Polysacc - think killed vaccine - only stim B cell immunity (Abs), esp true in infants b/c immature humoral immunity
Conjugate means you attached the bug to something that boosts immune response - T + B cell immunity
21
Q
Explain FAS ligand system. If the FAS R/L system of a T cell is not working, what should happen?
A
Activate T cell -> start express FasL - can bind Fas R on same or adjacent lymphocytes
During clonal expansion, wil undergo apoptosis by this mechanism if in the constant presence of self antigens
Apoptosis via caspases
Mutations of FAS R/L can prevent apoptosis of auto reactive lymphocytes increasing risk of AI
22

1st = + selection @ cortex (immature T cells) - do you have enough affinity for own MHC aka can you do your job (not enough, apoptosis)
Via **thymic cortical epithelial cells**
2nd = - selection @ medulla (mature T cells) - how much do you react to self antigen - too much affinity = apoptosis
Via **thymic medullary epic cells and dendritic cells**
27
What is the mutation, inheritance pattern, and triad of symptoms for ataxia telangiectasia

3. Increase risk sinopulm infections - b/c IgA def
28
What immune mechanism would make you immune to the flu?
Ab vs hemagglutinin either b/c pre infected with that strain or got the vaccine
These Abs neutralize virus
Other choice might be Ab vs neuraminidase but this isn't main source of protection against reinfection (do decrease extent of viral invasion and shedding)
Remember, T cells response (vs nucleocapsid proteins) is a RESPONSE, doesn't help prevent infection
29
Name an anti-IgE Ab and it's therapy use
Omalizumab = IgG vs IgE
Use for severe asthma (T1 HST rxn) to prevent future asthma attacks
H1 R antag not for asthma but for allergic symptoms instead
30

Protein + ubiquitin tag
Ubiquitin ligase breaksdown intracell proteins (native and foreign)
Particles are paired to MHC 1 being made in the ER then sent together to membrane
31
```
Describe difference between
Anti HBs
Anti HBc IgM
Anti HBc IgG
Anti HBe
```
1. Long term immunity b/c vaccination or resolve acute Hep B infection
2. Window phase = HBsAg + IgM vs Bs present
3. Present in both chronic + acute infection
4. Chronically infected person w/ low viral rep/infectivity (low viral = anti BeAg, high viral = BeAg)
Acute infect = IgM +/- IgG HBc, HBV DNA + HBeAg = markers active viral rep
Recover from acute = anti HBs + HBc
Chronic infection = IgG HBc with HBsAg present in blood
32
What serum marker indicates chronic Hep B infection? High viral replication/infectivity of a chronic infection? Chronic infection w/ low viral rep?
HBsAg = surface antigen present > 6mo = chronic infection (therefore if gone within 6 mo acute infection was resolved)
HBeAg = Hep B e antigen = high viral rep
Chronic w/ low viral = no HBe Ag, +anti HBeAg
33
Meds to prevent vs treat acute cell med graft rejection - what's the histo pattern
T cell rejection = vasculitis of graft vessels with dense lymphocyte infiltrate
Prevent w/ calcineurin Is (cyclosporine or tacrolimus)
Treat w/ corticosteroids added to above
34
What is the difference in the process and location of VDJ recombination and isotope switching
Bone marrow - VDJ (heavy chain) and VJ (light chain) recomb allows each B cell to make single specific Abs
LNs - somatic hypermutation for affinity maturation + isotyp switching (CD 40 R + CD40 L on activated Th cells)
35
Describe the mechanism of cell damage in T1-4 HST rxns
T1 - IgE mediated --> histamine
T2 - Ab vs your tissue mediated - pulls in complement etc
T3 - Ab-antigen complex in blood deposits in tissues (post strep GN) activating complement
T4 - CD 4 + CD 8 T cells + macrophages (NO EOS)
36
Describe symptoms of all 4 steps of blood transfusion rxns
1. Allergic rxn aka the usual

3. Febrile nonhemolytic transfusion rxn (T2 HST) - nonspecific but FEVER
4. Acute hemolytic transfusion rxn (T2 HST) - flank pain, blood in urine, jaundice
37
Mechanism of IgA
Prevent mucosal colonization
| If bacteria cleave this can bind mucosa - Neisseria, strep pneuma, H influ
38
Which Abs can cross maternal fetal circulation?
IgG - temp immunity until 6 mo
| Baby gets IgA via breast feeding
39
Describe presentation of selective IgA def
Mucosal def - sinopulm + GI bugs

Langerhans cells
Stellar cells w/ intracytoplasmic granules have shape of a tennis racket
Will activate T cells (co sim B7)
Vs Kupffer cells - macrophage of the liver
Vs monocytes -> macrophages in skin that don't have those granules
41
What is the cell receptor that HIV uses to infect the immune system
CCR5 = chemokine receptor on macrophages and T cells
CD4 + CCR5 binds gp120
Deletion of both copies CCR5 gene = HIV immunity
42

IVC in front of aorta most of the abdomen until get to the femoral bifurcation when drops behind
49
Post total R hip replacement - leans to R side when walking and when standing on R leg left hip tilts down
Which nerve is impaired
Sup gluteal nerve - glut med, min, and TFL
Stabilize pelvis + aBduct
Weak glut med + min can't contract so unaffected side pelvis sag when standing on affected leg
Pt will lean to the affected side during walking to compensate for hip drop
50
3 yo boy - intel disability + speech delay
226 CGG trinuc repeats on X chromosome
What it the cause of clinical condition
Fragile X = gene methylation of FMR1 gene = fragile X mental retardation 1

52
Why would someone say Carvidopa/levadopa's response is unpredictable?
On/off periods
Advanced PD - motor flux can occur indeed on med dosing -> unpredictable
Due to progressive nigrostriatal neurodeg decreases therapeutic window for CD/LD NOT enhanced drug metabolism later in disease

59
Which immune cells attack cells w/ decreased MHC 1 expression?
NK cells
60
What is the anti-RhD Ab?
Give IgG Ab to Rh - mom w/ Rh + baby
In case some of baby's blood gets into mom's circulation, preformed Ab will take care of it without activating systemic circulation
IgG isn't a big problem here b/c the amt is so small there is no hemolysis in the fetus (since IgG cross placenta)
61
Where does the IL2 for the second signal on T cells come from?
That T cell!
Bind TCR -> induce transcription of IL2 to act on self
Cyclosporin + tacrolimus = calcineurin Is so can't do this via NFAT
Conversely, balsiliximab + daclizumab block IL2 binding
Sirolimus X mTOR which is the down stream effect of IL 2 binding (don't increase NFkB)
Otherwise could use azothiopurine, MMF or glucocorticoids (x NFkB)
62

1. Breast
2. Lung " "
3. CRC - #3 deaths too
```
63
Describe orthostatic hypotension and the compensatory response - name conditions that cause this
Something drops venous return to heart
Less ventricle filling -> drop CO -> drop BP
Baroreceptor reflex -> sympa tone
@ a1 (VSM) increase TPR
@ B1 (heart) increase HR + contractility
If taking a1 blockers for BPH (treason, doxazosin) hypovol, hyperglycemia, autonomic dysfxn (Parkinsons)
64
What is weird about the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla?
Sympa pre-gang neurons synapse DIRECTLY onto adrenal medulla (no intermediate ganglia)

Goes through the splanchnic gang but doesn't synapse here
Secrete E 80% > NE 20%
65
Describe an S3 - how you listen to it and what it means
Comes right after S2
@ apex, L lat decubitus
Either young people/athletes whose hearts are so strong its pushing more blood down from atrial during diastole
Old people indicating LHF b/c blood flow into an overfilled ventricle w high end systolic vol (vol overloaded state in the heart b/c can't pump out leads to vol overload state peripherally)
66
Describe why you get pulsus paradoxus during cardiac tamponade
Tamponade = extra pericardial fluid prevents ventricles from expanding freely
Therefore, inspo increases venous return to heart
Intravent septum bulges into LV so the RV can accommodate this load (since the heart as a whole is limited by pericardial fluid)
Decreases LV filling = pulsus paradoxus aka BP drops during inspo b/c you're LV vol decreases -> decrease CO -> decrease BP
67

Describe primary carnitine def
FA OXIDATION
FAs (acyl CoA synthase) -> ACoA + carnitine -> now can enter mitochondria as acyl-carnitine (will go into TCA cycle)
No carnitine - can't do this
Skeletal + cardiac muscle can't use FA -> ATP
Liver can't make ketone bodies (acetoacetate!!!) if glucose gets low - deficiency will de downstream of the problem
SYMPTOMS
1. Muscle weak
2. Cardiomyopathy
3. Hypoketotic hypoG
4. Increased muscle TGs
Vs. palmitate = FA you eat or make but completely based in cytosol - doesn't have carnitine shuttle problem

Comm hydrocele = PV open
Vs. direct inguinal hernia means contents go through ab wall maybe down into scrotum
76
What pathways does ethanol (aka booze) inhibit that results in drop in BG?
```
X gluconeogenesis @ liver
B/c increases NADH/NAD+ ratio
Drives/stops reactions increasing:

Vs optic canal carrying CN2 only
Vs. foramen rotunda comes out of skull into pterygopalatine fossa carrying 5(2) -> inf orbital fissure -> infraorbital foramen = infraorbital nerve
Vs 5(3) via foramen ovale
```
78
Describe what happens to renin, AGT 1 + 2, aldo, and bradykinin on ACE vs ARB
Renin coverts angiotensinogen to AGT1 @ liver
ACE converts AGT 1 -> 2 @ LUNGS
1. Increase renin, AGT1
2. Decrease AGT2, aldo (AGT2 stima aldo release)
3. Increase brady b/c ACE degrades brady = dry cough SE
ARB = AGT 2 blocker (losartan)
1. Increase renin, AGT1, AGT2
2. Decrease aldo

Ext - below dentate line, squamous, branch of pudendal = inf rectal nerve so very sensitive to touch temp pain
Dentate line (wavy line) divides upper 2/3 from lower 1/3 rectum
```
80
If pt gets infective endocarditis post-dental work, what underlying condition is more impt risk factor: mitral valve prolapse or RHD?

4 sections
Duodenal bulb = pylorus -> neck of GB (sits behind liver + GB) - behind it = gastroduodenal art (ulcer), common biliary duct, portal vein
Section 3 = transverse, under SMA (L3 level)
92
What part of SI absorbs fat?
JEJUNUM - passive absorption of fat in micelles
| Digested @ duodenum b/c add pancreatic enzymes + bile
93
Where is trypsinogen secreted and activated? How might you become trypsin def?
From pancreas
Brush border enteropeptidase activates -> trypsin (@ jejunum)
Then trypsin activates all other pancreatic proteases
If def b/c don't have fxnal BB enzymes: fat + protein malabsorption -> infant w/ diarrhea, fail to thrive, edema (due to low blood oncotic P)
94
What stimulates secretin secretion? 2 fxns
Acid stim when hit S cells in pancreas
1. Increase bicarb from pancreas @ DUCTAL CELLS
Big difference: CCK acts a pancreatic acinar cells (imagine flower: stem vs petals)
2. Increase bile secretion
95
When would you supplement an infant with vit D vs Fe?
Breast milk has no vit K or D
1. Get vit K shot at birth to prevent hmm disease of newborn
2. Supplement w/ vit D if exclusively breastfed + low in weight/length to prevent rickets
Also watch out for babies who get no sun exp or are very dark skinned
+ Fe if preterm or low birthweight b/c [Fe] breast milk decreases over time
96
Describe how the great vessels, trachea, and esophagus lay in relation to each other in the chest
Great vessels = most ant
Trachea middle = black w/ air
Esophagus most post lying on top of spine -> is typically collapsed w/ no visible lumen

Intestinal atresia = tripple bubble (PS + ligament of treitz)
98
If a baby presents with an abd cyst that is connected by a fibrous band to the ileum and the umbilicus - what kind of duct abnormalities are you thinking?
Vitelline duct = connects midgut with yolk sac
1. Persistent duct - get meconium discharge from umbilicus
2. Meckel diverticulum - part of SI still attached and pulled toward = diverticulum
3. Vitelline sinus = partial closure w/ patent portion open at belly button
4. Duct cyst (question stem)
99
What is your landmark if you can't find the appendix by palpation during removal?
Taniae coli = longitudinal muscle of the colon
Exists as 3 longitudinal bands - contract to form hausta (which aren't helpful b/c they are the same throughout the colon)
Converge at root of the appendix
100

Incomplete rotation of the gut in utero results in
1. Cecum in RUQ
2. Fibrous bands connecting the RLQ retroperitoneum to the R colon by passing over duodenum -> SI obstruction = bilious emesis
3. Possible occlusion of SMA due to rotation around it
102
```
What are you thinking:
3 days old - green vomit
Normal appearing duodenum
Absence of segment of jejunum + ileum
Remainder of distal ileum winding around thin vasc stalk
```
INTESTINAL ATRESIA due to vasc occlusion
103
What causes the pain associated with appendicitis?
Early appendicitis = organ distension = carry by afferents of ANS = visceral ab pain = poorly localized therefore why ppl first present with epigastric pain
Later = irritate ANT parietal peritoneum aka ab wal - more severe pain that shift to more local location
104
Structures in the hepatoduodenal ligament
Common bile duct
Hepatic art
Portal vein
105
What is the metyrapone stim test - what does it test for? How does it work?
Tests CRH -> ACTH -> cortisol axis
Block the production of cortisol @ ZFasiculata
SHOULD see a rise in ATCH is the axis is intact
Metyrapone X 11 B hydroxylase - increase 11 deoxycortisol (precursor for the reaction) -> metabolizes as 17 OH corticosteroid -> out via urine
If don't see rise in 11/17 cortisol products you know it is an ADRENAL problem
106
What are the actions of mifepristone + misoprostol as the dual drug regimen to terminate a pregnancy?
Mifepristone = P antagonist, binds w/ greater affinity than P, necrosis of uterine decida
Misoprostol = PROSTaglandin E1 analog, cervical softening + uterine contractions so pregnancy can be expelled
Vs MTX = folate antagonist, used for ectopic or to term pre if M/M regimen not avail
107
Describe the problem leading to epispadias vs hypospadias vs bifid scrotum
F urogenital folds (same thing as URETHRAL folds) dont fuse = labial minora
Hypospadias = urethra on BOTTOM of penis (hypo = under) b/c fail fuse urogenital folds
Epispadias = urethra on TOP b/c faulty position of genital tubercle (becomes the penis in M, clitoris in F)
Bifid scrotum = malunion of LABIO SCROTAL folds (labia MAJORA in women)
108
Name the group of muscles responsible for forearm flex, wrist flex, wrist extension
```
Wrist extension (origin @ LAT epicondyle "tennis elbow" b/c of backhand) = extensor digitorum + extensor carpi radialis brevis
Wrist flexion (MED epicondyle, "golfer's elbow")
Forearm flex = biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis
```
109
What stage is an egg arrested in before fertilization?
3. Metaphase of meiosis 2!!! How released from ovary
Fertilization allows progress to telophase 2 (barr body 2)
2. Makes sense - meiosis 1 gets you half chromosome # (barr body 1)
1. Eggs also arrest in prophase of meiosis 1 before puberty
110
Describe the presentation and nerve injured by ant dislocation of humerus
Happens when hit arm during throw - ext rot + abduction
1. Flattening of deltoid
2. Protrusion of acromion
Ax nerve injury - abduction of should BEYOND 1st 15 degrees via deltoid and teres minor + sensory to skin over lateral shoulder
111
Describe complete vs partial hydatidiform moles
Complete "bunch of grapes", snowstorm on US
1. Completely formed - diploid chromosomes aka fertilized
2. Completely a mole - no fetal tissue b/c empty ovum that was fertilized, completely edematous vili
*p 57 negative b/c no maternal genome*
3. Complete covering of vili in blasts = higher BhCG - causes THECA LUTEIN CYSTS
4. Complete risk of choriocarcinoma - why you monitor BhCG after D&C removal
Partial = normal ovum fert by 2 sperm (69 chromosomes) -> fetal tissue present, some vili, focal trophoblastic proliferation, minimal risk for chorio
112
What would high AFP protein in a preg woman suggest?
Neural tube defects, twins, ab wall defects
113
Which GP bug presents w/ GREY pharyngeal exudate? Name everything you know about this bug
Clost diptheriae
1. Resp droplets
2. Rods - multiple form V or U shape
3. Metachromatic granules inside that stain red vs the cell blue
4. Toxin riBOWsylates EF2 -> no protein synthesis
5. Toxoid vaccine // treat w/ anti toxin
6. To dx if bacteria present, grow on Loeffler's or cysteine-tellurite agar
7. To det toxic vs non toxic strains do Elek (E lick) test
8. Grey pseudomembranes pharyngitis -> toxin damages nerve fibers can have post pharyngitis paralysis of CNs
9. Cervical LNs = bull's neck
10. Toxin is cardio tox: myocarditis, arrhythmia, heart block
114
Describe the empty can test for the shoulder
Isolates supra
"Pour one out"
Abduct humerus in parallel to axis of scapula (30 degrees forward flexion) while in full int rotation (thumbs to floor)
Push down - can't stay up supra problem
Supra does 1st 15 degrees abduction until deltoid takes over
115
What BB do you use for thyroid storm - why?
Propranolol
1. Decrease HR
2. Decrease peripheral conversion T4 -> T3 b/c X iodothyronine deiodinase
Change TH synthesis and release by + iodine and blocking thyroid peroxidase respectively
Remember T3 = active form, binds receptor in the NUCLEUS
116
Describe how glycogen degradation is increase with skeletal muscle contraction
More glycogen degraded w/ contracting skeletal muscle
Glycogen -> glucose 1 P via glycogen phosphorylase
GP is activated by phosphorylase kinase, 2 things up reg activity of this in skeletal muscle
#1 = Ca from contracting muscle
#2 = E induced increase cAMP
GP is inactivated by phosphoprotein phosphatase
Remember that PK in liver is different and is activated by E/glucagon binding Gs receptors for glycogen breakdown
117
Describe all of the different blots - how is a Western blot different than ELISA
Southern = DNA, North = RNA, West = protein, SW = DNA binding proteins (TFs)
Western:
1. Sep proteins via electrophoresis
2. Move to nitocell membrane + probed Ab for protein of interest
Vs ELISA = testing pts serum directly (vs electrophoresis first)
118
What factor determine peak bone mass vs bone loss
Peak bone mass = genetics (similar curves with space between)
Bone loss = exercise, diet including alc or smoke, steroid use, premature meno (curves with different slopes)
119
Why is resting membrane potential -70mV instead of the potential for K = -80mV?
Small number Na channels that allow flow of Na into cells decreasing membrane potential
Remember membrane potential ext by ATP as to put 3 Na out and 2K into cell - high [K] in cell, high [Na] outside
120
Name 2 meds that should be avoided in pts with hypertrophic CM
HCM gets worse if you decrease LV volume
1. Vasodilators (DHP Ca CBs, nitroG, ACE Is) - decrease TPR, decrease afterload, lower LV vol = more friction between the outflow tract
2. Diuretics = decrease preload so same problem
Meds that reduce LV outflow tract obstruction:
Non-DHP Ca CB, disopyramide, BBers
121
If you're on prednisone for a long time, what happens to your HPA axis?
Like having a ton of cortisol in circulation = lots of -FB = low CRH, ACTH, cortisol
So pt can't adequately respond to stressful situations - infection, surg - you have to increase dose to prevent steroid def = *hypotension, shock*
Can cause adrenal atrophy - why you need to gradually pull pts off steroid to avoid adrenal insuff
122
Which anti-emetics do you use for motion sickness vs chemo? Describe SE
Motion sickness
1. Anti-M = scopolamine
2. Ant-H = diphendyramine, meclizine, promethazine
Anti chol SE: blurry vision, dry mouth, urine retent, constipation
Cancer
1. D R antag = prochlorperazine, metoclopramide = diarrhea
2. S R antag = ondansetron, granisetron
3. NK 1 R antag = aprepitant, fosaprepitant
123
Mechanism + SE of metaglitinides
```
= repaglinide, nateglinide
DIABETES - short acting glucose lower
Mech: X ATP dep K channel @ pancreas B cell -> depol -> open Ca channel -> insulin release
Same mech as sulfonylureas
SE: hypoG, weight gain
```
124
What is your dx for pt with pancytopenia WITHOUT splenomeg? What does the bone marrow look like?
Aplastic anemia
BM is hypocellular - mostly fat and stroma, "dry tap"
Bone marrow is how you differentiate between this and other pancyto w/o spleno:
- Combined b12 + folate def anemia
- Acute leukemia
- Some myelodysplastic syndromes
125
Describe metformin mechanism + SE - what are you going to check before starting this med?
X 1st ETC enzyme -> decrease cellular E stores
Causes AMPK activation = less hepatic gluconeo
Increase peripheral glucose utilization
SE = LACTIC ACIDOSIS
- Increases intestinal production of lactate since these cells can't use ETC for aerobic glycolysis // decreases liver metabolism of lactate since less gluconeo
Check Cr (renal) before starting
CI w/ CHF or alcoholic b/c increase risk SE
126
Describe the difference between rubeola and rubella
Rubella = TOGAvirus = maculopapular rash begins on face and spreads to trunk/limbs
Spreads fast and does not coalesce like rubeola
**Post auricular and occipital lymphadenopathy**
Rubeola = paramyxovirus = measles = similar but rash may join together and w/o LNs
127
Describe the hormones levels of pt with cryptorchidism
Undescended testes
Body heat will make seminiferous tubules atrophic - lose Sertoli cells
1. Low sperm count = infertile
2. Sertoli cells not making inhibin to FB to pit -> increase FSH
Leydig cells in tests are in the matrix between tubules and NOT heat sen -> continue to produce testosterone -> feeds back to hypothal = normal LH and testosterone levels (normal sex characteristics + drive)
128
Describe minimal change disease
Associated with allergies or after an infection or immunization
Overproduction of cytokines: effacement of podocytes on EM
Lose neg charge of GBM - lose ONLY albumin into urine: kid presents with generalized (esp periorbital) edema
Maltese crosses on urine analysis
129
Equation for renal blood flow
RBF = PAH clearance / renal plasma flow
| = (PAH urine/serum x urine flow rate) / 1-Hct
130
Mechanism and SE of colchicine
X tubulin polymerization (aka the cytoskeleton)
GOUT - treats flares or with allopurinol chronically
SE = DIARRHEA, N, ab pain
131
Mechanism and SE of warfarin
Mech = X vit K dep coag gactors
Also decreases protein C + S (both anti-coat)
Protein C has short t1/2 so it activity is quickly reduced when you start warfarin
During this time it K factors dominate as PRO coag
SE = warfarin induced skin nec b/c transient hypercoag state that happens when you first start warfarin
Clot that blocks BF to skin -> nec
**WHY YOU BRIDGE WITH HEPARIN
