Q

What are the circulatory changes?

A

injury stimulation–>vasoconstriction–>vasodilation—>:

1) hyperemia (redness, swelling, warmth): increased intracapillary pressure
2) edema: (in capillaries and venules) filtration of plasma through vessel wall
3) congestion: blood flow in dilated capillaries and venules is slow
- -> WBCs attach to endothelium (wall of blood vessel)–> release of mediators of inflammation (derived from WBC and platelets)–> platelets initiate clotting

Q

Reasons for vessel wall changes during inflammation

A

1) increased intravascular pressure (congestion)
2) slowing of the circulation => less oxygen and nutrients to endothelial cells
3) adhesion of WBC and platelets to endothelial cells
4) release of mediator of inflammation (from WBC, platelets, endothelial cells, plasma)

81
What does neutrophils do during inflammation?
scavenging the site of injury.
82

``` produce growth factors produce chemicals (mediators) that act on other cells (fibroblasts, angioblasts, myofibroblasts) ```
83
What does myofibroblasts do during wound healing?
secrete substances like fibroblasts (collagen) | contract like muscle cells => reduction of defect, holding margins in close approximation
84
What does angioblasts do during wound healing?
(precusors of blood vessels) | sprout from small blood vessels around the wound
85
What does fibroblasts do during wound healing?
produce extracellular matrix of connective tissue | collagen fibers need to mature, cross-link => full strength of scar tissue (several weeks after injury)
86
What are the substances needed for collagen formation?
Vitamin C, zinc, protein
87
Describe the healing by First intention
(sterile surgical wounds) 1. blood clot -> scab 2. invasion of neutrophils and macrophages 3. ingrowth of myofibroblasts, angioblasts, fibroblasts 4. granulation tissue formation (=vascularized CT) - temporary structure, undergoes changes 5. collagenous scar (3-6 weeks) 6. proliferation of epithelial cells from margins of the wound (3-7 days)
88
Describe the healing by Second intention
(large, infected wounds) wound contraction cannot be accomplished by myofibroblasts granulation tissue remains exposed (more abundant) epithelial cells take longer to cover the defect more excessive scarring
89
What are the factors for wound healing?
1. site of the wound (skin, brain) 2. mechanical factors: approximation of margins, tension, movement, foreign particles 3. size of the wound 4. infection (prevention, treatment） 5. circulatory status: ischemic tissues heal poorly (diabetes mellitus, smoking) 6. nutritional and metabolic factors: protein, zinc, vitamin C 7. Age 8. Sleep
90
What are keloids?
hypertrophic scars composed of immature collagen.
91
What can cause excess scar formation?
keloids | contractures due to large scars, esp. after burns -> immobilization or lower ROM
92
What can cause deficient scar formation?
ischemia due to diabetic micro-angiopathy and metabolic disturbances excess of corticosteroids poor scar tissue development => dehiscence (separation of margins)
