Q

what is the ideal outcome?

A

resolution - when organised tissue replaces the damaged area with identical tissues in structure and function to the original - cell must be able to regrow and cell debris must be cleared

Q

what happens if the damage is very severe?

A

the damaged cells cannot regrow and the architecture of the tissue is destroyed meaning that healing takes place by formation of a scar - fibrous repair

Q

what is cirrhosis?

A

it is the collapse of the reticulin - the normal architectural framework in the liver and therefore it cannot regenerate - usually occurs by persistent long term exposure to noxious agents - regenerative nodules are separated by a fibrous septum - imbalance between the hepatocyte regeneration and failure to reconstruct the architecture

Q

what happens in regeneration when a labile cell population is lost?

A

it can be restored - cells at the edge of the defect can multiply to cover the defect - one they cover the defect proliferation stops - contact inhibition - epidermis grows from the base upwards

Q

what is the difference between mechanical and electrical heart damage due to fibrous scar tissues?

A

mechanical: loss of pumping capacity
electrical: focus of the abnormal electrical activity resulting in arrhythmia or disruption to the cardiac conducting system giving heart block

27
Q

what occurs in organisation?

A

the production of granulation tissue on a scaffold of fibrin and then removal of dead tissue by phagocytosis

28
Q

what is granulation tissue?

A

it is from endothelial cell proliferation and it is tissue with capillaries within it - important for inflammation and has white cells for phagocytosis of dead matter

29
Q

what is responsible for contraction in wounds?

A

myofibroblasts - synthesis ECM and collagen and infiltrate the granulation tissue - acquire myofibrils - they have contractile capacity - found in granulation tissue

30
Q

what is wound contraction important for?

A

reducing the volume of tissue for repair (up to 80%)

31
Q

what happens to granulation tissue over time?

A

it becomes far less cellular and vascular and has more collagen

32
Q

what is needed for primary intention?

A

clean, uninfected surgical wound, with good haemostasis and apposed edges

33
Q

what can be a complication of bleeding?

A

haematomas - can push the sutures apart so edges are no longer apposed

34
Q

what are sutures connected with?

A

a thin layer of fibrin which is then replaced by surface epidermis and collagen

35
Q

what happens when epidermis overgrows?

A

if they do not stop growing and are not reabsorbed then the epidermis will grow into the wound and form an epidermal cyst / keratin filled cyst which results in implantation dermoid - inability to reconstruct the elastic network within the dermis

36
Q

what is a scab formed from?

A

coagulated blood

37
Q

what are the criteria for secondary intention?

A

wound edges are not apposed or apposition is not possible, large haematoma, infection, extensive loss of tissue, foreign

38
Q

what are the differences in outcome for primary and secondary and why?

A

due to the more florid granulation tissue reaction there is more extensive scarring in secondary intention

39
Q

what are the basics of secondary intention?

A

wound, covered by granulation tissue, contracting to form a scar

40
Q

what other structures are similar to contractures from third degree burns?

A

oesophageal peptic strictures

41
Q

how are contractures dealt with?

A

surgery and physiotherapy

42
Q

how does healing occur after third degree burns?

A

repair - regeneration is not possible

43
Q

why does scurvy lead to problems with wound healing?

A

scurvy is from a deficiency in vitamin C. Vitamin C is needed for collagen synthesis. Collagen is needed for wound healing

44
Q

why do steroids impair wound healing?

A

they are immunosupressive and interfere with the formation of granulation tissue

45
Q

why are keloid scars hard to treat?

A

once they are treated they can cause another

46
Q

what is the basis of keloid scars?

A

can be genetically determines - after dermal injury there is excessive fibroblast proliferation and collagen production

47
Q

what is callus formation?

A

during fracture healing there may be a new island of bone or cartilage made due to osteoblasts and fibroblasts resulting in a callus formation - this is an irregular woven structure

48
Q

what replaces the callus formation?

A

lamellar bone which is stronger and is remodelled according to the stresses and strains on the body

49
Q

how does cardiac healing occur?

A

the myocytes die and are replaced by fibrous tissue - repair

50
Q

what do white areas on images of cardiac muscle represent?

A

granulation and scarring

51
Q

what is a complication from a LT extensive MI?

A

transmural scar in the LV which results in a non-contractile cardiac aneurysm. Therefore instead of contracting the cardiac muscle keeps on distending and there is a saccular outpouch. This can fill with thrombus and cause further infarctions.

52
Q

how is a haematoma formed in fracture healing?

A

haemorrhage within the bone from ruptured blood vessels within the bone marrow - provides a network or scaffold for repair

53
Q

what is the process of fracture healing?

A

haematoma is organised, removal of necrotic fragments, osteoblasts then lay down disorganised woven bone (callus) , remodelling according to mechanical stress and replaced by lamellar ordered bone

54
Q

what are the results of misalignment and what causes it?

A

caused by movement, interposed tissue or infection and the results are that it heals more slowly, poor functional result and increases the risk of degenerative disease in adjacent joints i.e. osteoarthritis

55
Q

what is the risk of infection?

A

Slows healing and increases the risk of chronic osteomyelitis

56
Q

what are pathological fractures?

A

fractures that have a primary disease of the bone or secondary involvement such as metastases and might need to be treated prior to sorting fracture

57
Q

what are the supporting cells for neurons and how well differentiated are neurons?

A

the supportive cells for neurons are glial cells and neurons are terminally differentiated

58
Q

what is gliosis?

A

proliferation of astrocytes, it occurs after an intracerebral haemorrhage as a cyst will be left due to removal of blood components and lysis

59
Q

what controls healing?

A

complex network of cytokines

60
Q

what happens initially after platelet aggregation at a wound site?

A

macrophage chemotaxis followed by cells at defect edges growing over

61
Q

what stimulates granulation tissue formation?

A

epidermal growth factor

62
Q

what are the functions of PDGF and TGF?

A

chemotaxis stimulation

63
Q

what is the main function of TNF?

A

activates macrophages

64
Q

what increases vascular permeability?

A

vascular endothelial cell growth factor

65
Q

what is the function of transforming growth factor?

A

it replicates epithelial cells and hepatocytes
