    Study Notes

    Cellular Injury

    • Cellular injury occurs when cells cannot adapt to their environment.
    • Major causes:
      • Ischemia: Lack of blood flow, depriving cells of oxygen and nutrients, and preventing removal of harmful metabolites. More damaging than hypoxia.
      • Hypoxia: Lack of oxygen; indicated by discoloration and pulse ox changes.
      • Physical trauma: Cutting or blunt force injury.
      • Radiation (ionizing, nonionizing, UV): Disrupts organelles via reactive oxygen species (ROS).
      • Chemical: Blocks DNA synthesis, damages cells directly (drugs, heavy metals, industrial chemicals).
      • Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of necessary vitamins and minerals.

    Mechanisms of Cellular Injury

    • Free radical formation: Unstable atoms damage cells, causing illness and aging. Degrades the lipid bilayer.
    • ATP depletion: Reduced energy for cellular functions.
    • Increased intracellular calcium: Disrupts cellular processes.

    Apoptosis vs. Necrosis

    • Apoptosis: Programmed cell death.

      • Cell shrinks.
      • One cell primarily affected.
      • Cell contents ingested by neighbouring cells.
      • No inflammation.
      • Membrane blebbing but integrity maintained.
      • Apoptotic bodies form.
      • Mitochondria release pro-apoptotic proteins.
      • Chromatin condensation and non-random DNA degradation.
      • Physiological (ageing cell removal) or pathological (dysfunction leading to cancer).
      • Uses caspase enzymes.

    • Necrosis: Uncontrolled cell death.

      • Cell swells.
      • Many cells affected.
      • Inflammation noted.
      • Cell contents ingested by macrophages.
      • Loss of membrane integrity.
      • Cell lysis occurs.
      • Organelle swelling and random DNA degradation.
      • Different types (coagulative, liquefactive, fat, caseous).

    Wound Healing

    • Inflammation: Blood clot formation, attraction of neutrophils and macrophages to remove dead cells and bacteria.
    • Proliferative: Fibroblasts build extracellular matrix to close wound edges.
    • Remodeling: New fibrous tissue forms, then degrades.

    Genetic Disorders

    Levels of DNA Organization

    • Chromosomes consist of tightly coiled DNA.
    • Humans have 23 homologous chromosome pairs.
    • Homologous chromosomes: Chromosome pairs with corresponding DNA, one from each parent.
    • Homozygous: Identical alleles at corresponding loci (e.g., type O blood).
    • Heterozygous: Different alleles at corresponding loci (e.g., AB blood type).

    Gene Expression Regulation

    • Gene expression can be modified without altering DNA sequence.
    • Induction: Activating a gene.
    • Repression: Deactivating a gene.

    Epigenetic Mechanisms

    • DNA methylation: Prevents transcription by adding methyl groups to DNA.
    • microRNA: Inhibits translation by binding to mRNA.

    Mendelian Inheritance and Genotype/Phenotype Prediction

    • Determine child's genotype and phenotype (disease or no disease) given parent genotypes (autosomal dominant, recessive, X-linked recessive).

    Types of Genetic Disorders

    • Autosomal Dominant: One altered gene copy causes disease. 50% chance of inheritance.
    • Autosomal Recessive: Two altered gene copies needed.
    • X-linked Recessive: Mutation on X chromosome. Males typically affected.
    • Mitochondrial Inheritance: Inherited from the mother.
    • Chromosomal Disorders: Breaks, rearrangements, or deletions in chromosomes (e.g., Down, Turner, Klinefelter).
    • Multifactorial Disorders: Multiple factors contribute (lifestyle, environment and genes).

    Clinical Signs and Causes of Genetic Disorders

    • Autosomal Dominant:
      • Osteogenesis imperfecta: Brittle bones, bowed legs (collagen mutation).
      • Marfan syndrome: Tall, slender build, aortic issues, lens dislocation (fibrillin-1 mutation).
      • Huntington's disease: Movement and cognitive decline (CAG repeat mutation).
      • Neurofibromatosis: Café au lait spots, tumors (nerve mutation).
      • Achondroplasia: Short limbs, dwarfism (FGFR3 mutation).
    • Autosomal Recessive:
      • Cystic fibrosis: Respiratory and digestive issues (CFTR mutation).
      • Sickle cell anemia: Anemia, pain, sickled RBCs (hemoglobin mutation).
    • X-linked Recessive:
      • Hemophilia: Bleeding disorder (clotting factor mutation).
      • Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Muscle weakness (dystrophin mutation).
    • Mitochondrial Inheritance: Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
    • Chromosomal Disorders: Specific features for each (Down, Turner, Klinefelter).

    Prenatal Testing

    • Ultrasound: Structural abnormalities.
    • Maternal Serum Biomarkers: (Quad Screen) AFP, hCG, inhibin A, estriol.
    • Cell-free DNA: Measures fetal DNA in maternal blood for chromosomal abnormalities.
    • Amniocentesis: Invasive test of amniotic fluid.
    • Chorionic Villus Sampling: Invasive test of placental tissue (10-13 weeks).
