Q

What is ileus

A
  • lack of movement somewhere in the intestines that leads to a buildup and potential blockage of food material.
  • can lead to an intestinal obstruction. This means no food material, gas, or liquids can get through. It can occur as a side effect after surgery.
  • can be a blockage, can be outside of intestine - tumor, or inside - an irritant

Q

Neustigmin

A

Parasympomimetic which is rarely used

A) Locally: sm contraction, incr metabolism -> gas formation and accumulation is caused by gas from mouth

B) Systemic effect: incr mm (sm and striated) irritability (used in treatment)

Q

effect of proximal ileus (stomach, proximal duodenal part)

A

metabolic alkalosis in the beginning and metabolic acidosis follows.

Foreign body in or near stomach causing gas and fluid accumulation. This will activate the tensor receptors which will incr HCl production, which will be vomited. This loss of acids leads to metabolic alkalosis in the beginning. Then lactic acid is produced in anaerobic glycolysis, and met acidosis occurs.

Q

Symptoms of distal ileus (jejunum and more distal parts)

A
  • no eating, empty stomach
  • reflux: vomit contains small int fluids = high pH (out of body)
  • dehydration
  • anaerobic glycolysis=lactic acid ➡️ metabolic acidosis
  • miserere: vomiting intestinal contents(feces)

Q

Symptoms of proximal ileus (jejunum and more distal parts)

A

severe vomiting, dehydration, anorexia, depression, etc.) are more prominent, and the general state of the animal is worsening more quickly, than in case of distal ileus.

Q

Local and general consequences in ileus

A

1️⃣ INTESTINAL SPASM onto foreign body
2️⃣ as decomposition of irritant begins it will not move aborally STASIS ➡️ GAS ACCUMULATION
3️⃣ aborally intestines are empty and sometimes stuck together
4️⃣ bv are COMPRESSED at ileus site
5️⃣ v/a flow is blocked; HYPOXIA
6️⃣ Lactic acid prod ➡️ NECROSIS, inflammation locally ➡️ bacteria from int into peritoneal cabity ➡️ local/general PERITONITIS
7️⃣ cranial osmotic fluic accumulation in int., water influx (full cran, empty aboral well visible in xray)
8️⃣ water into abd cavity=ASCITES, if bacteria present septic peritonitis
9️⃣ DEHYDRATION: VOMIT water: ca/fe/su, REFLUX:ru, stomach RUPTURE:ep ➡️ HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK, eq die first
1️⃣0️⃣ K into intestines (HYPOKALEMIA) ➡️ muscle weakness(hypoventilation)➡️ RESP ACIDOSIS ➡️ GENERAL LACTACIDOSIS(also caused by no eating bc pain)
1️⃣1️⃣ HCO3- influx cause METABOLIC ACIDOSIS ➡️ general lactacidosis
1️⃣2️⃣Met +res acidosis = MIXED ACIDOSIS
1️⃣3️⃣ accumulation of bacteria cause ENDOTOXEMIA(gram-) toxin out if bacteria when it dies, to bloodstream causing SEPSIS (or exotoxemia in gram+)
🔺 BILE! Slows down bacterial reprod, but its not prod if animal dont eat! Eq dont have gallbladder!

Q

Where are pancreatic enzymes produced

A

acinar cells, activated in lumen of duodenum, during harmful processes eg inflammation the activation could occur in pancreas if walls are degr. Sep from maturing enzymes

Q

Disruped structure of pancreas

A

Since the enzymes are now activated inside pancreas, they can harm pancreatic tissue but also high amounts in blood:
1️⃣ cause severe lesions in organs far from the pancreas (lungs, kidney, heart, blood vessels, etc…)
2️⃣ abdominal cavity, peritoneal irritation locally near the pancreas (local peritonitis, damage to the liver, gall blader, omentum, fundus of the stomach, duodenum, spleen, right kidney, colon ascendens, and transversus),
A) or in severe cases generally on the whole surface of the peritoneum (generalised peritonintis).

Q

❓Determination of substrates in pancreas:

A

􏰀 glucose concentration (IDDM)
􏰀 concentration of electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl-) (alteration of isoosmosis, -ionia as a
consequence)
􏰀 alpha2-macroglobulin concentration (it can be decreased because this protein is able to
bind to active pancreatic enzymes and deactivate them)
􏰀 alpha1-antitrypsine concentration (it can also be decreased because of the intensive
utilisation, as it is an antiprotease which defends the plasma from trypsine and other
proteases)
􏰀 triacylglycerol concentration (due to increased lipase activation, and/or IDDM)
􏰀 Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+ can be depleted into the necrotised fat of the pancreas forming
“soaps”, “liponecrosis pancreatica”)
􏰀 kidney, liver parameters and total protein, albumin concentration should be measured in
order to diagnose the effects of the complications.

Q

Starch digestion test:

A

Spectrophotometric method! measure alpha-amylase activity

Starch absorb stain, when alpha-amylase digests it in alkaline environment stain become free. More free stain - more enzyme activity in plasma sample.

Q

p-nitrophenol method:

A

Spectrophotometric method! measure alpha-amylase activity

p-nitrophenol is bound to oligosacharides. Alpha-amylase splits oligosacharides to smaller parts (disacharids, monosacharids) freeing p-nitrophenol which is yellow. More yellow more alpha-amylase activity!

Q

mechanism of TLI (Trypsine like immunoreactivity)

A

Expensive, used in cat only

TLI is determined by RIA(radioimmunassay). Marked Ab`s are prod against trypsinogen(same hapten as tryspin): increased radioactivity that can be measured by specific analyser

In case of pancreatitis more trypsinogen or active trypsine can get into the blood stream and the concentration will be 15 times more than the normal value (2,5-5 μg/l). (Usually mostly into duodenum, little in blood)

Q

TLI may not incr in case of pancretitis bc: (imp)

A

There is a strong defense mechanism against active enzymes entering the bloodstream. This consists of different antiprotease molecules (alpha 1-antitrypisine, alpha 2- macroglobulin) which bind active proteolytic enzymes in the blood and deactivate them. In some individuals this defense can be so strong, that it prevents the increase of TLI level in case of pancreatitis.

149
Q

exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) - why does it develope

A

due to chronic necrotic or atrophic damage (caused by chronic inflammation, fibrosis, etc…) to the pancreas, or sometimes it is an inherited disease (pancreatic acinar atrophy=PAA, mostly in german shepherd dogs)..

150
Q

exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) - how does it work

A

decreased production of digestive enzymes, or the enzymes do not get out from the organ into the intestines, they are very important in the digestion of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates

151
Q

Symptoms of EPI

A

1️⃣ Undigested fat of surface of feces or light grey color

2️⃣ vit deficiancy -> skin and fur problems

152
Q

EPI mechanism

A

Animals with EPI will loose weight, coprophagia can show. Undigested food in int ➡️ bacterial growth, products incr osmolarity ➡️ water influx from bv ➡️ intermittent diarrhea, incr gas(flatulence), bacterial eteritis

153
Q

EPI treatment

A

Usually lifelong: parental admin vitamins, pancreatic enzymes orally, easily digested food etc

154
Q

EPI tests

A

DOGS3️⃣ dyed agar-gel digestion & schwachmann filmtest
LIKES4️⃣ lipid absorption test⬇️
FRIED5️⃣ fecal elastase test⬇️
EGGS 6️⃣ examination of undigested particles in fecal samples⬆️

155
Q

TLI-concentration:

A

examination of EPI (and pancr!)

If EPI is caused by obstruction of the pancreatic duct, TLI level is normal or high!

156
Q

BT-PABA test mechanism

A

PABA will be low in blood, urine if EPI bc. Needs to be split BT-PABA to be absorbed

157
Q

❓BT-PABA test method

A

If it is determined from blood plasma we have to take blood samples before giving BT- PABA to the animal as a basal value, then give BT-PABA orally, and take blood samples after 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minute.

158
Q

Schwachmann-filmtest: mechanism

A

determine enzyme activity from faecal samples. Chymotrypsine and elastase can digest gelatine. Uncharged X-ray film contains gelatine so it can be used for this test

159
Q

Schwachmann-filmtest method

A

Mix fecal sample with sodiumbicarbonate solution to maintain alkalytic pH. This and the xray film is put into a tube. Maintaining 37 oC in a thermostat, after 30-60 minutes the x-ray film strip becomes transparent if faecal sample contains enough digestive enzymes to digest gelatine on the film.

Transparent = enzymes are present

160
Q

Dyed agar-gel digestion test

A

stained (usually with a blue dye) agar gel should be prepared to have a stable pH value of 8, and poured into Petri-tray.. One peace of faecal sample should be put onto the middle of the gel and maintaining 37 oC in a thermostat after 30-60 minutes we can see wide digested circle around the sample if faecal sample contains enough digestive enzymes.

Wide digested circle = enzymes are present

161
Q

Lipid absorption test mechanism, normal value

A

Will be decreased!

determine whether there is existing lipid malabsorption, maldigestion , especially in EPI or chronic small bowel disease. When there is fast lipid intake in normal conditions, plasma triglycerol (TG) concentration rises to twice as the

normal value (normal for dogs: 1 mmol/l).

162
Q

Lipid absorption test method

A

1️⃣ blood sampling
2️⃣ corn oil is given orally
3️⃣ Blood sampling should be performed at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th hours after admin

Min twofold rise is normal in TG. No change: give enzymes and corn oil mix, incubate at 37˚C, check conc every hour.

No change: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), intestinal absorption defect

163
Q

Faecal elastase test

A

low!

Similar diagnostic value has the faecal elastase test which is performed by ELISA method. In this case a specific method is used to determine whether the faecal sample contains elastse or not. In case of EPI elastase is generally not found in measurable quantity.

164
Q

Examining undigested particles in faecal sample. Mechanism

A

Three faecal smears should be prepared.
1️⃣) One smear is stained with Giemsa - striated mm
2️⃣) Second is stained with Lugol-solution (containing. Iodine) - starch
3️⃣) Third sample is stained with Sudan III.-solution. - fat
4️⃣ gram stain for bacterial flore

165
Q

undigested particles in faecal sample interpretation

A

1) In Giemsa-stained smear undigested striated muscle fibers (from meat) can be seen.
2) In Lugol-stained smears we can see undigested starch particles as bluish patches
(Lugol-solution is brown and it turns blue when starch is added to it)
3) In Sudan III-stained smears undigested lipid particles can be seen as red droplets

If EPI is suspected to be complicated with severe bacterial enteritis, Gram-staining of one faecal smear can help us choosing the right antibiotic before bacterial culture of the faeces is ready (it tekes some days, but severe enteritis should be treated immediately).

166
Q

A amylase production and excretion, normal range

A

Production: pancreas, small intestines, parotid gland

Exretion: kidney and liver

Below 1000
