Next I will introduce the last part of this chapter
Infarction
Infarction refers to the ischemic necrosis of tissue caused by artery occlusion
The main causes of infarction are
Internal plug external pressure and spasm
In addition effective collateral circulation cannot be established in time
which may also cause infarction
The conditions of infarction are as follows
Interruption of arterial blood supply
types of blood supply vessels
dual or single blood circulation supply
sensitivity of local tissue to ischemia
All these factors above together determine whether the infarction occurs
Let's look at the pathological changes of infarction
and characteristics of gross specimens
There are three main aspects
shape texture and color
Let's look at the shape of the infarction
different organs have different shapes of infarction
The Infarcts of spleen kidney lung and some other organs are triangular or pyramidal
The infarct area of myocardium is in the shape of map
The infarct of intestine is segmental
These differences are related to the distribution of blood vessels
The blood vessels of the spleen kidney and lung are fan-shaped
the branches of the coronary artery of the heart are irregular
and the branches of the mesenteric artery are staggered
Therefore
different organs have different shapes of infarction
Let's look at the texture of the infarction
There are two types of infarct texture
One kind is hard which is called coagulative necrosis
It usually occurs in dense organs
such as heart spleen and kidney
The other is liquefied necrosis
It usually occurs in soft organs
as brain
According to the color of infarction
It can be divided into hemorrhagic infarction and anemia infarction
Microscopically
the main feature of infarction is necrosis of tissue and cells
In the early stage the contour of tissue and cell is preserved
and in the later stage it is replaced by granulation tissue
There are three types of infarction
anemic infarction hemorrhagic infarction and septic infarction
Now I'd like to introduce them one by one
First look at anemic infarctions
It occurs in the parenchymal organs with dense tissue structure
and inadequate collateral circulation
such as spleen and kidney
It is formed under the condition of
ischemia and anoxia of local tissues when the branches of arteries are blocked
In this picture we can see the structure of the normal spleen
The distribution of the white pulp and red pulp of the spleen is very clear
In the case of anemia infarction
although the outline of the tissue remains at the bottom of the picture
the cell components with nuclei are completely missing
instead of the only remaining cell outline
In the cytoplasm we can see the homogeneous red stained coagulative dead object
which is the common manifestation of anemia infarction under the microscope
This picture also shows the anemic infarct of the spleen
At the bottom right of the picture is the outline of the remaining cells
The nucleated cells disappear
This is also the microscopic feature of the anemia infarction
This is the gross manifestation of splenic anemia infarction
The appearance of the infarct is triangular or trapezoid
with the bottom pointing to the capsule
and the tip pointing to the hilum of the spleen
The kidney is an organ prone to anemic infarction
This picture shows the histology of the normal kidney
We can see that
the glomerulus proximal and distal convoluted tubules are in regular arrangement
After the occurrence of anemia infarction
the glomerulus and the surrounding renal tubules
all have homogeneous red stained necrosis
but the structural outline remains
and the nuclear cell components disappear
which is the microscopic feature of anemia infarction
These pictures are all anemic infarctions of the kidney
In the picture of gross specimens the infarct is triangular
and the same as the anemic infarctions of the spleen
with the bottom pointing to the capsule
and the tip pointing to the renal hilum
These pictures are the same
Next let's talk about hemorrhagic infarction
Hemorrhagic infarction usually occurs in the organs with double blood supply
The tissue structure of this organ is loose
and often has a background of high congestion
Common hemorrhagic infarction includes pulmonary hemorrhagic infarction
and intestinal hemorrhagic infarction
We can see that this is a hemorrhagic infarction of the lung
The area indicated by the green arrow
has infarction above
and congestion below
This picture is also a hemorrhagic infarction of the lung
The infarct is wedge-shaped or triangular
Both pictures show triangular infarcts at the bottom of the specimen
This is a histological picture
We can see
a hemorrhagic pulmonary infarction on the right side
There is a lot of bleeding in the alveolus cavity
The nucleated cells in the alveolus septum disappear
Septic infarction often occurs in sepsis
Embolus with bacterial clusters form abscesses in multiple organs
The common source of embolus is acute infective endocarditis
The result of infarction and its effects on the body
depend mainly on the infarction organ
the location of infarction
the area of infarction
and the tolerance of tissue to ischemia and hypoxia
The result of infarction
is generally divided into
dissolution absorption
mechanization encapsulation and calcification
That's all for this chapter
