  • Front
  • Back
steatosis
accumulation of fat in hepatocytes
reversible
mallory's hyaline
permanent aggregation of cytokeratin--dense pink rope-like body in cytoplasm of hepatocytes
hemochromatosis
rusty brown color in hepatocytes from iron accumulation
hemosiderosis
abnormal accumulation of iron in tissues due to any cause--can avoid damage with early routine phlebotomy.
Untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma
coagulative necrosis
denaturation of protein dominates picutre
liquefactive necrosis
extensive acute inflammation resulting in failry complete digestion of tissue
gangrenous necrosis
coagulative necrosis and superimposed bacterial infection of necrotic tissue
enzymatic fat necrosis
necrosis of fat by pancreatic lipases
fatty acids released from fat cells combine with calcium resulting in saponification--chalky yellow deposits
caseous necrosis
combo of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis imparting a "cheese-like" appearance
xenobiotic
biologically active chemical that is not "us"
atrophy
decrease in size and/or volume of cells and tissue in an organ
hypertrophy
increase in cell size resulting in increase in volume of an organ
hyperplasia
increase in normal cell numbers resulting in an increase in the volume of an organ
metaplasia
replacement of one adult cell type by another adult cell type
dysplasia
tissue alterations characterized by architectural and cytologic disoreder--failure of normal differentiation
edema
presence of excessive fluid in a tissue or body cavity
transudate
low specific gravity
exudate
leaking pus with high specific gravity
ascites
fluid in peritoneal cavity below diaphragm
anasarca
diffuse, whole-body edema
hyperemia
increased volume of blood within a specific vascular bed
anemia
reduction in # and/or volume of erythrocytes in a unit volume of blood
backward heart failure
failure to pump blood out of veins--> "congestive"
forward heart failure
failure to pump blood into arteries with sufficient pressure to perfuse the organs
global heart failure
forward and backward failure
right sided congestive heart failure
right ventricle fails to empty systemic veins
dilated right ventricle, systemic edema, effusions
left sided CHF
left ventricle fails to empty pulmonic veins
dilated left ventricle, pulmonary edema
Virchow's triad
Vessel wall injury
Increased blood coagulability
Decreased blood flow
Phlebothrombosis
stasis of blood in uninflamed veins
thrombophlebitis
venous thrombois in which inflammation of vein wall plays primary role
shock
inadequate perfusion of cells and tissues
Septic shock
hyperdynamic: increased pusle, cardiac output, ventilation, CVP
Hypotension, warm, dry extremities and peripheral vasodilation
procoagulant mechanisms
reflex vasoconstriction
platelets
plasma proteins
what does vWF bind to for platelet adhesion to subendothelium?
platelet GPIb receptor complex
anticoagulant mechanisms (3)
antithrombin-heparin system
Protein C pathway
fibrinolytic system
What does vWF do in terms of FVIII?
protects it from proteolytic cleavage and brings it to site of hemorrhage
what happens for aggregation?
fibrinogen crosslinks platelets via GPIIb-IIIa receptors
describe protein C pathway
thrombin + thrombomodulin activates protein C and interacts with protein S to inactivate FVa and FVIIIa to shut down coag cascade
what will prolong a PT?
deficiency of FVII, X, V, II, fibrinogen
what will prolong at PTT?
def. of FVIII, IX, XI, XII
what do dendritic cells do during maturation?
upregulate CD80 and CD86--use to interact with CD28 on T cells
what are selectins used in?
rolling
what are integrins used in?
adhesion, diapedesis
what induces how you feel when you're sick?
IL-1
TNFalpha
what do glucocorticoids do?
induce synthesis of I-kappaB
bind directly to p50 and p65
what does aspirin do?
retards degradation of I-kappaB
what do selectins bind?
glycoproteins
what do integrins bind?
immunoglobulin superfamily
what cells are found in granulomas?
T cells, plasma cells, histiocytes, giant cells
what is a "left shift" and what does it indicate?
increase in the number of immature WBCs in circulation
indicates infection
how does NAC work?
augments glutathione and binds directly to toxic metabolites
protects hepatocytes from NAPQ1 toxicity
Mechanisms of edema
increased intravascular hydrostatic pressure
decreased serum oncotic pressure
increased permeability of vessel walls
increased sodium
lymphatic obstruction or destruction
