Q

Which of the following cytokines is most likely to foster reperfusion injury?
A) Fibroblast growth factor 3 B) Interleukin-2
C) Transforming growth factor beta D) Tumor necrosis factor alpha
E) Vascular endothelial growth factor

A

The correct response is Option D.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha is a key cytokine in reperfusion injury. This cytokine is proinflammatory and plays a role in mediating vasodilation, edema, and oxidative stress after restoration of perfusion.
Interleukin-2 is also proinflammatory, but it is not central to reperfusion injury. The other cytokines are growth-mediating cytokines.
Transforming growth factor beta and vascular endothelial growth factor are involved with vascular growth. Fibroblast growth factor 3 is involved with cellular growth and wound- healing.

Q

She is started on a pharmacologic agent with indirect inhibition of factor Xa
as the primary mechanism of action. Which of the following agents did she most
likely receive?
A) Apixaban
B) Dabigatran
C) Enoxaparin
D) Fondaparinux
E) Warfarin

A

D

Fondaparinux is an indirect factor Xa (thrombin) inhibitor that is administered by
subcutaneous injection. It has been demonstrated to be efficacious for prophylaxis or
treatment of venous thromboembolisms.
Dabigatran and apixaban are direct thrombin inhibitors. Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist.
Enoxaparin is a direct factor Xa inhibitor.

Q

Define :
A) Endochondral ossification
B) Intramembranous ossification
C) Osteoconduction
D) Osteogenesis
E) Osteoinduction

A

New bone is formed during distraction osteogenesis via the process of intramembranous ossification. The key is that the new bone is spontaneously formed without a cartilaginous intermediate. In addition to distraction osteogenesis, intramembranous ossification occurs during fetal development with the formation of the flat bones. It also occurs with primary bone healing.

Osteogenesis is the primary mechanism for healing of a vascularized bone graft. Osteoblasts that survive the bone graft transfer procedure and osteoblasts at the native recipient bone both participate in the formation of new bone to heal the bony interface.

Osteoconduction is the primary process for healing of cortical bone grafts. Blood vessels and cells from the recipient wound bed grow into the cortical bone graft, which functions as a template for the deposition of new bone.

Endochondral ossification involves formation of new bone via a cartilaginous intermediate. This process is seen during fetal long bone development and during bony fracture healing via a cartilaginous callus.

Osteoinduction, which is seen in healing of cancellous bone grafts, involves bone morphogenetic protein stimulating mesenchymal cells at the recipient site to differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells.

Q

A 6-year-old boy with right congenital corneal anesthesia and a history of multiple
corneal abrasions and ulcerations is scheduled to undergo donor sural nerve
grafting. Which of the following graft targets is most likely to provide the greatest
improvement in corneal sensation?
A ) Left supraorbital nerve to right corneal nerve
B ) Left supraorbital nerve to right supraorbital nerve
C ) Left supratrochlear nerve to right scleral limbus
D ) Right frontal branch of facial (VII) nerve to right supratrochlear nerve
E ) Right infraorbital nerve to right corneal nerve

A

The correct response is Option C.
The ipsilateral, supraorbital, and supratrochlear nerves provide sensation to the cornea. There
are many causes for insensate cornea, including congenital and acquired conditions. Herpes
infection is one of the leading causes. Chronic ulceration and injury can lead to corneal
scarring that can lead to blindness. Corneal sensation is critical for protection of the cornea
and sight. Reinnervation of the cornea may be possible with donor nerve grafts from the
contralateral side to the sclera at the limbus. The fascicles can be divided and the individual
fascicles distributed in a subconjunctival fashion to be sutures to the sclera at the edge of the cornea. Use of the ipsilateral, trochlear, or supraorbital nerve is not expected to regain
innervation since these nerves themselves are involved
