Final Flashcards
Collagen in hyaline cart
Type II collagen
What makes hyaline cart
ECM and chondrocytes
What makes ECM
70% water, type II collagen, proteoglycans
What is aggrecan
Major ECM proteoglycan made of chondroitin and karatan sulfate
Fxn type II coll
Counteract tensile forces
What is a proteoglycan
100 GAGs on a protein core, arranged on a hyaluronan mol
GAG fxn
Negative charge attracts water to counteract compressive forces
Functional layer of synovial memb
Intimal- cells that perform fxn
Type A synoviocyte
In intimal layer, phagocytic
Type B synoviocyte
In intimal layer, secretes proteins, filters plasma to make fluids, releases cytokines
Predom cell in normal synovial fluid
Mononuclear
Viscosity of syn fluid from
Hyaluronan molecules (large)
MMPs
degrade ECM, released by chondrocytes and synovio’s in inactive form
Name MMPs
collagenase (mmp-13), gelatinase, stromelysin
Stromelysin
MMP that degrades proteoglycan part of ECM
MMP inhibitor
TIMP and tetracycline
IL-1 and TNFa fxn
Inflam cytokines- inc catab (up-reg MMPs, PGs, free radicals and each other)
IL-1 fxn
Inhibit TIMP and IL-1Ra (its own inhibitor)
IL-1Ra
IL-1 Receptor antagonist
First biomechanical damage in injury
loss of proteoglycan leading to collagen degradation, hard to regen
Intrinsic cartilage healing
Poor- from chondrocyte synthetic activity
Extrinsic healing-
From bone marrow sources, makes fibrocartilage NOT type II
Matrix flow
Healing by spread/thin/melt of cartilage
OC is what type of dz
Developmental orthopedic disorder (DOD)
Most common CS of OA
pain, lameness
OA- type of dz
trauma/degen
Tissue changes in OA
cartilage damage, synovitis, capsulitis (decreased ROM), ligament/menisc injury (dec stability)
Abnormal force on normal cartilage=
intra-artic fx
Normal force on abnormal cartilage=
wear and tear (normal)
Anatomy confers___ and physiology confers____
mechanics, biology (catab/anab balance, dz response)
OA rads-
No joint space=no cartilage!, subchondral bone sclerosis/lysis
Enthesiophyte
Formation of bone at capsule and ligamentous attachments
Osteophytes
bone form at articular margin
Gold standard dx OA
Arthroscopy bc rads may not show changes early
Fluid analysis in OA-
Cytology not useful, THIN IS BAD
Microfracture
Tx for OA makes holes in subchondral bone to stim extrinsic heal- NOT type II, fibrocart
Arthrodesis Px
High motion- poor, salvage; low motion- may return to fxn (distal tarsal, pastern)
Most common NSAID
Bute- flunixin not as good
Good long term NSAID
Fircoxib- more cox 2 selective so less SE, but less effective
Corticosteroid tx for OA
Intra-articular (methylpred for high motion, triamcinolone for low)
Hyaluronan - route
IA/IV
What is adequan
polysulfated GAGs
IRAP
Bio therapy for OA to block IL1 receptors
What is always an emergency
Septic arthritis
Types of septic arthritis
Traumatic (from wound entry), hematogenous, iatrogenic
Three types of hematogenous septic arthritis in foals
SEP: S- synovial memb source, E- subchondral bone of epiphysis into joint, P- physeal
Synovial fluid analysis in septic arth
WBC >30k, >90% degenerative neuts, +/- TP >2
Iatrogenic septic arth org
Staph Aureus
Trauma septic arth org
enteric gram negatives
