35
Q

Let us delve into a cellular molecular pathway

A

See Below

36
Q

Normal paracrine (localized secretion to affect activity) regulation of osteoclast and osteoblast

A

●Osteoclasts are originally macrophage precursor cells
●Receptor activator for nuclear factor ΚB (RANK)
●RANK receptors are on the Osteoclast precursor
●Stromal or osteoblasts release RANK ligand
●Stromal or osteoblasts release macrophage cell stimulating factor (M-CSF)

37
Q

The key event that leads to bone resorption

A

● The key event that leads to bone resorption
RANK ligand + RANK receptor on osteoclast precursor
+
M-CSF ligand + M-CSF receptor on osteoclast precursor
↓
activate to differentiate to osteoclast mature cell

38
Q

● COUNTER BALANCE by the Stromal or osteoblasts release osteoprotegerin (OPG)which blocks the RANK ligand + RANK receptor interaction on osteoclast precursor

A

View image in textbook if more description needed

39
Q

What changes to lead to postmenopausal pathophysiology of osteoporosis?

A

 decrease estrogen postmenopause leads to increased osteoclast activity
and a period of accelerated loss
● increased osteoclast activity
● LOW estrogen leads to increase IL-1, IL-6, and TNF which in turn leads to increase in RANK and RANK ligand and less OPG. Ultimately, will lead to more osteoclast activity

40
Q

Acquired Diseases of Bone development

A

See below

41
Q

Paget’s Disease (Osteitis Deformans):

A
  • chronic bone inflammation
    -repetitive episodic regional resorption of bone followed by rapid bone formation
    -the result is disorganized and not as strong as normal
    -cuase could be a paramyxovirus infection-not conclusive yet
    -Which bones affected?
    can be a variety of bones- see text for examples
    -numerous skeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular complications possible- symptoms related to bone deformations or nerve impingement
    -many cases are mild
    -sometimes during episodes, the overlying skin in warm
    -if skull proliferating, can have headache, auditory, and visual problems
    -Low back ache
  • bowing of lone bones
42
Q

Metabolic and Nutritional Bone Alterations

A

Rickets/Osteomalacia

43
Q

Rickets

A
  • Infant or growing child
  • Lack of Vitamin D
  • bowed legs and other deformities
44
Q

Osteomalacia

A
  • adults
  • calcium and or phosphorus deficiency
  • disease or nutritional
45
Q

Osteonecrosis (Avascular necrosis):

A

Ischemic necrosis followed by bone infarction
Causes:
Vascular compression or disruption such as following a fracture
 steroids
 thromboembolic disease
 primary vessel disease

46
Q

Clinical course of osteonecrosis

A
  • depends on size and location

- range from pain to osteoarthritis

47
Q

Osteomyelitis

A

inflammation of bone and marrow cavity
usually due to an infection
-most common are pyogenic bacteria and mycobacterium tuberculosis

48
Q

Joints

A

see diseases below

49
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

-degenerative joint disease
 joint damage and inflammation caused by biochemical alteration of articular cartilage in one or a few joints
 inflammation part is secondary and not always present
 etiology unknown for primary osteoarthritis
associated with age
 secondary osteoarthritis is due to trauma or infection or gender predisposition (hips in men, hands/knees in women)

50
Q

Pathophysiology of Osteoarthritis:

A
  • proliferation chondrocytes(cartilage cells) of articular cartilage
  • matrix integrity cracks
  • cartilage degraded
  • expose bone
  • stress on bone stimulates disordered growth
  • maybe synovial inflammation
51
Q

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

A

joint pain, a.m. stiff, limit of movement

inflammatory component has been controversial:

  • whether it is primary or secondary, it occurs
  • anti-inflammatory drugs have not been able to reverse or necessarily slow disease progression
52
Q

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):

A 
-autoimmune
humoral and cellular
- inflammatory joint
- etiology unknown
genetic and environment likely
- Under investigation: viruses
human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I
retroviruses
Epstein-Barr virus
Herpes virus
Rubella virus
- bacteria under investigation
mycoplasma
mycobacteria
enteric bacteria
-antibodies- rheumatoid factors to synovial lymphocyte generated IgG which is considered foreign
 T lymphocytes migrate to area
CD4+ (recruit other inflammatory WBCs)
 synovial membranes joints and other tissue
 joint destruction, neuropathies, skeletal muscle inflammation, vasculitis, other
53
Q

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Active Disease

A 
ongoing joint pain
significant morning stiffness
significant fatigue
active synovitis
persistant increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein
54
Q

Hyperuricemia and Gout

A
  • increase serum uric acid
  • purine breakdown –> uric acid
  • recurrent attacks with urate crystals in synovial fluid
  • aggregated deposits of urate in joints -cripple and deformity
  • renal disease
55
Q

Primary Gout: (90% of cases)

enzyme defects unknown

A
  • overproduction of uric acid
  • normal excretion (majority)
  • increased excretion (minority)
  • under excretion of uric acid with normal production
56
Q

Secondary Gout: (10% of the cases)

associated with increased nucleic acid turnover - e.g. leukemia’s, chronic renal disease, inborn errors of metabolism

A
  • Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion
  • Reduced excretion of uric acid with normal production -Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion e.g.,
  • complete HGPRT deficiency (Lesch-Nyhan syndrome)
57
Q

Clinical features of Gout

A

● pain that can be severe, warmth, erythema
● 50% in big toe, 90% in instep, ankle, heal, wrist
● Systemic symptoms rare
● Acute recurring episodes of various frequencies (months to few years)
● Untreated can resolve
● over time the symptoms fail to resolve completely and develop chronic tophaceous gout
