Bone Phys/path Flashcards
(98 cards)
Inter-medullary callus
- forms new bone from endochonral ossification following hematoma formation
- soft callus -> hard callus
Vascular response in fracture repair
- Bloodflow increased substantially peaks at two weeks
- Angiogenesis and vasodilation increases
Concave/convex remodeling
- convex: electropositive->osteoclast
- concave: electronegative->osteoblast
Contact vs. gap healing
- contact: allows for direct healing with lamellar bone
- gap: 200-500 nm: fill with woven bone, remodeled to lamellar
TGF in bone repair
- induces the synthesis of cartilage specific proteoglycans and type II collagen
- stimulates osteoblasts
BMP in bone repair
- 1,2 and 3
- 1: cleaves carboxy terminus of procallagen I,II and III
- 2: induces endochonral ossification
- 3: potent inducer of mesenchymal -> bone tissue
FGF in bone repair
- acidic (FGF-1), basic (FGF-2)
- proliferation of chondrocytes and osteoblasts
- FGF2 stims angiogenesis
PDGF in bone repair
- I and II
- IGF-I induced by GH in liver
- bone and collagen synthesis, osteoblasts proliferation and inhibits bone collagen degradation
Cytokines in bone repair: IL-1,4,6 and 11, CSF, TNF
- Stimulates bone resorption: IL-1 most potent
- IL-1 and 6 inhibited by estrogen
Prostaglandins in bone healing
- PGEs inhibit osteoclasts and stimulate bone formation
- leukotriens do the opposite
Hormones in bone repair: estrogen, thyroid, glucocorticoids
- estrogen: stimulates fracture healing through IL I inhibitor
- T3/4: stimulat osteoclast resorption
- glucocorticoids: inhibits Ca absorption from gut -> increased PTH -> increases osteoclast activity indirectly
PEMF
- Signals in 20 to 30 Hz range
- Shows efficacy in bone healing
- Bluegray skin and yellow brown microscopic pigment
- Presents with black urine
- Associated with severe early-onset arthritis and spine and lower extremity joints
- Alcaptonuria
- Results from homogentistate 1,2 deoxygenase deficiency -> Buildup of homogentisic acid
Anatomic sequelae of osteoarthritis
- Joint space narrowed
- sclerosis of subchondral
- cystic degeneration of bone
- osteophyte lipping
- chronic pain and debilitation
- Insidious onset of malaise fatigue and generalized musculoskeletal pain
- This is followed by polyarticular joint pain in the hands and then the fee
- RA
- Sequela a: destruction of ligaments tendons joint capsules-> deformities
RA immunopathenogenesis
- HLA-DRB1 assoc
- Activated CD4 stimulates macrophages and B cells
- b cells contribute autoantibodies
- TNF/IL1: Stimulates synoviocytes to make inflammatory mediators/mellatoproteases
Synovium and stroma consisting of inflammatory cells granulation tissue and fibroblasts which grow over articular cartilage
- pannus
- sq: fiberous ankylosis, -> bony ankylosis
Fibrinoid necrosis surrounded by palisading rim of macrophages with no microbial infiltrates
- Rheumatoid nodule
- onset under age 16
- arthritis present for 6 weeks, spiking fevers, malaise
- rheumatoid nodules skin usually absent
- rheumatoid factor usually negative
Juvenile idiopathic Rheumatoid arthritis
- HLA-B27 assoc
- oligoarthritis and tendinitis
- immune-mediated disease
- ankylosing spondylitis
- reactive arthritis
- psoriatic arthritis
- arthritis assoc with chronic inflammatory conditions
- Negatively biferingient crystals
- hyperuricemia
- tophi
- gout/gouty arthritis
Mechanism for hyperuricemia
- 90% due to decreased excretion of uric acid (upregulation of URAT1->increased resorption
HGPRTase deficiency
- overproduction of uric acid due to lacking purine salvage pathway
- Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
Mechanism for acute gouty arthritis
- hyperuricemic conditions addressed by neutrophils which phag the crystals. They aren’t broken down and destroy the neutrophils releasing inflammatory cytokines.
