c. Peutz-Jeghers polyposis

(1) Autosomal dominant

(2) Polyps predominate in the small bowel; less common in stomach and colon

MN: Peutz-Jeghers polyposis: predominance of small intestine polyps

In Anderson’s textbook of Pathology and Sabiston’s Surgery, Peutz-Jeghers polyps are listed as hamartomas, because they are a non-neoplastic overgrowth of normal tissue. In all the major texts, the small intestine is listed as the most common site for the polyps. They are less common in stomach and colon. Key point is that it is the only hereditary polyposis syndrome with polyps more common in the small intestine than the colon.

Juvenile polyps are listed as hamartomatous polyps in Anderson’s Pathology and Morson Gastrointestinal Pathology. They are sometimes called retention polyps.

Hyperplastic polyps are non-neoplastic polyps that some purists consider hamartomas and others a type of metaplasia, with mucosa resembling small bowel. The key point is that they are non-neoplastic and do not transform into cancer.

Renal

Page 396

Table 19-1
See the Attached Doc for the Table

I moved the causes of glomerular proteinuria to line-up with nephritic and nephrotic. The original table was not intended to match up the cause of glomerular proteinuria with an example of a nephritic syndrome and nephrotic syndrome. Because this has caused confusion, I changed diffuse membranous glomerulopathy, the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults, to post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis and lined this up with nephritic syndrome and minimal change disease, the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children, with nephrotic syndrome. In the original table, it looked like I was implying that minimal change disease was an example of glomerular injury in the nephritic syndrome, which is of course, incorrect.


Page 395

B. Serum creatinine

2. Creatinine is filtered in the kidneys and not reabsorbed or secreted

This sentence is a generality and is true at the normal concentration of creatinine. It was not part of a discussion of renal failure or of variations of creatinine in emaciated individuals versus muscular people or the effect of drugs on the measurement of serum creatinine. It is true that at high serum levels of creatinine, some is secreted into the urine, so it overestimates the creatinine clearance in renal failure; however, many other tests help corroborate the severity of the renal failure like serum calcium, phosphorus, BUN, and electrolytes showing hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. However, irrespective of this, the creatinine clearance is a more practical and cost effective test even though it is not a perfect clearance substance like inulin.

3. Prolactin

a. Prolactin enhances testosterone function and spermatogenesis.

A number of articles discuss the important role that prolactin normally has in promoting the function of the testis and accessory structures. Prolactin receptors are present in the Leydig cells, differentiating germ cells in the seminiferous tubules, and all of the accessory structures. Specifically, in the Leydig cells, prolactin is important in inducing and maintaining LH receptors; which enhances testosterone function. It also directly has an effect on enhancing spermatogenesis. When prolactin is increased, it shuts off GnRH; which, in turn, decreases testosterone production (LH effect) and spermatogenesis (FSH) effect.

2. Role of beta-amyloid (Abeta) protein

b. Defects in degradation of APP by secretases cause an increase in Abeta

(1) Alpha-secretases cleave APP into fragments that cannot produce Abeta

(2) Beta and gamma-secretases cleave APP into fragments that are converted to Abeta.

Beta secretases first must cleave (“clip”) the APP and then subsequent cleavage by gamma secretases produces Abeta, which forms amyloid that is neurotoxic.

Coronal section (B) shows (leave out dilated lateral ventricle and) atrophy of the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus when compared with a normal coronal section (A).

QUESTION 10 (Page 652 has question, page 657 has discussion)



A 9-month-old girl has an infection on her face that began as erythematous macules. She later develops pustules that rupture and cause honey-colored crusted lesions. The girl's 5-year-old brother develops similar lesions. Which of the following is the causal agent?

A. Staphylococcus aureus

B. Herpes simplex virus type 1

C. Malassezia furfur

D. Propionibacterium acnes

E. Trichophyton rubrum



A (Staphylococcus aureus) is correct. The child has impetigo, which causes honey-colored crusted lesions that cover shallow ulcerations of the skin. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of this superficial skin lesion. Streptococcus pyogenes is the second most common cause of impetigo. Impetigo is highly contagious, which explains why the child's brother develops similar lesions.

B (herpes simplex virus type 1) is incorrect. Herpes simplex virus type 1 produces vesicles and pustules on the vermilion border of the lip. It does not produce honey-colored crusted lesions on the face.

C (Malassezia furfur) is incorrect. M. furfur, a superficial dermatophyte, causes tinea versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff). It does not produce honey-colored crusted lesions on the face.

D (Propionibacterium acnes) is incorrect. P. acnes is an anaerobe involved in producing the inflammatory reaction associated with acne vulgaris. It does not produce honey-colored crusted lesions on the face.

E (Trichophyton rubrum) is incorrect. T. rubrum, a superficial dermatophyte, causes tinea corporis (body), tinea cruris (groin), and tinea pedis (foot). It does not produce honey-colored crusted lesions on the face.

Hi folks, Just wanted to add a new correction to the Goljan Notes of Systemic Pathology :

Respiratory System, Page 79 of my notes

Causes of an increased A-a gradient..



It's written Ventilation without perfusion produces intrapulmonary shunting eg. Atelectasis.

It should be - Perfusion without Ventilation (ventilation problem)
produces intrapulm shunts and eg is atelectasis, Giving 100% Oxygen
won't help raise the PaO2.



Pg 80 - It's written Perfusion without Ventilation produces increased
Dead Space eg. Pulmonary Embolus. Giving 100% oxygen does increase PaO2
since normally ventilated lung can make up the difference.



CORRECTION - It should be :

Ventilation without Perfusion (Perfusion problem) ... the rest is the same .



Goljan's book ( Pathology Review) doesn't contain the mistakes. You can re check it there too - Pg 133 of 2004 edition.



Hope this helps !
