You are seeking a new anti-inflammatory drug to inhibit local responses to stress and injury. Which of the following activities would you look for in a potential anti-inflammatory agent? A It should function as a dominant-negative receptor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. It should be an agonist of a pro-inflammatory cytokine. C It should compete with the pro-inflammatory cytokine for the binding to its receptor. D It should function as a constitutively active receptor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. E It should facilitate the production of second messengers in response to a pro-inflammatory cytokine.

Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. All but one of the following occurs during the inflammatory response. Select the example below that does NOT describe the process of inflammation. a. Inflammation increases capillary permeability. b. Chemotaxis draws leucocytes to the site of injury. c. Vasoconstriction prevents excessive blood loss due to injury. d. Release of prostaglandins results in pain.
During the chemotaxis phase of the inflammatory response,a. C-reactive protein is secreted by damaged parenchymal cells in the tissue, which attracts neutrophils, which secrete leukotrienes and prostaglandins to attract macrophages; a purulent exudate is formed.b. Band cells respond to hyperthermia by producing TNF-α and interleukins, which then cause a left shift that results in the accumulation of neutrophils within the tissue.c. Damaged parenchymal cells release prostaglandins and leukotrienes to attract macrophages, causing a left shift and the formation of a purulent exudate.d. Cytokines, such as TNF-α, are released by damaged parenchymal cells, while leukotrienes and prostaglandins produced by neutrophils cause smooth muscle constriction and the further accumulation of leukocytes.
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. Which of the following examples below describes an autoimmune disease? a. Infection and death of T helper cells by a virus, resulting in a loss of adaptive immunity b. Release of bacterial endotoxins that block acetylcholine release result in muscle paralysis. c. Antibody binding to acetylcholine receptors of the motor end plate resulting in muscle weakness. d. Uncontrolled cell division resulting in cell surface abnormalities recognized by NK cells.

The drug undergoes an absorption phase until it reaches the blood circulationD. the drug passes through the bloodstream in the processE. The drug is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract
The drug Celebrex selectively inhibits PTGS2 while aspirin and other NSAID’s inhibit both PTGS1 and PTGS2 in the same way. Why do you think researchers wanted to discover a selective inhibitor to PTGS2?
When surface barriers protecting the body are breached, the second line of defense (of the innate immune system) is activated. These internal defenses include inflammation and phagocytosis amongst other quick responses. Briefly explain acute inflammation in terms of vascular and cellular events. Use your understanding of blood vessels (smooth muscle and endothelial cells), chemical signalling and the interstitial space to help explain the four signs of inflammation - heat, redness, pain and swelling.
In some viral infections, interferons, which are hydrophilic, are secreted by some white blood cells. These bind nearby cells causing uninfected cells to produce protective antiviral proteins. Based on this information, what type of signaling molecule are interferons? - Autocrine - Hormonal - Neural - Paracrine - Neurohormone
Conotoxin is produced by marine cone snails. Among its effects is to block voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in n eurons. A. What anatomical part of a neuron would be affected by conotoxin? B. How would the neuron's action potential be affected by conotoxin? Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis C. If conotoxin affected a somatic motor neuron, would this toxin cause muscle weakness or increased muscle tension? Explain why.
As an aspiring pharmacist, what is your view on the use of pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs? Are they necessary or they are just a waste of money?
example of endogenous substances that mediate or transmit noceiptive signaling include. A. substance P, CGRP, bradykinin B.substance P, CGRP,enkaphin C. morphine, substance P, bradykhin D.endorphins, substance P, CGRP
In the laboratory you observe that IL-4 stimulates the proliferation of B cells, cytotoxic T cells and mast cells. In this case the effect of IL-4 can be described as: a. Antagonism b. Synergy c. Redundancy d. Pleiotropy
1. Researchers incubated J3’s in the absence of Unknown Factor X. Upon the addition of a membrane-permeant cGMP agonist (a cGMP agonist able to penetrate into the J3’s) you would expect to see STIMULATION/INHIBITION (highlight one) of the J3 activation pathway.2. Researchers incubated J3’s in the presence of Unknown Factor X, but with the addition of a membrane-permeant CYP antagonist. In this case, you would expect to see STIMULATION/INHIBITION (highlight one) of the J3 activation pathway.
