Chapter 20, Problem 1CCS

27-Year-Old Male with a Crushed Hand

Andrew Hutchinson, 27, had surgery to repair his right hand after it was crushed by his garage door. The routine complete blood count (CBC) performed on admission revealed both a dangerously low total leukocyte count and a low proportion of lymphocytes.

Chapter 20, Problem 1CCS, 27-Year-Old Male with a Crushed Hand Andrew Hutchinson, 27, had surgery to repair his right hand

One day postsurgery, he complains of pain in his injured right ring finger. When examined, the affected finger and the dorsum of the right hand are red, warm, and edematous, and red streaks radiate proximally on his right forearm. High doses of antibiotics are prescribed, and a sling is applied to the affected arm. Nurses are instructed to wear gloves and gown for Andrew s protection (called reverse isolation) when tending to him.

Relative to these observations:

1. How might the low lymphocyte count, orders for antibiotic therapy, and reverse isolation be related? Why is it important that Andrew not move the affected arm excessively (i.e., why was the sling ordered)?

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
