Inflammation/Wound Healing Flashcards
Three phases of wound healing and timing
Inflammation (1-10days), Proliferation (5-21days) and Maturation/remodeling (3wks-1yr)
Proinflammatory cytokines important in modulating immune response in wound healing and promoting production of new RNA and proteins
Interferons
Central enzyme in apoptoisis
Caspases
Newborn immune protection first 6months
IgG across placenta and IgA through breast milk
Amphotericin B; MOA
Binds to fungal cell wall sterols
Most abundant collagen in human body
Type I
Platelets aggregate and growth factors/cytokines released; Phase of wound healing and time after injury
Hemostasis, minutes
Phagocytosis by neutrophils, mast cells, vasodilation; Phase of wound healing and time after injury
Inflammation, first few days
Angiogenesis, collagen deposition, granulation, epithelialization, wound contraction; Phase of wound healing and time after injury
Proliferation, days to weeks
Collagen crosslink, remodeling and strengthening; Phase of wound healing and time after injury
Remodeling, weeks to months
Primary lymphoid organs
Liver, bone, thymus
Secondary lymphoid organs
Lymph, Spleen, Peyers, Tonsils, Adenoids
Phase of wound healing in which collagen deposition is greatest
Proliferative
Collagen cross linking is dependent on this for hydroxylation of proline
Vit C
When are anastomotic leaks likely to occur
POD3, old collagen is being broken-down but new collagen hasn’t quite caught up
Single most important molecule for intestinal wall strength
Collagen
When does collagen breakdown begin in wound healing and as a result of what enzyme
within 24hrs from metalloproteinases
Promotes hemostasis in the inflammatory phase of wound healing
Thromboxane A2
Stimulates vasculogenesis and angiogenesis
VEGF
Responsible for adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells
Integrins
Most common pathogen causing late graft infection
S. Epidermidis
Post-op prolonged NPO on TPN now with jaw pain and leukocytosis; dx and organism
Postop parotitis, Staph aureus
Leukopenia, fatigue, retinitis s/p renal transplant; dx and tx
CMV, gancyclovir
Dx test for pleural TB, result
Sputum and pleural fluid sample with mycobacterium
Pleural TB tx
Rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol
Most common organism in VAP
PsA and Staph aureus
Recommended surgical prep
Chloraprep
Altered penicillin-binding protein produced by MRSA is encoded by which gene
mecA
