Learning Objectives 1. List examples of hypertrophy, hyperplasia, atrophy, hypoplasia, metaplasia and dysplasia 2. List examples of reversible and irreversible cell injury 3. Diagram abscess, granuloma, renal infarction and fat necrosis 4. List consequences of ATP loss 5. List consequences Ca++ increase and release
Pathology: the Study of Disease Etiology or cause: infection, genetic etc. and often mutifactoral Pathogenesis: progression of the disease (Molecular and Morphologic Changes) Clinical Manifestations: signs and symptoms
Cellular Adaptations Hypertrophy Hyperplasia Atrophy Metaplasia Dysplasia
HYPERTROPHY Increase in cell size with subsequent increase in organ size
Causes of Hypertrophy Increased functional demand Hormonal stimulation
Hypertrophy of Uterus During Pregnancy No new cells; Cells just bigger
HYPERPLASIA Increase in the number of cells in an organ which may then increase organ size. Physiologic or Pathologic
PHYSIOLOGIC HYPERPLASIA Hormonal hyperplasia- female breast at puberty and in pregnancy Compensatory hyperplasia- liver regeneration after partial resection
Causes of Pathologic Hyperplasia Excess hormone- endometrial hyperplasia due to estrogens
Hyperplasia is NOT a neoplastic process, but it may be fertlie soil for malignancy “Atypical Hyperplasia” in the endometrium carries an increased risk for development of endometrial adenocarcinoma
ATROPHY Decrease in the size of a cell or organ by loss of cell substance (both size and number)
Physiologic Atrophy • Normal development • Notochord • Thyroglossal duct • Uterus following childbirth
Causes of Pathologic Atrophy Decreased workload Loss of innervation Decreased blood supply Inadequate nutrition Loss of endocrine stimulation Pressure
* * **Central skeletal muscle bundle is atrophic
Atrophic Brain Normal Brain
Atrophy results from both… Decreased protein synthesis Increased protein degradation
Protein degradation is important in atrophy Lysosomes with hydrolytic enzymes The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
HYPOPLASIA Incomplete development of an organ so that it fails to reach adult size
Examples of Hypoplasia Hypoplastic Left Ventricle Hypoplastic Kidney
METAPLASIA A reversible change in which one ADULT cell type is replaced by another ADULT cell type
Metaplasia • Caused by: • Chronic irritation (cigarette smoke; calculi in ducts) • Vitamin A deficiency • Cervix- squamous epithelium of the endocervix replaces columnar (dysplasia and squamous CA may develop) • Barrett esophagus- gastric reflux results in columnar epithelium replacing squamous epithelium in the esophagus (dysplasia and adenocarcinoma may occur)
Hyperplasia and Metaplasia are not premalignant changes, however they are “fertile fields” for Dysplasia which is a premalignant change
DYSPLASIA Atypical proliferative changes due to chronic irritation or inflammation; Premalignant change
DYSPLASIA IN THE CERVIX Mild dysplasia Moderate dysplasia Marked dysplasia
CELL INJURY PRINCIPLES The cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on the type of injury, its duration and its severity. The consequences of cell injury depend on the type, state, and adaptability of the injured cell Cell injury results from different biochemical mechanisms acting on several essential cellular components
1. The cellular response to injurious stimuli depends on the type of injury, its duration and its severity.
Cellular Changes Secondary to Injury REVERSIBLE • Cellular swelling • Cell membrane blebs • Detached ribosomes • Chromatin clumping IRREVERSIBLE • Lysosomes rupture • Dense bodies in mitochondria • Cell membrane rupture • Karyolysis, karyorrhexis, pyknosis
Myocardial Infarction Markers Cardiac specific enzymes and proteins appear in serum within 2 hours post infarction Morphologic (light microscopic) changes in 4-12 hours
Normal Myocardium Coagulation Necrosis at 24-48 hours post MI
