Q

What are strictures and fistulae

A

Strictures are narrowing of gi tract due to chronic inflammation and scarring process

Fistulae are tunnels connecting 2 tissues/ organs which dont usually. Forming new passages for leakage eg of faeces

Q

Which eim are present (neurath 2019)

A

Iritis, conjunctivitis, thrombosis, arthritis, liver damage

34
Q

What blood markeds are looked for

A

Crp creaxtive protein inflam marker
Full blood count fbc = anemic
Liver functioning trsts /LFT

35
Q

How is it diagnosed

A

Capsule endoscopy, colonsocopy and biopsy, mri, ct

36
Q

What is lost in mucosa with ibd

A

Mucosa, crytps, too mant inflam cells nesr

37
Q

Why can too high th2 eg from il6 and il4 cause ibd

A

Attracts eosinophils, basophils, mast cells

38
Q

What type of inflammation do th1 allow

A

Monocytic which secrete cytokines like tnf and ifny

39
Q

What 2 approaches to therapt are there

A

Step up (gentle to immunosuppressants eg methotrexate to biologics to surgery)

Step doen (biologica to surgery)

40
Q

Whixh med is used for uc inly

A

5 ASA

41
Q

What types of biologics are there

A

Anti a4:b7, anti tnf, anti il12, anti 23

42
Q

Which article discusses microbiota and ibd involvemnet

A

Ni et al 2017

43
Q

Which tpyes of bacteria are reduced in ibd eg due to wrsternised diet

A

Firmicutes

44
Q

Why do proteobacteria like ecoli increase

A

Inflammation is oxidstive and they are aerotolerant

45
Q

What else does inflammation do to allow outgrowth of commensala

A

Aea eg via nos = nitrate resp by ehec

46
Q

What is reduced due ti lacj of commensala in ibd

A

Farnesoid x activation by bile acids (which is anti tnf)

47
Q

Which yeast are seen to grow in crohns brcause of lack of commenslas and what happens because of it

A

Candida

Further acticates apc and eg th1 pathway, tnf etc

48
Q

Why is ifny release so bad for dysbiosis

A

Allows release of NO and ROS

No for nitrate resp and ros for tetrathionate

49
Q

What is one god thing anout inflammasome till it gets too much

A

Epithelial regeneration

50
Q

Why is it impaired jn ibd

A

Mutation in gene for jnflammasome

51
Q

Which cytokine from microbiota allows diff of th17 and ilc3 = chronic inflammation

A

Il23

52
Q

Where are tlr and nod

A

Innate, paneth and epi cells

53
Q

Which antibody blocks colitogenic pathogens

A

Iga

54
Q

Which types of th17 mutstions sre in ibd

A

Il23 r

55
Q

Which other types of genes are mutated which increase activity or decrewase

A

Hla,
Barrier genes defecting it wg ecm1
Autophagy

56
Q

What is autophagy for

A

Recycle cellular organeles and degradation of ic pathogens

57
Q

Which polymorphisms commin with autophagy in ibd

A

Atg16L1, irgm, LRRK2

58
Q

What does autophaggy usually alow release of from paneth cells

A

Amps

59
Q

What does polymorphism do to cytokines eg in atg16L1, lrrk2 and irgm

A

Alter them so less amp but il1b and il 18 released instead from paneth

60
Q

What types of pathogens are killed by autophagy

A

Salmonella, ehec, mycobacterium tb

61
Q

Whcih receptors regulate autophagy

A

Prr

62
Q

Which article discusses autophagy snd ibd

A

Levine 2011

63
Q

What did atg16L1 reduce

A

Amp

64
Q

How does irgm cause franumolas in crohns if defective

A

Usuallt allows clearing of mycobac tb which if not cleared causes granulomas

65
Q

How many nod2 polymorphisms seen in crohns

A

3

66
Q

Where is nod2 and what does it sense

A

Mac, epi, dc, paneth, neutrophils

Finds bscterial peptidoglycan

67
Q

A

Il1b and il8 and il10

68
Q

Hoe many firmicute otu seen in people without crohns vs with

A

43 vs 13

69

A

Faecailbacterium prausnitzii

71
Q

Which ibd has a risk of smokingand what does smokint do

A

Crohns

Reduces diversity

Refuces actinobacteria like collinsella and firmicutes

Worse outcome and recurrence

72
Q

What is an anal fistula and how is it resolved

A

A tunnel from bowek to the skin nesr anus whoch gives farces another route forming abscesses
