability

S/S that result
Histamines, Leukotrienes, & Bradykinin

Edema/Pain
Plasma (water & proteins) seeping out of the blood vessels during phase 3... a process called
Transuation
Chemical mediators that promote the migration of PMNs from the blood vessel.

This process is called
Leukotrienes

chemotaxis
Lots of PMNs together
purulent exudate/pus
Phase 5:
There is now plasma & PMNs outside the blood vessel, but we also need more macrophages. Name the 2 methods
Macrophages go through mitosis
Macrophages summon more macrophages via chemotaxis
Name the 2 phagocytic cells
Macrophages & PMNs
Besides phagocytic cells, what's the other way to deal with etiologies in acute inflammation?

Resulting S/S
PMNs releasing lytic enzymes.

Collateral damage to surrounding area (pain)
Final step in acute inflammation
Macrophages cleaning up all the dead cells
Backup plan for acute inflammation
chronic inflammation
Purpose of plasma coming out of the blood vessel
fibrim is one of the blood proteins released. Macrophages & PMNs cling to this
Chemical mediators are synthesized...
in a variety of cells (leukocytes, blood vessels, liver, etc.)
Some chemical mediators act locally (examples include...)
Some chemical mediators act systemically (examples include...)
redness, pain, heat, swelling
fever, lethargy, loss of appetite
Histamines: Function & Medication
vasodilation; inc. permeability

antihistamines
Bradykinin: Function & Medication
Pain; vasodilation; inc. permeability

Anti-Histamines
The cyclooxygenase pathway creates
Prostglandins
Another name for chemical mediators
cytokines
Prostaglandins function & medication
Pain, fever, vasodilation

Glucocorticoids
Leukotrienes Function & Medication
Increase in permeability; chemotaxis

Glucocorticoids
Reactive Oxygen Species funciton
Kills microbes, damages neighborhood
Interleukin 1 (IL 1)
TNF

These are involved in _____. Functions include...
Chronic Inflammation
Fever, lethargy, loss of appetite
Another name for glucocortacoids
corticosteroid
3 Main medications used to treat chemical mediators
NSAIDS
Glucocorticoids
Antihistamines
The chemical mediators cause the _____, which make the patient _____. Therefore, medicines are aimed at _____ of the chemical signals
S/S
uncomfortable
decreasing production
COX = _____
cyclooxygenase enzyme
Cyclooxygenase Metabolic Pathway 1 for Prostaglandin (PG) synthesis
Precursor PG in healthy cells

COX1

Beneficial PGs (some of which help protect the stomach lining)
Cyclooxygenase Metabolic Pathway for Prostaglandin (PG) synthesis 2
Precursor PG in injured and inflammatory cells

COX 2

Inflammatory PGs
(Causes pain, fever, vasodilation)
NSAIDS stands for
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
4 Effects of NSAIDS
Anti-Inflammatory
Anti-pyretic (anti-fever)
Analgesia (anti-pain)
Anti-coagulation (decreases clotting)
NSAIDS drugs do not include
tylanol
Non-selective Cox inhibitors
These are _____ drugs.
Aspirin
Ibuprofen
Indomethacin
Naproxen

NSAIDS
Bextra & Vioxx (selective COS-2) inhibitors) were taken off the market due to _____
thrombosis
Selective COX-2 Inhibitors

These are _____
Celebrex

NSAIDS
NSAIDS can also inhibit the production of _____ by inhibiting _____. (_____ are the other PG inhibitor)
Prostaglandins
COX (the enzymes)
Glucocorticoids
Nonselective COX inhibitors inhibit _____. Thus, you don't get _____. You should take these NSAIDS with _____. Chronic usage probably results in ______ unless you take antiacids
both COX-1 & COX-2.

Side effect of both the selective and non-selective COX inhibitor
Slows bone healing
Side effects of non-selective COX inhibitors
