TISSUE RENEWAL/WOUND HEALING
Dr. ANAND
HEALING VS REPAIR
• Healing is body’s response to injury in an
attempt to restore normal structure and
function.
• It involves
• A. Regeneration
• B. Repair
• Regeneration is restoration to original tissue
by proliferation of parenchymal cells
• Repair is healing of proliferation of connective
tissue resulting in fibrosis and scaring
• WHAT ARE THE ORGANS IN THE BODY WHICH
REGENERATES
TYPES OF CELLS
TYPES OF CELLS IN BODY
• LIABLE CELLS— epidermis, endometrium,
blood cells
• STABLE CELLS--- decrease proliferation after
adolescence– bone cartilage, liver, pancreas
• PERMANENT CELLS– stop proliferation after
birth– neurons, skeletal mucles, cardiac
muscles
Why ??
• Each of these cells have separate wound
healing process
FACTORS
• CELL CYCLE SIGNALLING PATHWAYS[UBIQUINTIN
PATHWAYS]
• CDK
• ANGIOGENESIS[ Formation of new blood vessels]
• NEOVASCULARISATION– Formation of new blood
vessels
• GROWTH FACTORS-TGF, FGF, PDGF
• NEUTROPHILS
• MACROPHAGES
• PLASMA CELLS

HOW WOUND IS
STRENGTHENED??
• FIBROSIS HAS OCCURRED
• EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX COMPONENTS
• COLLAGEN
• FIBRONECTIN
• ELASTIC FIBRES
• PROTEOGLYCANS
REPAIR
• Repair is the replacement of injured tissue by
fibrous tissue.
• Two processes are involved in repair:
• 1. Granulation tissue formation; and
• 2. Contraction of wounds
• Repair response takes place by participation of
• mesenchymal cells (consisting of connective
tissue stem cells, fibrocytes and histiocytes),
endothelial cells,
• macrophages,
• platelets,
• parenchymal cells of the injured organ
STEP-1 BLOOD CLOT
• Clot is reffered as SCAB…. Forms as a barrier
of wound preventing microbial invasion
• Factors involved:
• - Transforming growth factors[TGF]
• -Platelet derived growth factors[PDGF]
• Source:: Platelets and plasma
Step-II Inflammation
• Neutrophils infiltrate the wound to remove the microbes
and necrotic debris
• Plasma derived fibronectin and neutrophil debris acts as
chemoattractants from macrophage and fibroblasts
• Macrophage eats neutrophil debris and release factors for
fibrogenesis and angiogenesis
• Factors: TGF
• Source: Neutrophils
III--Granulation tissue formation
• It is transient specialised organ of repair
• Composed of:
• Erythrocytes and fibroblasts
• Single cell lined capillaries
• Factors involved: FFG, TGF
• Source:: Macrophages , fibroblasts
IV– Fibroblast proliferation and matrix
accumulation
• 2 or 3 days after injury, fibroblasts start
secreting collagen
• 5-7 days later,, collagen is more in amount and
tightly grips the wound
• Source: macrophages, fibroblasts
STEP—V ANGIOGENEIS
i) Angiogenesis (neovascularisation). Formation of new
blood vessels at the site of injury takes place by
proliferation of endothelial cells from the margins of
severed blood vessels.
• Initially, the proliferated endothelial cells are solid buds but
within a few hours develop a lumen and start carrying
blood.
• The newly formed blood vessels are more leaky, accounting
for the oedematous appearance of new granulation tissue.
Soon, these blood vessels differentiate into muscular
arterioles, thin-walled venules and true capillaries
• FACTORS INVOLVED: Vascular endothelilal
growth factors[VEGF]
• Source Macrophages, monocytes
VI– WOUND CONTRACTION
– It is done by specialize type of fibroblasts called as
– MYOFIBROBLASTS[ MYO + FIBROBLASTS]
MF contains actin – contractile
Forms a tight junctions and contract leading to wound
contraction
Factors involved: TGF
Source: Platelets, macrophages
VII- Accretion of tensile strength and
remodelling
• Remodelling is done cross linking of collagen
fibres
• Occurs as wound site devascularies
• Factors; PDGF, FGF MMP
• Source: platelets, fibroblasts

GRANULATION TISSUE
• Granulation tissue= granular and pink
appearance
• Granule stands for histologically proliferation
of small sized blood vessels
• DOES GRANULATION TISSUE NORMALLY
PRESENT IN BODY??
• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
• GRANULATION TISSUE
VS
• BLOOD VESSEL
TYPES OF WOUND HEALING
• PRIMARY INTENTION
• SECONDARY INTENTION
• Healing by First Intention (Primary Union)
This is defined as healing of a wound which has the
• following characteristics:
• i) clean and uninfected;
• ii) surgically incised;
• iii) without much loss of cells and tissue; and
• iv) edges of wound are approximated by surgical
sutures.
• 1. Initial haemorrhage
• 2.Acute inflammatory response.-Neutrophils
• 3. Epithelial changes– Granulation tissue
• 4. Organisation- fibroblasts
• 5. Suture tracks- fibrous union
Healing by Second Intention
(Secondary Union
• This is defined as healing of a wound having the
following characteristics:
• i) open with a large tissue defect, at times
infected;
• ii) having extensive loss of cells and tissues; and
• iii) the wound is not approximated by surgical
sutures but is left open.
HEALING IN SPECIALISED
TISSUES
FRACTURE HEALING
• CALLUS FORMATION
• Fracture Healing
• Healing of fracture by callus formation
depends upon some
• clinical considerations whether the fracture is:
• traumatic (in previously normal bone), or
pathological (in previously diseased bone)
• Primary union of fractures occurs in a few
special situations when the ends of fracture
are approximated as is done by application of
compression clamps
• Secondary union is the more common process of fracture
healing. Though it is a continuous process,
Secondary bone union is described under the 3headings:
• i) Procallus formation
• ii) Osseous callus formation
• Remodelling
