2. INFLAMMATION

INFLAMMATION is a complex local vascular–mesenchymal
reaction to tissue damage by various agents aimed at eliminating the
agent and preserving the integrity of the organism
Classification of inflammation:
• According to duration:
- acute (few minutes - 1 or 1,5 weeks)
- subacute (1,5 week – 1 or 1,5 month)
- chronic (1,5 month – several years)
• According to predominans of the inflammation phase:
- exudative
- proliferative (productive)

ETIOLOGY OF INFLAMMATION
Biologic agents: viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, immunologic
factors (antibodies, immune complexes, activated lymphocytes) &
so on.
Physical agents: radiation, electricity, high & low temperature,
trauma, foreign body.
Chemical agents: endotoxins, exotoxins, poisons, drags & so on.
Unknown factors

5. STEPS OF INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS

PHASES OF INFLAMMATION :
• Alteration (injury)
• Exudation
• Proliferation
The external manifestations of
inflammation,
often
called
its
cardinals signs, are fever (calor),
hyperemia (rubor), swelling (tumor),
pain (dolor), and loss of function.

6. ALTERATION

It is the initial phase of inflammation. It is characterized by the release of
inflammatory mediators - biological active substances that provide chemical
and molecular connections between processes in the inflammatory focus.
ALTERATION:
• PRIMARY - it develops immediately after the direct action of the etiological
factor and is formed at the level of cells and subcellular structures
• SECONDARY - due to the action of lysosomal enzymes activating the
processes of glycolysis, lipolysis and proteolysis.
MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES
DYSTROPHY
(mucoid,
fibrinoid
swelling);
NECROSIS.
BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES
Activation of lysosomal enzymes;
Release of chemical mediators of
inflammation.

7. PRIMARY ALTERATION

Damage to cell membrane
Disruption of cell pumps (K/Na; K/Ca;
H/OH)
MECHANISMS:
• Damage to cell membrane;
• Damage to mitochondria;
• Damage to lysosomes.
Disruption of ion metabolism
Diffuse changes in enzymatic systems
Damage to mitochondria. Activity of
Krebs cycle enzymes is inhibited. ATP
synthesis decreases. The glycolysis
process is stimulated.
Damage to lysosomes
SECONDARY ALTERATION

8. SECONDARY ALTERATION

Lysosomal enzymes
Accumulation of breakdown products of fat and carbohydrate metabolism
Tissue acidosis
Accumulation of biological active substances – inflammatory mediators
PLASMA MEDIATORS :
kallikrein-kinin system: Kallikrein,
Kinins
(bradykinin);
complement system (C5a, C3a, C3b, complex C
5 a - Usa);
blood coagulation system
(Hageman
factor);
fibrinolytic blood system
CELLULAR MEDIATORS :
vasoactive amines: Histamine, Serotonin;
arachidonic acid metabolites: Prostaglandins,
Leukotrienes;
FAT ( Platelet activation factor);
cytokines: IL-1, TNF (a, b), IL-8, g-interferon;
the contents of lysosomes.

9. EXUDATION. STAGES.

The reaction of the microcirculatory bed with a
violation of the rheological properties of the blood
increased vascular permeability at the level of the
microcirculatory bed
exudation of blood plasma components
emigration of blood formed elements
phagocytosis
formation of exudate and inflammatory cellular
infiltrate

10. FORMATION OF EXUDATE

11. Process of leukocyte migration through blood vessels

• interendothelial
• transendothelial (T – lymphocytes)

12. FAGOCYTOSIS

13. PROLIFERATION

Proliferation is the final phase of inflammation, aimed at restoring the
damaged tissue. In the focus of inflammation, cells multiply, differentiate and
transform in to another types (f.e. macrophages

Pirogov-Langhans cell)

ACUTE INFLAMMATION
The morphologic hallmarks of acute inflammatory reactions are dilation
of small blood vessels and accumulation of leukocytes and fluid in the
extravascular tissue.

15. EXUDATIVE INFLAMMATION

EXUDATIVE INFLAMMATION is the type of inflammation, characterized by
predominance of exudation over alteration & proliferation.
It occurs as a consequence of severe injuries, with result to greater
vascular permeability to allow larger molecules (specifically fibrinogen) to
pass the endothelial barrier.
TYPES OF EXUDATIVE INFLAMMATION :
serous;
fibrinous;
purulent;
hemorrhagic;
rotten (putrid);
catarrhal;
mixed.
TYPE OF INFLAMMATION DEPENDS ON :
• Severity of injury;
• Vascular of injuring permeability;
• Type of injuring agent;
• Prolongation of its influence.
Exudative inflammation usually is acute,
but purulent & catarrhal inflammation
may be acute or chronic.

16. SEROUS INFLAMMATION

Serous inflammation is marked by the accumulation of serum -like
protein-rich exudates in body cavities lined by the peritoneum, pleura, or
pericardium or spaces created by tissue injury.
Exudate contains fluid, up to 2% proteins, a few cells (neutrophils,
macrophages, epithelium.
APPEARES:
• on the serous membranes (rheumatic fever, uremia);
• on the mucous membranes;
• skin;
• Meninges;
• peripheral nerves;
• parenchymal organs.
ETHIOLOGY:
• streptococcus (erysipelas);
• viral infections (chicken pox, natural small pox, herpetic fever);
• thermal and chemical factors.
OUTCOMES:
• resorption of exudate;
• transition to purulent or fibrinous inflammation;
• Sclerosis or Hyalinosis.
