Q

<p></p>

<p>What is desensitization therapy?</p>

A

used with honeybee allergy for example, give repeated injections with higher doses. Body makes more IgG that can bind to allergin and prevent binding to mast cell

24
Q

<p></p>

<p>Key feature of HST-3 and reason for different manifestations</p>

A

FIBRINOID NECROSIS - replacement of damaged vessel walls. Lupus is example of HST3 IF IN SKIN. various antigen and site of deposition leads to DIFFERENT CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

25
Q

<p></p>

<p>Example of immune complex deposition</p>

A

LUPUS AND POSTSTROPTOCOCCAL GLOMERULONEPHRITIS make GRANULAR DEPOSITS resulting in kidney damage!

26
Q

<p></p>

<p>type 4 hypersensitivity</p>

A

DELAYED response of t cells from antigen. cd4 releases cytokines after repeat exposure, leading to inflamation and tissue injury

27
Q

<p></p>

<p>examples of type 4 hypersensitivy</p>

A

TB skin test. poison ivy, nickel exposure.

28
Q

> Granuloma formation

A

macrophages enter epithelial following cytokine activity. Becomes histiocytes and surround infection to contain it.

29
Q

large dense pink circles

A

<p>caseating granuloma caused from TB. CENTRAL NECROSIS</p>

30
Q

oncogenes are?

A

oncogenes are similar to pro-oncogenes and express oncoproteins. only need ONE allele to activate. promote cell growth with absense of signals

31
Q

RAS oncogene does what

A

when mutated its permanently active leading to cell stimulation

32
Q

why test for her-2/neu?

A

if this epidermal growth factor receptor is present, can be treated by monoclonal antibodies!

33
Q

Why test for KRAS mutation?

A

if present, pathway is active without the EGFR signal so it cant be treated like her2/neu

34
Q

If BCR-ABL is found?

A

CML! philly 22. incrased growth. This is a oncogene

35
Q

Inheritad mutation in BRCA1/2?

A

BRCA regulates DNA repair. if BOTH are lost may get breast, prostate or ovary cancer. auto domin

36
Q

Inherited mutation in APC?

A

APC stops nuclear transciption. If both alleles are lost, get familial polypsos (colorectal carcinoma). auto domin

37
Q

Warburg effect?

A

cancer cells shift to aerobic glycolyis to make more cell required intermediates

38
Q

BCL-2 overexpression?

A

BCL2 prevents cytochrome c release from mito. If increased it prevents cell death and can lead to follicular lymphoma.

39
Q

hereditary nonpolyposos colon cancer syndrome

A

defect in DNA repair. born with one, other mutated later in life. auto dominant

40
Q

New cancer classification system?

A

No longer classified by anatomy but by THERAPEUTIC TARGETS

41
Q

platelet activating factor

A

released by mast cells AND macrophages. platelet aggragation and contract pulmonary smooth muscles

42
Q

Epi treatment dosing. Other treatment for anaphylaxis

A

.01mg/kg IM in leg (hold for 10 seconds if pen) use 1:1000 mixture.
give oxygen, monitor vitals, benadryl, albuterol. give IV if bp does not rise.
.3 max in children, .5 in adults!
Adult epipen is preset to .3 mg/kg

43
Q

Cell kill hypothesis

A

CCS drugs follow first order kinetics and kill PROPORTION of tumor cells at given dose

44
Q

radiation recall reaction

Common causes?

A

erythema and desquamation of skin at sites of prior radiation therapy
Most common with ANTHRACYCLINE (doxo)

45
Q

recruitment in antineoplastics

A

CCNS used for log kill, makes cancer go to Go, CCS given to kill rapidly dividing cells

46
Q

synchrony with antineoplastics

A

Ability of CCS to make cells go into same cell division at same time. results in more sensitive to drugs. Time delivery of second drug.

47
Q

folic acid
if low?
When to give it?

A

folate supplement. more stable.
If low, get megaloblastic anemia and NUERAL TUBE DEFECT. No neural damage
Give only after b12 is stable, otherwise will mask neuro defects (anemia comes before neuro damage in b12 defiency)

48
Q

leucovorin

A

replaces folate therapy

does not need DHFR

49
Q

B12

A

low due to malabsorption
cant give oral
neuro damage

50
Q

b12 supplements

A

Hydroxycobalamin (also used for cyanide poisoning)
-stays in circ longer due to plasma bound
cyanocabalamin

51
Q

reduced folate carrier

A

low affinity high capacity transport for folate
leuco >folate > metho
reduced expression is PRIMARY resistance
Important at PHARM levels

52
Q

leucovorin rescue (form of rescue therapy)

A

if RFC expression is low, need to increase methotrexate levels. Give leucovorin to feed normal cells that wont have DHFR working anymore

53
Q

folate receptor

A

high affinity low capacity system found on specific tissues (lungs kidney, placenta). transport folate at low levels.
Important at PHYSIOLOGICAL CONC.

54
Q

polyglutamation

A

folate is polyglutamated by folypolyglutamate synthase (FPGS). Needed to retain it and increase affinity for thymidylate synthase
Example of SELECTIVE TOXICITY

55
Q

Trimethoprim

A

inhibits BACTERIAL DHFR

56
Q

Sulfamethoxazole

A

inhibits dihydropteroate synthase in bacteria. works synergisit with trimethoprim

57
Q

dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase

A

degrades 5-fu in liver. If deficient, increased sensitivity to drug

58
Q

pyrimidine monophosphate kinase

A

converts UMP to UDP. important in resistance to 5-fu

59
Q

rate limiting step in DNA synthesis?

A

thymiddylate syntahase. dUMP to dTMP
