Random 2 Flashcards
Who is predisposed to rhabdomyosarcoma?
Young, female, large breed dogs (St. Bernard)
Where do rhabdomyosarcomas occur most commonly?
Larynx, heart
Paraneoplastic syndrome associated with rhabdomyosarcoma
Hypertrophic osteopathy
What stain do you use to visualize cross-striations in cytoplasm of strap cells?
PTAH
Who gets urothelial cell carcinoma?
Scottish terrier
West Highland terrier
Shetland sheepdog
IHC for urothelial cell carcinoma
Uroplakin III
Toxic principle of heavy metal (gold) toxicity
Affinity for mitochondria of PCT- direct toxicity
IC deposition
Toxic principle of lead toxicity
Inhibits gamma-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and ferrochelatase (enzymes in the biosynthesis of heme)
Also impairs osteoclast function, causing “lead lines”
Key histo findings with lead toxicity?
Cortical laminar necrosis, PAS positive INIBs in renal PCT cells with karymegaly
Key lesions in hypervitaminosis D
Metastatic mineralization of kidneys, gastric mucosa, lungs, endocardium, arterial walls
Abundant basophilic matrix in bones (produced by osteoblasts)
What mice are sensitive to chloroform toxicity?
Only males; DBA and C3H
What’s the toxic principle for chloroform toxicity?
Metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes to phosgene (COCl2), which depletes glutathione and results in peroxidative damage to membranes
What is the metabolic pathway of ethylene glycol?
Ethylene glycol–>glycoaldehyde–>glycolic acid–>glyoxylic acid (glyoxalate)–>oxalic acid and glycine
Which toxic principle in ethylene glycol toxicity causes CNS signs?
Ethylene glycol
Which toxic principle(s) in ethylene glycol toxicity is nephrotoxic? Mechanism?
Glycoaldehyde and glyoxylic acid; ATP depletion and damage to membranes and enzymes
Which toxic principle of ethylene glycol toxicity causes metabolic acidosis?
Glycolic acid
