There are four general components of repair by fibrosis, what are they?
-Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis)
-Migration and proliferation of fibroblasts
-Deposition of ECM
-Maturation and reorganization of fibrous tissue
Repair begins within _____ hours?
24 hours
Repair by Fibrosis causes emigration of fibroblasts and endothelial cell proliferation. By 2-5 days, what tissue is present?
At 3-5 days, granulation tissue is apparent,
Appearance of granulation tissue is characterized by:
-Proliferation of fibroblasts
-macrophages
-myofibroblasts with contractile actin
Histologically compare Granulation tissue to a healed (scarred) myocardial infarction.
Granulation tissue has myofibroblasts with pinkish type 3 collagen.

A healed scare will be avascular, with dense CT (dense fibrosis)
Blood vessels are assembed by what two processes?
1.) Vasculogenesis: assembed from angioblasts during embryonic development

2.) angiogenesis:
-preexisting vessels send out sprouts to make new vessels
The four general steps in new capillary vessel development are :
1.) proteolytic degradation of parent vessell BM
2.) Endothelial cell migration toward an angiogenic stimulus.

What are the last two steps?
3.) Proliferation of endothelial cells behind leading edge

4.) Maturation of endothelial cells; including recruitment of pericytes and smooth muscle cells for support.
New vessels are leaky due to incomplete interendothelial junctions. The most important factors that induce angiogenesis are:
1.) basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)

2.) Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
What do angiogenic factors like bFGF and VEGF cause?
-proliferation
-endothelial cells to secrete proteinases to degrade BM
-endothelial cell migration
-direct vascular tube formation
Regarding angiogenesis, structural ECM proteins regulate ______________ while nonstructural ECM proteins ______________.
structural ECM proteins regulate vessel sprouting via integrins

Nonstructural ECM proteins:
-destabilize cell-ECM interactions and also facilitate cell migration via thrombospondin and tenascin C
Angiogenesis starts with little capillary buds with no lumen. Describe the growth of a BV.
Capillary "bud-cells" begin migrating outwards and proximal cells b/g dividing. Eventually, migrating cells form arcades with other migrating cells in the middle and the bud acquires a lumen. Finally, smooth muscle comes along and adheres to the outside.
Fibrosis (scar formation) builds on what type of tissue?
builds on granulation tissue framework of new vessels and loose ECM.
What are the two steps of fibrosis?
1.) emigration and proliferation of fibroblasts into site of injury.

2.) deposition of ECM by these cells
Recruitment and stimulation of fibroblasts are driven by what three Growth factors?
1.) Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)
2.) bFGF
3.) TGF-B
During scar formation these cells are important because they elaborate growth factors and other medaiators that induce fibroblast proliferation.
Mononuclear cells (specifically Macrophages)

No neutrophils because the wound is clean by now.
Collagen synthesis is critical to development of strength in would healing. What makes collagen and when?
Fibroblasts begin making collagen early (3-5 days) and continues for weeks.
Collagen synthesis is induced by what 3 molecules?
1.) Growth factors (PDGF, bFGF, and TGF-B)
2.) cytokines (IL-1)
3.) tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
Granulations tissue is used as a scaffold to make a scar which is composed of what materials?
Inactive fibroblasts and collagen
Bacterial produces or other immune complexes activate macrophages to secrete _______ and ________. These initiate fever, endothelial cell effects, fibroblasts proliferation and other cytokine secretion.
IL-1/TNF
Degradation of collagens and other ECM components occurs by metalloproteinases. There are three important classes:
1.)interstitial collagenases
cleave fibrillar col I, II, III

2.) gelatinases (type IV) collagenases) that degrade amorphous col and fibronectin.

3.) stromelysins:
-variety of ECM such as
proteoglycans, laminin, fibronectin or amorphous collagen.
Degradation of scar or "scar remodeling" is mainly controlled by what enzyme class?
Metalloproteinases
Activated collagenases (metalloproteinases) can be rapidly inhibited by:
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs)

These prevent the collagenases from overchewing collagen
Metalloproteinases are made by fibroblasts, macrophages and neutrophils and are regulated by:
-growth factors
-cytokines
-phagocytosis

Inhibited by TGF-B
inhibited by steroids
Since metalloproteinases are inactive, they must first be activated by:
-chemicals (HOCl. radical)
-Proteases(plasmin)
Healing by first intention or primary union is healing of clean uninfected incision that causes only focal disruption of BM. What type of generation is occuring?
Epithelial regerneration predominates over fibrosis.
Within 24 hours of first intention healing, what is happening?
-neutrophils at incision margin migrating toward the fibrin clot.
-Basal cells at incision margin exhibit an increase in mitotic activity.
Within 48 hours of first intention healing, what is happening?
Epithelial cells proliferate and deposit basement membrane components and cells meet in midline beneath the scab in a thin but continuous epithelial layer.
Day 3 of first intention healing, what is happening?
-Macrophages replaced neutrophils
-Granulation tissue invades incision space
-collagen fibers are evident at incision margins
-Fibers are vertically oriented and do not bridge incision
-epithelia thickens and epidermal covering layer.
Day 5 of first intention healing, what is happening?
-Neovascularization stops
-collagen increases and bridges incision
-epidermis recovers its normal thickness
-surface keratinization
During the second week of healing by first intention, collagen continues to accumulate and you have increase fibroblasts. What three things are diminished?
WBC's, edema and vascularity
What is blanching?
Increasing collagen deposition and regression of blood vessels; Mature scar.
At what time during the healing by first intention is a scar
1.)devoid of WBCs and covered by epidermis
2.)dermal appendages destroyed by incision are lost*
3.) Tensile strength of the wound increases with time
End of the first month
Not a questions!!
Not a question
This is a type of wound healing caused by cell or tissue loss, infarction, inflammatory ulceration, abscess or large wounds.
Second Intention
healing by second intention is more complex because parenchymal cells alone cannot heal; how is healing done?
Healing is by regeneration and fibrosis;

There is more granulation tissue but bulk of wound is fibrosis
Second intention healing differs from First intention healing in several ways:
1.)Non-opposed wound margins
2.) Large tissue defects have a more necrotic debris, exudate and fibrin
what is 3 and 4?
3.) More granulation tissue
4.)Myofibroblasts-->wound contraction within 6 weeks
What is the single most important cause of delay in healing?
Infection

Glucocorticoids can also delay wound healing b/c of anti-inflammatory effects
What are the facts that interfere with repair:
1.) Infection
2.)Nutrition
3.) Glucocorticoids (steroids)
what other 3 things?
4.) Mechanical
5.)Poor perfusion
6.) Foreign bodies
What are keloids?
-accumulation of collagen
-hereditary in blacks and asians
Exuberant granulation (proud flesh) is:
Excessive granulation tissue
-abnormal cell growth and ECM production
-hinders re-epithelialization
-Cautery or surgical resection is necessary for restoration of epithelial continuity.
