Q

one of the most common bad streptococcal bacteria of the mouth

virulence factors?

A

strep mutants (viridans group)

(alpha hemolytic, optochin resistant)

virulence: adhesin like surface proteins (AgI/II) that are capable of binding to receptors in the pellicle

Glucosyltransferases - synthesize glucans, a polysaccharide that gives S, mutans additional binding sites, as it binds avidly and in large numbers to these polymers.

Q

virulence factors of H pylori

A

VacA: Pore forming cytotoxin that allows leakage of Ca from the epithelial cells of the gut - VACuumes all the calcium out

CagA: Type 4 secretion system is a needle that the bacteria use to inject CagA into the host cytosol, which affects the proliferative activities, adhesion, and cytoskeletal organization of epithelial cells. potentially assc with inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins. this system is HIGHLY PROINFLAMMATORY.

25
acinar ducts
ducts in the pancreas - entirely serous this means they secrete enzymes - these enzymes help break down stuff in the gut (they make zymogens aka enzyme precursors) inside is very eosinophillic, outside is basophillic
26
which has the more prominent capsule - parotid or pancreas
parotid also lobules and interlobules or more easily seen in parotid
27
where do you see rokitansky aschodd sinuses
in the gall bladder
28
what has a very tall columnar epithelium
the gall bladder
29
fructose transporter protein
GLUT 5
30
function of GLUT 2
on the basolateral membrane of enterocytes. transports monosaccharides into the blood
31
how to you make trypsin in the intestine
trypsinogen is converted to it by enteropeptidase
32
how do the enterocytes absorbe peptides
cotransported through PEPT1 with H+
33
how are amino acids transported into the enterocyts
cotransported with sodium (secondary active transport because of NaK ATPase)
34
what cells secrete pepsin and lipase
chief cells which also secrete pepsinogen
35
why is lipase not overactive in the pancreas but it works in the lumen
colipase is only active in the lumen, and it is what allows lipase to bind to fat droplets and start cleaving
36
olestra
indigestible fat, too big to be absorbed
37
steatorrhea
fatty stool
38
orlistat
pancreatic lipase inhibitor can cause weight loss, but most people on it get steatorrhea and cramping can cause vitamin a,d,e,k deff.
39
what separates the mucosa from the submucosa in the intestine
muscularis mucosae (thin layer of smooth muscle)
40
submucosal (meissner's) plexi
in the submucosa (duh) largely comprised of parasympathetic post-ganglionic cell bodies, pre- and post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers, and post ganglionic (duh) sympathetic fibers
41
Rokitansky-Aschoff
sinuses of rokitansky aschoff are large outpocketings in the main lumen of the GALL BLADDER
42
labss in pancreatitis
amylase and lipase elevated lipase is more sensitive and specific lipase will not show up in chronic pancreatitis ``` increased WBC left shift increased glucose dehydration LDH/AST up Ca down albumin down O2 down ``` look for swelling and inflammation on CT
43
erosion vs ulceration
ulceration go past the mucosa into the submucosa or further
44
organism that can cause gastritis that has a resevoir in cats, dogs, pigs, etc
helicobacter heilmannii - still use that diff-quick blue stain shit that isn't in FA
45
"chronic atrophic gastritis"
usually this refers to autoimmune gastritis
46
most common metastatic tumors to the peritoneum
ovarian and pancreatic carcinoma
47
idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
dense fibrosing process that can result in renal failure due to ureteral obstruction can see calcification of the aorts
48
when do ya get spoon nails
plummer-vinson syndrome
49
List the three most common types of infectious esophagitis that can occur in immunocompromised patients.
Candida herpes simplex CMV
50
esophageal mucosa shows burrows, concentric rings, and is studded with whitish-gray nodular plaques biopsy shows marked reactive squamous hyperplasia patient is allergic to stuff in the stem probs what other cells are you looking for and what is the likely diagnosis
eosinophilic esophagitis only 40-50% of them show mild levels of eosinophils
51
EGFR amplification: what cancer of the upper gi system
adenocarcinoma
52
most common benign mesenchymal tumor of the esophagus
leiomyoma
53
menetrier's
excessive secretion of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) Diffuse hyperplasia of foveolar epithelium of the body and fundus of the stomach. Patients also experience protein losing enteropathy and hypoproteinemia, with diarrhea, weight loss, and peripheral edema. Some cases of Menetrier’s disease are associated with an infection (e.g. CMV in children). at risk for gastric adenocarcinoma
54
what is a gastrinoma causes what syndrome
neuroendocrine tumor most commonly found in the pancreas and small bowel, can cause increased gastrin secretion (zollinger-ellison) assc with MEN type I
55
FAP causes what type of stomach polyp
cystic fundic gland (also caused by PPIs) and gastric adenoma also is associated with gastric adenocarcinoma
56
Mesenchymal polypoid proliferation composed of a mixture of stromal spindle cells, small blood vessels, and inflammatory cells, particularly eosinophils.
inflammatory fibroid polyp
57
tumor in the stomach (usually) that has a gain of function mutation of the gene encoding receptor tyrosine kinase KIT
GIST cells differentiate towards interstitial cells of Cajal. can also have mutations that activate a receptor tyrosine kinase called platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha
58
imatinib used for what gastric thing
GIST imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor
59
neutrophil count in ascitic fluid that indicates infection
250/ml
60
microbes that cause carries vs ones that cause gingivitis which are gram +? -?
carries = positive | peridontal disease = negative
61
azole mech
block production of ergosterol and causes an accululation of toxic sterols, causing membrane stress block the enzyme lanosterol demethylase
62
thing that can treat peptic ulcer disease that can precipitate abortion
misoprostol
63
drug used for peptic ulcers that can cause gynecomastia
cimetidine, an H2 blocker also inhibits CYPs ("cimminon" rolls in mneumonic)
64
antibiotic used for h pylori that causes anorexia, nausia, vom, diarrhea
clarithromycin
65
diclofenac what is it what is it given with sometimes to prevent a stomach thing
NSAID given with misoprostol (PGE analogue) to stop it from causing ulcers
66
sucralfate
Sucralfate is a sucrose sulfate-aluminium complex that binds to the ulcer, creating a physical barrier that protects the gastrointestinal tract from stomach acid and prevents the degradation of mucus. It also promotes bicarbonate production and acts like an acid buffer with cytoprotective properties. can be given in the ICU for stress ulcers
67
class of clarithromycin
macrolide, binds 50s subunit
68
drugs that cause anorexia, blurred vision, constipation, confusion, dry mouth, sedation
atropine, pirenzipine the antimuscarinics (M1 blockers) blocks acid secretion in the stomach
69
-tidine which one inhibits cyp450, what SE does it have
H2 blocker cimetidine - gynecomastia, impotence in males, galactorrhea in females
70
antacid that causes constipation? | which causes diarrhea?
aluminum - aluminimum amount of feces magnesium - osmotic diarrgea
71
which antacid causes mild alkalosis? which can cause severe alkalosis? Milk-alkali syndrome?
calcium carbonate - mild systemic alkalosis sodium bicarbonate - severe metabolic alkalosis both cause milk alkali syndrome (hypercalcemia with impaired renal function if taken with dairy products
72
what is sucralfate | what can't you take it with and why
acid in stomach converts it to a paste --> sticks to ulcer like a band-aid requires acidic environment (can't give with PPIs or H2 blockers)
73
esomeprazole vs omeprazole
some people are poor metabolizers (CYP2C19) of omeprazole, so they use esomeprazole esomeprazole is the same active ingredient, but the stereochemistry is different and doesn't need to be activated as much
74
bradycardia and hypotension what ulcer treatment drug
H2 blocker tidines
75
confusion, hallucinations, agitation what ulcer treatment drug
H2 blockers tidines
76
DOC in zollinger-ellison to stop acid secretion
PPI
77
what is the secretin test and what is it used for
give secretin to the patient to stimulate bicarb release from the pancreas in a normal patient, the pH would go up in a ZE syndrome patient, the pH stays low PPIs interfere with the secretin test, causing a false neg in ZE syndrome
78
what drug used for h pylori SHOULD be taken with a meal
tetracycline
79
what does monitor peptide do
it and CCK-RP cause release of CCK from I cells into the blood these are shut off when trypsin cleaves them
80
function of GLP-1 released from what cells
secreted from intestinal L cells, causes increased insulin and decreased glucagon with glucose is ingested Gliptins increase it's stability
81
IgG4 related disease we talked about
type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis
