Q

Etiology of osteoarthritis

A

G-A-B-O-G-E1. Genetics: multiple genes2. Age: incr age= less aggrecans, slow responsiveness to anabolism3. BW: Boxer w hi birthweight, incr risk hip dysplasia/CCL4. Obesity: Lab cohort study signs of OA/HD w ad libitum feeding 42 vs 4% @ 2 YO 5. Gender: neutered boxer 1.5 x risk HD; neutering male/female incr risk CCLR6. Environment: leash exercise (exercise increases VI, PVF in OA patients), diet, housing (slippery floors)

Q

van Hagen et al Incidence, risk factors, and heritability estimates of hind limb lameness caused by hip dysplasia in a birth cohort of Boxers. Am J Vet Res. 2005

A

neutering at least 6 months before making a dx of clinical hip dysplasia influenced the risk of clinical HD developing over timeneutered Boxers were 1.5 x more likely to develop clinical HD

Q

3 overlapping stages of articular cartilage pathogenesis in OA

A
  1. ECM degrades, incr water content, decr aggrecan/P size, damage to collegen network–>reduce compressive stiffness2. chondrocytes compensate–prolif (anabolic–thickness stage)3. chondrocytes depleted, complete loss of cartilage tissue (ulcer, eburnation, erosion)

Q

MOA of NSAIDs

A
  1. Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitionwith COX inhibition, AA does not convert to PG (PGE2) thus no vasodilation, edema, incr pain noted2. Lipoxygenase (LIPOX) inhibitionif COX path is blocked, incr LIPOX path to make leukotrienes (proinflm, incr PMN, hyperalgesia)Ideally, NSAID would be LIPOX/COX inhibitors

Q

COX 1 vs COX 2

A

COX 1 constitutive, in many tissues (makes PGs important for normal physiologic function)COX 2 inducible, upregulated w inflm; IS CONSTITUTIVE in kidney, brain and is cytoprotective to GI mucosaselective inhibition of COX 2 without affecting COX 1 will allow analgesia WITHOUT unwanted side effects of Cox 1 inhibitionGOAL: inhibition of COX2 at lower concentration than the concentration needed to inhibit COX1 (either a HIGH COX1:COX2 ratio or LOW COX2:COX1 ratio) pg 1057 Boothe

Q

prostaglandins and their role for GI integrity

A

NSAIDS inhibit COX and decrease PG synthesisnatural GI integrity protected by PG mediated: 1. bicarbonate rich mucus2. gastric epithelial cell turnover at apical membrane3. high blood flow to release bicarbonate and neutralize any acid (decr H); also brings oxygen and nutrientsPGE2 maintains mucosal layer, mucus layer, blood flow, and gastric acid production and is made through COX 1 path

35
Q

types of inflammatory arthritis

A
  1. IMPA–erosive ( RA, PA of GH, feline chronic progressive PA)–nonerosive: IMPA (I-idiopathic, II-reactive, III-GI, IV-neoplastic), drug induced (sulfonamides/Dobies); SLE, Sharpeis/Akita breed related arthropathies2. infective arthropathy3. crystal induced (Ca, urate, hydroxyapatite)
36
Q

rheumatoid factor

A

IgM (and IgA) autoantibodies against Fc portion of IgGserology for presence of these Ab aids in dx but may also be raised with other chronic inflammatory diseases

37
Q

MOA of bacterial infective arthropathy

A
  1. hematogenous spread (second most common)2. direct penetration/trauma3. local spread from tissues (most common)dog most common: Staph intermedius, Staph aureus, beta hemolytic Strepcat: pastuerella, bacteroides
38
Q

most frequent cause of infxn (infective arthropathy) in dogs/cats

A

post op infection following articular surgerytarsus, stifleex. 6.1% after TPLO surgery within 6 months; decr risk with using suture over staples and post op Ab administration but wound infections leading to osteomyelitis or septic arthritis are uncommon

39
Q

T/FNerve endings are present on articular cartilage

A

FALSE free nerve endings are present in all structures of the joint EXCEPT articular cartilage

40
Q

radiographic features of OA

A

SSS EE I Osoft tissue swellingsubchondral sclerosis *subchondral cystEffusionenthesiophytosisintra articular mineralizationosteophytosis * (usually at bone/cartilage junction)

41
Q

MOA of bone scintigraphy

A

technetium is linked to diphosphonate carrierthe diphosphonate binds hydroxyapatite crystals and recently formed bone has large crystals for the carrier to bind”hot spot”

42
Q

codeine

A

mu agonist5-10% convert to morphinealone schedule IIwith APAP schedule III

43
Q

MOA of essential poly unsaturated fatty acids

A

PUFA (contain more than 1 carbon -carbon double bond): linoleic (6), linolenic (3)1. components in cell membranes2. involved in lipid transport3. serve as precursors to eicosanoid formation which regulates inflammatory process3-FA may decr mRNA for proteinases and MMPs and increase PVF days btwn days 0-90 on diet with hi omega 3 and owners subjectively thought they improved

44
