Q

What is an apprehension test in Msk?

A

Placing the humeral head in a position of imminent subluxation or dislocation which makes the pt recognise the familiar pattern of instability and react with anticipated fear.

Q

What are the changes which happen in articular cartilage with ageing?

(5 listes)

A
  1. cell metabolism slows and number decreases
  2. collagen matrix proteins cross-link
  3. reduction in type IX collagen
  4. biochemical changes in aggrecan
  5. degradation products decrease

Q

What is the role of transglutaminases in mature cartilage?

A

Enzymatically cross-link martix proteins (between lysine and glutamine)

24
Q

What are the changes to chondroitin sulphate in ageing cartilage?

A

They become shorter

25
Q

What changes happen to the keratan sulphate as cartilage ages?

A

Increases in size

26
Q

Name 2 types of matrix proteinases

A
  • ADAMTS
  • metalloproteinases
27
Q

Which 2 minerals are required for MMPs and ADAMTS?

A

Zinc and/or calcium

28
Q

What are the 4 types of MMPs in cartilage metabolism?

A
  1. collagenases
  2. gelatinases
  3. stromelysins
  4. membrane bound MMPs
29
Q

What are the 2 principal matrix proteinases for aggrecan metabolism?

A
  • ADAMTS4
  • ADAMTS5
30
Q

Why does articular cartilage lack a perchondrium?

A

Perichondrium contains bvs and nerves - cartilage needs to remain avascular and aneural to be able to function in resisting compressive loads - would occlude vbs.

31
Q

What is the classic first sign of OA in cartilage?

A

Surface fissures in the articular cartilage + chondrocyte clustering

32
Q

What is the territorial matrix in hyaline cartilage?

A

The matrix immediately surrounding the cells

33
Q

What is the name of the cavity in which the chondrocytes lie?

A

Lacunae

34
Q

Where can elastic cartilage be found?

A

Epiglottis

External ear

External auditory canal

35
Q

Apart from IVD, where else is fibrocartilage found?

A

Ligament/tendon entheses + anywhere tendon presses against bone

36
Q

What is synovium?

A
  • Thin membrane in synovial joints which lines the joint capsule
  • 1-3 layers of macrophage and fibroblast-like cells which produce the synovial fluid
37
Q

What are Benninghoff arcades?

A

Collagen fibre organisation in articular cartilage

38
Q

What makes up the ‘wet’ weight of articular cartilage?

(5 listed)

A
  • 70% water
  • 20% collagens
  • 7% PGs
  • 2% cells
  • 1% other proteins
39
Q

What makes up the ‘dry’ weight of articular cartilage?

A
  • 75% collagens
  • 22% PGs
  • 3% other proteins
40
Q

What type of collagen is type IX? Function?

A

FACIT collagen - binds to type II collagen and is important in organisating fibrils

41
Q

What is the function of the N globular domain in type IX collagen?

A

Anchors type II to the other matrix components

42
Q

Where else in the body does type IX and type II interact?

A
  • Cornea
  • vitreous humour of the eye
43
Q

Where is type VI collagen found?

A

In pericellular matrix - forms hine fibrils in lacunae and around cells

44
Q

What is collagen type XI involved with?

A

Fibril nucleation

45
Q

Name 3 small leucine rich PGs

A
  • decorin
  • biglycan
  • fibromodulin
46
Q

Which chemical groups link GAGs to protein cores in cartilage?

(2)

A
