5 cardinal signs of inflammation and explaination

1. heat/hot: ↑ blood flow in affected area


2. redness


3. swell: ↑ bulk (gel-like)


4. pain: ↑ tension tissue


5. loss of function

healthy, physiological outcomes of inflammation

-can be a defense mechanism


-evolutionary term, inflammation is a protective system

How can inflammation can be harmful

-life threatening: fill up of air spaces in lung


-mechanical trauma: cutting/crushing


-chemical injuries: produced by acid

Acute inflammation

-onset: fast


-cells: neutrophils


-tissue: limited


-physical sign: obvious

Chronic inflammation

-onset: slow


-cells: macrophages & lymphs


-tissue: progessive


-physical sign: subtle


2 main components of inflammation:

1. cellular: (leukocytes) accumulation of leukocytes at site of injury (migration)


2. vascular: vasodiliation, ↑ vascular permeability

Exudate

↑ vascular permeability


-mass of cell & fluid that has speed out of blood vessels or organs especially in inflammation

Transudate

↑ hydrostatic pressure


↓ colloid osmotic pressure

6 types of exudate:

1. serous exudate


2. fibrinous exudate


3. haemorrhagic


4. purulent


5. catarrhal


6. membrane & pseudomembranous

serous exudate

↓ in protein


fluid in blister

fibrinous exudate

↓ volume & ↑ protein,


-two surface covered in fibrin stick together to build bridge = scar tissue form = loss of function

Haemorrhagic exudate

occur where small blood vessel severely damage that allow the escape of red cells from lumen into extravascular space.

Purulent exudate

-neutrophil dominant


-large # cells


-liquefaction of dead tissue (fluid material pus)


Catarrhal exudate

occur when mucous membrane is inflammed

Membrane/Pseudomembranous exudate

consist dead epithelial cells (fibrin+neutrophils)

Major cells in inflammation

white cells, endothelial cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils (mast cells)

mast cells release

histamine

which cells control adhesion/migration of inflammation cells

endothelial cells

neutrophils

most # of cells that migrate to injured area in early stages of acute inflammation

eosinphils

-promote inflammation


-benefical when isolating/controlling disease site and ongoing inflammation

basophils

release histamine, chemotactics factors, cytokins

Explain leukocyte recruitment (out of blood vessels into inflamed)

1. injured/inflammed tissue


2. release chemicals


3. endothelial cells produce adhesion mol. in response to chemicals


4. white cells moving in blood


5. tether/roll


6. adhere


7. immune cell exit the blood vessel

Leukocyte

white blood cells that fight of bacteria

3 steps in phagocytosis

1. opsonization


2. engulfment


3. lysosomal fusion°ranulation

Opsonization

-coat microbes & target them for opsonins


-the microbes bind to phagocyte receptor


- two proteins: IgG & C3b

Egulfment

phagocyte membrane zips up around microbe

Lysosomal fusion & degranulation

break down

phagocytosis

it keeps bacteria foreign bodies away from other parts of cell and packs it up then kill it

Vasoactive amines

-histamine


-serotonin

Histamine:

-↑ vascular premeability = swelling


-↑ inflammatory responses


-hot, red, swollen = cause small blood vessels in -tissue to expand/dilate/leak


-allow protective blood proteins + WBCs to leave vessels & start repair.

Serotonin:

↑ blood pressure = constriction blood vessels (vasoconstriction)

Complement system:

-opsinzation


-w/infection system activated, lead sequence of events on surface of pathogen and destroy/eliminate infection.

4 major functions of inflammation in complement system:

C3a and C5a - mast cell release histamine


C3b - bind to cells to tag phagocytosis


C3a - recruit/activate WBCs


C5b-C9 - forms MACS & lyses microbes

Kinin System:

-serious of enzymes leading to conversion of plasma precursors into active polypeptides


-dilation of blood vessels


-bradykinin agent produce vascular dilation, ↑ vascular permeability

Coagulation system:

-thrombin: fibrin clots + endothelial activation

products of arachidonic acid breakdown:

-mediate inflammatory reactions


-fatty acid (responsible for inflammation in muscle tissue)


Arachidonic acid breakdown example

working out, muscle damage, certain enzymes flock toward affected area and free ARA from membrane.

acute phase proteins:

-↑ conc. in plasma during inflammation


-iron-storage protein that measure iron status


-plasma protein

IL-8: (protein mediator)

some attract neuclophils that attact monocytes

chemokine alpa:

produced by monocytes, some T lymphocytes, endothelial cells, platelets

IL1: (protein mediator)

-induce fever


-↓ blood pressure



-release prostagladins


-collagenas


-acute phase proteins

TNF alpha: (protein mediator)

-fambam of ligands


-host defense against infections


-a cytokine produced in greatest amount by stimulated macrophages


process of mast cell in tissue to be released

1. surface coated with receptors


2. cytoplasm loaded with granules containing mediators of inflammation


3. receptor outside bind w/ligand & trigger exocytosis of granules (move outside of mast cell)

key players in initiation of inflammation:

mast cells

what activates recruiting:


it recruits what?

-mediators



-neutrophils, lymphocytes (B T cells), eosinophils

TNF alpha cause:



lead to:



what kind of protein is it:

-excessive inflammation



-lead to pain and tissue damage



-signaling protein

chemokines with adhesion molecules cause what in inflammatory:

directional migration of leukocytes in inflammatory

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced by:

activated phagocytes: neutrophils + macrophages

ROS lead to:



damages:

-tissue injury



-other molecules and cell structure they're part of

3 examples of ROS molecules:

1. hydrogen peroxide ions


2. hydroxyl radicals


3. superoxide (anion + ion)

ROS are good too because:

the macrophages and neutrophils must generate to kill bacteria engulfed by phagocytosis (and they're released during macro+neu activated).

3 roles of exudate:

1. dilution


2. bacterial killing by antibody and complement


3. localization

Bradykinin relaxes:

smooth muscle walls of arterioles

Bradykinin ↑ and ↓ what:



Bradykinin is like:

- blood flow to tissue (make red/swollen)



-blood pressure



-histamine

precursor:

compound that participate in chem rxn that makes another compound.

how do hageman factor make bradykinin:

1. HF circulate blood inactive precursor


2. tissue damage, blood escape into tissue space


3. HF contact collagens inside space = actived


4. HF start cleaving prekillikrein into killinkrein


5. kallikrein cleaves kininogen forming bradykinin

acute inflammation responds by (3):

1. isolating damaged area


2. mobilizing effector cells/mols to site even if later


3. promote healing

Abcess formation:

1. center: liquefied dead tissue mixed with remain of dead neutrophils


2. fibrin & living neutrophils present


3. healthy part, proliferating fibroblasts, young collagen fibers (repair process)

in abcess, what's good about the outer layer:

this zone is a barrier so no more inflammation spreads

ulcers:

-local defect in epithelial surface cause by shedding of dead epithelial cells
