Growth Factors and Wound Healing

Souba Willey W,MD ScD –



Role of Growth Factors :



(1)   Attracting macrophages to wound environment.



(2)
Regulating synthesis of collagen and connective
tissue.



(3)   Angiogenesis.



(4)   Tissue
Remodelling.



Explosion
in biotechnology capabilities has allowed for the
first time, the production of growth factors in large
quantities. These
compounds can be synthesized in megadoses by
genetically engineered “smart bacteria”.

Kallehave, E Christensen et al ,
1998. (Univ of Copenhagen) :

Less
Collagen Production in Smokers.

Surgery
123: 450-455



Smokers
showed a specific impairment of subcutaneous collagen synthesis – consistent
with reports of impaired wound healing in smokers.



Patients
should therefore be advised to quit smoking before
undergoing surgery and even for ever after
!!

Lazarou, BH Pomeranz, PN Corey,
1998. (Univ of
Toronto) :

Incidence
of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients: A
Meta-analysis of Prospective Studies.
JAMA 279:
1200-1205

There was a 6.7% overall incidence of serious adverse
reactions, with a 0.32% incidence of fatal adverse
reactions in hospitalized patients.
Serious adverse reactions in the USA estimated
to number 2,216,000 in 1994 with fatal adverse
reactions estimated to number 106,000 making adverse
reactions between the 4th and 6th
leading cause of death, ranking below heart disease,
cancer, stroke, pulmonary disease and accidents and
above pneumonia and diabetes.

Without an increase in collagen deposition .



GM6001 – Novel inhibitor of metalloproteinase (MMPs) -
its use decreased inflammatory infiltrate, the
collagen content, and the collagen type I gene
expression in the sponge granulomas.

1998. (Goteborg Univ, Sweden),

Tissue
Markers As Predictors of Postoperative Adhesions.

Br J
Surg 85: 1549-1554

Post-operative adhesions are associated with a
decreased capacity to degrade intra-abdominally
deposited fibrin, largely because of an increased
expression of PAI-1 (Plasminogen activator inhibitor
type1).

Rodgers, W Girgis, K St.Amand et al

Reduction
of Adhesion Formation in Rabbits by Intraperitoneal
Administration of Lazaroid Formulations

Hum
Reprod 13 : 2443-2451

Lazaroids exert their mechanism of action by
inhibiting lipid peroxidation reactions as well as the
production of reactive tissue metabolites.
Lazaroids could act to block the inhibition of
fibrinolysis.
