Study Notes
Fibrous Healing and Repair
- The process of healing involves two main tissue processes: regeneration and repair.
- Regeneration is the replacement of damaged tissue with identical tissue, while repair involves the formation of scar tissue.
- Different cells have varying abilities to regenerate
- Some cells can regenerate, some can repair, some cannot do either
- Different types of cells are involved in these processes
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Explain the differences between regeneration and repair as a consequence of injury
- Explain the key stages involved in repair and the processes occurring in different tissues like muscle tissues.
Regeneration and Repair
- Two tissue processes are initiated following injury.
- Both processes are responsible for the re-establishment of the structure and function of damaged tissues.
Cell Types Classified by Ability to Regenerate
- The presentation details cell types and their ability to regenerate.
Healing by Primary and Secondary Intention
-
Primary Intention:
- Occurs in wounds where the edges are close together.
- Usually faster than secondary intention.
- Results in minimal scarring.
-
Secondary Intention:
- Occurs in wounds with non-opposed edges.
- Healing happens from the bottom up.
- Involves significant tissue loss or damage.
- Formation of fibrovascular connective tissue (fibrous scar tissue).
Repair - 4 Phases
- The healing process typically involves four phases: Hemostasis, Inflammation, Proliferation, and Remodeling.
Repair - 4 Phases: Detailed Description
-
Hemostasis: (Few hours)
- Platelet aggregation
- Fibrin clot formation
- Leukocyte migration
- Removal of foreign particles and bacteria
-
Inflammation: (1-6 days)
- Chemoattractant release
- Phagocytosis
- Removal of foreign particles and bacteria
-
Proliferation: (4-21 days)
- Provisional ECM synthesis
- Fibroblast proliferation
- Granulation tissue formation
- Re-epithelialization
-
Remodeling/Maturation: (3 weeks to 2 years)
- Type I collagen accumulation
- Crosslinking of collagen
- Scar tissue formation
- Increase in tensile strength
Inflammatory Phase
- Leukocytes (WBCs) enter the wound (includes neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages)
- Macrophages phagocytose damaged tissue & bacteria
- Release of proteases (enzymes) breaking down necrotic tissue
- Release of cytokines to regulate new tissue formation
- Release of matrix metalloproteinases to assist in clearing damaged extracellular matrix
- Growth factors activate cells involved in the inflammatory process
Proliferation/Rebuilding Phase
- New tissue is regenerated and constructed by fibroblasts responsible for blood vessels, collagen and connective tissues.
- Capillaries join together forming a scaffold.
- This develops into granulation tissue filling the wound cavity.
- Granulation tissue will change colour as new blood vessels develop.
Remodeling Phase
- This phase lasts 21 days to 2 years.
- Epithelial cells from hair follicles, glands and around wound edges move over newly formed granulation tissue, contracting to pull edges together.
- Macrophages reorganize collagen within the newly healed area forming a scar
- Key fact: Macrophages reorganize collagen within the newly healed wound to form a scar.
Muscle Healing and Repair - 3 Stages
-
Stage 1: Muscle degeneration and inflammation
- Muscle damage leads to degeneration and inflammation
- Satellite cells become activated
- These cells secrete growth factors like IGF-1 and HGF.
- This activation and proliferation of satellite cells promotes muscle regeneration
-
Stage 2: Muscle regeneration
- Myoblasts from satellite cells fuse to form myotubes.
- These myotubes participate in repairing existing muscle fibres
-
Stage 3: Muscle fibrosis
- Presence of TGF-B1 at injury site.
- Fibroblast deposition and ECM deposition.
- Scar tissue formation.
Satellite cells in Muscle Healing
- Muscle fiber damage triggers dormant satellite cells to activate.
- They proliferate and create new dormant satellite cells and differentiated myoblasts.
- Myoblasts either form a new fiber or patch the existing one.
- Cells from elsewhere, such as bone marrow, can also be involved.
Repair Phase - Two Phases
- Regeneration of disrupted myofibres
- Formation of connective tissue scar by fibrin and fibronectin.
- Scar tissue strength and anchoring to allow fibroblast invasion.
- Satellite cell proliferation into myoblasts.
- New myoblasts fusing with injured myofibres.
Remodeling
- Detailed description of the stages in remodelling based on the slides provided
- The images illustrate how connective tissue scar forms, and how the muscle tissue is virtually fused together.
Recap
- Questions to consider:
- What's the difference between repair and regeneration?
- Explain healing by primary and secondary intention?
- Describe the four stages of wound healing?
- Describe the three stages of muscle healing?
