2. INFLAMMATION AND REPAIR
DEFINITIONS
INFLAMMATION
Localresponse of living tissues to any insult, in
order to eliminate or limit the spread of the insulting
agent , and to remove the resulting dead cells and
tissues
REPAIR
Response of the body to restore normal structure and
function
2
15. REGULATORS OF INFLAMMATION
Acute phase proteins
C-reactive protein
Alpha antitrypsin
Corticosteroids
Suppressor T cells
Chemical mediators like prostaglandins

18. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Mononuclear infiltrate / tissue destruction
/granulation tissue
Types:
Nonspecific
Granulomatous
Monocyte / Macrophage is the cell of
Chronic inflamation
18
19. SITUATIONS LEADING TO
CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Persistent infection
delayed hyperensitivity, granulomas
TB, Syphilis, fungal
Prolonged exposure to toxins
Silica (exo), atheroma (endo)
Autoimmuniy
RA, LE
19
22. Types of healing
Regeneration: proliferation of parenchymal cells and
restoration of original tissues
Repair: replacement of injured tissue by fibrous
tissue
Factors affecting:
Nature of tissue
Presence of stromal network
22
23. TYPE OF CELLS
Labile cells : skin,bone marrow, lymph nodes
Stable cells : parenchymal cells, mesenchymal cells
Permanent cells : neurons, cardiac and skeletal
muscle
23
24. PROCESSES IN HEALING
Acute inflammation
Angiogenesis
Proliferation of parenchymal
cells / fibroblasts
Formation of granulation
tissue
Formation of ECM
Wound strengthening
Wound contraction

26. CLINICAL TYPES OF HEALING
By primary intention
By secondary intention

SCAR Strong Weak
27
28. TIME FRAME OF WOUND HEALING
immediate Fibrin clot and scab formation
6 hrs Neutrophilic infiltrate
48 hrs Epithelial cells bridge the gap beneath
the scab
3rd
day Neutrophils replaced by macrophages
Thickness of epithelial cover increases
Granulation tissue appears
Collagen fibres present but do not
bridge the gap 28
29. TIME FRAME OF WOUND HEALING
5th
day Normal epithelial thickness
Maximum granulation tissue
Collagen fibres begin bridging
gap
End of 1st
week Wound strength 10% of normal
2nd
week Cellular infiltrate disappears
Blanching starts – vascular
channels regress, fibroblast
proliferation continues & collagen
accumulates
3rd
– 4th
week Healing complete but wound
strength subnormal

30. WOUND STRENGTH
TIME AMOUNT CAUSE
End of 1st
week 10% of normal Collagen

End of 2nd

50% of normal Collagen
deposition
End of 3rd
month
70-80% of
normal
Restructuring

31. FACTORS AFFECTING REPAIR
Protein & vitamin C deficiency
Diabetes mellitus
Decreased blood supply
Glucocorticoid hormones
Infection
Early movement of part
FB
Small wound size
Rich vascular supply
Incised wounds

39. FACTORS DETERMINING THE TYPE AND
AMOUNT OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
Agent factors:
Type of stimulus: typhoid/osteomyelitis
Virulence of organism
Dose
Portal of entry
Products of organisms: hyaluronidase
Host factors:
General health and immune status
Tissue involved
