40 of 41 Which statement about nitric oxide is true? Because it is chemically stable, it is able to travel relatively long distances. It does not diffuse readily. It is made in the body from arginine. The enzyme that catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide is inhibited by calcium lons. It is produced by inactivation of NO synthase.

How does hydroxyurea therapy alleviate the symptoms of sickle cell anemia? (Select all that apply.) HbS dilutes HbF and thus somewhat relieves the symptoms of the disease. HbF dilutes HbS and thus somewhat relieves the symptoms of the disease. HbF, because of its amino acid sequence, does not sickle and clog capillaries. O Hydroxyurea enhances the production of sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS) in the bone marrow. Hydroxyurea enhances the production of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in the bone marrow. O HbS, because of its amino acid sequence, does not sickle and clog capillaries.

A 35-year-old woman became severely depressed after the sudden death of her husband. Twomonths later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extremeweakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found thatshe had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels ofalanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasmaglucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding,antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recoverywas uneventful.3.a) How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though shewas not eating?b

Absorbed from the intestines into the blood, nitrites (NO2-) interact with the hemoglobin of the blood and block its respiratory function, turning part of the hemoglobin (HbFe2+) into methemoglobin (HbFe3+), unable to transfer oxygen from the lungs to tissues. With the formation of a large amount of methemoglobin, oxygen starvation of tissues occurs, which can cause damage to the central nervous system.10 to 20 % - of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - asymptomatic cyanosis,20 to 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - hypoxia develop,> 50% of methemoglobin (HbFe3+) - the person will die.The body weight of the average person is 60 kg. Blood mass averages 8% of a person’s body weight; blood density ρ = 1,050 g/cm3, the hemoglobin (Hb) content in it is 14 g per 100 ml.molecular weight of hemoglobin 65-68 kg/mol (use 68 kg/mol for calculation). Assume that 1 mole of hemoglobin reacts with one mole of nitrite ion to form 1 NO molecule:HbFe2+ + NO2- → HbFe3+ + NOwill a 290 mg dose of sodium nitrite be…

A 13 month old boy was admitted to a small rural hospital. He had been in a normal state of health until 10 days prior, at which time he had developed an upper respiratory tract infection. He experienced increasing problems with his balance and became lethargic. These symptoms prompted his mother to seek medical attention at the hospital where pertinent laboratory results at admission showed a serum glucose level of 23 mg/dL and moderate ketones in the urine and serum. An intravenous solution of 5% dextrose was initiated to correct the low glucose level. Because the clinical picture resembled Reye’s syndrome, the child was transferred to a medical center hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Laboratory results on admission to the medical center hospital.

In a diagnostic examination of a patient’s thyroid, the patient, who weights 70 kg, is given a capsule containing 10 micro Ci 131I. Thirty percent of the radioiodine is rapidly taken up by the thyroid, whose weight is estimated as 30 g. Given that 1) the biological half-life of iodine in the thyroid is 120 days, 2) the radiological half-life 131I is 8 days, and 3) the average absorbed energy in the thyroid is 0.21 MeV per disintegration, calculate the a) effective half-life of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in days, b) effective turnover rate of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in percent day-1, c) mean residence time of the radioiodine in the thyroid, in days, d) time for 90% of the radioiodine to be cleared from the thyroid, and e) committed dose to the thyroid, in cGy
