jnct complexes by bacteria
target proteins of ZO; enterotoxin of clostridium perfringens binds claudins to form pore; H. pylori binds to junctional adhesion mlc at ZO and redistributes occludin/JAM/ZO-1 to lose polarization
jnct complexes by viruses/parasites
target proteins of ZO; Hep C bind claudin so virus internalizes and causes liver cirrhosis; retrovirus bind JAM to internalize virus, children; parasites have serine protease to destroy occludin and ZO-1, vulnerable to allergens

palma fibromatosis; thickened aponeurosis, too much collagen by myofibroblasts
osteogenesis imperfecta
collagen 1 defect; blue sclera-choroidal veins
marfan syndrome
defect in FBN1 gene encoding for fibrillin-1 (involving elastic fibers); arachnodactly, tall wing span, painted by Greco, heart attack-valves; affects the eye because xonula fibers suspending the lens
ehlers-danlos IV

lipoma
adipose tissue tumor; tissue of back, thorax, proximal limbs
keloids
overgrowth of dense CT after wound healing; more collagen produced; myofibroblasts play role
multiple myeloma
sheets of malignant plasma cells (dyscrasia) in bone marrow aspirate; IgM spike; degrades bone marrow of cortical bone
anaphylaxis
allergic rxn; degran of mast cells; bronchiole sm contracts; skin edema-hives
malignant fibrous histiocytoma
soft tissue tumor; sarcomas-CT or mesenchyme precursors; cells present-fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, macrophages, mesenchymal
osteomalacia
lack of calcium or vit D, thick osteoid, bones don't harden, impaired mineralization, adult rickets
osteoporosis
bone resorbed by OC, thin trabeculae (spongy bone); imbalance in OB/OC; decreased bone deposition (from PTH); less estrogen increases cytokines and stim OC
