When providing care for a child immediately after a bone marrow aspiration, which nursing action is priority?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Monitor the site dressing and vital signs.

Explanation:

The bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells. It is made up of a liquid part and a more solid part.  And it is found in the hollow part of most bones. The bone marrow is

The biopsy and bone marrow aspiration are usually done at the same time. Together, these two procedures may be called a bone marrow study.

Marrow aspiration is the removal of a small amount of this tissue in liquid form for testing. Bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow aspiration are procedures that allow samples of bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside some of the longer bones) to be removed and tested.  In a bone marrow biopsy, the doctor uses a needle to remove a sample of the solid part. In a bone marrow aspiration, a needle is used to remove a sample of the liquid part.

<u>Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy may indicate whether the bone marrow is healthy and producing normal amounts of blood cells</u>. Doctors use these procedures to diagnose and monitor blood and marrow diseases, such as some cancers and fevers of unknown origin.  <u>After the procedure, it is important to control the wound so that it does not become infected, and to monitor vital signs.</u>

Following antigenic stimulation, phosphorylation of _________ relieves inhibition of the transcription factor
Maru [420]

Answer: zap70, ITAM.

Explanation:

An antigen is any substance that is capable of stimulating an immune response by activating lymphocytes, which are the body’s infection-fighting white blood cells. Examples of antigens could be proteins that are part of bacteria or viruses or components of serum and red blood cells from other individuals, all of them are foreign antigens originated outside the body. However, there can also be autoantigens (which are self-antigens), originated within the body. In normal conditions, the body is able to distinguish self from nonself. <u>And the antigens that represent a danger induces an immune response by stimulating the lymphocytes to produce antibody or to attack the antigen directly</u>. This is called an antigenic stimulation of the immune system.

ZAP-70 (Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70) is a protein that is part of the T cell receptor, thereby it plays a critical role in T-cell signaling. When the TCR (receptor of T cells) is activated by the presentation of the specific antigen through the MHC, a protein called Lck acts to phosphorylate the intracellular CD3 chains and the ζ chains of the TCR complex, allowing the binding of the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, ZAP-70. Lck then phosphorylates and activates ZAP-70, which in turn phosphorylates another molecule in the signaling cascade called LAT (short for Linker of Activated T cells), a transmembrane protein that serves as an anchor site for several other proteins. The tyrosine phosphorylation cascade initiated by the Lck culminates in the intracellular mobilization of calcium ion (Ca2+) <u>and the activation of important signaling cascades within the lymphocytes.</u> These include the Ras-MEK-ERK pathway, which is based on activating certain transcription factors such as NFAT, NFκB and AP-1. These transcription factors regulate the production of of certain gene products, most notably cytokines such as interleukin-2 that promote the long-term proliferation and differentiation of activated lymphocytes.

The ITAM motifs (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif) are sequences of four amino acids present in the intracellular tails of certain proteins that serve as receptors within the immune system. Thus, <u>some receptors such as the TCR have ITAM sequences that, when activated, trigger an intracellular reaction based on consecutive phosphorylations</u>.  Kinases are recruited for this purpose.

So, ZAP-70 is a protein tyrosine kinase with a role in T-cell receptor signal transduction. During T-cell activation, ZAP-70 binds to ITAM and becomes tyrosine phosphorylated. The binding of ZAP-70 to the phosphorylated ITAM is able to activate its kinase activity, <u>and relieves the inhibition of the transcription factor which regulates genes that are involved in the immune reaction</u>.
