    Learning Objectives

    • Year LO- Y1SS05: Focuses on biochemical and cellular processes, including replication, membrane transport, and interaction with the extracellular environment, defining cells as fundamental units of life.
    • Semester LO SS4: Explains inflammation in terms of involved cells and its relation to symptoms (red, hot, swollen, painful, restricted movement).
    • Session LO: This section covers inflammation terminologies, concepts, types, morphological patterns, and outcomes, along with clinical application using museum specimens.

    Definition of Inflammation

    • Latin origin: "inflammare".
    • A primary defense by the innate immune system in response to tissue injury.
    • Goal: eliminate the cause of injury and instigate tissue repair.
    • Components: stimulus, vessels, cells, mediators.
    • A complex process with four steps: recognition of stimulus, vascular events, cellular events, and resolution/repair.
    • Clinical examples include cellulitis, arthritis, and appendicitis.

    Major Components of Inflammation

    • Stimulus: initiates the inflammatory response.
    • Vessels: include arteries, veins, and lymphatics.
    • Cells: include white blood cells (like neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes), platelets, and tissue cells.
    • Mediators: comprise plasma proteins (complement), cytokines, chemicals, and cell surface proteins (including microbial proteins).

    Inflammation Process: Steps (Sequence)

    • The process starts with a stimulus.
    • Vascular changes include vasodilation and increased vascular permeability.
    • Cellular events involve leukocyte recruitment, chemotaxis, recognition, attachment, activation, removal (killing/degradation of stimuli), and phagocytosis.
    • Inflammation resolves with regeneration, repair or local tissue healing.

    Step 1: Stimulus

    • Types (Aetiology/Cause): Vascular (ischemia/hypoxia), infections, neoplasms, drugs, congenital disorders, autoimmune diseases, trauma, environmental factors, and endocrine factors.
    • Sources (B): Exogenous (physical, chemical, biological, environmental) and Endogenous (immune reactions).
    • Examples of exogenous stimuli include physical trauma, chemical burns, bacterial infections, and environmental factors like frostbite.
    • Examples of endogenous stimuli include immune reactions, like the rheumatic fever caused by some antibodies cross-reacting with heart tissue.

    Step 2: Vascular Changes

    • Include vasodilation (increase in blood vessel diameter) and increased vascular permeability (leakage of fluid, cells, and proteins into tissue).
    • This leads to symptoms like redness, swelling, warmth, and pain (the five cardinal signs of inflammation).
    • Lymphatic changes include dilation and proliferation of lymphatic vessels, draining leaked fluid and debris to lymph nodes.

    Step 3(I): Leukocyte Recruitment (Margination and Migration)

    • Neutrophils are primarily involved in acute inflammation, while lymphocytes are more prominent in chronic inflammation.
    • Eosinophils are important in allergic reactions and infections involving parasites.

    Step 3(II)i: Chemotaxis

    • Chemokines are chemicals that attract leukocytes to the site of injury.
    • Bacteria, complement components, and cytokines are sources of these recruiting chemicals.

    Step 3(III): Recognition, Attachment, and Activation

    • Leukocytes recognize microbes, chemicals, and dead cells through various receptors, leading to phagocytosis.

    Step 3(III): Removal: Phagocytosis & Killing

    • Phagocytosis: Engulfment and ingestion of microbes or debris.
    • Killing: Breakdown and degradation of ingested material within phagosomes by lysosomal enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

    5 Cardinal Signs of Inflammation

    • Rubor (Redness): Vasodilation.
    • Tumor (Swelling): Increased vascular permeability and fluid leakage.
    • Calor (Heat): Increased blood flow.
    • Dolor (Pain): Stretching of pain receptors and release of chemical mediators.
    • Functio laesa (Loss of function): Tissue disruption and loss of normal function.

    Types of Inflammation: Acute and Chronic

    • Acute: Rapid onset, short duration (days), characterized by neutrophils, often self-limiting, and resolves with healing or tissue repair mechanisms.
    • Chronic: Slow onset, long duration (weeks to years), characterized by lymphocytes and macrophages, tissue damage, and possibly fibrosis.
    • Examples include trauma and infections.

    Outcomes of Inflammation

    • Resolution (clearance of injurious stimuli and mediators, replacement of damaged cells).
    • Pus formation (abscess).
    • Fibrosis (scar tissue, and loss of normal function)

    Significance of Inflammation

    • Beneficial (Treat): Neutralization of harmful stimuli, debris disposal, limiting damage, initiating tissue repair, triggering adaptive immune response.
    • Harmful (Trick): Tissue damage, spread (chronicity), formation of excessive scar tissue, precursor for cancers (like IBD-associated colon cancer)
