Having helped to eliminate consequences of a failure at a nuclear power plant, a worker got an irradiation doze of 500 roentgen. He complains of headache, nausea, dizziness. What changes in leukocytes quantity can be expected 10 hours after irradiation?
Explanation
The nuclear radiation this patient was exposed to can produce inflammatory reaction in the patient. Within the first 24hours, the first leukocyte to get into any inflammatory focus are the neutrophils, followed by the monocytes (macrophages) and then lymphocytes.
Neutrophils are the first leukocytes that cross the blood vessel wall to enter inflammatory sites. Under normal conditions, leukocytes are restricted to the center of small blood vessels, where the flow is fastest. In inflammatory sites, where the vessels are dilated, the slower blood flow allows the leukocytes to move out of the center of the blood vessel and interact with the vascular endothelium. Even in the absence of infection, monocytes migrate continuously into the tissues, where they differentiate into macrophages; meanwhile, during an inflammatory response, the induction of adhesion molecules on the endothelial cells, as well as induced changes in the adhesion molecules expressed on leukocytes recruit large numbers of circulating leukocytes, initially Neutrophils and later monocytes, into the site of an infection (inflammatory focus).
First –Neutrophils; second –monocytes and macrophages; third –lymphocytes.

Introduction of a pharmaceutical substance to an experimental animal resulted in reduction of salivation, pupil mydriasis. Next intravenous introduction of acetylcholine didn’t lead to any significant changes of heart rate. Name this substance:
Explanation
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It increases salivary secretion and stimulates intestinal secretions and motility. It increases bronchial secretions, increases tone of detrusor urinae muscle, causing expulsion of urine, stimulates ciliary muscle contraction (accommodation). It increases exocrine gland secretions (e.g. lacrimal, salivary, gastric acid); gut peristalsis, bladder contraction, bronchoconstriction, papillary sphincter muscle contraction (miosis). Poisoning by cholinomimetics causes diarrhea, urination, miosis, bronchospasm, bradycardia, excitation of skeletal muscle and central nervous system, lacrimation, sweating and salivation. Cholinomimetics are cholinergic agonists which produce analogous effects of acetylcholine.
Atropine sulfate (M-cholinoblocker) blocks the acetylcholine response, so that intravenous introduction of acetylcholine didn’t lead to any significant changes.

52. Examination of a patient with frequent
hemorrhages from internals and mucous membranes revealed proline and lysine being a part of collagen fibers. What vitamin absence caused disturbance of their hydroxylation?
Explanation
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): found in fruits and vegetables; an antioxidant; also facilitates iron absorption by reducing it to Fe2+ state. It is necessary for hydroxylation of proline and lysine in collagen synthesis; necessary for dopamine β-hydroxylase, which converts dopamine to norepinephrine. Deficiency leads to: scurvy – swollen gums, bruising, petechiae, hemarthrosis, anemia, poor wound healing, perifollicular and subperiosteal hemorrhages, “corkscrew” hair; Weakened immune response.
Type III collagen is found in blood vessels; Type IV collagen is found in basement membrane. Deficiency in Vitamin C disrupts the second stage of collagen synthesis in fibroblasts (hydroxylation of collagen) which results in petechiae, bruising, hemarthrosis.

· Extracellular small particles such as extracellular proteins, plasma membrane proteins and ligand-receptor complexes are internalized by endocytosis and receptor mediated endocytosis.
· Intracellular particles such as entire organelles, cytoplasmic proteins and other cellular components – autophagy.
