CHAPTER 14 Cellular Injury
281
Diseases of Increased Apoptosis
• HIV (CD4+ cells die through programmed cell death).
• Neurodegenerative diseases.
Diseases of Decreased Apoptosis
• Neoplasia.
• Autoimmune disease.
THE PROCESS OF HEALING
Regeneration and Repair
• Regeneration refers to total healing of a wound with res­titution of the original tissues in their usual amounts, arrangements and with normal function.
• Repair refers to the process where the original tissue is not totally regenerated and the defect is made good to a variable extent by scar tissue.
Cell Renewal
e regenerative capacity of cells varies. Cells can be classi­ed according to their potential for renewal:
• Labile cells:
• good capacity for regeneration
• e.g. surface epithelial cells constantly being replaced
from deeper layers, e.g. skin, oesophagus, vagina.
• Stable cells:
• divide at slow rate under physiological conditions
• replaced by mitotic division of mature cells and lost
cells are rapidly replaced
• e.g. liver, renal tubular epithelium.
• Permanent cells:
• never divide in post-natal life
• cannot be replaced if lost
• e.g. nerve cells, striated muscle cells, myocardial cells.
Repair
Organization is the process whereby specialized tissues are repaired by the formation of mature connective tissue, i.e. brous scar. Organization occurs by:
• brinous exudate
• removal of brin and dead tissue and phagocytes
• migration of broblasts and capillaries forming granula­tion tissue
• replacement of exudate by vascularized brous tissue
• eventually a collagen-rich scar develops.
Granulation tissue
• A combination of capillary loops and myobroblasts.
• Capillary endothelial cells grow into the area to be repaired.
• Fibroblasts are stimulated to divide.
• Fibroblasts secrete collagen and matrix components.
• Fibroblasts acquire muscle laments and attach to adja­cent cells and become myobroblasts.
• Myobroblasts cause wound contraction.
• Granulation tissue appears red and granular: hence the name.
• Excessive granulation tissue protruding above the wound surface is called ‘proud esh’.
Clinical Problems with Organization and Wound Contraction
Organization
• Fibrous adhesions in the peritoneum may cause intesti­nal obstruction.
• Obliteration of the pericardial space with scarring may cause constrictive pericarditis.
Wound contraction
• Stenosis (narrowing at an orice), e.g. anal stenosis aer haemorrhoidectomy, pyloric stenosis aer peptic ulceration.
• Stricture (a narrowing in a tube), e.g. narrowing in the colon aer ischaemic colitis.
• Scarring in a muscle causing a contracture.
• Contractures following burns, especially around joints.
INJURIES TO SPECIFIC TISSUES
Skin
Healing depends upon the size of the defect. It depends on whether it is an incised wound (surgical incision) or whether there is tissue loss.
Skin Anatomy (Fig. 14.1)
• Skin is composed of epidermis and dermis.
• Beneath the dermis lie subcutaneous fat, fascia and muscle.
• e blood supply to the skin arises from blood vessels which perforate the muscle (perforator vessels) and travel through the subcutaneous tissue to form the sub­dermal and dermal vascular plexus.
Incised Wound (Surgical Incision) – Healing by First Intention
• Edges of incision apposed.
• Fibrin ‘sticks’ edges together.
• Capillaries bridge tiny gap.
• Fibroblasts invade brin network.
• Aer 10 days wound is strong and sutures can be removed.
• Remodelling occurs from then on.

infected wound.
• Phagocytes remove any debris.
• Formation of granulation tissue in base of wound.
• Myobroblasts cause wound contraction
• Centripetal growth of epithelium from wound edges (re-epithelialization) to cover defect.
• Eventually tissue decit made good by scar tissue.
• Final cosmetic result depends on degree of tissue loss and amount of scarring.
Anatomy of Repair of Defects
• Wherever possible, scars from any wound should be placed in the lines of relaxed skin tension (Fig. 14.2), which are seen in the older patient as wrinkle lines.
• ese lines lie perpendicular to the underlying muscle contraction.
• ese are dierent to Langer's lines, which were ana­tomically derived using cadaver experiments and dier slightly due to lack of mechanical forces.
Abnormalities of Skin Healing
Keloid
• Excessive broblast proliferation and collagen production.
• Particularly common in black Africans.
• Collagen deposition occurs beyond and above the wound itself.
• Occurs aer surgery and injury, particularly burns.
• Covered by normal epithelium.
• Does not settle.
Hypertrophied scar
• Wound broad and raised.
Reconstructive Ladder (Fig. 14.3)
• When assessing any wound or defect, the principles of the reconstructive ladder can be utilized.
• Employing the simplest options rst, the ladder outlines dierent steps for closure of a wound or defect.
• e ladder can be ‘climbed’ as the complexity of the reconstructive situation increases.
• More recently the concept of a ‘reconstructive elevator’ is employed, where the appropriate reconstruction is selected for the specic defect or situation, which is not

always the simplest option: e.g. a large area of exposed bone without periosteum will need a ap of some sort.
Grafts
• Common option for closure of defects that cannot be primarily closed.
• Commonly composed of skin, but may contain a variety of tissue including:
• skin
• cartilage
• tendon
• bone
• or can be composite, using a combination of the above.
• Are not transferred with their own blood supply.
• Rely on the formation of a new vascular system at a new site.
• Dierent types of gra include:
• autogra: own tissue; most common
• allogra, e.g. cadaver bone
• xenogra, e.g. animal tendon; rare.
Skin grafts
• A full-thickness skin gra consists of epidermis and the whole of the dermis.
• A split-thickness skin gra consists of epidermis and a variable thickness of dermis.
Mechanism of skin graft take
Skin gras take in a series of steps, which can be broken into:
• Adherence:
• brin bonds the gra to the recipient site
• occurs in <12 h.
• Plasmic imbibition:
• gra absorbs essential nutrients from recipient bed
• occurs at 24–48 h.
• Inosculation:
• revascularization of the gra via growth of vascular
buds
• occurs at 48–72 h.
Split-thickness skin grafts (Fig. 14.4)
• Common donor sites include:
• thigh
• buttocks.
• Result in more contraction at the recipient site.
• Can be meshed for large areas needing gras.
• Result in pale, square scar at healed donor site (takes 10–14 days).
• Usually ‘take’ well as are thinner, helping them survive the imbibition phase.
Full-thickness skin grafts (Fig. 14.5)
• Common donor sites include:
• groin
• pre-/post-auricular areas
• supraclavicular region.

• Result in less contraction at recipient site.
• Limited to relatively smaller areas due to direct closure of donor site.
• Result in linear scar at donor site.
• Less reliable ‘take’ due to thicker nature.
Flaps
• Unit of tissue transferred with its own blood supply.
• Used for:
• large defects
• where a gra would produce a poorer cosmetic
result, e.g. face
• where the base of a defect could not support a gra,
i.e. bare bone, exposed tendon or poorly vascular­ized bed.
Classification
Can be classied in several ways:
• by composition: cutaneous, fasciocutaneous, myocuta­neous, osteofasciocutaneous, etc. (Fig. 14.6)
• by vascular supply: random pattern, axial, island (Fig. 14.7)
• by location of donor site to defect: local, regional/pedi­cled, distant/free (Fig. 14.8)
• by design: transposition, Z-plasty, rotation, advance­ment (Fig. 14.9).

Local flaps
• Local aps are composed of tissue raised adjacent to the defect to be covered.
• Can be a useful method of closing defects without ten­sion or gras.
• Can be utilized for scar revision, by changing the length or direction of a scar.
• is can be useful at cosmetically important sites, such as the face. Below are some general examples of random pattern
local ap options.
Transposition flap (Fig. 14.9A)
• A transposition ap can be of varying shape and is moved laterally into an adjacent defect.
• e angle of movement can be varied, but must leave signicant breadth at the base of the ap to ensure vascularity.
• e transposition results in a secondary defect, which can be primarily closed, but oen requires another method of closure, such as a skin gra.
Rotation flap (Fig. 14.9B)
• A rotation ap is usually a semi-circular shaped ap, which is rotated into the defect along the outer line of the semi-circle.
• is oen necessitates a ‘back-cut’ to allow sucient move­ment, but as with all aps there must be signicant width of tissue le at the base of the ap to ensure its survival.
• e rotation results in a secondary defect, which can oen be primarily closed.
Advancement flap (Fig. 14.9C)
• An advancement ap moves tissue into a defect without the use of lateral transposition or rotation.
• ey can be of varying shapes, some of which produce:
• a primary defect to be closed
• or excess tissue at the ap base which requires exci-
sion (Burow’s triangles)
• neither of the above aects the width of the ap base.
Z-plasty (Fig. 14.9D)
• A Z-plasty is composed of two interposing triangular transposition aps.

• ese can be used to alter the direction of a scar or the length of a scar contracture, depending upon the angles within the triangles of the Z-plasty.
Free flaps (Fig. 14.10)
Free aps are used in a variety of reconstructive situations including:
• Traumatic reconstruction:
• open fractures with so tissue loss
• injuries with severe degloving or tissue loss
• burn scar revision.
• Neoplastic/cosmetic reconstruction:
• post-cancer surgery, e.g. breast reconstruction, man-
dibular reconstruction
• tissue coverage post-debridement for necrotizing
infections.
• Functional reconstruction:
• facial or limb re-animation surgery using neurotized
aps.
• Below are some common aps used in the situations described above.
Radial forearm flap
• Vascular supply from perforating vessels of the radial ar tery.
• Based on the exor aspect of the forearm.
• Donor site can be directly closed, but for larger skin requirements needs skin graing.
• Can be taken with a segment of radius: e.g. for man­dibular reconstructions.
Anterolateral thigh flap
• Vascular supply from myocutaneous/septocutaneous perforating vessels of the descending branch of the lat­eral circumex artery.
• Based on a line drawn from anterior superior iliac spine to lateral patella.
• Donor site is directly closed.
• Can give large skin paddle.
Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP)/transverse
rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap
• Vascular supply from myocutaneous perforating vessels of the deep inferior epigastric artery.
Local:

Regional/pedicled:

CHAPTER 14 Cellular Injury
287
• DIEP ap dissects out perforating vessels to preserve rectus muscle and function, in eort to reduce donor site morbidity, i.e. hernias.
• TRAM aps take varying amount of muscle with the ap.
• Donor site is directly closed.
• Can give a large skin paddle with an acceptable abdomi­noplasty donor scar.
Bone
• Haematoma resulting from ruptured bone vessels and periosteal vessels forms between the ends of the fracture.
• Macrophages invade the haematoma together with poly­morphs and broblasts; new vessels form, brosis occurs and by the end of the rst week the clot is organized.
• Osteoblasts grow into the haematoma and form trabec­ulae of woven bone.
• e new bone (sometimes with islands of cartilage formed by chondroblasts) is called callus.
• Internal callus lies within the medullary cavity.
• External callus is related to the periosteum and envelops the fracture site, acting as a ‘splint’.
• By 2–3 weeks the repair tissue reaches its maximum girth in long bone, but is still too weak to support weight.
• Woven bone is subsequently replaced by lamellar bone.
• Remodelling takes place according to the direction of mechanical stress.
• Restoration to normal may take up to 1 year.
Factors Affecting Bone Healing
• Movement.
• Misalignment.
• Interposition of so tissues.
• Infection.
• Pre-existing bone disease.

free tissue transfer using microvascular surgery, e.g. ALT
Liver
• Hepatocytes have excellent regenerative capacity.
• Following surgical resection of areas of the liver for trauma, regeneration is rapid and full recovery of the organ’s mass occurs and the architecture is maintained.
• When the injurious agent persists – e.g. viral damage, alcohol abuse, autoimmune disease – brosis occurs, cirrhosis develops and the architecture is lost.
• Damage that destroys hepatocytes only may be followed by complete restitution.
• Damage that destroys hepatocytes and the architecture may not be followed by complete restitution.
Kidney
• Epithelium can regenerate.
• Architecture cannot regenerate.

• Loss of tubular epithelium, e.g. ischaemia, toxins, will recover provided enough normal epithelial cells are le to regenerate.
• Loss of glomeruli (glomerulonephritis) is likely to be permanent.
• Perivascular connective tissue cells in the base of the defect grow towards the surface and dierentiate into new mesothelial cells.

• Erosions can repair in a matter of a few hours if the cause is removed.
• Erosions can cause signicant gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds but escape detection by endoscopy a few hours later as rapid healing has occurred.
Mucosal Ulcers
Peritoneum
• Sutured peritoneum may result in local ischaemia, which acts as a stimulus to adhesion formation, espe­cially if contaminated with foreign material.
• A clean unsutured defect, no matter how large, will usu­ally heal without adhesions.
• Loss of full thickness of the mucosa.
• Repaired by granulation tissue in base and centripetal growth of surface epithelium.
• If cause persists, the ulcer may become chronic with considerable brous scarring, e.g. pyloric stenosis with chronic duodenal ulceration.

• Interrupted sutures with suturing of only the sero-mus­cular layers prevent ischaemia of the mucosa and allow good mucosal healing.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
Local
• Inadequate blood supply.
• Haematoma.
• Infection.
• Early movement (especially delayed fracture healing).
• Foreign material, e.g. sutures, extraneous foreign bodies.
• Irradiation.
• Denervation, e.g. peripheral neuropathy (diabetes, neu­ropathic ulcers).
• Leprosy.
• Charcot’s joints (joint does not repair).
Systemic
• Nutritional problems, e.g. malnutrition, vitamin C de­ciency (required for collagen synthesis), zinc deciency.
• Drugs, e.g. steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, cyto­toxic agents.
• Neoplasia.
• Diabetes mellitus: aects polymorph function, micro­vascular disease, neuropathy.
• Age: younger patients heal better than older patients.
• Jaundice.
• Uraemia.
INJURY DUE TO IONIZING RADIATION
Biological response to irradiation depends on:
• physical factors, i.e. dose, character, time of exposure
• chemical factors, e.g. substrates for generation of free radicals
• biological factors, i.e. phase of cell cycle at time of exposure. Individuals may be exposed to irradiation in several ways:
• Background:
• natural sources:
• cosmic
• terrestrial
• airborne
• food sources
• articial sources
• diagnostic X-rays
• nuclear power industry.
• Accidental:
• Chernobyl disaster.
• Occupational:
• radiologists
• mining of uranium.
• Medical:
• diagnostic tests.

Mode of Action
Following the passage of ionizing radiation through tissues, several types of free radicals are formed from water in the cells. Short-lived and highly reactive free radicals (e.g. H• and OH•) are formed. In well-oxygenated cells, oxygen free radicals (e.g. HO cals interact with macromolecules (e.g. membrane lipids
and O
2
•−
) are also formed. ese radi-
2
and DNA) and cause damage.
e types of radiation-induced DNA damage include:
• strand breaks
• base alterations
• cross-linking. e resulting DNA damage may have three possible consequences:
• cell death, either immediately or at the next attempted mitosis
• repair and no further damage
• a permanent change in genotype.
e outcome will depend upon the dose given and the radiosensitivity of the cell. Rapidly dividing cell popula­tions are the most sensitive.
Effects on Tissues
ese may be acute or chronic.
• Acute:
• result in cell death
• most marked in cells that are dividing rapidly, e.g.
gut epithelium, bone marrow, skin, gonads
• vascular endothelial damage results in uid and pro-
tein leakage into the tissue, causing inammation.
• Chronic:
• damage to endothelium results in exposure of under-
lying collagen with platelet adherence and thrombosis
• results in intimal proliferation and development of
endarteritis obliterans
• this results in long-term vascular insuciency and
consequent atrophy and brosis
• radiation-induced mutation of the genome increases
risks of neoplasia.
Effect on Individual Tissues
Bone Marrow
• Suspends renewal of all cell lines.
• Granulocytes are reduced before erythrocytes, which survive longer.
• Outcome depends on dose used.
• Varies from complete recovery to aplastic anaemia.
• Increased incidence of leukaemia in long-term survivors.
Skin
• Cessation of mitosis in epidermis with desquamation and hair loss.
• Regrowth will occur if enough basal stem cells survive.
• Damage to melanocytes results in melanin release into tissues, where it is ingested by phagocytes, which remain in the tissue, resulting in hyperpigmentation.
• Destruction of dermal broblasts results in inability to produce collagen, and therefore thinning of the dermis.
• Damage to small vessels results in thinning of the wall, dilatation and tortuosity, and the formation of telangiectasia.
Intestines
• Loss of surface epithelium results in diarrhoea.
• Damage of full thickness with brosis will result in stric­ture formation.
Gonads
• Extremely radiosensitive.
• Sterility may result with low doses.
• Mutations may occur in germ cells, with resultant tera­togenic eect.
Lung
• Progressive pulmonary brosis may occur.
• Inhaled radioactive materials may induce pulmonary tumours.
Kidney
• Gradual loss of parenchyma results in impaired renal function.
• Endarteritis obliterans of small vessels will cause intra­renal renal artery stenosis and hypertension.
Whole-Body Irradiation
• As the dose increases, so does the severity and rapidity of the onset of the eects.
• Total body irradiation may be used therapeutically to ablate the bone marrow prior to marrow transplantation with either autologous stored marrow or from another donor.
• A very high dose results in CNS damage, with coma and convulsions occurring within hours. As the dose reduces, gut damage occurs within a few days; with fur­ther reduction, marrow failure can occur in weeks; and at low doses there are no immediate eects, although there is a long-term risk of neoplasia.
Ultraviolet Light
• Non-ionizing radiation does not penetrate deeply.
• Has a range of wavelengths.
• May act by inducing thymine dimers in DNA, non­dimer damage, or inhibiting DNA repair processes.
