Q

The vagus n. stimulates G cells to release gastrin; however, the administration of a muscarinic antagonist such as atropine will inhibit the release of gastrin. Why?

A

Vagus n. stimulates G cells using gastrin-releasing peptide, NOT ACh.
Atropine decreases vagal stimulation at parietal and ECL cells.

+ ANA Middle aged female Autoimmune
49
Primary Sclerosing Cholangiitis characteristics

50
Reynold's pentad for cholangitis
``` Fever Jaundice RUQ pain Hypotension Altered mental status ```
51
What are the arterial branches off the celiac trunk?
L. Gastric artery Splenic artery Common hepatic artery (which gives off the gastroduodenal artery, the R. gastric artery, and the hepatic artery.) The gastroduodenal artery then gives off the R. gastroepiploic artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery. The R. gastric a. anastamoses with the L. gastric a.
52
What are xanthomas composed of?
Lipid-laden histiocytes (the macrophages of the skin)
53
Which deficiency causes familial hypercholesterolemia?
Deficiency of LDL receptors.
54
Which apolipoprotein activates LCAT and where is it found?
Apo A1 | In HDL
55
Which apolipoprotein mediates chylomicron secreton and where is it found?
B-48 | Found on chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants.
56
Which apolipoprotein mediates VLDL secretion and binds the LDL receptor; where is it found?
Apo B-100 It is necessary for lipid recognition!!! Its found on VLDL, IDL, and LDL.
57
Which apolipoprotein is a cofactor for lipoprotein lipase and where is it found?

59
When looking at a slide of RBCs, you note the RBCs look spiny. What is likely to be deficient?
These are acanthocytes/burr cells. This pt probably has ABETALIPOPROTEINEMIA and thus is deficient in apoB100 and apoB48. This is an autosomal recessive d/o in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (MTP). These patients would have decreased chylomicron and VLDL synthesis and secretion. Bx would show lipid accumulation within enterocytes due to the inability to export absorbed lipid as chylomicrons. These patients will also have ataxia and night blindness.

75
Major difference between Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
