34
Limited scleroderma autoantibody
Anti-centromere
35
Diffuse scleroderma findings
Widepsread skin involvement with rapid progression
36
What is anti Scl 70
Anti DNA topo I
37
General principle to determine which tissues repair and which regenerate
Tissues that are labile will regenerate (occasionally stable) Permanent tissue will repair
38
3 Granulation tissue components (red and granular in gross)
Fibroblasts Proliferating blood vessels Myofibroblasts
39
Type 1 collagen is found in which 4 structures
Bone Skin (delayed wound healing) Tendon Fascia
40
Type 2 collagen is found in 3 structures
Cartilage (hyaline included)- in Osteoarthritis Vitreous body Nucleus pulposus
41
Type III collagen found in 4 structures
Reticulin (skin, blood vessels, uterus, granulation tissue)
42
Type III collagen deficiency is found in which disease
Ehler Danlos (visceral rupture)
43
Type IV collagen found in 3 structures
Basement Membrane Basal Lamina Lens
44
Function of fibroblasts in wound healing
Lay down type III collagen
45
Collagen difference between granulation tissue and scar
``` Granulation = 3 Scar = 1 ```
46
Cell type that contracts the wound
Myofibroblasts
47
Importance of Vitamin C in wound healing
Cofactor for hydroxylation of proline and lysine
48
Vitamin C deficiency results in
Failure of collagen cross linking
49
Keloid collagen type
Type I, III
50
Steps of healing
Hemostasis Phase. Hemostasis is the process of the wound being closed by clotting. ... Inflammatory Phase. ... Proliferative Phase. ... Maturation Phase
51
Organ findings in septic shock (or any shock)
Lung- ARDS- what it is the composition of the hyaline membrane? Brain- Laminar cortical necrosis Kidnet- tombstone appearance
52
Integrin function
Integrins interact with the extracellular matrix proteins (e.g., fibronectin) and the epithelium
53
Fibronectin function
Adhesive glycoproteins such as fibronectin help to maintain a cellular scaffolding for growth and repair, but they do not contract, early to develop.
54
DM why delayed healing (similat with abundant farry food intake)
glycosylation of ECM, reduced cross linking
55
Starvation (shipwreck) and Vit C deficiency- why delayed healing
deficiency of collagen and Failure of collagen cross-linking
56
The most important cell in healing
macrophage
57
Example of resolution
Lobar pneumonia
58
Compensatory hyperplasia see in...
Liver
59
Phases of healing
hemostasis (1 - 24h) inflammation (1 - 5d) proliferation (4 - 21d) granulation tissue (newly laid collagen with neovascularization) forms epithelialization occurs from surrounding basal keratinocytes and hair follicle basal cells maturation (21d to up to 7/8 weeks depending on the tissue) type III collagen remodeled to type I collagen vessels mature and excess vasculature involutes erythema and raised appearance of wound resolves
60
Why complete regeneration occur in Hepatitis A infection
Because 1) stromal tissues (ECM) are not damaged and 2) because of hepatocyte beling Stable cell in HAV infection! only cells die...they regenerate without fibrosis! The type and extent of tissue injury affects the subsequent repair. Complete restoration can occur only in tissues composed of stable and labile cells; even then, extensive injury will probably result in incomplete tissue regeneration and at least partial loss of function. Injury to tissues composed of permanent cells must inevitably result in scarring with, at most, attempts at functional compensation by the remaining viable elements. Such is the case with healing of a myocardial infarct.
61
Wound Strength after repair
approximately 70-80% of the strength of normal skin
62
Wound strength with stuture is removed (1 week)?
When sutures are removed, usually at 1 week, wound strength is approximately 10% of that of unwounded skin, but this increases rapidly over the next 4 weeks.
63
Growth factors for angiogenesis
VGEF (the Notch signaling pathway ), PDGF, Basic FGF
64
.................... stimulates fibroblast migration and proliferation, increased synthesis of collagen and fibronectin
TGF-β
65
The degradation of collagens and other ECM components is accomplished by a family of......................
matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)>A family of enzymes related to MMPs is called ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase seen in TTP).
66
The skin blister resulting from a burn represents the accumulation of ...........................
serous fluid (due to direct endothelial injury)
67
Morphology: fibrinous exudate ?
Histologically, fibrin appears as an eosinophilic meshwork of threads or sometimes as an amorphous coagulum
68
Examples: fibrinous exudate
Peritonitis, Acute pericarditis, Uremia carditis
69
Purulent inflammation is characterized by...................
the production of pus, an exudate consisting of neutrophils, the liquefied debris of necrotic cells, and edema fluid
70
Abscesses are ..............................
localized collections of purulent inflammatory tissue caused by suppuration buried in a tissue, an organ, or a confined space (liquefactive necrosis) surrounded by granulation tissue.
71
Suppurative inflammation
A type of purulent inflammation. Pus leaks out. Usually by an infection with bacteria that cause liquefactive tissue necrosis, such as staphylococci; these pathogens are referred to as pyogenic (pus-producing) bacteria. A common example of an acute suppurative inflammation is acute appendicitis
72
Empyema
The collection of pus in a cavity in the body, especially in the pleural cavity.
73
Marphan defect?
Fibrillin gene, elastic tissue
