Q

Explanation of insulin secretion

A

When BG is high, we will get a large influx of glucose through Glut 2 transporters into the beta cell.

That glucose is metabolized via glycolysis to produce ATP

High levels of ATP bind to the potassium channels on the cell surface (inward rectifying K+ channel that maintains the normal membrane polarization).

ATP closes the potassium channels, depolarizing the membrane making us more positive.

This causes VG- CA++ channels to open
Ca++ rushes into cell and increased Ca++ levels bind to the vesicle complex that contains the stored insulin

The vesicle then fuses with the cell membrane and releases insulin into the blood

Q

How does warfarin work?
Reversals?

A

through oxidation/reduction reactions on the various factors that are in the blood coagulation cascade like thrombin.

Reversal: Vit. K and FFP

Q

what are the incretin based therapies and MOA

A

GLP-1 agonist
DPP-4 antagonists

-GI like hormones

DPP-4 enzyme inactivates GLP-1 (DPP-4 inhibitors inhibit this)

GLP-1 stimulates insulin release and inhibits glucagon release
lowers BG

Q

What are the 4 different types of lipoproteins? Where are they produced?
What is their basic role?

A
  1. Chylomicrons: formed in intestine (dietary)
    Carry triglycerides and cholesterol
  2. VLDL: secreted from liver
    Converts to LDL
  3. LDL: made from LDL
    Transports cholesterol and binds to LDL-r
  4. HDL: not sure where made.. Liver?
    scavenger of cholesterol from cells

Q

calculate the LDL to HDL cholesterol risk ratio:

LDL=120
HDL=40

LDL=60
HDL=60

LDL=200
HDL=40

LDL=120
HDL=30

A

120/4=3 average risk

60/60=1 half average

200/40=5 twice average

200/30=6.66 about 3 times average
(I know this math ain’t mathin I was going off his slides & recording)
This is the risk of the pt. getting coronary artery disease

Q

what causes an inflammatory response?

A

release of COX from the cell membrane

20
Q

acute effects of glucocorticoids?

A

suppresses inflammation!

21
Q

what is the thought process behind anti-inflammatory drugs like daily low dose asa helping in the prevention of cancer?

A

reduce NFKB and STAT 3 which drive cell cycle progression

22
Q

in pharm which fiber transmits pain?

A

C fibers

23
Q

in pharm, which fibers can help in lateral inhibition when you have pain?

A

a fibers

24
Q

which pain pathway is more psychological?

A

spinoreticular

25
Q

which pain pathway is more physical?

A

spinothalamic

26
Q

which pathway do we use to shut down pain via endogenous endorphins being released into the periaqueductal grey area where there the area is rich in _____ receptors?

A

spinomesolimbic
Mu

27
Q

what are the 2 symptoms from opioids that you canNOT develop a tolerance to?

A

miosis
constipation

28
Q

Tolerance vs dependence

A

tolerance: need more and more for the same effect
dependence: continuation despite negative effects
withdrawal symptoms usually happen if try to stop

29
Q

difference in gram + and gram - bacteria

A

gram + have a big fat wall so stains purple. Release exotoxins.

gram - have a skinny wall so stains pink.
Have 2 outer cell membrane with little hairs called lipopolysaccharide. When those are released into the body they’re called endotoxins which can be very dangerous.

30
Q

what is a capsid?

A

an outer shell around a nucleic acid. ALL viruses have these 2 things at minimum

31
Q

what is an envelope? (Virus)

A

an outer cell membrane that was made by the cell that the virus has infected.

32
Q

what is a retrovirus?

A

start as RNA and converted into DNA. The virus’s DNA gets put into the human DNA and is there forever now.
i.e. HIV
does this via reverse transcriptase. Drug target.

33
Q

what is a virus spike?

A

the “honing beacon” that targets a specific cell protein

34
Q

What is a naked virus?

A

a virus without an envelope

35
Q

draw a beta lactam ring

A

The red part

36
Q

what are the 3 populations of different types of organisms that we have in the body when you have bacterial infection:

A

highly sensitive organisms
intermediate organisms
highly resistant organisms

37
Q

what are the effects or premature termination of antibiotic treatment?

A

day 0:
a lot of all 3-
highly sensitive organisms
intermediate organisms
highly resistant organisms

day 3:
small amount left of highly sensitive organisms
a little intermediate organisms
a lot of highly resistant organisms

Day 6:
barely any highly sensitive organisms
a couple intermediate organisms
still quite a few highly resistant organisms

-people stop abx here but the highly resistant bacteria are still in too high of a number for the body to be able to kill it so we get abx resistance

38
Q

define athetosis

A

slow and writhing

39
Q

define dystonia

A

abnormal posture

40
Q

define tics

A

single repetitive movements especially of the face

41
Q

define chorea

A

muscle jerks in various areas

43
Q

what drug can help with the on-off phenomenon in Parkinson’s?

A

apomorphine

44
Q

what is the on off phenomenon in Parkinson’s?

A

periods of increased mobility followed by marked akinesia. Some people take a drug holiday to help but not recommended

45
Q

What is benign hereditary chorea?

A

autosomal dominant disorder occurs in childhood-no progression. Treat with tetrabenazine

46
Q

what is Gowers sign ?

A

Go from downwards facing dog to standing- toddler should stand right up .
If Dowers sign is positive the toddler will place hands on knees to push themselves up because they don’t have enough strength in their back to stand straight up.

Positive is a sign of Duchenne’s disease.
