Study Notes
Wound Healing and Repair
- Wound healing is the restoration of tissue architecture and function after an injury.
- It's crucial for survival, eliminating the cause of injury (e.g., pathogens, toxins, or autoimmune complexes).
- Healing aims to restore the structure and function to normal.
- Terms like repair, regeneration, restoration, and restitution describe the process.
- A damaged tissue is considered a wound.
Elements of Tissue Repair
- Cells: Crucial components of tissue repair.
- Cytokines and Growth Factors (GFs): Proteins that control healing.
- Extracellular matrix (ECM): A network of proteins supporting healing.
Session Objectives
- Review wound healing (tissue repair) background and definition.
- Identify cells, growth factors, and ECM in tissue repair.
- Explain healing mechanisms (i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary intention).
- Understand scar formation processes.
- Analyze factors impacting wound repair.
- Summarize examples of dysfunctional wound repair.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will describe the pathophysiology of wound healing and repair.
- Osteoporosis case studies are included.
Types of Healing
- Primary intention: Minor, clean incisions where tissue edges are close together. Healing is relatively fast, with minimal scarring.
- Secondary intention: Larger wounds, with edges not approximated, leading to more extensive scarring and a longer healing process.
- Tertiary Intention: Wounds that are cleansed, debrided, and left open for healing. Healing occurs as edges are reapproximated, resulting in more scarring than primary intention wounds.
Stages of Wound Repair
- Inflammation (Day 0-2): Initial response to injury, characterized by bleeding, coagulation, complement activation, and granulocyte/macrophage activity.
- Proliferation (Day 3-5): Cellular proliferation to rebuild structures, including new blood vessels (angiogenesis), collagen synthesis, and epithelialization.
- Remodeling (Day 7 onward): Maturation and strengthening of the tissues. Scar tissue formation occurs.
Angiogenesis
- Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels.
- Growth factors, such as VEGF, FGF-2, PDGF, and TGF-β, are critical for angiogenesis, and are part of tissue healing.
- Inflammation causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and increased permeability, supporting the formation of new blood vessels.
Granulation Tissue
- Seen as a pink, moist tissue within wounds, granulation tissue contains new blood vessels and migrating cells.
- It's indicative of active tissue repair and healing.
Scar Formation
- Involves the laying of connective tissue and remodeling.
- Myofibroblasts play a vital role in wound contraction. The balance of collagen breakdown and synthesis determines scar appearance.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
- Tissue type
- Wound contamination / infection
- Age
- Nutrition (e.g., vitamin C, protein)
- Vascular supply / blood flow
- Denervation (nerve damage)
- Co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes, immunosuppression)
- Steroids
Dysfunctional Wound Healing
- Examples of problems include secondary infection, excessive granulation tissue (proud flesh), wound dehiscence, delayed wound healing, hypertrophic scars, keloids, and wound contractures.
Healing of Special Structures
- The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has primary intention healing for erosions and a mix of primary/secondary for ulcers.
- The liver's healing is dependent on preserving the ECM, with secondary healing if the ECM is disrupted.
- Fractures can have problems like malunion or nonunion.
Interactive Activity
- Simulation activities to identify wound types and healing responses.
Case Studies
- Pictures and examples of various wound types.
- Case studies demonstrating outcomes of diverse wound healing scenarios are incorporated.
Additional Considerations
- VAC therapy for wound dehiscence management.
- Proper wound assessment and appropriate interventions are crucial for optimal results.
- Consult appropriate healthcare professionals for detailed information.
