Study Notes
- Fibronectin: protein produced by fibroblasts, chemotypeic for macrophages, anchors fibroblasts in the provisional matrix (mostly fibronectin and hyaluronic acid)
- Wound healing timeline: Days 0-2 dominated by PMNs, Days 3-4 by macrophages, Days 5 and on by fibroblasts
- Platelet plug: formed by platelets and fibrin during the hemostasis phase
- Epithelial integrity is crucial for open wound healing (secondary intention)
- Granulation tissue formation and secretion of proteins like collagen essential for wound healing
- Unepithelialized wounds can leak proteins and promote bacteria
- Tensile strength: most important factor for closed incisions (primary intention) dependant on collagen deposition and cross-linking
- Suture removal: 1 week for the face, 2 weeks for other areas, delayed primary closure may prevent infection
- Submucosa: strength layer of bowel, weakest time point for small bowel anastomosis is 3-5 days
- Myofibroblasts: smooth muscle cell–fibroblasts involved in wound contraction and healing by secondary intention communicate via gap junctions
- Collagen: several subtypes, Type I most common (primary collagen in a healed wound), Type III predominant during proliferation, collagen synthesis requires oxygen, vitamin C, zinc, and alpha-ketoglutarate
- Wound healing impairments: bacteria, devitalized tissue, cytotoxic drugs, diabetes, vitamin C deficiency (scurvy), steroids, wound ischemia, and disease-related conditions (e.g., Marfan's syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum)
- Platelet granules: alpha granules contain coagulation factors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), beta-thrombomodulin binds thrombin, dense granules contain adenosine, serotonin, and calcium
- Platelet aggregation factors: TXA2, thrombin, platelet factor 4.
