Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is broken down to pyruvate through a series of enzymatic reactions to generate ATP. It occurs in two phases: the preparatory phase where glucose is phosphorylated and the payoff phase where energy is generated. Glycolysis is regulated by hormones and key enzymes. The fate of pyruvate includes conversion to lactate or acetyl-CoA to feed into the TCA cycle. Gluconeogenesis and the pentose phosphate pathway are important glucose production and antioxidant pathways respectively.

This document discusses the storage lesion that occurs in red blood cells during storage. As red blood cells are stored, their metabolism continues which causes a build up of lactic acid and drop in pH. This impairs glycolysis and causes levels of ATP, 2,3-DPG, and NADH to decrease over time. Loss of 2,3-DPG affects the oxygen carrying capacity while decreased NADH increases oxidative stress. Additional changes include damage to the cell membrane from oxidation, loss of deformability, and formation of microvesicles that can reduce nitric oxide levels after transfusion. The storage lesion ultimately reduces red blood cell viability and function.

Metabolism is the network of chemical reactions that take place in living cells. It performs four main functions: obtaining energy, converting nutrients into macromolecules, assembling macromolecules, and degrading macromolecules. Metabolic pathways can be catabolic, anabolic, or amphibolic. Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate, generating a small amount of ATP. Pyruvate then undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to form acetyl-CoA, the entry point into the citric acid cycle. Diseases can impair glycolysis through deficiencies in enzymes like pyruvate kinase or disorders that cause lactic acidosis.
RBCs are biconcave disks that are 62.5% water, 35% hemoglobin, and 2.5% other substances. Their membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer and integral proteins like band-3 and glycophorins. The membrane skeleton, made of spectrin and ankyrin, maintains the biconcave shape and anchors the lipid bilayer. RBCs primarily use glucose through the Embden-Meyerhoff pathway to generate ATP for metabolism. Erythropoiesis occurs in three stages - the mesoblastic, hepatic, and medullary stages - and is influenced by hormones, nutrients, and other environmental factors.

Glycolysis is the pathway for oxidation of glucose to pyruvate. It occurs in the cytosol and consists of three phases: priming, splitting, and oxidative. In the priming phase, glucose is converted to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate using two ATP molecules. The splitting phase produces two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Oxidation of these yields two pyruvate, two NADH, and generates a net of two ATP per glucose under anaerobic conditions or 38 ATP under aerobic respiration. Key regulatory enzymes are phosphofructokinase-1 and pyruvate kinase.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

cycle, no oxidation of fatty acids or ketone bodies.
● The RBC is highly dependent upon glucose is its energy source.
● Energy in form of ATP is Obtained only from the glycolytic breakdown of glucose
with the production of Lactic acid (anaerobic glycolysis).
4. Glucose transport to RBC Membrane
Glucose is transported through RBC membrane by facilitated diffusion through
glucose transporters (GLUT1).
5. Glycolysis
Importance of Glycolysis in red cells
● Energy production : it’s the only pathway that supplies the red cell with ATP.
● Reduction of meeting methemoglobin : Glycolyses provides NADH for
reduction of methemoglobin by NADH Cytob5 reductase
● In red cells 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate binds to Hb, decreasing its affinity for
oxygen and helps its availability to tissues.

7. Utilisation of ATP
● Phosphorylation of sugars in proteins
● ATPase driven ion pumps
● Maintenance of membrane asymmetry
● Maintenance of red cell shape and deformability using ATP dependent
cytoskeleton
8. Meth haemoglobin reductase
pathway
● Maintains iron in Reduced rate for effective transport of oxygen.
● Protect SH group of haemoglobin and membrane proteins from oxidation.
10. Leubering rapoport shunt
● Binding of 2,3DPG to deoxyhaemoglobin stabilise the tense state of
haemoglobin and favours release of oxygen
● Free 2,3 DPG also binds with band 3 and causes partial detachment of
membrane from cytoskeleton allowing lateral movement of membrane
structure.
11. Pentose phosphate pathway
● Production of NADPH which is reducing power
● Glutathione is needed in reduced from for :
○ Elimination of peroxidase
○ Protection of proteins SH group
● This shunt also provide ribose 5 phosphate needed for PRPP (substrate for
adenine nucleotides required for continuing ATP synthesis)
