When stem cells transforms to form cells characteristic of other tissues, the process is called as
Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, is a process in which one mature somatic cell transforms into another mature somatic cell without undergoing an intermediate pluripotent state or progenitor cell type. It is a type of metaplasia, which includes all cell fate switches, including the interconversion of stem cells. Current uses of transdifferentiation include disease modeling and drug discovery and in the future may include gene therapy and regenerative medicine The term 'transdifferentiation' was originally coined by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 to describe a change in cell propeies as cuticle producing cells became salt-secreting cells in silk moths undergoing metamorphosis.

The nerve that supplies skin over the angle of mandible, if involved in parotid injuries forms a part of anatomical basis for gustatory sweating:
(b) Greater auricular nerve(Ref. Cummings, 6th ed., 1254)The nerve that supplies skin over the angle of mandible is Greater auricular Nerve. Sometimes during parotid surgeries, Greater auricular Nerve also gets injured along with the Auriculotemporal Nerve. In this situation with the aberrant regeneration of the Auriculotemporal Nerve, the parasympathetic fibres (of the auriculotemporal nerve) to salivary glands become aberrantly connected with the sympathetic cholinergic fibres to sweat glands of the skin overlying the parotid as well as overlying the angle of mandible (the territory of Greater auricular nerve).

Commonest dangerous complication of posterior dislocation of knee is-
Dislocation of the knee- *This rare injury results from severe violence to the knee so that all of its suppoing ligaments are torn. *It is a major damage to the joint, and is often associated with injury to the popliteal aery. *Treatment is by reduction followed by immobilization in a cylinder cast. Clinical evaluation : (vascular exam) -Measure Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) if ABI >0.9 >>>> then monitor with serial examination if ABI <0.9 >>>> -If pulses are absent or diminished confirm that the knee joint is reduced or perform immediate reduction and reassessment - Immediate surgical exploration if pulses are still absent following reduction &;schema time >8 hours has amputation rates - If pulses present after reduction then measure ABI then consider observation vs. angiography Clinical evaluation : (vascular exam) -Priority is to rule out vascular injury on exam both before and after reduction serial examinations are mandatory. - Palpate the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses if pulses are present and normal , >> it does not indicate absence of aerial injury.

All are related to criminal responsibility of insame except -
Ans. is 'd' i.e., Resp ispa ioquitar o Criminal responsibility of insane is judged by following rules :1. Mc Naughten rule (legal test or right or wrong test) :It states that an accused person is not legally responsible, if it is clearly proved that at the time of commiting the crime, person was suffering from such a defect of reason from abnormality of mind that he didn't know the nature and quality of act he was doing or that what he was doing was wrong i.e. a person is not responsible if he is not of sound mind.It is accepted in india as law of criminal responsibility and is embodied in section 84 IPC as - "nothing is an offence which is done by a person, who at the time of doing it, by reason of unsoundness of mind is incapable of knowing the nature of act, or that he is doing what is either wrong or contrary to law".2. Doctrine of partial responsibility - if a person is suffering from some weakness or aberration of mind (though not completely insane), he is only partially responsible for his actions, e.g. obsession states or depressions.3. Durban rule- Accused is not responsible for the act, if his act resulted from mental disease or defect.4. Currens rule- A person is not responsible if at the time of committing the crime, he did not have the capacity to regulate his conduct according to the requirements of law, as a result of his mental disease or defect.5. American law institute test-Insane lacks the capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to confirm to the requirements of law, therefore he is not responsible for crimes committed.6. Norwegion system-No defendant considered insane or unconscious at the time of offence, may be punished.

Clomiphene Citrate : It is a non-steroidal triphenylethylene derivative Selective estrogen receptor modulator with both estrogen agonist and antagonist propeies Racemic mixture of two stereoisomers Enclomiphene (trans): 62% Zuclomiphene (cis): 38%, responsible for ovulation Mechanism of action: It is structurally similar to estrogen Competes for nuclear estrogen receptors throughout reproductive system At hypothalamic level it prevents accurate interpretation of estrogen levels Reduces negative feedback of estrogen triggering normal hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis. Hence it allows the release of GnRH into the pitutary poal system and stimulates LH and FSH secetion. It has antiestrogenic action at level of cervix and endometrium Indications: Anovulatory infeility, ovulation induction, male infeility due to defective spermatogenesis due to hypogonadism Chances of multiple pregnancy: Twins: 7-10% Higher order: 0.1-0.3% Pregnancy rate is about 50% compared to placebo Ref: D.C.

Time period between occurrence of osteosarcoma following radiation therapy:
D i.e. 10 yearsRef: Diagnostic Pathology: Bone, By G. Petur Nielsen, Andrew E Rosenberg, 2nd edition, pageExplanation:Post-radiation OsteosarcomaLatent period from radiation is long: Median 11 years.Rarely as little as 2 years.Latency inversely related to radiation dose.OsteosarcomaThe X-ray appearances are variable.Hazy osteolytic areas may alternate with unusually dense osteoblastic areas.The endosteal margin is poorly defined.Often the cortex is breached and the tumour extends into the adjacent tissues; when this happens, streaks of new bone appear, radiating outwards from the cortex - the so-called 'sunburst' effect.Where the tumour emerges from the cortex, reactive new bone forms at the angles of periosteal elevation (Codman's triangle).While both the sunburst appearance and Codman's triangle are typical of osteosarcoma, they may occasionally be seen in other rapidly growing tumours.Risk Factors for OsteosarcomaFamilial cases where the deletion of chromosome '13q14' inactivates the retinoblastoma gene is associated with a high risk of osteosarcoma development.Bone dysplasias, including Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, enchondromatosis, and hereditary multiple exostoses, increase the risk of osteosarcoma.Li-Fraumeni syndrome (germline TP53 mutation) is a predisposing factor for osteosarcoma development.Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (i.e., autosomal recessive association of congenital bone defects, hair and skin dysplasias, hypogonadism and cataracts) is associated with increased risk of this disease.Bone irradiation.Note:Characteristic histologic finding of osteosarcoma:Bone forming tumor (osteo = bone).Presence of osteoid.Characteristic radiologic features:Codman's triangle.Sunburst appearance.

Ramesh a 40 yr old male patient presenting with polyuria, pain abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and altered sensorium was found to have bronchogenic carcinoma. Which of the following electrolyte abnormality can be seen in him?
There are several paraneoplastic syndromes associated with bronchogenic carcinoma. This patient's symptoms of polyuria, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and altered mental status indicates a diagnosis of hypercalcemia occurring secondary to the release of PTHrP by squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Small cell carcinoma of the lung is associated with hyponatremia due to the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone or possibly ANP. These patients develop hyponatremia. Small cell carcinoma is also associated with the ectopic production of ACTH resulting in hypokalemia. Ref: Horn L, Pao W, Johnson D.H. (2012). Chapter 89. Neoplasms of the Lung.

Which of the immunoglobulins is present in the Peyer's patch?
IgA is the predominat immunoglobulin produced in Peyer's patches. IgA producing lymphocytes are more abundant in these tissues than in lymph nodes or spleen. The direct secretion of secretory IgA onto mucosal epithelia represents the major effector mechanism of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). IgA is the main immunoglobulin in secretions such as milk, saliva, and tears and in secretion; of the respiratory, intestinal, and genital tracts. It protects mucous membranes from attack of bacteria and viruses.

Best bone of the following to assess the age of a person between 20-50 years is
Age changes at pubic symphysis The changes in the pubic symphysis are the best criteria to assess the age from third to fifth decade. The changes occurs on three components: dorsal surface, ventral surface, and margin. At the age of about 20 years, there is formation of horizontal ridges of bone on the aicular surface which first stas on the upper poion of the ventral surface and extends to the dorsal surface. This is called billowing. At about 25-35 years, the surface becomes granular and the ventral nd dorsal margins are well defined. A rim formation stas from the dorsal surface extends to the ventral surface. At about 35 -45 years, the upper and lower end will be raised and also the ventral margin by bony extension which is called lipping and the beaded rim development will be complete on all around the margins of the aicular surface. By 45-55 years, the beaded rim stas breaking. By 55-65 years the breakdown of the rim is more and by the end of seventh decade the breakdown of the rim will be complete.

A deficiency of functional LDL receptors causes a significant elevation in plasma LDL and therefore increase in plama cholesterol. Thus increased blood cholesterol will be associated with a decrease in LDL receptors and not with an increase in the receptors.

Prelabour pains are mediated through
T11-T12 Pain pathways during labour The pain of labour arises from - Contraction of myometrium, against the resistance of cervix and perineum - Progressive dilatation of the cervix and lower uterine segment - Stretching and compression of pelvic and perineal structures Pain during the, first stage of labour is mostly visceral pain resulting from uterine contractions and cervical dilatation. It is usually confined to the T11-T12 dermatomes during the latent phase but eventually involves the TIO-LI dermatomes as the labour enters the the active phase. The visceral afferent fibres responsible for labour pain travel with sympathetic nerve.fibres.first to the uterine and cervical plexes then through the hypogastric and aoic plexes before entering the spinal cord with the T10-L1 nerve roots. The onset of perineal pain at the end of fist stage signals the beginning of the fetal descent and the second stage of labour. Stretching and compression of pelvic and perineal structures intensify the pain. Sensory innervations of the perineum is provided by the pudendal nerve (S2-S4) so pain during the second stage of labour involves the T10-S4 dermatosomes.

Mechanism of action of zeulton is?
ANSWER: (B) Inhibits LipoxygenaseREF: Goodman and Gillman s 11th ed page 479LEUKOTRIENE-SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS:The formation of leukotrienes depends on lip oxygenation of arachidonic acid by 5-lipoxygenase. Zileuton is a potent and selective inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase activity and thus blocks the formation of all 5-lipoxygenase products. Thus, in addition to inhibiting the formation of the cys-LTs, zileuton also inhibits the formation of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemotactic autacoidf and other eicosanoids that depend on leukotriene A4 (LTA4) synthesis.Logically, the therapeutic effects of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor would include all those observed with the CysLT-receptor antagonists, as well as other effects that may result from inhibiting the formation of LTB4 and other 5-lipoxygenase products.

Ref Robbins 8/e p262;7/e p272; 9/e p267 Hamaomatous Polyps Hamaomatous polyps occur sporadically and as compo- nents of various genetically determined or acquired syn- dromes (Table 14-6). As described previously, hamaomas are disorganized, tumor-like growths composed of mature cell types normally present at the site at which the polyp develops. Hamaomatous polyposis syndromes are rare, but they are impoant to recognize because of associated intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations and the need to screen family members. Juvenile Polyps Juvenile polyps are the most common type of hamaoma- tous polyp. They may be sporadic or syndromic. In adults, the sporadic form sometimes is also referred to as an inflam- matory polyp, paicularly when dense inflammatory infil- trates are present. The vast majority of juvenile polyps occur in children younger than 5 years of age. Juvenile polyps characteristically are located in the rectum, and most manifest with rectal bleeding. In some cases, prolapse occurs and the polyp protrudes through the anal sphincter. Sporadic juvenile polyps are usually solitary but in persons with the autosomal dominant syndrome of juvenile pol- yposis the number varies from 3 to as many as 100. Colec- tomy may be required to limit the hemorrhage associated with polyp ulceration in juvenile polyposis. Dysplasia occurs in a small propoion of (mostly syndrome- associated) juvenile polyps, and the juvenile polyposis syn- drome is associated with increased risk for the development of colonic adenocarcinoma. hamaomatous polyps and mucocutaneous hyperpigA mentation that carries an increased risk of several malig- nancies, including cancers of the colon, pancreas, breast, lung, ovaries, uterus, and testes, as well as other unusual neoplasms. Germ line heterozygous loss-of-function muta- tions in the gene LKB1/STK11 are present in approximately half of the patients with the familial form of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, as well as a subset of patients with the sporadic form. Intestinal polyps are most common in the small intestine, although they may also occur in the stomach and colon and, rarely, in the bladder and lungs. On gross evaluation, the polyps are large and pedunculated with a lobulated contour. Histologic examination demonstrates a characteristic arborizing network of connective tissue, smooth muscle, lamina propria, and glands lined by normal-appearing intestinal epithelium (Fig. 14-31, B
