|
complications in wound healing?
|
-deficient scar formation
-excessive formation of repair components: keloid scars -formation of contractures - exaggerated contraction of wound |
|
|
systemic factors retarding wound healing
|
-nutrition: vitamin c
-metabolic status: diabetes -circulatory status: retarded venous drainage -hormones: glucocorticoids (inhibit collagen syn) |
|
|
local factors retarding wound healing
|
-infection
-mechanical -foreign bodies -size/location/type |
|
|
first intention
|
-clean, uninfected surgical incision
-re-epithelialization to close wound -thin scar |
|
|
second intention
|
-wound creates large defect on skin
-big loss cells/tissue -large scar |
|
|
Inflammation: involves? time?
|
-RBC + fibronectin + fibrin + complement components
-w/in 24 hrs |
|
|
granulation
|
-24-72 hrs into
-angiogenesis/proliferation of fibroblasts form gran tissue -more granulation tissue w/more intensity of wound/inflammation |
|
|
wound contraction
|
-w/large surface wounds
-myofibroblasts express smooth muscl alpha-actin -contract wound tissue |
|
|
fibroblast migration
|
-driven by chemokines/cytokines
-48-96 hrs in |
|
|
epithelialization
|
-close wound from dermis outward
-collagen fibrils bridge incision |
|
|
fibrosis
|
-excessive deposit of collagen/other ECM
-usually in chronic disease |
|
|
wound strength
|
-dependent on net collagen accumulation
-more tensile strength after 2 months + cross-linking |
