17
Q

How do myofibroblasts work

A

They increase expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin isotope and appearance of stress fibers.

They orient linearly along the line of tension and form attachments causing wound contraction

Q

What type of collagen and what percentage is in a final scar?

A

10% type III collagen remainder is type I

19
Q

What is the strength of the final scar in relation to unwounded tissue?

A

70-80%

20
Q

What is the sequela of abnormal mechanical tension during the maturation phase

A

Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts will persist and produce collagen then contract leading to contracture

21
Q

What is the timeline for granulation tissue formation in dogs vs cats

A

Dogs - 4.5 days
Cats - 6.3 days

22
Q

How long does it take dogs to have a complete granulation tissue bed compared to cats

A

Dogs - 7.5 days
Cats - 19 days

23
Q

True or false - Contracture occurs quicker in cats

A

False - faster in dogs

24
Q

What was the breaking strength of the wound in cats vs dogs 7 days post op

A

0.4kg in cats
0.8kg in dogs

25
Q

Healing of wound edges cats vs dogs

A

Cats - contraction along wound edges
Dogs - central pull of fibroblasts and epithelialization

26
Q

What percentage of epithelialization occurred in dogs vs cats 21 days post experimental wounding with and without their subcutis? what was the total healing percentage of each?

A

Cats with subcutis 34% healed, without subcutis 20% healed, and total healing 84%

Dogs with subcutis 89%, without subcutis 61%, and total healing of 98%

27
Q

Wound strength chart - Skin, colon, stomach, bladder

A

120 days - Bladder 85%
Stomach 70%
Colon 60%
Skin 50%

28
Q

Compare factors involved in healing of GI and skin (flora, collagen type, production of collagen, collagenase activity, vascular perfusion, shear stress)

A

Skin -
aerobic not polymicrobial
Type I, III collagen
Fibroblasts produce collagen
No significant collagenase activity
Relatively constant perfusion
Variable shear stress - ex coap can help

GI -
aerobic and anaerobic polymicrobial
Type I, III, V collagen
Smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts produce collagen
Collagenase activity increased days 0-3
Vascular perfusion can be down regulated due to shock
Wound shear stress is increased due to intestinal motility and peristalsis

29
Q

Collagen types and percentages in submucosa, skin, bone, and articular cartilage

A

Submucosa: Type I 68%, Type III 20%, Type V 12%
Skin: Type I 80% and type III 20%
Bone: Mostly type I with small amounts of III and V
Articular cartilage: Type II 85-90%

30
Q

What PaO2 is necessary for neutrophil function in the wound bed and why?

A

> 40mmHg
Wound hypoxia impairs resistance to infection and is associated with an inability of neutrophils to kill bacteria

31
Q

Wounds over the distal extremity heal more by ________ and over the thorax heal more by _____

A

Distal extremity - epithelialization
Thorax - contraction

32
Q

What are myofibroblasts role in wound healing? Where do they come from?
They are associated with increase expression of what?

A

Cause wound contraction during the proliferative phase by orienting along the line of tension and forming attachments to ECM and itself.

They’re differentiated from fibroblasts
They are associated with increase expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and stress fibers

33
Q

How do neutrophils work in the wound bed

A

Neutrophils kill bacteria in the wound through release of ROS, breakdown of extracellular matrix through the release of proteolytic enzymes, phagocytize bacteria and debris, and release additional cytokines

34
Q

Conversion of ___ to ___ is sensitive to PaO2 in the wound

A

oxygen to superoxide

35
Q

What cells form granulation tissue

A

Fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, collagen, and macrophages

36
Q

Origin of collagen

A

Collagen polypeptide molecules are synthesized on the membrane-bound ribosomes of fibroblasts

37
Q

Fascial healing in relation to skin

A

Strength is dependent on sutures for first 7 days
Fascia regains tensile strength faster than skin with increased fibroplasia and collagen production
Higher strength than skin at 7 days post but similar by day 21

38
Q

What factors cause poor healing of the GI compared to skin

A

Peristalsis causes increased intraluminal pressure and high shear forces
Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
Vascular perfusion decreases during shock

39
Q

Bladder mucosa re-epithelializes in how long

A

2-4 days

40
Q

How long for the bladder to regain 100% of its strength

A

within 21 days

41
Q

When does collagen synthesis peak during bladder healing

A

Day 5 after injury

42
Q

Suture in proteus-infected urine

A

PDS lost all strength after 1 day in proteus infected urine
PDS, monocryl, and others disintegrated after 7 days in proteus infected urine
Infected urine had little to no effect on catgut

43
Q

How does loose skin heal (trunk, neck, thorax) vs tighter skin (extremities)

A

The loose skin that covers the trunk and neck heals primarily by contraction, whereas tighter skin (extremities) by epithelialization.
