But inflammation is not caused only by a prior ROS. If someone punch your eye it drives to inflammation.No?

Correct, I was just stating one of many pathways.

Immune response always causes ROS.

Negative. The innate immunity that utilizes macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells are the key players that utilize ROS. However, since the innate immune response is linked with the adaptive immune response, a lack of ROS in the immune system can cause disease states that impair a person's ability to fight against foreign invasion.

ROS always causes dna fragmentation.

Causes cell death, which means the DNA gets damaged and digested in the process. However, ROS does NOT target the DNA as I have stated earlier in this thread.
