Wound Healing and Management of Chronic Wounds Flashcards
Platelets play are the chief effector cells during hemostasis
T
Platelet release several growth factors and cytokines, such
as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth
factor-P (TGF-P)
T
Microphage are also responsible
for releasing several proangiogenic and antiangiogenic growth factors that are critical for revascularization of wounds
F Platelets are also responsible
for releasing several proangiogenic and antiangiogenic growth factors that are critical for revascularization of wounds
the inflammatory phase lasts 48 hours
T
macrophage invasion is critical to
the inflammatory phase because macrophage-defective or macrophage-depleted animals undergo .abnormal wound healing.
T
Macrophages are responsible
for releasing a whole host of mediators primarily through binding
to integrin receptors on the ECM
T
tumor necrosis factor a
and interleukin-I (IL-1)4 secreted from the microphage
t
Proliferation phase 48 hours to 10 days after tissue injury
T
Epidermal growth factors, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-a), which are the main
members of the epidermal growth factor family involved in wound
healing
T
Fibroblasts and macrophages
replace the fibrin mesh to form granulation tissue
T
Remodeling start from2 weeks and can last for years
T
type I collagen into mainly type III collagen by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
F type III collagen into mainly type I collagen by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)
Cutaneous scar tissue is composed of high ECM macromolecules compare to normal tissue
F Cutaneous scar tissue is composed of the same ECM macromolecules as normal tissue
Increased
levels of TGF-Pl have been implicated in hypertrophic adult scars
T
Fibroblasts are thought to generate cell traction
forces that are much greater than needed for cell migration
T
cells without mechanical stress or stimuli
adopt a spherical shape and enter cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis
T
Chronic wound any wound that last more than 1 month
F that persist for longer than 6 weeks.
Percentage of venous & arterial ulcer
venous insufficiency constitute
70%, arterial disease 10%, and ulcers of mixed etiology 15% of leg
ulcer presentations
