Lecture 8 Flashcards
who discovered ngf
rita levi montalcini
what are the hallmarks of inflammation
-heat
-redness
-swelling
-pain
-loss of function
true or false: steroids are inflamatory agents
false, they are anti inflammatory
what are the side effects of steroids
-blurred vision
-weight gain
-depression
-bloody stoo;l
what are allogens
Algogens are substances that can induce pain when they come into contact with tissues in the body. Some examples of algogens include capsaicin, which is found in spicy foods, and acetic acid, which is found in vinegar. These substances can activate pain receptors in the body, leading to the sensation of pain.
what is one of the main drawbacks of willow bark
salicylic acid is rough on the stomach
what is aspirin made of
acetylsalicyclic acid
what do nsaid do?
they block cox1 and cox2 which usually turn pgh2 into a bunch of things
what does cpges and mpges?
they make more pge and this acts on mast cells and nociceptors
true or false: nsaids are mid efficacy
false they are wuite a slay
what is cox 1
-constituteky expressed enzyme
-side effects: platelets, stomach, intestine and kidney
-normal cell functions aka housekeeping functins
what happens to cox 2 under nsaids
-inducible enzyme
-kills pain and helps marophages
-inflammation, regulation of electrolyte balance and fertility, vasoprotection and cardioprotein
true or fase: coxibs are a slay
no they are not, they got yeeted out
what is another name for acetaminophen
paracetamol
sensory transduction can be activated by:
-heat
-cold
-touch
-cell lysis
-chemicals
TRPA1 is for
-cinnamon
-horseradish
-garlic
TRPM8 is for?
-mint
TRPV4 is for
BAA
TRPV3 is for…
camphor
TRPV1 is for
spicyyyyyy
what is TRPV2 for
we dunno
who discovered TRPV1
david julius
what can activate trpv1
a lot of things like capsaicin
clinical trial of TRPV1 antagonists
-they were supposed to block reception
-all had a small fever but it went away
-they all still had to drop it out
capsaicin analgesia: how does trpv1 agonist kill pain
-it will hurt but then it will be fine
-it will overstimulate the ion channels and they will be desensitized
what are the channels that are in charge of transduction of mechanical pain
-tacan
-piezo which is a big slay
who found piezo
ardem ratapoutian
what happens to iion channels when there is pain
there is the naK pump
-na in and k out
-there is always the k+overshoot aka hyperpolarization
which channel do you wanna block for analgesic
-wanna block na+ channel
-or enhance K+pump
what does lidocaine do
-block the local Na channel which means no ap which means numbness
what is the mist important mammalian voltage gated sodium channel gene
nav1.7
the others are 1.8 and 1.9
what are the inherited disorders of the scn9(nav1.7) gene
-HSAN aka they feel nothing;loss of function mutation
-paraxysmal extreme pain disorder aka only in babies and makes red patches on their assesand it also causes pain and erythema’;gain of function mutation
-primary erythromelalgia causes pain and erythema on hands and feet caused by gain of function mutation
true or false: gene expression in the drg changes after nerve injury
true
central terminal of primary sensory neuron; thc
THC blocks CB1 which means less release of glutamine
central terminal of primary sensory neuron; pregabalin
pregabaline blocks voltage gated calcium channel which means that it will block the release of glutamate because no ca+ means no fusion of the bubbles
dorsal horn neuron; morphine
morphine blocks GIRK which means no signal is gonna get transduced
dorsal horn neuron; ketamine blocks….
ketamine blocks NMDA, AMPA and mGluR which means no inhibition which means excitTION
