Thrombosis

The most common cause of infarction. Mainly seen in coronary artery Cerebral atherosclerosis Caused by thrombosis miocardial infarction And cerebral infarction. Thrombotic Instep artery Obliterative angiitis May cause foot infarction. Intravenous Thrombosis Generally only causes blood stasis , edema, but Mesenteric vein Thrombosis can cause the infarction of the venous drainage intestinal segment.

Arterial embolism

Mostly Thromboembolism , or gas amniotic fluid fat embolism , often caused spleen , kidney, lung and brain infarction.

vessel pressed

See at Extravascular Tumor compression, Volvulus intussusception and Incarcerated hernia Hour Mesenteric vein And arterial compression, oophoritic cyst Torsion and Testicular torsion Necrosis caused by compression of blood vessels.

Arterial spasm

as atherosclerosis When, Angiogenesis Persistent convulsions can cause miocardial infarction

Conditions for infarct formation

Failure to establish effective collateral circulation
The formation of infarction mainly depends on whether effective Collateral circulation For the liver and lung with double blood circulation, after the blood vessel is blocked, it is not easy to have infarction through the compensation of collateral circulation. Some organs have few anastomotic branches, such as kidney, spleen, brain and artery Rapid occurrence Infarction often occurs when occlusion occurs.
Local ischemia Tolerance And systemic blood circulation
The tolerance of local tissues to ischemia and the state of systemic blood circulation. If myocardial and brain tissue are sensitive to hypoxia, transient ischemia can also cause infarction. Whole body blood circulation anemia or Cardiac insufficiency It can promote the occurrence of infarction.

Infarction in general morphological character
Infarction is limited Tissue necrosis
The shape of the infarct depends on the vascular distribution of the organ. The blood vessels of most organs are conical branches, such as spleen, kidney, lung, etc., so the infarct focus is also conical, and the section is wedge-shaped, or triangle Its tip is located at the place where the blood vessel is blocked, and its bottom is the surface of the organ. heart coronary artery The branches are irregular, so the infarct is map shaped. mesentery The blood vessels were fan-shaped branches, so the intestinal infarction was segmental.
The infarct of heart, kidney, spleen and liver is Coagulative necrosis The necrotic tissue is dry, hard and surface subsidence. cerebral infarction by Liquefactive necrosis It is soft and loose when fresh, and can be liquefied into capsule cavity after a long time.
The color of the infarction depends on the blood content in the focus. When the blood content is low, the color is gray, which is called Anemic infarction (anemic infarct)。 When the blood content is high, the color is dark red, which is called Hemorrhagic infarction (hemorrhagic infarct)。
Infarction type
Anemic infarction of spleen
According to the amount of blood in the infarct and whether there is bacterial infection, the infarct can be divided into the following three types. [1]
1. Anemic infarction : Occurs on organization structure Dense Collateral circulation Inadequate parenchymal organs such as spleen, kidney, myocardium and Brain tissue When the infarct focus is formed, the blood in the collateral vessels at the edge of the focus enters less necrotic tissue, and the infarct focus is grayish white, so it is called anemic infarction (also called White infarct )。 It occurs in the spleen Renal infarction The focus is conical, with the tip toward the part where the blood vessel is blocked, and the bottom near the surface of the organ, Serous membrane The surface is often covered with a small amount of cellulosic exudate. miocardial infarction The focus is irregular map. In the early stage of infarction, the border between the infarct and the normal tissue inflammatory reaction A congestive bleeding zone is common, and several days later red blood cell cover macrophage After phagocytosis, it turns into Hemosiderin And become yellowish brown. In the late stage, the surface of the lesion subsided, the texture became firm, and the yellowish brown bleeding zone disappeared granulation tissue And scar tissue. Microscopically ischemia nature Coagulative necrosis Change, visible in early infarction Nuclear pyknosis , nuclear fragmentation, nuclear lysis and other changes, the cytoplasm was uniform red, and the outline of the tissue structure was preserved (such as renal infarction). In the late stage, the lesions showed a homogeneous structure with red staining, and granulation tissue and scar tissue formed at the edge. In addition, cerebral infarction is generally Anemic infarction The necrotic tissue often becomes soft and liquefied, without structure.
2. Hemorrhagic infarction Commonly seen in lungs, intestines, etc., with dual blood circulation , loose tissue structure with severe Congestion In case of massive hemorrhage in the infarct, it is called hemorrhagic infarction, also called Red infarct ,(red infarct)。
Conditions of hemorrhagic infarction : ① Severe congestion. as Pulmonary congestion , Yes Pulmonary infarction Importance of formation precondition Because in the case of pulmonary congestion, pulmonary vein and blood capillary The increase of internal pressure affects pulmonary artery Establish effective pulmonary artery and Bronchial artery Collateral circulation , causing hemorrhagic infarction of lung; oophoritic cyst or tumour In the ovary pedicle Twist Venous reflux If it is obstructed, the arterial blood supply will be gradually reduced or even stopped, causing ovarian cyst or tumor infarction. ② Organ tissue structure is loose. The tissues of intestine and lung are relatively loose, and the lung can be accommodated in the tissue gap at the beginning of infarction Hemorrhagic infarction
Hemorrhagic infarction of lung
Common types: ① Pulmonary hemorrhagic infarction: its focus is usually located in the lung Inferior lobe , which is more likely to occur at the costophrenic margin. It is often multiple, and the lesions are of different sizes, conical and wedge-shaped, with the tip facing Hilum of lung The bottom is close to the lung membrane, and there is cellulose exudate on the lung membrane surface. The infarct focus is solid due to Diffuse The bleeding is dark red, slightly protruding to the surface, and over time, due to the disintegration of red blood cells granulation tissue When it grows in, the infarct becomes gray white, and the surface of the lesion subsides locally. Microscopically, the infarct is shown Coagulative necrosis , visible Alveoli Outline, alveolar cavity, small branch airway cavity and Pulmonary interstitium Full of red blood cells. The early red blood cell contour was still preserved, and later disintegrated. Congestion, edema and hemorrhage of the lung tissue at the border of the infarct and normal lung tissue. Clinically possible Chest pain cough and hemoptysis fever and white blood cell The total number of symptoms increased. ② intestines Hemorrhagic infarction : More common in mesenteric arterial embolish and Venous thrombosis , or on intussusception Volvulus Incarcerated hernia Hemorrhagic infarction caused by tumor compression. The intestinal infarct was segmental dark red. Intestinal parietal factor blood stasis , edema and bleeding were significantly thickened Intestinal wall necrosis , crispy and easily broken, intestines Serous membrane The surface may be covered with cellulosic purulent exudate. Clinically, due to vascular obstruction, intestinal wall muscle hypoxia causes continuous convulsion, resulting in severe abdominal pain because Intestinal peristalsis Strengthening can produce Counter peristalsis Cause vomiting; Necrosis and involvement of intestinal wall Muscularis And nerves, which can cause Paralytic ileus Perforation and peritonitis , causing serious consequences.
3. septic infarct (septic infarct) Caused by blockage of blood vessels by an embolus containing bacteria. Common in Acute infective endocarditis , the embolus containing bacteria falls off from the endocardium and runs along the blood stream, causing corresponding Tissue and organ Arterial embolism Caused by. Bacterial mass and a large number of bacteria can be seen in the infarct Inflammatory cell infiltration , if any pyogenic bacterium When infected abscess Formation.

Main impacts

edit
The impact of infarction on the body depends on the organ, size and location of the infarct. Infarction of kidney and spleen generally has little impact, and kidney infarction usually presents low back pain and hematuria , no impact renal function Pulmonary infarction has chest pain and hemoptysis; Intestinal infarction often causes severe abdominal pain Bloody stool And symptoms of peritonitis; miocardial infarction influence cardiac function , which can lead to heart failure even to the extent that Die suddenly Cerebral infarction occurs in corresponding parts dysfunction The patients with large infarct focus may die. Extremities, lungs and intestines infarction can be secondary Putrid fungus Caused by gangrene It can also cause pyogenic bacteria infection abscess

Outcomes of infarction

edit
When the infarct is formed inflammatory reaction Vasodilation Congestion and addiction Neutrophil and macrophage Exudation granulation tissue 24~48 hours after the occurrence of the infarction, granulation tissue has begun to grow from around the infarct into the focus. Small infarcts can be completely replaced by granulation tissue and become fibrous scars over time. When the large infarct focus can not be completely organized, it will be wrapped by granulation tissue and later transformed scar tissue, and calcification may occur inside the focus. Cerebral infarction can be liquefied into a capsule, surrounded by hyperplastic glial scar.
