Presentation Transcript
Cellular Swelling Fatty Change Hyaline Change Amyloid Change Mucoid Change Pathologic Pigmentation Pathologic Calcification • Reversible Degeneration • Irreversible Cell Death
Reversible Cell Injury Degeneration Intracellular &/or extracellular abnormal accumulation: • Excess amounts of various normal substances (water,lipids,proteins,pigments) • Abnormal substances (exogenous, endogenous)
(1) Cellular Swelling (hydropic degeneration) Intracellular accumulation • Sodium • Water
(2) Cellular Swelling Morphology the organs NE: • Cloudy swelling • Increase in the weight the cells LM: • Large • Small & fine granules in the cytoplasm Ballooning change Swelling • Endoplasmic reticulum • Mitochondria EM:
ATP Water & sodium within the cells Injurious agents Mechanism Mitochondria damage Cellular swelling
Fatty Change (1) Steatosis Intracellular abnormal accumulation: • Triglycerides Often occurred in the liver and the heart
Fatty Change (2) Morphology • Large • Yellow • Soft • Greasy NE: Fat vacuoles LM: • Round, clear vacuoles • Orange-red color by staining with Sudan Ⅲ or Oil Red O (Frozen tissue sections!) Liposomes EM: • Membrane-bound inclusions
(1) Fatty Change of the Liver NE • Mild fatty change: Not affect the gross appearance • With progressive accumulation: • Large • Yellow • Soft • Greasy Fatty Liver: Severe & diffuse fatty change
(2) Fatty Change of the Liver LM Fat vacuoles Small , in the cytoplasm around the nucleus Displacing the nucleus to the cell periphery Fatty cysts
(3) Fatty Change of the Liver Mechanism
Fatty Change of the Myocardium NE • Mild fatty change: Not affect the gross appearance • With progressive accumulation: Tigered effect Apparent bands of yellowed myocardium alternating with bands of dark,red-brown,uninvolved myocardium
Hyaline Change (1) A descriptive morphologic term A homogeneous, translucent, pink appearance in HE staining Intracellular or extracellularabnormal accumulation: • Proteins
Hyaline Change (2) • Hyaline change in arteriolosclerosis • e.g. Hypertension, Diabetes • Hyaline change in connective tissues e.g. Old scars • Hyaline change within the cytoplasm e.g. Nephrotic syndrome, Russell bodies, Mallory body
Amyloidosis Extracellular abnormal accumulation: • Amyloid
Physicochemical characteristics of amyloid • +Iodine--- a brown color--- +H2SO4 --- blue • Staining: Congo red--- red, HE--- homogeneous pink • EM: nonbranching fibrils 7.5-10 nm wide • X-ray: a pleated –sheet structure (rendering protein very resistant to enzymatic degradation, contributing to its accumulation in tissues)
Mucoid Change Extracellular abnormal accumulation: • Mucopolysaccharide (Glycosaminoglycans, Hyaluronic Acid)
Pathologic Pigmentation Intracellular & extracellular abnormal accumulation: Colored substances • Exogenous • Endogenous
Pathologic Pigmentation • Exogenous • Endogenous • Carbon • Hemosiderin • Lipofuscin • Melanin
Pathologic Calcification (1) • Except for the bones and teeth • Pathologic conditions Intracellular & extracellular abnormal accumulation: • Calcium salts
Pathologic Calcification (2) • Dystrophic Calcification In areas of necrosis No calcium metabolic derangements • Metastatic calcification In normal tissues Some calcium metabolic derangements
Irreversible Cell Injury Cell Death 1. Necrosis A sequence of morphologic changes that follow cell death in living tissue 2. Apoptosis A distinctive and important mode of cell death regulated by genes
(1) Necrosis Two essentially concurrent processes to produce the morphologic changes : 1.Enzymatic digestion of the cell 2. Denaturation of proteins Autolysis Heterolysis
(2) Necrosis • Basic pathologic changes • Types of necrosis • Sequences of necrosis
(3) Necrosis Basic Pathologic Changes Pyknosis • Nuclear changes Karyorrhexis Karyolysis • Cytoplasm Increased eosinophilia
(4) Necrosis Types of Necrosis • Coagulative necrosis • Liquefactive necrosis • Caseous necrosis • Fat necrosis • Gangrene • Fibrinoid necrosis
Coagulative Necrosis • A mass of coagulated, pink-staining, homogeneous cytoplasm • Preservation of the basic structure outline of the coagulated cell or tissue for several days • In solid organs (kidney, heart, spleen )
Liquefactive Necrosis • Liquefaction of necrotic cells • Condition: Presence of more abundant proteolytic enzymes • Most often in suppurative inflammation & in the brain
Caseous Necrosis • A distinctive form of coagulative necrosis • Cheese-like • An amorphous coarsely granular eosinophilic debris • Most often in foci of TB
Fat Necrosis • A special type of liquefactive necrosis • Focal areas of fat destruction • Calcium soaps • Enzymatic fat necrosis(acute pancreatitis) • Nonenzymatic fat necrosis (following direct trauma to adipose tissue & extracellular liberation of fat)
Gangrene • Extensive tissue necrosis • Secondary bacterial infection • Dry gangrene • Wet gangrene • Gas gangrene
Fibrinoid Necrosis • A type of connective tissue necrosis • Loss of normal structure • A homogeneous,bright pink-staining necrotic material that resembles fibrin microscopically
(5) Necrosis Consequences of Necrosis • Autolysis & inflammation • Dissolution & absorption • Sloughing Ulcer, Cavity, Sinus, Fistula • Organization & encapsulation • Calcification
