Musculoskeletal Pathology Flashcards
(179 cards)
Stages of pagets
- Osteoclastic
- Mixed osteoclastic-osteoblastic
- Osteoblastic
_________ inflammation in dermatomyositis. ________ inflammation in polymyositis.
Perimysial; Endomysial
NOTE: perimysial inflammation is characterized by CD4 cells, while endomysial inflammation is characterized by CD8 cells
__________ is more specific than rheumatoid factor in early and fully established rheumatoid arthritis
Anti-CCP (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibodies
mechanism of osteopetrosis
- Defective metaphyseal remodeling
- Small neural foramina compress exiting nerves
- Primary spongiosa fills medullary cavity
What are the types of Ehler Danlos Syndrome?
I/II- Classic
- Skin and joint hypermobility, atrophic scars, easy bruising
- Autosomal dominant
- COL5A1, COL5A2
III- Hypermobility
- Joint hypermobility, pain, and dislocation
- Autosomal dominant
IV- Vascular
- Thin skin, arterial or uterine rupture, bruising, small joint hyperextensibility
- Autosomal dominant
- COL3A1
VI- Kyphoscoliosis
- Hypotonia, joint laxity, congenital scoliosis, ocular fragility
- Autosomal recessive
- Lysyl hydroxylase (PLOD1)
Why is hepatosplenomegaly seen in osteopetrosis?
Bone growth in the medullary cavity prevents hematopoiesis in the bone marrow. This leads to extramedullar hematopoiesis (i.e. in liver)
Laboratory findings of RA
- Rheumatoid factor; marker of tissue damage and disease activity
- Neutrophils and high protein in synovial fluid
- Bilateral proximal muscle weakness
- Rash of the upper eyelids
- Red papules on the elbows, knuckles, and knees
Dermatomyositis
What is the affected molecule in achondroplasia?
FGFR3 (receptor)
Long, tapering fingers and toes called ____________.
Arachonodactyly
Another name for hyperparathyroidism
von Recklinghausen’s disease of bone
Tamoxifen
- SERM
- Binds to estrogen receptor
- Antiestrogenic on mammary epithelium, hence its use in both the prevention and treatment of breast cancer
- Proestrogenic on uterine epithelium
___________ are extra bone pieces that occur within a suture in the cranium.
Wormian bones
Symptoms of multiple myeloma
- Elevated calcium
- Renal failure
- Anemia
- Bone lesions
- Low back pain
- Bamboo spine
- Aortic regurgitation
Ankylosing spondyloarthritis
- Vertebrae bodies fuse
- Uveitis and aortitis
Components of hyaline cartilage
Water
Type II collagen
Activation of _________ on osteoclast precursor stimulates tyrosine kinase cascade.
M-CSF (Monocyte colony stimulating factor)
cause of primary gout
Hyperuricemia related to overproduction or decreased excretion of uric acid (derived from purine metabolism).
Transcient bacteremia (children) seeds _________.
Metaphysis
Mechanism by which CA2 defect leads to osteopetrosis
- CA2 required by osteoclasts and renal tubule cells to generate protons from carbon dioxide and water
- Absent CA2 prevents osteoclasts from acidyfing resorption pit and solubilizing hydroxyapatite
- Absent CA2 blocks acidification of urine by renal tubule cells causing renal tubular acidosis
osteoprotegerin
“Decoy” RANKL receptor that binds RANKL to prevent RANK-RANKL interaction, which leads to decreased osteoclast activity
Synoviocytes function
Produce proteins, hyaluronic acid (lubricant, nutrition for cartilage)
Causes of avascular necrosis
- Trauma or fracture
- Steroids
- SCA
- Caisson disease
Why does carbonic anhydrase type II defeciency result in osteopetrosis?
Acidic environment required for osteoclast activity is loss
NOTE: Renal tubular acidosis is also seen, due to decreased tubular reabsorption of HCO3-.
