LO 5 LO OUTLINETHE PHYSIOLOGY OF PAIN MECHANISMS PRESENTED BY… OUTLINETHE PHYSIOLOGY OF PAIN MECHANISM Pain: How we feel pain;a subjective experience with emotional,motivational and cognitive components Nociception: Process through which potentially damaging stimuli are detected 4 Phases of Nociception: 1. Transduction – exposure to noxious stimulus producesAP at nociceptors in the periphery 2. Transmission – travels along nerve fibres to the dorsal horn,along the spinothalamic tracts of the spinal cord to the brain 3. Perception – individual experiences discomfort/ pain 4. Modulation – response to the pain- facilitation or inhibition of nociceptive input.TYPES OF SENSORY FIBRES A 19-YEAR-OLDWOMAN GETSA PAPER CUTWHILE ORGANIZING SOME PAPERWORK.SHE EXPERIENCES SUDDEN,SHARP PAINATTHE SITE OFTHE CUT.

THROUGHWHICH STRUCTURE DOTHESE NOCICEPTIVE FIBRES DECUSSATE? THE SPINOTHALAMICTRACT Conveys pain,temp and crude touch. 1. Information is sent from nociceptors to where the cell bodies lie in the dorsal root ganglion. 2. The neurone enters the spinal cord and ascends or descends for one or two levels through Lissauer’s fasciculus . 3. It then synapses onto a cell body in the dorsal horn of the grey matter,in an area called the substantia gelatinosa. 4. The axon then decussates and ascends in the spinothalmic fasciculus.The decussation occurs through the‘anterior white commissure’. 5. Spinothalamic tract then ascends through brainstem and synapses onto thalamus. 6. Thalamus sends projections to post-central gyrus in the cortex i.e. the primary sensory area.WHICH OFTHESE IS NOTAN EXAMPLE OF HOW PAIN MODULATION CAN REDUCEYOUR PERCEPTION OF PAIN?

Stratum basale – mitosis of keratinocytes 2. Stratum spinosum – desmosomes form between cells 3. Stratum granulosum – secrete lipids for waterproofing, ……………………….formation of tight junctions 4. Stratum lucidum – loss of nuclei,keratin production 5. Stratum corneum – loss of all organelles,keratin production Remember the pneumonic: Come Lets Get Some Beer STRUCTURE OFTHE DERMIS The papillary dermis is the thin layer that is composed of loose connective tissue and is highly vascular;it functions to provide nutrients to the lower epidermis. The reticular layer is the deep layer,forming a thick layer of dense connective tissue that constitutes the bulk of the dermis.It’s function is to add strength and pliability to the skin. Fibroblasts are the most abundant cells in the dermis,which generate connective tissue fibres. Collagen (type I and type III) is found in abundance in the dermis. Elastic fibres also play an important structural role – degeneration of elastin over time leads to the sagging of the skin and wrinkling.

A They have less melanocytes B They have a thinner epidermal layer C They have less keratinocytes D They receive less in-utero nutrition E Their melanocytes produce less melaninINTERMS OF CELLULAR BIOLOGY, WHY DO SOME INDIVIDUALSAT BIRTH HAVEA LIGHTER SHADE OF SKINTHAN OTHERS? • In different ethnicities, the number of melanocytes is THE SAME. • In light skinned people, the melanin is concentrated deep in the epidermis, particularly in the stratum basale layer. • Differences in skin colour depend on how much melanin is produced. OUTLINETHE MOA OF COMMONANALGESICS ANDANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS PARACETAMOL • Paracetamol is an effective analgesic and antipyretic,that has only weak anti-inflammatory properties. • It’s mechanism of action is not fully understood. • It is thought to act on the central nervous system by inducing effects on pathways involving prostaglandin, serotonin, endogenous opioids, NO and cannabinoids.NSAIDs Steroids Work by reversibly inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. There are 2 main types used medicinally: Examples: • Mineralocorticoid mimetics- used to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in patients with ibuprofen. hypoaldosteronism naproxen. diclofenac. • Glucocorticoid mimetics- for insufficiencies, anti- inflammatory and immunosuppression. Can be further subdivided based on duration of effect: •Short-acting – Hydrocortisone (1st drug of choicefor replacement therapy) •Intermediateacting – Prednisolone •Long-acting – DexamethasoneOpioids • Bind to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord and GI tract • Stop inhibitory neurons from releasing GABA, which promotes the release of dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin • Pain processing regions (in the thalamus, brainstem and spinal cord) release more serotonin and NA that reduces sensitivity to pain • Reward regions (such as nucleus accumbens, VTA and prefrontal cortex) release more dopamine that results in feeling calm and euphoricAYOUNG CHILD DID NOT RECEIVETHEIR RECOMMENDED COURSE OFVACCINATIONSAND CONSEQUENTLY HAS CONTRACTED MEASLES.HER GP PRESCRIBES CALPOL (LIQUID PARACETAMOL) FORTHE CHILD AS SHE IS SPIKINGA FEVER.WHICH PROTEIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER ELEVATED BODYTEMPERATURE?

THE PATIENT HASA PMH OF DEPRESSION,GASTRIC ULCERATIONAND HYPERTENSION.WHICH OFTHE FOLLOWING MEDICATIONSARE CONTRAINDICATED INTHIS CASE? A Paracetamol B Naproxen C Codeine D Deep heat cream E Aspirin• Naproxen is a long-acting NSAID. • Like other NSAIDs, it upregulates the production of leukotrienes as a result of shunting in the AA cascade. • Leukotrienes act on parietal cells to increase HCl production, which can lead to an exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease. • This patient has a PMH of peptic ulcer disease and so naproxen would be counter-indicated.FLUDROCORTISONE MIMICSTHEACTIONS OFALDOSTERONE,BUT FROMWHERE INTHEADRENAL GLAND ISALDOSTERONE RELEASED FROM?
