Q

necrosis and inflammation in reyes

A

NO

26
Q

examples of uncoupling agents

A

Aspirin
thermogenin (brown fat in babies behind neck)
2-4 dimitrophenol

27
Q

uncoupling means

A

H+ ions migrate inside the mitoch without using F0—– F1 compartment

28
Q

what is the consequence of hyperammonemia related to alpha keto gluterate

A

consumes alpha KTG
rememeber aKTG can use ammonia to make glutamate and the use more ammonia to make glutamine

KTG is very imp for TCA cycle!!

29
Q

how does hyper ammonemia affect astrocytes

A

increases the level of glutamie in astrocytes
this increases the osmolality in the astrocytes
swollen astrocytes —- leasds to defective defective unloading of glutamine

30
Q

why is glutamine so important?

A

glutamate and aspartate are the excitatory neurotransmitters in the neurons

31
Q

conditions that can lead to increase in NH3

A

defective urea cycle
aspirin REYE syndrome
Liver disease
increase in nitrogen load due to GI Bleed

32
Q

how does hyperammonemia present

A
CNS depression
astrexis flapping tremor
edema ( cerebral edema)
somnolence vomiting
lethargy coma death
33
Q

txt for hyper ammonemia

A

lactulose — acidification — NH4 made which can be excreted
antibiotics —- kill of the bacteria that makes excess nitrogen ( RIFAXIMIN NEOMYCIN)
phenyl acetate and butyrate —- interace with glycine and glutamine — increases their excretion — this helps restore balance between glutamine (exc) and glycine (inhib)

34
Q

buerger disease

A

thromboangitis obliterans — smoker – <40
segmental vasculitis with vein and nerve involvement

autoamputation 
digital gangrene
superficial phlebitis (nodular)
extremity claudication 
raynauds phenomena
VESSEL  WALL NOT INVOLVED
35
Q

what is BERGER disease

A

IgA nephropathy

36
Q

txt of buerger

A

smoking cessation
drugs-
veriniciline (nicotine partial agonist)
bupropion ( inhibit reupt of norepi and epi)

37
Q

MOA of
buspirone
bupenorphine
buterphenol

A

buspirone —- 5HTA1 partial agon

bupenorphine partial agonist at opiod mu rec`
buterphenol

38
Q

behcet sydrome

A

small vessel —- HLAb51 in trukish and med (TYPE 3)
ORO OCULO GENTIAL synd

oro— apthous ulcer
oculo — uveitis
genital —- ulcers

39
Q

what are the triggers for behcet

A

viral infections — herpes and parvo

immune complex within vessel wall — subside in a month

40
Q

Cutaneous small vessel vasculitis causes

A
DRUGS
penicillins/cephalo
sulfonamides
phenytoin
allopurinol

VIRUS
hep B C and HIV

41
Q

cutaneous small vessel vascuilitis mannifestations

A

non blanching palpable purpura

LOWER EXTREMITY
small inflammed vessels/ fibrinoid necrosis /IC deposition

42
Q

cutaneous vasculitis time line

A

first 24 hours after taking drugs ——- perivascular inflammatory infiltrate — can see NEUTROPHILS ( fragmented nuclei) —– leukocytoclastic vasculitis

43
Q

churg strauss

A

think IgE and eosinophilic
granulomatous necrotizing vasculitis with eosniophilia
TYPE (I) hypersensitivity —- asthma and allergic sinusitis
IL 5 —– eosinophilia

MPO ANCA / PANCA

44
Q

churg straus mannifestations

A
skin 
subcutaneous nodules
purpura
neuropathy (mononeuritis multiplex) foot wrist drop
heart ( restrictive cardiomyopathy)
kidney ( pauci immune GN)
45
Q

what is pauci immune GN and where can it be seen

A

negative immunofluorescence
no IgG / no complement C3

MPO (microscopic polyangitis)
Wegner
Churg strauss

46
Q

Microscopic polyangitis

A

MPO ANCA/ P ANCA
NO granuloma**

skin —- palpable purpura
kidneys RPGN
lungs
similar to wegners *

47
Q

wegner ( granulomatosis with polyangitis)

A

Granuloma +ve
Nsopharynx involvment
C ANCA/ PR 3 ANCA —- proteinase 3

otitis media mastoiditis
sinusitis 
nasal septal perforation
cough hemptysis**
hematuria --- RPGN 

XRAY — granulomatous nodular densities

48
Q

IgA immune complex vasculitis

A

type III
Henoch schonlein purpura
NON THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA — PLT NORMAL

mcc vasculitis in children 
skin--- extensor purpura (buttocks and legs)
arthralgias

common findings in nephritic synd

A
hematuria 
proteinuria <3.5 g /day
inflammation of basement membrane
HTN 
oliguria 
azotemia
52

types of nephritic syndrome

A
RAPID
RPGN
Alport

nephrotic syndrome common findings

A

proteinuria >3.5 g
hypoalbuminemia
protein C S and antithrombin III also lost

overall edema and procoagulant state

Q

how does nephrotic syndrome play a role in aquired type II lipoprotein disorder
