  1. Inflammation and Cell Damage Peer Support 2014 Michael Iveson and Emily Hodgson

  2. Give three advantages to inflammation? • dilution of toxins • entry of antibodies • fibrin formation • nutrients and oxygen • deliver neutrophils • stimulation of the immune response • entry of drugs

  3. Give two problems caused by inflammation? • destruction of normal tissue • swelling • blockage of tubes • loss of fluid • pain • inappropriate inflammation

  4. What are the FOUR cardinal signs of acute inflammation? • Rubor • Tumor • Calor • Dolor • (FunctioLaesa)

  5. What immune cell is key in acute inflammation? • Neutrophils

  6. What are the stages of neutrophil recruitment? (IN ORDER) • 1. Margination • 2. Adhesion • 3. Emigration • 4. Chemotaxis

  7. What are the vascular changes in acute inflammation? • Arteriole and capillaries dilate • Opening of new capillary beds • Increased blood flow • Red cell stasis • Endothelial cells swell and partially retract – more permeable

  8. What is exudate? • Inflammatory fluid which has high protein concentration

  9. Give the three types of exudate? • Fibrinous – large amounts of fibrinogen • Purulent – pyogenic bacterial infections • Transudate – lower protein content

  10. How do neutrophils move through the endothelial wall? • Inflammatory mediators increase expression of p-selectin on the endothelial walls • Neutrophil attaches to p-selectin • Pseudopodia push through the endothelial gaps and digest the basement membranes with proteolytic enzymes • Cells enter extravascular space

  11. Give three systemic signs and symptomsof acute inflammation. • Fever • Leukocytosis • Malaise • Nausea • Anorexia • Lymphoid hyperplasia • CRP, ESR raised

  12. Give three mediators of acute inflammation • Histamine • Prostaglandins • Leucotrienes • NO • PAF • Cytokines • Complement

  13. Give three outcomes of acute inflammation • Resolution • Suppuration • Organisation and repair • Calcification • Continued acute/ chronic inflammation • Septicemia • Death

  14. What are the three key features of chronic inflammation? • Ongoing inflammation • Ongoing tissue destruction • Ongoing attempts at tissue repair

  15. Give two cell types involved in chronic inflammation • Macrophages • Lymphocytes • Plasma cells • Eosinophils

  16. What do macrophages produce? • Proteases • Hydrolytic enzymes • Reactive O2 species • GF • Cytokines

  17. Give three possible outcomes of chronic inflammation • Continued chronic inflammation • Change in tissue function • Atrophy • Metaplasia (= change in cell type) • Resolution • Damaging stimulus removed, healing can occur • Scarring with dysfunction • Cirrhosis in viral hepatitis • Catastrophe • Damaging stimulus increases / tissue healing response weaken > tissue insult worsens • E.g. Perforated gastric ulcer

  18. What is granulomatous inflammation? • A subtype of chronic inflammation • Occurs when neutrophil phagocytosis is inadequate to control causative agent • Characterised by granulomas = collections of macrophages

  19. What cells are present in a granuloma?

  20. Make sure you know… • Phagocytosis • Types of necrosis • Differences between apoptosis and necrosis • Granulomatous inflammation/granuloma is different to granular tissue
