Patho 101 Flashcards
What’s polyploidy?
Multiplication of chromosomes set when haploid set greater than diploid, which is rare in human being due to spontaneous abortion in human being.
Aneuploidy
Is a group of genomic mutations with changed chromosomes number, this is caused by non disjunction or anaphase lag.
Aneuploidy diseases with autosome number?
Down syndrome
Trisomy 18
Trisomy 13
Aneuploidy with sex chromosomes diseases
Turner syndrome 44, XO
Triple X (44, XXX)
Klinefelter (44, XXY)
44 XYY
Explain Down syndrome
Translocation of chromosomal 21 translocated into 14.
85% survival into 50s
Mortality: congenital heart failure, respiratory infection, increased risk of leukaemia leading to Alzheimer’s disease.
Morphological: branchcephaly, short neck, single palmer crease, clindodactyly. Older children are passionate and music lovers.
Trisomy 18 or Edward syndrome
Growth deficiency
Clenched hands with overlapping digits, rocker bottom feet, cardiac defects, renal abnormalities, radial defects, exomplalos, myelomeningocele, oesophageal atresia.
Patau syndrome
Structural abnormality of the brain.
Holoproencephalyµcephaly, facial and eye abnormality, exomphalos, scalp defects, congenital heart failure, cleft lip and palate, renal abnormality. Survivals have severe mental and physical disabilities associated with epilepsy, blindness and deafness.
Vasoconstrictors
Norepinephrine, endothelin-1, thombaxane A2, Epinephrine, Angiotensin ll, decreased local temperature, Autoregulation, neuripeptide Y.
Vasodilators
NO, Kinins, prostacyclin, Epinephrine, Histamine, increased local temperature , increased CO2 and decreased O2.
Micro circulation during arterial hyperemia
Arterial hyperemia dilation - precapillar sphincter relaxation - increase in volumes and linear blood flow- increase of functioning capillaries number.
Reactive oxygen species
Singlets oxygen, superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorite acid
Ros producers and ros destroyers
Producers
Mitochondria respiratory chain
NADPH OXIDASE
SUPEROXIDE DISmutase
Cytochrome p450
Cyclooxygenase
Lipoxygenase
Xantine oxidase
Destroyers
Superoxide dismutase family
Catalase
Selenoproteins
Peroxiredoxins
Nitric oxide
Uncoupling protein
Glutathione system
What’s Radical Chain
A radical reaction mechanism in which one or more steps are repeated many times until the chain is terminated or depleted.
What’s modified ROS
Specific cysteine residues which were discovered in redox sensitive proteins.
Purine and pyrindine
Purine
Adenine and guanine
Pyrimidine
Cytosine, thymine, uracil.
