Wound Repair 3 Flashcards
4 components of repair
Angiogenesis
Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts
Deposition of ECM
Remodeling (maturation/reorganization of fibrous tissues)
Granulation tissue
3-5 days of tissue repair specialized tissue appears
Name for pink soft appearance of tissue
Characterized by fibroblast proliferation and new, thin walled delicate capillaries
Dense fibrosis
Angiogenesis
Develops at site of ischemia
Contributes to tumor factor growth
bFGF induced and VEGF induced
Collateral circulations at site of ischemia
Vasodilation
Response to NO
VEGF induced increased permeability of preexisting vessel
Proteolytic degradation of basement membrane
Matrix metallioproteinases MMPs
Disrupt cell-cell contact between endothelial cells by plasminogen activator
Migration of endothelial cells
Go towards the angiogenic stimulus
Proliferation of endothelial cells
Just behind leading front of migrating cells
Maturation of endothelial cells
includes inhibition of growth and remodeling into capillary tubes
Recruitment
Periendothelial cells, pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells to form a mature vessel
bFGF
basic fibroblast growth factor
Induces angiogenesis
VEGF
vascular endothelial growth factor
Induces angiogenesis
Increases vessel permeability and edema
3 stages of wound healing
Inflammation
Proliferation
Maturation
Inflammation
initial injury causes platelet adhesion and aggregation
Formation of a clot in surface of wound
Proliferation
formation of granulation tissue
Proliferation and migration of CT cells
Re-epithelialization of wound surface
Maturation
Involves ECM deposition, tissue remodeling and wound contraction
Incision damage
Death of limited number of epithelial cells and CT
Disrupt epithelial basement membrane continuity
Re-epithelialization to close wound
Makes a thin scar
Exiscional Wounds
Large defects on the skin surface From extensive loss of cells/tissue Abundant granulation tissue Extensive collagen deposition Substantial scarring Secondary intention healing
Blood Clot Formation
Entrapped RBCs, fibrin, fibronectin and complement components
Clot stops bleeding, scaffolding for migrating cells
Releases VEGF
Dehydration external surface
~24 hours neutrophils at margins, infiltrate with fibrin clot scaffolding, release enzymes clean debris
