Drugs for Inflamm

Pharmacology 445

QuestionAnswer
What is the primary injury? intial injury to area, causing primary blood flow
What is the cause of the secondary injury? originally healthy cells die from hypoxic nature of ischemic blood flow
What chemical mediators are released withing the first 24hrs? histamine, seretonin, bradykinin, luekotrienes, prostaglandins, TNF,
Histamine causes: vasodilation by increasing space between cells
Seretonin increases: cell permeability
Bradykinin causes: vasodilation and pain
Leukotrienes are: an eicosanoid that promotes chemotaxis
Prostaglandins: are an eicosanoid that cause vasodilation and pain, supresses excessive inflammatory repsonse
TNF is: tumor necrosis factor, stimulates enzymes to produce eicosanoids
What events occur in the clotting effects? Margination leading to temporary platelet plug, enzyme X causes Prothrombin to convert to Thrombin, Thrombin stimulates fibrongen which in turn converts Fibrin. Fibrin replaces platelet plug as connective tissue.
what occurs during phagocytosis? Neutrophils arrive first, macrophages arrive later, stay longer, digest waste from dead cells
What events occur during the proliferation phase? (72hrs to 3wks) Debris is removed, tissue reconstruction/regeneration, type 3 collagen is laid down.
Maturation phase includes what events? Type 3 collagen is replaced by type 1, tissue strengthens (SAID principle)
The drug Singular affects what eiosanoid pathway? affects senthesis of leukotrienes
COX pathway leads to what synthesis? prostaglandin (causing swelling and pain)
Glucosteroids block what bening released? Phospholipids from cell membrane
Name a few NSAIDs Asprin (acetylsalicylic acid), Motrin, Aleve (naproxem) Indocin (Indomethacin) Vioxx, Taradol
How are NSAIDs effective? block COX pathway, inhibits chemotaxis
Dosage and actions of Asprin: 3000-6000mg/day; blocks COX pathway, anti-inlfamatory and reduces edema, analgesia
Adverse effects of Asprin: reduces platelet action (increased bleeding), GI upset, tinnitus and nasal irritation
Ibuprofen dosage and actions: 2400-3200mg daily; quick onset (15min) blocks COX and is anti-inflamm, less inhibition of platelets
Naproxen dosage and actions: 750-1000mg/ 2x daily; blocks COX pathway, used to treat migranes and joint inflammation (TMJ)
Adverse effects of Naproxen: increased GI bleed over Ibuprofen, caution with patients who have compromised kidneys
Indomethacin is used to treat: rhematoid arthritis, gout, supress uterine contractions in preterm labor
drug-drug interaction of NSAIDs: BP meds/antibiotics cause kidney damage, anticoagulant scause increased GI bleed, anti-epileptic cause decreased effectiveness of AED
Drugs classified as Glucosteroids: cortisone, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, prednisone
Glucosteroids: are naturally made by adrenal glands, inhbit; phospholipase, COX-2 pathway, TNF, Chemotaxis and protien synthesis
Intal is a ____ stabilizer: mast cell stabilizer, too many mast cells cause increased chemical mediators
Glucosteroids can be administered in what forms? oral , inhalant, IV, IM, IA, ionto and phonophoresis
Adverse effects of Glucosteroids inglude: decreased elasticity of tendons and ligaments, vasovagal sympathy, avascular necrosis of cartilage
Nuetrophils are presents when? first 6 hours
Lymphacystes release what? antibodies
macrophages arrive after the first___? 24 hours
Injury process: initial trauma (Phospholipids are released freeing acrhadonic acid), COX or lipoxygenase pathway, acute clotting mechanism, phagocytic cell accumulation, proliferation, maturation
What two chemicals cause pain? prostglandins and bradykinins
SAID principle: Specific adaptations to implied demands
5 signs of inflammation redness, swelling, pain, L.O.F., and increased temp

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
