Q

What are the four steps of the vascular response?

A
  1. smooth muscle relaxation in arteries and arterioles to allow blood to rush in
  2. vascular dilation = hyperemia (blood moving fast)
  3. endothelial cells contract creating intracellular gaps
  4. increased vascular permeability = first water and salt leak out including fibrinogen and immunoglobulins

25
what is the maintenance of vascular tone dependent on
nitric oxide | - released from stimulated endothelial cells to affect smooth muscle relaxation
26
What macrophages use NO for?
to produce antimicrobial free radicals - cells contain inducible NO - which can metabolize arginine
27
prostaglandins
vasoactive properties | - systemic signs of infection = fever pain
28
What produces LTB4
leukotrienes produce LTB4 as a chemoattractant to neutrophils
29
Which cytokines activate macrophages and induce selections?
TNF alpha, IL-1
30
Which cytokine is responsible for fever?
IL-1
31
Which cytokine acts as a chemotaxis for PMNs
IL-8
32
bradykinin
- production of pain
33
C5a
chemotaxin | - vasoactive
34
c3b
oxidant
35
why do we ice
constrict the vessels and decrease blood flow and alleviate some pain
36
neutrophil phagocytosis
- rich in myeloperoxidase - antibody coats particle and binds to receptor for antibodies on the neutrophil (Fc receptor) to help the neutrophil to engage - factor C3 coats particulate matter
37
opsonin
coat the particulate matter to engulf by phagocytosis to enhance phagocytosis - antibody or C3
38
Do neutrophils require oxygen?
no, but it can do an even better job with oxygen - with oxygen it can take NADPH and oxidize it will allow it to reduce oxygen to create free radicals to kill whatever is ingested
39
Myeloperoxidase
neutrophil has these in abundance | - myloperoxidase can produce OCl- free radical
40
What does neutrophil tissue infiltration tell us
acute inflammation | - first responders to injury
41
What do macrophages tell us
what monocytes become as they move into the issues | - increase after 24-28 and become predominant cell type
42
What is inflammatory edema
fluid exudate, protein rich
43
purulent suppurative
pus = cell rich
44
fibrinous exudate
exudate that is rich in fibrin
45
mucinous exudate
exudate that is rich inmucin
46
sanginous exudate
hemorrhagic, common with necrosis
47
What would meningitis in the brain show
suppurative exudate | - pus between the gyri
48
abscess
liquefactive necrosis of tissue surrounded by normal tissue - suppurative exudate - rich in neutrophils
49
ulcer
liquifactive necrosis at tissue surface - suppurative exudate - on the surface of the mucosa
50
leukocytosis
increased release of neutrophils from marrow | - systemic sign of acute inflammation
51
What does a release of IL-1 cause
leukocytosis | - increased release of neutrophils from marrow
52
What is released into systemic circulation during a fever?
prostaglandin and IL-1 | - affect thermoregulation on hypothalamus and pulse rate
53
What do IL-6 and IL-1 stimulate the liver to produce?
acute phase proteins = CRP | - bind to dead cells and pathogens and activates complement cascade
54
What do elevated levels of CRP indicate?
active levels of inflammation | - could be sign of heart attack
55
erythrocyte sedimentation rate
ESR | - IL-6 and IL-1 increase liver synthesis of fibrinogen which leads to increased RBC aggregation --> sediment
56
What are DAMPs chemoattractants to?
neutrophils
57
Which cell is the key effect cell for healing
macrophage - produce EGG, VGF, GFG, TGFalpha (promote cell growth) - fibrogenesis - metallaproteinases (wound remodeling)
58
what are the 4 steps for healing and repair?
1. removal of edema and debris 2. regeneration of native tissues - need activate macrophages to make all the growth factors 3. organization - proliferation of 3 major cell types 4. fibrosis - scar
59
What reabsorb edema during healing?
lymphatics
60
Which cells remove cell and tissue debris during healing?
macrophages
61
granulation tissue
the term that is used for wound healing, provisional tissue that is laid down - contains macrophages that release growth factors - endothelial cells - angiogenesis - fibroblasts to make collagen
62
fibrosis/scar formation
macrophages recognize fibrovascular granulation tissue - fibroblasts contract to close the wound and synthesize collage to create strength within the scar - mature scar has few cells and little vascular support
63
During mid-late wound organization which factors are important?
TGFbeta, FGF, PDGF | - stimulate fibroblast proliferation/motility, collagen, fibronectin synthesis
64
healing by first intention
- stitching to bring the wound close together - decrease the amount of time for healing - decrease the provisional tissues that are necessary - pretty good union by two weeks
65
healing by second intention
- although you can bring in new epidermal cells but the tissue underneath may not be so good at replication - left with scar that can be seen or may be present under the skin
66
keloid
- production of excess collagen for wound healing - excessive scar production - keloid overlaps with normal skin
67
What are the key cells in chronic inflammation
macrophages and lymphocytes are the key cells
68
When does CT proliferation occur in acute inflammation
as inflammation subsides
69
When does CT proliferation occur in chronic inflammation
with ongoing inflammation
