Wound Healing, cihangir Flashcards
Which stage is the longest stage in wound healing?
Maturation
Which stage is the last stage in wound healing?
Maturation 4th stage
How long does maturtion stage lasts?
6-12 months
During which period is the serine proteases and matrix metalloproteases most active?
Maturation
What happens in kelloid scar and why does it over mature?
Bcz there’s an error in the maturation process specifically serine proteases and matrix matalloproteases is not working
How do you differentiate b/w Keloid scar and hypertrophic scar?
Keloid scar: exceeds the original wound limit; painful
Hypertrophic scar: develops within the borders of the wound; can form anywhere
Which layer in the skin has the highest tensile strength and suture holding capacity?
Submucosa
The early strength of the anastomosis depends on the suture holding capacity, which is predominantly in the …………?
Submucosa with the serosa
Why does the GIS mucosal and serosal injuries heal without scarring?
Bcz they heal with contraction not epithelization
What are the stages of wound healing?
1-hemostasis
2-inflammation
3-fibroplasia
4-maturation
How is a chronic wound distinguished?
-If it doesn’t get better in 3 months
-malignant transformation may be observed= MARJOLIN ULCER
During which period of wound healing does Angiogenesis(formation of new blood vessels) decreases and fibroplasia ends?
Maturation
Which one is stronger, the mechanical strength of an uninjured tissue or a scar?
Mechanical strength of an uninjured tissue
during which stage of wound healing are growth factor hormones released ?
during Hemostasis
*what are the proteins released during hemostasis from thrombin-activated platelets?
IGF-a
PDGF
TGF-a/b
