LPS
From many bacteria, induces IL-1 and TNF release and can lead to shock (VIA PROTEIN A)
Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1
Superantigen released by staphylococcal organisms

T lymphocyte activator
Prostacyclin
Vasodilator, inhibits platelet activation

Limits thrombus formation to area of injury
Apoptosis characteristics; Extrinsic vs Intrinsic
Cell shrinkage, basophilia (pyknosis) and nuclear shrinking, membrane blebbing, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis) = irreversible, and fading (karyolysis) and formation of apoptotic bodies

NO inflammation

Extrinsic - Fas ligand binds CD95, or Killer T cell releases perforin and granzyme B

FAS ligand defects implicated in clonal deletion of T cells, may have SLE role

Intrinsic - embryogenesis, hormone, atrophy or insults lead to increased Bax (pro-apoptosis) and less Bcl-2 (anti); mitochondria permeability up, Cytochrome c release

Converge to activate caspases and cell death
Necrosis Types
Coagulative - SOLID organs (ex heart, liver, kidney)
Liquefactive - brain, abscess, pleural effusion
Caseous - TB, fungi
Fatty - pancreas (saponification with hypocalcemia)
Fibrinoid - vessels
Gangrenous - dry (ischemic coagulative) or wet (with bacteria). Limbs and GI tract
Reversible and Irreversible cell injury
Reversible - Low ATP, Swelling (Na/K Pump dysfunction), chromatin clumping, fatty change, ribosomal detachment

Irreversible - Nuclear pyknosis, karyolysis, karyorrhexis, Ca++ influx (caspases), membrane damage, lysosomal rupture, cyt C release
Main watershed areas
Splenic flexure; ACA/MCA overlap
Red vs pale infarcts
Red - loose tissue with collaterals (liver, lungs, intestine) or reperfusion (free radicals)

Pale - solid tissue with single blood supply (heart, kidney, spleen)
Shock types
Hypo-volemic/cardiogenic - low output failure, high TPR, cold, clammy

Septic - high output failure, low TPR, dilated arterioles, high return, HOT
Acute vs chronic inflammation players
Acute - PMN, eosinophil, Abx mediate - rapid

Chronic - mononuclear cell mediate, persistent destruction and repair, vessel proliferation, fibrosis
WBC Extravasation
Rolling - Sialyl Lewis X binds E and P selectin
Tight binding - Integrin binds ICAM-1
Diapedesis - PECAM
Migration - attracted by C5a, IL-8, LTB4, Kallikrein (CILK)
Wound healing phases
Inflammatory - platelets, PMNs, macrophages form clot, vessel permeability and PMN migration, debris cleared in 2 days

Proliferative - Fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, endothelial cells and keratinocytes. Granulation tissue, collagen, clot dissolution and wound contraction

Remodeling - 1 week - fibroblasts, Type III collagen replaced by Type I
Transudate vs Exudate
Transudate - hypocellular, protein poor, SG <1.1012, Due to high pressure, low oncotic pressure, Na+ retained

Exudate - Cellular, protein rich, SG >1.020, due to lymphatic obstruction or inflammation
