28
Q

the role of MMP during inflammation

A

removes damaged ECM and bacteria

29
Q

the role of MMP during proliferation

A
  • degrades basement membrane for angiogenesis

- migration of epidermal cells

30
Q

the role of MMP during remodeling

A
  • contraction of scar ECM

- remodeling of scar ECM

31
Q

what does the MMP do in non healing wounds

A

MMPs > off target destruction of proteins that are essential for healing

32
Q

what do MMP do in normal wound healing

A
  • activate inflammatory cells

- wound cells

33
Q

what is required for MMP activity

A

metal ion (Zinc)

34
Q

transforming growth factor

A
  • ECM formation

- reduce scar

35
Q

platelet derived growth factor

A
  • ECM formation

- angiogenesis

36
Q

fibroblast growth factor

A
  • angiogenesis

- keratinocyte proliferation and migration

37
Q

insulin-like growth factor

A
  • keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation

- collagen synthesis

38
Q

epidermal growth factor

A
  • keratinocyte proliferation and migration

- ECM formation

39
Q

connective tissue growth factor

A

collagen synthesis

40
Q

what happens during the proliferative phase

A
  • Granulation tissue
  • angiogenesis
  • epithelialization
  • contraction
41
Q

what is granulation tissue? what does it do

A
  • fibroblast lay bed of collagen matrix

- fills injury site

42
Q

how does angiogenesis occur

A
  • basement membrane degraded by proteases

- capillary sprouting

43
Q

epithelialization

A

keratinocytes cross moist surfaces to cover surface of the wound

44
Q

explain how epithelialization occur

A
  • leap frog from wound edge or dermal appendages

- use the fibronectin cross-linked with fibrin to crawl across

45
Q

explain the contraction during proliferative phase

A

wound edges pull together to reduce defect

  • myofibroblasts migrate to edges along fibronectin crosslinks and pull on ECM
  • fibroblasts fill in with collagen matrix
46
Q

what happens during the remodeling phase

A
  • new collagen forms which increases tensile strengths wounds
  • scar tissue is only 80% as strong as original tissue
47
Q

during proliferative phase type III collagen is replaced with what

A

type I collagen

48
Q

Reasons the wound “DIDN’T HEAL”

A
Diabetes
Infection
Drugs
Nutrition
Tissue necrosis
Hypoxia
Excessive tension
Another wound
Low temp
49
Q

how does diabetes impair wound healing

A

diminished sensation and arterial inflow

50
Q

how does infection impair wound healing

A

infection potentiates collagen lysis

51
Q

what kind of drugs impair wound healing

A

steroids and antimetabolites impede proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis

52
Q

what nutritional deficiencies impair wound healing

A

protein-calorie malnutrition

- vitamins A, C, and zinc

53
Q

how does tissue necrosis impair wound healing

A

ischemia (oxygen starvation)

54
Q

what causes hypoxia impairing wound healing

A

A

increasing the inflammatory response in wounds

stimulating collagen synthesis

how much zinc is needed during wound healing

A

15-20 mg/day

66
Q

primary intention wound healing

A
  • wound edges approximated and held together with staples, sutures, etc
  • healing occurs from epithelialization and CT
67
Q

secondary intention wound healing

A
  • wound edges are not approximated
  • healing occurs with granulation tissue, contraction of wound edge, epithelialization
  • mm, tendons, ligs do not regenerate
68
Q

tertiary intention (delayed primary intention) wound healing

A

wound is left open initially

granulation is allowed to give depth, then wound edges are approximated
