The mature central nervous system contains precursor cells in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle. In this study we examined the possibility to affect fate of precursor cells through exogenous manipulations. The results indicate that administration of thyroid hormone and retinoic acid increases the expression of Ki67, a nuclear antigen associated with cell proliferation, and of nestin, a marker protein for precursor cells in the subventricular zone of adult male rats. Moreover, retinoic acid increases polysialated-neural cell adhesion molecules (PSA-NCAM)-immunoreactivity. These data suggest that nuclear receptor ligands are potential candidates for fate determination of precursor cells in the subventricular zone also in the adult brain."

"value": "Answer: Used to make pedigree cha to show non-paternity\nExplanation: Characteristic DNA polymorphism in a family is associated with disorders [Ref: Harrison 17/e p4031 We are not able to make sense of the options, but let's see what linkage analysis is all about. At least this could help somewhat... Prepare you for the correct options or other options in the exams. The human genome is very large and contains many thousands of genes. Therefore, finding the paicular gene or genes responsible for any given human disease is very difficult. Traditionally, the search for a disease gene begins with linkage analysis. In this approach, the aim is to find out the rough location of the gene relative to another DNA sequence called a genetic marker, which has its position already known. The principle of linkage analysis: Two fundamental principles are essential for understanding the concept of linkage. 1) When two genes or alleles are close together on a chromosome, they are usually transmitted together. Thus they are said to be linked. For example, in fruit flies the genes affecting eye color and wing length are inherited together because they appear on the same chromosome. Alleles for genes on different chromosomes are usually not linked, due to independent assoment of chromosomes during meiosis. 2)Because there is some crossing over of DNA when the chromosomes segregate, even linked alleles on the same chromosome can be separated and go to different daughter cells. There is a greater probability of this happening if the alleles are far apa on the chromosome, as it is more likely that a cross-over will occur between them. The odds of crossing over, or recombinant event, between two linked genes is propoional to the distance that separates them. Thus, genes that are far apa are more likely to undergo a recombination event than genes that are very close together. Thus by working out the number of recombinants it is possible to obtain a measure for the distance between the genes. This distance is called a genetic map unit (m.u.), or a centimorgan and is defined as the distance between genes for which one product of meiosis in 100 is recombinant. A linkage map is created by finding the map distances between numbers of traits that are present on the same chromosome, ideally avoiding having significant gaps between traits to avoid the inaccuracies that will occur due to the possibility of multiple recombination events. Linkage mapping is critical for identifying the location of genes that cause genetic diseases. A linkage map is a chromosome map of a species or experimental population that shows the position of its known genes and/or markers relative to each other in terms of recombination frequency, rather than as specific physical distance along each chromosome. Polymorphism is essential for linkage studies because they provide a means to distinguish the maternal and paternal chromosomes in an individual. All chromosomes are paired, one inherited from our mother and one from our father. Each pair of chromosomes contains the same genes in the same order, but the sequences are not identical. This means it should be easy to find out whether a paicular sequence comes from our mother or father. These sequence variants are called maternal and paternal alleles. Genetic markers are DNA sequences that show polymorphism (variations in size or sequence) in the population. They are present in everyone and they can be typed (the allele can be identified) using techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction . Disease genes are mapped by measuring recombination against the panel of different markers spread over the entire genome. In most cases, recombination will occur frequently, indicating that the disease gene and marker are far apa. Some markers however, due to their proximity, will tend not to recombine with the disease gene and these are said to be linked to it. Ideally, close markers are identified that flank the disease gene and define a candidate region of the genome between 1 and 5 million bp in length. The gene responsible for the disease lies somewhere in this region. Linkage is expressed as a lod (logarithm of odds score)- the ratio of the probability that the disease and marker loci linked rather than unlinked. By convention, a lod score greater than 3.0 is considered evidence for linkage. (A score of +3.0 means the likelihood of observing the given pedigree if the two loci are not linked is less than 1 in 1000). On the other hand, a lod score less than -2.0 is considered evidence to exclude linkage. Markers that are closest to the disease gene are less likely to undergo recombination events and therefore receive a higher linkage score. Linkage analysis is possible only for familial diseases, wherein pedigree analysis of the disease is done in that family. All the family is screened for the presence of all known polymorphisms. Then the polymorphism that is present in all the affected cases is identified as the linked allele and based on the location of this polymorphism, the possible location of the disease gene can be identified."

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Answer: Membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL)\nExplanation: in PNH ,these GPI(Glycosyl Phosphatidyl Inositol) -linked proteins are deficient because of somatic mutations that inactivate PIGA.PIGA is X linked and subject to lyonisation.PNH stems from acquired mutations in gene PIGA, which is required for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol glycan (PIG), a membrane anchor that is a component of many proteins. Without the \"PIG-tail,\" these proteins cannot be expressed on the cell surface. The affected proteins include several that limit the activation of complement. As a result, PIGA-deficient precursors give rise to red cells that are inordinately sensitive to complement-mediated lysis. Leukocytes are also deficient in these protective pro- teins, but nucleated cells are generally less sensitive to com- plement than are red cells, and as a result the red cells take the brunt of the attack. The paroxysmal nocturnal hemolysis that gives the disorder its name occurs because the fixation of complement is enhanced by the slight decrease in blood pH that accompanies sleep (owing to CO2 retention). However, most patients present less dramatically with anemia due to chronic low-level hemolysis. Another complication that is often serious and sometimes fatal is venous throm- bosis. The etiopathogenesis of the prothrombotic state is somehow also related to the activity of the complement membrane attack complex, as inhibitors of this complex (described below) greatly lessen the incidence of thrombosis. Because PIGA is X-linked, normal cells have only a single active PIGA gene, mutation of which is sufficient to give rise to PIGA deficiency. Because all myeloid lineages are affected in PNH, the responsible mutations must occur in an early myeloid progenitor with self-renewal capacity. Remarkably, many normal individuals harbor small numbers of bone marrow cells bearing PIGA mutations identical to those that cause PNH. It is believed that clinically evident PNH occurs only in rare instances in which the PIGA mutant clone has a survival advantage. One setting in which this may be true is in primary bone marrow failure (aplastic anemia), which most often appears to be caused by immune-mediated destruction or suppression of marrow stem cells. It is hypoth- esized that PIGA-deficient stem cells somehow escape the immune attack and eventually replace the normal marrow elements. Targeted therapy with an antibody that inhibits the C5b-C9 membrane attack complex is effective at diminishing both the hemolysis and the thrombotic complications, but also places patients at high risk for Neisseria infections, includ- ing meningococcal sepsis.

"value": "Answer: All the three subunits alpha, beta and gamma should bind to each other for G protein to act\nExplanation: Ans. Is 'c' i.e., G proteins act as inhibitory and excitatory because of difference in alpha subunito This question is repeat from AIIMS May 08.o Ligand (hormone) binding site of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) is on the outer surface of cell membrane and G protein binding site is intracellular. G protein does not bind to hormone on the surface of cell,o G-protein has three subunits, the a, b and g subunits. For action of G-protein, only active a-subunit is required and on activation p and y subunits dissociate from a-subunit.o G-protein can acts as inhibitory as well as excitatory because of difference in alpha subunits. For example, Gas stimulates adenylyl cyclase, whereas Gai inhibits adenylyl cyclase.o GTP bind to G-protein in active state.G-protein coupled receptorso These are large family of cell membrane receptors which are linked to effector (enzyme/channel/carrier protein ) through G proteins for response effectuation. These are large heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins). All have seven transmembrane segments that loop in and out of the cell membrane, i.e., 7 a-helical membrane spanning. The hormone binding site is an extracellular domain. G-protein binding site is intracellular.o G-protein has three subunits a, b and g. In their inactive state, the a, b and g subunits of G-proteins form a complex that binds GDP on a- subunit. When the ligand (hormone) binds to the extracellular part of the receptor, a conformational change occurs in the receptor that activates the G proteins. This results in exchange of GDP by GTP on a-subunit. Displacement of GDP by GTP causes the a-subunit to dissociate from the other two subunits. The activated a-subunit carrying GTP induces intracellular signals (mechanism will be discussed later).o The signaling event is terminated when the hormone is removed and the a-subunit inactivates itself by converting its bound GTP to GDP as a-subunit has GTPase activity . Then the a-subunit once again combines with the b and gsubunits to form an inactive membrane bound trimeric G protein.o The action of active G protein may be either activation or inactivation of the effector. This is because of different a-subunits (Ga subunits).# Gas (Gs alfa) - Stimulates adenylyl cyclase and increases cAMP.# Gai (Gi alfa) - Inhibits adenylyl cyclase and decreases cAMP.# Gaq (Gq alfa) - Activates phospholipase C (PLC) which generates second messangers IP3 and DAG.# Gat (Gt alfa) - The \"t\" is for transducin, the molecule responsible for generating a signal in the rods of the retina.Mechanism of action# This activated G protein effects one of the following effect pathway (activated stimulatory G protein stimulates, or activated inhibitory- G protein inhibits) - A) Adenylyl cyclase (AC)o Activation of AC results in increased synthesis and intracellular accumulation of cAMP (by stimulatory G protein). cAMP acts through cAMP dependent Protein Kinase ' A', which phosphorylate and alters the function of many enzymes, ion channels and structural proteins. Inhibitory G protein inhibits AC and has opposite effects.o Examples - Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH (corticotropin), ADH, Vasopressin (V2 receptors), Parathormone, Catecholamines (b,a2) e.g., adrenaline (most actions), Glucagon, hCG, Calcitonin, Somatostatin, acetylcholine (M2), Dopamine (D1, D2), Angiotensin II (epithelial cells), GABAB, Histamine (H2).B) Phospholipase IP3-DAG systemo Activation of phospholipase (by stimulatory G protein) hydrolyses the membrane phospholipid phosphatidyl inositol 4, 5 bisphosphate (PIP2) to generate the second messenger inositol 1, 4, 5 - triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). IP3 mobilizes Ca+2 from intracellular organelles - increased cytosolic Ca+2. DAG enhances Protein Kinase 'c' activation by Ca+2. Ca+1 acts as third messenger in this type of transduction mechanism and mediates the physiological effects of drugs,o Example - Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH), Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), GnRh, ADH/Vasopressin (VI receptor; vasopressor action), oxytocin, cholecystokinin, PDGF, Gastrin, Catecholamines (some actions via a1, receptors), Angiotensin II (vascular smooth muscle), Substance P, Histamine - H1, muscarinic M1, M3C) Channel regulationo Activated G-proteins can open or close ion channels - Ca+, K+ or Na+.o Examples - (1) | Ca+2-b1-adrenergic, (2) -l Ca+2-Dopamine D2, GABAB, (3) | K+ -Adrenergic -a2, muscarinic M2, Dopamine D2, GABAB."

In adults with acute ITP, the platelet count is typically less than 20,000/mL. In chronic adult ITP, the platelet count varies from a few thousand to 100,000/mL. The peripheral blood smear in ITP exhibits numerous large platelets, and the bone marrow shows a compensatory increase in megakaryocytes. Acute ITP in children typically appears after a viral illness and presents with sudden onset of petechiae and purpura without other symptoms.

Confirming a diagnosis of Behcet's disease can be difficult because the symptoms are so wide-ranging and general (they can be shared with a number of other conditions)The main symptoms of Behcet's disease include: genital and mouth ulcers red, painful eyes and blurred vision acne-like spots headaches painful, stiff and swollen joints In severe cases, there's also a risk of serious and potentially life-threatening problems, such as permanent vision loss and strokes. Most people with the condition experience episodes where their symptoms are severe (flare-ups or relapses), followed by periods where the symptoms disappear (remission). Over time, some of the symptoms can settle down and become less troublesome, although they may never resolve completely.HLA-B51 (B51) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*51 gene products. B51 is a split antigen of the broad antigen B5, and is a sister serotype of B52. There are a large number of alleles within the B*51 allele group. B51 is associated with several diseases, including Behcet's disease."

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Answer: Immune reconstitution immunological syndrome\nExplanation: Ans. is 'c' i.e., Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome o The term \"immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome\" (IRIS) describes a collection of inflammatory disorders associated with paradoxical worsening of preexisting infectious processes following the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-infected individuals. Preexisting infections in individuals with IRIS may have been previously diagnosed and treated or they may be subclinical and later unmasked by the host's regained capacity to mount an inflammatory response.o If immune function improves rapidly following the commencement of HAART, systemic or local inflammatory reactions may occur at the site or sites of the preexisting infection.o This inflammatory> reaction is usually self-limited, especially if the preexisting infection is effectively treated. However, long-term sequelae and fatal outcomes may rarely occur, particularly when neurologic structures are involved.Diagnostic criteria for IRISo There is no universally agreed-upon definition for IRIS. However, it is generally accepted that the diagnosis of IRIS requires the worsening of a recognized (''paradoxical\" IRIS) or unrecognized pre-existing infection (\"unmasking\" IRIS) in the setting of improving immunologic function.Most or all of the following features should be present in order to make the diagnosis:o The presence of AIDS with a low pretreatment CD4 count (often less than 100 cells/microL). One important exception to this general rule is tuberculosis. IRIS secondary to preexisting M. tuberculosis infection may occur in individuals with CD4 counts >200.o A positive virologic and immunological response to ART.o The absence of evidence of drug-resistant infection, bacterial superinfection, drug allergy or other adverse drug reactions, patient noncompliance, or reduced drug levels due to drug-drug interactions or malabsorption after appropriate evaluation for the clinical presentation.o The presence of clinical manifestations consistent with an inflammatory condition.o A temporal association between HAART initiation and the onset of clinical features of illness.Summary and recommendationso The clinical features of each individual case of IRIS are highly variable and data from controlled trials have not been published thus far to provide clear guidelines. Our recommendations are based on clinical experience, case reports, case series, and expert opinion:# Although it is reasonable to perform studies looking for unmasked subclinical opportunistic infection, the diagnosis of IRIS is generally one of exclusion. Investigations to rule out the possibility of drug reaction, patient noncompliance, persistently active infection and/or drug resistance are usually warranted before concluding that IRIS is present.# Most patients with IRIS develop symptoms within one week to a few months after the initiation of HAART. With later onset, other diagnoses become more likely. Abacavir hypersensitivity can be confused with IRIS, but symptoms worsen soon after each dose of abacavir. The diagnostic work-up for abacavir hypersensitivity reaction includes genetic testing for HLA-B5701.# When a diagnosis of IRIS is considered highly likely, further or repeated invasive diagnostic procedures to locate an occult infection may be reasonably delayed, deferred, or altogether avoided.# Treatment for the underlying pathogen should generally be started or continued in patients who develop IRIS. This is particularly important when treating patients with IRIS associated with hepatitis B virus.# Corticosteroids or NSAIDS may help decrease the inflammatory response in some patients with IRIS. The decision to use corticosteroids should be individualized and should take into account the risks of therapy. When we choose to treat with corticosteroids, we initiate therapy with prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day (maximal dose 60 to 80 mg) and then taper steroid therapy while monitoring for recurrence of clinical symptoms over the ensuing weeks to months.# For most patients, we suggest initiation of ART within two weeks of starting treatment of the underlying opportunistic infection to decrease the risk of clinical progression of AIDS and death.# For OIs that lack proven effective therapies other than HAART (eg, PML), we believe it is best to treat these patients with HAART despite the risk of an adverse outcome. We normally do not use steroids in such patients unless or until symptoms of IRIS appear."

The tremors are coarse, intentional type, interspersed with jerky movements, initially involving hands. Later it involves lip, tongue, arms and legs. The advanced condition of tremors is called as \"Hatter's shakes\" (because the condition was first described among felt hat workers). In Hatter's shakes, the tremor becomes so severe that daily activities of person are grossly impaired such as shaving, writing, holding cup etc. As the disease progresses, the most severe form of tremor are called as \"Concussio mercurialis\" which means no activity is possible * Mercurial erethism - a classical manifestation of chronic mercury poisoning characterized by cluster of psychiatric symptoms including disturbance inpersonality, abnormal shyness, timidity, loss of self confidence, insomnia, excitability, progressing later into delirium with hallucinations (Mad as hatter). * Colitis * Melanosis coli * Mercury dermatitis - from mercuric sulphide (cinnabar) as red areas of tattoo has been repoed. * Dementia * Renal failure * Acrodynia (Pink disease):-Seen mostly in children and caused by chronic mercury exposure. It causes anorexia, insomnia, profuse sweating, skin rash, redness, vesication and desquamation (peeling) of palm, finger, sole and photophobia.The hands and feet becomes - puffy, pinkish, painful, paraesthetic, perspiring and peeling (remember 6 P's) * Shedding of teeth and ulceration of gums.

"value": "Answer: Von Hippel Lindau syndrome\nExplanation: Ans. is 'a' i.e., Neurofibromatosis 1 o Optic nerve glioma (astrocytoma) is the most common intrinsic tumor of the optic nerve. Most common type of optic nerve glioma is juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma The majority of optic nerve gliomas are of astrocytic origin. However, a few rare optic nerve gliomas arise from oligodendrocytes. 70% of optic gliomas occur during first decade of life. Optic nerve gliomas are associated with Neurofibromatosis-1 (Von Recklinghausen's disease) in 55% of cases. 75% of optic gliomas arise from optic chiasma and adjacent optic nerve. 25% are confined to optic nerve alone (orbital optic nerve glioma).o Patients present with some degree of unilateral visual dysfunction, visual field loss, afferent pupillary defect, decreased ocular motility, optic atrophy, pain headache and nystagmus. Proptosis is often the chief complaint of an orbital glioma. Nystagmus may also occur. Other late features of optic nerve glioma are neovascular glaucoma, anterior segment ischemia and hemorrhagic glaucoma from retinal vascular occlusiono In chiasmal gliomas there may be visual field defects, raised ICT, papilloedema and endocrine abnormalities like diabetes insipidus, hypopituitarism, dwarfism and precocious puberty."

Nuclear palsv affects all ipsilateral muscles of facial expression resulting in paralysis of the ipsilateral side (eg. mouth is pulled to the normal side and may droop on the affected side facial crease are effaced, eyelid may not close)."
