🗑

🗑
Reversible hypoxia steps   show
🗑
show 1. Degranulation of RER (loss of ribosomes) 2. Moderate to severe mitochondrial swelling  
🗑
Irreversible ischemic injury steps   show
🗑
show condensation of molecular material (calcium sink in mitochondria leads to mineralization and dissolution)  
🗑
Irreversible injury: karyorrhexis   show
🗑
show dissolution of cell nucleus  
🗑
show continued cell death following reperfusion. 1. cells are structurally intact but have lethal functional changes; 2. new injuring processes are initiated; perhaps elaboration of ROS  
🗑
Reactive Oxygen Species (5)   show
🗑
show Pro-oxidative: transition metals (Fe or Cu) catalyze reactions generating reactive oxygen species (OH. and OH-) (hemostasis during surgery can increase Fe in tissue and cause oxidative injury)  
🗑
show Pro-oxidative: antioxidant defenses are overwhelmed, superoxide and hydrogen peroxide interact to form hydroxyl radical (OH.) and hydroxide (OH-)  
🗑
show Inactivates superoxide (forming H2O2 + O2), preventing ROS damage. 1. Mg SO in mitochondria; 2. Cu Zn SOD in cytosol  
🗑
show Inactivates H2O2 --> O2 + 2H2O  
🗑
show Inactivates H2O2 and hydroxyl radical (GSSG (disulfide bond) + 2H2O) - can measure glutathione to assess oxidative stress  
🗑
show Vitamin A, E (membrane antioxidant - prevents lipid peroxidation), C (water soluble); Caeruloplasmin (binds Cu2+); transferrin, lactoferrin, ferritin, hemosiderin (iron bound by protein prevents Fenton Rxn)  
🗑
4 morphologic patterns of necrosis   show
🗑

🗑
Coagulative necrosis: histo   show
🗑

🗑
Liquefactive necrosis: gross   show
🗑
Liquefactive necrosis: histo   show
🗑
Liquefactive necrosis: cause   show
🗑
Caseous necrosis: gross   show
🗑
Caseous necrosis: histo   show
🗑
show specific immuno-pathologic phenomenon; mycobacterial cell walls  
🗑
show chalky or mineralized  
🗑
show lightly basophilic, smudgy saponified material, sometimes with granulomatous inflammation  
🗑
Fat necrosis: cause   show
🗑
show ischemia  
🗑
Gangrene: typical location   show
🗑
show coagulative  
🗑
show liquefactive, with tissue digestion by opportunistic bacteria (often w/ gas production)  
🗑
show "rotting"- enzymatic degradation and protein denaturation by host enzymes (typically w/ microbial enzyme involvement)  
🗑
show adrenal, CNS, liver, gut  
🗑
Rigor mortis: influencing factors   show
🗑
show microscopic appearance = eosinophilic, homogeneous, glassy material (intracellular or extracellular)  
🗑
Extracellular protein deposits: three examples   show
🗑
show any protein with fibrils measuring 7.5-10.0nm with a beta-pleated sheet configuration will take on the histologic appearance referred to as "amyloid" (aka "beta-fibrilloses")  
🗑
amyloid: morphology   show
🗑
AL amyloid   show
🗑
AA amyloid   show
🗑
AF amyloid   show
🗑
show formed from a variety of hormone and hormone-like receptors  
🗑
Lipofuscin (pigment)   show
🗑
show "antracosis" - lung, urban environments, incidental  
🗑
biological pigments   show
🗑
acid-hematin (pigment)   show
🗑
show incidental pigmentation of tissues in pigmented animals; pleura and meninges most commonly infected  
🗑
show chronically inflamed skin  
🗑
show postmortem artifact: production of hydrogen sulfide by bacteria with subsequent reaction with iron in hemoglobin to form insoluble iron sulfide (particularly seen in peritoneal and retroperitoneal cavity due to high levels of bacteria in gut)  
🗑
hemosiderin (pigment)   show
🗑
show light yellow variant of hemosiderin that occurs during wound resolution as iron is removed from hemosiderin by macrophages  
🗑
show greenish yellow pigment, usually not granular; seen within hepatocytes, bile canaliculi, and renal tubular epithelium  
🗑
show mineralization of dead or dying cells; membrane vesicles form as cell membranes break down and these serve as a nidus for mineral deposition (often seen w/ granulomatous inflammation w/ casseation, e.g. TB)  
🗑
metastatic calcification   show
🗑
metastatic calcification: causes   show
🗑
show passive, degradative, from fatal cell injury

🗑
apoptosis - perforin/granzyme pathway   show
🗑
show 1. damage to DNA results in elaboration of p53 (proofreading enzyme) 2. p53 stops cell cycles to allow DNA repair 4. if DNA damage is too great, p53 initiates apoptosis
