CIS plus other small details Flashcards
What is Acute Chest Syndrome Indicated By?
What Symptoms?
New pulmonary infiltrate on Chest X ray
-Fever, Chest Pain, Hypoxemia, Wheezing, Cough, Respiratory Distresss
What is Acute Chest Syndrome?
Infection( w/ new infiltrates in the lungs on the CXR)
- Mycoplasma
- Streptococcus Pneumioniae
Infection due to Thrombosis
embolic phenomena due to fat embolism 20 bone marrow infarction
second most common cause of hospitalization in KIDS
Splenic Sequestration Crisis?
- vaso-occulsion in the spleen secondary to sickle cells
- splenic pooling of Red cells (marked fall in hemoglobin)
- elevated reticulocyte count
- rapidly enlarging spleen
- Hypovolemic shock
Autosplenectomy makes children susceptible to which encapsulated organism?
- streptococcus pneumoniae
- Neesieria meningitdis
- Klebsiella pnemondia
- Influenzae
- Salmonella typhi
- Cryptococcus neoformans
- pseudomonas aerugionosa
Name the beta globin AA substitution and chromosome involved in sickle cell disease?
Glu–> Val
Point, missense mutation
Chromosome 11
Which AA residues on Histone protein tails are the targets of PTMs?
Phosphorylation is the exception?
Lysine and Arginine
Serine and threonine
Nucleosome?
Protein + DNA = ?
8 histone proteins (octamer)
Chromatin
CGH array
comparative genome hybridization
copy # varation
compare to “normal” reference
Histone Deacetylation
Represses gene expression
-compact and repressed (beads tight on string)
Histone Acetylation
Open and transcriptionally active (beads are wound loosely on strings cause Acetylgroups unwind em)
DNA methylation on which nucleotides?
what effect does it have and what areas are targeted?
can it be passed on to daughter cells?
Cytosine and Adenine
Represses Gene (silencing) transcription when it is at promoter region (CpG islands)
Yes, ex) gene imprinting and epigentics
Topoisomerase inhibitor names?
what effects as anti cancer agents?
Irinotencan (Type 1 topo)
Etoposide & anthrocyclines (type 2 topo)
block the cell cycle, generate single and double stranded breaks, harm the integrity of the genome which leads to apoptosis and cancer cell death.
Ionizing radiation (uranium) can cause
- strand breaks
- DNA-protein cross-links (e.g., thymine-tyrosine cross-link).
Non-ionizing radiation (UV) causes
pyrimidine cyclobutane dimers (corrected by photolyase)
what is depurination?
WHat is deanimation?
base is broken from the sugar phosphate
where C is changed to U. A to HypoX. G to X
Methylation gone wrong? What enzyme must fix (inefficient)
- Deamination of methyl-C produces T which is now mismatched with G
- glycolsyalse
Cross linking agents (DNA damge)
Nitrogen mustard, cisplatin, mitomycin C,
Carmustine
alkylating agents
Dimethyl sulfate (DMS) and MMS
Intercalating agents
Thalidomide
BRCA2/breast cancer
DNA repair pathway?
Repaired by homologous recombination
Xeroderma Pigmentosum
DNA repair pathway?
- skin cancer, UV sensitivity
- Mismatch repair
Cockayne Syndrome
DNA repair pathway?
Transcription coupled repair( normally RNA poly stalls ast lesions and directs repair machinery there)
disease: RNA poly is permenantly stalled at sites of damage
MSH2, MSH6, HNPCC
DNA repair pathway?
Mistmatch repair
-colon cancer
HDAC keeps genes repressed
what are some ant cancer drugs that affect this?
Valproic acid, varinostat
