Page 23: Copy and insert as a page into book 3. Rolling of neutrophils in the venules due to expression of selectin adhesion molecules on
neutrophils and endothelial cells
a. Selectins are carbohydrate-binding adhesion molecules.
b. L-Selectin is located on leukocytes (e.g., neutrophils), while E-selectin and P-selectin are
located on the surface of endothelial cells.
(1) P-selectin is produced in the Weibel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells.
(2) Weibel-Palade bodies are the ―glue factory‖ of the endothelial cells, because they
synthesize P-selectin, an adhesion molecule for leukocytes) and von Willebrand’s
factor, the adhesion molecule of the platelet (refer to Chapter 15).
c. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) stimulate the expression of selectin
ligands on the surface of neutrophils (L-selectin) and the expression of selectin molecules
on the surface of endothelial cells (E-selectin, P-selectin).
d. Binding of circulating neutrophils to E-selectin and P-selectin molecules on endothelial
cells is weak and transient causing them to ―roll‖ (bind detach, bind detach) along the
endothelial surface of the venules.

Shaded area 8 sentences down from the top: …aldosterone blockers) compliment 3. Gross and microscopic findings
a. Lungs are heavy, congested, and exude a frothy pink transudate (edema) on the cut surface or
in the airways.
b. Alveoli are filled with a pink staining fluid and alveolar macrophages containing hemosiderin
(―heart failure‖ cells).
(1) Latter finding implies that the pulmonary capillaries have ruptured under pressure and
RBCs entered the alveoli and were phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages.
(2) Excess iron in the macrophage binds to ferritin, which degrades into hemosiderin (rusty
colored granules with H:E stain or blue with Prussian blue stain) producing a rusty
colored sputum.

d. Increased permeability of spherocytes to potassium and water
3. c. Increased RBC osmotic fragility

increased RBC osmotic fragility.

population from the patient's BMD and dividing this by the standard deviation (SD) of
the young-adult reference population.
(b) Using the T-score, osteoporosis is defined as – 2.5 SD and below.

membranes (e.g., mouth, genitals)
● Infections (e.g., HIV, group A streptococcus), drugs (antibiotics most common
[penicillin, sulfa drugs]), and maligancies have been implicated; however, most
cases are idiopathic.
c. Erosions develop on the mucous membranes and small blisters develop on purpuric or
erythematous macules on the skin (different from target lesions of EM)

anticonvulsants)
b. May occur alone or overlap with SJS
MN: TENS: necrosis, skin detachment; overlap with SJS
c. Characterized by extensive areas of erythema, necrosis, and bullous detachment of the
epidermis and mucous membranes exfoliation of skin
