Q

Q 1. Name 4 second generation antihistamines. what is advantage of these drugs over first generation? why?

A
  • loratidine
  • desloratadine
  • fexofenadine
  • cetirizine

no anti-muscarinic, confusion/hallucination side effects
=> 2nd generation drugs do not cross CNS

Q

Q 7. What is molecular difference between glutamate and glutamine? What neuronal cell mediates this balance? How does this explain hyperamoniemia induced asterixis?

A

glutamate + NH3 —> glutamine

astrocyte takes up glutamate in synaptic cleft to prevent excessive neuronal excitation. Astrocytes then takes ammonia from blood, make glutamine, and recycle glutamine back to neuronal axon.

With hyperammonemia, astrocyte will make excessive glutamine, resulting in tremor

Q

Q 7. Describe carbamoyl phosphate is associated with what reaction in urea cycle. How hyperamonemia change carbamoyl phosphate level?

A

carbamoyl phosphate is synthesized from
ammonia + N-acetylglutamate by CPS1 (carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1). Carbamoyl phosphate acts as primary nitrogen carrier.

hyperamonemia will result in decrease in carbamoyl phosphate

Q

Q 19. Is hyper or hypo thyrodism associated with hypercholesterolemia?

A

Hypothyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is associated with hypocholesterolemia

  • think like this. cholesterolemia is opposite to thyroidism
    hyper-> hypo / hypo ->hyper

Q

Q 22. complication of ARPKD?

A

Potter syndrome

unlike ADPKD, ARPKD doesn’t mess around with other cystic disease (berry aneurysm, hepatic cyst, MVP)

17
Q

Q 23. serum creatinine begins to rise as GFR drops to what?

A

<60 mL/min

18
Q

Q 24. Fixed S2. What heart defect?

A

ASD

19
Q

Q 25. What amino acid is required for synthesis of NO during smooth muscle dilation? what enzyme? activated by what molecule?

A

L-arginine

NO synthase makes NO from L-arginine

acetylcholine/ bradykinin binding to receptor

  • > increased intracellular Ca2+
  • > stimulates NO synthase
20
Q

Q 26. Talofibular ligament vs. Tibiofibular ligament: which one is medial? which one is lateral?

A

tibiofibular: medial
talofibular: lateral
* rembmer tibial artery is also medial. So things go with tibio-: medial

21
Q

Q 28, What is etiology of Janeway lesions in bacterial endocarditis?

A

septic emobli from valvular vegetations

microemboli to skin vessel: composed of neutrophils, necrotic material, subcutaneous hemorrhage

22
Q

Q 29. What is the process in response to irreversible CNS injury? what cell mediates it?

A

gliosis (glial hyperplasia)

mediated by astrocytes

23
Q

Q 29. Is fibroblast involved in repair of irreversible CNS injury?

A

NO

fibroblast is involved in peripheral nervous system (or peripheral tissue), NOT in CNS
astrocytes got it for CNS

24
Q

Q 29. embryological origin of astrocytes?

A

neuroectoderm

25
Q

Q 29. Embryological origin of oligodendrocytes?

A

neuroectoderm

26
Q

Q 29. Embryological origin of microglial cells?

A

monocytes

microglial cells are pretty much macrophage equivalent

27
Q

Neuroectoderm is derived from what embriological cell layer? which embryological structure promotes development of neuroectoderm?

A

notocord stimulates ectoderm to become neuroectoderm

28
Q

Neuroectoderm: what do I have to think? (4)

A
  • astrocyte
  • oligodendrocyte
  • medulloblastoma
  • posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis)
29
Q

Q 30. How does parasympathetic nervous innervation mediates insulin secretion in pancreatic islet cells? what about sympathetic?

A

sympathetic -> predominantly alpha 2
-> Gi -> inhibition of insulin secretion

parasympathetic -> predominantly M3
-> Gs -> stimulation of insulin secretion

30
Q

Q 33. overexpression of which molecule is associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer?

A

HER2

31
Q

Q 33. medication for treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer?

A

trastuzumab

32
Q

Q 34. What does leukocyte ALP (alkaline phosphatase) suggest? histological finding of leukocyte with high ALP?

A

leukocyte ALP helps distinguishing whether leukocytosis is due to leukomoid reaction (infection) or CML.

leukomoid reaction- high leukocyte ALP
CML- low leukocyte ALP

leukocyte with high ALP shows basophlic inclusions in mature leukocytes

33
Q

Q 37. Urticaria (hives) is mediated by what cell? what type of hypersensitivity?

A

type 1

IgE released from mast cell degranulation

34
Q

Q 40. Intimal tear in aortic wall. What is it?

A

aortic dissection

NOT aneurysm

35
Q

Q 40. What is etiology of ABDOMINAL aortic aneurysm

A

weakening due to either chronic inflammation or atherosclerosis (lack of oxygen supply as abdominal aorta below renal artery lacks vasa vasorum)

36
Q

Q 40. What are 4 etiologies of THORACIC aortic aneurysm?

A
  • HTN
  • bicuspid aortic valve
  • Marfan syndrome
  • tertiary syphilis
