Apoptosis

 


APOPTOSIS 

*Apoptosis is the pathway of genetically intra cellular programmed cell death (cell suicide) in which unwanted host cells are eliminated  by activation of intrinsic enzymes that degrade cell’s own DNA,Nuclear &cytoplasmic proteins

* Apoptosis always present physiologic & pathological condition.

*absence of survival factor /Absence of getting signal to cell;so cell size is decrease and containing apoptic bodies.

*In apoptosis no inflammation is present.

Causes of apoptosis:-

Apoptosis always present in pathological & physiological situations.

Apoptosis in physiologic situation

1)    Development of embryogenesis :-

·         During embryo which includes implantation, organogenesis, metamorphosis etc.

·         during all these stage of development ;lots of cells are known unneeded, and they die via apoptosis in programmed manner.

 2)Harmone- dependent apoptosis tissue:-

Eg- When mother stopped breast feeding to her child.then lactin harmone reduces the breast size and return back to their normal previous size that occur by apoptosis.

 3)Cell population:-

Apoptosis is the very common phenomena in multicellular organism. When the number of cell is very high then apoptosis occuring and reducing the no. of cells and maintain it.

Eg- replacement proliferation such as in intestinal epithelium

4)   Elimination of blood cells after they have performed their role during their life span.

5)   loss of immature B& T cells in the bone marrow and thymus by clonal deletion & cytotoxicity

Apoptosis in pathologic situation

1)    Damage  to host cell DNA:-

Eg-  Chemotherapy in treatment of cancer irradiation by therpy performed mild thermal injury or Hypoxia.

2)    Endoplasmic stress:-

It’s due to accumulation of large excess of misfolded pattern formed by free redical injury or from mutations

3)    Certain viral Infection:-

Exp- council man bodies in viral hepatitis,

Progressive depletion of CD4 + T cells in HIV infection.

Cell death by cytotoxic T cell in transplant refection reaction

Introduction to cell injury and it's Causes

 Introduction to cell injury and it's Causes. Definition of cell injury- Cell injury defined as the effect of a variety of stress due to etiological agents a cell encounters resulting in change in its internal and external environmental. ↬ cells actively interact with their environment, constantly adjusting their structure and function to accommodate/ adopt changing demands and extracellular stresses. where as stress means increase work load in heart.  ↬ Intracellular substance of the cells is normally tightly regulated such as Homeostasis ↬ As cells encounter physiologic stresses or potentially injurious conditions(such as nutrient deprivation) ↬ when body cell are exposed to antigen then they have inbuilt mechanism to deal with change in environment or adaptation but cellular injury occurs when a stress exceeds the cells can not ability to adopt. Cellular adaptation- The cells of our body they have the power or capacity to a response to stressful by changin...

एक सफल आयुर्वेद चिकित्सक के लक्षण

  एक सफल अयुर्वेद चिकित्सक के लक्षण- जब मै B.A.M.S.  की पढ़ाई कर रहा था, तो उस समय मै  कई  चीजों को लेकर प्रायः भ्रमित रहता था। बीएएमएस का प्रथम सत्र अत्यन्त बोझिल एवं नान क्लीनिकल होने के कारण विज्ञान के विद्यार्थियों के लिये बहुत भारी गुजरता है। इससे निराश होकर बहुत से विद्यार्थी आयुर्वेद चिकित्सक बनने का विचार त्याग कर अन्य क्षेत्रों में ही कैरियर बनाने के लिये जा चुके होते हैं। त्रुटिपूर्ण व्यवस्था एवं अपने बोझिल पाठ्यक्रम के कारण आयुर्वेद प्रतिवर्ष अनेक प्रतिभायें खोता जा रहा है। एक ओर एलोपैथ की सीमायें और दुष्प्रभावों से पीड़ित दुनिया भर का रोगी आयुर्वेद की ओर आशा भरी निगाहों से देख रहा है, वहीं दूसरी ओर ही आज का युवा और आयुर्वेद शिक्षित चिकित्सक आयुर्वेद से दूर भाग रहा है।  मेरा मनना है कि मात्र 100 लोग भी प्रेरित होकर आयुर्वेद चिकित्सा के प्रति गम्भीर हो सके तो विश्वास करें, कि ये 100 चिकित्सक ही आयुर्वेद को भारत में ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरे विश्व में एक नई दिशा दे सकते हैं। ये नियम इतने सरल और सहज हैं कि इनका पालन करना कोई कठिन कार्य नहीं है और इनका ...

Oedema

  Definition of brief description    of Edema ,Shock ,Haemorrage Embolism ,Ischemia & Infarction:- Oedema :- Excess fluid in the body tissue (extra vascularly ) means (excess fluid in the body either inside the cells which is intracellular edema either or in the interstitium in the body cavity which is called extra cellular edema .                                                  Or Edema is defined as abnormal & excessive accumulation of “free fluid” in interstitial tissue space and serous cavities. Free fluid in interstitial fluid- ·           It is also called tissue space ·           Its surrounded by tissue cells ·    ...
