DEFINITIONS HARSH MOHAN: Inflammation is the local response of living mammalian tissues to injury due to any agent. It is a body defense reaction in order to eliminate or limit the spread of injurious agent. KIETH L KIRKWOOD (CARRANZA) Inflammation is an observable alteration in tissues associated with changes in vascular permeability and dilation, often with infiltration of leukocytes into affected tissues . N.C.DEY & T.K.DEY: Inflammation is a series of pathological changes associated with Local vascular reaction and cellular response of the living tissue to an injury, insufficient to kill the tissue.
Depending upon the defence capacity of the host & duration of response ACUTE CHRONIC Short duration > 2 weeks Early body reaction Resloves quickly Longer duration Occurs after causative agent of acute inflammation persist for long time/chronic inflammation from begining
The main features of acute inflammation are: 1. accumulation of fluid and plasma at the affected site 2. intravascular activation of platelets and 3. polymorphonuclear neutrophils as inflammatory cells. ACUTE INFLAMMATION
Lewis Experiment Also known as TRIPLE RESPONSE or RED LINE RESPONSE
B. Altered vascular permeability
Inflammed tissue -accumulation of oedema fluid in interstitial compartment Starling’s hypothesis
MECHANISMS OF INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY
II . CELLULAR EVENTS The cellular phase of inflammation consists of 2 processes: exudation of leucocytes; and phagocytosis
Exudation of leucocytes PMNs Monocytes & Macrophages
The changes leading to migration of leucocytes are as follows : 1.CHANGES IN THE FORMED ELEMENTS OF BLOOD 2. ROLLING AND ADHESION. 3. EMIGRATION 4. CHEMOTAXIS
selectins Selectins are expressed on the surface of activated endothelial cells which recognise specific carbohydrate groups found on the surface of neutrophils, the most important of which is s-Lewis X molecule.
INTEGRINS
Immunoglobulin gene superfamily adhesion molecule Tighter adhesion & stabilise the interaction between leucocyte & endothelial cells. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) Platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1) CD31 activated by TNF& IL-1 Involved in margination
Emigration
Diapedesis simultaneous to emigration of leukocytes- diapedesis of red cells between endothelial cells takes place Passive phenomenon Forced out – increased hydrostatic pressure or escape after emigration gives haemorrhagic appearance to exudate
Chemotaxis The chemotactic factor-mediated transmigration of leucocytes after crossing several barriers to reach the interstitial tissues is called chemotaxis.
Phagocytosis Phagocytosis is defined as the process of engulfment of solid particulate material by the cells (cell-eating). The cells performing this function are called phagocytes
There are 2 main types of phagocytic cells: i ) Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) ii) Circulating monocytes and fixed tissue mononuclear phagocytes, commonly called as macrophages
2.Engulfment stage:- Binding of opsonised particle -engulfment with cytoplasmic pseudopods-Phagocytic vacuole- phagolysosome formation.
Preformed granules-stored products of PMNs are discharged or secreted into phagosome/ECM Synthesis of certain enzymes (IL2 , IL6, TNF)AA metabolites and Oxygen metabolites. 3.Killing & degradation :
killing of microorganism Intracellular mechanisms: Oxidative bactericidal mechanism by oxygen free radical. MPO-dependent MPO-independent Oxidative bactericidal mechanism by lysosomal granules. Non-oxidative bactericidal mechanism Granules Nitric oxide dependent
Histamine physical injury- trauma or heat Anaphylatoxins ; C3a and C5a Neutrophils , monocytes &platelets cytokines (e.g., IL-1 and IL-8) Derived from- Mast cells, basophils and platelets
5-HT or Serotonin- Derived from- cromaffin cells of GIT , spleen, nervous tiss52ue, mast cells and platelets. Actions of 5-HT are similar to histamine but it is a less potent mediator of increased vascular permeability and vasodilatation than histamine. It may be mentioned here that carcinoid tumour is a serotonin-secreting tumour .
2)Arachidonic acid metabolites (Eicosanoids) i . Metabolites via cyclo -oxygenase pathway ii. Metabolites via lipo -oxygenase pathway
Metabolites via cyclo -oxygenase pathway
Metabolites via lipo -oxygenase pathway
3 . Lysosomal components Neutrophils and monocytes, contain lysosomal granules which on release elaborate a variety of mediators of inflammation. Granules of neutrophils Granules of monocytes and tissue macrophages
4) Platelet Activating Factor(PAF) It is released from: IgE -sensitised basophils or mast cells, other leucocytes, endothelium and platelets .
5. CYTOKINES Cytokines are polypeptide products of activated lymphocytes ( lymphokines ) and monocytes ( monokines ) that modulate the function of other cell types. Many cell types produce multiple cytokines pleiotropic-different cells are affected differently by the same cytokines redundant in that the same activity may be induced by many different cytokines
Cytokines may be roughly grouped into five classes based on their actions or target cells. Regulate lymphocyte function e.g., IL-2, and TGF . Involved in innate immunity, like TNF and IL-1. Activate inflammatory cells like IFN- and IL-2. Chemotactic activity for various leukocytes. Stimulate hematopoiesis, like granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-3.
6) Free Radical :Oxygen Metabolites and Nitric Oxide
Inflammation Part 2
Many of the effects of inflammation are mediated by 4 interrelated plasma-derived factors: The Kinin system The Clotting system The Fibrinolytic system The Complement system – all 4 systems are linked by the initial activation of Hageman factor II. Plasma-derived Mediators (Plasma Proteases)
The Kinin System
The Clotting System
The Fibrinolytic System
The Complement System
Activation of Complement System alternate pathway classic pathway

Fate of inflammation
Chronic Inflammation Chronic inflammation is of prolonged duration in which active inflammation, tissue injury, and healing proceed simultaneously. Characterized by : Infiltration with mononuclear cells, including macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. Tissue destruction, largely directed by the inflammatory cells. Repair, involving angiogenesis and fibrosis.
Follows acute inflammation Chronic inflammation starting de novo Recurrent attacks of acute inflammation Causes of chronic inflammation
Periodontal inflammation Inflammatory response of periodontium can be divided into 2 main groups Subgingival microflora (i.e. microbial virulence factor) Host immune-inflammatory response
(Tsai et al 1979) (Slots & Genco 1984) (Jansen et al 1995) ( Aduse -Opoku et al 1995)
Inflammation is a major & first event which takes place during any alteration in the body tissue, indicating a need of the treatment for the altered condition. Indeed the survival of the individual depends upon the ability of his or her normal cells to respond to altered condition. Without it none of us would be alive. Conclusion
