Q

<p></p>

<p>What is desensitization therapy?</p>

A

used with honeybee allergy for example, give repeated injections with higher doses. Body makes more IgG that can bind to allergin and prevent binding to mast cell

Q

<p>Key feature of HST-3 and reason for different manifestations</p>

Study These Flashcards
A

FIBRINOID NECROSIS - replacement of damaged vessel walls. Lupus is example of HST3 IF IN SKIN. various antigen and site of deposition leads to DIFFERENT CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

25

Example of immune complex deposition

LUPUS AND POSTSTROPTOCOCCAL GLOMERULONEPHRITIS make GRANULAR DEPOSITS resulting in kidney damage!
26

type 4 hypersensitivity

DELAYED response of t cells from antigen. cd4 releases cytokines after repeat exposure, leading to inflamation and tissue injury
27

examples of type 4 hypersensitivy

TB skin test. poison ivy, nickel exposure.
28
>Granuloma formation
macrophages enter epithelial following cytokine activity. Becomes histiocytes and surround infection to contain it.
29
large dense pink circles

caseating granuloma caused from TB. CENTRAL NECROSIS

30
oncogenes are?
oncogenes are similar to pro-oncogenes and express oncoproteins. only need ONE allele to activate. promote cell growth with absense of signals
31
RAS oncogene does what
when mutated its permanently active leading to cell stimulation
32
why test for her-2/neu?
if this epidermal growth factor receptor is present, can be treated by monoclonal antibodies!
33
Why test for KRAS mutation?
if present, pathway is active without the EGFR signal so it cant be treated like her2/neu
34
If BCR-ABL is found?
CML! philly 22. incrased growth. This is a oncogene
35
Inheritad mutation in BRCA1/2?
BRCA regulates DNA repair. if BOTH are lost may get breast, prostate or ovary cancer. auto domin
36
Inherited mutation in APC?
APC stops nuclear transciption. If both alleles are lost, get familial polypsos (colorectal carcinoma). auto domin
37
Warburg effect?
cancer cells shift to aerobic glycolyis to make more cell required intermediates
38
BCL-2 overexpression?
BCL2 prevents cytochrome c release from mito. If increased it prevents cell death and can lead to follicular lymphoma.
39
hereditary nonpolyposos colon cancer syndrome
defect in DNA repair. born with one, other mutated later in life. auto dominant
40
New cancer classification system?
No longer classified by anatomy but by THERAPEUTIC TARGETS
41
platelet activating factor
released by mast cells AND macrophages. platelet aggragation and contract pulmonary smooth muscles
42
Epi treatment dosing. Other treatment for anaphylaxis
.01mg/kg IM in leg (hold for 10 seconds if pen) use 1:1000 mixture. give oxygen, monitor vitals, benadryl, albuterol. give IV if bp does not rise. .3 max in children, .5 in adults! Adult epipen is preset to .3 mg/kg
43
Cell kill hypothesis
CCS drugs follow first order kinetics and kill PROPORTION of tumor cells at given dose
44
radiation recall reaction | Common causes?
erythema and desquamation of skin at sites of prior radiation therapy Most common with ANTHRACYCLINE (doxo)
45
recruitment in antineoplastics
CCNS used for log kill, makes cancer go to Go, CCS given to kill rapidly dividing cells
46
synchrony with antineoplastics
Ability of CCS to make cells go into same cell division at same time. results in more sensitive to drugs. Time delivery of second drug.
47
folic acid if low? When to give it?
folate supplement. more stable. If low, get megaloblastic anemia and NUERAL TUBE DEFECT. No neural damage Give only after b12 is stable, otherwise will mask neuro defects (anemia comes before neuro damage in b12 defiency)
48
leucovorin
replaces folate therapy | does not need DHFR
49
B12
low due to malabsorption cant give oral neuro damage
50
b12 supplements
Hydroxycobalamin (also used for cyanide poisoning) -stays in circ longer due to plasma bound cyanocabalamin
51
reduced folate carrier
low affinity high capacity transport for folate leuco >folate > metho reduced expression is PRIMARY resistance Important at PHARM levels
52
leucovorin rescue (form of rescue therapy)
if RFC expression is low, need to increase methotrexate levels. Give leucovorin to feed normal cells that wont have DHFR working anymore
53
folate receptor
high affinity low capacity system found on specific tissues (lungs kidney, placenta). transport folate at low levels. Important at PHYSIOLOGICAL CONC.
54
polyglutamation
folate is polyglutamated by folypolyglutamate synthase (FPGS). Needed to retain it and increase affinity for thymidylate synthase Example of SELECTIVE TOXICITY
55
Trimethoprim
inhibits BACTERIAL DHFR
56
Sulfamethoxazole
inhibits dihydropteroate synthase in bacteria. works synergisit with trimethoprim
57
dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase
degrades 5-fu in liver. If deficient, increased sensitivity to drug
58
pyrimidine monophosphate kinase
converts UMP to UDP. important in resistance to 5-fu
59
rate limiting step in DNA synthesis?
thymiddylate syntahase. dUMP to dTMP
