29
Q

Causes of autophagy

A

cellular stress (ex. deficiency of nutrients, growth factor- mediated effects or organelle damage)

30
Q

Most common form of necrosis. The cell’s proteins coagulate, maintaining a ghost outline. Initially the tissue texture is normal or firm but later becomes soft due to digestion of macrophages.
Microscopic examination: Loss of nuclear staining and cytoplasmic detail.

A

Coagulative necrosis

31
Q

Type of necrosis that occurs in the brain because of its lack of substantial supporting stroma. Site of necrosis will eventually be marked by a cyst.

A

Caseous necrosis

33

A

Dry gangrene

36
Q

A

Fat necrosis

39
Q

Type of necrosis seen in acute pancreatitis.

A

Fat necrosis
Enzymatic lysis of fat due to release of lipases → release of pancreatic lipase → release of fatty acids → combined with calcium → in severe cases causes hypocalcemia.

A

Stem cell

45
Q

Consequence of radiation to stem cells

A

Loss of stem cells or mutations that are propagated to daughter cells → risk of neoplastic transformations

46
Q

What is contact inhibition in healing?

A

When the cells form a confluent layer, the stimulus to proliferate is switched off.

47
Q

Process whereby tissues are repaired by formation of mature fibrovascular connective tissue.

A

Organization.

48
Q

Tissue that is formed in early stages of healing. It is the combination of the capillary loops and myofibroblasts. It contracts and accumulates collagen to form the scar.

A

Granulation tissue

49
Q

Diseases in which organization process is a common. The organized area is firmer than normal, shrunken and puckered

A

Pneumonia and an infarct

50
Q

Process in which capillary endothelial cells proliferate and grow into the area to be repaired. Simultaneously, fibroblast secrete collagen and other matrix components and acquire bundles of muscle filaments (myofibroblasts) → fundamental in wound contraction.

A

Granulation tissue formation

51
Q

Name of an excessive granulation tissue protruding from a surface

A

Proud flesh

52
Q

Important function of granulation tissue that reduces the volume of tissue for repair.

A

Wound contraction and scarring. The granulation tissue as a whole contracts and indraws the surrounding tissue

53
Q

Possible complication of the wound contraction in the granulation tissue.

A

Can lead to stenosis or obstruction in case of damage around a lumen tube (such as the gut)

54
Q

Excessive fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. They are genetically determined and are prevalent among blacks

A

Keloid nodules

55
Q

Leer

A

Hypoxia and release of growth factors by platelet degranulation → production of epidermal growth factor (EGFs) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) from platelets, macrophages and dermal fibroblast →keratinocytes and macrophages produce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) → angiogenesis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activates macrophages, proliferation of fibroblasts and matrix production. TGF-beta controls myofibroblasts and collagen production.

56
Q

Steps of bone fracture healing (3):

A
  1. Removal of necrotic tissue and organization of the hematoma.
  2. Capillaries are accompanied by fibroblasts and osteoblasts → they deposit bone in a woven pattern.
  3. Woven bone is replaced by lamellar bone, which is remodeled according to the direction of mechanical stress.
57
Q

Name of the mass of woven bone deposited by fibroblast and osteoblasts in bone fracture

A

Callus

58
Q

Problems with fracture healing (5)

A
  1. Movement → results in pain and excessive callus and prevents tissue union → formation of false joints at fracture site.
  2. Interposed soft tissues
  3. Gross misalignment → increase risk of osteoarthritis.
  4. Infection: more common on compound fracture (exposed)
  5. Pre-existing bone disease.
