Q

Describe the regeneration process of STABLE tissue.

A

Stable tissue cells are quiescent (Go) BUT can exit and re-enter cell cycle to regenerate when necessary -> Re-enter quiescence

Q

What is the difference between GRANULOMA and GRANULATION TISSUE?

A

Granuloma = subtype of chronic inflammation (=Epithelioid histiocytes* + multinucleated giant cells/lymphocytic rim)

Granulation tissue = initial phase of REPAIR in wound healing (=Fibroblasts secreting Type III*collagen + Capillaries providing nutrients + Myofibroblasts contracting wound)

Q

Name two STABLE tissues.

A
  1. LIVER: Partial resection -> Hepatocytes exit quiescence -> Each hepatocyte produces additional cells -> Re-enter quiescence = COMPENSATORY HYPERPLASIA
  2. RENAL PCT: Takes some time for regeneration of this stable tissue. After ATN -> Pt requires dialysis for support until renal PCT fully regenerates

Q

Name 3 permanent tissues. Do permanent tissues undergo REGENERATION or REPAIR?

A

Permanent tissues undergo REPAIR (=fibrosis + scar) since they lack stem cells

  1. Myocardial muscle - POST-MI: White fibrotic scarring
  2. Skeletal muscle
  3. Neurons

Q

When are two circumstances that FIBROTIC SCAR REPAIR occur?

A
  1. When stem cells of LABILE or STABLE tissue are lost - e.g. deep skin cut (steak knife) to a point that stratum basalis is lost
  2. Healing of a PERMANENT TISSUE (e.g. myocardial muscle)

Q

What distinguishes GRANULATION TISSUE from SCAR formation?

A

Granulation tissue = initial phase of repair (Type III collagen)

Scar formation = eventually replaces granulation tissue (Type I collagen) by COLLAGENASE

19
Q

Where is Type III collagen found in? What is its function?

Study These Flashcards
A

BV + Granulation tissue + Embryonic Tissue + Uterus + Keloids
Provides pliability and flexibility

20
Q

Where is Type IV collagen found in?

Study These Flashcards
A

Basement membrane

21
Q

Mechanism of tissue regen/repair: What is TGF-alpha?

Study These Flashcards
A

FIBROBLAST and EPITHELIAL growth factor

22
Q

Mechanism of tissue regen/repair: What is TGF-beta?

Study These Flashcards
A

Fibroblast Growth factor + Anti-inflammatory

23
Q

Mechanism of tissue regen/repair: What is PDGF?

Study These Flashcards
A

Platelet-derived growth factor = Growth factor for ENDOTHELIUM + SMOOTH MUSCLE (BV) + FIBROBLASTS

24
Q

Mechanism of tissue regen/repair: What is FGF?

Study These Flashcards
A

Important for ANGIOGENESIS + Skeletal muscle dvlm/endochondral bone formation

25
Q

Mechanism of tissue regen/repair: What is VEGF?

Study These Flashcards
A

Vascular endothelial growth factor - Important for Angiogenesis

26
Q

What type of CUTANEOUS HEALING is the suturing of a surgical incision in the ER?

Study These Flashcards
A

PRIMARY INTENTION: Edges ARE approximated to fill the defect and have the skin heal on its own

27
Pt has a large wound healed by SECONDARY intention. 6wks later, you notice that the wound has significantly reduced in size. What is the mechanism of this size reduction?
MYOFIBROBLASTS of the granulation tissue Secondary intention- Edges are NOT approximated and defect is filled with granulation tissue (= BV + fibroblasts + myofibroblasts that contract the wound)
28
How does VitC Deficiency result in delayed, aberrant healing?
VitC = important co-factor of HYDROXYLASE that hydroxylates Pro/Lys residues necessary for cross-linking the collagen
29
What are 3 possible pathologies that result in DELAYED ABERRANT wound healing?
Deficiencies of Zn, VitC, and Cu
30
How does Zn Deficiency result in delayed, aberrant healing?
Zn = important co-factor of COLLAGENASE that replaces Type III collagen (secreted by myofibroblasts of granulation tissue) with Type I collagen (scar formation)
31
How does Cu Deficiency result in delayed, aberrant healing?
Cu = important co-factor of LYSYL oxidase that cross-links the hydroxylated Lys residue of collagen molecules to form STABLE TYPE I COLLAGEN
32
What is the most common cause of delayed, aberrant wound healing?
INFECTION - most commonly by S.aureus | Continued inflammation resulting in impaired wound healing
33
Pt is an African American** who recently got her ear pierced. She noticed a large tumor-like mass growing out of her earlobes. What does she have?
KELOID = Excessive granulation tissue formaiton during tissue repair (THICK PINK COLLAGEN BUNDLES on histology) Genetic predisposition to African Americans, Type III collagen Classically affects earlobes, face, UE
34
What are other causes of DELAYED aberrant wound healing?
1. Foreign body - Induces chronic inflammation and is a cuase of non-caseating granuloma formation 2. Ischemia - Lack of blood supply 3. Diabetes 4. Malnutrition - Lack of building blocks for wound healing
35
COMPLICATION 1 OF WOUND HEALING: What is it called when a wound ruptures? When does this most commonly occur?
DEHISCENCE | Most commonly after abdominal surgery
36
COMPLICATION 2 OF WOUND HEALING: What is it called when there is excess scar tissue localized to the wound? What collagen is it made of?
HYPERTROPHIC SCAR made of TYPE I COLLAGEN
37
COMPLICATION 3 OF WOUND HEALING: What is it called when there is excess production of scar tissue OUT OF PROPORTION to the wound? What collagen is it made of? Where is it most commonly found?
KELOID made of TYPE III COLLAGEN | Most commonly found in the EARLOBES
38
Which pathology is associated with type I collagen failure?
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
39
Which pathology is associated with type III collagen failure?
EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME Type 3 and 4 - Failure of granulation tissue, skin
40
Which pathology is associated with type IV collagen failure?
ALPORT SYNDROME (Failure of basement membrane)
