22
Q

What are the steps in angiogenesis?

A
  1. Endothelial proteolysis of basement membrane
  2. Migration of endothelial cells via chemotaxis
  3. Endothelial proliferation
  4. Endothelial maturation and tubular remodelling
  5. Recruitment of periendothelial cells
23
Q

What is the function of the extracellular matrix?

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 type of collagen is in the basement membrane?

A

IV

25
Q

Give an overview of collagen synthesis

A

Polypeptide alpha chains made in ER
Enzymatic modification steps including vitamin C dependent hydroxylation
Alpha chains align and cross link to form procollagen triple helix
Soluble procollagen secreted
Procollagen cleaved to give tropocollagen
Tropocollagen poymerises to form fibrils
Bundles of fibrils form fibres which undergo slow remodelling by specific collagenases

26
Q

Give some defects of collagen synthesis

A

Scurvy
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Alport syndrome

27
Q

What do matrix glycoproteins do?

A

Organise and orientate cells, support cell migration

Fibronectin, laminin, tenascin

28
Q

What do proteoglycans do?

A

Matrix organisation, cell support, regulate growth factor availability
e.g Heparan sulphate proteoglycan

29
Q

What does elastin do?

A

Provide tissue elasticity

30
Q

What is the rabbit ear chamber model?

A

An experiment done where plastic chamber surgically inserted into ear of lop eared rabbit
Thin tissue bed develops between the layers of the chamber enabling in vivo microscopic visualisation of healing and repair

31
Q

What are the first steps after a wound has occurred?

A

Blood clot forms
Acute inflammation occurs around the edges: neutrophils infiltrate and digest clot
Chronic inflammation: macrophages and lymphocytes migrate into clot

32
Q

What us the blood clot replaced by?

A

Granulation tissue

33
Q

What are the next steps after macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration?

A

Angiogenesis- capillaried and lymphatics sprout and infiltrate
Myo/fibroblasts migrate and differentiate
The myo/fibroblasts synthesis collagen and an extracellular matrix is produced
Macrophage numbers reduce

34
Q

What happens in maturation of a wound?

A 
Comparatively long lasting
Cell population falls
Collagen increases, matures and remodels
Myofibroblasts contract reducing wound volume
Vessels differentiate and are reduced
Left with fibrous scar
35
Q

How are inflammatory cells recruited?

A

chemotaxis

36
Q

How is angiogenesis controlled?

A

Platelets, ECM and others produce angiogenic cytokines in response to hypoxia e.g VEGF and bFGF

37
Q

How is fibrosis controlled?

A

Macrophages produce various pro-fibrotic cytokines e.g IL1, TNF alpha
Fibroblast proliferation and ECM production

38
Q

What type of wound heals by primary intention?

A

An incised wound with apposed edges

39
Q

What is the process of healing by primary intention?

A

Minimal clot and granulation tissue
Epidermis regenerates
Dermis undegoes fibrous repair
Sutured- sutures removed after approx 10 days (10% original strength)
Transition from granulation tissue to scar tissue
Maturation of scar taking up to 2 years
Minimal contraction and scarring, good strength

40
Q

What is there a risk of in healing by primary intention?

A

Trapping infection-abscess

41
Q

What type of wounds heal by secondary intention?

A

Infarct, ulcer, abscess or any large wound

42
Q

What is the process of healing by secondary intention?

A 
Unapposed edges
Large clot dries to form scab/eschar
Epidermis regenerates from base up
Much more granulation tissue produced
More contraction to reduce volume of defect
Larger scar produced
43
Q

What are the differences between primary intention healing and secondary intention healing?

A

More granulation tissue in secondary
Eschar produced in secondary
Unapposed edges, more contraction and larger scar produced in secondary
Secondary takes longer

44
Q

Give an overview of fracture repair?

A

HAEMATOMA forms from ruptured vessels within marrow cavity and periosteum
SOFT CALLUS forms as haematoma organises and there is an ingress of macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and osteoblasts
HARD CALLUS forms as bone is laid down in an irregular woven pattern sometimes with islands of cartilage
REMODELLING occurs as woven bone gradually replaced by lamellar bone which is remodelled to shape in the direction of mechanical stress

45
Q

What happens when cardiac muscle is injured?

A

Fibrosis occurs

46
Q

What happens when there is liver injury?

A

Acute damage->regeneration
Chronic damage->cirrhosis
Liver hepatocytes have some regenerative capacity but the architecture cannot regenerate. The imbalance that occurs between these leads to nodules and cirrhosis

47
Q

What occurs in Wallerian degeneration?

A

Nerve axons have been cut and there is corresponding atrophy in the muscle and degeneration of distal axons
Proximal nerve terminals send sprouts towards the schwann cell tubes
Some of the sprouts make it into the tubes and reinnervate the muscle which has undergone neurogenic rearrangement

48
Q

Where does Wallerian degeneration occur?

A

Peripheral nervous system

49
Q

What happens when there is damage to the CNS

A

The CNS has no regenerative capacity

Gliosis occurs where astrocytes enlarge and proliferate to form a glial scar which blocks axonal growth

50
Q

Does skeletal muscle regenerate?

A

The muscle cells can’t proliferate but some regeneration can occur due to differentiation of satellite cells

51
Q

What local factors can affect wound healing?

A 
Type size and location
Apposition and lack of movement
Blood supply
Infection
Foreign material
Radiation damage
52
Q

What general factors affect wound healing?

A 
Age
Drugs and hormones 
Dietary deficiencies
General health
General CVS health
53
Q

What are some complications of wound healing?

A

Insufficient fibrosis- hernia, wound dehiscence, ulceration. Found in elderly, obese, malnutrition etc,
Excessive fibrosis- keloid, excessive scarring, lung fibrosis, cirrhosis
Excessive contraction- occluding channels(strictures), limiting movement (contractures)
