HECK CCP Flashcards
Why does gas collect in gut because of pneumatosis intestinalis
bacteria byproduct
What is the major cause of SBS
necrotizing enterocolitis
What is the clinical presentation of NEC
bloody stools, distended abdomen, radiographic presentation pneumatosis intestinalis
Why does NEC not occur before birth
because before birth the intestine is sterile, no bacteria colonization
What are risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis
prematurity
intestinal ischemia
bacterial colonization
enteral feeding (milk and formula)
What parts of the intestine are involved in NEC
terminal ileum, cecum and right colon
Microscopically what does NEC look like
mucosal or transmural necrosis, ulceration and or submucosal gas bubbles
Ischemia can lead to what in cells
decreases oxidative phosphorylation in mitchondria which leads to dec Na pump so influx and swelling/bursting also dec ATP so increase anaerobic glycolysis so lactic acidosis and decreaed protein synthesis
What are the results of mitchondrial dysfunction
necrosis and apoptosis
What cells are responsible for innate immune defense in intestines
paneth cells in the crypts
What type of control is there for proinflammatory and proapoptotic signaling pathways
neg feedback
Describe intrinsic and extrinsic paths for apoptosis
extrinsic through MAMPs and caspase 8
intrinsic through cytochrome C and caspase 9
What is secreted in SI and what is absorbed
secreted: Pancreatic secretions, bile, HCO3
absorbed: water, Na, K, Cl
What is secreted in SI and what is absorbed
secreted: Pancreatic secretions, bile, HCO3
absorbed: water, Na, K, Cl
What transport occurs in duodenum and proximal jejunum
Nutrient coupled Na Na/H exchanger (without Cl-HCO3) Passive Cl absorption Cl secretion through CFTR Carbs, prteins, lipids, Ca Fe, Folate
What transport occurs in duodenum and proximal jejunum
Nutrient coupled Na Na/H exchanger (without Cl-HCO3) Passive Cl absorption Cl secretion through CFTR Carbs, prteins, lipids, Ca Fe, Folate
Where is folate exclusively absorbed
duodenum
Where is folate exclusively absorbed
duodenum
What pancreatic secretions are very important to micelles
pancreatic lipase and phospholipase A2
What pancreatic secretions are very important to micelles
pancreatic lipase and phospholipase A2
What biliary secretions are important to micelles
bile salts
What biliary secretions are important to micelles
bile salts
Where are majority of GI hormones released
duodenum and proximal jejunum
