Q

An individual arrives at the ER with chest pain, shortness of breath, and he dies shortly after being admitted. After examining prior medical records it was noted that he had chronically high cholesterol and blood pressure. Upon autopsy it was determined his death was due to myocardial infarction due to a clot in his coronary arteries caused by plaque build up. What was this pts: etiology, clinical expression of disease and pathogenesis

A

Clinical expression: chest pain, SOB, death Etiology: high cholesterol, high BP Pathogenesis: plaque buildup in the artery and subsequent clot

Q

contrast the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and the autophagy pathway?

A

UP: requires ATP, specific, mostly degrades short-lived/damaged proteins (gene expression, differentiation), and cytoskeleton (IF) A: activated by cell stress. degrades proteins and organelles. can be selective or non-selective.

Q

which disease is “high yield” for metaplasia. cause?

A

Barrett’s esophagus. cells in esophagus change from stratified squamous epithelium to simple columnar mucus producing epithelium to better cope with reflux of stomach acid into esophagus

Q

In general, epithelial cells that are located closer to BM proliferate/differentiate and cells that are more apical (towards lumen) proliferate/differentiate

A

closer to BM=proliferate closer to lumen=differentiate, even lose their nucleus!

26
Q

karyolysis

A

nuclear dissolution (absent nucleus)

27
Q

cell death can occur in what two ways?

A

necrosis and apoptosis

28
Q

necrosis is generally correlated with what type of nuclear loss

A

karyolysis

29
Q

apoptosis is generally correlated with what type of nuclear loss (2)

A

pyknosis, karyorrhexis

30
Q

do normal cells undergo necrosis?

A

no, necrosis is pathologic (related to a disease state) NOT physiologic

31
Q

what are the six types of necrosis

A

coagulative, liquefactive, gangrenous, caseous, fat, fibrinoid

32
Q

what is coagulative necrosis. commonly seen where?

A

the organ/cell shape is preserved and the nucleus is absent. typical of ischemic infarction of any organ (except brain)

33
Q

what is liquefactive necrosis? seen?

A

necrotic tissue is liquified by enzymes. Seen in brain, pancreas, abcess

34
Q

what is ischemia?

A

restriction in blood supply

35
Q

what is gangrenous necrosis?

A

coagulative necrosis becomes mummified (dry) and may get secondarily infected and liquefactive necrosis results

36
Q

what is caseous necrosis? seen?

A

cheese-like combination of liquefactive and coagulative necrosis. seen in TB (lungs)

37
Q

what is fat necrosis. seen?

A

tissue becomes chalky white due to calcium deposition. seen in breast trauma and pancreatitis

38
Q

what is fibrinoid necrosis

A

necrosis of blood vessel wall

39
Q

describe apoptosis

A

genetically programmed, ATP dependent cell death

40
Q

which type of cell death is accompanied by inflammation?

A

necrosis. NOT apoptosis

41
Q

what types of things can injure cells? 7

A
  1. Oxygen deprivation 2.chemicals/drugs 3. physical injury 4. infectious agents 5. immune response 6. nutritional imbalance 7. genetic derangement
42
Q

what is the function unit of the liver?

A

hepatic lobule

43
Q

describe the anatomy of a liver lobule

A

Hepatic Artery (oxygenated) drains into portal vein. Portal vein drains into central vein via hepatic sinusoids. Bile duct drains into duodenum (opposite direction of blood flow)

44
Q

what are the three hepatocyte zones between the portal vein and central vein

A

closest to PV: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3 (closest to CV)

45
Q

which hepatocyte zone has hepatocytes that receive the most oxygen? why?

A

the zone 1 hepatocytes because they are closest to the protal vein (which is a mix of oxygenated arterial blood and deoxygenated blood from gut)

46
Q

which zone contains more gluconeogenesis and FA oxidation enzymes?

A

Zone 1 (closest to PV)

47
Q

which zone contains more Cytochrome P450 enzymes, glycolytic enzymes, and FA synthesizing enzymes?

A

Zone 3 (closest to CV)

48
Q

Acetaminophen excess causes necrosis of which zone hepatocytes? why?

A

Zone 3. the detox of Acetaminophen produces free radicals that cause necrosis. this is an example of a chemical injury to cells.

49
Q

anoxia generally causes ___ while hypoxia generally causes ___

A

anoxia: cell death (necrosis) hypoxia: atrophy

50
Q

what are 3 conditions related to chemical/drug injury:

A
  1. Gynecomastia: enlarged breasts in males (imbalance of hormones that can be caused by heroin, statins) 2. Gingival Hyperplasia: gums take-over the teeth (phenytoin, used to control seizures) 3. Cirrhosis of the liver; many casues including alcohol
51
Q

what are some examples of physical injury to cells?

A

burns, frostbite, laceration

52
Q

what are some examples of infectious agents causing injury to cells?

A

diabetes, arthritis

54
Q

what are some examples of nutritional imbalances causing injury to cells? 4

A

Vit A defic, Marasmus, Kwashiorkor, obesity

55
Q

Marasmus: cause? appearance

A

protein-calorie defic. wasted appearance

56
Q

Kwashiorkor: cause? appearance?

A

57
Q

a cell undergoes chronic stress, but it is of low intensity, what is the likely outcome?

A

cell adaptations

58
Q

a cell undergoes acute high intensity stress, what is the likely outcome?

A

cell death

59
Q

a cell undergoes acute low intensity stress, what is the likely outcome?

A

reversible cell injury

60
Q

describe cells as hyperplasia, dysplasia, normal, cancer

A

L to R: Normal, Hyperplasia, Dysplasia, Cancer

Note the concentrated maintatined nucleus in dysplasia

61
Q

label the zones, what is this?

A

L to R: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3
