1. DystrophiasIntracellular and extracellular accumulation of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Storage diseases. Depositions. Pathology of endogenous pigments. As.prof. Golovata Tatiana

2. Dystrophy (from the Greek. Dys-disorders and tropho-nutrition) - a quantitative and qualitative structural changes in the cells and / or intercellular substance of organs and tissues caused by violation of trophic.

3. Morphological essence dystrophy • Increase or decrease to-those of any matter contained in the body normally • Changing the quality, and physical and chemical properties of substances • The appearance of ordinary matter in unusual places • The appearance and accumulation of new substances that are not inherent in the normal body

4. Causes of abnormal accumulation of metabolic products • 1. Pathology of cells-genetic or acquired defects of specific enzymes involved in the metabolism • 2. Dysfunction of transport systems (disorders of blood circulation-hypoxia) • 3. Violation endocrine and neural regulation of trophic.

5. Mechanisms of abnormal accumulation of metabolic products • Infiltration – ingestion of indigestible materials and accumulation of exogenous materials in cells. • Mutations causing alterations in protein folding and transport. • Perverse synthesis • Decomposition - decay lipoprotein complexes.

6. Classification of pathological accumulation of metabolic products • According predominance violation of a particular type of exchange: • a) protein, • b) fat, • c) hydrocarbons • d) mineral • For localization of the pathological process: • a) intracellular (parenchymal) • b) extracellular (stromal-vascular); • c) mixed • Depending on the influence of genetic factors: • a) congenital • b) acquired. • For prevalence of the process: • a) general, • b) local.

7. Intracellular Accumulations of proteins Accumulatios of proteins appear as rounded, eosinophilic droplets by denaturation and coagulation or vacuoles by hydration

8. Intracellular Accumulations of proteins Reabsorption droplets in proximal renal tubules are seen in renal diseases associated with protein loss in the urine. The process is reversible if the proteinuria diminishes, the protein droplets are metamolized and disappear. Pink hyaline droplets in the renal tubular epithelium

9. Intracellular Accumulations of proteins – hydropic swelling Caused hydration of hyaline droplets by different toxic action • Hydropicvacuolation of renal tubular epithelium. Cytoplasm contains watery vacuoles

10. Intracellular Accumulations of proteins - keratinization disorders Keratinization disorders refers to a large and heterogeneous group of disorders of cornification, the majority of which are genetically determined. Actually, the ichthyoses constitute the predominant portion of keratinisation disorders. The word « ichthyosis » derives from the Greek word « ichthys » which means fish. In most cases, the skin abnormalities appear since birth.

11. Squamous cell carcinoma skin whith keratinization Keratin pearl (P) or eddy in squamous cell carcinoma

12. Extracellular Accumulations of proteins – degenerations of connective tissue • Mucoid swelling • Fibrinoid swelling • Hyalinosis

13. Extracellular Accumulations of proteins – degenerations of connective tissue • Mucoid swelling is a stromal dysproteinosis with superficial disorganization of protein in connective tissues with accumulation of basic substance glycoaminoglycan and their redistribution which cause the increasing of vessels permeability

14. Occasionally connective tissue appears to secret mucin Characterised by metachromasia Mucoid

15. It is a stromal vascular dystrophy defined by destruction of collagen fibers and basic substances with plasmorrhagia and formation of protein and polysaccharide complexes on fibrinoid substance Fibrinoid swelling

16. Hyaline It is a stromal vascular dysproteinosis definedby alteration in the extracellular space whichbecomes homogenous, glossy, pink appearancein sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin

17. The term “hyaline” is used in many situations where degeneration is not a feature, e.g. glossy capsule of spleen, dense cartilage like valve Hyaline

18. Intracellular accumulation of lipids – fatty change • This is accumulation of fat in non-fatty tissues, especially the parenchymatous organs, skeletal muscles and the heart, which have a high metabolic rate.

19. Fatty change • Development mechanism: Causative factor: cell poisons (bacterial, chemical e.g. alcohol) and clinical disorders (anaemia, cardiac failure, diabetes mellitus) →Reduced cellular enzyme activity → Inability to metabolise fat →Accumulation of fat in cells

20. Fatty change In normal non-fatty tissues the intracellular fat is not visible by light microscopy using conventional fat stains. In fatty change, the accumulated fat is visualised using frozen sections, stained by Sudan III and indicated by bright orange vacuoles In routine paraffin sections the fat has been dissolved and is indicated by clear vacuoles

21. For example Fatty liver – organ is enlargement and yellow – “goose liver” A heart on the inside of which stripes of yellowish or white, tiger skin is simulated – “tiger heart”. Effect of fatty myocardium is cardiac failure Fatty change

22. Obesity is defined as a body mass index equal to or greater than 30. The main cause of obesity is increased intake of food. Manifestations: increased of adipose tissue in the fat depots Obesity

23. Obesity Obesity must be distinguished from intra-cellular fatty change describe above. Gross degrees of obesity lead to increased adipose tissue in abnormal sites, e.g. between myocardial fibres.

24. Metabolic disturbances of cholesterol • Accumulation of cholesterol manifested histologically by intra-cellular vacuoles, are seen in several pathologic processes, e.g. atherosclerosis, xanthomas.

25. STORAGE DISEASES - INBORN ERRORS OF METABOLISM Inborn errors of metabolism are single-gene defects resulting in the absence or deficiency of an enzyme or the synthesis of a defective protein. Inborn errors of metabolism have four possible consequences: • accumulation of an intermediate metabolite (e.g. homogentisic acid in alkaptonuria) • deficiency of the ultimate product of metabolism (e.g. melanin in albinos) • synthesis of an abnormal and less effective end product (e.g. haemoglobin S in sickle cell anaemia) • failure of transport of the abnormal synthesised product (e.g. α1-antitrypsin deficiency).

26. The commonest disorder of carbohydrate metabolism with an inherited component in its aetiology is diabetes mellitus. Histological manifestations: reduce glycogen content in traditional depot, e.g. in the liver accumulation in abnormal places, e.g. in the renal tubular epithelium Disorders of carbohydrate metabolism

27. TISSUE DEPOSITIONS - Amyloid • In this condition, a 'waxy' substance composed essentially of an abnormal protein is deposited in the extracellular tissues, particularly around the supporting fibres of blood vessels and basement membranes. Amyloid is resistant to degradation and removal by the usual process so that the deposition progresses relentlessly.

29. CLASSIFICATIONof Amiloidosis

30. Pathological effects

31. Dystrophic calcification occurs in tissue already affected by disease. Common examples are: atheromatous plaques calcification of mitral valve ring old tuberculous lesions fat necrosis old thrombi necrotic tissue dead parasites Calcification - Abnormal deposits of calcium salts occur in two circumstances: dystrophicand metastatic.

32. Metastatic calcification is much less common than dystrophic calcification and occurs as a result of hypercalcaemia. Frequent causes are: hyperparathyroidism Calcification

33. Local melanin pigmentation This is seen in tumor derived from the melanocytes of the skin and choroid cost of the eye Pathology of endogenous pigments. Melanin pigmentation

34. Generalisedmelanin pigmentation (melanosis) is acharacteristic of this condition which involves the destruction of the adrenals, adrenal thus remuving the inhibitory adrenal control. Pigmentation is seen on exposed skin surfaces, and those subject to local irritation including squamous mucous surfaces such as the mouth. Pathology of endogenous pigments. Melanin pigmentation

35. It is iron derived from red cells breakdown is held in the spleen, liver and marrow. When the amount of iron within the cells becomes excessive and overloads the ferritin system, it is deposited in a brown granular form – haemosiderin. This occurs in two situations: Local breakdown of red cells in tissues e.g. in internal haemorrhage. Visceral siderosis – this is seen in the liver, spleen in cases of haemolytic anaemia, and in blood transfusion. Iron is found in the liver parenchyma. Easily demonstrated by the Prussian Blue reaction. Pathology of endogenous pigments.Iron-containing pigment - haemosiderin

36. This is yellowish brown pigment having a high lipid content, often found in the atrophied cells of old age – “wear and tear” pigment. It is particularly common in the heart muscle around nucleus. Pathology of endogenous pigments.Lipofuscin

37. When the bilirubin content of the serum rises above 34 μmol/l, jaundice appears. This can be brought about by an abnormality in one of main ways: Post - hepatic (obstructive) jaundice Pre- hepatic jaundice Hepato-cellular jaundice Pathology of endogenous pigments.Iron-free pigment - Bilirubin
