Basic Science Flashcards
Mechanism to decrease effectiveness of beta lactams
Altered membrane-binding protein
Mechanism to decrease effectiveness of quinolones
Mutations of bacterial DNA gyrase
Mechanism to decrease effectiveness of Tetracyclines
increased tetracycline efflux, ribosome protection, and tetracycline modification
Mechanism to decrease effectiveness of rifampin
Alteration of RNA polymerase
Vitronectin
important receptor involved in Osteoclasts attach to bone surfaces by means of integrins and then seal the space below.
also integrin avß3
RANK
receptor on osteoclasts that when activated by RANKL stimulates osteoclasts. RANKL is found on osteoblasts.
Osteoprotegerin (OPG)
decreases osteoclast differentiation by it’s interaction with RANKL (receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand). OPG is made by osteoblasts and binds to RANKL (RANK Ligand) to competitively inhibit RANK binding.
PDGF (Platelet Derived Growth Factor)
involved in fracture healing. It is chemotactic and attracts inflammatory cells to the fracture site and is important in early fracture healing, especially the hematoma formation.
TGF-B (transforming growth factor Beta)
induces mesenchymal cells to produce type II collagen & proteoglycans. It is important in the early stages of fracture callus formation.
Doxycycline MOA
inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 30s ribosomal subunit.
clindamycin MOA
inhibit the 50s ribosomal subunit.
Penicillin MOA
cell wall synthesis.
vancomycin MOA
inhibit cell wall synthesis.
linezolid MOA
inhibit the 50s ribosomal subunit.
Sulfonamides MOA
folic acid inhibitors.
Rifampin MOA
RNA synthesis inhibitor.
Inhibits cell-wall production by preventing peptidoglycan cross-linkage
Cephalosporins
Inhibits cell-wall production by interfering with the addition of cell-wall subunits
Glycopeptides - vancomycin
Inhibits translation through irreversible binding of the 30S ribosomal subunit
Aminoglycosides
Inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase F
Rifamycins
Inhibits DNA gyrase
Fluoroquinolones
amphotericin
binds to sterols and disrupting the cell membrane also nystatin
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma
PAX3-FKHR fusion gene - 1:13
PAX7-FKHR fusion gene - 2:13
Ewings Sarcoma
EWS-Fli1 fusion gene - 11:22
Multiple hereditary exostosis
EXT1, EXT2, EXR3
Multiple Osteochondromas
Trabecular bone is remodeled through the formation of?
Howship lacunae : After the pit is formed, osteoclasts are replaced by osteoblasts that form new bone matrix
Synovial sarcoma
SYT-SSX fusion gene - t(x,18)
foot
15-20
Parosteal osteosarcoma
Ring chromosomes
Stress
force per cross-sectional area
Strain
Strain is the deformation of a material in response to an applied force
change in length/original length
Modulus of Elasticity
slope of the stress-strain curve
measure of an object’s ability to resist deformation under an external load.
Toughness
the area under the stress-strain curve and is a measure of the amount of energy a material can absorb before failure
Creep
increased displacement over time attributable to the same force
What molecules have been shown to promote fibrosis during muscle injury
TGF-ß1
