:
1.
What is the role of histamine, cytokines and kinins in inflammation?
Histamine actions -cause temporary, rapid constriction of smooth muscle
- dilation of the postcapillary venules, which results in increased blood flow into the microcirculation.
-increased vascular permeability resulting from retraction of endothelial cells lining the capillaries - increased adherence of leukocytes to the endothelium
Cytokines -
constitute a large family of small-molecular-weight soluble intercellular-signalling molecules that are secreted, bind to specific cell membrane receptors, and regulate innate or adaptive immunity
Cytokines may be either proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory in nature, depending on whether they tend to
induce or inhibit the inflammatory response
lymphokines
-cytokines secreted from lymphocytes Monokines
-cytokines secreted from monocytes Developed by N2112 Teaching Team
5
Chemokines
- cytokines that are chemotactic and primarily attract leukocytes to sites of inflammation.
TNF-α
-proinflammatory cytokines
Some cytokines are anti-inflammatory and diminish the inflammatory response
-
interleukin-10 - transforming growth factor-beta
Interleukin-10 (IL-10
-
produced by lymphocytes - suppresses the growth of other lymphocytes and the production of proinflammatory cytokines by macrophages, leading to downregulation of both inflammatory and acquired immune responses
Transforming growth factors
- including transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β)
-are produced by many cells in response to inflammation and induce cell division and differentiation of other
cell types, such as immature blood cells.
Interferons (IFNs)
-members of a family of cytokines that protect against viral infections -modulate the inflammatory response
Type I interferons
-primarily IFN-α, IFN-β
- produced and released by virally infected cells in response to viral double-stranded RNA and other viral PAMPs
- These IFNs do not kill viruses directly but instead are secreted and induce antiviral proteins and protection
in neighbouring healthy cells
Type II interferon
-(IFN-γ) - produced primarily by lymphocytes
-it activates macrophages, resulting in increased capacity to kill infectious agents (including viruses and bacteria)
- enhances the development of acquired immune responses against viruses.
Developed by N2112 Teaching Team
6
Fever is partially induced by specific cytokines
-e.g., IL-1, released from neutrophils and macrophages
- These cytokines are known as endogenous pyrogens
Kinins
-increase vascular dilations and permeability - attract neutrophils to the area
2.
What is the sequence of events in the inflammatory process?
Three key plasma protein systems are essential to an effective inflammatory response
- the complement system
- the clotting system
-the kinin system
Complement System
Activation of the complement system causes
-produces several factors that can destroy pathogens directly - can activate or increase the activity of many other components of the inflammatory and adaptive immune response
The most important function of the complement cascade is activation of C3 and C5, which results in
-a variety of molecules that are (1) opsonins, (2) chemotactic factors, or (3) anaphylatoxins
Opsonins
-coat the surface of bacteria and increase their susceptibility to being phagocytized (eaten) and killed by inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils and macrophage
Chemotactic factors
-
diffuse from a site of inflammation - attract phagocytic cells to that site
Anaphylatoxins
-induce rapid degranulation of mast cells (i.e., release of histamine that induces vasodilation and increased capillary permeability), a major cellular component of inflammation
most potent complement products are -
C3b (opsonin)

THE NERVOUS/NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM
Client Profile: Mrs. Seaborn is a 43-year-old woman who presents to the emergency department
with complaints of weakness of the left side of her face. She is married and is an interior decorator
who owns her own business. Earlier today she was working at a client's home when she started to
have increased facial weakness and was unable to taste her lunch. She states a history of two days of
numbness in her forehead.
Case Study: Mrs. Seaborn's vital signs are temperature 98.2°F, blood pressure 148/60, pulse 83,
and respiratory rate of 26. She is fearful, crying, and states, "My mother died of a stroke, I am sure that
is what is going on. Am I going to die?" She complains of pain behind and in front of her left ear. She is
exhibiting unilateral facial paralysis. Her left eye is drooping and she says it feels dry. Her inability to
raise her eyebrow, puff out her cheeks, frown, smile or wrinkle her forehead is…

Mr. McArthur is hospitalized with pancreatitis and cholecystitis. Neither his gallbladdernor his
pancreas are functioning normally at this time. The client is placed on a NPO (nothing by mouth)
diet order, given intravenous fluids and pain medication. The nurse is aware that the pancreas has
two functions: one being endocrine, secretion of hormones to assist with glucose control and the
other being exocrine, aiding the digestive system. Mr. McArthur is scheduled for gallbladder
removal in the morning to treat the cholecystitis. (Learning Objective 4)
