Q

Give a morphologic diagnosis (M Dx) for the situation described below

  • The brain of a dog has no gross lesions but the dog has demonstrated central nervous signs for the last 10 days. Microscopically most of the blood vessels of the cerebrum are surrounded with numerous lymphocytes.
A

Brain: Chronic lymphocytic perivascular encephalitis multifocal

Q

Give a morphologic diagnosis (M Dx) for the situation described below

  • A dog has a 4 cm diameter nodular skin lesion that has been open and draining fluid for about 10 days. Microscopically the subcutis has evidence of plant material (likely a plant awn), a few neutrophils around the plant material, large numbers of macrophages surrounding the area, a few multinucleate cells, and narrow zone of fibroblast and new capillaries surrounding the entire process.
A

Skin: Chronic pyogranulometous dermatitis focal

Q

Give a morphologic diagnosis (M Dx) for the situation described below

  • Repeated venipuncture over the last 4 days of the jugular vein of a cow has resulted in the formation of a large thrombus attached to the wall. Microscopically the site of attachment has a zone of neutrophils in addition to platelets and fibrin making up the thrombus.
A

Vein: Subacute fibrinosuppurative phlebitis focal

Q

Fibrinous

  1. Would this be acute or chronic
  2. tough or delicate
  3. thick or fine
A
  1. acute
  2. delicate, weak
  3. fine

think the in inside fibrinous, so it is initial to form (first to form)

Q

fibrous

  1. Would this be acute or chronic
  2. tough or delicate
  3. thick or fine
A
  1. chornic
  2. tough
  3. tough (requires a knife to cut)

think bro in fibrous, bros are tough, like Greg, James and Jose

Q
  1. What is the main goal in reparing a wound?
  2. what will happen if that optimal goal cannot be achieved
A
  1. Reconstitute injured tissue to optimal morphology and function.
  2. Replace injured tissue with viable tissue.
    • So granulation tissue will form
    • which will lead to fibrous tissue forming

Q

Parenchymal Repair Depends on what 2 things

A
  1. Capacity of residual cells to proliferate
  2. Stromal preservation, 2 things must be intract
    • Basement membrane
    • Blood supply

16
Q

What is the most common type of repair

A
  • repair by fibrous connective tissue
  • Damaged tissue is replaced by granulation tissue which then matures ti fibrous connective tissue (scar tissue)
17
Q

What is found in granulation tissue?

A
  1. Fibroblasts
  2. Angioblasts / endothelial cells
  3. +/- pmns, macrophages
18
Q

In what arrangement will you find fibroblasts and blood vessels in granulation tissue?

A

Perpendicular to each other

19
Q

For healing by primary union (first intension) what are 3 things that are needed

A
  1. Clean, incised
  2. Minimal infection
  3. Minimal foreign material
20
Q

after 3 months about what % will a wound healed by first intension have compared to its normal strength

A

80% of normal strength

21
Q

During healing by first intention what happens after 24 hours

A
  • Neutrophils go to the site
  • clot is formed
  • Scab is formed
22
Q

What happens during the subacute, 3-7 days during healilng by first intention

A
  • basal layer mitotic activity
  • granulation tissue is forming
  • see macrophages
  • fibroblasts
  • new capillaries
23
Q

what are macrophages doing during the subacute phase of healing by first intention?

A

removing debris

24
Q

What happens during healing by first intention weeks after the would happened

A
  • fibrous union
  • remodling and contraction is happening
25
Q
  1. What is needed for healing by secondary union to happen
  2. What can cause delayed healing in this?
A
  1. Wide defect; tissue loss; increased wound tension
  2. Delayed healing due to
    • increased necrotic debris
    • foreign material
    • infection
    • presence of exuberant granulation tissue (proud flesh)
26
Q

not sure what she wanted with this slide

A
27
Q

What is happening during the first step (2-3 days) during wound healing by secondary intention (union)

A
28
Q

What is happening during the second step (1-2 weeks) during wound healing by secondary intention (union)

A
29
Q

What is happening during the third step (3-6 weeks) during wound healing by secondary intention (union)

A
30
Q

What is the final product of wound healing by secondary intention

A
31
Q

What are these examples of?

A
  • exuberant granulation tissue
  • also called proud flesh in horses
32
Q

What are 8 factors that affect wound repair

A
  1. Blood supply: Lose blood supply, healing wont work
  2. Infection- can delay wound healing
  3. Foreign body- can delay wound healing
  4. Wound stability- need good stability
  5. Age- older they are, slower they heal
  6. Hormonal influences- Diabetes: prolonged wound healing
  7. Nutritional status- need Vitamin C and protein
  8. Chemotherapeutic agents
33
Q

What are the 5 steps of angiogenesis

A
  1. Breakdown of local extracellular matrix
    • Proteases
  2. Capillary bud formation
    • Migration of immature endothelial cells
  3. Endothelial cell maturation and proliferation
    • Formation of tube
  4. Endothelial cell adhesion, basal lamina formation
  5. Recruitment of pericytes, smooth muscle cells
34
Q

What signal is needed for the endothelial cell maturation and proliferation step of angiogenesis

A
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
  • is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates vasculogenesis and angiogenesis
