Pathoma 1: Growth and Immune stuff Flashcards
What are the permanent tissues that only undergo hypertrophy?
Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Nerves
Osteoblastic bone metastasis
prostate cancer, small cell lung ca, hodgkin lymphoma
What symptoms for CO poisoning?
Cherry red appearance, confusion.
How to treat CO poisoning?
100% O2
How to treat methemoglobinemia
methylene blue
What are the irreversible signs of ischemic injury?
Membrane damage (plasma, mitochondria, lysosome)
When do you see calcium saponification?
Fat necrosis: trauma to fat and fatty acids are released. Can get dystrophic calcification.
What is the outcome of malignant hypertension?
Fibrinoid necrosis
What are the causes of fibrinoid necrosis
malignant hypertension and vasculitis
Draw the Apoptosis pathways. What are the different pathways and how are they activated? What do they all converge on?
Intrinsic: Release of Cytochrome C from the mitochondria is sensed and prevented by Bcl-2. –> Caspases
Extrinsic: FasL on T cells binds FAS R (CD95). Or TNF binds TNF R on target.
CD8 Tcell pathway: Perforins/Granzyme
What are the avenues of free radial injury?
Cytochrome C oxidase (during oxphos) Ionizing radiation Inflammation, Metals Acetaminophen (decreased glutathione) Carbon Tetrachloride (metabolized by P450, causes decreased apolipoproteins, then fat accumulation--> fatty change in liver)
What are the two types of systemic amyloid protein deposition?
Primary: AL from iG light change and is associated with plasma cell dyscrasias (MGUS, MM, Waldenstroms)
Secondary: AA from SAA, which is an acute phase reactant. Associated with chronic inflammatory state or familial mediteranean fever (episodes of fever, serosal inflammation)
When do you suspect and how can you diagnose systemic amyloid deposition?
Nephrotic syndrome, Restrictive cardiomyopathy, HSM, tongue enlargement
What are some manifestation of amyloid deposition in tissues?
Senile cardiac amyloidosis, NIDDM, Alzheimer’s (AB amyloid on chromosome 21), Dialysis associated (B2 microblogin in joints), Medullary carcinoma of thyroid (C-Cells- tumor cells in amyloid background)
Draw the aracondonic acid pathway? What are the two enzymes that control the first branch?
COX: makes prostaglandins which vasodilate, increase permeability in post cap venule. PGE2 produces Fever and Pain.
5-Lipooxygenase: makes Leukotrienes. LTB4 attracts PMNs. LTC4, D4, E4 produce vasoconstriction, bronchospasm, and increase vascular permeability
What attracts PMNs?
C5a, LTB4, Bacterial products, IL8
How are Mast cells activated?
1) C3a/C5a
2) Cross-linking of IgE by antigen
3) Tissue trauma
What are the immediate and delayed activities of mast cells
1) Histamine degranulation
2) Produces aracodonic acid derivatives, particularly leukotrienes
What complements trigger mast cells?
C3a and C5a
What complement recruits neutrophils?
C5a
What complement serves as an opsonin for phagocytosis?
C3b
Where is Hageman factor produced and how is it activated?
By the liver and by the endothelium
What does Hageman factor do?
It activates coagulation/fibrin, complement, and the kinin system
How does fever work?
Macrophages release IL-1 and TNF which promotes hypothalamus to increase COX activity and increase PGE2 levels.
