Q

What occurs during the inflammatory/debridement phase of wound healing?

A

Tissue disruption causes haemostais and inflammation. There is a disruption to the vascular endothelium. The endothelial cells release endothelin. Endothelin + Epinephrine/norepinephrine, and prostaglandins leads to vessel wall dilation and vasoconstriction.

24
Q

What causes capillary ingrowth (aka angiogenesis) to a wound site?

A

Occurs as a result of capillaries sprouting from existing vasculature surrounding the wound

25
Q

What growth factors and cells encourage angiogenesis at a wound site?

A

VEGF, Keratinocytes, FGF

26
Q

What is the purpose of angiogenesis at a wound site?

A

the development of a microvascular network within the wound provides oxygen and nutrients to cells and becomes part of developing granulation tissue beds

27
Q

Where do fibroblasts come from and what cell types encourage their proliferation?

A

Fibroblasts migrate from surrounding tissue and proliferate in response to factors from platelets & macrophages

28
Q

What type of collagen is synthesised by fibroblasts in response to PDGF at a wound site?

A

Type III collagen

29
Q

Macrophages release what growth factor during the proliferative phase of healing and what does this growth factor do?

A

TGF-beta
Increases synthesis of Type I collagen & decreases production of MMPs

30
Q

How does TGF-beta influence fibroblasts at the site of healing?

A

It encourages fibroblasts in the wound to transform into myofibroblasts to form focal adhesions thus providing adequate mechanical leverage to cause wound contraction

31
Q

What causes epithelial cells to begin proliferation into a wound site?

A

Epithelial cells respond to EGF and TGF-alpha

32
Q

What is secreted by epithelial and endothelial cells to break down fibrin in the path of cell migration?

A

MMPs

33
Q

What process stops the movement of endothelial cells when in a wound?

A

Contact inhibition

34
Q

What are the predominant cell types in the proliferative phase of healing?

A

fibroblasts, epithelial cells, endothelial cells

35
Q

What is the purpose of the maturation or remodelling phase of wound healing?

A

Reorganisation of collagen & return of some degree of pre-wound strength

36
Q

Explain the process of the maturation/remodelling phase of wound healing.

A
  • Remodelling & strengthening of collagen
  • Collagen III converts to Collagen I
  • Matrix becomes more rigid
  • As tension on wound edges decreases secondary to collagen deposition, myofibroblasts regress, and collagen synthesis by fibroblasts is progressively decreased
  • Collagen maturation may continue for 12-18 mos
  • Collagen becomes reabsorbed and redeposited along lines of stress
37
Q

Disruptions to the mucosa alone heal by…

A

epithelial cell proliferation & migration –> seals in about 3 days

38
Q

Full thickness injuries to the GIT heal beginning w/

A

an inflammatory phase similar to skin healing

39
Q

what occurs during the proliferation phase of healing in the GIT?

A

granulation tissue is formed at the wound site and collagen undergoes synthesis and lysis

40
Q

Fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells synthesise what in the GIT healing phase?

A

collagen

41
Q

How many types of collagen are present within the GIT and what are they?

A

3 types of collagen: Collagen I, II, III

42
Q

What is the Lag phase of healing in the GIT?

A

Activity of collagenase during the first 1-2 days of healing

43
Q

What is special about the healing of fascia?

A

restoration of the integrity of the fascia is prolonged as the inflammatory cells and fibroblasts have to migrate longer distances through normal tissues to reach avascular and acellular fascial wounds

44
Q

What is special about fascia in the first 7 days of fascial wound healing?

A

Fascial incisions have no inherent strength and the integrity of the wound is dependent on suture material.

45
Q

How long does it take skin to reach pre-wound strength? Fascia? Bladder?

A

Skin: 6 wks
Fascia: 14 wks
Bladder: 3 wks

46
Q

How long does it take the bladder to re-epithelialize?

A

2-4 days

47
Q

What causes the initial inflammatory reaction of bone healing?

A

pro-inflammatory cytokines
Growth factors
bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)

48
Q

What do BMPs do?

A

stimulate undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to become chondroblasts & osteoprogenitor cells

49
Q

Neurovascularization of bone occurs in response to

A

GF release
Capillary budding
Endothelial cell migration

50
Q

Bone healing requires…

A
  • Chondroblasts & osteoblasts to produce cartilage & osteoid
  • Osteoclasts to degrade devitalised bone
51
Q

What is the initial callus of bone created by when healing?

A

fibrous tissue, cartilage, loosely woven bone

52
Q

The maturation phase of bone may last longer than

A

1 year

53
Q

Between dogs and cats, what is different about first intention healing of linear wounds?

A

Breaking strength is less in cats & equivalent to only half that of dogs

54
Q

Between dogs and cats, what is different about second intention healing?

A

Granulation tissue is observed faster and in higher quantity in dogs than cats

55
Q

Between dogs and cats, which one has a faster mean time to completely cover a wound with granulation tissue?

A

Dogs

56
Q

What are the major impediments to wound healing?

A

Local factors and Systemic factors

57
Q

What local factors impede wound healing?

A
