Cellular Pathology: Basic Principles with Carlo Raj

by Carlo Raj, MD

The inflammatory response following tissue injury is important for normal healing, but dysregulation may also lead to pathology. The innate immune system is activated immediately after injury and sets off a local inflammatory cascade that recruits circulating immune cells to the site of injury. This rapid response begins with the degranulation of platelets that arrive at the site as well as the injury-induced degranulation of resident mast cells. Local immune cells, including resident macrophages, are activated by proinflammatory mediators released in response to injury. Inflammation is also promoted by a hypoxic wound environment, which stimulates many types of cells, such as macrophages, to produce important inflammatory mediators.

Wound-healing is occasionally classified as either primary healing or secondary healing. Primary healing can be defined as uncomplicated healing of a well-approximated wound. Surgical wounds are the best example of this. If external factors such as hypoxia, dehiscence, or infection complicate wound healing, or the wound is left to granulate, secondary healing occurs. During secondary healing, granulation tissue formation and epithelization over the new tissue take place. This latter type of wound is more susceptible to infections and poor healing.
