|
|
Term
What factor causes macrophages to stay close together and form a granuloma? |

|
Definition
1) Foreign body type
2) Langhans type - seen in TB and sarcoid
Multinucleated giant cells have enhanced phagocytic activity, but a short lifespan :(. |
|

Term
What is the timeline for wound healing? |
|
Definition
Initial: clot/scab
1-3 days: acute inflammation (PMNs)
3-5: macrophages replace neutrophils
1 week: granulation tissue, fibroblasts
1-4 weeks: more scar, less granulation tissue
2-3 months: remodeling of scar |
|
|
Term
What are the two ways granulation tissue is stimulated to grow? Which is the major way? |
|
Definition
1) Endothelial precursor cell (EPC) migration
EPC migrate from bone marrow to site of injury --> stimulate wound to grow towards intact vessels
2) Pre-existing blood vessel growth
Intact blood vessels are stimulated by growth factors (e.g. VEGF) to grow towards wound
Major way: pre-existing BV growth |
|
|
Term
True or false: All cells of the epidermis regenerates. |
|
Definition
False.
Sweat glands, hair follicles, melanocytes do no regenerate --> Scars lack pigment |
|
|
Term
At what day after injury is the tensile strength of a tissue at a minimum? Why not day zero? |
|
Definition
Day 4.
At the beginning fibrous clot provides some tensile strength. At day 4, macs and neutrophils are busy phagocytosing and eats some of the fibrin clot. |
|
|
Term
MMP is produced by fibroblasts in response to what cytokine? What does MMP do? What cytokine responds by inhibiting MMP? |
|
Definition
MMP produced to inhibit IL-1.
MMP breaks down collagen.
TGF-beta inhibits MMP |
|
|

|
Definition
Too much:
- Strictures
- keloid (tumor-like)
- Exuberant granulation tissue
Too little:

- Sinus tracts
- Dehiscence (wound pulls apart, 4 days after MI) |
