NECROSIS -pathology notes

 NECROSIS 

DEFINITION:

  • Its defined as the morphological changes taking place in a tissue after cell death due to degradative action f enzymes on irreversibly injured cell.

TYPES OF NECROIS :

A)CASEOUS NECROSIS

B)LIQUEFACTIVE NECROSIS

C)COAGULATIVE NECROSIS

D)FIBRINIOD NECROSIS

E)FAT NECROSIS

F)GANGEROUS NECROSIS




CYTOPLASMIC CHANGES :

  • Increased eosinophilia of cytoplasm 
  • Vacuolation and moth eaten appearance of cytoplasm 
  • Calcification of cell membrane and intracellular structures 
  • Formation of myelin figures 

NUCLEAR CHANGES :

  • KARYOLYSIS : Fading of basophilia of nucleus
  • PYKNOSIS: Nuclear shrinkage due to condensation of chromatin 
  • KARYORRHEXIS -Nuclear fragmentation 

A)CASESOUS NECROSIS :

  • Its seen in tuberculosis and occurs due to both enzymatic degradation of tissue and denaturation of cellular proteins 
  • The tissue architecture is lost and replaced by soft ,creamy cheese like material 
  • Microscopically ,there is amorphous granular debris seen 
  • Examples : tuberculosis lymph node ,tuberculosis lung 

B)LIQUEFACTIVE NECROSIS :

  • Its caused by enzymatic degradation of tissue 
  • The tissue undergoing liquefactive necrosis undergoes softening with destruction of architecture and accumulation of semifluid pus.
  • The cellular outlines of cells in tissue are completely lost
  • Examples: cerebral abscess, spinal cord abscess



C)COAGULATIVE NECROSIS :

  • Its is caused by denaturation of intracellular protein 
  • The cellular outlines of necrosed tissue is maintained 
  • The organ undergoing coagulative necrosis have firm texture 
  • Examples: myocardial infraction, renal infarcts 

D)FIBRINOID NECROSIS :

  • It occurs in walls of blood vessel secondary to injury leading to insudation and accumulation of plasma proteins giving an eosinophilic hue
  • Examples: fibrinoid necrosis of blood vessel in immune and non-immune vasculitis 



F)FAT NECROSIS :

  • Its seen in adipose tissue and is characterized by grey white chalky deposits in fatty tissue 
  • Microscopically ,shadowy outlines of necrotic adipocytes with foreign body giant cells and basophilic calcification deposits are seen 
  • Types-
  • Traumatic fat necrosis seen in breast and buttocks following blunt trauma 
  • Enzymatic fat necrosis seen in acute pancreatitis





F)GANGRENOUS NECROSIS:

  • Its coagulative necrosis of tissue with superadded putrefaction by putrefactive bacteria example clostridium species 
  • Grossly ,the organ is grayish black in color and foul smelling 
  • Examples : intestinal gangrene. gangrene of fingers.

HELLO! DOCTOR VANAKAM, I hope you all are doing good today we will be discussing sterilization various methods of sterilization, about dry heat sterilization and moist heat sterilization along with different methods employed, and what are the materials to be placed in this method in detail about autoclave its principle, working and of course uses. As I have had already informed you all through my previous post on the contribution of Louis Pasteur and Koch postulates if we haven't checked it out yet do check it out using this link   https://www.stencildent.com/2020/07/contributions-of-louis-pasteur-and-koch.html  wherein I would explain the importance for the need of the HOUR and always to sterilize things to and from the patients and also get geared up for the next post on SHOCK wherein I would cover the definition, types, classification along with etiology, pathogenesis, flow chart, the complication of septic shock in detail so now without any further ado lets get starte...

                          HYPERSENSITIVITY   hello, doctor vanakam, I hope you all are doing good, as intimated through the last post on anaerobic culture method  https://www.stencildent.com/2020/08/anaerobic-culture-methods-microbiology.html  if u haven't checked it out do read using this link without any further ado lets get started. CONTENTS: 1)Definition 2)Classification 3)type 1 hypersensitivity reaction a)1st exposure b)2nd exposure c)mediators of reaction d)late-phase reaction 4)type 4 hypersensitivity 5)treatment  1)DEFINITION: It refers to a condition in which immune response results in excessive reaction leading to tissue damage, disease, or even death in a sensitised host. 2) CLASSIFICATION: Coomb and gel classification in 1963 into type 1 to 4  Type 1,    type 2, type 3       : They depend on the interaction of antigen with humoral antibodies They are the i...
