Chronic Inflammation Healing and Repair
Tissue damage.1
Cytokines infl. 2
Macrophages
fibroblasts
Fibrosis Angiogenesis
- Tissue destruction.
Evidence of repair: Granulation tissue and
fibrosis
Role of Macrophages
Functions:
– Phagocytosis.
– Microbial killing.
– Cytokines production.
– Antigen presentation
Formation of granulation tissue
- Highly vascular tissue composed of newly
formed blood vessels (i.e., angiogenesis) and
activated fibroblasts
Essential
for normal wound healing
Converted into scar tissue
Granulation tissue
.Types of chronic infl
Non -specific.
Specific ( granulomatous):
Granuloma Thick wall
Sinus Ulcer
Granulomatous inflammation
Specialized type of chronic inflammation
Causes
–Infections
Examples-tuberculosis and systemic fungal infection (e.g.,
histoplasmosis)
–Noninfectious causes
Examples-sarcoidosis and Crohn's disease
Cell types
–Epithelioid cells (activated macrophages), mononuclear (round cell)
infiltrate .
–Multinucleated giant cells formed by fusion of epithelioid cells
Granulomatous inflammation
Granuloma:
collection of macrophage/
epithelioid cells & giant cells ;
surrounded by lymphocytes and
plasma cells with fibroblasts and
collagen.
Mechanism of granuloma
Injury
Bacterium(TB), fungus , FB
Tuberculosis
Syphilis
Sarcoid
Tuberculoid leprosy
Aspergillus granuloma.
Foreign body granulomas
Schistosomiasis
Healing, Regeneration and
Repair
Tissue Repair
•Tissue repair refers to replacement of lost tissue.
•Outcomes
of injury include Repair and
Regeneration
Repair of tissues involves
two distinct processess
REGENERATION:
Replacement by cells of the same type
Usually no trace of damage
REPAIR:
Replacement by fibrous/ connective tissue
Scar tissue formation (FIBROSIS)
Extracellularmatrix organization,
reorganization, and remodeling
Cell proliferation
Cells that Migrate to the
Wound
•Polymorphonuclear leukocytes
•Macrophages
•Epithelial cells
•Stem cells
Mechanism of Healing
U RY Soluble Interaction
Y
IN mediators with ECM
Cell migration
Proliferation
Differentiation
Matrix formation
Healing
Factors Involved in Tissue
Repair
Function(s) Factor
Growth Factors
Stimulates angiogenesis Vascular endothelial cell growth factor
(VEGF)
Stimulates angiogenesis Basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF)
Stimulates keratinocyte migration Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
Stimulates granulation tissue formation
Stimulates proliferation of smooth muscle, Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
fibroblasts, endothelial cells
Hormones
Stimulates synthesis of collagen Insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1)
Promotes keratinocyte migration
Interleukins (IL)
Chemotactic for neutrophils IL-1
?To heal OR to repair
Severity of damage(defect).
Type of tissue
TYPES OF TISSUES
Several types of tissue may be identified according to
whether proliferation or function predominates:
Labile tissue:
High regenerative capaility
Quiescent tissue:
Highly adaptable,regenerate after cell death
Liver and renal epithelia
Exocrine and endocrine epithelia
Connective and supporting tissue
Smooth muscle cells
Permanent tissue:
•No regenerative capability
Physiologic Regeneration
Definition: Replacement of cells or tissues during
the course of normal “wear and tear.”examples:
•Replacement of deciduous teeth by permanent
•dentition.
Essential
for normal wound healing
Converted into scar tissue
Granulation tissue
Factors delaying healing
Local factors
– Ischemia.
– Infection
– Foreign bodies
– Radiation , movement.
Systemic :factors -
– Malnutrition, deficiency.
– immunity.
– Old age
- Diabetes mellitus.
– Hypercortisolism
Complications of healing
1. Infections
2. Wound adhesion.
3. Keloid formation.
4. Incisional hernia
5. Epidermoid cysts.

Fracture Healing: Steps
1. Heamatoma.
2. Inflammation / demolition
3. Granulation tissue.
4. Callus formation
5. Union of fracture gap
6. Remodeling
Complications
Early:-
– Bleeding and hypovolemic shock
– Fat embolism
– Avsculer necrosis
– Infections
Late
– Delayed union
– Mal union
– An union
