HY USMLE Q #438 – Biochemistry / Pediatrics — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00how's it going guys very easy question
- 0:01for biochemistry for step one and for
- 0:03pediatrics for 2ck uh you will
- 0:06occasionally get questions that are very
- 0:07molecular uh when we talk about some of
- 0:10the pediatric disorders okay this is one
- 0:12of the highest yield diseases on nvme
- 0:14it's not my opinion it's a matter of
- 0:16what shows up repeatedly so i'll tell
- 0:18you exactly what you need to know not
- 0:19waste your time before we get started
- 0:20please subscribe my channel i really
- 0:21appreciate it give the video like really
- 0:23appreciate it find me on instagram at
- 0:24melbourne underscore medical
- 0:25m-e-h-l-m-a-n-underscore medical the
- 0:27link is down below find me on telegram
- 0:29recently created telegram grouping
- 0:30channel links are down below and i'll
- 0:31start the clip four-year-old boy he has
- 0:34coarse facial features joint
- 0:35contractures hepatomegaly molecular
- 0:38analysis determines an inability to
- 0:40phosphorylate the sixth position on
- 0:41mannose question wants to know the most
- 0:43likely diagnosis we have our answer
- 0:44choices so let's just walk through the
- 0:47the answers here choice a cherry red
- 0:49spot in the macula
- 0:50wrong answer this refers to both tay
- 0:53sach and neiman pick classically
- 0:55uh t tay sack is going to be
- 0:58uh visual loss in
- 1:01a young child its deficiency of
- 1:03hexosaminidase a and a buildup of gm2
- 1:06ganglioside okay it's like wow fancy
- 1:09sounding uh
- 1:11the yieldness is not exceptional okay
- 1:14when you
- 1:15are reading about the lysosomal storage
- 1:16diseases you're trying to memorize a big
- 1:18chart i can tell you that
- 1:20the yieldness is very very low and now
- 1:22that the step one has gone to pass fail
- 1:25pretty much a waste of time apart from
- 1:28this one question which i i will further
- 1:30discuss here but
- 1:32uh taysac hexosaminidase a deficiency
- 1:35buildup of gm2 ganglioside and neiman
- 1:38pick a deficiency of spinal myelinase a
- 1:40buildup of sphingomyelin they're both
- 1:42cherry red spot on the macula that you
- 1:43can get
- 1:44and
- 1:45neiman pick will have hepatomegaly tay
- 1:48sac will not once again they're low
- 1:50yield we could spend more time chatting
- 1:51about them but i'm not going to waste
- 1:53your [ __ ] time okay it's not a
- 1:54numerical step one anymore
- 1:56choice b deficiency of myophosphorylates
- 1:58wrong answer this is a glycogen storage
- 2:00disease this is mcardle syndrome okay so
- 2:02myophosphorylase aka muscle glycogen
- 2:04phosphorylase this is of yieldness worth
- 2:08knowing okay so this is going to be a
- 2:10young adult generally who has severe
- 2:13cramping with exercise
- 2:16and this can lead to rhabdo okay with
- 2:18myoglobin area that's mcardle syndrome
- 2:20okay not not difficult okay just 21 year
- 2:23old he's he went sprinting he gets
- 2:25really bad muscle cramps and they say
- 2:26what's the deficient enzyme it's just
- 2:28myophosphorylase or glycogen uh or
- 2:31muscle glycogen phosphorylase okay
- 2:33glycogen storage these type 5 and
- 2:35carlson
- 2:36should i see violation of rough
- 2:38endoplasmic reticulum wrong answer
- 2:40however i threw this in here because
- 2:43uh this is seen on one of the
- 2:46step one offline nvme exams where they
- 2:49just simply ask you
- 2:50if
- 2:51proteins cannot be sent from the rer to
- 2:55the golgi
- 2:57for processing what would be seen in the
- 3:00cell
- 3:01and the answer is just dilation of the
- 3:02rer i mean it doesn't there's there's
- 3:04nothing complicated about that thought
- 3:06process okay if something can't be sent
- 3:08out of the rear of the golgi well what's
- 3:10gonna happen the rer could theoretically
- 3:12dilate okay
- 3:14not my [ __ ] opinion but it shows up
- 3:16on one of the forms and students get
- 3:18this wrong okay so i'm just i'm just
- 3:20mentioning it
- 3:21choice d increased serum enzyme levels
- 3:23is the correct answer very very high
- 3:25yield this is eye cell disease okay so
- 3:28when i saw this presentation very very
- 3:30buzzy very classic horse facial features
- 3:33joint contractures hepatomegaly
- 3:36now this condition
- 3:37we have
- 3:38lysosomal enzymes that are that are at
- 3:41the golgi apparatus for processing okay
- 3:44so when when proteins are synthesized
- 3:46it's at the rough endoplasmic reticulum
- 3:48they then go to the golgi where they're
- 3:50modified and then when they're at the
- 3:52golgi they can then be shuttled to
- 3:53various locations so you have their
- 3:55recently synthesized modified lysosomal
- 3:59enzymes that are still at the golgi and
- 4:01now they have to get sent to the
- 4:02lysosomes for storage all right and the
- 4:05way this
- 4:08what am i going to do restart the whole
- 4:09[ __ ] clip now that i coughed i mean i
- 4:11could but i'm just going to continue
- 4:12with the clip here so
- 4:15you have the recently synthesized
- 4:17modified
- 4:18lysol enzymes at the golgi apparatus and
- 4:20they have to be sent to the lysosomes
- 4:22for storage and the way the cell does
- 4:24this for whatever [ __ ] reason it
- 4:26occurs via a molecule known as mannose
- 4:296-phosphate
- 4:31so
- 4:32if we can't phosphorylate the 6-position
- 4:34of mannose we can't make
- 4:35mannose-6-phosphate and we therefore
- 4:37can't send the lysol enzymes from the
- 4:40golgi
- 4:41to the lysosomes so that in and of
- 4:43itself that mechanism is very high yield
- 4:45if they say
- 4:46uh if they give you this spin yet and
- 4:48they say where is the location for the
- 4:51defective enzyme process the answer is
- 4:54the golgi because it's occurring at the
- 4:55golgi what i just said but if they say
- 4:58enzymes cannot be sent where the answer
- 5:02is the lysosome because they can't get
- 5:03sent there so the enzymes end up in the
- 5:06cytosol slash
- 5:09the serum instead and they can give you
- 5:11a similar presentation and just say
- 5:13uh laboratory studies show increased
- 5:16serum levels of and then they list four
- 5:18obscure sounding lysosomal enzymes
- 5:20and you just need to know well that's
- 5:23eye cell disease
- 5:24because in that condition you're going
- 5:26to get high lysosomal enzymes in the
- 5:28serum and in the cell okay and the
- 5:30cytoplasm it's it's a high yield point
- 5:32you need to know
- 5:33so
- 5:35choice e misfolded protein retaining the
- 5:37rer wrong answer this is cystic fibrosis
- 5:40okay
- 5:40so
- 5:41uh cftr channel chloride channel it
- 5:44should be on the cell surface
- 5:46but
- 5:47because of oftentimes
- 5:49missense mutation delta f508 oftentimes
- 5:54uh when we have the misfolded protein it
- 5:56just gets retained in the cytoplasm
- 5:58slash rer and they want you to know that
- 6:00that's what you're going to see
- 6:02on
- 6:03electron microscopy students get this
- 6:05wrong frequently they say what do you
- 6:07see on electromicroscopy and cf a
- 6:09student will say
- 6:10uh abnormally folded uh channel on the
- 6:13cell surface it's wrong answer because
- 6:16it's not gonna it's not gonna make it to
- 6:17the cell surface okay so it's going to
- 6:19be uh sequestered in the rough
- 6:21endoplasmic reticulum
- 6:23you know the deal i'm going to continue
- 6:24to make more content if you like my
- 6:25stuff subscribe my channel and i
- 6:27appreciate your time that's it
