Inflammation

what R is missing in the general features of inflammation?
recognition
recruitment
regulation
repair

removal

major cell involved in acute inflammation

neutrophils

major cell involved in chronic inflammation

monocytes/macrophages
lymphocytes

what is acute inflammation characterised by?

exudation of fluid and plasma proteins and emigration of leukocytes

what does exudate imply

inflammation

difference between transudate and exudate

exudate: high protein content and cellular debris
transudate: low protein content, little to no cellular material

prostaglandins, leukotrienes, stimulate vascular and cellular reactions and cause pain and fever

arachidonic acid metabolites

cytokines

TNF 2

histamine, serotonin, stored as preformed molecules so first to be released by physical injury to cells

vasoactive amines

kill microbes, injure tissues

ROS

vasodilation and microbial killing

NO

microbial killing, injure tissues

lysosomal enzymes

what are the mediators of a fever

IL-1, TNF, prostaglandins

a prolonged host response to persistent stimulus/injury

chronic inflammation

angiogenesis in acute or chronic inflammation

chronic

outpouring of watery, protein poor fluid from serum or mesothelial secretions of cavities- effusion

serous

skin blister is what type of inflammation

serous

in more sever injuries, greater vascular permeability to allow passage of fibrinogen and occurs on lining of body

fibrinous

large amounts of purulent exudate, consists of necrotic cells, neutrophils, edema fluid

suppurative

what is Staphylcoccus referred to as?

pyogenic

an abscess is an example of what

suppurative and have a central necrosis layer around

local defect/excavation on surface of organ or tissue

ulcer

name 4 systemic effects of inflammation

fever
acute phase proteins produced
leukocytosis
septic shock

which systemic effect:
cytokines (TNF, IL-1) stimulates production of prostaglandins in hypothalamus

fever

which systemic effect:
cytokines (IL-6, others) stimulate production of C-reactive protein and others at liver causing endothelial injury

actue phase proteins

which systemic effect:
induced by high levels of TNF, manifestations are hypotension

septic shock

which systemic effect:
cytokines (colony stimulating factors) stimulate production of leukocytes from precursors at bone marrow

leukocytosis
