Q

Compare between specific & Non sepcific chronic inflammation

A

Nonspecific Chronic inflammation:
* Caused by different irritants
* usually comes after acute inflammation, such as abscess that developed into chronic abscess
* It shows Thickened arterioles (End Arteritis Obliterans) (EAO)

Specific:
* Caused by multiple irritants
* Starts as chronic right away, such as Bilharziasis
* It shows Granuloma

Q

role of Macrophage in chronic inflammation

A

Key cell:
1. Monocytes migrate from blood into tissue by Chemokines to become MACROPHAGES
2. They are activated by Bacterial endotoxins or Cytokines derived from the T cells
3. They immobilize bacteria & produce proteolytic enzymes to cause Intacellular killing + degenration of Extracellular matrix & tissue damage
4. Secrete growth factors for repair
5. After inflammation, they either die, wander into lymphatics or under the effect of INF gamma from T lymphocytes, they become Multinucleated giant cells in granulomas

Q

Explain how macrophages eradicate bacteria

A
  1. Immobilization of bacteria
  2. Produce proteolytic enzymes for:
    * Intracellular killing
