What are three types of stem cell differentiation?

A

Unipotent - Can produce only one type of differentiated cellMultipotent - Can produce several types of differntiated cellTotipotent - can produce any type of differntiated cell

Q

What occurs in healing by primary intention?

A

There is minimal clot and granulation tissue formationEpidermis regenerates Dermis undergoes fibrous repairMaturation of scar continues up to 2 yearsRisk of trapping infection > abcess

Q

When does healing by secondary intention take place?

A

Unopposed wound edges, the healing of which causes large clot to form.

Q

How does secondary intention healing progress?

A
  • Epidermis regenerates beneath* Repair process produces much more granulation tissue* Longer process – produces a larger scar* Late contraction by myofibroblasts to reduce the volume of defect

16
Q

What occurs in cell migration in wound repair?

A

Inflammatory cells, endothelial cells and myofibroblasts all play a role

17
Q

What do inflammatory cells do in the cell migration stage of wound repair?

A

Neutrophils & Macrophages phagocytose debrisLymphocytes and macrophages chemically mediate wound repair

18
Q

What do endothelial cells do in the cell migrate stage of wound repair?

A

Angiogenesis

19
Q

What do myofibroblasts do in the cell migration phase of cell repair?

A

Produce extracellular matrix proteins, and are responsible for wound contraction

20
Q

Why is adequate blood supply vital to wound healing?

A

Provide access to the wond for inflammatory cells and fibroblastsDelivers oxygen and other nutrients

21
Q

What is the proliferation of blood vesels in angiogenesis induced by?

A

Growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

22
Q

What is the process of angiogenesis in wound repair?

A
  1. Endothelial proteolysis of basement membrane2. Migration of endothelial cells via chemotaxis3. Endothelial proliferation, maturation and tubular remodeling4. Recruitment of periendothelial cells
23
Q

What is the function of extracellular matrix production & remodelling

A
  • Supports and anchors cells* Separates tissue compartments e.g. basement membrane* Sequesters growth factors* Allows communication between cells* Facilitates cell migration
24
Q

What is the structure of type 1 collagen?

A
  • Triple alpha helix: gly-x-y structure* x and y usually hydroxy-proline or hydroxy-lysine – hydrogen bonding promotes strength* Glycine is the only amino acid small enough to fit at the centre of the helix
25
Q

What is the function of type 1 collagen?

A
  • Non-elastic* Strong* Rigid* Found in abundance in connective tissue
26
Q

What types of factors can effect the efficacy of healing and repair?

A

Local factors and general factors

27
Q

Give 6 local factors affecting the efficacy of local factors

A
  • Type, size and location of wound* Apposition, lack of movement e.g. keep ends of frature immobile and apposed* Blood supply: arterial and venous – hastens healing and repair* Infection: gangrene, suppuration (formation of abcesses)* Foreign material* Radiation damage e.g. during chemotherapy
28
Q

Give 6 general factors which effect efficacy of healing and repair?

A
  • Age* Drugs, e.g. steroids – inhibit inflammatory response & hormones* General dietary deficiences e.g. protein – reduced immune response* Specific dietary deficiences e.g. vit C – scurvy* General state of health* General CVS status
29
Q

What two factors can defective repair establish itself as?

A

Insufficient fibrosis Excessive fibrosis

30
Q

What can cause insufficient fibrosis?

A

o Wound dehiscence, hernia, ulcerationo Due to obesity, age, steroids, malnutrition etc

31
Q

What can cause excessive fibrosis?

A

o Cosmetic scarringo Keloidso Cirrhosiso Lung fibrosiso Contractures: fibrous healing which produces distortion or limitation of movement of the tissues and is most often seen in patients with full thickness burns* Skin graft and splinting helps prevention

32
Q

Describe the healing process of cardiac muscle

A
  • Cardiac myocytes are permanent cells* Damaged repaired by fibrosis
33
Q

Describe the healing process of bone

A
  • Damage is not replaced by scar tissue but by bone* Haematoma > macrophages and osteoclasts (procallus) > proliferation of fibroblasts > cartilage forms callus > cartilage reabsorbed and replaced by osteoblasts
34
Q

Describe the healing process of the liver

A
  • Only organ in the body capable of regeneration* Hepatocytes can re-enter the cell cycle and undergo mitosis* Evidence of stem cells, ovalocytes which can differentiate into hepatocytes
35
Q

Describe the healing process of nerve cells

A
  • Severed nerve can be repaired by Wallerian Regeneration1. Schwann cells line up in the basement membrane tube2. Synthesise growth factors3. GFs attract axonal sprouts formed at the proximal terminal of the damaged axon4. Basement membrane tube provides passage for the nerves which will innervate the muscle and skin
