25
Q

If an injury is too severe…

A

regeneration can’t happen

26
Q

What are the four components used in regeneration mediated by growth factor?

A

New vessel formation VEGF
Fibroblast proliferation FGF, TGF
Fibroblast synthesis of immature scar - type 3 collagen
Fibroblast remodeling with mature scar - type 1 collagen

27
Q

What is an eschar?

A

A scab

28
Q

Granulation tissue does not contain….

A

Cross linked collagen

29
Q

What are the three examples of wound healing?

A

First intention - sew shut
Second intention - leave open
Third degree burn

30
Q

What does it mean when a wound is healed by first intention?

A

Occurs in small wounds that close easily
Suturing or butterfly tape possible to use
Epithelial regeneration predominates over fibrosis
Healing is fast, minimal scarring
well vascularized, no dead tissue

31
Q

What is the time line to see changes for first intention healing?

A

Immediately
By 24 hours
By 3-7 days
Weeks later

32
Q

During the phase of immediate healing for first intention, what is seen?

A
Vasoconstriction - platelet activation
Vasodilation - fills with blood
Blood clots 
release of mediators - PDGF
Fibrinogen in blood converted to Fibrin by platelets 
Temporary scaffold
33
Q

What happens in 24 hours in first intention wound healing?

A
Platelets aggregate
Release PDGF's and firm clot formation
Migration of cells first of neutrophils and then macrophages 
In Cut edges, stem cells wake up
Chemotaxasis
34
Q

By 3-7 days what has happened in first intention wound healing?

A
More macrophages with few PMN
Granulation tissue formed - new blood vessels, fibroblasts (acted on by TGF) & myofibroblasts
Collagen type 1 begins to bridge 
ECM starts to be made
Newly made epithelium thickens
35
Q

What happens after a few weeks in first intention wound healing?

A

Granulation tissue gone; ECM back
Collagen type IV
Epidermis full thickness
Little scar forms

36
Q

What happens in healing by second intention?

A

Large wound gap occurs and fibrosis predominates over epithelial regeneration
Healing is slower, more inflammation, granulation of tissue formations and scaring (less wound contraction)

37
Q

Why can good wounds (that could heal well) go bad?

A

Trauma, acute or chronic infection, diabetes, steroids, ischemia, radiation

38
Q

What is a keloid scar?

A

Hypertrophic fibroblast response (more collagen)

too much type 1 leads to too much type 4 collagen

39
Q

What is a proud flesh scar?

A

Hypertrophic granulation tissue (more vessels present)

also called Pyogenic granuloma

40
Q

When is a scar good and when is it bad?

A

Good - forms well and is resilient

Bad - permanent contraction dysfunction

41
Q

How does HBV lead to scarring but HAV not?

A

HBV injures the matrix as well which leads to scarring

HAV only damages the cells

42
Q

what can store cytokines?

A

extracellular matrix

43
Q

what does basement membrane consist of?

A

Type IV collagen
Laminin
Proteoglycan

44
Q

what does interstitial matrix consist of?

A

fibrillar collagens
Elastin
Proteoglycan
Hyaluronan

45
Q

what mediates the process of Scarring?

A

Growth factors

  1. New vessel formation (angiogenesis) by VEGF
  2. Fibroblast proliferation elaborating FGF, TGF
  3. Fibroblast synthesis of immature scar - Type 1 collagen
  4. Fibroblast remodeling with mature scar - Type 4 collagen
46
Q

After a cut, a clot forms and within seconds

A

heeling begins with PDGF

47
Q

Fibrinogen is converted to Fibrin for

A

temporary scaffolding for WBCs

48
Q

By 24 hrs after an injury,

A

PMNs, platelets, Macs take over
Endothelial cells begin to proliferate
Fibroblasts emigrate - become myofibroblasts and wound contraction begins

49
Q

By 3-5 days after an injury,

A

granulation tissue is present
-scab, eschar
New firm scaffolding is present that repair cells can work

50
Q

Weeks after an injury

A

there is dense fibrosis - scar

scar remodeled in months from pink to white then wrinkled

51
Q

Granulation tissue has

A

no crosslinked collagen
mainly blood vessels and fibirin
no PMNs

52
Q

Examples of some injuries that heal by second intention?

A

large burns
Ulcers

53
Q

Ulcer caused by

A

some ischemia and pressure

54
Q

cirrhosis is

A

fibrosis and regenerative nodules

55

A

stains collagen blue

56

Proper Repair occurs

A

with architecture and function

58
