A

formed by the metabolism of food and O2 for energy production

normal O2 loses an electron and the unstable atom steals an electron from a healthy cell creating another unstable atom (chain reaction known as oxidation)

also created unpaired electrons that bind to O2 which binds to H+ to stabilize and creates O2 toxicity

- high protein concentration, cellular debris, and high specific gravity

transudate (fluid w/low protein count, little/no cellular debris, low specific gravity)

effusion (fluid leaks from blood vessels and accumulates inside an anatomical space such as pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal cavity or joint spaces.

74
Q

A

constitute defense against foreign substances (usual bacterial infection)

75

78
Q

what are basophils?

A

release histamine during allergic reactions

79
Q

what chemical mediators of inflammation?

A

histamine: quick and short acting
- inactivated in < 30’
- causes endothelial contraction-causes gaps in blood vessels increasing vessel permeability
- potent vasodilator and bronchoconstrictor

platelet activating factor: potentiates activity of other inflammatory mediators

arachidonic acid derivatives: cleavage of AAD from cell membrane leads to…
- cyclooxygenase enzyme or a lipooxygenase enzyme further metabolizes the arachidonic acid
- cyclooxygenase pathway leads to production of several types of prostaglandins which mediate fever and pain associated with inflammation

cytokines: interleukin 1 and TWF raises production of prostaglandin producing fever –> increased systemic metabolisma nd O2 consumption–>decreased systemic vascular resistance–>hypertension leads to decreased systemic vascular resistance causing increased HR

80
Q

what do corticosteroids do?

A

block production of arachidonic acid

Prednisone, dexamethasone, triamcinolone, kenalog

81
Q

what do NSAIDS do?

A

A

block production of cyclooxygenase

celebrex, meloxicam, mobic

83
Q

what is the blood coagulation/clot formation stage of healing?

A

formed by plasma proteins

balance b/w coagulation (clot formation) and lysing (clot dissembling)

protects against hemorrhage and catastrophic clotting

platelets circulate always ready to engage any damage

w/injury:
- prothrombin converted to thrombin which converts fibrinogen to fibrin (essential component of blood clots)
- fibrin forms meshwork at site of insult and stops bleeding, traps, exudate, and microorganisms

84
Q

what is the 1st stage of healing?

A

inflammation

85
Q

what is the role of the inflammation stage?

A

break down necrotic tissue w/phagocytes and enzymes

86
Q

what are the components of healing?

A

fibronectin: provides scaffolding, tensile strength, binds cells

proteoglycans/elastin: binds to fibronectin and collagen and stabilizes tissue undergoing repair, aids in hydration of tissues

collagen: glue producer, provides tensile strength and structural support for most tissues and organs
- type 1: most common, structurally strong; main component of mature scars and predominant in tissues such as tendon and bone
- type 2: thin filaments found in cartilage
- type 3: elastic filaments found in skin and blood vessels; 1st to be laid down in healing tissue

87
Q

what are the 4 stages of healing in order?

A

hemostasis and degeneration

inflammation

proliferation and migration

remodeling and maturation

88
Q

what is the hemostasis/degeneration stage of healing?

A

process of stopping blood flow through the locally damaged vessels into the injury site via coagulation

shortest phase

characterized by:
- vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation
- influx of platelets creates clots
- damage to lymph vessels
- chemotactic factors to summon inflammatory cells
- degeneration: formation of hemotoma, necrosis of dead cells, start of inflammatory cell response

89
Q

what is the inflammatory stage of healing?

A

vascular and cellular response that eliminates microbes in preparation for repair

increased neutrophils, macrophages that phagocytize microbes and mesenchymal cells which become fibroblasts.

inactivate the injurious agents, break down and remove dead cells, initiate healing

allow inflammation but minimize it

1-3 days and sometimes up to 10 days post injury

goal: replace damaged tissue w/healthy tissue, fibrous scar, or both

characterized by:
- chemicals released to attract other cells and chemicals to the area
- cytokines: express GHs, attract macrophages, fibroblasts, and neutrophils, stimulate neovascularization
- platelet release: fibronectin, growth factor, fibrinogen

debris removal 5-6 hours post injury

neutrophils and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)

inflammatory exudate formed

chemotaxis

histamine release

prostaglandins (PG)

90
Q

what are the signs of inflammation?

A

redness, edema, pain, increased temp, loss of normal functioning

91
Q

what is the proliferation phase of healing?

A

increased fibroblasts, decreased PMNs=transition from inflammation to proliferation

excessive growth of epithelial cells beneath scab

deposition of collagen fibers by fibroblasts

growth of blood vessels (neovascularization/angiogenesis)
- leaky at first

cell migration occurs

92
Q

what is the remodeling/maturation phase of healing?

A

scar tissue reduced and remodeled

can cause contractures near joints or organs

returns to more natural skin color

reduced capillary and fibroblast density

scab sloughs off

more organized collagen, fibroblasts decreased, blood vessels restored to normal

93
Q

what is arthrofibrosis?

A

local/global periarticular scarring from surgery or trauma

thickened fibrotic capsule can inhibit motion

common in shoulders and knees

caused by prolonged immobilization, infection, graft malposition post reconstruction

94
Q

collagen transition in remodeling stage of healing

A

type 3 collagen replaced by type 1 collagen

type 1 is more insoluble and resistant to destruction

strength increases w/more optimal arrangement of fibers
- more parallel= increased cross linking

95
Q

what factors affect healing?

A

growth factors

nutrition

96
Q

what is rheumatoid arthritis?

A

example of how chronic inflammation can damage healthy tissue

diagnosed by erythrocyte sedimentation rate and rheumatoid factor (antibody that attacks antibodies)

synovial fluid hyperplasia

endothelial cell activation

bone and cartilage destruction
