Q

embryology

Embryological basis of errors in esophageal development

A
  1. Esophageal stenosis: incomplete esophageal recanalisation
  2. Achalasia cardia/achalasia: failure of relaxation of musculature in lower part of esophagus/ failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax that is caused by the degeneration of inhibitory neurons within the esophageal wall
  3. Tracheosophageal fistula: incomplete fusion of tracheoesophageal septum
  4. Short esophagus: failed to elongate, stomach exists inside thoracic cavity, cause congenital hiatal hernia

Q

pharm IBD

MOA of anti-inflammatory drugs: glucocorticoids (prednisolone, budesonide)

A

GC + transcortin>complex released into cytoplasm>binds to GC receptor and activate it> HSP-70 & IP (proteins) are removed> activated complex receptor now goes to nucleus to act on GC responsive element (GRE)> transcription occurs> synthesis of mRNA which moves into cytoplasm and synthesise protein> protein inhibits phospholipase A2

-inhibits phospholipase A2>decrease in free arachidonic acid>reduced prostaglandin, thromboxane and leukotriene

transcortins transport steroid hormones (esp. cortisol) in blood.
