Q

Treatments for osteoporosis (5)

A
  • increase cholesterol– contains vit D
  • vit D replacement (ergocalciferol)
  • bisphosphonates: inhibit ruffle border–decrease osteoclast activity

  • teraperatid-PTH analog: increases osteoblasts
  • estrogen supplement; estradiol/progesterone supplement; selective estrogen receptor modulate
27
Q

bisphosphonates

  • name
  • function
  • conflicts
A
  • end in dodronate; alendronate (oral), ivandronate (IV)
  • disrupt ruffle border of osteoclasts making them unable to bind and make seal reducing bone resorption
  • need to be taken for pro-longed period
  • not well absorbed
  • GI upset; need to sit up for 30 min
  • stay in bones for yrs so needs to be stopped after 5 yrs or accumulation will lead to increased fractures
28
Q

estrogen/estradiol supplement

A
  • induces osteoclast apoptosis

- can lead to increased risk of cancer in women who are post-menopausal

29
Q

teraperatid

A
  • PTH analog
  • increases osteoblastic activity and proliferation
  • given as shot to stomach; taken once every day
  • only used for a period of a couple months
30
Q

selective estrogen receptor modulate

A
  • induces osteoclast apoptosis

- help with spinal fractures ONLY

31
Q

Hyperparathyroid

  • sxs; labs
  • order?
  • treatment
A
  • recurrent kidney stones, hypercalcemia, bone pain, abdominal pain
  • need imaging
  • only treatment is surgery
32
Q

What can occur with medullary thyroid cancer?

-treatment

A
  • thyroid is removed as well as parathyroid
  • decrease in PTH–decrease resorption of bone from kidneys—decrease in calcium
  • increase calcium absorption with vit D or PTH analog
33
Q

What can occur with chronic kidney disease?

A
  • low calcium and vit D due to chronic diuretics
  • stones produced due to increase in phosphate binding to calcium–even if there is low calcium
  • treatment: vit D supplement, RANKL inhibitor (don’t go through liver or kidneys)

Q

Pagets disease

  • what is it
  • order?
  • treatment
A
  • increase osteoclast activity and osteoblasts cannot keep up

35
Q

Woven bone

  • other name
  • collagen organization
  • when is it produced
A
  • primary bone
  • characterized by a haphazard organization of collagen fibers and is mechanically weak.
  • produced when osteoblasts produce osteoid rapidly, which occurs initially in allfetalbones, but is later replaced by more resilient lamellar bone.
36
Q

Lamellar bone

  • other name
  • collagen organization
A
  • (secondary bone)

- has a regular parallel alignment of collagen into sheets (“lamellae”) and is mechanically strong

37
Q

Interstitial growth

A

  • endocortical
  • cancellous
  • intracortical
40
Q

Periosteal

  • parts
  • vascularization?
A

-outer fibrous portion

-Well vascularized, innervated by sympathetic and pain sensitive fibers

41
Q

Endocortical

  • surrounds?

42
Q

Cancellous

  • location?
  • nutrients?
A
  • Cells line both surfaces and are exposed to all elements of marrow cavity

44
Q

Runx2 with endochondral ossification

A

-causes proliferation of hypertrophic chondrocytes to dead chondrocytes

45
Q

Runx2 and intramembranous ossification

A

-causes differentiation of mesenchymal cells to osteoblasts

46
Q

Endochondral ossification steps

-and what happens during each step

A
  1. Resting: mesenchymal cells–differentiate into chondroblasts
  2. Proliferative: chondroblasts proliferate
  3. Pre-hypertrophic: stage between chondroblast and chondrocyte-continued proliferation but will soon no longer to be able to proliferate
  4. Hypertrophic: chondrocytes- no longer proliferating but excreting matrix so that they can die and be calcified
  5. Calcification: chondrocyte is dead and begins to be calcified, this is done by osteoclasts coming in to remove transverse septa and osteoblasts coming in to create calcified bone matrix
47
Q

PTHRP

A

released by proliferating cells-limits IHH in pre-hypertrophic cells

48
Q

GH

A

Acts on resting chondroblasts to induce and maintain proliferation through IGF-1

49
Q

IHH

A

released by pre-hypertrophic cells-stimulates proliferation of mesenchymal cells to osteoblasts

50
Q

FGFR3

A

HARD STOP- stop proliferation, only continue hypertrophy–mutation causes achondroplasia

51
Q

Estrogen

A

spike will cause increase in proliferation, and then will work on mesenchymal to stop differentiation and stop chondroblasts form being created

52
Q

Sox 9

Expressed by proliferating chondrocytes to differentiate mesenchymal cells to chondroblast

53
Q

NMP13

A

Expressed by hypertrophic cells that die, critical for degradation of transverse septum (removed by osteoclast)
