Q

How does the density of collage, chondrocytes and water change with increasing depths of the articular cartilage zones?

A

They all decrease
***Proteoglycan content is strange where it is lowest in the superficial zone and highest in the deep zone

Q

What does BMP-2 do? How about BMP-7?

A

BMP 2 stimulates ECM synthesis | BMP-7 potentiates chondrogenic differentiation and decreases catabolic activity of IL-1 and MMP-1

Q

Viscosupplementation aims to temporarily replace what molecule in the joint?

A

Hyaluronic acid - provides shock absorbing effect in the joint and gives fluid non-newtonian properities

17
Q

What is Hilton’s law?

A

joints are innervated by branches of the same nerves that supply muscles responsible for moving the joint

Further expanded by the Gardner observation that states the portion of the joint capsule that is tightened by a specific muscle group receives innervation from the same nerves that supply the antagonizing muscle group

18
Q

All nerves are myelinated for what type and what is it for?

A

Type C and it is important for cutaneous pain, sympathic postganglionic, as a result conduction is the slowest

19
Q

True or False: Spinal nerve roots have less perineurium than peripheral nerves and as a result are more susceptible to stretch and compression injuries?

A

True

20
Q

What is the MOA of aspirin?

A

Cox inhibitor

21
Q

What is the MOA of Warfarin?

A

Blocks vitamin K carboxylation in the liver so that factors 2, 7, 9, 10, protein C and S cannot be made. Stop 5 days preop

22
Q

Antidote for warfarin?

A

Vitamin K and FFP

23
Q

What is MOA of hepain?

A

Antithrombin III to inhibit Xa
Long tail binds plasma proteins and inhibits thombin IIa, IXa, XIa, XIIa

24
Q

What is the antidote for heparin?

A

Protamin Sulfate

25
Q

LMWH blocks what?

A

Xa and IIa
Antidote is protamine sulfate

26
Q

What is the antidote for RIbaroxaban?

A

Andexanet (decody recominant factor Xa factor)

27
Q

What is the antidote for Hirudins (Desirudin, Dabgitran)?

A

Idarucizumab (Praxbind)
aPCC

28
Q

Vanadium is found in what metal alloy?

A

Titanium (Titanium 64 means 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium)

29
Q

Nickel is found in what metals?

A

Cobalt-Chrome & Stainless Steel

30
Q

Bacteria is most adherent to what metal? What about least adherent?

A

Most to titanium
Least to Tantalum
