the more damage there is the more must be replaced with collagen and not the native tissue. collagen is reformed into a scar

basement membrane of the underlying ECM is not in tact
Term
what are some of the down sides of scar tissue (2)
Definition
it is unable to perform the functions of the native tissue

it will never be more than 80% of the native tissue strength
Term
when does scar tissue begin to form
Definition
24 hours after the injury
Term
explain the process of scar formation (5)
Definition
endothelium and inflammatory cells (macrophages) release mediators to attract fibrobolasts

fibroblasts are stimulate to proliferate and deposit ECM and collagen

fibroblasts, deposited CT, and leukocytes make pink granular tissue

maturation and remodeling of fibrous tissue into collagen forms scar

scar is remodeled over time by matrix metalloproteins
Term
what mediators do macrophages use to call in fibroblasts (3)
Definition
PDGF, FGF, TGF-B
Term
what mediators stimulate for fibroblasts to proliferate
Definition
IL-1 and TNF
Term
matrix metalloproteinases: what is their function, what makes them
Definition
made by fibroblasts,epithelium, synovial joints.

break down protein (type III collagen) and replace it with type I collagen to reorganize the wound
Term
how do matrix metalloproteinases work, how do they stop working
Definition
dependent on zinc

stored inactivated and are activated by plasmin (splits clots to limit size)

inactivated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)
Term
what are type types of matelloproteinases, what do they do
Definition
stromelysins: break down proteoglycans, laminin, fibronectin

collagenases: break down collagen
Term
what are two types of abberations
Definition
hyperophic scar
keloid
Term
what is the cause of a kypertrophic scar
Definition
normal wound healing progresses to excessive accumulation of type I collagen
PGDF may have a role
Term
what is the cause of a keloid
Definition
scar tissue (type III collagen) grows beyond the boundries of a wound

keyloid fibroblasts have increased response to PDGF so this may be the cause
Term
what are the six steps in wound healing
Definition
1. acute inflammation
2. parenchymal cell regeneration if possible
3. migration and proliferation of parenchymal cells and CT
4. synthesis of ECM
5. remodeling parenchymal elements to restore tissue function
6. remodeling of CT to achieve wound strength
Term
primary goals of wound healing
Definition
heal focal disruption of epithelial cells
clean, disinfect
epithelial regeneration predominates over fibroblasts
Term
secondary goal of wound healing
Definition
cell or tissue loss like ulcers, abscesses, or large wounds form granulation tissue

ECM accumulation and scaring
Term
what are the differences between the primary and secondary goals of wound healing
Definition
secondary has
more intense inflammatory reactions: more necrosis, debris, exudate, fibrin
larger granulation tissue: fills gaps, provides framework
wound contraction: myofibrills contract and wound shrinks by 5-10% in 6 weeks
Term
first intention wound: aka, describe it, what are the main goals in healing this would
Definition
primary union

the edges of the wound line up well and the primay goals of healing are to disingect, clean, and regenerate epithelium (rather than insert fibrous tissue)
Term
secondary intention wound: aka, describt it, what are the main goals of healing in this woumd
Definition
secondary union

large gaps between wound edges
primary goal of healing is extension of granulation, ECM, scars, wound contraction
Term
in one week how strong is scar tissue? how long does it take for it to reach full strength, how strong is this?
Definition
10% strength in a week

70-80% max strength in 3 mo
Term
how is scar tissue strengthed (3)
Definition
collagen degredation and synthesis
switching from collagen III to collagen I
extracellular cross linking of collagen
Term
wound dehisence: define
Definition
wound fails to heal in closed position
Term
wound dehisence (5)
Definition
excessive tension on the wound leads to necrosis, decreased strength

electronic coagulation increases inflammatory response to necrotic tissue

removal of suturues to early

infection

trauma
Term
what are risk factors for wound dehisence (5)
Definition
>65 yo
hypoalbumenia
tobacco
corticosteroids
systemic infection
Term
list some disorders that cause issues with inflammation and repair (5) and breifly describe them
Definition
leukocyte adhesion deficiency: integrin deficiency causes problems with chemotaxis

chronic granulamatous disease: NADPH oxidase deficiency causes problem with killing bacteria and infection is the most important delay in wound healing

keloids: type III collagen overgrowth and no transformation to type I

vitamin C deficiency: hinders collagen synthesis

corticosteroids
Term
explain the role of fibrosis formation in chronic inflammation
Definition
continous stimulus keeps activating macrophages and leukocytes to release growth factor and cytokines to increase collagen and decrease metaloproteinase activity which causes fibrosis

people who have chronic inflammation are often on seroids and this decreases metaloproteinase activity too
