Q

Can cardiac myocytes regenerate? So how must they heal? What is layed down during the healing? Can this contract?

A

no; they heal by scarring; lay down collagen; cannot contract —> can lead to heart failure

Q

Sources: activated macrophages, salivary glands, keratinocytes, and many other cells

Q

Sources: mesenchymal cells
Functions: chemotactic for neutrophils, macrophages, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells; activates and stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts, endothelial, and other cells, stimulates ECM protein synthesis

18
Q

This growth factor works at the level of the blood vessels. This growth factor works at the level of the ECM.

A

VEGF; TGF

19
Q

One of the main fibrogenic factors as you can see here. Macrophages, platelets and epidermal squamous cells all can produce it. It stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen which is type III at first and then this type is gradually replaced by type I.

A

TGF beta

20
Q

Signals from the growth factors are coordinated with the signals from the ECM via (blank). What is this interaction between signals referred to as?

A

integrins; cross-talk

21
Q

What is needed to heal a surgical wound?

A

angiogenesis!!

22
Q

It is important for wounds to undergo (blank) to form granulation tissue. What growth factor plays an important role in this?

A

angiogenesis; VEGF

23
Q

Angiogenesis mainly occurs via growth factor driven outgrowth of residual endothelium, sprouting of new (blank), and recruitment of (blank) to form new vessels.

A

vessels; pericytes

24
Q

Why do you debride a wound?

A

To get blood vessels to granulate in

25
Q

Two ways in which blood vessels arise

A
  1. angiogenesis from pre-existing vessels

2. angiogenesis by mobilization of EPCs from the bone marrow

26
Q

These cells can mobilize from the bone marrow to initiate angiogenesis

A

endothelial precursor cells

27
Q

4 steps in healing of bone fracture

A
  1. hematoma formation
  2. fibrocartilage (soft) callus formation
  3. bony callus formation
  4. bone remodeling
28
Q

A component of the ECM derived from fibroblasts

A

collagen

29
Q

How do you transform immature fibroblasts to mature fibroblasts?

A

Need fibroblastic growth factor

30
Q

Skin ulcers occur commonly in diabetic patients. What should you do first? What two things does this allow for?

A

debride the wound; this allows granulation tissue to form in the dermis and reepithelialization in the epidermis

31
Q

What is re-epithelialization? Where does it mostly come from?

A

re-growth of the epidermis following injury; new tissue comes from the periphery (can also come from basilar epidermis where there are skin “stem” cells

32
Q

What does healing by “first intention” mean? How does this differ from second intention?

A

First intention = approximate the skin edges around a wound together.
Second intention = Open up wound and let it drain, leave wound open for healing so it can granulate in

33
Q

Factors that affect wound healing?

A 
medications
degree of immobilization
foreign material
blood supply
infection
nutrition
diabetes
size/shape of wound
34
Q

What do you need to know about steroids, like prednisone, in regards to wound healing?

A

they are anti-wound healing!! if your patients are on them, no good.

35
Q

What’s a keloid?

A

a hypertrophic scar - dermis thickens due to the presence of collagen bundles

36
Q

How do myocardial infarctions heal?

A

by scarring

37
Q

What happens in days 1-3 following a heart attack?

A

neutrophils are trafficked to the infarcted area

38
Q

What cells are predominant during days 3-7 follows an MI?

A

macrophages - they come in and soften the area

39
Q

By what day of an MI does early formation of granulation tissue occur? By what day is it well developed?

A

days 7-10; days 10-14

40
Q

When is scarring complete following an MI?

A

> 2 months

41
Q

7-10 days after an MI, are myocytes present yet? What is the only cell present?

A

NO!; macrophages

42
Q

Left ventricular rupture can follow an MI and lead to (blank)

A

cardiac tamponade

43
Q

List some approaches to cardiac generation

A 
cardiomyocyte replication
cardiac stem cells
bone-barrow derived cardiac stem cells
epicardially derived cardiomyocytes
embryonic stem cells
induced pluripotent stem cells 
mesenchymal progenitor cells
