Cards

Term
Hurler syndrome
Definition
lysosomal storage disease
alpha-l-iduronidase defect, affects nervous system
Term
Tay-sachs disease
Definition
lysosomal storage disease
hexosaminadase A defect, affects skeletal and nervous systems
Term
Sanfillipino syndrom
Definition
lysosomal storage disease
heparan sulfate sulfamidase defect,affects skeletal and nervous systems
Term
Gaucher
Definition
lysosomal storage disease
beta-o-glycosidase defect, affects liver and spleen
Term
I-cell disease
Definition
lysosomal storage disease
phosphotransferase defect, affects skeleton and nervous system
Term
Kartagener's syndrome
Definition
immobile cilia disorder from disorganized microtubles and MAPs. affects respiratory cilia- allows buildup of accumulated secretions
also may cause sterility
Term
Colochine
Definition
drug that binds MTs and prevents polymerization, used in gout tx to prevent tissue deposits
Term
Vinblastine/Vincristine
Definition
binds MTs and inhibits mitotic spindle formation, used in cancer therapy
Term
Taxol
Definition
drug used in breast cancer treatment to stabilize MTs and prevent depolymerization- arrests cell division
Term
Cytochalasin B&D
Definition
binds (+) end actin polymers, inhibits lymphocyte migration, phagocytosis and cell division
Term
Phalloidin/other mushroom toxins
Definition
binds/stabilizes actin filaments to prevent depolymerization
use w/ flourescein dyes to stain actin filaments in lab
prolonged exposure may disrupt F/G actin equilibrium= cell death
Term
Alzheimers
Definition
produces neurofibrillary triangles containing neurofilaments and MAPs- defect in proper assembly of IFs
Term
Alcoholic liver cirrhosis
Definition
Mallory bodies in liver resulting from eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions comprised of keratin IFs
Term
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (immotile cilia syndrome)
Definition
group of autosomal recessive hereditary disorders, includes Kartagener's syndrome and Young's syndrome
Term
Young's syndrome
Definition
malfunction of radial spokes and dynein arms of cilia making it immotile. Results in chronic respiratory distress, otitis media and persistent cough/asthma
may cause infertility in males from defects of sperm and ductus deferens, but females w/ disease can still be fertile
Term
Polycystic kidney disease
Definition
inability to open calcium channels, cysts build up
Term
Situs inversus
Definition
Internal organs on wrong sides of body- from cilia rotating in counterclockwise direction instead of clockwise in embryo
Term
Hydocephalus internus
Definition
fluid accumulation on brain from immotile cilia
Term
Clostridium perfringens
Definition
bacteria that causes food poisoning
binds claudins of junctional complexes and prevents binding there, have a leak
diarrhea/dehydration results from fluid moving into intestinal lumen
Term
Parasites
Definition
House mite feces can break down zonula occludens junctions if inhaled
results in impaired respiratory epithelium and exposure to allergens, asthma attacks
Term
H. pylori
Definition
bacteria that may cause gastric ulcers/carcinomas
binds extracellular domains of zonula occludens junctions and disrupts barrier
Term
RNA Viruses
Definition
may use junction adhesion molecules to cause infant enteritis
attachment/endocytosis results in apoptosis of cells
Term
Cytogenic testing
Definition
chromosomal analysis used to dx genetic disorders
extract whole, living chromosome and hybridize w/ fluorescent probes (FISH)
Term
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Definition
Type I collagen defect
repeated fractures after trauma, brittle bones, abnormal teeth, thick skin, weak tendons, blue sclerae and progressive hearing loss
Term
Knlest dysplasia
Definition
Type II collagen disorder
short stature, decreased joint mobility, ocular changes leading to blindness, wide metaphyses and joint abnormalities on x-ray
Term
Ehers-Danlos type IV
Definition
Type III collagen disorder
hypermobility of digit joints, pale think skin, bruise easily, early morbidity/mortality from blood vessel/organ rupture
Term
Alport's syndrome
Definition
Type IV collagen disorder
hematauria from structural changes in glomerular basement membrane of kidneys, progressive hearing loss and ocular lesions
Term
Kindler's syndrome
Definition
type IV collagen disorder
no anchoring fibrils- severe blistering and scarring of skin after trauma
Term
Multiple epiphysial dysplasia (MED)
Definition
type IX collagen disorder
skeletal deformities from impaired endochondral ossification and premature degenerative joint disease
Term
Schnid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia
Definition
Type X collagen disorder
skeletal deformities from modifications of vertebral bodies/metaphyses of long bones
Term
Strickler's syndrome type II
Definition
Type XI collagen disorder
craniofacial skeletal deformities, severe, myopia, retinal detachments and hearing loss
Term
Gen. atrophic benign epidermolysis bullosa (GABEB)
Definition
type XII collagen disorder
blistering skin disease with dermal/epidermal separation from faulty hemidesmosomes, skin/nail atrophy and alopecia
Term
Fibrillin microfilaments and sun exposure
Definition
MFs undergo extensive remodeling after extensive sun exposure
fibers become sparse/truncated, have aberrant nonfunctional elastic fibers
results in decreased skin elasticity and deep wrinkles
Term
Degenerative joint disease
Definition
chronic joint pain, especially in weight-bearing joints. Deformity of joints and destruction of articular cartilage, decreased water and proteoglycan content
creates new articular surface on bone itself- pain and joint fusion, decreased mobility
Term
arthritis
Definition
joint inflammation, varying degrees of disability and pain
Term
ankylosis
Definition
calcification of articular cartilage, leads to decreased range of motion
Term
Rheumatoid arthritis/tuberculosis
Definition
immune responses/infectious diseases damage cartilage. may be helped w/ joint replacement
Term
Gout
Definition
buildup of acid crystals in joints- very painful and decreases range of motion. may often be a side effect of HTN meds
Term
Rickets
Definition
Calcium deficiency in bone during growth so matrix doesn't calcify normally. From insufficient calcium or vitamin D, adult form is called osteomalacia
Term
Osteoporosis
Definition
osteoclast activity > osteoblast activity, bone is diminished
increases levels of cytokines and enhanced osteoclast activity from decreased estrogen make this common in postmenopausal women
Term
Vitamin A deficiency/toxicity
Definition
deficiency: suppresses endochondral ossification
toxicity: fragility and fractures of long bones
Term
Vitamin C deficiency
Definition
scurvy- production of uncalcifiable collagen. Seen in sailors......arrrgh
