Chemcial conditions in MI?
High lactate, low pH, low PFK-1 = rate limiting enzyme ing lycolysis, olow ATP --> influx of Ca
Why is low ATP in MI bad?
Dysfuucntion of membrane pump --> influx of Dca --> cell death + lysis
Name some pain mediators in MI
Bradykinins, proostaglandins, serotonin, histamine, lactic acid
Which torponins do we test for? When do they rise?for how long?
T and I form muslce - prefred marker. Rises 3-12 hours after; stays for 7-10 day
What do we look for with CK?
Isoform MB; rises 4-8hours, delcines 12-24
What do we look for with LDH?
Isoform H4 >L2; rise 12-4, peak 2-3days
Innervation of the pericardai?
C3-C5 - phrenic nerve
epicardial innervation?
Autonomic from underlying part
Heart innervation? Motor, sympa, parasympa
Autonomic motor supply = Sym,pa T1-5; PSNS = X, slows rate no impact on contractility
Thow specific are troponin tests?
very
What are the heart/muscle isoenzymes of CK?
Heart CK-MB; sk m = CK-MM; Brain CK-BB.
How good a test is CK?
Sensitive >90%; but not specific - increased in trauma, exetion, post op, convulsions, etc.
How is energy stored in striated muscle?
CK stokes energy as creatine phosphate which maintains level of cellular ATP.
How common are eating disorders? Most common age? RFs?
Female 10:1 male; 50% 1st year realspe 90% overall relapse, death rate 1%/yr; lasts 5yrs average; most common 15-19; bulimia 20-24yo; Genes, personality, Sexual abuse, dysfuncitonal family
Summarise biochem
Glucose oxidised to pyruvate; enters citrica acid cycle, generates reduced NADH and FADH2, donate electrons to electron tranport chain. O2 acts as terminal electron acceptor. Electron flux powers H+ transport. This gradient drives ATP syntehsis via ATP syntahse across inner mito matrix
Reccommended food proportions
30% fat; 50% carb; 20% protien.
How much stuff is produed in glycolysis / glucose molecul
2 ATP net; 2 NADH formed
What happens to pyruvate - 2 ways?
1) oxidised to acteyl grou pof acetyl co A; OR reduced to lactate
What isi the yield of the citric acid cycle?
2ATP, 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 4CO2 per glucose unit (hafl per pyruvate)
What is oxidative phosphorylation?
Generates more energy from NADH and FADH2, and regeerates NAD/FAD to continue cycle. This uses oxygen vi athe electron transport chian.
What food do we aviod in PKU?
Preotein - esp meat, fish, dairy
What is PKU a disorder of?
PAAH - required for Tyrosine synthesis.
What amino acid accumulates in PKU?
Phenylalanine
What symptoms do we see in PKU?
MAIN: Intellectual. ALSO: Tremor, Seizures, Parkinson-like, abnormalitie sof gait, behavioural problems, psychiatric disorde, tec

Stats on breast cancer?
1 in 11; 85% with mutatnt BRAC1; 67% are ER+; 80% ductal, 20% lobular; familial 5-10%
What percent of breat lumps are fibrocystic disease?
40%
Name 3 casues of a tender breast lump
1) Abscess (breastfeeding esp) 2) Fibroadenosis (proliferative disease, not atypia 3) breast cyst; no nprolfierative)
Name some breast cancer oncogens
BRAC1 ch17; BRAC2 - chr13. These do not express ER or PR = harder to trea. ALOS p53 (50% all cancers); ER+ - 2/3 br ca - stimulates prolfieration. HRT will stimulate. Tamoxifen stops. HER-2 - 20-25%. Herceptin used to block
Whats another word for anaplasia?
Lack of differentiation
Name 4 kinds of antibiotics which inhibit cell wall synthesis
Beta lactans (inhibit petidoglycan yntehsis); Vancomyci (inhibits piptidoglycan cross linker); Bacitracin (disrups peptidoglycan precurse movement); Antimycobacterial - disrups mycloic acid
Name 5 Abs which inhibit proteins ynthesis. What do they bind to?
Animoglycosides - irreveribly bindt o 30S ribosome; Tetracyclines: block tRNA binding to ribosome -mRNA complex (30S); Chloramphenical - blocks peptitadaal elongation (50S)); Macrolides - reversibly bind to block elongation (50S); Clindamycin block elongaito n)(50S) - NB: These are ALL bacteriostatic EXCEP Aminoglysodies
Name 2 Abs which alter cell membrnaes
Polyxmisins (catioinic detergent like); Bacitracin
Name 24 Abs which inhibit NA synthesis
DNA: quinolones inhibit supercoiling; Metronidazole (cytotoxic byproducts disrupt DNA); RNA: Rifampin - binds RNA polymerase; Bacitracin - inhibits rAN trasncription
Name 3 Abs with antibmetaoblite activity
Sulfonamides, dapsone - compet with PABA (folic acid) sytmethsis); Trimethoprim - inhibit dihydrofolate reductase
Name and describe the 5 layer sof skin
Basale, Spinosum, Granulosu, Lucdum (rare), Corneum

What is the most common agent causing UTI/
85% UPEC - urpoatogenic E Coli (in young sexually active - staphyloccus saphrophyticus)
What AB should not be used in prgegnancy?
Tetracycline --> teet discolouration; Sulfa --> jaudncie;. ALSO: Isoniazid, rifampin, difluca, vaccines
