_______ inflammation is marked by the outpouring of a thin fluid that is derived from either the plasma or secretions of mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities (called _______).
Serous
effusion
You can't see a virus in a light microscope, but you CAN see _______ caused by homogenized DNA
inclusions
Another name for serous inflammation above the basal layer of cell
Suprabasal bullae
or
Intraepidermal bullae
More severe injuries leave room for ______ to come out of bvs, that turns into ______. If it organizes, the exudate can turn to _______
fibrinogen
fibrin
collagen (scar tissue)
Bread and butter appearance of the heart is indicative of what inflammatory morphology?
Fibrinous effusion - diagnostic of pericarditis
What cells are almost always present in fibrillar effusion?
Neutrophils (but you can also get fibrillar with a neutropenia)
Exudate consisting of neutrophils, necrotic cells, and edema fluid is characteristic of what morphological pattern of inflammation?
Suppurative or Purulent inflammation
What type of bacteria is best known for it's pyogenic (pus-producing) capabilities?
Staphylococcus
Staph is a deep seeding bacteria so it causes _________ - localized collections of purulent tissue
Abscesses
An abscess has a central region of what?
What lines the center?
What is beyond that lining which indicates attempted repair and/or walling off?
mass of necrotic leukocytes and tissue cells
zone of preserved neutrophils vascular dilation and parenchymal and fibroblastic proliferation occur
One example of a purulent inflammatory reaction occurs from the bacteria ________, which is often misdiagnosed as fungus because of the formation
Actinomyces
What is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue
ulcerative inflammation
Chronic reaction to ulcer: the ulcer develops _______ proliferation, scarring, and the accumulation of lymphocytes, _________, and plasma cells.
fibroblastic
macrophages
Ulcerative inflammation has both acute and chronic inflammation. Why?
Epithelium worn out so acute at the exposed site, develops to chronic
AML, drugs, irradiation, chediak-higashi syndrome, and mets? can all cause a defect in what part of the immune response?
PMN production
Diabetes, alcohol, steroids, beta chain of integrins can all lead to problems in what part of the immune response?
Adherence
Diabetes and immunodeficiencies can both lead to what problem in the immune system?
Defective chemotaxis
Diabetes, decreased immunoglobulin and decreased protein C (PSPB), and chediak-higashi syndrome all lead to defective what?
phagocytosis
MPO deficiency, chronic granulomatous disease, severe G6PD deficiency all lead to problems in what?
Killing
What genetic defect disease results in decreased oxidative burst (killing)?
Chronic granulomatous disease
Recurrent bacterial infections are key to diagnosing the disease
What enzyme is hereditarily defected in CGD patients?
X-linked
NADPH oxidase
There are 2 forms of CGD: X-linked which effects the _____-bound component and autosomal ______ which requires having 2 copies to functionally stop cytoplasmic components
membrane
recessive
Nitroblue Tetrazolium test: Increased NBT reduction implies ______ metabolic activity in the shunt
Increased - so black pigment in normal neutrophils, none in neutrophils that don't convert NADPH to NADP
CGD Pathogenic Organisms:
Staphylococci
Enteric organisms: _____, serratia, slamonella
Fungi: ______, aspergillus
NOTE: NO VIRUSES and NOT STREP
E. Coli
Candida
E. Coli produces some H202 but it also produces some _____ to break it down so in CGD patients it is able to survive in a phagolysosome. ______ produces H202 but no ________ so it gets rid of itself.
catalase
Strep
catalase
Organs involved in CGD: Membranes include skin, GIT, lungs. What part of the RES?
liver
2 histo things associated with CGD:
_______ inflammation with necrosis
Necrotizing _________ lesions
suppurative
granulomatoid (invasive, half-assed granuloma... can have many giant cells)
In severe G6PD deficiency you can't make _____, so essentially it is the same lesion as CGD. Pentose phosphate shunt blocked
NADPH
Severe G6PD has a:
More _____ defect (hemolytic anemia) and
_____ onset compared to CGD.
However, same net result - failure of resp burst and reduction in O2 dep killing.
severe
later/delayed
Exogenous bacterial products lead to endogenous release of ___ and ___ by WBC. This causes an increase in cyclooxygenase.
IL-1, TNF (and IL-6 I think)
An increase of cyclooxygenase leads to more _________ ____which can be converted to PGE2 (prostaglandin 2)
arachidonic acid
____ stimulates production of cyclic AMP which resets the temperature set point to avoid fever
PGE2 (prostaglandin 2)
NSAID and aspirin inhibit ________, thereby blocking PGE2 synthesis
cyclooxygenase
Pyrogens must reach the hypothalamus. This is done in 2 ways
Cross BBB
Acquire access in regions lacking BBB
Initiation of fever is marked by __ _____ increasing, vaso______in skin, shivering
Then plateau reached, shivering stops
Resolution - __ _____ decreases, vaso______ in skin, sweating
set point
constriction
set point
dilation
In acute phase reaction, the liver starts pumping out proteins: CRP and fibrinogen upregulated by ___, Serum albumin A upregulated by __ or ___
IL-6
IL-1 or TNF
CRP and SAA may act as _____ for capsulated bacteria
opsonins
Increased fibrinogen causes _____ formation
rouleaux - strings
Increased CRP levels in blood may indicate what?
Imminent MI in patients with CAD because it measures inflammation (atherosclerosis)
Prolonged SAA (serum albumin amyloidosis) causes what?
secondary amyloidosis
ex: bronchiectasis, osteomyelitis, arthritis
