tensile strength
also osteonectin, ossteopontin, proteoglycans, gammacarboxyglutamic acid
4
Q

A
2/3 bone weight
mainly calcium phosphate as crystals called hydroxyapatite
gives hardness and compressional strength
also amorphous calcium phosphates
5
Q
pyrophosphate does whate
A
prevent calcium phosphate crystalization in extracellular tissues
6
Q
osteopbalsts
A
bone forming cell
produce collagen 1, osteocalcin, osteopontin
-tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase on surface breaks pyrophosphate so calcification can occur
-produces nucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) and ankylosis protein (ANK) to make pyrophosphate available
-PTH and vit D receptors to regulate RANKL, OPG, MCSF1
7
Q
osteocyte
A
remain in cortical bone during remodeling
-permits translocation mineral in and out of remodeling regions
-mechanical sensors provide signals for remodeling
-produce factors modulating distant tissue function (FGF23 affects phosphate excretion and vit d metabolism)
8
Q
osteoclast
A
multinucleated giant cells for bone resorption
after sealing area develop invaginated structures culled ruffled border which acts as lysosome (secretes acid and proteases like cathepsin K)
-controlled by number of osteoclasts (macrophage colony stimulating factor 1) and osteoclast activity (PTH, vit d through induction of RANKL)
9
Q
endochondral ossification
A
at epiphyseal plate
cartilage mold develops
cartilage converted to bone (as plate widens part next to diaphysis becomes bone)
epiphyseal plate ossifies near end of puberty to end growth
10
Q
formation of bone
A
osteoblast secretes collagen and ground substance
colagen forms osteoid and entraps osteoblasts to form osteocytes
calcium salts precipitate and form hydroxyapatite crystallization
11
Q
importance of bone remodeling
A
-old bone becomes brittle and weak
-adjust strength in proportion to bone stress
-adjust for mechanical forces in accordance with stress patterns
12
Q
bone remodeling
A
complete cycle may take 6 months
-physical or biochemical signals precursor osteoclasts from bone marrow to specific loci on bone
-form osteoclasts which cut tunel through bone
-osteoblasts reverse tunnels to new bone
13
Q
remodeling trabecular bone
A
osteoclast digs cavity
osteoblasts recruited to base
calcification occurs
bone returns to quiescent state
14
Q
hormonal control bone resorption
A
-PTH binds osteoblasts which secrete RANKL and MCSF1 (bind preosteoclasts), preosteoclasts form into osteoclasts and activity stimulated by RANKL, osteoclasts for ruffled border and release enzymes and acids
-osteoblasts secrete osteoprotegrin (OPG) which is decoy for RANKL, low OPG/RANKL ratio increases osteoclast formation and activity
-RANKL stimulated by vit d, pth, pthrp, il11, il6, il1, glucocorticoids
-estrodiol promotes OPG

-renal : increase Ca reabsorption, reduce phosphate reabsorption, stimulate vit d activation, inhibit Na H exchangers decreasing HCO3 absorption (mild hyperchloremic acidosis)
-GI : effects indirect through activation of vit d which increases renal calcium reabsorption, increases absorption of Ca and phosphate in small intestine, modulates mvmt Ca and phosphate from bone

get gram stain before treating
-gram negative = n gonorrhea so use ceftriaxone

-gram positive = staph aureus so use vancomycin
*gram positive but immunocompromised use vanc and ceftriaxone or cefdinir
once culture finalized tailor therapy
-MSSA = nafcillin, oxacillin, cefazolin

do not treat empirically and wait for cultures to come back
197

clostridium perfringens - anaerobe so think clindamycin
empiric therapy - pip/tazo and clindamycin

buprenorphine - partial agonist
methadone - long acting full agonist
naltrexone - competitive antagonist
203
buprenorphine
wait 6-12 hours after last heroin or short acting opioid use and longer after extended
at least 36 hours after last dose of methadone
if pt is on full agonist it will precipitate withdrawal
204
methadone
reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal
dispensed to outpatients at licensed opioid treatment programs
high risk of lethal overdose
205
naltrexone
no high or withdrawal
withdrawal should be complete (7 days for short acting and up to 14 for long acting)
also used for alcohol use disorder

when measuring with scoliometer
-BMI <85% then xray when >7 degrees
