Question
Answer
What are some arachidonic acid metabolites?   prostaglandins & leukotrienes  
🗑
What do prostaglandins do?   vasoconstrict or vasodilate, involved in pain and fever  
🗑
What do leuktotrienes do?   increase vasular permability, vasoconstrict, leukocyt adhesion & chemotaxis  
🗑
What is platelet activating factor synthesized by?   platelets, leukocytes, endothelium  
🗑
What are some inflammatory effects of platelet activating factor?   stimulates platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction & bronchoconstriction, vasodilation and increased venular permeability  
🗑
What are some more inflammatory effects of platelet activating factor?   increased leukocyte adhesion, chemotaxis, degranulation, and oxidative burst, increases synthesis of arachidonic acid metabolites  
🗑
Cytokines   proteins produced by many cell types (principally by activated lymphocytes and macrophages)  
🗑
What do cytokines do?   modulate the function of other cell types?  
🗑
What are the major cytokines that mediate inflammation?   Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)  
🗑
Chemokines   small proteins that act as chemoattractants for specific types of leukocytes (~40)  
🗑
What do chemokines do?   stimulate leukocyte recruitment in inflammation  
🗑
What else do chemokines do?   contral normal migration of cells through tissues  
🗑
What are examples of chemokines?   IL-8, eotaxin, lymphotactin  
🗑
Neuropeptides   Substance P and neurokinin A  
🗑
Where are neuropeptides produced?   central and peripheral nervous systems  
🗑
Where are substance P nerve fibers prominent?   in lung and GI tract  
🗑
What are neuropeptides mechanisms of action?   vasodilation and increased vascular permeability  
🗑
Neutrophil granules   Cationic proteins increase vascular permeability, immobilze neutrophils, chemotactic for mononuclear phagocytes, and more  
🗑
How are oxygen-derived free radicals produced?   during phagocytosis by neutrophils "respiratory burst"  
🗑
What do oxygen-derived free radicals cause?   tissue damage including endothelium  
🗑
What inflammatory mediators are involved in vasodilation?   prostaglandins & nitric oxide  
🗑
Histamine and serotonin cause what response in inflammation?   increased vascular permeability  
🗑
Complement (C3a, C5a) causes what response in inflammation?   increased vascular permeability  
🗑
Bradykinin and leukotrienes (C4, D4, E4) cause what response in inflammation?   increased vascular permeability  
🗑
PAF, nitric oxide, substance P and oxygen metabolites cause what response in inflammation?   increased vascular permeability  
🗑
Complement (C5a), leukotriene B4, chemokines and nitric oxide cause what response in inflammation?   chemotaxis, leukocyte activation  
🗑
Interleukin-1, TNF, and prostaglandins cause what response in inflammation?   fever  
🗑
Prostaglandins and bradykinin cause what response in inflammation?   pain  
🗑
neutrophil & macrophage lysosomal enzymes, O2 metabolites and nitric oxide cause what response in inflammation?   tissue damage  
🗑
Wound healing   a complex but orderly process involving many chemical mediators and other growth facotrs, as well as cell-matrix interactions  
🗑
Step 1 in wound healing   injury induces acute inflammation  
🗑
Step 2 in wound healing   parenchymal cells regenerate  
🗑
Step 3 in wound healing   both parenchymal and connective tissue cells migrate and proliferate  
🗑
Step 4 in wound healing   extracellular matrix is produced  
🗑
Step 5 in wound healing   parenchyma and connective tissue matrix remodel  
🗑
Step 6 in wound healing   increase in wound strength due to collagen deposition  
🗑
What is the "hallmark of healing"?   granulation tissue  
🗑
"Granulation tissue" term comes from what?   soft, pink, granular appearance when viewed from the surface of a wound  
🗑
Histology of granulation tissue   proliferation of small blood vessels and fibroblasts, tissue often edematous  
🗑
Summary - acute inflmmation   neutrophils are pathognomonic  
🗑
Summary - chronic inflammation   plasma cells are pathognomonic  
🗑
Granulomatous inflammation   epitheliod macrophages are pathognomonic  
🗑
