    -Inhibit osteoblastic activity (suppression expression)
    Alcohol
    -direct inhibitor of osteoblast, may inhibit calcium absorption
  2. Gastrointestinal

Q

Rickets-children
Pathology
Symptoms
Treatment

A

Excess unmineralized bone-growing bones

  • growth plate not adequately mineralized
  • osteoclasts do not resorb growth plate cartilage
  • growth plate irregular, thickened, lobulated
  • loss of structural rigidity of bones

Symptoms :

  1. Bowing of legs
  2. Rachitic Rosary-osteoid deposition at the costochondral junction
  3. Pigeon Breast Deformity-inward bending of ribs with anterior protrusion of the sternum
  4. Occipital bones flattened
  5. Parietal bones buckled
  6. Frontal bossing (enlarged forehead)/squared appearance of head

How common:
very common!

Treatment:
vitamin D

Q

Hyperparathyroidism are causes of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism?

A

Increased parathyroid hormone level
Primary: Adenoma, Hyperplasia, Carcinoma
Secondary: Prolonged hypocalcemia stimulates PTH hypersecretion

Q

Hyperparathyroidism results in increased PTH what does this do?
What are the symptoms

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. sensed by osteoblast receptors
  2. release mediators of osteoclastogenesis
  3. increased osteoclast activity
  4. bone resorption
  5. decreased bone mass
  6. pain
  7. fractures-stress fractures
17
Q

How does this hyperparathyroidism appear histologically?

Study These Flashcards
A

dissecting osteitis

railroad tracks

18
Q

What type of tumor can hyperparathyroidism lead to?

19
Q

What is osteitis fibrosa cystica?

Study These Flashcards
A

hyperparathyroidism

-bone replaced with fibrous tissue and cystic change

20
Q

Paget’s disease
Etiology
Histology

Study These Flashcards
A

Disease caused by osteoclast dysfunction

  • characterized by excessive breakdown of bone tissue followed by abnormal bone formation
  • affecting MEN 2:1
  • mid adulthood
  • axial skeleton, proximal femur involved up to 80% of patients

Etiology:

  1. slow virus infection
    - Paramyxovirus (remains hypothesis)
    - Induces IL6 secretion, increased RANK expression
    - stimulates osteoclast activity
  2. Genetic
    - gene mutation leading RNK mediated osteoclast stimulation
    - Mutations in RANKL and RANK/OPG

Histology:
1. mosaic pattern of bone -prominent cement lines

21
Q

What are the three stages of Paget Disease?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Osteolytic (osteoclasts)
  2. Osteolytic-osteoblastic (mixed osteoclasts + osteoblasts)

Q

HOw do you diagnosis it?WHat are the labs in paget’s disease f

Study These Flashcards
A

Diagnosis:
radiographs-bone scan-increased osteoblast activity

Labs:
elevated serum alkaline phosphatase
-serum calcium , phosphorus unaffected

25
What is the treatment of paget disease?
Acetaminophen Nsaids Bisphosphonates- (induce apoptosis of osteoclasts) Calcitonin-(inhibits osteoclast function)
26
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Defect Symptoms Goals of treatmetn
brittle bone disease Defect in extracellular structural protein -type 1 collagen (mutation for the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of the collagen molecule) Symptoms: 1. Too little bone 2. Hearing loss 3. Dental imperfection (blue yellow-teeth) 4. blue sclera Treatment 1. maximize mobility/function 2. minimize fracture risk 3. pain control 4. psychosocial
27
What are the types of osteogenesis imperfecta?
``` Type 1-mildest form -autosomal dominant Type 2-lethal, perinatal disease -autosomal recessive Type 3- progressive, most severely deforming type -usually autosomal dominant Type 4-similar to type 1 (normal sclerae) -autosomal dominant ```
28
Achondroplasia
- Most common disease of growth plate - --Dwarfism - Autosomal dominant - 80% new mutations - failure of longitudinal bone growth (endochondral ossification)-short limbs - membranous ossification not affected-large head Defect in signal transduction system-Mutation in FGF receptor 3 1. Activating mutation of FGFR3 - FGFR3 normally inhibits cartilage proliferation 2. constant activation 3. Inhibits chondrocyte differentiation and proliferation 4. Retards growth plate development
29
Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis)
bone death (infarction) -bone and bone marrow Gross: subchondral wedge shaped pale yellow area Histology:dead bone-empty lacunae Pathogenesis: Ischemia-Mechanical, corticosteroids, thrombosis/embolism, vessel injury(vasculitis, radiation), vascular compression Etiology: trauma, corticosteroids, infection dysbarism, radiation therapy, connective tissue disorders, sickle cell anemia, tumors, pregnancy, gaucher disease, idiopathic
30
What causes osteonecrosis of the Jaw?
high dose IV disphosphonates Predisposing factors: dental disease, dental surgery, periodontitis, poor dental hygiene, treatment with chemo or corticosteroids
