Lecture 22

1.
What is anoxia?
Complete lack of O2
2.
What causes ischaemia?
Deficiency in blood flow, increase in blood demand
3.
Which organ is the most sensitive to ischaemia?
Neurons
4.
Which cells are the next most sensitive to ischaemia?= = Renal proximal convoluted tubule
5.
Which cells are moderately sensitive to ischaemia?
Myocardia
6.
Which cells are the next less sensitive to ischamia?
Skeletal muscle
7.
Which cells are not sensitve to ischaemia?
Fibroblasts, macrophages, neutrophils
8.
Which cells function better under ischaemia?
Neutrophils
9.
Why do neutrophils function well under hypoxia?
Hypoxia inducing factors
10.
What does activation of HIF create?
NF-kβ, increased survival of cells through less apoptosis and neutrophils
11.
How does moderate ischaemia change cells?
Decrease in ATP, increase signal cascades to reduce cell death
12.
How does hyposica affect cells?
Decrease in O2 -> decrease ATP -> decreased function of ATP pumps
13.
What is the result of an Na/K pump failure?
Increase Na and Ca ions in the cell leads to swelling
14.
What does a decrease in aerobic respiration result in?
Increase in anaerobic activity
15.
What is the result of increased anaerobic glycolysis?
Decrease pH
16.
What does a decrease in pH result in?
Chromatin clumping
17.
What else is affected by a decrease in ATP?
Decrease in protein synthasis, increase in lipid deposition
18.
What causes decrease in apoptosis?= =decrease in ATP (apoptosis requires energy)
19.
What process causes the most damage during anoxia?
Necrosis
20.
What process causes the next most damage during anoxia?
Apoptosis
21.
What process causes the least damage during anoxia?
Dysfunction
22.
What are the determinants of damage during occulusion ischaemia?
End organ vs collateral circulation, size of vessel, speed of onset, duration of occlusion, reperfusion, metabolic demand of oxygen
23.
What type of cell death is infarction?
Necrosis
24.
What can cause infarction?
Thrombosis, embolism, spasm, torsion, compression
25.
What is a red infarction?
Small amount of blood supplied to a dead tissue which haemorrhages
26.
What is a white infarct?
Solid tissue supplied by one artery
27.
What pattern of necrosis is the result of an infaction?
Coagulative
28.
29.
What is angina pectoris?
Pain in the chest during exercise
30.
What can chronic IHD lead to?
Myocardial infarction
31.
What is a transmural infarction?
Infarction of the full thickness of heart wall
32.
What other common injury is caused by atherosclerosis?
Cerebral ischaemic injury
33.
What happens within 24 hours of a myocardial infarction
Neutrophils invate from margins (acute inflammation)
34.
35.
What do macrophages do?
Secrete GFs to recruit fibroblast and endothelial cells (organisation)
36.
What do fibroblasts and endothelial cells do?
Neoangiogenesis, granulation
37.
What happens over the 6-8 wks following an MI?
fibrosis or regeneration
38.
What is the treatment for MIs?
Thrombolitic agents, stenting, angioplasty
39.
What complications result from MI?
Mural thrombi, dysrhythmia, heart failure, reperfusion injury
40.
41.
What does a decrease in aerobic respiration result in?
Increase in anaerobic activity
