Regeneration/Repair after Inflammation

Factors Promoting Wound Healing

Secreting Cell Growth FActors Time of Secretion Function
Epithelium TGF-alpha Epithelial Damage SKin.Mucosal growth
Macrophage IL-10,TGF-beta at the of end inflamamtion Fibroblast for Collagen 3 secretion
Platelets PDGF after clot Enothelium,Smooth muscle and Fibroblast growth
Blood Vessels VEGF Blood vesssel damage Angiogenesis of Blood vessels
Fibroblast FGF Angoigenesi, Growth of Skeletal Mucle

    X2 ==>|"`***absence of Stem cell or loss of Stem cells***`"| X2a[Myocardium,deep cut in Skin,Neurons,Skeleton muscles];

Types of Wound Healing

  1. Primary healing = Skin close with Suture.minimum scar formation
  2. Secondary Healing = Skin not close enough ,scar tissue fills the gap

Causes of Delayed Healing

  1. Infection
  2. Problems in Collagen
    1. Vitamin C ,Zinc ,Copper deficiency
  3. Presence of Foreign Body,ischemia,Diabetes

Disease of Abnormal Healing
