Study Notes
Inflammation Overview
- Cellular infiltrate in acute inflammation: Characterized by a predominance of neutrophils.
- Not part of inflammatory response: Cell division and proliferation
- Common outcome of acute inflammation: Resolution, with restoration of normal tissue structure.
- Mediator for vasodilation: Histamine.
- Distinguishes chronic inflammation from acute inflammation: The presence of lymphocytes and macrophages as the dominant cell types in chronic inflammation.
Key Features of Acute Inflammation
- Acute inflammation description: Rapid onset, short duration, and a prominent role of neutrophils.
- Increased vascular permeability results in: Edema.
- Reason for vascular structural changes: To facilitate leukocyte migration and delivery of plasma proteins to the injured site.
- Role of selectins in leukocyte recruitment: They mediate the initial weak rolling of leukocytes along the endothelium.
- Cytokines involved in selectin and integrin ligand expression: TNF-alpha and IL-1.
- Mechanism for destroying microbes within phagolysosomes: Lysosomal enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- Inflammation effects on normal tissues: Tissue damage and functional impairment.
- Role of nitric oxide (NO) and ROS during inflammation: Vasodilation and antimicrobial action.
- Predominant leukocyte type in early inflammation: Neutrophils.
- Vasoactive amines involved in inflammation: Histamine and serotonin.
- Function of cytokines in acute inflammation: Mediate leukocyte recruitment, vascular changes, and tissue repair.
- Primary role of complement proteins in inflammation: Enhance phagocytosis and directly kill microbes.
- Leukocyte response during acute inflammation: Margination, rolling, adhesion, and migration.
- Beneficial effect of acute inflammation: Removal of harmful stimuli and promotion of healing.
Chronic Inflammation and Beyond
- Condition least likely to result in fibrosis: Acute self-limiting inflammation, like a simple skin abrasion.
- Characteristic of chronic inflammation: Infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages, tissue destruction and repair occur simultaneously, and angiogenesis is present.
- Trigger of coagulation cascade during inflammation: Tissue damage and the release of tissue factor.
- Outcome associated with chronic inflammation: Fibrosis.
- Vascular reaction and pain during inflammation: Mediated by inflammatory mediators like bradykinin, prostaglandins, and histamine.
- Key characteristic of chronic inflammation: Persistent inflammation.
- Cytokine associated with macrophage activation: IFN-gamma.
- Immune response associated with granulomatous inflammation: Cell-mediated immunity.
- Stimulus of acute-phase protein production: Cytokines like IL-1 and TNF-alpha.
- Cell types in chronic inflammation: Lymphocytes (T and B cells), macrophages, and plasma cells.
- Systemic effect of inflammation: Fever.
Tissue Regeneration and ECM
- Tissues categorized based on proliferative capacity: Labile (continuously dividing), Stable (low level of division), and Permanent (non-dividing).
- Cell category unlikely to divide after maturation: Permanent tissues, like neurons and cardiac muscle cells.
- Amplified and prolonged inflammation in chronic inflammation: Due to tissue damage, cytokine production, and the formation of inflammatory granulation tissue.
- Stem cells derived from mature cells: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
- Role of collagens and elastin in the ECM: Provide structural support and elasticity to tissues.
Types of Inflammation
- Suppurative inflammation: Characterized by the formation of pus, which is a thick, yellowish fluid containing neutrophils, bacteria, and cellular debris.
- Inflammation with necrotic cell erosion: Erosive inflammation, often seen in mucosal tissues.
- ECM component vital for tissue regeneration: Fibronectin.
- Fibrinous inflammation: Characterized by a deposition of fibrin, forming a mesh-like structure in the inflamed tissue.
- Role of proteoglycans in the ECM: Bind water and provide lubrication.
- Serious inflammation exudate: Fibrinopurulent exudate.
