Study Notes
Pathology of Repair
- Repair is the replacement of damaged tissue by new, healthy tissue.
Types of Repair
- Classical types:
- Regeneration: Replacing damaged tissue with the same type of tissue
- Fibrosis (Gliosis in CNS): Formation of scar tissue, especially in the central nervous system.
- Other types:
- Organization: Healing of dead or non-living material by granulation tissue, which matures into fibrous tissue
Determinants of Repair Type
- Type of damaged cells:
- Permanent cells: Do not proliferate. Repair by fibrosis (e.g., muscle, nerve).
- Stable cells: Can proliferate but have limited capacity. Repair by mixed regeneration and/or fibrosis (e.g., liver cells, kidney tubular cells, glands).
- Labile cells: Continuously dividing. Repair by regeneration (e.g., epidermis, mucous membranes, blood and lymphoid tissue).
- Supporting framework:
- If the framework remains intact, healing by regeneration occurs.
- If the framework is destroyed, the proliferating cells may display a disorganized pattern mixed with fibrosis.
Phases of Healing
- Cleaning phase: Necrotic debris removal by phagocytic cells.
- Proliferation phase: Repair cells proliferate to replace damaged ones.
- Remodeling phase: The new tissue matures to resemble the original tissue.
Healing by Regeneration
- Definition: Replacement of damaged tissue with healthy tissue of the same kind.
- Cells healing by regeneration: Labile and stable cells (with intact framework).
- Example in skin: Epidermis damage only—regeneration; epithelium & sub-epithelium damage—fibrosis.
- Example in liver: Intact framework—regeneration; destroyed framework—cirrhosis.
Healing by Fibrosis (Gliosis in CNS)
- Definition: Damaged tissue replaced by granulation tissue that matures into fibrous tissue.
- Mechanism:
- Capillaries (neo-vascularization).
- Fibroblasts secrete collagen.
- Fate:
- Collagen fibers reorganization
- Fibroblasts change into fibrocytes.
- Formation of avascular, strong fibrous tissue (scar).
- Examples: Muscle damage (e.g., myocardial infarction), nerve/neuron damage (CNS).
Healing by Organization
- Definition: Healing of dead or non-living material by granulation tissue followed by fibrous tissue.
- Examples: Thrombus, fibrin in sero-fibrinous inflammation.
Healing of Skin Wounds
- Primary union (first intention): Clean incisional wounds; minimal tissue destruction and approximated edges. Characteristics: rapid healing, small scar, complications are rare.
- Secondary union (second intention): Gaping wounds, septic wounds, or abscesses. Characteristics: slow healing, large scar, complications more frequent.
Complications of Repair
- Too little repair: Ulcer, sinus, fistula, weak scar, incisional hernia, fibrous union of bone (pseudo-arthrosis).
- Excessive repair: Excessive granulation tissue, excessive scar tissue, squamous cell carcinoma (rare).
Factors Affecting Repair
- Local factors: Blood supply, foreign bodies, hematoma, infection, cell type, wound size.
- Systemic factors: Age, nutritional status, presence of debilitating diseases, medication.
