Study Notes
Healing and Repair
- Healing is the body's response to injury, aiming to restore normal structure and function.
- Repair involves removing or destroying the harmful agent.
- Regeneration replaces damaged components, returning tissue to a normal state.
- Regeneration occurs through cell proliferation.
- Repair involves connective tissue proliferation leading to fibrosis and scarring.
- Repair can involve both regeneration and repair simultaneously.
Proliferative Potential of Cells
- Cells are classified by their ability to proliferate.
- Labile cells continuously divide throughout life. Examples are stem cells from the epidermis, bone marrow, and the lining of the intestines. These cells regenerate easily after injury.
- Stable cells lose their proliferative ability after adolescence. However, they can divide in response to stimuli. Examples include parenchyma cells from the liver, kidney, pancreas, bone, and cartilage.
- Permanent cells lose their ability to proliferate after birth. Examples include neurons, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle.
Growth Factors
- Growth factors are proteins stimulating cell survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
- Growth factors promote cell division and survival.
- They act as signaling molecules, influencing cell entry into the cell cycle and protein synthesis for mitosis.
- Signaling mechanisms include autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine.
Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
- ECM is a complex protein network surrounding cells, forming a significant portion of tissues.
- Tissue repair depends on growth factors and interactions between cells and ECM components.
- ECM components include:
- Fibrous structural proteins (collagen and elastin) providing tensile strength and recoil
- Water-hydrated gels (proteoglycans and hyaluronan) providing hydration and swelling pressure for tissue
- Adhesive glycoproteins (integrins, fibronectin, and laminin connecting ECM elements to each other and cells)
- ECM components form interstitial matrices in spaces between epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells and in connective tissue.
- The basement membrane is produced by epithelial and mesenchymal cells and is closely associated with cell surfaces. It consists of amorphous non-fibrillar collagen, laminin, heparan sulfate, proteoglycan, and other glycoproteins.
Wound Healing Process
- Wound healing is a dynamic process with four overlapping phases:
- Hemostasis
- Inflammation
- Proliferation/migration
- Remodeling/maturation
- Interruptions or prolongations in the process contribute to delayed or chronic wound healing.
Stages of Wound Healing
- Hemostasis begins immediately after injury, involving vascular constriction, platelet plug formation, blood clot formation, and fibrous tissue growth into the clot to close and permanently seal the hole in the vessel.
- Inflammatory phase: Platelet activation triggers inflammatory cells (neutrophils, monocytes, and fibroblasts) within 1-2 days influenced by PMNs; these cells deposit on a fibrin scaffold; the PMNs are removed through apoptosis. Cytokines (IL-1a, IL-6, and TNF-α) mediate the inflammatory response and prevent infection. Macrophages transform from monocytes and play a role in clearing debris. This phase lasts 4 days.
- Proliferation/migration: The wound rebuilds with new tissue made of collagen and extracellular matrix. This phase involves re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. Endothelial cells migrate on day 2 stimulated by growth factors like VEGF and FGF and angiopoietin.
- Remodeling/maturation: The wound transition from granulation tissue to scar involves changes in extracellular matrix composition. The collagen and ECM are modified and remodeled over several years and are rearranged for increased tensile strength.
Wound Closure Intentions
- Skin wound healing involves epithelial regeneration and connective scar formation.
- Based on nature and size of wound, healing occurs through:
- Primary intention (quick healing in clean, small wounds closed with sutures or adhesives)
- Secondary intention (healing in larger, open wounds or those with extensive tissue loss or contamination)
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
- Local factors (e.g., infection, blood supply, foreign bodies, mechanical stress, tissue type, size, and location of injury) and systemic factors (e.g., age, nutrition, systemic infections, diabetes, smoking, medications).
Complications of Wound Healing
- Deficient scar formation, excessive scar formation (hypertrophic or keloid), and formation of contractures.
- Dehiscence, osteomyelitis, neoplasia are associated as complications of wound healing.
Summary
- Healing is a complex process involving multiple factors and a sequential series of events.
- Healing occurs through primary and secondary intentions and cellular processes like proliferation and remodeling.
