A 53 year old man presents with increasing gastric pain and is found to have a 3 cm mass located in the anterior wall of his sto

mach. This mass is resected and histologic examination reveals a tumor composed of cells having elongated, spindle-shaped nuclei. The tumor does not connect to the overlying gastric epithelium and is instead found only in the wall of the stomach. The tumor cells stain positively with CD117, but negatively with both desmin and S-100. Special studies find that these tumor cells have abnormalities of the KIT gene. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
a. Lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma)
b. Ectopic islet cell adenoma (VIPoma)
c. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
d. Submucosal leiomyoma ("fibroid tumor")
e. Nonchromaffin paraganglioma (chemodectoma)

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)

Explanation:

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare neoplasms that originate from mesenchymal cells, generally express the KIT receptor (CD117) and present activated mutations of the tyrosine kinase or tyrosine kinase receptor proto-oncogene, cKIT (it is the gene that encodes KIT protein synthesis). GISTs can be located in any portion of the wall of the GI tract, but most are located in the submucosa or in the muscularis propria. Some are predominantly extramural; large ones can infiltrate neighboring organs

Gorter and grendel extracted lipids from human red blood cells. they calculated the total surface area for these red blood cells
Anastaziya [24]
<span>The calculated to surface area for red blood cells by Gorter and Grendel found to be 36u2.

 The surface area that would be covered once they spread across the surface of the water is 72u2.

If they spread across the surface area will double. This is because the lipid bilayer with phospholipid the head faces the water on each surface of the membrane.
 It clearly shows that there must be more to membranes than lipid bilayer because membranes grew and the surface tension of membranes is much lower than those of pure lipid structures.</span>

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

D. Inhibits the degradation of 2,3-BPG, thereby increasing its concentration in erythrocytes

Explanation:

A pharmaceutical company trying to develop a drug that improves tissue oxygenation by increasing the percentage of oxygen that is released from hemoglobin during its passage through the capillaries of extrapulmonary tissues. This drug, it is hoped, would become a popular doping agent for athletes.This means that the company should try a drug that Inhibits the degradation of 2,3-BPG( 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate) , thereby increasing its concentration in erythrocytes
