Q

Path mechanism of OA?

A

chondrocyte injury cause proliferation and form clusters
water content increases and concentration of proteoglycans decreases
Cracking of the matrix occurs as the supporing catilage and type II collage are degraded

Q

What causes bone/cartilage destruction?

A
antigen is picked up by MHC class II, present to CD4+ T cell, release cytokines
activate macrophages, B cells, and recruit leukocytes

leads to pannus formation, destroy bone, catilage
fibrosis, ankylosis

Q

Bouchard’s node?

A

at the PIP

21
Q

Boutonniere deformity?

A

hyperflexion of the PIP, hyperexternsion of DIP

22
Q

Swan neck deformity?

A

hyperflexion of DIP, hyperextension of PIP

23
Q

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis?

A

before 16 yo, persist for min 6 wks

no nodules

24
Q

JIA from RA?

A

oilgoarthritis is more common
systemic disease more frequent
large joints affected more often than small joints
rhuematoid nodules and RF are usually absent
ANA seropositivity is common

25
Q

Crystal induced arthritis?

A

gout, pseudogout

26
Q

Gout?

A

monosodium urate crystals accumulate in the joint, due to overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid
hyperuricemia

27
Q

clin course gout?

A
asymptomatic hyperuricemia
acute gouty arthritis (hyperemic, warm, painful joint)
   (rule out septic arthritis)
intercritical gout
chronic tophasceous gout
28
Q

Classify gout?

A

primary or idiopathic (usually)
secondary (increased nucleic acid turnover) (leukemia, cancer) Metabolic disease (Lesch-Nyhan deficient HGPRT)
renal disease

29
Q

Uric acid crystals?

A

need shaped, negatively birefirngent, water soluble crystals

30
Q

Path of Gout?

A

crystals phagocytized by macrophage, release IL-1beta other cytokines to cause release of proteases, to cause tissue injury and inflammation

crystals also activate complement, neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosize crystals by neutrophils,lysis of neutrophils, release of lysosomal enzymes, tissue injury and inflammation

31
Q

Gross morph gout?

A

synovium is endematous and congested

32
Q

Histo of gout?

A

dense neutrophilic infiltrate with uric acid crystals in synovium
scattedered lymphocytes, plasma cell and macrophages

33
Q

Thophus?

A

pathognomonic lesion of gout
gross- urates from visible depositis in the synovium, Hyperplastic and fibrotic synovieum

Histo- large aggregates of urate crystals
intense inflammatory reaction

34
Q

Pseudogout (chondrocalcinosis)?

A

calcium pyrophosphate crystals accumulate and deposit in the joint, can be seen on xray

over 50, common knee
weakly bifringent, rhomboid/geometric shaped crystals

35
Q

Pseudogout assoc with?

A

diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, hemochromatosis

36
Q

Infectious arthritis?

A

potential serious, can cause deformatities
routes of infection
-hematogenous dissemination (via blood)
-direct inocculation
-contiguous spread from soft tissue abcess or focuse of osteomyeltitis

37
Q

Etiologic agents for infectious arthritis?

A

38
Q

bacterial arthritis?

A

acute onset on painful and swollen infected joint
systemic symptoms, fever, leukocytosis, increased ESR
etiologic agents by group
