50
Clinical signs of Small Bowel Infarction
- Abdominal Pain - Bloody diarrhea - Decreased bowel sounds
51
HLA associations with Celiacs
HLA-DQ2 and DQ8
52
Path of gluten in celiacs
Absorbed, gliadin then deamidated by TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE (tTG). Deaminated gliadin presented via MHC class II. Helper T cells mediate tissue damage.
53
Most immunogenic component of gluten
Gliadin
54
Skin finding associated with Celiac Disease
Dermatitis herpetiformis --> Small, herpes-like vesicles. Due to IgA deposition at the tips of dermal papillae
55
Lab findings with Celiac Disease
IgA antibodies against endomysium, tTG, or gliadin. Always test IgG as well in case of IgA deficiency.
56
Where in the GI tract is most of celiac disease damage done?
DUODENUM
57
Late complications of Celiac Disease
T-cell lymphoma and small bowel carcinoma
58
Where in the GI tract is most of tropical sprue damage done?
JEJUNUM and ILEUM (can see secondary folate or Vit. B12 deficiency)
59
Histological findings of Whipple Disease and location
Foamy macrophages filled with lysosomes containing organism (PAS +). Found in lamina propria of small bowel.
60
Symptoms of Whipple Disease
Fat malabsorption and steatorrhea (due to macrophage compression of lacteals and impaired lymphatic drainage). Can also present as arthritis, cardiac valve involvement, lymph nodes, and CNS
61

62
Carcinoid tumor stain
Chromogranin (also small cell carcinoma of lung)
63
Location of carcinoid heart disease
R sided, as lungs filter out serotonin (MAO present). Serotonin increases collagen production, leading to tricuspid regurg and pulm. stenosis.
64
What congenital disease is Hirschprung Disease associated with?
Down Syndrome
65
How do you diagnose Hirschprung Disease?
You must do a Rectal SUCTION biopsy (to get layers of submucosa).

Hyperplastic colonic polyps (histology and course)
Serrated appearance on microscopy. NO MALIGNANT POTENTIAL.
75
Adenomatous polyps (course)
Benign, but pre-malignant.
76
Adenoma-carcinoma sequence
1. APC mutation (increased risk for polyp) 2. K-ras mutation (allows for formation of polyp) 3. p53 and increased expression of COX (progression to carcinoma)
77
Does aspirin help with colonic carcinoma?
YES. Because it inhibits COX… thus helps to impede progress from adenoma to carcinoma.
78
Risk factors for progression from adenoma to carcinoma?
Size >2cm, sessile growth (flat, non pedunculated), and villous histology
79
Cause of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
AD inherited defect in APC (Chromosome 5)
80

Hamartomatous (benign) polyps throughout GI tract and mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. AD See increased risk of colorectal, breast, and gynecologic cancers.
