不會特化的細胞會自滅! 其餘的會經由telomere的簡短而慢慢邁向死亡
apoptosis -> proteolysis, lipid modification, nucleolysis
survival + reproduction = reproductive success of GENES! WE ARE CONTROLLED BY GENES
A 好基因傳給下一代, B 壞基因繁殖前死亡 被天擇篩選掉, C到晚年才生病,不好的基因已傳下去
antagonistic pleiotropic 基因互抗多效性 = 年輕時expression = good, 老時就不好
mutation accumulation - 環境因子破壞細胞到無法修補的狀態
Life span and Reproduction - 有限的資源導致競爭->生育causes somtatic damage
long life span = low fecundity, vice versa. Where fecundity = 生出來的小孩可長到成年繼續繁殖下一代(通常只算女性)
shorter lifespan = faster evolution
Interphase = G1 (mRNA+protein produced), S (DNA copy)+ G2 (chromosome > 2 chromatids)
Hayflick limit - normal cell can only divide a limited number of times, after that it senesces
cancer = accumulation of aneuploid cells + mutations
truly immortal cells = germ line cells
MC (Mutation accumulation) - free radicals (usually H,N,O,)= lonely electron, 好可憐 causing deletorius effect on the cells
ROS (Reactive oxygen species) - itself a free radical or causes new radical, such as *OH O2-* *NO
ROS causes mutaiton in G and T, causes lipid peroxidation
free radical is countered by antioxidant (lets ROS strip electron off of itself,
)
antioxidant such as SOD (oxidize O2-* --> H2O2 and catalase H2O2 --> water )
vitamin c and E + glutathion are also antioxidant, so EAT YOUR VEGETABLE + FRUIT
G normally pairs with C with 3 hydrogen bonds, ROS changes binding of G with A, in next transcription A binds with T.
ROS is produced from other free radicals, also by mitochondria
DNA polymerase requires RNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis
lagging strand - Primase synthesis RNA primer -> DNA polymerase GO! -> cuts, and ligase comes in
2009 Nobel prize (medicine) how chromosomes are protected by telomeres
telomere = TTAGGTTAGGTTAGGTTTAGGGTTAGG at 3' end
Telomere length = cell age marker
Dyskeratosis congenita = premature aging, 16~50
mortal <---> crisis <--> immortal
regarding cancer cells, mutation in cells cause cancer, natural apoptosis causes aging
on the cellular level, cancer cells may be immortal, but the organism as a whole dies.
INK4a de-repression causes aging
quantity Erythrocyte > platelet > leukocytes
life span leuko > erythro > platelet
hematopoesis = formation of blood cell components
fetus in liver and spleen
bone marrow: red + yellow marrow
adipogenesis in bone marrow, birth till 30, then again at 70 drastically. starting with long bone such as femur
erythrocyte - biconcave, 7.5x2 um. 120 days life span, more in male > female. testosterone stimulates production, and also no periods
essential RBC formation nutrients : folic acid (DNA), VitB12 (DNA) + Fe2+ (Hemoglobin
with aging, RBC membrane fluidity decreases
higher oxidative stress and decrease in antioxidant defense
function of spleen is blood filter --> bile and into stool. contains many platelet, important in immune system
reserves half monocyte in red pulp, antibodies in white pulp (rich in B and T cells)
monocyte = type of white blood cell. pulp = part of spleen
declining p53 function lead to senescence. apoptosis of cancer cells higher at young age.
erythropoetic aging --> environment is a major contributing factor
aging --> lose of immune function. PNAS downregulates lyphoid genes and up regulates myeloid genes.
lymphoid system: neutrophil, first line of defense by diapedeis. baso release histamine and heparin. eosinophil atks parasite...
...mono convert to macrophage, consists peroxidase. lymphocytes provides immunity.
cord blood has highest count in all cell types
cell count decrease as one ages, most apparent decrease in lymphocyte, eosinophil and basophils
T cell --> cellular immunity, B cell --> plasma cell --> humoral immunity
lymphocytes are formed in lymph nodes, bone marrow, thumus and spleen
thymic atrophy = functional cells replaced by adipose tissues
thymic output decrease as a person gets older
thymic stimulatory cytokines --> robust thymus..and thymic repressive cytokines --> atrophied thymus. IL7 and IL6 respectively
Platelets (Thrombocytes) lacks nucleus. do not change shape in age. count either normal or decrease. function varies
primary thrombocytosis aka essential thrombothemia
risk factor of venous thromboembolism -- > 40 years old. heart faulure, immobolization for 3 days. trauma. hypercoagulate state
again in cardiovascular system
every patient (no matter young or old) is unique. HETEROGENEITY
the heart, is a pump. provides the drive for blood to circulate throughout the entire organism
artery - resistance system, low volume, high pressure
vein - capacitance system, high volume, low pressure
capillaries - exchange system
coronary artery provides blood to the heart itself
heart beats as SA node provides a signal
SA- internodal pathway - AV node - bundle of his -(branches)-> left and right bundle --> purkinje fibres
e signal -> signals heart -> contraction and expansion --> pressure in vessels --> blood circulates
SA node decrease in cell # starting 20 years old. 10% left when 75
conduction system start to calsify + 纖維化
artery length increase and distorted. thickness increases, more friction and breakage of fibr-protein increase
hardening artery --> more CV disease
as with spleen, more fat and lesss specialized cells in an aged heart
aortic and mitral valves become thickened. but appears more skimpy
endothelial cells in artery are mislined. onset of high blood pressure and atherosclerosis
systole - contradtion, diastole - expansion
1. atrial systole, pushes blood into ventricles --> 2. isovolumetric contraction -->push blood (open PSV+ASV) into aorta and pulmonary trunk
4. isovolumetric relaxation, -->5 late diastole
requires 80 mmHg to opens aortic valve, but merely 8mmHg to open pulmonary valve
25% blood refills atrium at late diastole
end-diastolic volume - total volume of blood at the end of late diastole (phase 2)
stroke volume - amount of blood ejected from ventricles during systole
correction : 25% blood refills ventricles at late diastole
end- systolic volume - total volume of blood in ventricles at the end of systole
miral valvle (valve between left atrium and ventricle) seems to close slower in older people
when blood refills blood (phase 5), heart mucles/myocardium is stretched. then it contracts more forcefull. stretched elastic band hurt more
frank-starling law --> more EDV, greater volume pumped later into the aorta (Stroke Volume)
cardiac output = stroke volume x heart rate
stroke volume (SV) is regulated by four things -- 1. EDV (preload), 2. total peripheral resistance (TPR)affects after load, 3. contractility
4. ventricular size (larger heart) more EDV
afterload *unclear - wiki: afterload is used to measure the tension produced by a chamber of the heart in order to contract
Nervouse regulation: autonomic nervous system
sympathetic nervous sysmte - increase heart beat, SA node signal frequency upup, AV node transduction upup. myocardium contracts harder
parasympathetic nervous system - decrease everything above
sympathetic nervious system stimulation - norepinephrine (stress hormome, such as dopamine. binds to B1(beta-1) receptor
ATP ->cAMP activates Protein kinase (PKA), which opens the Ca2+ channel -->stimulates actin/myosin, which makes muscle contract harder
propanolol blocks B1 receptor --> thus heart beat slower. For some reason, older hearts have more blocked B1 receptors
studies also show, in addition to more blocked beta1 receptors, the quantity of betal receptors also decrease
in resting phase - CO and SV are not affected in an old heart
max heart beat : 220 - current age. this equation is applicable to 15+ years old
so max SAN heart beat = 200
WOW! SAN is so young
atrial fibrillation (心房纖維顫動) - can cause 腦中風.
baroreflex (壓力反射) - declines when you are 80 years old, often contribute to 姿勢性低血壓
adding notes to atrial fibrillation (心房纖維顫動) - can cause 腦中風. This means heart muscles do not beat together. corrected by burning SA node
refer to 醫龍3 - episode 2. 黑木
so how does 姿勢性低血壓 affect an elderly? not enough blood pressure. valves not opened. poor blood circulation --> hypoxia. anemia
Baroreceptor has carotid sinus and aortic arch. carotid body are chemoreceptors.
forgot to takes notes. dont know their importance
baroreceptor sense blood pressure --> accordingly affects 交感 and 副交感神經纖維的活性.
so if blood pressure too high --> parasympathetic activated ->lowers blood pressure. vice versa
MAP = HR x SV x TPR, where MAP is mean artery pressure. HR is heart beat rate. SV is stroke volume. TPR is resistance in blood vessels
modification of which one of HR, SV and TPR can lead to most noticeable MAP change?
baroceptor can affect HR fastest.
lying position to standing position lead to decrease in venous return due to gravity --> EDV decrease --> stroke volume decrease
circulation of blood to brain decreased --> anemia. you feel dizzy when you 蹲太久 then stand up
stroke volume decrease --> blood pressure decrease -- > baroreceptor sense low pressure --> activates sympathetic --> heart beat faster
as a person ages, systolic pressure and pulmonary pressure (脈壓) increase
diastolic pressure does not increase with over 60+ instead it declines
gene and environment affects blood pressure. city vs wilderness
healthy diet + lots of exercise = better health in 部落
artery (low volume, high pressure) function as a pressure reservoir, maintaining blood flow to tissues.
during ventricular relaxtion (phase 5)
arterial pulse = sys/dis = 120/80 during a cardiac cycle. I like simple math
pulse pressure : sys - diastolic = 120 - 80 = 40 mmHg
mean arterial pressure : dias pressure (80) + 1/3 pulse (1/3*40) = ~93
or 1/3 syst (1/3*120=40)+ 2/3 dias (2/3*80 =~50) = ~90
pulse presure too high not good for the blood vessels, eventually blood vessels thickens = more TPR = less CO
why do arteries need pressure. presure helps keep blood vessels intact (maintains shape)
systolic pressure and pulse pressure will increase with age. diastolic pressure will decline after 60 years old
blood lipips - triglycerol, phospholipid and cholesterol
creatinekinase: CK declines with age. LDH-5 also declines with age. these 2 lipid enzymes are good lab indicators of aging
total cholesterol increase, Low density lipoprotein about same, high-densit lipoprotein decrease with age
triglyceride increase with age
above changes not observed in tribal villages due to more healthy lifestyle
total cholesterol >240mg/dl very dangerous. avg asian = 200 OK
High density lipoprotein (HDL) good protein. LDL bad keep low
more 三高 = more heart problem -->arterial stiffness
blood cholesterol --> accumulation of platelets = thickenened blood vessle --> hypertention --> congestive heart failure --> stroke
atherosclerosis begins as a result of damage of endothelial cell wall. caused by hypertention, high cholesterol and diabetes
corononary artery disease (CAD) angina or chest pain. myocardial infarction MI. also 心律不整
age related changes in cardiovascular physiology - CO decrease, heart beat slower, stroke volume decrease, LV stiffness increase. EDV dcreas
endothelium progenitor cells 內皮先驅細胞 may be used to repair damaged endothelial cells
THATS ALL FOLKS
