Quiz #2 Study Guide Flashcards

1
Q

General principles of virology include

A
  • A virus cannot replicate on its own.
  • It must attach to and enter a host cell.
  • It then uses the host cell’s energy to synthesize protein, DNA and RNA.
  • Viruses are difficult to kill because they live inside cells. (Any drug that kills a virus also kill healthy cells)

Q

Pathophysiology of MS

A

Autoreactive T and B cells cross the blood-brain barrier and recognize myelin and oligodendrocyte autoantigens

Triggers inflammation and loss of oligodendrocytes (myelin producing cells)

Activation of brain macrophages contribute to inflammation and injury with plaque formation and axonal degeneration

Loss of myelin disrupts nerve conduction and death of neurons and brain

Cirrhosis

A

Irreversible inflammatory disease that disrupts liver function and structure.

56
Q

Pathophysiology of Cirrhosis

A

  3. Decreased bile in the GI -> light/clay colored stool
  4. Decreased fat digestion -> decreased Vitamin K -> decreases clotting factors -> increases bleeding tendencies.
  5. Increased urobilinogen -> concentrated dark urine.
  6. Decreased protein hormones like angiotensinogen -> activates compensatory
  7. Increased ammonia and presence of toxic substances -> encephalopathy
57

59
Q

Vitamin K

A

Treats and prevents unusual bleeding by increasing body’s production of clotting factors.

60
Q

Lactulose

A

Is a laxative -> traps toxic compounds in the colon -> loosening or increasing frequency of stools.

61
Q

Adverse Effects of Diuretics

A

Drop in Ca, take calcium supplements

62

71
Q

What types of immune responses occur after an organ transplant?

A

Often humoral response - acute (Antibodies destroy transplanted tissue within days)
Cell mediated response is slower, about 2 weeks after surgery - chronic

72
Q

MHC molecules

A

The antigens that the body recognizes as foreign

73
Q

Tissue Rejection occurs in 2 Stages

A
  1. Sensitization: lymphocytes are alerted and respond to foreign MHC molecules. Rapid proliferation stage.
  2. If body is not suppressed adequately: the graft is then destroyed by everlasting cellular and molecular mechanisms.
74
Q

Types of Rejection: 3 Phases

A
  1. Hyperacute rejection
  2. Acute Rejection
  3. Chronic Rejection
75
Q

Hyperacute Rejection

A

Occurs within 24 hours, the graft isn’t vascularized into the body usually d/t the presence of preexisting antibodies that try to fight off the antigen.

76
Q

Acute Rejection

A

Occurs within 1st week, HLA given to the patient matches patient HLA and host will not reject the graft or there is mismatching blood transfusions and the body makes antibodies to attack antigens which lead to rejection.

77
Q

Chronic Rejection

A

Occurs in several years, resulting from multiple types of acute rejection that the body goes through.
Put on long term immunosuppressive agents.

78
Q

Patients with SLE usually die due to

A

Complications of disease i.e infection or renal effect

79
Q

Zidovudine: MOA

A

Structurally like thymine in DNA structure, so it will mimic the reverse transcriptase and cause an ineffective DNA strand.

80
Q

Liver Function: Storage of large amounts of blood

A

In cases of hemorrhage or trauma, liver is able to maintain adequate amounts of blood

81
Q

Liver function: synthesis of all clotting factors

A

Prothrombin, fibrinogen and factors I, II, VII, IX and X.

82
Q

Liver Function: Vitamin K

A

Vit K is essential for synthesis of other clotting factors -> absorption of K depends on adequate bile production.
(So if liver isn’t function to synthesize and produce bile -> inadequate synthesis of Vit K occurs -> inadequate synthesis of other clotting factors)

83
Q

Liver Function: Kupffer cells

A

Play important role in destroying intestinal bacteria and preventing infections. (Important cell in liver that allows the liver to actually fight bacteria)

84
Q

Liver Function: Fat Synthesis

A

Fat is synthesized from carbohydrates and protein

85
Q

Liver Function: Synthesis of plasma proteins

A

Including albumins (maintains oncotic pressure) and globulins (RBC production)

86
Q

Liver Function: Synthesizes serum enzymes

A 
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP
87
Q

Liver Function: Gluconeogenesis

A

Responsible for the production of glucose when there is a glucose imbalance.

88
Q

Liver Function: Detoxification

A

Metabolic detoxication or bio transformation -> diminishes intestinal or renal tubular reabsorption of potentially toxic substances and facilitates intestinal and renal excretion.

89
Q

What kinds of substances are metabolized or detoxified in the liver?

A 
Alcohol*
Barbiturates*
Amphetamines
Steroids*
Hormones (aldosterone, estrogens, antidiuretic hormone, testosterone)
