Q

Wound healing 2

A

Day 2
Late inflammation
Macrophages begin to infiltrate incisional space and demolish fibrin
Surface continuity is re-established in a thin surface layer

1
Q

Stages of wound healing 1)

A

Neutrophils appear at the margins of the incision
Acute inflammatory response-> platelets-> Chemokines
Swelling pain and redness
Exudate neutralises damage and initiates organisation
Epithelial cells undergo mitosis and migrate across wound

Initial vasoconstriction the vasodilation via prostaglandins, thrombin
Fibrin initiates coagulation

2
Q

Wound healing 3

A

Day 3
Granulation tissue begins to invade tissue space
Fibroblasts lay down collagen
Surface continuity is reinforced by thickening of epithelial layer

3
Q

Wound healing 4

A

Day 5
Incisional space filled with vascular granulation tissue
Collagen is deposited
Surface epithelial becomes normal thickness
Acute inflammatory response is reduced

4
Q

Wound healing 5

A

Day 7
Wound has 10% of tensile strength
Remove sutures

5
Q

Wound healing 6

A

Day 10
Further fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition
Adds strength to the wound

6
Q

Wound healing 7

A

Day 15
Collagen deposition follows the lines of tissue stress
Granulation tissue looses some vascularity

7
Q

Wound healing 8

A

Wound has 50% of tensile strength

8
Q

Wound healing 9

A

3 months
Wound achieves 80% of tensile strength
Only marginally more vascular than normal skin-> removed in coming months to become white
Remodelling occurs

9
Q

Five key events in wound healing

A

Angiogenesis-> local vessels form-> basic fibroblast growth factor
Mitogenesis-> divide to form fibroblasts and myoblasts-> platelet derived and basic fibroblast growth factor
Chemotaxis and motility-> migration-> platelet derived and basic growth factor
Fibrogensis-> secrete collagen-> transforming growth factor, IL-1, tumour necrosis factor
Remodelling-> collagen degrading enzymes produced

10
Q

Adverse effects of acute inflammation

A

May cause the symptoms
-> meningitis, croup/diphtheria, pericarditis, pleurisy, peritonitis
Pleurisy-> painful because exudate is fibrinous
Meningitis-> Purulent exudate fills space in the pia-> raised intracranial pressure-> microthrombosis in small vessels

11
Q

Adverse effects of chronic inflammation/scars

A

Chronic inflammation always heals by a scar
Scars are functionless
Strong but not-> elastic, contractile, secretory, absorptive or pretty

12
Q

Factors leading to inadequate healing

A
Continuing infection
Foreign or uncleared necrotic material 
Ischaemia
Diabetes
Denervation
Steroid therapy
Previous irradiation
13
Q

Healing of brain necrosis or infarction

A

Brain parenchyma doesn’t contain fibroblasts-> can’t make collagen
Instead undergoes liquification
Phagocytosis-> following cell death removal of damaged cells by phagocytotic resident microglial cells, supplemented by monocytes from the blood
Gliosis-> astrocytes become activated-> proliferate to fulfil metabolic roles in protecting neurones
Damaged areas replaced by astrocyte proliferation-> glial scar

14
Q

Bone healing

A

Collagenous scar isn’t strong enough

Bone needs to be replaced by bone

15
Q

Stage of bone healing 1

A

Due to tearing of blood vessels a blood clot forms in the defect
Contains necrotic bone and marrow
Haematoma extends in to soft tissue around the bone
Phagocytosis of debris

16
Q

Bone healing 2

A

Haematoma undergoes organisation (like exudate)
Associated with migration of neutrophils and macrophages
Followed by in growth of capillaries and fibroblasts-> fibrovascular granulation tissue
Osteoprogenitor cells develop from mesenchymal precursors

17
Q

Bone healing 3

A

Osteoprogenitor cells produce osteoblasts-> deposit large quantitiesd of osteoid collagen in a haphazard way-> calcifies to woven bone
External callous bridges the fracture outside the bone, may include cartilage
Internal callous bridges the fracture in the medullary cavity
Direct ossification between fracture ends occurs

18
Q

Bone healing 4

A

Woven bone is mechanically weak
Remodelling occurs one the two bone ends are bridged by a bonŷ callus-> takes months
Osteoclastic erosion and organised osteoclastic osteoid synthesis-> lamellar bone

19
Q

Bone healing 5

A

With time remodelling creates new lamellar trabecular bone
Orientated in direction determined by stress
Cortical irregularity, minor marrow space and muscle scar left
