Inflammation. Dr. Roopa. Thought for today. “ The investment u make in yourself must receive “ top priority “. When u Grow your entire world expands…. When u do not grow your whole world starts to become ‘very small’….. That smallness reflects in all areas of life including your income.”.

Thought for today • “ The investment u make in yourself must receive “ top priority “. When u Grow your entire world expands…. When u do not grow your whole world starts to become ‘very small’….. That smallness reflects in all areas of life including your income.”
What is inflammation? Vascular response to injury
Causes of inflammation • Infection • Trauma • Thermal sources • Ionizing radiation • Chemical sources • Immunologic causes • Tissue death
Types of Inflammation • Acute • Chronic
PRINCIPAL CELL EFFECTORS 1st 24 hours: NEUTROPHILS Bacterial infections, infarction Come from the bone marrow reserve pool Band neutrophils: less mature cells
2nd-3rd day: neutrophils are replaced by monocytes-macrophages • Tuberculosis, salmonellosis
Eosinophils • Allergic reactions • Parasitic infections • Hodgkin lymphoma
Mast cells and basophils • Chronic myelogenous leukemia • Myeloproliferative diseases • histamine
Cellular response of leukocytes • Emigration Margination Pavementing Rolling/Tumbling Adhesion Transmigration • Chemotaxis • Phagocytosis Opsonization • Intracellular microbial killing Oxygen-dependent Oxygen-independent
MARGINATION AND ROLLING .with increased vascular permeability, fluid leaves the vessel causing leukocytes to settle out of the central column and ‘marginate’ along the endothelial surface. .endo. Cells &leukocytes have complementary surface adhesion molecules which briefly stick &release causing the leukocyte to roll along the endothelium.
DIAPEDESIS INSINUATION OF THE NEUTROPHILS THRU THE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS BASEMENT MEMBRANE EXTRAVASCULAR TISSUES
CHEMOTAXIS NEUTROPHIL DIRECT ITS MIGRATION TOWARDS THE CHEMOATTRACTANT
MARGINATION, CHEMOTAXIS AND DIAPEDESIS CAN DELIVER HUGE NUMBERS OF NEUTROPHILS IN A FEW HOURS PUS:CELLULAR ACUTE INFLAMMATORY EXUDATE WITH PMN CELLS AND CELLULAR DEBRIS
PHAGOCYTOSIS FORMATION OF PHAGOSOME LYSOSOME PHAGOLYSOSOME
Intracellular microbial killing: • Oxygen-dependent killing is the MOST important microbial process Phagocytosis activates HMP shunt oxidative burst suppplies electrons to NADPH oxidase superoxide anion Hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide • Oxides microbial proteins and disrupts cell walls • Myeloperoxidase-halide system of bacterial killing
DEGRANULATION THE TOXIC SUBSTANCES MAY CAUSE LOSS OF FUNCTION (FUNCTIO LAESA)
INCREASED BLOOD FLOW DUE TO RELAXATION OF THE TERMINAL ARTERIOLES RUBOR AND CALOR
CONTRACTION OF CAPILLARY ENDOTHELIAL CELLS INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY SWELLING
TUMOR MILDEST: EXTRAVASATION OF WATER, LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT PROTEINS MODERATE: + HMW PROTEINS SEVERE: + BLOOD CELLS
Calor Rubor Tumor Dolor Functio laesa
MEDIATORS OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION • Exogenous: microbial products • Endogenous: 1. vasoactive amines histamine serotonin 2. Arachidonic acid metabolites cyclooxygenase pathway lipooxygenase pathway 3. Cytokines 4. Kinin system 5. Complement system
Histamine • increase capillary permeability contracts postcapillary venules • Source: basophils, mast cells,platelets • Stimuli: binding of IgE binding of C3a and C5a:”anaphylotoxins” heat, cold Interleukin-1
Serotonin • 5-hydroxytryptamine • Action: similar to histamine • Source: platelets
Cyclooxygenase pathway Enzymes:COX-1,COX-2 Products: Platelet TxA2 -vasoconstrictor,platelet aggregator 2. Endothelial prostacyclin -vasodilator,inhibits platelet aggregation Lipooxygenase pathway Products: hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HPETE) 5-HPETE -leukotrienes Arachidonic acid metabolites
Important leukotrienes • LTB4: chemotactic for neutrophils • LTC4,LTD4,LTE4 “slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis” vasodilatation bronchoconstriction increase capillary permeability
Cytokines • Soluble proteins • Secreted by numerous cells(monocytes-macrophages) • Act as “effector molecules” • IL-1 and TNF are major cytokines, that mediate inflam.. • Induce the systemic“acute phase response” • Fever, increase WBC, loss of appetite. • Synthesis of C-reactive proteins, complement components, fibrinogen, prothrombin • Synthesis of adhesion molecules • Neutrophildegranulation
Kinin system • Formed during active secretion in sweat glands, salivary glands, pancreas, kidneys • End product: bradykinin • Actions: vascular permeability arteriolar dilation pain
Complement system • 20 Plasma proteins • HEPATOCYTES,MACROPHAGES, GIT CELLS • Action: cell lysis
COMPLEMENT CASCADE classical pathway alternative pathway
OPSONIZE BACTERIA ACTIVATE PMN, MACROPHAGES REGULATES AB RESPONSE CLEARS AWAY IMMUNE COMPLEXES INFLAMMATION, TISSUE DAMAGE ANAPHYLAXIS
Classical pathway vs alternative pathway Bacterial surface activates the pathway Works in the absence of antibodies Less efficient • Starts with C1 + antigen-antibody • Ends with the membrane attack complex
C3b: opsonin • C3a and C5a: anaphylotoxins • C5b-C9: “MAC” membrane attack complex
OUTCOMES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATION • Resolution of tissue structure and function • Tissue destruction and persistent acute inflammation abscess ulcer fistula scar • Convert to chronic inflammation
ABSCESS • Cavity filled with pus • Pus: neutrophils, monocytes and cellular debris • Fibrous wall • Inaccessible to circulation • Bacterial infections, especially staphylococci
Ulcer • Involves epithelial surfaces • Loss of surface epithelium
Fistula Abnormal communication between 2 organs or between an organ and a surface
Scar • Final result of tissue destruction • Distortion of structure • Altered function
CHRONIC INFLAMMATION • Occurs when the injury is persistent or recurring; or when the inflammatory reaction is insufficient to completely degrade the agent which triggered the inflammatory reaction • May also occur de novo
Patterns of chronic inflammation • Chronic nonspecific inflammation • Granulomatous inflammation
Chronic nonspecific inflammation • Proliferation of fibroblasts and new vessels • Increased macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells • Macrophage+antigen B lymphocyte activation antibody-producing plasma cells • Scarring and distortion of tissue architecture
Granulomatous inflammation • Granuloma: nodular collection of macrophages called “epitheloid cells” • Surrounded by rim of lymphocytes • Macrophage+antigen presented to CD4+lymphocytes release of cytokines monocytes/macrophages transform epitheloid cells and giant cells
Most characteristic: CASEOUS NECROSIS • Multinucleated giant cells Langhans giant cells foreign body giant cell • TB, fungal infections, Syphyllis, cat-scratch fever, foreign bodies
