Disorder of vascular flow
may be divided into general and local categories.
The local disorders contain:
①Derangement of local blood volume: hyperemia and
ischemia,
②Derangement of blood properties and content:
thrombosis, embolism and infarction.
③Derangements of vascular permeability and anatomic
integrity: edema, hemorrhage.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Hyperemia
Def. Hyperemia refers to a local
increased volume of blood caused by
dilatation of the small vessels.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
1. Arterial hyperemia (active hyperemia)
It results from an augmented arterial inflow, such as
occurs in the muscles during exercise, at sites of
inflammation, and in the pleasing neurovascular
dilatation termed blushing.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Active hyperemia causes increase of the volume of
local tissue, of the metabolism and function of the
organ. It is beneficial to the organism. Active
hyperemia of body surface shows red in color and
increase in local temperature.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
2. Venous hyperemia
(passive hyperemia, congestion)
It results from diminished venous flow such as follows cardiac
failure or obstructive venous disease.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Etiology
(1)Compression on vein
(2)Intravenous obstruction
(3)Cardiac failure
Course of Basic Medical Sciences

Accumulation of large amount of blood within the
tissue of the body.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Hemothorax, hemopericardium,

Minute hemorrhage into skin, mucous membrane or
serosal surface.
Purpura (紫癜):
Slight larger hemorrhage.
Ecchymosis (淤斑):
A large subcutaneous hematoma.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Thrombosis
Def. Thrombosis refers to the process of
formation of an adherent clotted mass of blood within
the cardiovascular system in a living body.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
1. Factors and mechanism of thrombosis
(1)Endothelial injury
On the one hand, endothelial cells possess
antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic
properties; on the other hand they exert
procogulant functions.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Intact endothelium insulates the blood
platelets and coagulation proteins from
the highly thrombogenic subendothelial
components, principally collagen.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Damage to vascular endothelium is the
dominant influence thrombogenesis, and the
only one which, by and of itself, may lead to
thrombus formation. It may occur in the
following situations: ulcerated atherosclerotic
plaques; vascular traumatic or inflammatory
injury; endocardium in the site of myocardial
infarction or myocarditis.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(2)Alteration of blood flow (stasis and
turbulence)
In normal laminar blood flow, all of the
formed elements are separated from the
endothelial surface by a clear plasmatic
zone.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
①disrupt laminar flow and permit platelets to
come into contact with the endothelium;
②prevent dilution of activated clotting factors to
subcritical concentrations;
③retard the inflow of clotting factor inhibitors;
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
④permit the build-up of platelets aggregates
and nascent fibrin either in the sluggish
stream or in the pockets of stasis;
⑤promote endothelial cell hypoxia and injury,
predisposing to platelet and fibrin deposition
as well as reducing release of TPA;
⑥the turbulence is a mechanism for endothelial
injury.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(3)Hypercoagulability
Hypercoagulability can be defined as an
alteration of the blood or , specifically, the
clotting mechanism that in some way
predisposes to thrombosis.
Hypercoagulability can be seen in many
clinical settings such as severe trauma,
burns, disseminated cancer, long term use of
oral contraceptives.

Microcirculatory Thrombosis(DIC)
Def. Widespread thrombosis in the
microcirculation is referred to
disseminated intravascular
coagulation(DIC).
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Etiology and mechanism DIC is not a
primary disease, rather, it is a
complication of some underlying
diseases (trauma, severe infection,
shock, carcinoma etc.) which activate
the processes involved in blood clotting.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
The simplest mechanism involves the
release of tissue factor into the
circulation, for example, from the
placenta in obstetric complication.
Carcinomas may also release other
thromboplastic substances such as
proteolytic enzymes etc.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Morphology The microthrombi are
composed of platelets and fibrin and are
found principally in the arterioles and
capillaries of the kidney, adrenals, brain
and heart.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
The bleeding tendency is probably
attributable to the rapid consumption of
platelets and clotting factors; hence DIC
is sometimes also referred to
defibrillation syndrome or consumption
coagulopathy.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Embolism
Def. Embolism refers to occlusion of
some part of the cardiovascular system
by any foreign mass carried there in the
blood stream. The transported mass is
called as embolus.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
1. Routes of embolus transportation
(1)Arterial emboli induce embolism in
brain, kiney, spleen and lower limbs.
(2)Venous emboli usually lodge in the
lung.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(3)Paradoxical embolism: In case of
congenital septum defect of the heart,
venous emboli may enter from the right
into the left heart chambers.
(4)Retrograde embolism: Emboli
occasionally may travel against the
direction of blood flow.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
2. Types of emboli
(1)Thromboembolism
①Pulmonary embolism most
commonly originates from thrombus of
lower limb. The prognosis depends on
the size of the occluded vessel and the
status of the patient’s cardiovascular
system.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Large embolus: fatal.
Mechanical obstruction + severe strain
on the right side of the heart (acute cor
pulmonale) + reflexive vascular and
bronchial spasm.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Small emboli obstruct small branches of
pulmonary artery: The thrombi can be
resolved and so of little significance.
If bronchial circulation is insufficiency
(chronic passive congestion of lung),
small emboli may produce either
pulmonary hemorrhage or infarction
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
②Arterial embolism
Origin: Emboli usually arise from mural
thrombi in the left ventricle or atrium,
from vegetations on the left side valves,
and occasionally from thrombi on the
aorta.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Morphology: They produce occlusion of
blood stream most frequently in the
spleen, the kidneys, the brain, and
lower extremities, often with resultant
infarcts in the organs and gangrene in
the limbs.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(2)Fat embolism
Etiology: Fracture of the shafts of long
bones, soft tissue trauma, burns.
Morphology:
Sequences: The prognosis of fat
embolism depends on the quantity and
site of embolism.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
①Pulmonary fat embolism:
9~20g fat→75% pulmonary arteries
are occluded→pulmonary edema,
hemorrhage, atelectasis→asphyxia,
right sided heart failure.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
②Lung-brain-kidney-skin embolism
syndrome
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(3)Gas embolism
①Air embolism
Etiology: As a complication of trauma
(chest), cardio-thoracic surgery, various
diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, or
rupture of veins during delivery.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Sequences:
Small volume: absorbed
>100ml: acute distress.
>300ml: fatal due to pulmonary
embolism.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
②Decompression sickness (cassion disease)
Etiology and mechanism: Decompressed rapidly
from high atmospheric pressure to a normal level
of pressure (in deep sea divers, in underwater
construction workers) or from normal
atmospheric pressure to a low pressure (in
aviators)→Gas comes out of solution in the
blood, tissue fluid, and fat, in the form of minute
bubbles which are composed of O2, CO2 and
nitrogen. The nitrogen is of low solubility and
persists as minute bubbles.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(4)Amniotic fluid embolism
Etiology and mechanism: After rupture
of membranes, some of the amniotic
fluid may be forced by vigorous uterine
contractions between the membranes
and the uterine wall and then up to the
placentar margin to enter the uterine
sinusoids.
Amnionic fluid embolism 羊水栓塞
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
It is now suspected that vasoactive
substances within the amniotic fluid
such as prostaglandins may be the
cause of pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Morphology: The classic findings in the
pulmonary arteries and capillaries at
autopsy are epithelial squames from
fetal skin, lanugo hairs, fat from vernix
caseosa, and mucin, presumed to be
from the fetal GIT.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Infarction
Def. Ischemic necrosis of tissue or
organ caused by occlusion of either its
arterial supply or its venous drainage is
referred to infarct, the process of infarct
formation is called as infarction.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
1. Causes and factors that condition
the development of an infarct
(1)Nature of vascular supply
①Effective anastomosis
②Double blood supply (liver, lung etc)
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(2)Rate of development of occlusion
(3)Vulnerability of the organ or tissue to
hypoxia
(nerve cells, myocardial muscle>fibroblasts)
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(4)Oxygen carrying capacity of blood:
The anemia or cyanotic patient tolerates
arterial insufficiency less well than does
the normal person.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
2. Types
(1) White infarct : It result of arterial
occlusion, commonly seen in compact,
solid organs with less collateral
circulation, such as the kidneys, spleen
and heart.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
(2) Red infarct:
Red infarct of intestine: Limited venous
outflow due to vascular obstruction + by
pass channels can’t develop.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
3. Morphology
G. All infarcts, red and white, tend to be
wedge shape, the occluded vessel at
the apex and the periphery of the organ
forming the base.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Shortly after the vascular obstruction,
the area involved becomes red and
congested as a result of dilatation of the
vessels and flowing of blood into the
part from adjacent vessels. Hemorrhage
occurs as a result of ischemic damage
to vessel wall.
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Compact organs have relative little
hemorrhage, the necrotic area is
gradually decolorized (rbc are lysed and
removed from the area), and appears
pale or yellow-white (white infarct).
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
Organs of soft, loose tissue with double
supply, infarcts tend to remain
hemorrhagic (Red infarct)
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Pulmonary hemorrhagic infarct
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
H. Necrotic tissue surrounding with
hyperemic and hemorrhagic zone.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
* Septic infarct: When an infarct is
produced by a septic embolus, the
infarct is converted to an abscess.
Chapter 3
Course of Basic Medical Sciences
Chapter 3
4. Fate of infarct
(1)Small infarct: softened, absorbed
(2)Large infarct: organization and scar
formation
(3)Septic infarct: abscess formation
(4)Infarction of brain, myocardium or
lung: sometimes may cause sudden
death.
