Q

what is the pathogenesis of mycobaterium tuberculosis causing tuberculosis

A

the bacteria is transmitted via aerosolized droplets and is inhaled into the lower lobe of the lung where it replicates and in the alveoli. The alveolar macrophages phagocytose the organism but cant eliminate it because sulfatides prevent phagolysosome fusion so m. tuberculosis will replicate unchecked in the alveolar macrophages for the first few weeks

after a few weeks APCs in the lymphatic system will display mycobacterial antigens and release IL-12 which will stimulate CD4+ lymphocytes to become TH1 cells. TH1 will then release IFN-y which activates macrophages to differenitate into epithelioid multinucleated langhans giant cells and form granulomas.

81
neprylipsin inhibitors can be used in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, what is the MOA
inhibts neprylysin which increases ANP and BNP (diuresis and vasodilation) and increases angiotensin II activities ( vasoconstriction)
82
why are angiotensin II receptor blockers usually used in combination with a neprylisin inhibitor
because inhibitors inactivate neprylisin which increases angiotensin II activities which is not what we want in heart failure so we use it to offest this deleterious effect ## Footnote Neprilysin is responsible for the breakdown of the natriuretic peptides and angiotensin II; therefore, inhibition of neprilysin increases the activity of these peptides. For treatment of heart failure, neprilysin inhibition is combined with angiotensin II receptor blockade to optimize the positive effects of the natriuretic peptides (eg, vasodilation, diuresis) while blocking the negative effects of angiotensin II (eg, vasoconstriction, fluid retention).
