New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF CELL INJURY
AND ADAPTATIONS
2. Introduction
Homeostasis
Causes of cell injury
Pathogenesis
Morphology of cell injury
Cell swelling
Intra cellular accumulation
Calcification
Enzyme leakage and Cell Death
Acidosis &Alkalosis
Electrolyte imbalance
3. Definition:
Cell injury is defined as a variety of stresses in cell
that encounters as a result of changes in its internal and
external environment.
4.
5. Homeostasis
Homeostasis is the property of a system within the body of a
living organism in which a variable, such as concentration of a
substance in solution, is actively regulated to remain very
nearly constant.
The word originates from two words: homeo and stasis. In Greek
language homoios means similar and stasis means standing still.
Thus the word indicates “staying the same”.
Operation of the feedback mechanisms involves 3 components:
The sensor
The control center
The effector
6. Components and Types of
Feedback Mechanisms
Positive
feedback
The onset of contractions in
childbirth, known as
Ferguson reflex.
When a contraction occurs,
the hormone oxytocin,
which increases uterine
contractions. This results in
contractions increasing in
amplitude and frequency.
7. Negative feedback
Most endocrine hormones are
controlled by a physiologic negative
feedback inhibition loop, such as the
glucocorticoids secreted by the adrenal
cortex. The hypothalamus secretes
corticotrophin-releasing hormone
(CRH), which directs the anterior
pituitary gland to secrete
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
In turns, ACTH directs the adrenal
cortex to secrete glucocorticoids, like
cortisol. Glucocorticoids not only
perform their respective functions
throughout the body but also
negatively affect the release of further
stimulating secreations of both
hypothalamus and the pituitary gland,
effectively reducing the output of
glucocorticoids once a sufficient
amount has been released.
8. The causes of cell injury, reversible or irreversible
may be broadly classified into two large groups:
a)Genetic causes
b)Acquired causes
1. Hypoxia and Ischemia
2. Physical Agents
3. Chemicals and drugs
4. Microbial Agents
5. Immunological agents:
6. Psychological factors
Causes of cell injury
9. a) Genetic causes: Genetic defects may results in pathological changes as seen
in Sickle cell anemia
b) Acquired causes: Based on the underlying agents the acquired causes of cell
injury may be further classified as under:
1. Hypoxia and Ischemia:
Cells require oxygen to generate energy and carry out metabolic functions.
Deficiency of oxygen (hypoxia) results in failure to carry out these activities by
the cells.
Thus hypoxia is the most common cause of cell injury. The causes of hypoxia
are as under:
a) Reduced supply of blood to cells i.e Ischemia
b) Other causes include: Anemia, carbon monoxide poisioning.
2. Physical Agents:
These are
Mechanical trauma (e.g: Road accidents)
Thermal trauma (e.g: By heat and cold)
Electricity
Radiations (e.g: Ultraviolet and ionizing)
Rapid changes in atmospheric pressure.
10. 3. Chemicals and drugs: These includes:
Chemical poisons (e.g: cyanide, arsenic, mercury)
Strong acids and alkalis
Environmental pollutants
Insecticides and pesticides
Hypertonic glucose and salts
Oxygen at higher concentration
Social agents (e.g: Alcohol, Narcotic drugs)
These agents may cause severe damage at cellular level by altering
membrane permeability, osmotic homeostasis or integrity of an enzyme or
cofactor resulting in death of the cell.
4. Microbial Agents: Injuries by microbes includes infections caused by
bacteria, viruses, fungi, rickettsiae, protozoa, metazoan and other parasites.
5. Immunological agents: It protects the host against various injurious
agents it may also turn lethal and cause cell injury.
e.g: Hypersensitivity reaction, anaphylactic reaction, autoimmune reaction.
11. 6. Nutritional imbalance: Nutritional deficiency (protein deficiency
Kwashiorkor, marasmus) or an excess of nutrients (e.g obesity, atherosclerosis,
hypertension) may result in nutritional imbalance which causes cell injury.
7. Psychological factors: There are no specific biochemical or morphological
changes that occurs in common mental diseases. However, problem of drug
addiction, alcoholism and smoking results in various organic diseases such as
liver damage, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, peptic ulcer, hypertension,
Ischemic heart diseases etc.
13. Cell membrane damage
Cell membrane diseases are life threatning disorders
which are genetic in nature.
They usually work against proteins in the body which
are important for ion channels and receptors within the
membrane.
14. Following are some of the important disorders related to cell membrane:
a) Hyaline membrane disease
It is commonly associated with pre-term infants. It affects the
lungs at the time of birth causing respiratory distress. As a result, lungs
require abnormal levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange after
birth.
b) Alzheimer’s disease
It is a progressive
disease that destroys memory and
other important mental functions.
The oxidative stress caused by
Alzheimer’s disease in the brain
results in phospholipid alterations.
These alterations disrupt functions
of the brain cells.
15. c) Cystic fibrosis:
It is a disease which brings about an
excessive production of fluid in the
lungs due to a defective calcium ion
channel. when the channel mutate
leading to alteration in proteins, it
causes the mucus to build up in the
lungs, creating difficulty in breathing.
d) Duchenne muscular dystrophy:
This disease affects dystrophin in the muscle cell. Dystrophin allows the
muscle cell wall to connect with the intracellular section. In absence of
dystrophin, the cell membrane is incapable of repairing itself, destroying it
and causing muscular dystrophy.
17. Following are the examples of mitochondrial diseases:
a) Diabetes mellitus and deafness (DAD):
It is subtype of diabetes which is caused from a point mutation at position
3243 in human mitochondrial DNA and it is characterized by diabtes and
sensorineural hearing loss.
b) Leber’s hereditary optic
neuropathy (LHON):
It is a mitochondrially inherited
(transmitted from mother to
offspring) dengeration of retinal
ganglion cells (RGCs) and their
axons that leads to an acute or
subacute loss of central vision;
this affects predominantly young
adult males.
18. c)Leigh syndrome: sub-acute sclerosing encephalopathy.
d) Neuropathy, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa and ptosis (NARP):
a type of dementia.
e) Myoneurogenic gastrointestinal encephalopathy (MNGIE):
a type of neuropathy.
f) Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalomyopathy
g) Mitochondiral neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNE).
19. RIBOSOMAL DAMAGE
Damage to ribosomes can lead to diseases which termed as
Ribosomopathy.
Ribosomopathies are caused by alterations in the structure or
function of ribosomal.
Name of some these disease are listed below. Details including
which chromosomes are affected genotype, phenotype, protein
and the site of disruption are for the diseases.
20. Affected individuals may also have an
opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft
palate) with or without a split in the
upper lip (cleft lip).
They may have a short, webbed neck;
shoulder blades that are smaller and
higher than usual; and abnormalities
of their hands, most commonly
malformed or absent thumbs.
a) Diamond-blackfan anemia: It is characterized normocytic or macrocytic
anemia (low RBC counts) with decreased erythroid progenitor cells in the bone
marrow.
b)Dyskeratosis congenital (DKC): The entity was classically defined by
the triad abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and leukoplakia of the
oral mucosa. It is characterized by short telomeres.
c) Shwachman-Diamond syndrome: It is characterized by bone marrow
dysfunction, skeletal abnormalities and short stature.
d) 5q-myelodysplastic syndrome: It is type of bone marrow disorder.
e) Treacher Collins syndrome: A inherited condition in which bones and
tissues in face aren’t developed.
21. a) Cornella de lange syndrome
Nuclear damage
Following diseases are caused by damage to the cell nucleus:
22. It is a rare genetic disorder present from birth.
Some of the important symptoms of the disease are as follows:
•Low birth weight
•Delayed growth and small stature
•Development delay
•Missing limbs or portions of limbs
•Microcephaly: small head size
•Excessive body hair
•Hearing impairment and vision abnormalities
•Partial joining of second and third toes
•Seizures, heart defects.
b) Revesz syndrome:
It is a fatal disease which causes exudative retinopathy and bone marrow failure.
Other symptoms include:
•severe aplastic anemia
•intrauterine growth retardation
•fine sparse hair
•fine reticulate skin pigmentation
•ataxia due to cerebellar hypoplasia and cerebral calcification.
•It is genetic disease thought to be caused by short telomeres.
23. c) Schinzel giedon
It is congenital, neurogenerative terminal
syndrome.
It exhibits severe midface retraction, skull
abnormalities, renal anomalies.
Babies with the syndrome have severe mental
retardation, growth retardation and global
development delay.
d) Spinal muscular atrophy
It is characterized by loss of motor neurons and progressively muscle
wasting, often leading to early death.
It is caused by a genetic defect in the SMN1 gene, which encodes SMN,
a protein which is needed for survival of motor neurons.
It causes loss of function of neuronal cells in the anterior horn of spinal
cord leading to atrophy of skeletal muscles. Muscular atrophy first
affects proximal muscles and lung muscles.
24. e) Treacher Collins syndrome
It is an autonomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by
craniofacial deformities, typically involving the ears, eyes, cheek bones
and jaw bones.
The typical physical features include downward-slanting eyes,
microganthia i.e. a smaller lower jaw, conductive hearing loss, under
developed zygomotic bones, drooping part of lateral lower eyelids and
malformed or absence of ears.
f) Triple-A syndrome
It is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder.
AAA stands for achalasia-addisonian-alacrima. It is progressive disorder
taking years to develop.
The patient with adrenal insufficiency/addison’s disease due to ACTH
resistance, alacrima i.e. absence of tear secretion and achalasia i.e. failure
of a ring of muscle fibers to relax to the lower esophageal sphincter which
delays food going to stomach.
It is associated with mutations of the AAAS gene, which encodes a
protiens known as ALADIN.
25. MORPHOLOGY OF CELL INJURY
1. Morphology of reversible cell injury
Cellular swelling
fatty changes
2. Morphology of irreversible cell injury
Necrosis
Apoptosis
3. Intracellular acculmulations
Acculmulations of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates.
Abnormal substances e.g: as in storage disease
Accumulations of pigments e.g: endogenous pigment, exogenous pigment.
4. Subcellular alterations in cell injury
26. ATROPHY
Muscle atrophyDefinition: Reduction of the number and size of the
parenchyma cells of an organ or its an organ or its part
which was once normal is called as atrophy.
Atrophy is a partial or complete wasting away of a part
of body.
It includes mutations, which can destroy the gene to
build up the organ, poor nourishment, poor
circulation, loss of hormonal support and loss of
nerve supply to the target organ.
e.g: Atrophy as a part of normal development include
shrinkage and involution of the thymus in early
childhood and the tonsils in adolescence. In old age it
may include loss teeth, hair, weakening of muscles or
loss of weight in organ and sluggish mental activity.
Muscle atrophies: Disuse atrophy of muscle and
bones, with loss of mass and strength, can occur
after prolonged immobility, such as extended bed
rest, or having a body part in a cast.
e.g: darkness for the eye or being bed ridden for the
legs.
27. HYPERTROPHY
Definition: It is the increase in the volume of
an organ or tissue due to enlargement of its
component cells.
Eccentric hypertrophy is observed where the
walls and chamber of a hollow organ
undergo growth in which the overall size
and volume are enlarged.
Physiologic hypertrophy:
e.g: enlarged size of the uterus in pregnancy.
Pathologic hypertrophy:
e.g i) hypertrophy of cardiac muscles in
systemic hypertension
ii) hypertrophy of smooth muscle e.g:
pyloric stenosis (in stomach)
28.
29. HYPERPLASIA
Definition:: It is an increase in the amount of organic tissue which results
from cell proliferation which may lead to gross enlargement of an organ
and may be confused with benign neoplasia/ tumour.
Gross changes: Enlargement of affected organ or tissue.
Microscopical changes: There is increase in the the number of the cells
which is due to the rate of DNA synthesis and hence mitosis of cells.
It is common pre-neoplastic response to stimulus. Microscopically, cells
resemble normal cells but are increased in numbers.
Physiologic hyperplasia:
e.g: 1) hormonal hyperplasia i.e hyperplasia due to hormonal stimulation.
E.g-hyperplasia of female breasts at puberty, during pregnancy and
lactation.
2) compensatory hyperplasia i.e. hyperplasia occurs due to removal
of organ. E.g- Regeneration pf liver following partial hepatectomy.
Pathologic hyperplasia:
e.g: 1) Endometrial hyperplasia following oestrogen excess.
2) In wound healing there is formation of granulation tissue due to
proliferation of fibroblast and endothelial cells.
30. Definition: It is defined as reversible change of one of epithelial or
mesenchymal cells, usually in response to abnormal stimuli and often reverts
back to normal on removal of stimulus.
Metaplasia is broadly divided into two types:
a) Epithelial Metaplasia: Metastatic change may be patchy or diffuse and
usually results in replacement by stronger but less well specialized epithelium.
Some common types of epithelial metaplasia are:
Squamous metaplasia
e.g: i. In bronchous of chronic smokers
ii. In vitamin A deficiency
Columnar metaplasia
e.g: intestinal metaplasia in healed chronic gastric ulcer.
b) Mesenchymal metaplasia: In this case transformation of one adult type of
mesenchymal tissue to another.
METAPLASIA
31. DYSPLASIA
Definition: It refers to an abnormality of development
or an epithelial anamoly of growth and differentiation
i.e. epithelial dysplasia.
The term dysplasia is typically used when the cellular
abnormality is restricted to the originating tissue, as in
case of an early, in situ neoplasm.
Examples of dysplasia include epithelial dysplasia of
the cervix.
In cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia an increased
population of immature cells, restricted to the mucosal
surface do not invade through the basement membrane
to the deeper soft tissues.
Dysplasia is characterized by 4 major pathological
microscopical changes:
1. Anisocytosis: cells of unequal size.
2. Poikilocytosis: abnormally shaped cells.
3. Hyperchromatism: excessive pigmentation.
4. Presence of mitotic figures: An unusual number of
cells which are currently dividing.
32. The most notable components of the cell which are targets of cell damage are
the DNA and the cell membrane. There are two types of damages are as
follows:
1) Sub-lethal (reversible) changes:
They are of two types: cellular swelling and fatty change.
a)Cellular swelling: two basic morphological changes manifested by sub-
lethally injured cells are cell swelling and fatty change.
b) Fatty changes: sometimes the cells are damaged to such an extent that they
are unable to metabolize fat adequately. In such cases small vacuoles of fat
accumulate and become dispersed within cytoplasm.
2) Lethal changes:
Necrosis:
Definition: it is characterized by cytoplasmic
swelling, irreversible damage to the plasma
membrane, and organelle breakdown leading
to cell death.
Types of cell damage
33. The stages of cellular necrosis include following:
a) Pyknosis : clumping of chromosomes and shrinking to the nmucleus of the
cell.
b) Karyorrhexis: fragmentation of the nucleus and breakup of the chromatin
into unstructural granules.
c) Karyolysis: dissolution of the cell nucleus.
Apoptosis:
Definition: it is form of coordinated and internally programmed cell death which
is of significance in a variety of physiologic and pathologic conditions.
Biochemical changes:
Proteolysis of cytoskeletal proteins
Proteins-protein cross linking
Fragmentation of nuclear chromatin by activation of nuclease.
Appearance of phosphatidyl serine on the outer surface of cell membrane.
34. Intracellular Accumulation
One of the manifestations of metabolic dearrangements in cells is the intracellular
accumulations of abnormal amounts of various substances.
It falls into two main categories:
A Normal cellular constituent like water, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates,
which accumulate in excess.
An abnormal substance, either exogenous like products of infectious agents
of endogenous such as product of abnormal synthesis or metabolism.
Abnormal accumulation of some major components and diseases related to them
are mentioned below:
Lipids:
All major classes of lipids can accumulate in cells: triglycerides, cholesterol and
phospholipids.
Some of the diseases related to lipids are mentioned below:
a) Steatosis (fatty changes): It is an abnormal accumulation of triglycerides
within parenchymal cells.
35. b) Atherosclerosis: In atherosclerotic plaques, smooth muscle cells and macrophages
within the intimal layer of the aorta and large arteries are filled with lipid vacuoles,
most of which are made up of cholesterol and cholesterol esters.
c) Xanthomas: Intracellular accumulation of cholesterol within macrophages is a
characterisistic of acquired and hereditary hyperlipidemic states.
d) Cholesterolosis: it refers to the focal accumulation of cholesterol-laden
macrophages in the lamina propria of the gall bladder.
Proteins
Intracellular accumulation of proteins appears as rounded, eosinophilic droplets,
vacuoles or aggregates in the cytoplasm. Excess of proteins within the cells sufficient
to cause morphologically visible accumulation have different causes as follows:
a) Reabsorption: Droplets in proximal renal tubules are seen in renal diseases
associated with proteinuria.
b)Accumulation of cytoskeletal proteins: There are several types of cytoskeletal
proteins.
e.g: Microtubules (20-25 nm in diameter)
c) Aggregation of abnormal proteins: Abnormal or misfolded proteins may deposit
in tissues and can interfere with normal functions.
36. Hyaline change:
Hyaline refers to an alteration within cells or in the extracellular space which gives a
homogeneous, glassy, pink appearance in routine histologic sections stained with
hematoxylin and eosin.
e.g: Reabsorption, Russell bodies, alcoholic hyaline are e.g of intracellular hyaline
deposits.
Glycogen: Glycogen accumulates within cells in a group of related genetic disordes
which are collectively reffered to as the glycogen storage disease or glycogenosis.
Calcification: It is accumulation of calcium salts in a body tissue. It normally occurs
in formation of bone, but calcium can be deposited abnormally in soft tissue, causing it
to harden.
e.g: Calcification of soft tissues like arteries, cartilage and heart valves can be caused by
vitamin K2 deficiency.Calcification can manifest in many ways in the body. Some of them
may be caused by poor calcium absorption.
The symptoms are as follows:
Kidney stones
Gall stones
Tartar on teeth
37. Enzyme leakage and death death:
The major cellular organelle containing digestive enzymes are lysosomes.
Following enzymes are present in lysosomes:
Acid phosphatoses for phosphate esters.
Nucleases: DNAase, RNAase for breakdown of nucleic acids.
Protein digesting enzmes: collagenase, cathepsins etc.
Carbohydrate digesting enzymes: beta-glycosidases, hexosaminidase A etc.
Lipid digesting enzymes: sphingomyelinase, esterases.
Silicosis: It may lead to tuberculosis.
Pompe disease (alpha-glucosidase).
Gaucher disease.
Sandhoff disease.
38. Acidosis and alkalosis
Acidosis:
It is an increased acidity in the blood and other body tissue. Usually it refers to
acidity of blood plasma. Usually it refers to acidity of blood plasma. Acidosis is
said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35, except in the foetus.
There is another term called acidemia, which describes the state of low blood pH.
Acidosis is used to describe the processes leading to these states.
Metabolic acidosis: It may results from either increased production of
metabolic acids, like lactic acid or disturbances in the ability to excrete acid via
kidney
Lactic acidosis may occur from one of the followng causes:
Severe hypoxemia
Hypoperfusion
Respiratory acidosis: in respiratory acidosis, carbon dioxide is increased
while the bicarbonate is normal or increased. It results from a build up of
carbon dioxide in blood, termed as hypercapnia, due to hypoventilation.
39. Sign and symptoms of acidosis:
Headaches
confusion
feeling tired
sleepiness
dysfunction of cerebrum which may progress to coma.
Alkalosis:
Alkalosis is a condition in which pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal
range of 7.35 to 7.55. It is a result of decresed hydrogen ion concentration,
leading to increased bicarbonate or alternatively a direct result of increased
bicarbonate concentration.
Alkalosis refers to a process by which the pH is increased. Alkalemia refers
to pH which is higher than normal, specifically in the blood.The causes of
metabolic alkalosis can divided into 2 categories, depending on urine
chloride levels.
40. Causes of alkalosis:
a) Chloride responsive alkalosis:
It caused by following reasons:
Loss of hydrogens ions: caused by vomiting or kidney failure.
Congenital chloride diarrhoea-a rare condition
Cystic fibrosis
Contraction alkalosis: caused by dehydration/use of diuretics.
b) Chloride resistant alkalosis:
It caused by following reasons:
Retention of bicarbonate
Shift of hydrogen ions into intracellular space: seen in hypokalemia.
Alkalotic agents like bicarbonate
Liddle syndrome characterized by hypertension and hypoaldosteronism.
Aminoglycoside toxicity can induce a hypokakalemic metabolic acidosis.
41. Electrolyte Imbalance
Electrolytes play a vital role in maintain homeostasis within the body.
They help to regulate heart and neurological function, fluid balance, oxygen
delivery, acid-base balance etc.
Electrolyte imbalances can develop by one the following mechanisms:
Excessive ingestion
Diminished elimination
Diminished ingestion
Excessive elimination
The most serious electrolyte disturbances involve abnormalities in the level of
sodium, potassium, or calcium.
Chronic laxatives abuse, severe diarrhoea or vomiting can cause electrolyte
disturbances along with dehydration.
Electrolytes are important because cells like nerve, heart and muscle use them
to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical
impulses across themselves and to other cells.
Electrolytes are loss through sweat particulary in the form of sodium and
potassium. Excessive sweating in summer causes weakness due to loss of
electroytes. Electrolytes must be replaces to keep their concentration in body
fluids constant.
