32
Vitamin B12/Cyancobalamin Deficiency
essential dietary vitamin
comes almost exclusively from microorganisms
plants/vegetables not good source
can be primary if not in diet or secondary if malabsorption occurs
intestinal parasitism and diverse diseases of the lower small intestine can lead to malabsorption
33
Intrinsic Factor
protein excreted from the parietal epithelial cells of the gastric muscosa as well as hydrochloric acid
binds vitamin B12 in order to be absorbed
34
Chronic Atrophic Gastritis
inflammatory/autoimmune destruction of the epithelial cells, deficiency of intrinsic factor, malabsorption of B12
35
Vitamin B12 in Relation to Disease
1) methylation reaction, requires B12 as cofactor for a methytransferase to synthesize folic acid for DNA synthesis
2) conversion of methylmalomyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, results in accumulation of methylmalomic acid resulting in defective formation of fatty acids and damage to neuronal membranes such as myelin
36
Pernicious Anemia
decrease in red blood cell count due to Vitamin B12 deficiency
37
Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord
degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns of spinal cord due to vitamin B12 deficiency
38
Copper Functionality

ceruloplasmin is the main copper-carrying protein in the blood, also called ferroxidase
enzymatic properties and can catalyze the oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ for heme synthesis
39
Functions of Enzymes
Cytochrome C Oxidase: energy production
Lysyl Oxidase/Collagen: connective tissue integrity
Ceruloplasmin/Ferroxidase: heme synthesis
Monoamine Oxidase: neurotransmission

associated with copper deficiency
due to degeneration of moto neurons in the spinal cord has late onset
linked to overzealous supplementation with zinc
42
Falling Disease of Cattle
syndrome of sudden death due to heart failure
has been associated with low copper
cardiac failure has been attributed to lack of energy production due to reduced cytochrome C oxidase activity
43
Aneurysms
areas of weakness in the walls of arteries that result in saccular dilations and the potential for rupture
weakness attributed to reduced lysyl oxidase activity necessary for cross-linking and stabilization of collagen and elastin
44

similarity with enzootic ataxia/swayback
Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase abnormalities
48
Thiamine Deficiency
vitamin B1
absolute dietary requirement
very little thiamine stored in the body
not required in ruminates as bacteria in their gut synthesize it
deprives the body of high energy phosphates, important intermediates for metaboilic needs, certain neurotransmitters
49
Thiamine as a Co-Enzyme
3 metabolic pathways
transketolase-pentose phosphate pathway
pyruvate dehydrogenase-glycotic pathway
a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase-citric acid cycle
50
Thiamine Deficiency in Humans

certain forms of cancer
```
62
Obesity Survival Rates
past heart problems some overweight individuals fair better than lean people experiencing certain medical conditions
63
Kcal Intake vs Kcal Burned
#1 cause of obesity
availability of foodstuffs
too much food vs too little physical activity
64
Genetics and Neurobiological Mechanisms
adopted children still tend to take after their birth parents weight wise
65
Leptin
produced mainly by adipose tissue suppresses appetite
most important long term regulator of the body's fat stores
obese people have high levels of this but seem to have developed a resistance to it
66
Ghrelin
produced by cells in the stomach and pancreas
| stimulates appetite
67
Orexins
'hypocretins'
produced by neurons in the hypothalamus
stimulate food intake and orexin-producing neurons are inhibited by leptin
68
Adiponectin
produced by adipose tissue
complementary to leptin
related to insulin and glucose and fatty acid metabolism
69
Medical and Psychiatric Illnesses
hypothyroidism and psychiatric disorders may increase the risk of obesity
70
Socioeconomic Status
correlation between status and weight depending on worldly location
71
Hemostasis
used synonymously with clotting and coagulation
| more strictly refers to the process by which the body attempts to stop bleeding or hemorrhage
72
Postmortem Clots:
| Chicken Fat
essentially coagulated plasma
| never seen by themselves; always form along currant-jelly clots
73
Postmortem Clots:
| Currant-Jelly
coagulated plasma with red blood cells
| commonly only type found
74
Postmortem Clots
not to be confused with clots formed prior to death (thrombi)
always have a bright, shiny surface
75
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
ESR
based on this in each species that determines which clots appear postmortem.
increased ESR can be a sign of inflammation
76
Antemortem Clotting of Blood
balance between maintaining blood in its fluid form necessary for life and stopping unnecessary fluid/blood loss when disease or injury occurs
achieved by anticoagulant factors produced by endothelial cells and proteins circulation in blood and procoagulent factors active in platelets and a different set of proteins in the blood
77
Prostacyclin
secreted by endothelial cells
very potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation which is the first step in initiating a blood clot
inhibits secretion of ADP by platelets that prevent attraction of other platelets
78
Endothelins
released by endothelial cells
contribute to homeostasis
vasoconstriction to limit bleeding
stimulating proliferation of endothelial and fibroblastic cells to aid in the process of repair
79
Endothelial Cells
release prostacyclin and endothelins
release of tissue plasminogen activator that converts a plasma protein, plasminogen to plasmin, to help dissolve the fibrin clot
80
Platelets
activated at sight of injury
aggregate and release ADP to attract other platelets
thromboxane to cause vasoconstriction
clcium to participate in clotting cascade
81
Clotting Cascade
results in conversion of plasma proteins into fibrin that polymerizes to form the clot
two paths: intrinsic and extrinsic
converge at factor X to form a final common pathway to coagulation
82
Intrinsic Pathway
part of clotting cascade
| begins inside the vessel with damage to endothelial cells
83
Extrinsic Pathway
part of the clotting cascade
| begins external to the blood vessels such as from external trauma
84
Antithrombin II
protein in the blood
| inhibit activation of the clotting cascade
85
Significance of Hemorrhage
depends on location, magnitude, whether it is acute or chronic loss of blood
subdural hemorrhage or hematoma in certain tissues can have disastrous effects
86
Faulty Hemostasis
```
abnormal or delayed clotting of blood
deficiencies in plasma proteins that form the clotting cascade
*look at class notes*
```
87
Thrombosis
formation of a thrombus, typically considered formation of an undesired blood clot within a blood vessels with at least partial obstruction of blood flow
88
Virchow's Triad
leads to thrombosis
- damage to endothelial cells
- disordered blood flow
- hypercoagulable states
89
Propagation
fate of thrombosis
| spread of thrombus down the length of a blood vessel in the direction of blood flow
90
Embolization
fate of thrombosis
detachment of a portion of the thrombus that travels withing a blood vessel to lodge at a more distant site, typically in a blood vessel of smaller caliber
91
Resolution
fate of thrombosis
| involves the innate process of fibrinolysis with restoration of blood flow
92
Organization and Recanalization
fate of thrombosis
fibroblasts can invade the thrombus from the damaged blood vessel walls converting the thrombus to a solid mass of fibrous tissue, permanently creating an occlusion
small blood vessels can invade along with the fibroblasts to form small blood vessels but it is seldom that these establish completely normal blood flow
93
Thromboemolism
sequel to thrombosis
'embolization'
can be disastrous to the formation of emboli
leading to at least partial further vascular occlusion downstream from the site of the original thrombus
94
Ischemia/Infarction
sequel to thrombosis
loss of blood supply/coagulative necrosis secondary to ischemia
affected tissue is usually pale, dull, slightly granulated appearance
95
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
```
'DIC'
*look at class notes*
```
96
Anatomical Barriers
not part of the true immune system
- epidermis resists transfer of bacteria
- epithelium in trachea and nasal passages contain cilia that beat towards larynx
- adjoining cells produce a mucin that trap bacteria in trachea
97
Opportunists
cause infection in those with impaired immune system
98
True Pathogens
cause disease in healthy individuals
99
Inflammation
localized, regional, or systemic response of the body to foreign material, perceived foreign material or damaged host tissue
comprises specific inflammatory cells and soluble inflammatory mediators that are directed at destroying and removing the inciting cause
100
Acute
sudden onset/ short duration
101
Purpose of Inflammation
attempts to destroy disease causing microorganisms and parasites
may lead to encapsulated abscess at localized site if all pathogens aren't killed
also important 'cleaning up' of body's tissue after injury or death
102
Sequelae of Acute Inflammation
- may rapidly destroy and remove infectious agents, brief chronic inflammation, return to normal state with little scarring
- considerable level of acute inflammation, tissue damage
- lead to persistent chronic inflammation
- acute insufficient to contain local infection, spreads
- small sites of inflammation at certain locations such abscess in the heart or brain can lead to death
103
Pathologic Process of Acute Inflammation
aberrant activation can occur by healthy tissue
result in tissue damage
exp. asthma, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, flea allergy, systemic lupus erythrematosus
104
Recognizing Acute Inflammation
```
rubor, tumor, dulor, calor
redness, swelling, pain, heat
nearly always present with acute inflammation
functio laesa
loss of function
```
105
Mechanisms of Acute Inflammation
complement system, antibodies, toll-like receptors initiate this
106
First Phase of Inflammation
```
vascular response characterized by vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
inflammatory exudate (protein rich fluid leaking unto structure surface)
histamine released by mast cells
nitric oxide produced by endothelial cells and macrophages
```
107
Second Phase of Inflammation
cellular response characterized by migration of neutrophils across blood vessel walls into affected tissue
bone marrow derived cells
pass between two endothelial cells and bind to molecules in the inter-cellular matrix such as fibrin and fibronectin
the protein myeloperoxidase is critical for pathogen killing
lysosomal hydrolases digest bacteria
108
Suppurative Inflammation
'pus'
| occurs during the second phase of inflammation when there is a large number of dead neutrophils are present
109
Regional Effect of Inflammation
inflammatory mediators withing the tissue fluid in a region of inflammation drain into lymphatics and eventually reach regional lymph nodes where they stimulate a localized lymophcyte proliferation which reslts in the production of antibodies
110
Suppurative Lymphadenitis
bacterial infection that lead to regional lymph node abscessation
111
Leukocytosis
'elevated white cell count in blood'
systemic effect of inflammation
inflammatory mediators promote increased proliferation of white blood cells in the bone marrow
112
Acute Phase Response
systemic effect of inflammation
| changes in the concentration of specific blood proteins that are associated with protection against infection
113
Pyrexia
'fever'
systemic effects of inflammation
pyrogens are substances that promote elevation in body temperature
proteins interleukin 1 and TNF-alpha
enables immune cells, helps destroy infection, can be life threatening
114
Types of Acute Inflammation
suppurative inflammation- large number of neutrophils
seous inflammation- low cellularity in exudate
necrotizing inflammation- large amounts of tissue necrosis
115
Chronic Inflammation Key Features
- less swelling and pain
- significantly fewer neutrophils
- large numbers of macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells
- fibrosis/ deposition of collagen rich connective tissue
- tissue destruction/ deformation
116
Macrophages
key cell type involved in chronic inflammation
derived from bone marrow precursor cells that release monocytes into the blood
these migrate into tissue and differentiate into macrophages
produce cytokines and prostaglandins that control inflammatory cells
stimulate tissue fibrosis and angiogenesis
