Block 1

1... zinc finger motif is a DNA binding domain for steriod receptor so A is right answer

2 McArdle disease Glycogen is there in the ms but cant be used bec. of deficievy of Glycogen phospholylase enzyme

3- Discuss

4- Tight junction are present between the cells and when they are damaged the + discussion

5- CF is AR disease ... the child with diease is homozygous for CF gene.. carrier are heterogygous for the mutation...

For the parent to produce a homozygous child they must both be carrier of the CF. discuss

6- We are transplanting gene in the bone marrow so is cant be structural gene and the probable answer could be B

7- here its cant be sarcoma becasue vimentin antibodies reaction are negative... only clue is keratin antibodies as in

squamous cell ca there is keratin pearls so E seem to be right

8 BE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM so its better to get more info rather going to fast...........

9-He is without food from the last one week... note he consumed his food in the first two weeks. A is wrong as no diet

is there hepatic glycogen store are for the first few hours.skeletal muscle glycogen cant be used because of abscence of

glucose 6 phosphatase enzyme in muscle D is the correct answer .. muscle protein are being used by the

gluconeogenesis process urea nitrogen cant help

10- D is the correct 11-Bleomycin causes pulmonary fibrosis mean a restrictive lung disease in restrictive lung diease

either there is increase in FEV1/FVC ratio or there is no change in it..... total lung volume decrease as there is

restriction in filling the lungs to there capacity please add what will be the effect of diffusing capacity C is the answer

12-AZT is reverse transtriptase inhibitor so E is right

13- urease is the answer but what is the substrate of urease and what the product??

14-Broad base point to blastomycosis

15-these are sign of acute cholecystitis so E is right

16-this is acute rejection as occur after weeks of transplantations... so T lymphocyte play there role

17-need explanations

18 need explanations

19-TNF is produced in response to Endotoxin and then TNF causes release of NO which is the main mediator of

shock and hypotension

20-D dimer are specific for DIC , D dimer can only assay the cross linked fibrin monomer while FDP assay detect all

the product of plasmin cleave of fibrenogen and insloluble fibrin clots

21-H lateral corticospinal tract....what is at G position?

22-diagram is not clear any way they terminate at thalamus

23- A neostigmine inhibiot the enzyme

24- B is right DM causes accumulation of sorbitol in the schwann cell becuase of ALDOSE REDUCTASE ENZYME

which convert glucose into sorbitol and lead to osmotic damage to the shwaan cell and defective myelination of

peripheral nerve and so peripheral neuropathy..........

25-need explanations from net 26-C anti psychotic drug SE

27-what is the diagnosis?????????

28-iliopsoas

29-need net help

30-B

31-case of asthma which is an obstructive lung diseas FEV1. FVC is typically decreased and residual volume is

increased

32-superior vena cava syndrome due to small cell lung carcinoma causeing obstruction of the vena cava and so

puffiness of the face and neck

33- Patent ductus arterosis connecting aorta with left pulmonary vein

34-as we are increasing the precapillary resistance when flow will dec and the filtration will decrease .... 35-Beta 1

increase renin secretion but alpha 1 decrease renin secretion.

36...

37 J

38-Cystic fibrosis patient have short stature

39-Did you noticed that when we add the drug X we need more histamine to get the same response mean there is a

revercible competitive inhibitor there

40- its 30

41-discuss net ................

42- becuase there are bruit its mean there is atherosclerosis of the renal artery .. less blood goes to the kidney and

renin is secreted which convert Ag1 into Ag 2 and which in turn increases ald. and increase Na absortion and so HTN.

43- Oxcytocin but what is the 2nd messenger of Oxcitocin?

44-PCOS clue is decreased FSH

45-B

46-net search today

47-We know that radiation induced thyroid papillary ca is most common but can it be Laryngeal CA????

48-E but see notes

49-M blocker block secretion and so cause dry mouth ipratropium

50-the oral drugs pioglitazone and rosiglitazone can cause or exacerbate heart failure and pulmonary edema and

should be avoided in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (impaired pumping ability of the heart) or chronic

renal insufficiency.

BLOCK TWO

1-B seem to be right... when we add antibiotic resistance plasmid, we can get the colonies who are resistance to a

particular drug and can eliminate the drug that are sensitive ...

2- C seem to be right as we see that in CF there is a defect mutation and 508 codon is missing coding for

Phenylalanine amino acid .. in C only phenylalanine is shown there

3-Phenylalanine Hydroxylase deficiency leading to PTU....

4-Nondisjunction will produce either an egg with 24 chromosome or with 22 chromsomes..

5-Acute pancreatitis so enzymatic fat necrosis

6-X linked recessive disease more common in male and if female are symptomatic then its because of inactivation of

more maternal chromsome than paternal... female are homozygouys for the abnormal chromosome.

7-A

8-Unstable mood , impulsiveness.. female more than male

9-here is a point never assist the patient to die .... passively is ok but actively is not ok.... i think C seem to be right

10-D??

11-E

12-transplant patient often get CMV infection so Gancyclovir

13-A

14-CCR5 i% of US population give protection to HIV infection

15-B

16-D because IgG protect respiratory mucosa from infection 17-listen steven daughtery

18-D lack of ramdomization need explanations

26-E can any body explain?

27- Cohesion BW adjacent cells ......... and held them togethers

28-D never problem

29-G

30-what is the diagnosis

31-D seem to be right

32-what is the diagnosis?

33-C

34-During exercise the heart rate increases and when HR reach 180 it compromise the coronary blood supply .. OK

now pumping action increases the heart metabolism and increases metabolite causes coronary vasodilation..... and so

increases blood flow. Now in exercise increase work volume occur at same pressure so C seem to be right

35- Aortic pressure will be less than ventricular pressure so D seem to be right

36-D but need to check

37-Parietal cell 38-E

39-F

40-c

45-Babies Blue Normal reaction to birth

46-E

47-D need to check lab value

48-D

49-C seem to be right ... physiostigmine enter CNS , neostigmine not so when you have confusion about which enter

then think N is for NOT ..

50- C

2-D need clarification

3-Need to see YH biology notes C?

4-A action potential travel to the interior of myocyte due to T tubule

5-its X linked recessive mean only diease gene on X chromosome and if that male parent would have defective gene

on his X chromosome then he would have the disease and he dont have its mean that he is not carrier of this disease

6-B

7-need clarification from YH biology notes

8-B??

9-A not congenital because he is 70 year old

40-what is the main function of mesengial cell....

41-C

42-i think E but some says c

43-B because for outlet incontenence there is continouse voiding without a stress factor

44-5 alpha reductase convert testosterone into DHT which is necessary for the development of external ganitalia

including prostate when DHT is not formed female external feature are formed but internal male system is

developed because testosterone is required to form normal internal male struture .
