@maryam2009, thank you. I got it now. Does it work through metalloproteases?

hey lovetest plz try to give explanation..
10-- Pathogenesis Intrinsic defect with predominantly intravascular hemolysis Mild component of extravascular hemolysis Decreased synthesis of NADPH and glutathione (GSH) in the pentose phosphate pathway GSH normally neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, an oxidant product in RBC metabolism. In G6PD deficiency, peroxide oxidizes Hb, which precipitates in the form of Heinz bodies. Heinz bodies damage the RBC membranes causing intravascular hemolysis. Heinz bodies removed from RBC membranes by splenic macrophages produce bite cells. Half-life of G6PD in the Mediterranean variant is markedly reduced. Produces a severe, chronic hemolytic anemia Half-life of G6PD in the black American variant is moderately reduced. Episodic type of hemolytic anemia after exposure to oxidant stresses. Oxidant stresses inducing hemolysis Infection (most common) Drugs Examples-primaquine, chloroquine, dapsone, sulfonamides Fava beans (mainly in Mediterranean variant) Clinical findings Sudden onset of back pain with hemoglobinuria 2 to 3 days after an oxidant stress Laboratory findings Normocytic anemia Heinz bodies Identified with a supravital stain Best screen during active hemolysis RBC enzyme analysis Confirmatory test after hemolysis has subsided Peripheral blood findings Bite cells (macrophage removal of membrane) http://www.lezen.com.tw/img/img1_detail.asp?ID=1

9.D,
the patient has a cirrhosis--->portal HTN-->ascitis---->venous return to right heart is decreased---->decrease in MAP--->activation of RAAS, retention of Na and H2O, secondary hyperaldosteronism.

11-GG
when drug X and Y combined the number of bacteria killed is increased from 4--to almost 2 Expla -Amipicillin decreases cell wall synthesis or breaks cell membrane which allows more tobramycing to enter the cell and increase in number of cell death.. |
