Serotonin, also called 5-hydroxytryptamine, is synthesized and stored at several sites in the body. It can be found in the intestinal mucosa, central nervous system and in platelets. Serotonin is synthesized from tryptophan, which is hydroxylated. The product, 5-hydroxytryptophan is decarboxylated to serotonin, which is also degraded by monoamine oxidase (MAO). Serotonin has multiple physiologic roles, including pain perception, affective disorders, and regulation of sleep, temperature and blood pressure.
3-hydroxyanthranilic acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of tryptophan.

Examination of a patient suffering from frequent haemorrhages in the inner organs and mucous membranes revealed proline and lysine being included in collagen fibers. Impairment of their hydroxylation is caused by lack of the following vitamin:
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.

A patient has difficulties with hand movement. Examination revealed inflammation of common synovial sheath of flexor muscles. It is known from the patient’s anamnesis that he got a stab wound of finger a week ago. Which finger was most probably damaged?
Explanation
There are nine flexor tendons in the carpal tunnel. The flexor tendons of the fingers, the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), are arranged in the carpal tunnel, superficial and deep respectively and continue distally in pairs to each finger except the thumb. They are invested by a common tendon sheath that starts proximal to the carpal tunnel and extends to within 5mm of the insertion of the profundus tendon on the distal phalanx. A separate ulnar bursa envelops the flexor tendons of the little finger (digiti minimus). The other tendon in the carpal tunnel is the flexor tendon of the thumb, flexor pollicis longus, which has a separate synovial covering the radial bursa. There is a gap between ulnar bursa and the synovial sheaths of the index, long (digiti medius), and ring (digiti anularis) fingers in the distal palm of the hand, therefore inflammation cannot spread to this 3 fingers directly from the common synovial sheath.
The flexor pollicis longus is surrounded by the radial bursa, which extends distally. The other flexor tendons are surrounded by the ulnar bursa, which extends to the little finger (digiti minimus). Note the gap between this bursa and the synovial sheaths of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. The little finger will most probably be damaged.

The Mantoux skin test should be read between 48 and 72hrs after administration. The basis of reading is the presence or absence of induration, which may be determined by inspection and by palpation. A record should also be made of formation of vesicles, bullae, lymphangitis, ulceration and necrosis at the test site. The formation of vesicles, bullae or necrosis at the test site indicates positive result. A negative mantoux result usually signifies that the individual has never been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis i.e. absence of cell mediated immunity to tuberculin.
Mantoux test is a type IV Hypersensitivity reaction (HSR), which involves macrophages,T-lymphocytes and lymphokines(cytokines). Mononuclear cells (lymphocytes,monocytes,macrophages).
Remember,it is antibody independent (i.e does not involve antibodies).

Examination of a pregnant woman revealed twice as much concentration of fibrinogen in blood plasma. What ESR can this woman have?
Explanation
Normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): men: 2 – 10mm/h
Women: 2 – 15mm/h
Products of inflammation (e.g. fibrinogen) coat RBCs and cause aggregation. The denser RBC aggregates, fall at a faster rate within a pipette tube. Therefore, an increase in fibrinogen (2x increase) should produce a proportional increase in ESR.
40 – 50mm/h is the only option higher than the normal range.
↑ESR: most anemias, infections, inflammation (e.g. temporal arteritis), cancer (e.g. multiple myeloma), pregnancy, autoimmune disorders (e.g. SLE)
↓ESR: sickle cell anemia (altered shape), polycythemia (↑RBCs “dilute” aggregation factors), microcytosis, hypofibrinogenemia

A 47 year old man with myocardium infarction was admitted to the cardiological department. What changes of cellular composition of peripheral blood are induced by necrotic changes in the myocardium?
Explanation
Necrosis can initiate or induce an inflammatory reaction.
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.

A patient was admitted to the infectious department. His symptoms: dry skin, decreased skin turgor, rice-water stool. The patient was diagnosed with cholera. What disorder of water-electrolytic balance is most often observed in this disease?
Explanation
Isoosmolar hypohydration (isoosmotic loss): proportional volume decrease of fluids and electrolytes e.g. in blood loss, burns, diuretic therapy, especially diarrhea in cholera.
Hypoosmolar hypohydration (salt deficit) develops due to diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, adrenal insufficiency, hypokalemia, CNS lesions, salt-losing nephritis.
Hyperosmolar hypohydration (water defcit) develops due to the loss of the fluid which lacks electrolytes e.g. in diabetes insipidus, hyperventilation.
Hypoosmolar hyperhydration (water excess) develops in acute renal failure (in the stage of anuria), Parhon’s syndrome (syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion –SIADH).
Hyperosmolar hyperhydration (salt excess) develops rarely e.g. in drinking salt (sea) water, infusion of hypertonic saline, adrenal hyperactivity or steroid therapy.
