Q

What is gastric ulcer, how is it caused and what are the symptoms ?

A

Inflammation disorder of the gastric mucosa

It is caused by Nsaids which inhibit the enzyme cyclozygenase which is involved in the synthesis of inflammatory Prostaglandins , alcohol or infection

Symptoms :Ab pain,Reflux, Nausea,Loss of appetite and vomiting

Q

What are the GIT lined with?

A

Mucosa
the mucosa contains epithelia cells - absorbs and secrete mucus and digestive enzymes
Lamina propria- has blood and lymph vessels
Muscular mucosa has layer of smooth muscle that contracts and breaks down food

Q

What are the 4 regions of the stomach

A
  1. Cardia
    2.Fundis
    3.Body
  2. Pyloric antrum (at the end of the stomach there is a pyloric value that closes when eating so the stomach digest)

Q

What cells do the parts of the stomach secrete?

A
  1. Cardia has Foveolar cells which secrete mucus made from H20 + Glycoproteins
  2. Fundis and body have parietal cells secreting HCL and chief cells secreting pepsinogen to digest proteins

3.Antrum has G cells secreting gastrin in response to food entering the stomach

Q

What happens in the duodenum Brunner gland?

A

In the duodenum the Brunner gland secretes mucus in high bicarbonate ions with hCl floating the stomach and duodenal mucosa would be digested if not for the mucus coating of the wall and the bicarbonate neutralising the acid

Q

Why are the walls the stomach thicker than the duodenum?

Q

When does gastric ulcer pain and Duodenal ulcer pain happen?

A

gastric ulcer pain - when eating
Duodenal ulcer pain - not eating leads to weight gain

Q

What happens in Zollinger Ellison Syndrome?

A

Elevated gastrin and acid production, peptic ulcer- leads to ulcer

Gastrinoma secretes abnormal amount of gastrin Increase in gastrin = parital cells release excess hcl acid leading to ulcer in the first portion of the duedoum

Gastrinoma is a tumour

It is tested by endoscopy to see the ulcer

Treatment : antibiotics for H. pylori infection

    2.Tiredness
    3.Loss of weight
    4.Utis
    5.Cut and wounds take longer to heal

Q

What is the Classification of Type 1 diabetes mellitus

A

1.Type 1 (5 – 10% patients) Autoimmune destruction of β cells No insulin production Specific autoantibodies measured

2.LADA – Latent autoimmune diabetes (>30 years) –subset of Type

3.Monogenic Diabetes (may be misclassified as Type 1 or Type2 DM) – very small number Neonatal Diabetes (NDM)

17
Q

What is the test for diabetes?

A

Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibodies test (GAD antibodiestest) is used to help discover whether someone has either type 1diabetes or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood (LADA

18
Q

What are the diabetes complications?

A

*cardiovascular disease (CVD)
* kidney disease (most common cause ofESRD)
* retinopathy
* neuropathy
* depression
* sexual dysfunction

19
Q

What is t2d treatment?

A

Metformin-Suppress liver gluconeogenesis

Sulphonlyurea-Stimulate insulin release by closing K sensitive ATPase channels

pioglitazone-Bind to PPAR alphaand gamma, increasetissue sensitivity to insulin

20
Q

What is the Clinical diagnosis of Malabsorption?

A

History (age, weight loss, infections, alcoholconsumption)
2.Stool Appearance – Steatorrhoea – ?3.Endoscopy
4.Routine blood tests
5Investigative tests

21
Q

Diseases of the Small Intestine?

A

Crohn’s Disease ,Coeliac Disease, Bile Acid Malabsorption and Neuroendocrine Tumours

22
Q

Diseases of the Large Intestine

A

Ulcerative Colitis ,Irritable Bowel Syndrome,Diverticular Disease, Colo-Rectal Cancer

23
Q

what happens in direct Elisa

A

Antigen binds to surface
2. Antibody recognises antigen

  1. Antibody is conjugated to an enzyme
  2. Non-bound antibody-enzyme is washed off
  3. Enzyme converts chemical(“chromogenic substrate”) into a coloured form which can be measured
  4. The more antigen in the sample thenthe greater the amount of antibodythat binds therefore they greater theenzyme activity hence coloured dyeproduced faster

One antibody

24
Q

what happens in indirect Elisa?

A

Immobilise a purified viral protein on the surface

  1. If the sample contains antibodies that recognise that protein they will bind
  2. An antibody that recognises antibodies is conjugated to an enzyme and added
  3. Non-bound antibody-enzyme is washed off
  4. Enzyme converts chemical (“chromogenic substrate”) into a coloured form which can be measured
  5. The more antibody that recognises the viral protein in the sample then the greater the amount of antibody/enzyme conjugate that binds therefore they greater the enzyme activity hence coloured dye produced faster

2 antibodies

25
Q

what happens in sandwich Elisa

A
  1. Immobilise an antibody that recognisesthe antigen on a surface
    2.If the sample contains the antigen it will bind
  2. An antibody that recognises the antigenat a second site conjugated to anenzyme and added
  3. Non-bound antibody-enzyme is washedoff
    Enzyme converts chemical(“chromogenic substrate”) into acoloured form which can be measured
  4. The more antigen in the sample thenthe greater the amount ofantibody/enzyme conjugate that bindstherefore they greater the enzymeactivity hence coloured dye producedfaste
