Primary collagen in the healed wound (replaces type III)

32
Q

Where is Type II Collagen found?

A

Cartilage

33
Q

Where is Type III Collagen found?

A

Healing wound, also in blood vessels and skin

34
Q

Where is Type IV collagen found?

A

Basement Membranes

35
Q

Type V collagen?

A

Widespread, particularly in the cornea

36
Q

These 4 substances are required for the hydroxylation of proline and crosslinking of proline residues.

A
  • Alpha-ketoglutarate
  • Vitamin C
  • Oxygen
  • Iron
37
Q

Collegen has ________ every 3rd amino acid and abundant _________.

A

Proline; Lysine

38
Q

The final tensile strength of a wound is only ever what percentage of the pre-wound strength?

A

80%

39
Q

The predominant collagen produced for days 1-2 in wound healing is?

A

Type III

40
Q

Predominant collagen synthesized by days 3-4

A

Type I

41
Q

At 6 weeks a wound is ____% of final strength and ____% of original

A

80; 60

42
Q

At what point does a wound reach its maximal tensile strength?

A

8 weeks

43
Q

When does a wound have maximum collagen accumulation?

A

2-3 weeks. After that, amount stays same but cross-linking improves strength.

44
Q

What does d-Penacillamine do to collagen?

A

Inhibits cross-linking

45
Q

What do you want transcutaneous oxygen measurement to be in a healing wound?

A

25 mmHg

46
Q

What is essential to wound healing?

A
  • moist environment
  • O2 delivery
  • no edema
  • debridement of necrotic tissue
47
Q

What level of bacteria inhibits wound healing and why?

A
  • >10^5
  • decreases O2 content
  • collagen lysis
  • prolonged inflammation
48
Q

What is the effect of devitalized tissue and foreign bodies on wound healing?

A

slows/inhibits granulation tissue formation

49
Q

How does diabetes contribute to poor wound healing?

A

impedes early phase response

50
Q

What level of albumin can be a factor in poor wound healing?

A

<3.0

51
Q

How do steroids inhibit wound healing?

A
  • inhibit macs, PMNs, collagen synth by fibroblasts
  • decreases tensile strength
52
Q

What can be given to counteract steroid effect on wound healing?

Collagen disorder; 10 types identified

55
Q

Marfan’s syndrome is a defect in what?

A
  • 2nd MTP
  • diabetic foot ulcer 2/2 to neuropathy

A

1 year

59
Q

Does cartilage contain blood vessels?

A

No

60
Q

Does Denervation have an effect on wound healing?

A

No

61
Q

Chemo can be given how many days after surgery and have no effect on wound healing?

A

14

62
Q

What inheritance is Keloid formation?

A

Autosomal Dominant

63
Q

In Keloids, how far does collagen extend, and what is Tx? These are benign fibrous growths caused by overproduction of extracellular matrix and dermal fibroblasts.

A

Beyond the original scar.

Intralesional steroids are first line (70% response, some require repeat injections). The earlier the better.

Surgery may be necessary if steroids fail.

Other options include XRT, silicone, pressure garments.

64
Q

Where are hypertrophic scars usually found?

A

flexor surfaces of upper torso

65
Q

In hypertrophic scars, how far does collagen extend? How is it managed?

A

Stays within confines of scar

Treat with steroids, silicone, pressure garments

66
Q

What kind of closure can be used for clean or surgical wounds?

A

Primary intention - deep sutures in collagen rich areas, like fascia and dermis

67
Q

Why is the subcutaneous fat not typically closed?

A

Not much collagen, can’t hold tension

68
Q

When do closed wounds epithelialize?

A

24-48 hrs. This is the point where the wound is watertight. Ok to remove sterile bandage.

69
Q

In closed wounds, what is the tensile strength (as percentage of normal) at 3 wks and 6 wks?

What is the tensile strength of scar?

A

20%, 70%

80%

70
Q

Compare the healing of open vs closed wounds.

A

Same processes of closed wounds, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling (maturation). It just takes longer.
