What are the three following characteristics associated with...
-Hemodynamic changes
-Neutrophils
-Chemical mediators
Acute Inflammation
Acute Inflammation =
-immediate response to injury
-contributed to innate immunity
-SHORT duration
-Cardinal Signs = Rubor, Calor, Tumor, Dolor, Functio laesa
Rubor = Redness
Calor = Heat
Tumor = Swelling
Dolor = Pain
Functio laesa = Loss of Function
Selectins =
Weak binding
Initiate rolling
Integrins =
Stable binding
Adhesion
Neutrophils associated with AML have granules that contain what enzyme?

What about granules in CML Neutrophils?
AML = Neutrophilic granules contain Myeloperoxidase

CML = Neutrophilic granules contain Leukocyte Alkaline Phosphatase (LAP)
Adhesion and Migration into inflamed tissue ...

What is the first step after VD and the leukocytes move into the tissue? What is a key component of this stage?
-Rolling is induced via P-Selectin and E-selectin
What is the next step after rolling begins in the adhesion/migration stage of inflammation?
-Integrin ligands at the endothelium stop rolling and allow stable adhesion of the leukocytes
-The leukocyte then migrates through the endothelium to enter the cell and fibrin/fibronectin allow scar tissue formation
What are important chemotaxic agents?
-C5a
-Leukotriene B4
-IL-8
What deficiency do the following symptoms describe..
-Autosomal recessive
-Deficiency of Beta-2 integrin (CD18)
-Recurrent Bacterial Infections
-Delay in Umbilical Cord Sloughing
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
Defects in adhesion can result in...
-Diabetes Mellitus
-CCS use
-Acute Alcohol Intoxication
-Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency
What is this form of intracellular killing called...
-respiratory burst
-requires O2 and NADPH oxidase
-produces superoxide, hydroxyl radicals, and hydrogen peroxide
-Myeloperoxidase converts H2O2 --> OCl- (bactericidal)
-Oxygen-dependent killing

Deficiency of NADPH Oxidase --> Chronic granulomatous disease
Def of Myeloperoxidase --> chronic Candida infections
What is this form of intracellular killing called...
-Uses lysozyme, lactoferrin, acid hydrolases, bactericidal permeability increasing protein, defensins
-Oxygen-independent killing
Vasoactive Amines (2) are...
-Histamine (from basophils, platelets, mast cells)
-Serotonin (from platelets)
Preformed mediators in secretory granules of cellular inflammation (3)
-Histamine (from basophils, platelets, mast cells)
-Serotonin (from platelets)
-Lysosomal enzymes (from neutrophils, macrophages)
Newly synthesized mediators of cellular inflammation (6)
-Prostaglandins (from leukocytes, platelets, Endothelial Cells)
-Leukotrienes (from leukocytes)
-Platelet activating factors (from leukocytes and Endothelial Cells)
-Activated O2 species (from leukocytes)
-Nitric Oxide (from macrophages)
-Cytokines (from lymphocytes, macrophages, Endothelial Cells)
What type of inflammation (Acute vs Chronic) does the following describe as its' outcomes:
-Complete resolution with regeneration
-Complete resolution with scarring/healing
-Abscess formation
-Transition to chronic inflammation
-Acute inflammation
Macrophages:
-what are they derived from?
-life span in connective tissue?
-where are they recruited from during inflammation?
-what are the associated chemotactic factors?
-what disease process causes it to become an epithelioid cell?
-derived from Monocytes
-life span = 60-120 days
-recruited from the blood for inflammation
-Chemotactic factors: C5a, MCP1, MIP1-alpha, PDGF, TGF-beta
-Granulomatous processes cause macrophages to become modified epithelioid cells
Commonly used cells for chronic inflammation (4)
-Macrophages
-Lymphocytes
-Eosinophils
-Basophils
Eosinophils are associated with what types of infection?
-Parasitic infections
-IgE mediated allergic reactions (Type I hypersensitivity)
Basophils are involved with what type of reaction?
-Type I hypersensitivity reaction = IgE mediated reactions
-Release histamine
Mediators of Pain (2)
-Bradykinin
-Prostaglandins (E2)
Mediators of Fever (4)
-Cytokines: IL1, IL6, and TNF-alpha
-Prostaglandins
What does the following describe:
-special form of chronic inflammation
-small aggregates of modified macrophages
-involves CD4+ Th1 lymphocytes
-Chronic Granulomatous inflammation
What is IFN gamma's job in granuloma formation?
Conversion from macrophage --> Epithelioid cells
Fusion of epithelioid cells in a granuloma is referred to as...
Multinucleated giant cell
What do the following have in common:
-Tuberculosis infection
-Cat-scratch fever
-Syphilis
-Leprosy
-Fungal infections
-Parasitic infections
-Foreign bodies

(RUMS)
-Rheumatic Heart Dz
