The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages. A chronic inflammatory response to a non-antigenic stimulus such as heat or physical trauma. Inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks or months) in which active inflammation, tissue destruction, and attempts at repair are proceeding simultaneously. Although it may follow acute inflammation, chronic inflammation frequently begins insidiously, as a low-grade, smoldering, often asymptomatic response. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response to a non-antigenic stimulus. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response to a non-antigenic stimulus. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of a chronic inflammatory response to a non-antigenic stimulus.
